diately notified of the find and many

party of Sioux City men founded the
town of Palmetto Beach, Ala, at the
foot of Mobile bay. Mr.. Marsh now

to start cemetery which would be
laid out according to northern ideas

beautiful tract of seventy-tWo acres
in the suburbs of Mobile. The ceme-
terry was named Pine Crest, and lots
sold fast from the start. Mr. Marsh
owns one-third Of the stock of the
company and receives 8 salary for
acting as manager.
So successful was Mr.. Marsh with
this first cemetery venture that he
bought another tract of land and
plated a cemetery solely for negroes.
This one he named Lincoln Park. It
consists Of fifty acres of high ground,
and every negro of prominence in the
city of Mobile Is anxious to buy fam
lily lot in this graveyard and have the
deed recorded.
In February, when a large party OF
Sioux City people made trip to
Mobile and Palmetto Beach, Mr..
Marsh, always thoughtful and courte-
Gus, contributed largely to the enter
tadnment of his old friends He
laughed heartily at the title of Gem
etery magnate" which had been given
him by the newspapers Of Mobile.
Rev. Mr. Marsh served as pastor of
the Haddock Memorial Methodist
Episcopal church in Sioux City before
going south In 1879 he was at Sioux
