General Notes: Husband - William Pusey Marshall


He was less than six years of age at the death of his father, and just sixteen years of age at the death of his mother. He entered the well-known Friends educational institution, the Westtown Boarding School in 1839, and spent three years there as a student. He began teaching school at the old octagon school house at Birmingham Meeting house at the age of seventeen years and from 1843 to 1849 was teacher of the Friends School at Darby, and for the next two years taught in Benjamin Swayne's school in Londongrove township. After his marriage, he settled on a farm in West Goshen township, near West Chester, but continued to teach school for several winters after taking up the vocation of a farmer, having charge of a public school nearby for one winter, and of the Friends school on North High street, West Chester, for two or more winters. He was for twenty years, an industrious, enterprising and successful farmer, maintaining a large dairy. In 1871, he sold his dairy and associated himself with Walter Hibberd, of West Chester in the business of conveyancing, money loaning, and general agent. On the death of his partner in 1879, he took entire charge of the office on North High street, West Chester, and continued the business until his death, though for several years the business was principally in the charge of his son Samuel Marshall.
November 11, 1884, William Pusey Marshall was made one of the directors of the National Bank of Chester County, and he was annually elected to that position thereafter until his death. January 13, 1893, he was elected vice-president and March 27, 1894, president of this bank. From this time, till his death, Mr. Marshall gave his almost undivided attention to the affairs of the bank. In 1890, he was elected vice-president of the newly organized Dime Savings Bank of Chester County, and continued to fill that position until his death. He was one of the trustees of the West Chester State Normal School, from 1872 to 1885, and secretary of the board of trustees from 1876 to 1882. He was for twenty-four years and up to the time of his death one of board of prison inspectors. He was a constant attendant at the Friends Meeting on High street, West Chester, and one of the trustees of their real estate.
