General Notes: Husband - James Thomas Marshall

---

He attended the country schools through boyhood and had his prac­tical training in agriculture, on the home farm. In 1873 he came to his own farm, besides which he owned 131 acres additional, a part of which was the old homestead. He successfully carried on sev­eral industries there, dairying being one of importance. With the assistance of his three sons and a hired man, he culti­vated 100 acres and made specialties of strawberries and fine potatoes. He util­ized modern machinery and is interested in improved methods of cultivation, taking advantage of those which seemed to him profitable. Mr. Marshall made im­provements on his property which make it a place of mark in the county. His sub­stantial barn was one of the best in the township and he had a silo of about fifty tons capacity. In 1908 he erected one of the handsomest mansions in that section of the country, an ideal rural home, beau­tifully located, and equipped with every modern improvement regardless of ex­pense, in its building following out plans of his own as to comfort and convenience. It was of natural stone construction, three stories in height, while its inside finish­ings were the best known to build­ers at that time. Its roomy porches looked out over the handsome grounds.
He and his wife were active mem­bers of the Middlesex Presbyterian Church. Mr. Marshall was a Republican but only a politician to the extent of good citizenship.
