Monroe Monitor Friday 12/6/1929 Following a short period of Indispoaltion rather than sickness, Henry L. Marot, 85, died at the Snohomish general hospital early Monday morning. Funeral services were held from the Purdy & Sons chapel on Wednesday at 2 p.m., with the Rev. G.F. Hopkins officiating. Interment followed in the IOOF cemetery here. Mr. Marot had not been up to his usual good health of late but he was not confined to his bed either, and the turn of the worse which required him to be taken to the hospital, came quite suddenly. Surviving the deceased are his wife Mrs. Alice Marot, a son, Edward B. Marot of Monroe, and a daughter, Mrs. Clifford Carpenter of Snohomish. Mr. Marot was born in Dayton, OH October 26, 1844 (this is wrong according to pension and census and is even different then tombstone for our purpose we should use the one noted in Pension done by him), and his early childhood was spent in the state of Illinois, where at the age of 18 years he volunteered for service in the Union army! . He served two enlistments in the Civil War and following its close came west to the vicinity of Denver, CO, and followed the activity of mining, in some of the more famous camps of that time. During the Apache uprisings in Arizona and New Mexico he served on volunteer scout duty and at one time joined with other citizens in conjunction with a U.S. Army regiment to drive the Indians into Mexico. For many years he was engaged in mining, in the southwest and it was not until recent years that he came to the Puget Sound country. In 2885 he was united in marriage with Alice Bradford. Known to many Monroe people by his frequent visits here to the home of his son, Mr. Marot was highly regarded by those who knew him. He had a great regard for others and his affection was of the most unselfish kind. He was a man of great kindness of heart, and a host of friends have a tender memory for the affectionate friend who so often performed charitable acts for them. The Monitor joins! with others here in extending deepest sympathy to the relatives and f riends surviving. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
