Biography/History

Henry Lewis Martin was born June 5, 1848, near Midway, Kentucky. He was the eldest child of Jesse and Margaret Thornton Martin. Martin and his father forged strong ties with the Confederacy. Both enlisted in the army. Jesse Martin served with General Abraham Buford, while Henry joined Company A of the 5th Kentucky Cavalry at the age of 14. Henry served as a scout and joined in John Hunt Morgan's last raid. Both Martins were captured at Cynthiania June 11, 1864, and were sent together to Rock Island, Illinois.

After the war Henry Martin attended a private school in Midway and turned to farming. His land holdings in Woodford County eventually numbered over 900 acres. He also became a partner in Martin, Thomson, and Co., which was a successful mule and horse dealership for many years. This firm was based in Louisville and New Orleans and traded throughout the U.S. and in Europe and the West Indies. Martin lived for six years in New Orleans in the 1870s and later divided his time between his Midway home and Louisiana. For several years Martin also owned a sugar plantation in Louisiana.

Martin was primary stockholder in and president of the Citizens Bank of Midway for fifty-two years. He was active in banking organizations such as the Kentucky Bankers Association.

Martin's political career related to both Kentucky and Louisiana. As a Democrat, Martin was elected state senator from the 22nd District of Kentucky (Scott, Woodford, and Jessamine counties). He served from 1893 to 1897 and was chairman of the Senate Finance Committee. In 1896 the "gold" Democrats nominated Martin as their candidate for the U.S. Senate in Kentucky.

Martin successfully represented Louisiana sugar planters before Congress in 1895 in obtaining the restoration of a $5 million federal sugar bounty. He considered this his greatest achievement.

After the Democratic Party advocated the free coinage of silver, rather than maintenance of the gold monetary standard, Martin changed his political allegiance to the Republican Party. He apparently continued to support the GOP for the rest of his life.

He also served for many years on the Midway Board of Education and as an elder in the Presbyterian Church. The senator was active in Confederate veterans' organizations, too. In 1871 Martin married Kate Brooks. Their four children were Henry L. Martin, Jr. (d. 1934); Jesse V. Martin (d. 1933); Margaret Martin Davis; and Mary E. Martin. After his first wife's death, Henry Martin, Sr., married Lulie Stephenson.

Scope and Content

The papers primarily relate to Martin, although materials pertaining to and written by his immediate family are also present. The collection contains much concerning agriculture, banking, and late nineteenth and early twentieth century politics. Numerous letters and receipts document Martin's mule and horse trading business, with many written by his primary partner, M.F. Thomson. (A third partner was J.P. Hudson.) The firm split up circa 1901. Much of this material relates to New Orleans and the Columbia, Tennessee, area, where the firm raised and held stock.

Martin's close association with many notable political figures is illustrated by many letters from friends such as Senator J.C.S. Blackburn; Congressman W.C.P. Breckinridge; Breckinridge's son, LEXINGTON HERALD editor Desha Breckinridge; U.S. Supreme Court Justice Edward D. White; Kentucky Governors W.O. Bradley and Augustus E. Willson and Basil Duke. A few letters from people such as future Governor William Goebel about politics and reformer Madeline McDowell Breckinridge concerning her charity work and social issues are also in the collection.

Agriculture is documented by letters, receipts, and business papers concerning Martin's lands in Kentucky; farm property he and his wife held in Tennessee; and son Jesse's farms in Kansas and Montana. They include many references to wheat sales and the raising of corn. Many letters refer to the Citizens Bank and general banking issues. Considerable correspondence over the years show Martin's affection for his confreres in arms from the Confederacy and his involvement in the veterans' groups and participation in their reunions. There are also numerous letters reflecting Martin's interest in and donations to charities, social causes, and cultural organizations.

Letters between Martin and family members concern personal news, family events, and farming. There are many receipts, bills, and other documents pertaining to the acquisition of goods and services by the family and relating to their financial affairs.

Also included are notes on many of the letters in the collection, compiled during processing. These notes are arranged chronologically by year only. An explanatory note to abbreviations used is attached to the notes

A few photographs are included, one of which shows a group of Confederate veterans in 1923
