March was the eldest of the three American postal clerks on the Titanic and signed on giving his local address as 13 West Park Terrace in Southampton. During the sinking, the five clerks, helped by steward Alfred Theissinger and several other crewmen, struggled to bring some 200 sacks of mail up to a higher deck.

March died in the sinking and his body was later recovered by the MacKay-Bennett (#225).
