The Man Whom Everybody Trusted

The obituary of Mr. Martin recently appeared, remarkable for its rarity in these days of demoralization, both in public and private life: “At Plainfield, N. J, Henry A. H. Martin, locally known as ‘the man whom everybody trusted,’ died on Friday. He was town collector for fifteen years, and his accounts never varied a cent. No nominations were ever made against him at an election.”
