TOM MARLIN.
    Tom Marlin, attorney at law of El Dorado, practicing as a member of the law
firm of Marsh & Marlin, is regarded as one of the representative lawyers of
southern Arkansas, his constantly developing powers in the field of his chosen
profession bringing him to a most creditable position in his chosen calling. Mr.
Marlin is a native of Tennessee, his birth having occurred in Marshall county,
September 17, 1889, his parents being Benjamin S. and Ellen (Osteen) Marlin, who
were also natives of Tennessee and at the time of their marriage they removed to
a farm given them by the father of Mrs. Marlin. On this they resided to the time
of the death of Benjamin S. Marlin, on the 9th of May, 1921. The mother still
makes her home on that place.

    Tom Marlin was educated in the public schools of Chapel Hill, Tennessee, and
in a preparatory school at that place, after which he entered Cumberland
University and later became a student in Lebanon University, from which he was
graduated with the class of 1916, at which time the LL. B. degree was conferred
upon him.

    On the 13th of May of the following year, Mr. Marlin entered the first
Officers' Training Camp at Fort Logan H. Roots, Arkansas, and was commissioned a
second lieutenant on the 15th of August, 1917. Later he was assigned to duty at
Camp Pike, where he remained until receiving his discharge on the 11th of
September, 1919. In 1918 he was promoted to the rank of first lieutenant.

    Following his discharge Mr. Marlin returned to the Cumberland University,
where he did some review and postgraduate work and in January, 1920, he removed
to El Dorado, where he entered the law office of Neill C. Marsh. Three months
later he was admitted to partnership with Mr. Marsh and the law firm of Marsh &
Marlin ranks among the most prominent in southern Arkansas. Mr. Marlin is a
young man of marked capability and much promise. Studious, energetic and
determined he possesses the qualities so essential to the attainment of success
at the bar.

    Mr. Marlin is a valued member of El Dorado Lodge, No. 1129, B. P. O. E., and
also belongs to the Greek letter fraternity, the Delta Sigma Phi. He is now
serving as one of the directors of the Chamber of Commerce and his active work
in that organization indicates his deep interest in the welfare and progress of
his community. His religious faith is that of the Methodist Episcopal church,
South.
