For the past few weeks she has been confined with heart and kidney trouble, the end coming with a heart attack. Mrs. Marshall had reached the age of eighty-five years five months and one day. She came to this community in 1857 and has since made her home here, living here continuously for sixty-eight years. When she came here with her husband shortly after their marriage they settled on a farm west of Plainview in Elgin township now known as the Gregor farm. At that time an Indian trail ran within one-half mile of the house. The trail was continually in use by the Indians in passing to and from the river. After a few years they purchased the farm now owned by J. A. Simon which is even yet occasionally referred to as ....[paper clipped]

With so large a family Mrs. Marshall's home life was a busy one. She was greatly interested in people and tho her family held first demand she welcomed associations with neighbors and friends. As the infirmities of old age gradually confined her activities her greatest pleasure was int he visits of her family and friends, letters and photographs. Her interest in people was manifest in the keenness with which she kept track of events in the lives of her friends and ever growing family. her passing has brought sorrow, yet her extreme age, the record of a well spent life seems to add a referential timelyness to her passing and the sadness is somewhat relieved in the fullness of her life.

Those from away who attended the funeral were Mr. and Mrs. H.L.Evans, Mr. and Mrs. Elmer Marshall, Miss Mattie Holzer of Rochester, Arthur Marshall of Mellotte, S.D., Mrs. W.R.
