Martin, the owner and operator of this general store that was in Amherst, and believed to have burned down and replaced by a brick building that would come to be called "Cushing's Folly." The operation was a general store in the true sense of the word, providing customers with hardware, dry goods and groceries ranging from boots and shoes to paints, oils and grain, according to the signs.
