The last name is Martens. The “s” is missing in the paragraph above.
Thanks Teresa, the file has been updated!
The last name still hasn’t been changed in it’s entirety, only the title has been changed. It should say Eleanor Martens, and Martens Family Farm in all of them. The photo of the sign on the property, “Marten Family Farm signpost- 2009” says in the image how it should be spelled, yet the caption is still wrong. There was also a comment about how it is wrong and only the title was changed. If this is a historical website, it should be accurate in its entirety. Can you please make sure to make this change and add the s to all places where it says Marten, so it says Martens, the correct name?
Thank you!
Thanks for getting back to us on the incorrect spelling. We are all volunteers and subject to mistakes at times. The Martens Farm information has been updated.
