Hugh B. Marsh
Hugh Browning Marsh (September 20, 1900 – December 27, 1976) was a lawyer who served as Commonwealth's Attorney for Fairfax County from 1944 to 1955 and as an assistant trial justice from 1940 to 1943.
Marsh was a native of Charlottesville, Virginia. He graduated from the University of Virginia Law School in 1924.[1]
On March 16, 1944, in his first official act as Circuit Court Judge, Paul E. Brown appointed Marsh to succeed him as Commonwealth's Attorney.[2]
Marsh was unopposed in the election of November 4, 1947.
Marsh fended off a challenge by Ernest N. Hudgins in the Democratic primary of August 7, 1951.[3] He was again unopposed in the election of November 6.
Because the post of Commonwealth's Attorney is not a profitable one, Marsh resigned on December 6, 1954, seeking to "improve his financial status".[4] He became a name partner in the firm of Richardson, McCandlish, Lillard & Van Dyck, which became Richardson, McCandlish, Lillard, Marsh & Van Dyck.[5]
