Richard was born in Dublin, Ireland. We believe his middle intiials stand for Laurence, probably after his mother's father Laurence Murphy and Samuel, we are not sure where this comes from. Richard was six when he immigrated to the US. He grew up in New Orleans and Pass Christian. One of his first jobs was that of a cooper (barrel maker) on a plantation. It was a physically tough job. He worked as a porter in one of the New Orleans hotels before going into the grocery business. He invested in land deals with his brother James of San Antonio and may have had a stake in the silver mines of Mexico with the rest of his family. His first wife was Selina (Celina) Blair who died young of what appears to have been the yellow fever epidemic of 1867, she was laid to rest in the Marmion Tomb at Pass Christian. Richard's second wife was Ellen ? died after just a few short years of marriage most likely in childbirth. Third wife Elizabeth Kennedy married Richard shortly after Ellen died and after the birth of their first child together, a son, he committed suicide. Sadly that infant son Richard EdwardMarmion died a very young man as well, having contracted TB. The sons of Richard Edward Marmion is the only line of this family to survive. His two daughters never married and lived at Pass Christian, MS. |
