He became a member of company A, 7th Missouri militia, National Guard. When the war began, that company was composed mostly of southern sympathizers and at a regular meeting it was resolved to expel from its ranks all Union men. Mr. Marsh received written notice of his expulsion and pasted it on his desk, thinking it honor that his loyalty was thus noticed. That company went with the rebel Gen. Price into the Confederate army. He was then made Major of the 5th Missouri Volunteers, was present at taking of Camp Jackson and went to Springfield, Mo., under Gen. Lyon. He was then promoted to rank of Lieut. Col. and placed on Gen. Schofield's staff as Assistant Adjutant General. The "Rebellion Record" of the war shows that he was generally in charge of Gen. Schofield's headquarters office at St Louis where general orders required all correspondent to be directed to Lieut. Col. Marsh. But about the time of the battle of Pea Ridge he was at the front in Arkansas, as appears in one of Maj. Gen. Schofield's letters dated Osage Spring, Arkansas, Oct. 1, 1862; "Col. Marsh has arrived." After the war he remained at St. Louis and died there. His wife and children reside with mother in Denver, CO.
