  MARIUS CHAMPE BURCH, son of Edward William and Eliza (Thompson) Burch, was
born near Mount Meigs, in Montgomery County, Ala., June 14, 1840. He spent his
early days on a farm, and received a good education in the high school at
Tuskegee, Ala. Since 1809 he has been engaged in milling and agricultural
pursuits. In 1872 he went to Danville, Montgomery County, Tex., and kept books
two years, at the same time supervising property in that vicinity which he had
inherited from an uncle. In January, 1887, he located at Decatur, purchased
property, and, in partnership, with David T. Morgan, established a real estate
and stock brokerage business.

  E. W. Burch, Sr., was born in Georgia, came to Montgomery County, Ala., with
his parents at a very early day, and became an extensive planter. He served as
an officer of cavalry during the Creek War. He moved to Macon County, Ala.,
about 1850, and died there soon after. He was twice married, and reared six
children.

  The mother of the subject of our sketch was a daughter of Geo. W. Thompson, a
native of Georgia, and one of the pioneer settlers of Montgomery, Ala. He
surveyed that city for Colonel Dexter about 1833, and was afterward employed by
the United States Government in Louisiana.
