Marah Rusli

Died in 1968

Marah Rusli was born on 7 August 1889 in Padang, the son of a Minangkabau nobleman, Sultan Abu Bakar. Educated in Dutch schools, he obtained a degree in veterinary medicine and practised that profession throughout his career, until his retirement in 1952, as chief veterinarian. In 1911, against his parents' wishes, he married a Sundanese woman born in Bogor, a conflict that marked his work; his father later condemned him by letter, and he never returned to Padang. He died in Bandung on 17 January 1968.
