Died: Emily J. Marble, February 20, 1891 at the Lighthouse, Cape Mendocino. Buried at Myrtle Grove cemetery, Eureka. Age, about 47 years, born in India. Husband, Captain A. P. Marble.
Captain A. P. Marble, Keeper of the Mendocino Lighthouse, was in this city Sunday & from his happy & expectant look it was surmised that something momentous was about to happen. All was explained when Miss Louise Harding stepped off the "Humboldt" on the arrival of the vessel Sunday & it was announced that the lady would soon become Mrs. Marble & sure enough yesterday the Captain said the lady in question, having visited County Clerk Stern, repaired to the parsonage of St Bernard's Catholic church & were made one by Rev. Father Meagher. The happy couple left shortly afterwards for their home at Capetown, where the well wished of the "Times" for their future happiness follows them.
MARRIED: MARBLE-HARDING...In Eureka, August 24, 1891 by Rev. Father Meagher, A. P. Marble of Cape Mendocino & Louise Harding of San Francisco.
Listed on the passenger list of the steamer "Los Angeles": Mrs. A. P. Marble.
From all appearances it would seem that Captain Marble's very recent attempt at a voyage upon the matrimonial seas was an ill-starred venture. The blissful honeymoon was unfortunately destined to exist only nine days, & the blooming young bride has gathered up her grips & tried herself back to the busy thoroughfares of the Golden Gate city. Cheer up, Captain; adversity is something we must all experience at least once in a lifetime.
Captain A. P. Marble has decided to leave Humboldt County & as of November 1, 1891 he has resigned his post as principal keeper of Cape Mendocino lighthouse.
A. P. Marble has decided to locate in Eureka.
Captain Marble & sons departed for Eureka Monday, the Captain having turned the Cape Mendocino lighthouse over to his successor, Captain Price.
MARRIED.... In Eureka, July 14, 1897, A. P. Marble of Eureka & Mrs. Gertrude C. Thayer, late of Indiana. Archibald P. Marble was made happy for the fourth time yesterday morning, when the steamer "Pomona" arrived, bringing Mrs. Gertrude C. Thayer, late of Indiana, who last evening changed her name to Marble in the presence of a few intimate friends. The ceremony was performed at his residence, 432 Hawthorne Street, Rev. J. P. McCauley officiating. Mr. & Mrs. H. N. Nichols stood up with the happy couple. After the knot was tied all sat down to a sumptuous supper prepared by the groom.
Mrs. A. P. Marble, lately married, has departed from Eureka from Eureka for good. Mr. Marble still remains at the county seat. This we believe was his fourth venture on the matrimonial sea.
