It’s time once again for #FlashbackFriday with the Whitewater Historical Society. Tomorrow is Valentine’s Day and we are featuring another long-married couple from Whitewater History. This is a 1923 photo of George and Rebecca Marsh who were married for 54 years. George Marsh was the son of Sanger Marsh, founder of the First National Bank. After working in his father’s bank, George became Cashier, then later, President of the Citizens State Bank. These banks merged in the 1930s as the First Citizens State Bank, still operating today. In May of 1928, George and Rebecca celebrated their 54th wedding anniversary, then both died within weeks of each other in November and December of 1928. A true-life love story!

Join us next week for more from the Whitewater Historical Society.
