URBAN S. MARRS, teacher, was born October 20, 1845, and is a native of the
county.  He is the youngest of a family of twelve children born to Urban
and Susanna (Martin) Marrs.  The father was born in Logan County, Ky.,
March 10, 1802, and followed agricultural pursuits; he left his native
State in 1809, and came to Posey County, Ind., with his parents.  On
reaching man's estate he entered eighty acres of land in Marrs Township,
where he located, and remained until his death.  He was associate judge of
the circuit court from 1845 to 1851, and was a member of the State
Legislature during 1851 and 1852, and held the office of justice of the
peace for fifteen years; he died August 28, 1875.  The mother was born
in June, 1801, in South Carolina, and died February 29, 1868.  The war of
the Rebellion broke out when our subject was but sixteen years of age,
but as he was thoroughly patriotic, November 13, 1863, he enlisted in
Company A., Tenth Indiana Cavalry, and served three years, and was in
many important engagements.  After his return home he lived with and took
care of his father, who was an invalid for a number of years.  In 1875 he
entered the teacher's profession, and has continued at that work ever
since.  In politics he is a Republican, and cast his first vote for U.S.
Grant; he is a Mason.
