William C. Marshall

Died at his home, 717 Eighth avenue, at 10:10 o'clock last night, of 
paralysis of the brain.  For the past three or four years Mr. Marshall 
had been in declining health.  Last Wednesday evening he was taken sick 
but it was not thought to be a serious illness at the time.  About 3 
o'clock yesterday morning he received a stroke from which he never 
recovered and died at the time named.  The deceased was born in New 
Bloomfield, Perry county, February 27, 1836, and came to this city 
twenty-four years ago and was employed since at his trade, that of a 
carpenter and joiner.  He served during the war in company F, 104th 
infantry and was honorably discharged at the close of the war.  He was 
a member of Mackinaw lodge No. 380, Independent Order of Odd Fellows, 
of New Bloomfield, and also of the local Carpenter's union.  He was a 
man who was deservedly popular with all who knew him, and was a good 
citizen and an upright man.  He is survived by his wife and five 
children, fours sons and one daughter - H. R., of Allegheny City; 
William I., J. W., Roy and Mrs. Belle Howard, all of this city.  The 
funeral services will be held at the residence, 717 Eighth avenue, at
