   O. H. Marshall, farmer, Covington, is the son of James and Nancy (Stone)
Marshall, who were among the early settlers of Fountain county. His father, who
died June 15, 1860, at the age of thirty-nine years, had been a member of both
the Masonic and Odd-Fellows Orders. He was a farmer, and left at his death a
farm of 178 acres, on which he had improved forty. The farm has since fallen
into the hands of his son, O. H., who is now (1880) thirty-two years of age, and
is one of the honorable, respected and well-to-do farmers of Troy township. A
greenbacker politically; friendly to all local enterprises of merit, and a
believer in honesty being the best policy. Mr. Marshall married Miss Sarah E.
Briney, daughter of William S. and Ellen Briney. Her brother was an early
settler of Fountain county, and one who has since become identified with many of
the improvements that have been made in the northern part, and who is now one of
the leading and extensive farmers of the county. The issue of this marriage is
five children: Alma E., William J., Alice E. (deceased), Fannie L., and Nora E.
