-Died, Feb. 12th, at her son's residence in Perrysburg, N.Y., Mrs. Badorah Marble Marsh. The deceased was born in Cassanovia, Monroe Co., N. Y., April 5th, 1805. She married Hart Lee Marsh in 1822. At an early age she was converted, and has been a consistent member of the church 65 years. She was kind and generous always and ready to lend a helping hand to the needy, and freely gave to the Master's cause. Unless illness preventing she was always found in her place at divine worship. For the past two years she has been a great sufferer, and was confined to the house; and often said she was ready and willing whenever the summons came. She is the last member of a large family. She came to the town of Perrysburg with her husband sixty years ago, and was one of the pioneers of Parkertown. They settled and cleared the farm adjoining the old high bridge. She was the mother of eight children, six of whom are living to mourn her loss: Daniel Marsh of Valley Junction, Wis.; Mrs. Amos Clark of Truxton, Mo.; Nathan Marsh, of Perrysburg; Mrs. H. J. Newton and Mrs. A. C. Fuller of Silver Creek; Mrs. H. Newton of Buffalo; also numerous descendents consisting of ?? grand children, 33 great-grand-chiidren, and 1 great-great-grand-child."
