Why Is Thomas L. Martin Influential?
(Suggest an Edit or Addition)According to Wikipedia, Thomas L. Martin was a renowned soil agronomist. He was a professor at Brigham Young University and became the Dean of the College of Applied Sciences. Early life and education Thomas "Tommy" Lysons Martin was born in Lancashire, England on November 21, 1885, to James and Mary Ann Martin. His family was very poor, and 4 of his older siblings had died of malnutrition. His father was a miner, while his mother worked in a factory. As a baby, Martin was left with a wet nurse who, unknown to his parents, left him to sit in a maggot-filled, decomposing nursery chair for most of the day. Eventually his mother found maggots on Martin as well. When he was 2, his family moved to Wombwell, England. Due to poor living conditions, he was sick as a child and didn't walk until he was almost 6 years old. His parents joined the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in 1891. He studied in school, although he struggled, until 1898 when he dropped out in order to work in the coal mines. He was mechanically inclined and keen at fixing things and even opened his own business that allowed him to quit his job at the coal mine, although he always dreamed of becoming a teacher.
