Notes for C
HELSEY MARION MARTIN:
Chesley Marion Martin was born in Hopewell,Anderson Co, SC on a plantation. His parents farm had been in the path of Sherman's march to the sea and the Martin family had just begun to recover. During the summers young Chesley picked cotton and harvested wheat, then spent the winters shoeing animals. A cousin who was a doctor taught him to care for sick stock and thus gave him his introduction to medicine.He attended a country gradeschool. He received his high school diploma from Hiawassee, a Baptist school in Towns County, GA , after which he did pre-med work at Wake Forest College, NC. There he immediately became known as "Cotton" because of his curly blond hair.

His father believed farming was "the greatest work in the world," but when he heard his son wanted to enter medicine he said, "It's your life." Chesley spent two years at Wake Forest then moved to New Orleans to enroll in Tulane University's medical school. In the meantime, an older brother had opened a pharmacy in Fletcher, Oklahoma. Cotton spent two summers working with his brother learning the drug trade, then transferred to Oklahoma University, graduating in 1915.

In Fletcher, Cotton Martin met another transplanted Carolinian, Charlie Joyce, the town doctor. Doc Joyce's wife came from Danbury, North Carolina, a town she said had one doctor but could use two. Dr. Chesley M Martin packed his diploma in the one suitcase he owned and climbed on the next east-bound train.

Three days later he arrived in Danbury. Nat Petree, Doc Joyce's father-in-law appeared at the station to greet him. Nat boarded the young doctor at his house, loaned him enough money to buy a horse, and introduced him to his daughter, Sarah.

Danbury is on the fringe of the Carolina mountain country, and the new doctor was often called to ride into the hills. One drizzly winter day he had to deliver a baby for a moonshiner. On his way up into the hills, the doctor met the expectant father on his way down leading a wagon laden with jugs. "Hi, Doc," said the moonshiner and kept going. It was to be his 11th child and he didn't seem particularly interested in sticking around.

When the doctor arrived at the cabin, the mother was already in bed. Dr. Martin, who neither drinks nor smokes, later described the home: "Pipes ran in one window carrying water from a nearby stream, the fireplace contained a still, and more pipes carried waste products out another window to a ditch. Just breathing the air was enough to make a man intoxicated."

A dog and a pig were snoozing peacefully near the bed while he attended his patient. During the delivery the dog awoke and bit the pig's ear. All of a sudden, dog, pig, saddlebags, pills, and empty jugs were flying around the room. And at that moment a baby cried.

Whether this traumatic experience influenced Doc Martin, he won't say, but six months later he returned to Oklahoma. However, he did acquire one souvenir of his stay in Danbury: Nat Petree's daughter. She followed him two years later and they were married in 1918.He bought a modest frame home on the south edge of Elgin. The original 4 room house was enlarged throughout the years to 12 rooms. "We kept adding a room or two every time one of the children was born."

Dr. Martin was a small, vigorous man whose eyes and smile revealed both a rich sense of humor and a deep devotion to his profession and community.A slender man who seemed almost dwarfed by the bulky black bag he carried, he spoke in a voice that seemed both booming and quiet. It carried the deep, resonant tones of the Carolina plantations, where he was born. He had the habit of emphasizing words that made his speech flow like a peaceful ocean punctuated by an occasional towering wave. Nearsighted since birth, he wore plain, gold-rimmed spectacles. Because of his poor eyes, he occasionally asked someone to chauffeur him on night calls. He never was a horse and buggy doctor, although in the early years, when roads were impassable for his model T Ford, he did resort to horseback.

"Just a country doctor", Dr. Martin was described as "the most necessary man in his community" of Elgin, Oklahoma, a town of about 450.He worked 12 hours a day, six days a week, making frequent house calls. His practice covered 1200 miles and he annually travelled more than 50,000 miles. Besides being the town doctor, he was school board chairman for 45 years, mayor for 31 years,"amateur" architect and builder of the Methodist church, various school buildings, including a large gymnasium,and a barn,master farmer in the Future Farmers of America, board member and once chief-of-staff of a Lawton, OK hospital, and "medicine man" for several dozen Comanche Indian families.

In December, 1959, Doc Martin , a family doctor who "goes when he is called", who had been known to send worn parents to bed while he watched by their sick child, who served his people in health, as in sickness, was named "Family Doctor of the Nation" by the American Medical Association.

After returning from the awards ceremony in Dallas, TX, his wife, Sadie, indicated that maybe it was time to start easing up on his duties. "When are you going to retire?", she dutifully nagged. "When they plant me!"he snorted in reply. She had anticipated this answer. She laughed heartily when among the many letter of congratulations he later received she found one from Florida. "...I'd like to show you a place in Virginia Beach for your retirement." "That'll be the day," said Mrs. Martin. Her husband put it more bluntly,"Fossilizing, bah! That's for the animals."
