James H. MARRS 9 June 1845 - 9 Aug 1926

Another of the few remaining Federal soldiers and a specially excellent citizen 
of the county passed away in the death of Mr. James H. Marrs, which occurred at 
his home near Temple Hill Monday morning, after a lingering illness from a 
complication of diseases. Mr. Marrs was a native of Mercer County, where he 
entered the army at the beginning of the Civil War and made a fine soldier 
through the war. After his return he settled in this county, and married Mary 
Foster, who died many years ago. From this union the following children 
survive: Rev. J. R. Marrs of Campbellsville, Ky., Mr. John E. Marrs of 
Beaumont, Cal., Mrs. Richie Bacon of near Temple Hill, Mrs. Tom Grizzle of this 
place, Mrs. Lem Sartin of Muncie, IN. His second wife, who was Miss Myria 
Bacon, survives with no children. Mr. Marrs leaves one sister, Mrs. Josie 
Shepherd of Illinois. Mr. Marrs was a member of the Methodist Church and was a 
man of sterling worth and a high sense of humor. All his children except Mrs. 
Sartin attended the funeral and burial, which was held in the Peden cemetery, 
at Mr. John Peden's Tuesday morning.

Burial Peden Cemetery.
