Marlow appeared before R. W. McClaughry, the Hancock County Clerk, on December 3, 1867, and signed an affidavit which attested that both he and Miss Mary Hamilton were of legal age to marry.  A license was issued and on December 5, D. S. Main, Minister of the M. E. Church, pronounced them man and wife.  Marriage License  (57k)

Mary Elizabeth Hamilton was born in Indiana, perhaps Ripley County, on June 15, 1848.  She was the daughter of George W. Hamilton and Polly A. Owings.

With the exception of their youngest child, George Victor, all of Marlow's and Mary's children were probably born in Hancock Township, where the family resided until about 1887 according to the obituary of son Charles.  They then relocated to Yellow Springs Township, Des Moines County, Iowa, near the village of Kossuth.  Des Moines County is across the Mississippi River and due west of Henderson County, Illinois, due north of Hancock County, Illinois.

Marlow died April 7, 1922, probably in Mediapolis, Des Moines County, and was buried at Kossuth Cemetery, located in Yellow Springs Township.

Mary died November 6, 1928, and was also interred at Kossuth Cemetery.
