On July 5, 1958, Marcus married Mary “Ann” Hennes at St. Mary’s in Oxford. A few days following their wedding, Marcus went to serve in the Korean Conflict in The US Army. Following his return from the service, Marcus drove a semi-truck for a short period, then began farming which he continued throughout his life. Marcus ended his working career at Purethane in West Branch.
In his free time, Marcus enjoyed playing softball, woodworking, fishing, gardening and tinkering at the farm, attending auctions, and most of all spending time with his family, especially his grandkids. He will be dearly missed.
