General Notes: Husband - William Hillis Marshall

---

He grew up and worked with his father until he attained his majority, and then began teaching school. As he had lost his right arm in a threshing-machine he was unfitted for manual labor to any great extent, and so was thrown into other fields of labor. He sold sewing-machines for a while and in 1875 embarked in mercantile life in company with William O. Kirkland and Phillip Fisher, succeeding Jackson & Potter at Chewton. This venture proved successful and in 1895, the firm name was changed to William H. Marshall & Co. Mr. Marshall built a handsome modern home in 1892, and among the rest of his real estate holdings he had several tenement houses in Wampum. In 1883, the firm of which Mr. Marshall was a leading partner built a large lime kiln in Wayne township, and that was afterwards sold for a handsome consideration to the cement company. He retained his interest in the sandstone quarry. They also owned and operated quarries on the McMillen, Allen and McQuiston farms. Mr. Marshall was a Republican, and held minor township offices, and was a director of the schools. The family united with the Presbyterian Church.
