General Notes: Husband - Hon. James Marshall
He received the education afforded by the public schools of those days; but, unsatisfied with the limited advantages, set himself to study and acquired good, practical knowledge, being unusually strong in mathematics and penmanship. He early became a school-teacher and so valuable were his teachings and manner that for twenty-four years he occupied such office, and among the number of his pupils was the young lady who became his wife.
One of the strong men intellectually and morally, he wielded corresponding influence. From the very birth of the Republican party he became its earnest believer and active supporter and was upon several occasions honored with more than the party vote for place. In 1851 he was elected associate judge for the term of five years, and performed the duties of such position to the satisfaction of the citizens. During the stormy days of the Rebellion he was one of the most ardent supporters of the Union, and did yeoman service as committee on quota in raising money and troops in his township, traveling to and from Harrisburg frequently on such duties. In 1867 Judge Marshall was candidate of his party for the Legislature. His opponent, Captain C. D. Roush, received a majority of three votes, and Mr. Marshall contested the election, carrying it to the House of Representatives at Harrisburg. A committee was appointed and upon its report Captain Roush was given the seat.
For fifteen years he served the people as justice of the peace, and it was said of him, "He was the best 'squire we ever had."
The family was for many years connected with the Presbyterian Church of Milton, and Judge Marshall was an earnest Christian. His life was spent in doing good to all; his advice was sought by hundreds and freely and graciously given, and his years passed to the close of his honorable career, peaceful, happy and valued by his fellow-citizens.
