This looks like it could be William Alexander Martin in 1915 in Sedgwick Co, KS with his first wife and son. I think that the pages are mixed up on Ancestry. Their birthplaces are on a second page and they don't make sense. It's also possible that a line has been left out. If that's the case then what I think are the correct entries are in parentheses.

W A Martin 28 m GA (KS fireman)
A Martin 21 f KS (GA)
Rex Martin 3 m PA (KS)

I think that Alec/Alex in the following families is probably William Alexander Martin. It looks like he ws probably named for his grandfather.
