Edward Martin ran for office fifteen times and never lost an election. In addition to being governor and U. S. Senator, Martin, six-foot, four inches tall, had a distinguished military career through four wars. Martin was born at Ten Mile, Washington Township, Greene County, on September 18, 1879. He was the son of Joseph Thomas Martin, a local school director, and Hanna M. (Bristor) Martin. Although it can be said that Martin was the last Pennsylvania governor born in a log cabin, his parents were well-to-do farmers and sheepherders who descended from Scots-Irish immigrants in the mid-1600s in New Hampshire on his father's side and from nineteenth century German immigrants on his mother's side. His early education was in a one-room school house called Hazel-Greene, followed by enrollment at Monongahela College in 1895 before transferring to play football and earn his bachelor of arts degree in pre-law from Waynesburg College in 1901. College was interrupted in 1898 to serve in the 10th Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry during the Spanish-American War and then in the Philippines Insurrection. He returned home in 1899 as a sergeant, and despite having contracted malaria, he completed his degree work. After joining the Pennsylvania National Guard in 1900, he was commissioned as a first lieutenant by the time he graduated. After studying law, Martin was admitted to the Pennsylvania Bar in1905 and began his practice of law in Waynesburg, the same year he was promoted to captain.

In addition to his service in the United States House of Representatives, he was also member of the Pennsylvania State Senate, Judge of the Court of Common Pleas of Northumberland County and the Court of Common Pleas in Philadelphia. Troutman died in Shamokin, Pennsylvania, and is interred at the Odd Fellows Cemetery. John Cromwell Bell Jr. (October 25, 1892 March 18, 1974) was an American lawyer, politician, and judge. He was the 18th lieutenant governor of Pennsylvania (19431947) before becoming the 33rd and shortest-serving governor of Pennsylvania, serving for nineteen days in 1947. He was later a justice of the Pennsylvania Supreme Court (19501972), serving as Chief Justice from 1961 to 1972. He later earned a reputation as a strong opponent of President Franklin D.
