Doctor Marshall was born in Omaha, Nebraska, June 15, 1882. His father was an educator who devoted many years to the educational service of the Indian Bureau, and was connected with Government Indian schools, both in the East and West. Doctor Marshall as a boy received some of his first impressions at Indian reservations. His parents were THOMAS M. and OLIVE A. (HAYS) MARSHALL, both natives of Gilmer County, West Virginia, and representatives of old families in the two Virginias. His father belonged to the Marshall family which gave America its greatest jurist, JOHN MARSHALL. THOMAS M. MARSHALL for several years was principal of the Glenville State Normal School of West Virginia. In later years, after retiring from educational work, he took up banking and real estate. CYRIL JUSTIN MARSHALL is one of two sons and five daughters still living. In his infancy his parents moved to New Mexico, and his father was teacher in one of the Indian schools just north of Santa Fe. He lived there until he was about nine years of age. His father then became connected with the great Indian school at Carlisle, Pennsylvania, and after a year they removed to White Cloud, Kansas, where his father continued in the Indian service for two years. The next home of the family was at Charleston, West Virginia, and a year and a half later they went to Hyden in Leslie County, Kentucky, living there a year, and his parents then returned to their native county of Gilmer in West Virginia. Doctor Marshall remained in Gilmer County until he was twenty-one.
