BISMARCK PIONEER PASSES AWAY AT HOME OF DAUGHTER
With the death of M. L. Marsh late Wednesday afternoon, the Capital City lost one more of its oldest pioneers. Mr. Marsh had been ill for some time with a cancer of the stomach and his death has ended a long siege of suffering.
He was the father of Grant Marsh, employed with Webb Brothers, and Miss Mary Marsh, who has a position with the telephone company. He was proprietor of one of Bismarck's early hotels, being closely identified with the early history of this city in many ways. Mr. Marsh was a cousin of Capt. Grant Marsh.
The funeral will be held tomorrow afternoon at 2 o'clock at the Methodist church. Rev. A. Lincoln Shute officiating.
The pallbearers will be Louis Larson, J. M. Wakeman, A. F. Marquett, Frank Reed, E. A. Dawson and A. Logan.

FUNERAL WAS HELD THIS AFTERNOON AT METHODIST CHURCH
Another link was broken in the fast weakening chain of North Dakota pioneers with the death of Martin L. Marsh, Wednesday, at the home of his sister, Mrs. R. R. Marsh, on East Main street. Mr. Marsh has been closely identified with the history of the capital city since his coming in 1872, and has countless friends and acquaintances all over the state who mourn his loss.
The deceased was born in New York state in 1844 and came to Bismarck in June of 1872, where he at once went into business as the proprietor of the Capital hotel, Bismarck's first hostelry, on the present site of the Gussner store. On Thanksgiving day, 1881, he was married to Miss Anna Tully, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. T. J. Tully, still residents of this city.
In 1895 Mrs. Marsh died, leaving three children, Grant, Mary and Terrence Marsh, to be cared for by Mr. Marsh' sister. Mrs. Phoebe Marsh has also cared for her brother for many years, as he has been in ill health for some time.
Among the bereaved relatives are two brothers and two sisters, Francis G. Marsh of Windom, Minn., W. W. Marsh of Frewsburg, N. Y., Mrs. L. A. Forbush of Jamestown, N. Y., and Mrs. E. L. Rawson of Centralia, N. Y.
The funeral occurred this afternoon at 2 o'clock from the Methodist church with Rev. Shute in charge of the ceremonies, and the remains were buried in the Catholic cemetery.
