~~~
Marvin B. Persons came a year later than Mr. Cronk (1838), and for twelve months made his home with him, assisting him in clearing the farm. Later he effected an arrangement with Thomas L. Brent, a large land-owner, to clear a tract for him in the present township of Flushing, and received as compensation for this service 80 acres of his present farm, which he immediately proceeded to improve. He erected a log shanty, and subsequently married and made his home upon this tract. since that time he has added to its dimensions, and he is now one of the representative men of the township.
The township cemetery embraces a tract of land purchased from the farms of Marvin Persons and James W. Cronk for the purpose. It is inclosed with a neat and substantial wire fence and ornamented with wellgrown shade-trees. The many beautiful marble slabs which it contains bear witness to the tender memories which departed friends have left behind.

Death record reflects he had aged 69 Years, 11 months and 21 days.
