The Washington Republican Washington County Friday August 23, 1901 Peter MARMON was born in Zanesfield, Logan Co., Ohio, Aug. 9, 1838; married Miss Mary J. LEE at Mitchelville, Iowa, 1867; moved to Kansas in 1884, living in Washington Co.; moved to Anderson, McDonnaled Co., Mo., in 1895, where he lived until April 1901, when he went to Kansas City to be treated for cancer on the lip. After several weeks treatment his cancer was pronounced incurable, and he came to the home of his daughter, Mrs. W.H. SAVAGE, at Beaver creek, Washington Co., Kansas, on July 2, 1901, to visit his children for the last time. Growing rapidly worse he remained with W.H. SAVAGE, patiently bearing his suffering until Sunday, Aug. 18th, 11:45 a.m. when death came to his relief. In July he had the pleasure of having his entire family and his only living brother, L.C. Marmon, of Thornsburg, Iowa, at his bedside to bid him a last farewell and hear a loving Father's last words of advice and cheer. The departed leaves a wife and six children to mourn the loss of a beloved father and husband, comforted as best they can be by a host of friends and acquaintances. Peter Marmon was a veteran of the rebellion enlisting at the second call in 1862. He was one of the 96th Ohil volunteers and served until the close of the war, a part of the time as second lieutenant, when musted out he held a first lieutenant's commission. Peter Marmon's father, Joshua Marmon, was a Quaker and his custom was in honoring his departed dead, to have read the last chapter of Revelation, singing and prayer conducted by a pastor or a Friend. This custom the son has always continued, and was the request of his family in paying the last tribute of love and respect to a departed husband and father. The service was conducted by the Rev. J.S. BECKWITH on Monday at 2 p.m and the remains were laid to rest in the Maplewood cemetery. A Friend.
