Biography of DUANE BRADSHAW MARBLE:
Born at 6 A.M., at 6 lbs. on April 10, 1929, to Lawrence and Mary Marble of 427 Liberty Street, Ashland, Ohio, (source Western Union telegram and birth certificate). Four years later, Duane's sister, Sybil Annette Marble was born on June 06, 1933 in Ashland, Ashland County, Ohio. Duane's childhood experiences occurred during the Great Depression.

Raised by his step dad, Uncle Kenton Maurice Marble, Duane grew up in Carrollton, the county seat of Pickens County, Alabama. Kent and Mary took many childhood photos of Duane and Sybil. The events of WWII occurred during Duane's early teenage years. In 1947, Duane graduated from Gordo High School, Gordo, Alabama.

After their meeting, they dated on weekends of January 1950 in Edenton, North Carolina. They toured Edenton, where Thera had spent her childhood, and went to the movies and took photos.

_____________Remembering my father, Duane_____________
In his youth, Duane spent many days from dawn to dust in the swamps and woods with his cousin, Douglas Bailey. An outdoorsman, an archer, hunter, and marksman, Duane had quite a small arsenal of knifes, pistols, and rifles. His collection included: Light twelve browning automatic shotgun, Remington double barrel sawed off shotgun, 1838 38 caliber Winchester rifle, Smith & Wesson 357 magnum, Colt B 38-40 caliber pistol and others.
Duane liked poetry, music, and animals. He had written quite a few poems in his high school years. Duane played the harmonica and an accordion, which was purchased in December 1949. Duane had bought a tape recorder and recorded himself playing the harmonica. The songs include: "Jimmy Crack Corn", and "I don't want her, you can have her, she's too fat for me". Duane was a quite a whistler, and could whistle the Dean Martin song hit of the time, "Like a big Pizza Pie, that's Amoree". Another musical instrument in the Marble household was a player piano.
Duane was an animal lover, and through my (DeCody Brad) childhood, I remember many different animals occupying the Marble household: a couple of dogs, a tomcat, a parakeet named Pee Dee and a bunch of baby chicks one Easter. Duane also had a camera and an 8mm movie camera. He had made film clips of his Bailey Uncles and Aunts, his sister's family (the Pattersons), and of his wife and children at Marble Head Beach at Lake Erie.
Duane had owned a number of automobiles. In 1955, he had totally wreaked a Buick, (1950 Blue Buick Road master?) and walked away from the crash. Born in 1929, Duane born was killed in a fatal car crash April 29, 1958, nineteen days after his 29th birthday.
