SABRET T. MARSHAL DIED SUNDAY
Was Bron n Keokuk of Pioneer Lineage and Spent Most of His Life in This City
HAD READ LAW HERE
Was A Member of the Kowa Legislature Two Terms Elected From Lee COunty.
Sabret T. Marshal, one of the most extensively known young men of Keokuk and the county, died at 4 o'clock Sunday morning at a local hospital where he went for an operation for appendicitis, which was successfully performed with the hope that he would soon be restored to health. The hopes were not well founded and soon his case became alarming which showed too plainly upon the faces of his nearest friends watching anxiously every phase of his condition. Still he lingered courageously, fighting the battle with heroic strength, but at the last the grim monster conquered and the young victim rests in that sleep which knows no waking, and a prominent figure in the social and other active circles of the city and county removed from our midst.
His Ancestors.
He descends from the active and honored pioneers of Lee County. His grandfather, Col. William Patterson, father of his mother, was one of the prominent leading spirits in the early history of Lee county and the state. He was a member of the first territorial legislature of Iowa, and of other sessions of that body. In the border troubles between Missouri and Iowa he was commissioned a colonel of Iowa militia by the governor and was active in the peaceful settlement of these troubles. He was three times Mayor of Keokuk, and for seven years postmaster of Keokuk. He was a member of the constitutional convention at Iowa City in 1857, and was for a long time president of the Des Moines Improvement company. For over nine years he was president of the Keokuk National Bank, a position he held at the time of his death. He was a fin old pioneer, christian gentleman, always at the front in every commendable commercial, industrial or civic movement for the benefit of his city, county or state.
The father of the deceased, COl. Samuel Taylor Marshall, a prominent pioneer lawyer of the county married a daughter of Colonel Patterson, and located at Keokuk, where he was known for his many sterling qualities. Besides ranking among the leading members of the bar, for a time he had editorial connection with "Nip and Tuck." a daily paper published in Keokuk in the early days. He was a college man from Oxford college, Ohio, located in his native town. He was a Lieutenant colonel from a military organization in Ohio to join what was known as the Patriots, which served at the time of the invasion of Canada. Captured by the British troops, he and a comrade were thrown into prison, tried and sentenced to be fined and transported to Van Diemansland. Mr. Marshall's cool indifference to his fate, caused him to be released. When he was captured by the British troops he had on his person his commission as lieutenant colonel, a dangerous document to possess in war times, when a prioneer in the hands of the enemy. This document Mr. Marshall chewed and swallowed. But the short hardship and suffering he endured while in the hands of the British soldiery brought on a serious illness. In December 1842, when Iowa was very young, wearing her territorial clothes, he arrived in Lee county and entered upon his active career here, and Lee county is better perhaps, that he came here. He was a man of much reading, history and general literature as well as law, was a friends always to the young students and gave them valuable aid and encouragement in their pursuit of knowledge.
Born in Keokuk.
Sabreet T. Marshall was born in Keokuk November 20, 1869, and at the usual age entered the public schools of Keokuk and passes through the several grades until he had become a high school student. He early chose the law as his vocation, and began reading with his father and and brother, and in January, 1895, was admitted tot he bar at Des Moines, passing an examination in open court before the supreme court of Iowa. He at once commenced the practice in Keokuk, but he spent the years 1896-7-8, iin Denver, Colorado, and El Paso, Texas, on account of failure of his health. He returned to Keokuk in 1898 and resumed the practice here. He was elected and re-elected for a second term. While an active worker on committees and otherwise, he used his gift of oratory very seldom, though he was a forceful, convincing speaker. While in the legislature he served on the following committees: Judiciary, railroads, commerce, municipal corporations, compensation of public officers, buildings and loan, hospital for insane, woman's suffrage, and inaane.
Sabret Marshall had many friends in Keokuk and Lee county, where he was born and spent most all his life. He was of a genial social disposition, with enough of real, genuine and original humor to make him welcome in any social gathering. He was not discriminating in his nature, but held to some of the primitive pioneer traits. He appeared to think "a man's a man for a that." and was easily approached whether attired in overalls or broadcloth, and he treated lord and peasant in the same genial spirit. he will be sadly missed in many circles of the city in which he mingled, usually as the life of the little company, He was a young man of brains, reading and thought and was fairly successful in the undertakings which he pursued earnestly and persistently. His memory will long remain green in many Keokuk and Lee county hearts.
