W. Everhart having charge of the services. Mr. Marshall was born April 30, 1830, at Jamaica, Vermont, where he lived until he was 19 years of age, moving from there to Massachusetts. In 1884 he moved from the latter state to Illinois, settling on a farm a mile south of this city.

Mr. Marshall was married November 1855, to Miss Lncinda Brooks at Mooers, New York. But one child was bora to this union, a daughter, Mrs, Ola Davis, who died in this city in June, 1890, at the age of 3a years. Mr. and Mrs.

Mr. McLaughlin was here a greater portion of the week, completing his labors Friday morning, when he went to Bloomington and reported the condition of affairs to the officials there. He also made a report to the department at Washington.
