Children

General Notes: Husband - William C. Marshall


He received his education in the common schools and at Glade Run Academy. He was the youngest of his father's large family, and he and his sister Jane, who was the eldest, remained at home with their parents. In time he became the owner of his father's place in Cowanshannock township, near Bryan, a tract of about two hundred acres divided into three parts. Here he lived and worked until 1901, in which year he removed to the borough of Dayton and bought the home which he continued to occupy until his death. He sold his farm. Mr. Marshall was one of the most esteemed citizens of his section. He served several years as supervisor of his township, and was an active member of the Glade Run Presbyterian Church, of which he was elected elder, but he declined the honor with characteristic modesty, declaring himself unworthy of it. His neighbors and friends, however, did not agree with him. The Glade Run church is about five miles from the Marshall homestead, and Mr. Marshall walked the distance to attend services many a Sabbath day.
He was a Republican in politics, and during the Civil war he was a stanch supporter of the Union, being mustered into the State volunteer service Sept. 16, 1862, as a member of Company G, 22d Regiment, called into service by the governor for the defense of the State.
