SOUNDED FOR P. J. MARRS Officer
in Confederate Army under Adam Johnson Expires Last Night Captain Paul
J. MARRS, one of Henderson’s best known residents, died at his home
on Ceneter Street Monday night at 10:30 at the age of 86. For more than
a quarter of a century he was the superintendent of the Henderson Cotton
Mills, only retiring when physical disability made that imperative.
Since then he has lived in the quiet of his declining years in
his Center Street home. He was a Confederate
Veteran, serving through the war with Adam Rankin JOHNSON’S partisan
rangers, and only three years the junior of his beloved chieftan, survived
him less than a year. General JOHNSON dying in his Texas home last fall. Captain MARRS
is survived by two daughters, Misses Julia and Mary MARRS,
both living at home. Funeral arrangements
had not been completed when the Gleaner went to press, but will probably
be some time Wednesday. The
