George Alpheus Marshall was born at Northumberland, Coos county, New Hampshire, Feb. 17, 1836. He died at his home in this city July 5, 1914. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. A.M. Sherman, rector of the Kemper church, and by the members of the Masonic lodge of which Mr. Marshal has long been a member.
The Marshall family is an old and honored one in the annals of New England. The original ancestor came from England in the seventeenth century. The paternal grandfather of our friend was an officer in the Revolutionary war. Among his ancestors on his father's side was Gen. Isreal Putnam and on his mothers side Dr. Benjamin Franklin.
Mr. Marshall was graduated from the University of Vermont in 181 and during the same year came west to Sheboygan, Wis., where he was admitted to the bar in 1862. After practicing law at Galena, Ill. for five years, he removed to our city in 1867, and ever since then here has been his home. He continued in the practice of his profession until quite recently.
Nov. 28, 1862 Mr. Marshall was united in marriage to Miss Miriam H. Cutler of St. Albans, Vermont. There were born to them a daughter, Miss Mary Florence Marshall and a son, Francis Cutler Marshall, now Major in the regular army.
The first public service in Darlington of the Episcopal church was held Aug. 7, 1867 in the Congregational church. Mr. Marshall was present at this servie and very largely thur his efforts Kemper church was organized. He was the first warden of the church. He, with a few others, organized a Sunday School in 1868 and he was its first superintendent. He held these positions of warden and superintendent for many years. To him must be given credit for making Kemper church a vital force in this community. He lived and died one of its most loyal members and ardent supporters. Mr. Marshall was a devoted and self sacrificing husband and father and his family life was truly beautiful.
It can truly be said of Mr. Marshall that he was a profound scholar. He explored all the fields of literature, ancient and modern. He was master of nine languages, including the Hebrew, Sanskrit, Greek and Latin. He could read in the original all these nine languages.

George Alpheus Marshall, Darlington, was born at Northumberland, in Coos county, New Hampshire, February 17, 1836. His father’s name was Caleb Marshall; the maiden name of his mother was Laura Franklin Waters. Among his ancestors were Benjamin Franklin and General Israel Putnam of revolutionary memory. In 1852 his parents removed to St. Johnsbury, Vermont, where they lived until the death of his father, in 1866. His mother is still living at the advanced age of eighty-three years. While at St. Johnsbury, he was employed in the scale manufactory of E. & T. Fairbanks & Company. In 1855 he went to Johnson, Vermont, where he was prepared for college in the Lamoille county grammar school. In 1857 he entered the University of Vermont, at Burlington, and was graduated with honor in 1861. He immediately came to Wisconsin, and during the fall was principal of the high school at Sheboygan. Meantime he had commenced the study of the law, and continuing it in the office of Ellis & Jones, prominent attorneys of that city, he was, on June 9, 1862, admitted to the bar by Judge David Taylor. He went from Sheboygan to Galena, where he opened an office in August of that year. November 20, 1862, he was united in marriage to Miss Miriam H. Cutler, of Burlington, Vermont. She is a sister of H. C. Cutler, M.D., widely known as a successful physician and influential citizen of Dodgeville, in this state. At that time she was visiting at the residence of her cousin, Mrs. Bean, at Waukesha, where their marriage was celebrated by Bishop Kemper, in St. Matthias church. They have two children: Mary Florence, born July 26, 1865, and Francis Cutler, born March 26, 1867, both born in Galena. In July, 1867, owing to the poor health of his wife, he removed to Darlington, Wisconsin, where he has since remained in the active practice of his profession. In 1873 he determined to add the business of abstracting titles to his law practice; and he has now the only complete set of abstracts of real estate titles in La Fayette county. This has been made wholly under his personal supervision, and is a model of accuracy and completeness. In July, 1881, he formed a partnership with P. H. Conley, under the name of Marshall & Conley. He has paid little attention to politics, never having been a candidate for any political office. He was elected district attorney on the republican ticket in 1868, and county superintendent of schools in 187 1. He is now city attorney of Darlington. While living at Galena, his Alma Mater conferred upon him the degree of A.M. He has always taken an active interest in literary pursuits, and is correspondent of the Philological Society of England; he is president of the Literary Club and of the Dramatic Association of Darlington.
