REV. J. M. MARSTERS 
Well Known Retired Clergyman, a Native 
of Manchester, Passed Away in 
Cambridge This Week 
The Rev. John Marshall Marsters, 
a native of Manchester, and always a 
familiar figure at the Elder Brethren 
gatherings here, passed away early 
last Sunday morning at his home in 
Cambridge. He had been confined 
to his home for the past five weeks. 
His age was 79 years, 11 months, 19 
days. 
Coming so soon after the death of 
one of its originators, the late Hon. 
Wm. H. Tappan, his demise will be 
felt particularly by the members of 
the Elder Brethren. He always tried 
to attend these gatherings and when 
present he always enlivened the occa- 
sion by his humorous remarks and 
pleasant reminiscences. 
The Rev. Mr. Marsters was the 
son of Capt. Andrewand Lucy (Wood- 
bury) Marsters, and was born in Man- 
chester, Feb. 8, 1827. He, a_ brother 
and sister became students in Hamp- 
ton Falls Academy, and he was also 
for a short time in New Hampton 
Academy. 
He graduated at Harvard as vale- 
dictorian of the class of 1847, the salu- 
tatorian of the same class being the 
Rev. Charles Lowe, whose sister, 
Maria, Mr. Marsters later married. 
He attended the Harvard law school 
and entered the office of Rufus Choate 
of Boston. ; 
He was chosen secretary of the 
state committee of the Whig party, 
and one of his memories was a tour of 
NORTH SHORE BREEZE 
stump speaking he made with Daniel 
Webster. 
After his graduation from the law 
school he entered the Harvard divin- 
ity school, at the same period acting 
as a tutor in elocution and an assis- 
tant professor of both elocution and 
history at Harvard. His first pastor- 
ate was over the Unitarian church at 
Woburn, and later he became pastor 
of the Unitarian church at North 
Cambridge, which he served for 10 
years. 
In 1868 failing heaith compelled him 
to relinquish the pastorate, against 
the protests of his people, and since 
that time he has preached very little, 
although retaining a most active inter- 
est in his denomination. 
As one of the older graduates of 
Harvard, Mr. Marsters’ face had _be- 
come familiar at all recent commence- 
ments. For many years his summer 
home had been at Marblehead Neck, 
where he was well known. 
Mr. Marsters was a prodigous read- 
er, especially along philosophical lines, 
and had a most intense interest in 
current events, which he always con- 
sidered from the standpoint of philo- 
sophical history. 
Heis survived by a widow and one 
daughter, Miss Georgie Marsters of 
Cambridge.
