Sacred to the memory of GEORGE MARSHALL

who departed this life in the 74th year of his age on the 2nd day of August 1855.
He was a rare man in head and heart. Under the cover of a plain, blunt and somewhat
repulsive exterior, he hid a warmth of affection, sincerity and sensibility of feeling known
only to his family circle and those who had the happiness of sharing his confidence and
friendship. He was kind and generous, willing and ready to embark in whatever he
believed to be for the public good. He gloried in the service he had espoused, and labored
nobly to make known the principles and commend its design to others. Infinite wisdom
has remove from his labors, and left others to discharge the duties unaided by his science
and skill in the misty art of his profession all acknowledge his worth
and regret his loss. He was practically useful in his day and generation.
