Century Memorial
The name of Francis F. Marbury will recall one who, in his prime, was the embodiment of the perfect clubman, a well-known and respected lawyer, who enjoyed to the fullest extent his associations here; who loved books, the company of his friends, the cozy corner by the fire, and whose fund of information, genial presence and store of wit made him a welcome addition to any circle within our walls. Notwithstanding the weight of years, failing health and continued bereavement, the cheerfulness of his nature was never clouded, and the old-time sparkle was apparent even at the time of his last visit to The Century, which he loved so well.
