History of the Wyoming Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church. New York: Eaton & Mains, 1904, page 211. ________________________________________________ MARCY, N. B., was born in Tunkhannock in 1831. At the age of twenty- one he was born again under the ministrations of Rev. F. S. Chubbuck. Soon after his conversion he felt a call to the ministry, and immediately began preparation for this work. For a few years he both attended and taught school. He was given exhorter's license in 1854, and local preacher's license in 1856. In 1860 he was admitted to Wyoming Conference on trial, and ordained deacon. His first year of service was at Little Meadows, and his second begun, but never finished, on Litchfield Circuit. During the fall and early winter he was conducting a very successful series of evangelistic meetings, in the midst of which he was taken sick, and in ten days died, his death occurring in Ghent, Bradford County, Pa., on December 28, 1861. He lies in the cemetery of Forkston, Pa. In 1855, he was married to Miss Fanny E. Burgess, of Forkston, Pa., who with two children survived him.
