Biography

Bouley: "He received his early education in the public schools of Worcester, and at the age of eighteen became apprenticed as a machinist in the family owned business, the Curtis & Marble Machine Company. He worked his way up to superintendent in 1889, a director, corporation clerk in 1911, general superintendent in 1925, vice-president in 1938, and president of the company from 1941 to 1955 when he was named chairman of the board of directors. He was also a director of the Fremont Casting Company and vice-president from 1941 on. Mr. Marble was a member of the Worcester Art Museum, Worcester Natural History Society, and the Masonic order. He was also a member of the Early American Glass Club, his valuable collection of antique glass cups and plates now being in the possession of the Worcester Historical Society. He resided at 23 Beaver Street until 1930, when he moved to 8 Berwick Street, where he died in 1955."¹

JWH: "Served three years in the Civl War; was taken prisoner and confined in Libby prison. When liberated his hair had turned as white as that of a man eighty years of age. While a prisoner he cultivated a few hills of corn in one corner of the prison yard, and when paroled he cut up some of the leaves, a piece of which he gave me and which I preserved and gave to Rev. H. L. Houghton, together with a description which I had printed in our home paper."²

Note

He was a cabinetmaker before enlisting in the Civil War. He enlisted in August 1861 and served three years as a Sergeant in the 106th Infantry Regiment, Company F, and took part in the battle at Gettysburg.

He died in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma and his body was returned to Pennsylvania for interment. John and Fanny had six children, most of them are buried here in Oklahoma City.

Note

Elmer was the first of John and Fanny's children to move to Oklahoma City when it was still just a frontier town. He opened a restaurant and ultimately he served as a Republican councilman. When he died, his body was returned to Pennsylvania for interment. To my knowledge, Elmer never married. He died on June 12, 1913 and in his latter years, he and his unmarried sister had lived together. Elmer served as a Private in Company M, lst Regiment, in the Philippines in the Spanish-American War.³
