Role in the Community
- Founding-era network (primary memoir material): 陳希寬’s memoir of compiling the first 《全美台灣同鄉通訊錄》 (58.回憶編印第一本《全美台灣同鄉通訊錄》的甘苦經過) names 王康陸 and 鄞美珠 among the 18 Manhattan, Kansas workers behind the directory. The drive sold 1,158 copies by 1968-03-08 (US$1,128 collected; with UFAI support US$2,069 total income). The directory effort grew out of the Kansas Formosan Group (1966) and the United Formosans in America for Independence (UFAI) circle.
- Published letter: authored 641. 給李登輝總統的信 (06/2018), held in the TAHS story corpus.
- TAHS encyclopedia record: 64. Martha Wang 鄞美珠 (2014-10-19).
- Husband’s memorial record: 334. 故王康陸秘書長告別式及骨灰佈撒行程記事 (陳宏達, 06/2018) documents the farewell of her husband 王康陸, identified in the record by the title 秘書長.
- Annual memorial concert: since 王康陸’s sudden death, the 美東台灣人夏令會 has held a 「王康陸紀念音樂會」 each early July; 遺孀Martha或兒子常出席追溯他的事蹟, and the concert closes with his favorite 「流浪者之歌」 (302. 王康陸紀念音樂會記事)。
- Husband’s own records (family layer): 王康陸’s TAH encyclopedia record 63. Kang-Lu Wang 王康陸 and the memorial photo-album record 26. In memory of Dr. Kang-Lu Wang 王康陸博士生命禮讚 (2014-11-27) — both surface in corpus greps alongside Martha and corroborate the memorial context above.
- Husband’s biographical + foundation records: the first-famous entry 54. Dr. Kang Lu Wang 王康陸博士 (Taiwan independence fighter, killed in a car accident in Taiwan, 1993) and the biographical essay 589. 台灣獨立運動鬥士——王康陸博士 (林茗顯, 10/2017) record his 1993 death and the 「王康陸紀念基金會」 (3. Dr. Kang-Lu Wang Memorial Foundation 王康陸博士紀念基金會) that carried the family’s memorial work forward.
- Movement-era context: the same corpus greps place 王康陸 in the 全美台灣獨立聯盟 New York headquarters cadre (76) and as the 全美會 Manhattan founding branch chair (33) — the Manhattan, Kansas node that Martha’s own directory work (ourjourneys58) sits inside.
