WILLIAM MARBLE was born in Marion, Crittenden county, Kentucky, September
8, 1848.  During his early childhood he accompanied his parents to
Chicago and attended its public schools from 1858 to 1864.  He was also
instructed by Mr. Balentine, a private tutor.  He read law in the office
of his father from October, 1865, until May, 1868, at which time he
obtained a license to practice, having secured by special act of the
legislature permission to be examined for the bar, as he was not then
twenty years of age.  Upon his admission he entered into partnership with
his father, a relation which was maintained up to the time of the latter's
death.  He has since been alone and engaged in both civil and criminal
law practice.  When only twenty-one years of age he served as city judge,
and for eight years he has filled the office of county attorney.  He
appears in most of the important cases in the county and in many of those
of the fourth judicial circuit.
     On the 18th of February, 1885, Mr. Marble was married to Miss Anna
Henry, a daughter of C. B. and Angeline (Peters) Henry.  Her mother was
descended from one of the old Pennsylvania families of Quaker stock and
was a sister of B. J. Peters, chief justice, for many years on the bench
of the court of appeals of Kentucky.  Mr. Marble is a Democrat, but takes
no very active part in political affairs.
