FRANK E. MARSH. This young man is a well-known grain dealer of Joliet, in 
which city he was born in 1849. Here he grew to manhood, enjoying the 
privileges of her excellent public schools, and after finishing the course in 
them, taking a term in the Chicago University. In 1868 he became ticket agent 
and telegraph operator, continuing in that position until 1874, when he 
embarked in the business which he is now following. He buys at different 
points on the line of the Elgin, Joliet & Eastern Railroad, and such success 
has attended his efforts that he has continued to carry on the trade. In 1873 
Mr. Marsh led to the hymeneal altar Miss Kate Richmond, with whom he lived 
happily until 1879, when she was called hence, leaving three children—
Richmond, Loren and Kate, the latter of whom died when two years old. In 1882 
Mr. Marsh contracted a second matrimonial alliance, the lady who now shares 
his joys and sorrows having borne the maiden name of Ida Pierce. They have one 
living child, Ralph L.; and lost a daughter, Agnes, in infancy. Mr. Marsh was 
elected Alderman in 1885, and has since been retained as a member of the City 
Council. The subject of this brief biographical notice is a son of the Hon. H. 
N. Marsh, one of the representative men of Joliet, whose life history is found 
on another page in this Album.
