Son of Julius Alfred and Martha Woods Dargan, husband of Annie Heath Hicklin.
"Rev. Marion Dargan, son of the Hon. Julius H. Dargan and Martha I. Dargan, was born in Darlington, SC, April 28th, 1857. His education began in the excellent schools of his native town, for a long time under the late Allan McP. Hamby; was continued in the Charleston High School, under Prof. V. C. Dibble, and he graduated in the Theological department of the Vanderbilt University, attending also some schools in the Literary department.
He was converted and joined the Church in boyhood. The call to the ministry rested upon his heart for years. After resisting a long while, and passing through a severe spiritual conflict, he decided to obey, and this he did with that energy and wholeheartedness characteristic of all his life work. He was licensed to preach, and supplied Lynchburg and St. Lukes in 1884. In December, 1884, he entered the South Carolina Conference. The following have been his appointments: 1885, Donalds Circuit; 1886, Santee Circuit; 1887, Orangeburg Circuit; 1888-1890, Marion Street, Columbia, SC; 1891 and 1892, Abbeville Station; 1893 to 1895, agent Columbia Female College; 1896-1898, Greenwood Station; 1899 and 1900, Presiding Elder, Florence District.
During his year in Santee Circuit there were more than one hundred additions to the Church. While on Orangeburg Circuit, the Conference collections, which had not been paid hitherto, were brought up in full, with a surplus of more than $100. At Marion Street the salary was $565, and during his pastorate was advanced to $1,000, all claims being met in full. So at Abbeville there was an increase of $250 in salary and $200 on that at Greenwood. At the latter station a large church debt was paid during his pastorate, and money for seating and furnishing the church was also raised. In addition, the children raised enough money to paint the church.
At all his appointments he had good meetings, some of remarkable power and attended with gracious results.
On March 5th, 1884, he married Annie H. Hicklin, daughter of Dr. J. W. Hicklin. of Chester County, SC. Three children were born of this union, Annie Edina, Marion, Jr. and William Hicklin.
The record shows that Brother Dargan has been a most successful preacher. And this success is not at all to be wondered at. A man of untiring energy and industry, he never knows when to stop working; a careful student and reader, he carries into the pulpit thoughtful messages, which he delivers with power. His experience is clear, his love for God and man ardent and self-sacrificing. Such men are sure to succeed." - "Twentieth century sketches of the South Carolina Conference, M.E. Church, South"
