The Enterprise
Afton, Iowa, Nov. 30, 1882

Mr. John Marley of Macksburg, is lying in a critical condition. He got a slight scratch on some barbed wire, about two months ago, and his blood, no doubt being in bad condition at the time, became poisoned. His brother R. Marley received a dispatch and on Tuesday morning started for Macksburg with but little hopes of getting there before the death of his brother.

Dec. 7, 1882

Mr. John H. Marley died at his residence, near Macksburg, last Saturday morning. Mr. Marley had arrived at the age of about 51 years, has been a resident of Union and the south part of Madison county for the past thirty years and was well known and highly respected by a large circle of friends. The funeral of the deceased took place on Sunday and a number of friends from Afton were in attendance.
