About

One of the fourteen pioneers from the East Coast who helped settle and found the small mountain town of South Park in 1867, Great Grandpa Marsh lived to a ripe old age and committed assisted suicide with the help of his grandson, Marvin Marsh. When his elderly grandson tried to get his own grandson's help, Death tapped Great Grandpa's Ghost to communicate with his grandson and apologize for putting him into such a position. His memory has since been invoked by his great-grandson Jimbo Kern in defending the town's racist flag.
