Martin was born Nov. 29, 1916, in Oliver County, the son of Martin J. and Anna (Moser) Feist. He attended rural schools in Oliver County. He married Edna B.

During the war, he made 11 jumps behind enemy lines. After discharge from the military in 1945, he lived in Glen Ullin where he worked for the railroad. Martin and Edna moved to Bismarck in 1948. He worked for Rausch Furniture for 28 years. He then worked for the Bismarck school system until 1982. Both Martin and Edna enjoyed the outdoors together.
