BROADSTREET, Marion

Source: Greencastle Banner-Times 8 Oct 1891 p 4

Died in Greencastle Oct 2, 1891, Marion Broadstreet son of Quinton Broadstreet, aged 22 years 1 month 9 days.  About three years ago while attending college Marion took the measles and contracted cold which settled on his lungs from which he never recovered. After having tried the best medical skill without any benefit he was advised to try different climes which he did for nearly two years without any permanent relief, returning home on the 10th day of last April since which time he continued to grow worse until death came to his relief. He bore all his afflictions without a murmur, being perfectly resigned to meet death telling his father that he was going to meet his mother, sister and brothers in heaven. He was the idol of the family, loved and respected by all who knew him. Marion was an exemplary young man one whose example all young men would do well to imitate. It seems so hard to see one in the bloom of youth with such a promising future to be called away never more to mingle with the loved ones here but death loves a shining mark and God selects the brightest jewels for his crown. The remains were buried at Stilesville. - kbz
