afterward married to Henriette Lindsey, to this union were born six
children, three of whom died in infancy.  Those surviving are, Mrs. Mary
Looney and J. H. Marshall of Groom, Texas, and Frank Marshall of Duke,

his children alone in the absence of a mother, he filled the place of both
father and mother as best he could.
He came to Oklahoma October 25, 1924, and was married to Mrs. Laura Hacker

and continued in that faith until his death.  He was blessed with three
good christian wives whom he never failed to praise highly.
He came to Elk City last November expecting to bring his wife here and
make this their home.  He was taken ill about two weeks ago, which
terminated in his death at the Music Hospital.
His wife and all of his children were at his bedside during his recent
illness.  All that medical science and loving hands could do was done but
to no avail.
