FUNERAL HELD SUNDAY AFTERNOON
At the age of eighty-one years, William K. Marshall, one of the oldest residents of Reynoldsville, passed away at his home on East Main street at 7:00 o'clock Wednesday evening, August 2nd, 1911. His death was the result of the gradual dissolution of old age, though the end was hastened by a stroke of paralysis twenty-four hours before the end. For several years past he had been very feeble and had been unable to do active work for almost ten years. In his youth he had possessed a strong constitution and had lived a life of constant activity, which gave him a vitality that made him appear, until the last few years, much younger than he actually was.
The funeral was held at the late residence of the deceased Sunday afternoon conducted jointly by Rev. J. F. Black, of the Metho¬dist Episcopal church, and Dr. A. J. Meek, of the Baptist church, and was attended by a very large number of the friends and relatives of the deceased, attesting well the esteem in which he was held after his long life of useful toil and upright conduct.

William K. Marshall was born in Butler, Butler county, Pa., November 23, 1829, and was 81 years, 8 months, and 9 days old at the time of his death. In his earlier years he was interested in the lumber business, and later moved to Jefferson county, with his wife, to whom he was married at Brookville, Pa., in 1854. At Rathmel he was interested in farming and later left the farm and was employed by the coal company, with whom he stayed until too old to do further work. In recent years he had lived at ease at his home on Main street, enjoying the evening of life in well earned leisure.
Mr. Marshall was a member of the Patriotic Order Sons of America, and also a member of the Methodist Episcopal church, living a pure christian life at all times. No man was more highly esteemed than he or enjoyed the confidence of those who knew him best to a greater degree.
To Mr. and Mrs. Marshall twelve children were born, three of whom, all daughters, preceded the father into the Eternal World.
