FUNERAL OF THE LATE TIP S. MARVIN HELD FRIDAY AFTERNOON - Taps have been sounded and T.S. Marvin answered to the last earthy roll call
December 31, 1913. Mr. Marvin was born July 28, 1839 on a farm in Jackson township.
He was a farmer until he was nineteen years of age then served as an apprentice to a carpenter in Rome, for two years and in November 1860, he began working his trade in the employ of the Big Four railroad.
On the fifteen of April 1861 when
the smoke from Fort Sumter's guns had barely cleared away, he offered his services to the government to the call for aid, he was the fifth name upon the roll. He enlisted in Company A. Fifteenth Regiment Ohio Infantry on the 12th day
of October the same year Mr. Marvin re-enlisted for three years service.
On the 31st day of November he was commissioned first lieutenant, and assigned to Company H of the Sixty-fourth United States Infantry from Ohio. After the battle of Shiloh, he was detained as quartermaster on staff duty, and for a time under General Garfield who was commanding the brigade.
In July 1864 he was promoted to the rank of captain but declined the honor. He participated in the battles of Chickamauga, Chattanooga, ant the Atlantic campaign, and when the army was divided, Sherman started on his march to the sea. Mr. Marvin was attached to General Thomas's division and while on detach duty in this
department he had some varied and interesting experiences.
On December 7, 1865, Mr. Marvin was united in marriage with Miss Elizabeth Seitner, and to this union three children were born, Silas William, Ruth S, wife of H. K Houpt of Shelby and Elizabeth Judith the wife of John W. Mykrantz of Ashland. These are living to mourn the loss of husband and father.
Tip Marvin was a true patriot , loyal to his country, his home and to his God. Always ready to lend a helping hand to speak words of cheer and comfort when they were needed. He served the Big Four railroad for many years, first as a carpenter, next as superintendent of the construction department and the last fifteen years as an inspector.
He retired from active service February 10, 1909 at the age of 70. At the time of his retirement he received many letters and other testimonials of his loyal and faithful and efficient service while in the employ of this company.
Rev. B.F. Morris of Shenandoah, chaplain of Mr. Marvin's regiment assisted Rev. Quick pastor of the Disciples church preached the funeral sermon. It was a difficult task he touched the
hearts of his sufferers for there was not a dry eye among those of his comrades and friends who had come to pay the last tribute of respect to this loyal soldier, loving husband, devoted father and faithful friend.
Miss Sylvia Keener read Mr. Marvin's favorite song, "When The Roll Is Called Up Yonder, I'll Be There." that was his evening prayer. There were many beautiful floral tributes, his body was laid to rest in Oakland cemetery, January 2, 1914.

In Memoriam by his life long friend E.S. Close
Tip S. Marvin - Enlisted on first call April 18,1861 for 3 months, served 4 months and 11 days
in the Ohio Volunteer Militia U.S. Army. Re-enlisted on second October 12, 1861 for 3 years.
November 30, 1861 elected and commissioned first Lieutenant and assigned to Company H. 64th Regiment Ohio Volunteer Regiment Infantry U.S. Army served with that company up to April 21, 1862 when he was detailed on the battlefield of
Shiloh Tenn., as quartermaster of the 64th O.V.I. U.S.A. and served in that as brigade
quartermaster to the end of the war. On July 14, 1864 he received a captains commission but did not accept. Honorably mustered out on April 13, 1865 four days after Robert E. Lee had surrendered the army of North Va. to General U.S. Grant.
Such is the brief military record of Comrade T.S. Marvin as shown at Washington D.C.
Friday, surrounded by his family, his gray haired comrades of the G.A.R. and
sympathetic friends and neighbors the last farewell words were spoken over his remains
and another brave and gallant soldier was carried to his last resting place.
No bugle call to arms can reach him there. No clamor of battle can raise him from his profound and dreamless slumber. It was fitting that his comrade the old Chaplain of the Sherman Brigade the B.F. Morris should speak the farewell words.
His theme was the resurrection of Christ. He envisioned the gloam and mist that enveloped the human soul in regard to the future life until the Star of Bethlehem arose and God gave his own son to unveil the mysteries of the unknown beyond, and by his death upon the cross redeemed the world from sin and by his resurrection from
the grave secured to all eternal life. It was a thrilling sermon and he closed with a glowing tribute to his dead Comrade Tip S. Marvin.
To the dear wife and children he said:
When you go up an down this land of the free and see Old Glory flying from every flag pole, console yourself with the glorious thought: my husband, my father placed it there. He and his brave comrades by their loyalty and devotion to the Union by giving up their lives to the cause of liberty, preserved the union of the states and
made it possible for the dear old stars and stripes to float all over this broad land. Maine to Florida, and from the Atlantic to the Golden gate of the Pacific. "Let this thought comfort you in your sad bereavement."
We leave our dear brother and comrade in the hands of a just and merciful God.
Should not the judge of all the earth do right??
