  Andrew E. Marshall, 1828-1860
  
  Introduction
  
  Andrew E. Marshall [1828-1860] was born in Wheeling, Virginia, the 
  son of Andrew Marshall [1800-abt. 1839] and Barbara McQuistion [abt. 
  1808-1837].  He was reared in Butler, Butler County, PA, by the 
  McQuistions after the death of his parents.  His paternal grandparents 
  were John Marshall [1761-1806] and Catharina Truby Rohrer Marshall 
  [1764-1806].  His maternal grandparents were John McQuistion [1767-1841] 
  and Barbara Arter [abt. 1768-1837].  He married Sarah Ellen Daugherty/
  Dougherty of Clearfield Township, Butler County; she died in March 1861.  
  Their five orphaned children were reared in Butler County by their 
  maternal Grandmother, Eunice Daugherty.  Their names were Barbara, 
  Amelia, Sarah Ann, Andrew P., and Mary A. Marshall
  
  As can be seen see from the death notices below, he was a veteran 
  of the Mexican War and a printer.  He was one of the owners of the 
  Butler "Democratic Herald" and was employed at the time of his death 
  by the Pittsburgh "Morning Post".  He was buried in St. Mary's Cemetery, 
  Penn Avenue and 45th Street, Pittsburgh.

  DEATH OF ANDREW E. MARSHALL
  
  	The painful duty devolves upon us this morning of announcing the 
  death of Andrew E. Marshall, who, for some time past, has been Foreman 
  of THE MORNING POST new office.  He died on Tuesday at noon, of 
  consumption, at the early age of thirty-two years.
  
  	Mr. Marshall was born in Butler county in this State, where most 
  of his friends and relatives at present reside.  At the time of 
  the commencement of the Mexican war, he was in this city, and, although 
  newly married, he at once volunteered in this service of his country, 
  and as a member of the Duquesne Greys, Company K, Pennsylvania Volunteers, 
  proceeded to Mexico.  He took part in the bombardment of Vera Cruz, 
  the battle of Cerro Gordo, and the siege of Puebla.  At the latter 
  place he was discharged with a physician's assistant, and proceeded 
  to the city of Mexico, where he worked at his trade, and was despatcher 
  for Col. Samuel W. Black.  In Mexico he doubtless contracted the 
  seeds of that disease which has at an early age deprived him of 
  life.  He returned to the city of Pittsburgh, but has never been 
  a healthy man since.  His application for a pension, well earned 
  and most meritoriously deserved, was, through some informality, 
  unsuccessful, and he labored at his art for months, with sores upon 
  his limbs, which made it difficult for him to stand, to gain a livelihood 
  for a wife and family of small children.  During the last session, 
  through the kindly exertions of General James K. Moorehead, our 
  Congressman, and General Simon Cameron, one of our Pennsylvania 
  Senators, Congress granted him a pension which he has not lived 
  to enjoy, as the first payment does not fall due until September. 
   It will, we presume, be paid to the wife of the young soldier.
  
  	Mr. Marshall was an adept at his art, and a man who was ever anxious 
  to do his duty to all.  His fellow-soldiers in Mexico and his brethren 
  of the printing fraternity, as well as numerous friends in Western 
  Pennsylvania, will deeply regret to learn of his death.  We add 
  to theirs, our heartfelt sympathy for his bereaved wife and fatherless 
  little children.  The lives of both soldier and printer are not 
  lives of ease, and Mr. Marshall's life was not an exception.  Peace 
  to the soul of the young printer-soldier.  We believe that he died 
  a christian, and is free from the anxieties and cares of this world--a 
  new inhabitant of a better one.
