T. F. MARLATT, farmer, P. O. Republic City, was born in Allegheny County, 
Pa., in 1837. At the age of fourteen years his parents located in Hamilton 
County, Ohio, near Cincinnati, where he remained until the war broke out, in 
1861, when he enlisted in the Fifty-seventh Ohio Volunteer Infantry, serving 
three years. Was discharged at East Port, Ga., in 1864. After coming out of 
the army he returned to Hamilton County Ohio. In 1870 emigrated to Kansas, 
locating in Republic County. and took a homestead on Section 31, Township 1, 
Range 4. Was among the first settlers in Washington Township. No roads, 
except the old Government trail, and sixty-five miles from any railroad. He 
has eighty-five acres under the plow, one and a quarter miles of hedge, an 
orchard consisting of ninety apple and 150 cherry trees, 3,000 cottonwood and 
other trees, new house, 24x14 feet, with ell, 14x14 feet, new granary and 
stables, and is engaged in raising stock. When the town of Republic City was 
laid out, Mr. Marlatt became one of the members of the Town Company and was 
chosen president of the same. He has thirty lots besides what he has disposed 
of; at one time sold his interest for $10 and paid $150 to get it back; the 
lots are now valued at about $500 to $600. Mr. Marlatt has done well, and 
now, instead of his farm being sixty-five miles from the railroad, is joining 
the town site and less than one mile from the station. He was married in 1859 
to Miss Julia A. KIDD, of Ohio. They have four children--C. W., W. A., 
Charles E. and Julia. Is a member of the I O. O. F., and has been Master of 
the Grange.
