Please share a memory of Martin to include in a keepsake book for family and friends.
Martin Dale Hohulin of Lamar, Missouri passed from this life Friday, February 20, 2015 at the age of 86, following several years of declining health. Martin was born to Silas and Lydia (Marti) Hohulin on April 30, 1928 in rural Bourbon County near Fort Scott, Kansas. Martin attended schools in Illinois and Kansas and graduated from high school in Princeville, Illinois. He married Edith (Kaiser) Hohulin on October 17, 1948 in Morton Illinois. To this union was born four children, Bill, Bonnie, Becky, and Bubs. During their married life, Martin and Edith lived in several locations in Illinois and Kansas before moving to Lamar in 1973. They were lifelong members of the Apostolic Christian Church. Martin worked at a number of professions in his life including as a farmer, plumber, pipefitter with Caterpillar, and night security at O'Sullivan's. He retired from O'Sullivan's in 1998. Martin was an avid collector of license plates. He and his oldest son, Bill, collected them together until Bill's death in 1970. Martin went on to become one of the premier collectors in the hobby, amassing a collection known to fellow hobbyists across the nation. He enjoyed attending regional and national conventions and meeting and trading with fellow collectors. In later years when his declining health kept him from traveling as far, he and Edith enjoyed attending bluegrass festivals in Missouri and Arkansas. Martin was preceded in death by his father, mother, two stepmothers, two brothers, a sister, and son, Bill Hohulin.
