General Notes: Husband - Watson S. Marshall
For the last twelve years of his life he engaged very extensively in mail carrying, having at times three or four routes. He had the Dayton-Kittanning stage line for several years. He also took much interest in the mail routes of the neighborhood, and was the means of having several important changes made, such as three trips a week from Kittanning to Dayton instead of two, and the Smicksburg and Pinecreek route instead of terminating at Kittanning, was made to terminate at Brattonville. He purchased a large saw-mill on Mahoning creek, near Phoenix, Pennsylvania, which he managed for several years, during this time he leased some timber land on Big Run, in Jefferson County, and engaged in lumber running in rafts down Big Run to the Mahoning, and down the Mahoning to his mill. He built houses in Dayton for sale or rent, and he was withal a live, active, energetic and enterprising business man.
