John Marsh (minister)
John Marsh (April 2, 1788-August 4, 1868) was an American minister and temperance advocate
Marsh was born, April 2, 1788, in Wethersfield, Conn., where his father, John Marsh, D.D., was for forty-seven years pastor of the First Congregational Church. His mother was Ann, daughter of Capt. Ebenezer Grant, of East Windsor, Conn. His eldest brother, Ebenezer Grant Marsh, died in 1803, when Tutor and Professor-elect of Languages of Yale College. When only ten years old, John Marsh, Jr., became a pupil of Rev. Dr Azel Backus of Bethlehem, Conn.; at twelve he entered Yale, and graduated at sixteen in 1804. After teaching for some years, he began to preach at the age of twenty-one. On the 16th of Dec, 1818, he was ordained pastor of the Congregational Church in Haddam, Conn, where he remained until April 1, 1833. While there he prepared and published an ''Epitome of Ecclesiastical History'', designed for the young, of which sixteen editions have been printed. He early interested himself in the cause of temperance, and by speeches and publications contributed largely to the spread of temperance doctrines in Connecticut. In May, 1829, the Connecticut Temperance Society was organized, and Mr. Marsh appointed Secretary and General Agent. In the winter of 1831-2, he spent three months in Baltimore and Washington in behalf of the cause, and in 1833 was invited to leave his pastoral charge in order to act as agent of the American Temperance Society. In consequence he removed to Philadelphia, where he resided until 1838. In Oct., 1836, he became Secretary of the re-organized American Temperance Union and Editor of its new monthly ''Journal of the American Temperance Union'', and continued to be thus employed until 1865, when a new organization took the place of the old, and the ''Journal'' was discontinued. The office of the Society was removed to New York City, in 1837. In 1846 he visited Europe, as a delegate to the World's Temperance Convention at London. The degree of D D. was conferred upon him by Jefferson College, Pa., in 1852. Besides his labors as Editor and Secretary, his publications and addresses on the subject of Temperance were very numerous the most extensive being his ''Temperance Recollections'', ''an Autobiography'' (N. Y., 373 pp. 12 mo.), published in 1866. The week before his last illness Dr. Marsh undertook an agency for completing the funds necessary to the erection of a building for the Theological Department of Yale College. On July 30, 1868, he fell into an unconscious state, from which he awoke the next day paralyzed. With little suffering he lingered until Aug. 4, when he died at his house in Brooklyn, N. Y., aged eighty years and four months. His wife, a daughter of Lt Gov. Tallmadge of N. Y., died in 1852 ; two sons and three daughters survived him.
