Norman Marsh, a former alderman of the third wave of the city of Colby, died Friday morning at 5:30 o’clock at his home in Colby, Wisconsin at the age of 49 years, a lung ailment being the cause of his death. Funeral services were held Monday afternoon at Zion Lutheran church, Rev. O. Hoffmann officiating, and internment was made in the Colby (Colby, Clark Co. Wis.) Cemetery.
