Frank Bradley Martin (1883-1963) was the office manager of Weyerhaeuser Timber Company’s Everett branch.
Apparently, Martin was a jack of all trades. He also worked as a bookkeeper, insurance agent and a farmer.
Martin was an auditor and accountant for Weyerhaeuser in 1918. The U.S. Census lists him as an Everett bookkeeper in 1910 and a cashier at an Everett lumber mill in 1920. It’s probable that all of these jobs were for Weyerhaeuser.

In Holy Matrimony.
He married Frances Grace Murdock in 1906. Frank and “Grace” had two daughters: Dorothy and Lois, both of whom were born in Everett.
While in Everett, Martin lived at 620 Warren Ave. He had the house built in 1920 for his family of four.
An End in the Lumber Industry.
By 1930, Martin left the lumber industry to get into insurance. He was working as an insurance agent in Tacoma in 1937.
Into Farming He Went.
In 1940, the U.S. Census provides he was a farmer tending some acreage in Vancouver, Washington. By 1950, Martin had his own farm in Lake Shore.
