Ionia Standard, 11 Aug 1916

Samuel Charles Marshall, son of John Marshall, Center street, died Monday 
morning at about 9:30 o’clock, after an illness of almost two months.  His 
death is attributed to malaria, contracted while he was in South America some 
years ago with the navy.  He came here in June from Portsmouth, N. H., where 
his wife and baby died May 16, reaching his father’s home June 13.  On June 18 
he could not leave his bed, and he grew steadily worse from that time on.

He was about seven years with the navy, having shipped twice.  The first time 
was the same time that Frank Kidd enlisted and circumnavigated the globe.  It 
was at this time that Mr. Marshall’s vessel was kept for some time in South 
America, but it went around the world afterward.  The first enlistment was for 
four years and second for three. During his second term he was on the vessel of 
the secretary of war and participated in the great naval demonstration at New 
York during Taft’s administration.

He first came to Ionia with his father fifteen years ago, but has been here 
only for visits since joining the navy.
