The funeral of Charles A. Marvin, well known attorney of Amsterdam, and a member of the law firm of Conover & Marvin, for many years a resident of this village, who died suddenly Sunday night [30 Sep] at his home on Northampton Road, was at the house yesterday afternoon at 4 o’clock. The Rev. George M. Gordon, of Emmanuel Presbyterian Church officiated, conducting a short service, at which many members of the Amsterdam Bar Association were present. The remains were taken this morning to Elizabethtown for interment.
Mr. Marvin has been ill for two years of hardening of the arteries and dilation of the heart and had not engaged in any active work with his firm during that period.
He was born July 14, 1862, in Elizabethtown and was graduated from Union College in 1887. He was member of the Phi Delta Theta fraternity, and a Phi Beta Kappa man. During his student days he was a young manor great size and strength, a football man, and had a reputation of being a good a student as he was an athlete.
After his graduation he entered the law office of Hand, Kellogg and Hale in Elizabethtown and after about two years was admitted to the bar. He remained with the firm for five years more, after which removed to Detroit, Mich., where he was a trial lawyer with a prominent firm.
After some years in Detroit he moved to Ballston Spa, where he was assistant postmaster for a long period. Three years last May he removed to Amsterdam and became a law partner of Archie R. Conover, who was a college mate in Union. Mr. Marvin is survived by his wife, one daughter, Evelyn, of Amsterdam; two brothers, Walter M., of Elizabethtown, and Harris J., of Detroit, Mich.; and one sister, Mrs. P. A. Olcott, of Peru, N. Y.
