MARTIN, Bradley, Jr., capitalist, was born in New York city, July 6, 1873, son of Bradley and Cornelia (Sherman) Martin. His father was bom at Albany, N. Y., Dec. 18, 1841, the son of Henry Hull and Anne (Townsend) Martin, and was a graduate of Union College, in the class of 1863. He was very popular at college, being a member of the Sigma Phi fraternity, one of the most exclusive social organizations in the college, president of the principal literary society, and for a time editor of the college monthly. He thus began at college the social career in which he subsequently attained such a conspicuous place as a leader of society both in America and Europe. From Union, he entered the Albany Law School, and was admitted to the bar soon after. He practiced his profession until the increasing demands upon him as manager of an extensive estate absorbed all his time. He served in the civil war as first lieutenant in the 93rd regiment, N. G. S. N. Y. He was a trustee of the Metropolitan Trust Co., of New York, a member of the American Geographical Society, the American Museum of Natural History, a patron of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and a member of the New Metropolitan, Knickerbocker, Union, New York, and Racquet and Tennis clubs of New York, the Marlborough and St James clubs of London, England, and the Societe' de Sport, and Travellers' Club of Paris, France. His son Bradley Martin, Jr., was educated by private tutors, and entering Christ Church College, Oxford, England, was graduated in 1894, receiving the degree of M.A. from the institution in 1897. He was graduated at the Harvard Law School, in 1897. He is a director of the Standard Trust Co., the Van Norden Trust Co., the Hudson Trust Co., of New Jersey, and the Nineteenth Ward Bank. He is the author of a number of articles on economics, published in the " Nineteenth Century Magazine," London, which have caused favorable comment. His favorite recreations are shooting, fishing, motoring, travelling and deer-stalking; he has several shooting places in England, and his estate, Fetteresso Castle, is one of the show places of that country. Mr. Martin is a member of the Union, Knickerbocker, Racquet, Manhattan, Metropolitan, and Meadow Brook clubs of New York city, the St. James, Bachelor, Hurlingham, Ranelagh and Hastings clubs of London, and the Cirque de Bagatelle, L'Automobile de France and the Travellers' Club of Paris, France. He was married at Beaufort Castle, Scotland, Nov. 2, 1904, to Helen Margaret, daughter of Henry Phipps of Pittsburg, Pa., and they have two sons: Henry Bradley and Howard Townsend Martin.
