Virgil Marion was born on a farm west of Coleridge on Sunday, Feb. 28, 1926, to Marion J. and Emma (Rath) Bayne. He was baptized and confirmed into the Immanuel Lutheran faith as a child. Virgil attended the Pearl Creek School and then graduated from Coleridge High School in 1944.
Virgil entered the U.S. Army and served from 1945 to 1947. After being honorably discharged, he moved home and married Velda Grace Dooley on Dec. 14, 1947, in Coleridge. To this union, five children were born: Virgil Jr., Randall, Marilyn, Sheryl and Sharon.
Virgil and Velda farmed several farm places in the Coleridge area before settling into town on Jan. 1, 1975. Virgil worked for the Coleridge Elevator for 25 years and for the Coleridge Dehy Plant for nine years.
