MARSHALL

H. Williams, J. Plunkett, Zeno Plunkett, "Lee Plunkett, R. N. Pickett, George Warren and Charles Plifton were the first inhabitants who came to Marshall.

The town was laid out September 24, 1851.

The first store was kept by R. N Pickett, who was also the first Postmaster.

A Mr. Roberts kept the first hotel, and John Henyman had the first black smith-shop.

The first doctor was H. H. Cohee and the first Justice, A. W. Mason.

The town at present contains 200 inhabitants. There are two general stores, one drug store, two inns, a harness and two blacksmith shops.

There was a grist-mill erected here in 1859 or 1860, by Thomas Tucker. It was run until 1872, when the machinery was taken to Winfield and a mill started there.

In addition to a saw-mill that was built in 1856, W. Williams erected a woolen-mill here in 1861. Both the mill and factory were closed in 1866.

Marshall has an independent school district and a fine schoolhouse. The first schoolhouse was of logs, and erected in 1844—45. This was replaced by a brick one in 1849. The increase of scholars and the dilapidation of the old forty-niner, made it necessary to build anew and enlarge, and this was done in 1868, when a graded school was built. The first teacher who ever taught in this district was W. P. Howe.

There is but one church here, Methodism holding sway. The society was organized with the town. The pulpit of the old log house, the first scene of preaching, was supplied by itinerant ministers. In 1858, a church was built. the Pastor at that time being Rev. A. Kirkpatrick. The Church is in a prosperous condition.

A Masonic lodge began work under dispensation in October, 1857, and was chartered June, 1858. under the name of Adoneram Lodge, No. 120. The first officers were: J. McClellan, W. M.; H. W. Stone, S. W.; J. D. Bryan, J. W.; Thomas Tucker, Treasurer: M. M. Cook, Secretary; A. W. Mason, S. D.; J. Perkins, J. D.; M. Z. Bain, Tiler. The other charter members were W. H. Nickell, H. W. Thomas, J. H. Taylor, E. R. Barton, J. Deweese, J. S. Reeves and S. M. Cook. The Lodge was burned, with total loss, in 1808, and was rechartered in June, 1859. The present officers are: A. G. Brown, W. M.; E. James, S. W.; H. H. Mathews, J. W.; P. Frisbee, Treasurer; M. M. Cook, Secretary ; L. T. Warren, S. D.; J. B. Reel, J. D.; R. R. Bowl, S. Steward ; D. Niswanger, J. Steward ; H. Magdefrau, Tiler.
