Birth: May 11, 1941 Bismarck Burleigh County North Dakota, USA Death: Jul. 10, 2010 MANDAN, N.D. - Jacob Martin Jr., 69, of Mandan, North Dakota, a Marine Corps veteran and longtime Great Falls resident, died of natural causes July 10 in Great Falls. Visitation is 4 to 7 p.m. Sunday at Weigel Funeral Home in Mandan, with a Catholic Daughters rosary and a parish vigil at 5 p.m. Visitation will continue an hour prior to the 10:30 a.m. funeral Mass Monday at St. Joseph Catholic Church in Mandan. Burial will be in North Dakota Veterans Cemetery. Jacob Martin Jr., son of the late Jacob and Wilhelmina (Paul) Martin, of Mandan, North Dakota, passed away in Great Falls on July 10, 2010. Jacob was born in Bismarck on May 11, 1941. He attended St. Joseph's elementary school and graduated from Mandan High School, where he lettered in four sports, with the Class of 1959. He was a natural leader and was quarterback of the Class 'A' football team. However, it was basketball that earned him a scholarship to Gonzaga University in Spokane. He holds a record for them: making 14 field goals without missing a shot. Jake volunteered for the U.S. Marine Corps in 1965, and was headed for Vietnam when he was hospitalized with pneumonia. It changed his life when he went into administrative work instead of being a rifleman. He later was promoted to sergeant major of the 3rd Marine Air Wing before retirement in 1988. He served in South Vietnam's Northern provinces from 1966 to 1967. Jake was in the hardware and tool business in Great Falls for many years after his military career. Jake is survived by his son, Joshua; sisters, Pauline Orndorf and Carol Schultz; brother-in-law, Harvey Orndorf; and nieces, Catherine Parisio, Monica Klein and Cerise Estep. A picture memorial service for family and friends in Great Falls is 6 p.m. Friday, July 23, at the Black Eagle Country Club.
