Jim Martin was the first born of Birdie Henderson & Guy Martin.  Uncle Jim was wounded in France, WWII, in the Battle of the Bulge.  His upper teeth were shot out taking part of his left upper lip as well & leaving a permanent scar. Jim was married the first time to Marie Springer & they had one son, James Martin,Jr.  During the war Jim met his second wife, Mary.  I can't remember her last name but she was Hungarian.  They married in Germany & had one daughter, Pearl, named after my mother.  After the war they returned to the United States & settled in St. Louis Co., Mo. Since they lived not far from us we would visit back & forth often.  Jim loved plants & gardening as did my mother.  He also had bee hives in his back yard.  One time when I was over there visiting when he was harvesting honey.  He cut off a piece of the comb & told me to chew on it.  When I bit down on that honey comb & that sweet honey squished out in my mouth it was like a taste of heaven.  I had never tasted such good honey! When I was a teenager Jim & Mary got divorced & some years later he was briefly married to a woman named Lottie.  Don't remember her last name.  Then around 1972 he met & married Donna Asbridge & they resided near Bonne Terre, St. Francois Co., Mo. This marriage lasted until uncle Jim's death in 2010.
