Biography from the Centennial History of Coshocton County, Ohio by William J. Bahmer, Volume II, 1909, pp. 162-163.

Milton S. Marquand, who since the first of March, 1908, has conducted a meat market in Warsaw, is a native son of the Buckeye state, his birth having occurred on a farm in Franklin township, Coshocton county, March 6, 1877, being the seventh in order of birth in a family of nine children, born of the marriage of James S. and Mary E (Cave) Marquand.

The father was also born in Coshocton county and in early life followed farming. Later he engaged in merchandising in Conesville, Coshocton county, Ohio, in which he continued for many years, or until his demise, May 26, 1901. He was a republican in his political views and held a number of township offices. He was a successful business man, respected by all who knew him and his death was deeply regretted by the entire community. The wife and mother survived for only a short period, her death occurring August 4, 1902, and both lie buried in South Lawn cemetery, Coshocton. The record of their children is as follows: Carrie, the widow of J.H. Beck, and a resident of Conesville; Alice, the wife of P.C. Shipps, a gardener living near Coshocton; E.U., who is practicing medicine in Conesville; R.H., a resident of West Lafayette, Ohio; Katie, the wife of E.J. Robinson, who operates the old Marquand homestead in Franklin township; B.A. who is also practicing medicine, at Roswell Ohio; Milton S., of this review, Blanch, the wife of J.V. Smailes, of New Moscow, where he is engaged in farming; and Grace, the wife of R.M. Lanning, a dispatcher for the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company at Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

M.S. Marquand, the subject of this review, was educated in the schools of Conesville and in the business college in Coshocton. He was reared to agricultural pursuits, remaining with his father until he reached his maturity. He then engaged in the mercantile business in Conesville, which is conducted successfully for seven and one-half years, but in January he went to West Lafayette, where for a short period he was engaged in the livery business. He then returned to farm life, having purchased a tract of land comprising sixty acres in Bethlehem township, which he operated until the 1st of March, 1908. On that day he took up his abode in Warsaw, opening a meat market, which he has conducted to the present time. He has built up a large patronage and is numbered among the successful business men of this city.

Mr. Marquand was married in 1906 to Miss Mary N. Giffen, a resident of New Castle township, Coshocton county. Mr. Marquand gives his political support to the republican party, and for two terms served as assessor of Franklin township. He belongs to the Knights of Pythias at Coshocton, and his wife is a member of the Methodist Episcopal church. His success has been by no means the result of fortunate circumstances. It has come to him through energy, labor and perseverance, directed by an evenly balanced mind and by honest business principles, and today he stands among the successful and prominent business men of Warsaw.
