Misc. Notes
This source showed his birth date as 2 May 1900.
90____________
His name apparently has been listed by census takers possibly in 1900 or 1910 as “Marel.” I believe this was an error on the part of the census taker as he has never heard, or seen his name in print, as anything but “Marlie.”.
93____________
In 1900, Marlie is listed in the home of his parents.
94____________
In the 1920 U.S. Federal Census Marlie is listed as a nineteen year old brickyard laborer. [Apparently he worked in the brickyards most of his life. See his mother Jane’s notes regarding more on this census].
91____________
Resident of Penn Township, Lumber City Borough, Clearfield, PA in February 1920.

95Resident of Lawrence Township, Clearfield, Clearfield, PA in 1930.
96Resident of Curwensville, Clearfield, PA circa 1955 (possibly earlier).
97____________
Marlie received a salary of $800 during the year 1939.
92____________
Marlie joined the civil service in late 1943 or early 1944 and was sent to the Hawaiian Islands.
49____________
Some time after World War Two, Marlie's step-son Eli Lines got him a job at the R.C.A. Rubber Company in Akron, OH where Eli worked.
19____________
Marlie worked for the Harbison-Walker Refractories fire brick plant near his home in Curwensville, PA, retiring from the company in 1963. I knew Marlie as a young boy and into my teens. He was always busy and because of my grandmother’s health took care of the housework and cooking. He was always making coffee and preparing meals on his wood-fueled stove. When my mother and I would visit he was always anxious to serve coffee and to fix up something to eat, whether we were hungry or not. He was a kind man and was among the most decent men I've ever known and a good husband to my grandmother, Nora Agnes Wertz.
97 ____________
His brother Percy also retired from Harbison-Walker Refractories.
3____________
Marlie was survived by seven grandchildren, eleven great-grandchildren and one great-great-grandson. He was preceded in death by five brothers and three sisters.
