From THE PAST AND THE PRESENT, PLATTE COUNTY, NEBRASKA, Volume II-

Gottfried Marty was brought to Platte county by his parents forty-six years ago, when a little child of but two years. General agricultural pursuits have claimed his attention throughout his entire business career and in association with his sons he now owns six hundred and forty acres of valuable land, his home being on section 23, Sherman township. His birth occurred in Canton Bern, Switzerland, on the 13th of January, 1867, his parents being Benedict and Anna Marie (Simmons) Marty, both of whom were natives of Germany. In 1869 they crossed the Atlantic to the United States and came direct to Platte county, Nebraska, living for a short time in Columbus, where the father passed away. The widowed mother then removed with her family to a farm in Colfax county but subsequently became the wife of Henry Miller and settled on a farm in Sherman township, Platte county, where the remainder of her life was spent. To Mr. and Mrs. Benedict Marty were born three children, as follows: Gottfried, of this review; Adolph, of Sherman township; and Mrs. Melchior Jenny, who also lives in Sherman township.

Gottfried Marty was reared to manhood on the farm, early becoming familiar with the duties and labors that fall to the lot of the agriculturist as he assisted in the cultivation of the home place. The work of the fields has claimed his attention throughout his entire business career and his efforts have been rewarded with well merited success, so that he now owns six hundred and forty acres of rich and productive land in association with his sons. The property lies in Sherman township and is improved with a commodious residence and excellent buildings for the shelter of grain and stock. Mr. Marty has won prosperity as the logical result of untiring industry and perseverance and has long been numbered among the substantial and representative agriculturists of the county.

On June 7, 1889, Mr. Marty was joined in wedlock to Miss Marie Brock, who was born in Sherman township, this county, on the 14th of November, 1870, her parents being John and Anna Elizabeth (Schueller) Brock, natives of Germany. They came to Platte county, Nebraska, in 1866 and became early settlers of Sherman township, where both passed away. To Mr. and Mrs. Marty have been born twelve children, namely: Gottfried Ernst, at home; Clara, who is the wife of William Johannes, of Creston township; Walter F. and Marie, both at home; Matilda, who died at the age of seven months; Emil Adolf, at home; Anna M.; Arthur H.; Otto J.; Rosa M.; Ernst H.; and Irma E.

Politically Mr. Marty is a democrat and at one time served as justice of the peace, making a most commendable and satisfactory record in that connection. His religious faith is that of the Lutheran church. Both he and his wife enjoy an extensive and favorable acquaintance in their home community and are widely recognized as people of genuine personal worth and upright, honorable lives.
