Martha was born on November 17, 1926 in Strasburg, ND to John and Mary (Ibach) Bosch. She grew up near Strasburg and attended country school. Martha worked for various families in town, helping with housework and other things the families would need.

While at a dance in Strasburg, Martha met Leo Jahner. They were united in marriage on October 13, 1947 at St. Bernard's Catholic Church, rural Strasburg. Martha and Leo made their home on a farm west of Linton where they farmed and were blessed with 6 children. In 1989 they retired and moved into Linton.
