MARION S. ANTONY



The subject of this sketch is a citizen of Ward Two, and is now serving as

constable of that ward.  His grandfather was Christopher Antony, a pioneer of

the Negreet community who came to this country in 1822 from Virginia by way of

Kentucky and Texas.  Christopher's father was Martin Antony, who was a native

of Germany, and he and is eldest son, Jacob, were soldiers in the American

army during the revolutionary war.  William M. Antony, father of Marion S.,

was born at Negreet in 1827, being the eldest of a family of eight sons and

two daughters, and in 1851 was married to Mary Alice, daughter of Aaron L. and

Penelope Neil, to which union were born ten children, those now living being

Thomas R., George C., Marion S., Charles W. and Mary E., wife of J. C. Salter. 

William M. Antony served his country in the war between the states, and his

parish in various civil capacities and was a well to do and esteemed citizen.
