Marshall On a plain marble slab standing on the brow of the hill in the old graveyard can be seen the name of James K. Marshall, who d. Mar. 24, 1856, aged 81 years. He lived most of his life on the farm now owned by his son in law, William Blyth's heirs on Pigeon Creek, in Carroll township. His florid complextion, white hair, robust form and pleasant manners will be called to mind by many of the present day. His farm in early day was known as the Joseph Hall farm, and was secured by VA entry about the time the Deckers took possession of their large tracts. The old house still standing was erected by Joseph Hall - it being a hewed log house with clapboard gable ends shows that it was the successor of the primitive house built of round logs with clapboard roof. His wife was one of the Hall family. He had several children. James settled in Beaver Co., but in after life we learn he moved to the West. He was a man of fine natural ability, and had only a limited education, yet in debate he was able to hold his own with the late talented R. F. Cooper, Esq., Dr. James Scott and Dr. Frank Shugart, with whom he had many an intellectual contest in school house debating societies. Whilst the others exhibited a flow of rhetoric, he was content to present his views in a plain, logical, common sense manner. He d. Mar. 19, 1892, at Lyndon, KS. The other son was a soldier in the late war of the rebellion, and is still a fixture on Pigeon creek. Their daughter, Susannah, in 1835, m. a man named John H. Marshall, who d. at Hazel Dell, Lawrence Co., PA, Aug. 10, 1887, in the 77th year of his age. He was b. in Nov. 1810, on what is known as the David Quail farm, near Washington, PA. His wife d. in April, 1886. They left 8 children. The other daughter, Nancy, m. Enoch Hays, and d. at her home near Steubenville, OH, in Mar. 1892, at an advanced age.
