JS Marr
In our last issue we made brief mention of the death of the worthy citizen whose name heads this. Mr Marr was born in the town of Sheffield, Ashtabula county, Ohio, October 2d, 1837 moving thence with his father to CRawford county, Pennsylvania when seventeen years of age. He attended college at Ashtabula, Ohio where he met Miss Sarah E Cross who became his wife March 23d, 1859 and who remained a helpful to him until his death the 20th instant. During his business life he was engaged in trade in Ohio and in Pennsylvania, and also in the lumbering business in the Saginaw Valley, his final move being from Ohio to our neighboring township of Casco in 1867, since when we have personally known him as one worthy of the utmost confidence and esteem, and one whose frequent social calls at our office during his visits in the village were always a source of pleasure. In 1872 he became a member of the first Baptist church which disbanded a few years afterwards and the United Brethern church took its place. He has been engaged in the mercantile trade for the past nineteen years at Spring Grove and postmaster at that place nearly or quite all that time, and was a justice of the peace for eight years. He had accumulated and leaves a handsome farm home property to his family, which with Mrs Marr consists of a son and a daughter, both married. In his home life the deceased was one of the best of men, and among his neighbors he stood as an example worthy of imitation, and was one whose absence will be felt in many circles. The loss of such a husband, father and friend can only be realized by those who have suffered such a separation, and we know the sympathies of all their acquaintances will be extended
