General Notes: Husband - Col. L. M. Marsh
When he was thirteen years old, his parents moved from New Jersey to Coshocton County, Ohio, and there he completed his school attendance and then learned the tailoring trade. When twenty-one years old he went to Marietta, Ohio, where he followed his trade, and from there to West Virginia, where he was residing at the time of the outbreak of the Civil War. His loyalty to the Union was manifested by his immediately enlisting, and his standing was shown by his being made captain of Co. E, 10th W. Va. Vol. Inf., which was assigned to the Army of the Potomac. He encountered many of the direst misfortunes of war. At the battle of Kernstown he was wounded in the foot and being left helpless on the battle field was taken captive. For two months he was confined in the infamous Libby Prison at Richmond, at the end of that time securing a parole, and six months later was exchanged and rejoined his regiment. His subsequent career as a soldier was brilliant and when he was honorably discharged and mustered out it was with the rank of lieutenant-colonel. Col. Marsh then returned to peaceful pursuits, locating at Washington, Pennsylvania, and he was occupied for two years as bookkeeper for a large business concern. In 1870 he was made secretary and treasurer of the Washington County Fire Insurance Company and he continued to discharge the duties of that position during the remaining years of his active life. He had additional interests, being associated for some years in the real estate business with his son, Addison C. Marsh, under the firm name of L. M. Marsh & Son.
He was a Republican in his political affiliation. Both he and his wife were consistent members of the Methodist Episcopal Church.
