Marcus Limb kept newspaper illustrations and his own sketches in a book which I am calling his Sketch Book. A short article appeared in the Wooster Daily Record, Thursday, February 1, 1923:
Painting Pictures Is Mayor Limb’s Hobby
Coloring pictures with oil paints is Mayor M.R. Limb’s hobby. When the cares of his office can be laid aside for a few minutes and he has no appointments with dental patients, he will invariably be found at his desk, working over a picture. The walls above the desk are covered with some of the best specimens of his work. Others are in more secluded nooks.
“I’ve done this ever since I was a kid,” he admitted today. “I like it. It gives me lots of amusement that I don’t believe can be classed as harmful. I inherited this trait from my mother, and I get real enjoyment out of taking some ordinary calendar or other picture and recoloring it to suit my own tastes.”
