Obituary from The Topeka Daily Capital (Topeka, Kansas), Tues, 06 Jan 1920
The funeral of Jonathan MARNEY, a veteran of the Civil war, who died New Year's day in a local hospital, was held Sunday in Rossville.

Mr. MARNEY enlisted when he was 19 years old. When the United States entered the world war he was unable to go on account of his age, but he was among the first to take $2,000 in liberty bonds.
He is survived by three daughters, Mrs. Nora EDWARDS of St. George; Mrs. Susan GARNETT of Hood River, Ore., and Mrs. Dora MURPHY of Lecompton; three sisters, two brothers, twenty grandchildren and three great-grandchildren.

Obituary from The Rossville Reporter (Rossville, Kansas), Thu, 08 Jan 1920, Pg 5
Jonathan Marney, aged 75 yrs, 4 months and 12 days, an old and highly respected resident of Rossville passed away last Thursday morning at St. Francis hospital, Topeka after an illness of about three weeks, the last two under treatment at the hospital. The body was brought to the home in Rossville Friday and lay in state until Sunday to await the arrival of distant relatives.
Mr. Marney was born in Missouri, August 14, 1844. He enlisted in the Missouri Militia Cavalry volunteers Feb. 22, 1862 to serve during the war and was discharged March 11, 1865, by expiration of his term of service. On July 30, 1865, he was united in marriage to Miss Elizabeth Kerns, at Kingsville, Mo. To this union seven children were born four of whom died in infancy. Mr. and Mrs. Marney came to Kansas late in 1865 and he helped in building the grade of the Union Pacific railroad from Topeka to Manhattan. He worked for about 25 years as a section hand for the railroads.
The funeral was held Sunday at 2 p.m. In the Rossville Presbyterian church conducted by the Rev. Hart. A beautiful part of the funeral ceremonies was that the members of E. R. Morton Post, N. 38 G. A. R. of Wamego, of which Mr. Marney was a member headed by the American flag the funeral procession marched from the home thru Main street to the church with the veterans leading the procession. Becuase of the great age of the veterans they gave the G. A. R. ritual ceremony at the church instead of the cemeter as is customary. The Post members participating were Chas. Hathaway, Wm. Grooms, John Witts, Howard Johnson, J. W. Tanner, Mr. Lattimore, Mr. Saunders, mr. Dronberger. Taps were sounded by Harold Stewart, Bugler. The pallbearerers were veterans of the late war, in full uniform.
The surviving relatives are the widow and three daughters, Mrs. J. W. Garrett, Hood River, Ore., Mrs. E. A. Edwards, St. George, Kan., Mrs. J. E. Murphy, LeCompton, Kan., two brothers, W. B. of Silver Lake and Jas. S. of Rossville, three sisters, Mrs. Rebecca Coffin Mayetta, Kans., Mrs. A. B. Stum, Rossville, Mrs. W. A. Stovall, Topeka, Kans., 20 grandchildren and 3 great grandchildren. The deceased was a member of the Evangelical church which he joined in 1884 at Peabody, Kansas. Out-of-town relatives besides the children were Mr. and Mrs. Homer Cumrine, St. George, Mr. and Mrs. Henry Haid, Wamego, Mr. and Mrs. Albert Garrett, LaClede, Kan., Miss Bessie Garrett, Wamego, James and John Lavens, Topeka, Mrs. John Witts, Wamego.
