Grace Marmaduke Sharp provides the following:
"John S. Marmaduke was born near Arrow Rock, March 14, 1833. He diedin Jefferson City December 28,1887, while Governor of the State. Hehad spen two years in Yale University, and one in Harvard, and wasappointed to the United States Military Academy from which hegraduated in 1854.
It is of interest to point out that he and General Fitz Hugh Lee werein West Point together; were in the Confederate Army together; wereGovernors at the same time, one in Missouri and the other in Virginia,and were close friends. The following information is from the MissouriState Historical Society Record, also, National Encyclopedia ofAmerican Biography:
'General John S> Marmaduke served with (the then) Colonel ALbertSidney Johnson in frontier days in the first United States MountedRiflemen; and was with the 7th United States Cavalry in New Mexico atthe outbreak of the War.' Like General Lee, he, as a United Statesofficer was called upon for a hard decision: 'His sympathies were withthe Sout, while his father adhered to the Union. The sterlingqualities of the man are duly emphasized by his prompt and finaldecision. Upon reaching home he went to his father for advice, whosaid: 'John, there will be but one result; you will be sacrificed.Seccession will fail. Slavery will be abolished. But you must decidefor yourself. Follow your convictions.'
John S. Marmaduke resigned his commission and joined a company of theState Guards of Missouri, of which he became Colonel. Later, he andhis uncle, Governor Claiborne Jackson, did not agree upon certainmilitary plans, and John resigned that commission and went toRichmond, offering his services to the Confederacy. He wascommissioned Lieut. - Colonel and assigned to the staff of GeneralWilliam J. Hardee, in SOuthern Missour and Arkansas. He was placed incommand of the Third Confederate Infantry, and was in the battles ofBowling Green, Ft. Donelson, Corinth and Shiloh.
In the last battle he was wounded, and while in the hospital, he wascommissioned Brigadier General, for his remakable bravery at Shiloh.Before that battle, General ALbert Sidney Johnston rode before thetroops, giving encouragement. When he reached Marmaduke he halted,rode up to him, and grasping his hand witht he feeling of comradeshipwhich one intrepid spirit feels for another said, 'Marmaduke, I knowyou will do your duty.' Spce here will not permit a recital of hisentire career; from October 24th to August 1865, he was imprisoned inFort Warren.
After the war, he went to Europe, and later engaged in business in St.Louis. In succeeding years he was part owner of the Journal ofCommerce, and established the St. Louis Evening Journal. He thenbecame Secretary of the Missouri Board of Agriculture; was StateRailraoad Commissioner, and in 1884 was elected Governor. He was theonly Governor of the State whose father was also Governor.'
Space does not permith the records of his contructive work in theChair. 'He has been spoken of as the Chief Executive of theCommonwealth who, midst troublous times, signalized his administrationas one of the best the State has ever had. He was a man of the highestcourage and unbending integrity -. In the great Confederate memorialat Stone Mountain he is represented. He never married. He is buried inJefferson City, where the State has erected a large shaft of redmarble. At the base is the line: 'HE WAS FEARLESS AND INCORRUPTIBLE.'"
