It stood 64 inches tall side eject with the Hex barrel style It held 9 rounds in the Tube mag But while on a Story about Guns I was told it does not exsite and i am trying to find the make year and Model of it. Can you help Me? I would like to buy one to replace My Husbands Rifle.

I'd guess it would have likely been a Marlin Model 1893 or '93 in .30-30 Winchester. But the 64" overall length is not correct. Marlin made no models that long, and that length would be wrong for almost any cartridge gun built, regardless of maker.
Holding 9 rounds tells me it likely was the standard 26" barreled model. Here's a picture of my 1893 Marlin with 26" barrel. He can take a look and see if it matches what he recalls:
