William Marshall, youngest child of Andrew S. Ege and Mary Ann Marshall , was born December 16, 1855. He attended the common and graded schools until he had fitted himself for teaching, and entered the University of Chicago in 1877, and graduated with the degree of Ph. B. in 1881. In 1886 his Alma Mater conferred upon him the degree of Ph. D. He was engaged for eleven years in the work of the Young Men's Christian Association as secretary of the branches at Muscatine and Burlington, Iowa, where the writer had the pleasure of visiting him a number of times.
In 1893 he returned to his chosen profession of teaching and became Professor of German and Science in an Academy at Osage, Iowa. In 1898 he was principal of the High School at Mason City, Iowa, and is now in the service of the U. S. Government as a teacher on the Rosebud Reservation, South Dakota. He was married in 1883 to Loie Ann Davis, daughter of Charles A. Davis, Esq., of Burlington, Iowa, and has five children, viz: Raymond, now in college at Ames, Iowa; Eloise, Harriet, Howard and Arthur. Mrs. Ege was for a number of years a teacher in the schools at Burlington, Iowa, and their present work among the Sioux Indians affords abundant opportunity for their varied talent and experience.
