John Milton Marble came to the Oregon Territory December 1, 1852, a month after his father Butler Emery. He was a blacksmith, machinist and built the Klickitat Roller Mills. Adelia (Deley) is in his will as a niece that he had raised. She was the daughter of Ansil Sylvester Marble.
The funeral of John M. Marble was held on Saturday last, at the residence, Rev. Nickelson delivering an appropriate sermon. The remains were laid away to rest at the Odd Fellow's cemetery on the hill. Mr. Marble was a very estimable man, and held in high respect by the people of this city. He had lived in the town since 1871, and had been engaged in blacksmithing and machinery work all these many years, and at the same old stand he started in at in 1871. Owing to a severe sickness he had not been able to work for the past year or two.
