The Late Andrew Marshall, one of Lycoming County's Venerable Citizens
We are called upon to record the death of one of Lycoming County's noblest citizens, Mr. Andrew Marshall of Anthony Township, who died April 7th, 1884, aged 80 years, 6 months and 14 days. When quite young, Andrew came with his father to what is now Anthony Township and has continued to reside there during all his life. When a young man, he was married to Elizabeth Carpenter and began housekeeping on a small scale in the wilderness, and all through life has led a straightforward, honorable course with all mankind, and has left a record to others well worthy of emulation.
He raised two sons and seven daughters to maturity, all of whom are living, except one daughter who died near fourteen years ago. His aged wife preceded him to the grave, she having died in August, 1880. All through life, Mr. Marshall was a true Christian, a good neighbor, and a useful citizen, and when trouble arose in the community, he was always ready to command peace and administer words of comfort. He took special delight in telling incidents of his youthful days when the country was comparatively a wilderness; what troubles they had in protecting their livestock, such as cattle, sheep, hogs and poultry from wild beasts. The writer of this article heard him relate some interesting reminiscence about two weeks before his death, when he was seemingly in good health and excellent spirits; how he would throw a bag of grain across the back of a horse and go a distance of twelve miles to a grist mill in all kinds of weather, and many other hardships which he had to endure that the people of our day know little of. But now he is gone, and those of his sons and daughters, grandchildren and great-grandchildren, will remember him with tender hearts as one who could always be relied on with implicit confidence. While he will be missed among us we must not complain, as he was the last of a large family of brothers and sister. Truly, his family and friends were blessed in thus having him spared them so many years, and now he is at rest after a long and well spent life of service in the Christian church.
The funeral occurred on Wednesday, April 9th, and the last sad rights were attended by depositing all that was mortal of Andrew Marshall in the silent tomb, at the Emery burying ground. The services were conducted by Rev. J. M. King, of Newberry, from Numbers, 23rd chapter, latter part of the 10th verse. A FRIEND, Anthony, Pa, April 12, 1884.
