Over the next several weeks, a more complete picture of Martin H. Bluethner’s post-war, civilian life began to emerge. After his discharge from the Army, he was employed by the Canadian Bank of Commerce. He married Dorothy Florence Harvey on June 25, 1921, in Toronto. The wedded couple lived in Montreal, where two daughters were born to them. Martin immigrated to the United States on October 30, 1927, and established residence in Essex County, New Jersey. Six months later, on May 1, 1928, the rest of the Bluethner family joined him, making their home at 280 Gregory Avenue, in West Orange, New Jersey. On April 29, 1938, Martin Bluethner became a naturalized U.S. citizen in the Federal District Court at Newark. He continued in his banking career, starting as an auditor, and eventually attaining the position of Vice President with the Bronx Savings Bank. Martin lived out his final years in the town of Rye, in Westchester County, New York, where he died in May of 1982. He had survived one of the bloodiest conflicts in modern history and lived to a full 90 years of age.
