Judge Marshall, familiarly known as "Cyclone Jim," was well known in West Virginia. He was a speaker of recognized ability and made several campaigns in Summers county in the interest of Democratic tickets. He had a genial disposition and a keen sens of humor, and could entertain his friends for hours at a time. During his life he was often heard to remark that all he wanted on his tombstone was this epitaph: "Here lies a man who made more people laugh than cry." The funeral and interment took place at Ronceverte this afternoon. A large number of friends from Virginia and this State were present at the funeral services. The Independent-Herald, Hinton, West Virginia Thursday, December 7, 1911, page 6 Judge James W Marshall, known throughout this part of the country as "Cyclone Jim Marshall," died, after being in feeble health for months, at his home in New Castle, Va, Monday morning, the 27th. is body was brought to Ronceverte and buried by the side of his wife, who was buried there about three years ago, being a sister of Mrs M A Gates. Judge Marshall was a native of Augusta county, but had lived at New Castle many years. He represented his county in the Legislature and his district one term in Congress. He was a big- hearted, companionable man, whom everybody liked and who numbered his friends by the thousand. The Independent-Herald, Hinton, West Virginia Thursday, December 14, 1911, page 4 Hon James W Marshall, who died recently at his home in New Castle, was buried there instead of Ronceverte, as was first announced. His sons thought that as their father was a native of Virginia, had lived so long at New Castle, had fought through the war in defense of his native state, had represented it in the House of Delegates, the Senate, the Constitutional Convention, and in Congress, he should be buried in Virginia. - Greenbrier Independent Contributor: Anonymous (48825891)
