MARSHALL.--Pursuant to an action of the joint board of the trustees of the Sheppard Home, the undersigned were appointed a committee to draft resolutions of respect to Rev. Jesse Marshall. Brother Marshall was born in Tennessee, June 26, 1827; moved to Arkansas in early life; commenced preaching when about eighteen years old. He moved to Texas a few years before his departure. The most of his ministry was spent in Arkansas, where thousands were converted under his ministry. Not many years after he came to Texas he had a stroke of paralysis, and soon afterward was moved to the Sheppard Home, where, after being unable to labor any longer, he was taken care of by the church until his departure, June 19, 1908, at 9:50 p.m. Brother Marshall was a member of Austin Presbytery of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church, and often expressed the desire to get out and preach during his confinement of over two years. He frequently rejoiced in the prospect of his bright home in heaven. With deep sorrow we chronicle the departure of our dear brother, but bow in humble submission to the divine will. He leaves a companion, three sons and a daughter to mourn his departure.--John Hudson, R. W. Norris.
