General Notes: Husband - William Wilson Marshall
In young manhood he engaged in milling, but in 1840, he settled on a farm in Wayne township, Armstrong County, Pennsylvania, which he had previously purchased, and lived upon this property until his death. A strong Democrat, he was often called upon to represent the principles of his party in various township offices, serving as auditor, constable, assessor and tax collector. In addition to his other interests he was agent for farm machinery, and traveled through Armstrong County in behalf of the company he represented. In 1860 he was the nominee for commissioner of Armstrong County, but his being a Republican district was not elected.
Mr. Marshall was a well-educated man, and during his younger life taught school to some extent during the winter months, becoming very popular as an educator. His services were often required in the settling up of estates, and he was frequently made administrator.
Mr. Marshall rendered a number of public services to the people of Armstrong County, and in 1846 was one of a committee appointed by the Pennsylvania State Legislature to locate a road from Indiana to Clarion, a distance of over fifty miles. The work of selecting the proposed route consumed thirty days.
During 1870 he made a trip to Iowa, but was not sufficiently interested to invest in land there, foreseeing that a long period must elapse before returns could be made.
It was he who conceived the idea of writing a history of the Marshall family, which work was carried out by his son, O. S. Marshall. [HAC 1914, 418]
