| 105603 | One of MARVIN's nephews (THOMAS L. STAFFORD, son of LIBBIE TOPINKA) remembers that MARVIN was great fun to be with--and famous, among other things, for his "pie stengle"(rhubarb) wine which he made in great quanties to share or give to his friends. THOMAS (Tom) recalls that when he was a young boy and occasionally visited his relatives in Iowa (from his home in Virginia), MARVIN (who was in his early 20's) would take him and several of his Iowa cousins, e.g., CHARLES EASKER, to various fairs (sokols?) near Ely. There would always be a concessionaire ready to offer money to any " local" stupid enough to get into the boxing ring and remain standing for three rounds with "his man"--obviously a professional boxer. MARVIN, after watching a few "locals" get knocked silly, would then climb into the ring (after the concessionaire raised the prize money when no one else would do so) and proceed, much to the enjoyment of him, his cousins and other spectators -- most of whom knew MARVIN-- to knock the daylights out of the "pro". MARVIN had a reputation of never picking a fight, but never losing one either. Otherwise, he was a very gentle person -- quick to help anyone who needed help. | TOPINKA, Marvin Harold (I85991)
