Beloved Nonagenarian Buried Wednesday
Thomas M. Marlow, son of John and Eliza Marlow, was born near New Florence, Missouri April 4, 1856. He passed away April 23, 1950, at the age of 94 years, 19 days.
In 1878 he was united in marriage with Rose Darnes of Readsville, Missouri, who preceded him in death in 1917. To this union four children were born: Blanche Bush of New Florence; B. M. Marlow of Mexico, Cordie Quick of Americus; and Nellie, who died in infancy.
He is survived by four grandchildren Ruth Hendershott, Rosemary Potts, Helen Van Zant and Wade Quick; five great grandchildren: Patsy and Jeanne Hendershott, John Cleary and Jacklyn Potts and Patricia Van Zant.
He united with the New Florence Methodist Church at the age of nine and has been a loyal member of the church for 85 years. While living at Montgomery City he served as a member of the Board of Stewards, also acting as Chairman of that Board for several years, giving much time and money to the work of that church. He was vitally interested in every phase of the church work. When unable to attend he was made and honorary member of the board.
He was also vitally interested in both the Eastern Star and the Masonic Lodge, having been a Mason for over 50 years A short time ago the Lodge presented him a pin in honor of the 50th Anniversary of his membership in the Lodge, of which he was very proud.
Mr. Marlow had played rather an important part in the business life of Montgomery County, first being a storekeeper and miller at Americus; later a banker at New Florence; coming to Montgomery City after World War I and organizing the Farmers and Merchants Bank here, which functioned under his presidency until the depression of the late twenties. He then went back to his old profession as miller, serving in this capacity at Prairie Milling Company until about three years ago, when his health forced him to retire. He built a home on Wents Street when he first came to Montgomery City, residing there until the death of his wife, then he sold the home to Howard Gentry.
The body had lain at Schlanker Mortuary for two days, where the veritable garden of flowers and visits of hundreds of friends bore testimony to the love and respect in their hearts for this venerable gentleman, who will indeed be missed by all; but with a sense of gratitude for the privilege of knowing and sharing experiences with him.
Funeral services were conducted at 2:00 p. m. Wednesday April 26th at New Florence Methodist Church by Pastor Rev. J.. Preston Cole, with Masons in charge of the services at New Florence Cemetery.
(Rosa Darnes was the daughter of George A. and Margaret Ann Blackburn Darnes)
