Died Nov. 11, 1908, at the family residence, South Eighth street, Albert Marney, aged 72 years 8 months and 21 days. The decedent is survived by his wife, Mrs. Alicia Marney; three sons, Frank E. Marney of the editorial staff of the Chicago Record-Herald, George W. Marney of the editorial staff of The State Journal, and Albert Marney, jr., employed at T. W. Allen's tobacco store, and two daughters, the Misses Margaret and Amena Marney, living at home.
Mr. Marney had been critically ill three days. He suffered a severe attack of vertigo several weeks ago and for a time was in a serious condition. Later a material improvement was apparent and no further alarming symptoms developed until last Sunday evening when another seizure, more violent than the first, attacked him. From that hour it was apparent that the end was near. SInking spells followed close upon each other and the attending physicians were unable to cope with the ravages the insidious disease had made in the victim's strength before the collapse occurred. Dissolution came peacefully, with all the members of the family about the bedside. The decedent's son, Frank E. Marney, was summoned from Chicago immediately after the attack last Sunday night and had been at home since Monday morning.
A soldier of the Civil war and a veteran locomotive engineer. Mr. Marney enjoyed an extensive acquaintance. He was engaged in railroad work at Aurora when the Civil war broke out and enlisted in Company E of the Eighty-ninth infantry, known as the "railroad regiment," because of the number of railroad men in its ranks.
When the war ended Mr. Marney returned to railroad work. For twenty-three years he was a trusted employe of the Wabash Railroad company in the capacity of engineer. After several years on the road he was made traveling engineer, but the excitement of the regular run was more to his liking and he gave up this position to resume a passenger run. He ran trains on both ends of the line out of Springfield until 1890, when he retired from active service, with a long career of honorable service to his credit.
Since laying aside the cares and responsibilities of railroad life, Mr Marney engaged in no active vocation, but enjoyed the fruits of past years of faithful endeavor. He was a member of old Division No. 23 of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers until that body dissolved after the memorable Wabash strike of 1894, when he was made a retired member of the order.
Mr. Marney was born in Rouse Point, N. Y., February 22, 1835, and came to Illinois when 23 years old, settling at Aurora.
Funeral services will be held tomorrow morning at the residence and at the Church of the Immaculate Conception. The interment will be made in Calvary cemetery.
