Mr. D. E. Marshall, age 73, whose home is on Cleveland Street, died suddenly on Friday evening a few hours after being stricken at his work. Mr. Marshalls' death was a great surprise to all who knew him. Stricken at his work in the afternoon, he was brought to his home, and was thought to be recovering from the attack when he expired suddenly at about half past ten in the evening.
Dock Early Marshall was one of nine children born to John W. Marshall and Ann Donnovant. His birth took place on Sept. 18th, 1853, near Horsepasture and had he lived until the fall of this year he would have been 73 years of age.
