What a wonderful name. I had first heard this last name as the one that the man who 'discovered' the ax incorporated into the History Museum in Huron, SD. The ax is believed to be used by both William Daugherty (the father of William Henry) and Abraham Lincoln. As there are several stories concerning the Daugherty/Lincoln family, I'm sure there is some truth to this finding. Abe's initials and William's initials are both engraved in the handle. I'm not sure how this Mr. Marvel relates to Eddie. The Hazel Cavenee described in the below obituary is the daughter of Pearl Wilson Cavenee, sister of my ggrandmother Rosetta Wilson Carrington.
This is from a Nov.10, 1981 Newspaper.
"Eddie (Pat) Marvel, 69, of 1500 Fourth St. SW, died Tues morning at Huron Regional Medical Center (SD). The funeral will be held at 2 p.m. Thursday at Brooks Memorial Chapel with Loftus H. Ward officiating. Burial will be in Restlawn Memory Gardens. Friends may call Wed. afternoon and evening at the chapel.
