General Notes: Husband - Hon. Samuel Marshall
Shortly after marriage, he and his wife removed to a farm in Adams Township, Butler County, Pennsylvania, where they remained more than fifty years in a happy home, until death removed his wife. Shortly after he removed to Cranberry Township, he actively entered into the direction of local affairs; he soon developed a master mind among his neighbors, and quietly obtained the confidence of the whole community where he resided. He was early called into public life; his neighbors elected him a local magistrate, where he distinguished himself by settling and managing nearly all the litigation that was brought to his forum; generally he managed to make litigants friends at the cost of the magistrate and his officers. Before the expiration of his term as a local magistrate, the people of Butler County elected him Associate Judge. At this time he was known as a radical anti-slavery man and Whig. In this position, he distinguished himself as eminently competent to an intelligent and firm discharge of the duties of Judge. He proved himself a power on the bench; he exercised his own judgment with firmness and promptitude, sometimes to the surprise if not the pleasure of the President Judge. His fitness, ability and faithfulness in judicial positions were never questioned. He was elected and re-elected until he was disabled by disease and old age.
Nominally a farmer, Mr. Marshall, by his skillful and wise investments, accumulated a comfortable fortune, and, during his long and useful life, was his own executor. As his children attained maturity and settled in life, he was willing and able to place at their use a home, provided with all the necessary appliances for comfort and competency.
He was of large physical frame, about six feet in height, wonderfully active and energetic during the first thirty years of his married life. He was almost constantly engaged in business requiring his presence in Butler and Pittsburgh. At all hours and in almost all kinds of weather, he might be found on horseback either bound for Butler or Pittsburgh. He was well known to the people of Butler County, and equally well known to the inhabitants of that part of Allegheny County northwest of the Alleghany River. Notable among the events of Mr. Marshall’s life may be mentioned his change of political relations. His early training in the home of his parents made him an earnest radical anti-slavery man. His parents had instilled these sentiments of hostility to slavery; his home in Cranberry Township was well known as a station on the Underground Railroad to Canada. The colored people of Pittsburgh knew his hospitality and courage; there the fatigued always found shelter, sustenance and protection. The slaveholders frequently came in search of their fleeing chattels, but never succeeded in capturing a human soul from beneath the roof of Samuel Marshall. Notwithstanding his enthusiastic love of human freedom, when the Whig party of 1854 became subordinated to the “Know-Nothing” mania, Mr. Marshall being a foreign-born citizen, esteemed the movement an assault on his manhood, and, in common with his brother, Thomas M. Marshall, of Pittsburgh, he left his party and acted with the Democratic party in the struggle with “Americanism.” He induced his brother to visit Butler County and address the people in vindication of the manhood of a citizen, without regard to the accident of birth. The Democrats quickly appreciating the value of the man, extended the same confidence and trust which his own party had bestowed, and he was twice elected to the bench by the Democratic party.
