After the 1906 earthquake in San Francisco Harry Marlin traveled there from Pennsylvania to help in the cleanup of the city. He was a supervisor for the Philadelphia Gas Works. He and a coworker were severely burnt in a gas explosion and cave-in of the trench they were working on about 1932. It took months for him to recover at his home on Hulmeville Avenue in Langhorne Manor, PA. He lived in a variety of places in Philadelphia when younger, then in Bucks County for many years and for several years in Cecil, NJ where he had a home nestled in the pines and a small stream behind the house.
Harry was a taciturn man, a pipe smoker who loved horses and reading the newspaper, but not the funnies ("a waste of time"). He was a good provider for his family, honest and modest. He died at the home of his son John C. Marlin at 1021 Honeysuckle Ave, Parkland, Bucks County, PA at the age of 92.
