From the Monmouth Review, June 25, 1898
Marsham Lucas, one of the first settlers of Monmouth, died at the age of 96 years on June 24, 1898 at his home in Abingdon where he had lived since 1864. He came to Monmouth from Kentucky in 1829. At that time there was no town but he helped plat the town when the site was picked out by the committee appointed by the state legislature and also helped lay out many of the county roads. He bought one of the first lots ever sold in the city, lot 4 in block 12, the lot just north of the Hall garage on North Second Street. He bought the first reaper and mower ever brought to Monmouth, driving to Chicago in a wagon for it.
