work train had just unloaded several piles of cinders beside the tracks being little lynn could only grasp the bottom rung of the ladder attached to the freight car as he hung there swinging he was knocked under the train by one of the piles as they rode by the train crushed his foot just above the ankle as it rolled over him he was taken to the doctor his foot was so badly crushed there was no repairing it the only way to save his leg and his life was to have the injured foot amputated 6 7 this must have been a horrible experience both the traumatizing accident and the resulting amputation however there was a great deal of spunk in the little boy only a month later the local paper reported lynn westaby the little fellow who lost a foot by falling under the cars last month is able to be out again with the aid of crutches 8 and just a few days before christmas this intelligent child who celebrated his seventh birthday only a month earlier would stand in front the congregation of the

facebook tuesday february 04 2025 steve goes to reform school back in october i wrote about how my children s paternal ancestor reportedly blew up the local schoolhouse and that his younger sons took the fall so that their father could stay home and continue to support his large family the newspaper articles i shared then showed there was some truth to the story although it seems to have played out somewhat differently than the family story stated i discovered three more newspaper articles in the bonners ferry herald at newspapers com as a follow up to where i left off the first was a short mention in the local news section about the hearing for the younger son stephen untitled news item bonners ferry herald bonners ferry idaho 22 september 1916 p 4 col 4 digital image newspapers com https www newspapers com 30 october 2024 the continued hearing in the case of the state against stephen martin charged with being a juvenile delinquent was heard by probate judge o callaghan last monday judge o callaghan took the case under advisement and will render a decision monday the following week a herald journalist wrote these paragraphs which appear to be not just reporting stephen s sentencing but an op ed piece about the county auditor county business plus politics bonners ferry herald bonners ferry idaho 29 september 1916 p 10 col 1 digital image newspapers com https www newspapers com 12 november 2024 county business plus politics stephen martin who on monday in judge o callaghan s court was held to be a juvenile delinquent and who was ordered committed to the idaho state industrial cshool sic at st anthony left last evening for the state school in the custody of county auditor stanley just at this time this comes as an interesting bit of news owing to the fact that recently the county auditor alleged the duties of his office required two deputies at a total salary of 150 monthly and that he could not get along with less help nevertheless the county auditor finds time to assume the role of state land appraiser upon occasions and to act as a guard when an opportunity presents itself to visit other towns of the state presumably at the expense of the county all of which needs but little explanation when it is remembered that mr stanley is the democratic nominee for congressman the trip to st anthony should give auditor stanley a good chance to look after his political fences the final article i found was a notice published also on 22 september 1916 by the martins neighbor john v witt who you may recall reported in the article ike martin freed by jury that sunday evening someone fired a bullet from a high power rifle through the front door of his house the bullet passing a little over the head of his sleeping baby on monday mrs witt was badly frightened when the clothes she was hanging up to dry were peppered with shot from a shotgun the insinuation was that it was the martins doing the shooting notice to hunters in katka district bonners ferry herald bonners ferry idaho 22 september 1916 p 6 col 1 digital image newspapers com https www newspapers com 30 october 2024 notice to hunters in katka district on and after this date there shall be no hunting upon the ground enclosed by my fence as i have taken notice that some people haven t sufficient brains to use a gun with safety to the general public i have to take these precautions to protect the lives of my wife and baby any person or persons found hunting on my premises will be prosecuted september 15 1916 signed john v witt tf i had not heard of the idaho state industrial school so i did a google search sometimes called the idaho state reform school it was located in st anthony fremont county idaho founded in 1903 it housed wayward youth in conditions so bad that reportedly some inmates chose to take their own lives a wikipedia article discusses the women s dormitory which is now on the national register of historic places a pdf document published by the idaho historical society details the nomination of the dormitory to the national register the men s dormitory likely looked similar i wondered if stephen was still an inmate when the 1920 federal census was taken four years later but reviewing the census records for the school line by line did not yield his name in fact i could not find him at all on this census any where in the united states even in his parents home by 1920 the martin family had moved to kahlotus franklin county washington over 200 miles southwest of their former home in katka idaho 1 they had sold their home in 1919 2 and moved to washington whether it was because of the neighborhood tensions or because frank s job as a railroad boss or perhaps both it s likely that stephen had served his time and had moved on p s
