Biographical/Historical:     Ulys Bowdoin Marsh (1919-2012) was born in Coffee County, Alabama, near the town of New Brockton. In 1923, the Marsh family moved to Leon County, Florida, and operated Marshes Dairy. After graduating from Leon High School, Marsh joined the U.S. Navy during World War II.
