Read More	From a 1919 biography, added paragraph is a correction to the info provided in 1919 A descendant of the Marshall family, of Scotch-Irish origin, which located in Virginia in Colonial days, James M. Marshall of Parlier, represents the California branch of this well known family. He was born in Allegheny County, Pa., September 7, 1849, the son of John and Margaret (McFarland) Marshall, natives of Pennsylvania. His father was a master mechanic by trade and, when James M. was four years of age, removed with his wife arid three children, Cordelia, Theophilus, and James McConnell, all born in Pennsylvania, to the state of Ohio. There they sojourned a little less than three years, removing at the end of that time to Perry County, Ill., where the father continued his occupation of master mechanic, doing cabinet-work mostly, until stricken with paralysis, from the effect of which he died three years after J. M. came to California. The mother passed to her reward about three years prior to her husband's death. At the time of his death the father was reasonably well-to-do, owning 120 acres of land in Perry County, Ill. Of their six children, one child was born and died in Ohio, and two were born in Illinois: Ammy died at the age of seventeen in Illinois; [Ed died in that state at the age of thirty, leaving a wife and three children] (Edward Marshall (my grandfather) was the youngest child of John Marshall and Margaret McFarland. The information related to John on this website checks out except for the information about Edward dying at age 30. He lived to be 55 years old and had 5 children with Sarah Eater. B R Marhall) ; Theophilus enlisted in the Union Army in 1863 and died at Little Rock, Ark., Cordelia, married Milton Corrigan, a farmer of Perry County, and died several years ago, leaving eight children to mourn her loss. James M., [the only survivor of his immediate family], was brought up in Perry County, Ill., from the age of six years, and, as a small lad of nine, worked on his father's farm, driving a team in the fields. He received an average common-school education and at the age of twenty-one was united in wedlock with Miss Amy Ann King, continuing the occupation of farming in Perry County, Ill., until 1884. Before leaving Illinois he was taken with pneumonia, and while in the convalescent stage suffered a relapse. Threatened with quick consumption, the precarious state of his health caused his decision, in 1884, to remove with his wife and two children to the milder climate of California. During the first two years in his new home he was a very sick man and then experienced the darkest hours of his entire life. At this time had he had the means he would have returned to Illinois to die. Recovering his health, he decided to remain in the new home. The country grew, more people came, more ditches were being built, and after 1887 the business outlook generally improved. In the fall of 1886 he purchased eighty acres from the Southern Pacific Railway Company. After improving the property he sold one-half of it about twelve years ago, and today owns forty acres of well improved land. Mr. Marshall helped to build the Centerville and Kingsburg Ditch as well as many of the minor laterals. This ditch is now under the consolidated Ditch Company, the Cold Slough branch of which passes along the east line of his land and furnishes an abundance of water for irrigation. As an emergency measure he has installed a twenty-horsepower gasoline engine and a six-inch centrifugal pump, solving his water supply for irrigation purposes. A two-horsepower gasoline engine pumps water in a tank for domestic and stock purposes. Mr. Marshall has been married three times. His first wife, who was the mother of his eight children, died in 1902 and is buried in Mendocino Cemetery, Fresno County. Two of their children were born in Illinois. Wallace was five years of age and Agnes two when their parents removed to California. Homer, Dolly, Jessie, Blanche, Horace and Delia were born in Fresno County. The eight children are all living; the girls are married and Homer served in the United States Army. Mr. Marshall's second marriage proved uncongenial, resulting in a divorce. His third marriage occurred June 18, 1915, when he was united to Mrs. Irene Jones, nee Irene Conley, a native of Tulare County, Cal., who was divorced from her first husband, the father of her two children, Paul and Ruth by name. Mr. Marshall helped to promote the oil interests of the county at Coalinga, the venture proving disastrous financially for him, resulting in the loss of about six thousand dollars. He is an honest, hard-working and successful man, highly respected by his friends and neighbors, and has done much general welfare work, donating largely to the Christian Society, the Young Men's Christian Association, and the Red Cross, as well as purchasing Liberty Bonds. He served as a school trustee in both the River Bend and Parlier districts.
