From History of Richland County by Judge Milner:
HARVEY MARSHALL. - It is signally consistent that a review of the life of this venerable and honored pioneer citzen be incorporated in this publication, for he has ably played his part in the development and upbuilding of the county and has resided on his present homestead farm, in the town of Marshall, for more than half a century, the township having been named in honor of him and his brother Joseph. The latter's daughter Maria was the first white child born in the township. Harvey Marshall was born in Carroll county, O., July 5, 1825, and is a son of John and Betsy (Gillingham) Marshall, the former of whom was born in the state of New York and the latter in Columbiana county, O., where their marriage was solemnized. The father was a tailor by trade and he removed to Ohio when a young man, securing a large tract of land in Carroll county and there developing a good farm from the wilderness. He was a man of strong character and impregnable integrity, true and sincere in all the relations of life. He was influential in public affairs in his county and held various township offices. He was originally an old-line Whig and later became one of the organizers of the Republican party in his section. He was kindly, generous and charitable, ever ready to aid those in affliction, and both he and his wife were devout members of the Baptist church. He attained to the patriarchal age of ninety-six years and his wife was eighty years of age at the time of her death. They became the parents of eleven children: James died in childhood; Thomas married Lydia Ann Turnipseed and they reside in Jefferson county, O.; Moses, who is deceased, married Catherine Queen and was a successful farmer of Richland county, Wis.; Joseph, who married Margaret Dinsmore, died on his farm in the town of Marshall, this county; Samuel, who married Angeline Burgett, is a farmer of Rockbridge township; Harvey is the immediate subject of this sketch; John died in Carroll county, O.; Lydia married James McNally and both died in Rockbridge township, Richland county, Wis.; Fannie became the wife of Robert Butcher and they died in Vernon county, this state; Maria is the widow of Joseph Burgett and resides in Alexandria, Minn.; and Charles, who married Sarah Berkley, died on his farm in Forest township, Richland county, Wis. Harvey Marshall was reared to manhood in his native county and early began to aid in the reclaiming and other work of the home farm. Such were the exigencies of the locality and period that his educational advantages were of the most limited sort, but he has learned well the lessons taught by the wisest of all headmasters, experience, and is a man of broad information and mature judgment. He remained at home until 1853, when he set forth for Richland county, Wis., where he arrived on the 10th of May, in company with John Fogo and Edward Penick and their respective families. They came up the Mississippi river by boat to Dubuque and thence to Galena, where they hired a team and wagon to transport them to Muscoda, Wis., from which point they were compelled to cut their way through the woods to their destination. Mr. Marshall settled on his present homestead, in section 15, town of Marshall, first securing 120 acres of government land, heavily timbered, and later by adding forty acres. He now has a fine landed estate of 520 acres, in sections 10, 15, 16, and 21. When he raised his first log house, in a little clearing in the forest, every man in the town of Marshall was present to aid, as were also residents of other townships. Indians were more numerous than white settlers and wild game of all kinds was plentiful. Mr. Marshall lived up to the full tension of the pioneer epoch and his reminiscences of the early days are most graphic and interesting. He has effected the reclamation of 200 acres of his land and has been true to all the duties of citizenship, not hedging himself in with his personal affairs, but doing all in his power to further the progress and industrial and civic development of this now opulent and beautiful section of the Badger state. He has been very successful as a farmer and as a grower of high-grade live stock and his homestead is one of the model farms of the county. He is a stanch advocate of the principles and policies of the Republican party, but has never been a seeker of official preferment, though he has consented to serve in various local offices. He has been a member of the Christian church for sixty years and has ordered his life in accord with the faith which he has thus professed. He is well known throughout the county and his circle of friends is limited only by that of his acquaintances. Mr. Marshall was united in marriage to Miss Ann Wanless, daughter of George Wanless, of Carroll county, O., and her death occurred in January, 1874. The children of this union were seven in number: George married Lydia Drake and is now a successful farmer in Vernon county; John, who is a farmer of the town of Marshall, married Elizabeth Barker; Charles, who married Nettie Turnipseed, is now a resident of the Canadian northwest; Simon, who married Martha McKee, is a farmer in Marshall township, as is also Benjamin, who married Lillian Rhenhart; Elizabeth is the wife of Thomas Mark, of Juneau county; and Susan is the wife of Oliver Sumner, a farmer of Viola township. Mar. 8, 1876, was solemnized the marriage of Mr. Marshall to Mrs. Samantha Russell, who was born in Columbiana county, O., being a daughter of William and Maria (Hart) Milner, both of whom died in that county. The name of her first husband was Hugh Russell and he died in Jefferson county, O. Mr. and Mrs. Russell became the parents of six children, of whom four are living, - Rebecca, wife of George Burnside, of Sharon, Penn.; Mary, wife of Frank Beckwith, of Cayuga county, O.; Emma, wife of Samuel McNally, of Rockbridge township, Richland county, Wis.; and Julia, wife of George Bullard, of Ardmore, Ind. Ter. Mr. and Mrs. Marshall have no children.
