   A. S. Marble, of Cheney, Kan., a veteran of the Civil War, is a native of the
Empire state, having been born in Steuben county, New York, on January 25, 1842.
His parents were Sidney and Phobe (Bullock) Marble. Sidney Marble was one of
three brothers who came to the United States from Scotland at an early day. He
left New York in 1844 and located in Michigan, where he died in 1861, his wife
surviving him until 1898. The early education of A. S. Marble was obtained in
the public schools of Michigan, which he left at the age of nineteen, and went
to Champaign county, Illinois, where he was engaged in teaching school. He then
enlisted in the Tenth Illinois Cavalry, Company I, and was sent with his
regiment to Camp Butler and Quincy, Ill. From there the regiment was sent to St.
Louis, Mo., and thence to the Army of the Southwest. Mr. Marble participated in
the following engagements: The battle of Pea Ridge, Little Rock and Perry Grove.
Under his enlistment he served three years and in 1864 he re-enlisted and was
commissioned second lieutenant of Company I, Tenth Illinois Cavalry, the same
regiment he was in before. During his first term of service he enlisted as a
private and rose to the rank of corporal, then seargeant and then orderly
sergeant. During Mr. Marble's second term of service his regiment performed
scouting duty. It was at Little Rock, Ark., from there it was sent to
Louisville, Ky., thence to Nashville, Tenn., then back to northern Tennessee,
then to New Orleans and Baton Rouge, La., then back to New Orleans again and
then up the Red river to San Antonio, Tex. Mr. Marble was mustered out of the
service January 6, 1866, and went back to Michigan. He was married in 1864 to
Miss Mary E. Duncan, of Fawn River, Mich. Of this union two children were born,
Thomas S. being the only one living. Mrs. Marble died July 4, 1869, and in 1885
Mr. Marble was again married to Miss Alice J. Gott, daughter of John R. Gott, of
Farlinville, Kan. One daughter has been born of this union, who is now the wife
of Nathan B. Hern of Cheney. After his marriage to his first wife Mr. Marble
lived in Linn county, Kansas, where he was in the mercantile business for eight
years; he then removed to Wyandotte, Kan., for four years and in 1885 moved to
Cheney. He there for two years engaged in the lumber business for the Arkansas
Lumber Company, who sold out to W. M. Pond & Co., with whom Mr, Marble remained
twelve years, and has since that time been practically retired. He has built
himself a handsome residence in Cheney, where he now resides, and devotes most
of his time to the interest of lodge work. Mr. Marble is a member of Morton
Lodge, No. 258, A. F. & A. M., of the Eastern Star, the Independent Order of Odd
