  4. Contemporaneous community notices reported Martin’s death and preserved personal recollections, including the association of his father with the Carl D. Bradley search effort. The recollections are not used to establish additional biographical facts without independent support.

  5. A friend posted a community tribute that repeats the broad occupations, island ties, and September 16 death date also covered by the Beaver Beacon. It enriches the social-memory record but is subjective and contains personal anecdotes not treated as independently verified biography.
