General Notes: Husband - Albert Gallatin Marchand

---

At an early age he was assistant to his father in the prothonotary's office. He was admitted to the bar in 1833 and practiced that profession until his death. In 1840, as a Democrat, he was sent to congress, being then in his twenty-eighth year, and was re-elected in 1842.

Albert Gallatin Marchand was born Feb. 26, 1811, and died Feb. 5, 1848, in the thirty-seventh year of his age. The disease of which he died made itself known but a few months before his death, but it had been secretly undermining his constitution for a long time prior to that.
At a very early age he went into the prothonotary's office as an assistant to his father, Dr. David Marchand. He even then displayed remarkable business talents; but the urbanity and politeness of his manner, his obliging and kind and courteous disposition, always manifesting itself towards those who were brought into business intercourse with him, secured for him the admiration, confidence, and esteem of the foremost business men and litigants of the county.
He came to the bar in 1833, and when he did so he at once succeeded to a much larger practice than is usual with beginners in this profession. This continued until his death.
To this profession he devoted very respectable legal talents, considerable learning, great zeal, and untiring industry. No man's cause was left in his hands without receiving the carefullest and most critical attention, and when it was necessary to carry it to the bar he was assiduous in his preparation, and there advocated or defended with manly zeal and vigorous eloquence. His intercourse with members of the bar was characterized with scrupulous integrity, a high sense of honor, and a candid frankness; and these traits were evidenced in his intercourse with his fellow-men generally. He thus attained, for one of his age, a very high eminence in those qualities that confer dignity and honor on his profession. The clients who intrusted business to him had all confidence that everything would be done for them. His integrity was beyond a question, and his word as good as his bond.
He was early and sincerely attached to his party, the Democratic, and his fellow-citizens recognizing his worth, early conferred upon him honorable office. In 1840, when in his twenty-eighth year, he was elected to Congress in the district composed of Westmoreland and Indiana Counties. When he first took his seat, during the administration of Harrison, he was the youngest member except one. In 1842 he was elected for another term.
He possessed those strong traits of character very prominent in his family, a love for home and for the domestic circle, and preferred the endearments of wife and children and of devoted relations above the loud voice of popular applause.
His loss was deeply felt, for when one so young, so talented, so honored, and so beloved, a patriot so ardent and a friend so true as he was thus so suddenly called away from the circle in which he moved, the hearts of all were clouded with grief, and with these his memory was long sacredly treasured.
