William Marrs

MARRS, William - {from The Fayetteville Daily News, 21st inst.]

William Marrs, a veteran of the distinguished family that were among the

pioneers of Washington county, died at his home near Viney Grove yesterday

and was laid to rest to-day. In early days he went to California where he

lived until two years ago when he settled on the homestead where he passed

the evening of his long life. He was seventy-five years of age and a large

circle of friends and kindred assembled at the grave to pay the last tribute

of reverence to the memory of a brave and generous soul. [The Springdale
