DR. ARTHUR MARSDEN Dr. Arthur Marsden, son of Mr. and Mrs.
Henry Marsden, was born on Albion Prairie, May 15, 1869,
passed to the great beyound August 31, 1916, at the age of 47
years, 3 months and 16 days. Dr. Marsden spent his youth on
his father's farm. In 1886 he came to Edgerton with the
family. He graduated from high school in 1891. Then choosing
the medical profession, he spent three years at Rush Medical
College, after which he spent two years in hospital work in
St. Louis and in the study of pharmacy. He finished his course
in 1896 and soon after located in Rio. In 1902 he was married
to Birdie Pease. Both Mr. and Mrs. Marsden were very active in
the social life of the community and made many friends. The
Dr. was a great reader. He sang for years in a male quartet.
Dr. Marsden was a very successful physician and lost few
cases. He was tireless in his devotion to his patients, and
never spared himself either night or day. For several years he
had been troubled by spells of dizziness. These were gradually
becoming more frequent, more serious, until the end came
suddenly. He leaves to mourn him, his devoted wife, his loving
mother, Mrs. Henry Marsden, his sister, Mrs. J.W. Conn, his
brother Marvin, and a brother Charles, who lives in Mitchell,
South Dakota, besides a large circle of friends and relatives.
Dr. Marsden was a member of the Masonic order, the Modern
Woodsmen, the Equitable Fraternal Union and the Royal
Neighbors. Funeral services were held from his home in Rio
Saturday morning, after which the remains were brought to
Edgerton for interment. The esteem in which Dr. Marsden was
held in Rio was testified to by the fact that twenty-five of
his friends accompanied the funeral party to Portage, and by
the fact that twenty people from Rio  made the 55 mile journey
to Edgerton to attend the funeral services which were held
from his mother's home at 2 o'clock on Sunday afternoon.
Interment was made in the Albion Prairie cemetery. THe
sympathy of the community goes out to the bereaved relatives.
