The oldest person of Carroll County was Mrs. Mary Marshall, who died Monday morning, October 22, 1900, at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Lydia Ray, in Washington Township, aged 97 years. She was born in Virginia in 1803, moved to Washington County, Pennsylvania, in her infancy, came to this county with her parents, Tobias and Sarah Roudebush, in the year 1811, when 8 years of age, and settled in what is now Washington Township, on the farm now owned by Joshua Marshall, having bought it of the Government for $1.25 per acre. She was the oldest of a family of nineteen children, all of whom except two are dead, Jesse Roudebush, of Carrollton, Ohio, and Mrs. Christina Crawford, of near Specht, Ohio. Her father lived to the ripe old age of 91 years, and her mother 92 years.

When they moved to their new home it was in the west wilderness of the then far west. They first built a log cabin and commenced clearing a piece for corn, and Mary or "Polly", as she was then called, helping to burn the brush.
In the year 1820, when but 17 years old, she was married to Joshua Marshall, the following year they bought a farm lying south of her father, now owned by J. L. Marshall, and commenced to cut logs for a log cabin which was 16 x 20, with a fire place and chimney built of sticks and plastered, with greased paper for window lights, and wooden hinges for the door, to swing on. As time sped along, and prosperity greeted them, they built a hewed log house which was 28 x 34 feet, two stories high. Of the union of Joshua Marshall and Mary Roudebush there were born to them 12 children, 6 sons and 6 daughter.

After the death of her husband in 1876 grandmother Marshall made her home with her children, residing in this state until the year 1889 when she made her home permanently with her daughter, Mrs. Lydia Ray, of Washington Township. Grandmother was an industrious woman, never being contented with out work of some kind to do. She threading her needle and sewing carpet rags without glasses up to within one year of her death. Grandmother Marshall had been in ill health for some time, being afflicted with a disease of a dropsical nature. But she had been able to be up and around the day prior to her death. Sunday morning she was out in the yard, and when she came in and sat down in her chair in the kitchen, she complained of feeling ill, and seemed to have a premonition that death was near. She said, "I believe I will go to bed I am going to die." She was helped to her bed and in about 24 hours the slender thread of life was silently broken, and the spirit of grandmother Marshall was released. The funeral services were held Wednesday, October 24, 1900, from Mt. Olivet Church and conducted by Rev. J. N. Johnson of Augusta, assisted by Rev. Hays of Mechanicstown. Her remains were laid to rest in the Mr. Olivet Cemetery beside her husband.
Grandmother Marshall used to tell the writer of this about her trip to this state when they came here in 1811, there was no railroads or stage routes, they came by the overland route, the country was then all timbered, and while her father would go ahead and cut a road through the forest her mother would drive the team which was attached to a large farm wagon with hickory bows fastened over it and covered with muslin. In her pioneer days they did not have stoves and ranges to do their cooking on, they done their cooking and baking both on the fire place coals baking their bread in the old dutch oven. She has often told of her first spring bed which was blocks laid on the puncheon floor with pieces of rails on them covered with brush to support the tick. Grandmother was a good woman, kind and industrious. She had no faith in medicine, and during her illness, refused to have a physician called. Her entire life after arrival here was spent in this one township, Washington, and their log cabin was one of the first erected in this community.
