JUDGE MARX LIKES
PENN, DUTCH STYLES
The Cincinnati Post some time
ago published a feature story il
lustrated with four attractive pic
tures of Judge Robert Marx’s
country home near Cincinnati.
One picture showed Herright, a
leader in the field of Pennsylva
nia Dutch carvings, fashioned with
the German eagle on top of the
pine cupboard at one end of the
living room. The blue-lined cup
board holds some of Judge Marx’s
rare collection of spatter ware
and slip ware.”
Another photo portrays the liv
ing room mantel holding a row
-of pewter plates, a pair of brass
sugar or flour scoops, gaudy Dutch
bowls and a white ironstone pitch
er filled with peonies and iris from
the owner’s much loved gardens”
A large center photo shows “A
fine old hooked rug hanging over
the mantel in the bedroom-study,
and the interesting fireplace ac
cessories include old molds, an iron
toasting rack and an ancient imple
ment used for trimming horses’
hooves. Closet doors are hidden
in the pine paneling at either side
of the fireplace.
An outdoor picture features the
screened-in porch at the back of
the house where all the land one
can see is part of Judge Mlarx’s
1200 acre farm. On brick terrace
are a grill and well-house.
The article stated that Judge
Marx is of German descent and
admires the handicraft of those
people from the Rhineland. His
country estate contains many an
tiques acquired in Pennsylvania
and Washington, D. C.
Judge Marx is in Tryon now
spending his annual fall vacation
at his pioneer log house in Gil
lette Woods which has been equip
ped with appropriate furnishings
of piorfeer days as. well as the
most modern conveniences.
The judge comes to Tryon for
horseback riding and the October
sunshine. He is constantly improv
ing his property here with numer
ous flowers and evergreens. He
has camellias blooming many
months of the year.
Besides his law duties in many
w
states Judge Marx is an authority
on traffic safety problems and tax
matters. His hobbies are numer
ous and include sailing, tennis,
swimming, travel, photography,
golf and all forms of sports in
cluding gymnastics which he en
joys in the Y. M. C. A. His few
weeks in Tryon twice a year are
taken up mostly in horseback rid
ing, taking pictures of beautiful
scenes to show his friends, and
growing flowers on his Gillette

an outdoor grill for picnics.
With all his thousands of inter
esting things collected in Tryon,
Cincinnati and his summer place
on the lake, he tries to share his
pleasures with his numerous
friends. .
