Biographical Note
Perry Hatch was born on August 16, 1888, in Marquette, Michigan. At the age of 22, he began work as a Boy Scout leader for Michigan’s first troop, Hiawathaland Council, and continued as a scout master until his death in 1975. He also worked as a banker for the Marquette National Bank. Mr. Hatch was a respected and honored leader in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula and won several awards for his service to Boy Scouts.
Martha Hatch was born Martha Breidemeir on June 27, 1899, in Barnesville, Minnesota, where she attended school to become a nurse. Mrs. Hatch continued her studies and became a teacher. She taught public school in Texas, North Dakota, Minnesota, and Marquette, Michigan. In Marquette, Martha Hatch became Northern Michigan University’s first staff nurse and instructor in the school’s Licensed Practical Nursing program. Martha married Perry Hatch in 1937. They had no children and Martha Hatch died in 1999.
