MICHAEL MARSHALL.

Michael Marshall, an Irish farmer, who came from Ohio in 1871, settled on section 30, where he owned 280 acres of land, which he thoroughly cultivated, and upon which he planted trees and built two residences -- one for his own family and one for a tenant. He became one of the most prosperous farmers of this locality.
