WILLIAM MARSHALL,  farmer and dairyman, Secs. 28 and 32;  P.O. 
Whitewater; born in Devonshire, England, Feb. 1, 1824.  After passing 
his early life in his native land, he came to America in 1850.  He located 
in Cold Spring, Jefferson Co., Wis., and began by hiring out at 50 cts. 
per day to the former owner of his farm.  By steady industry and good 
management, he now owns this farm of 293 acres on which he has a 
large cheese-factory, good buildings and improvements.  The cheese 
made at his factory was awarded a medal at the Centennial Exposition, 
and he now makes both butter and cheese.  He was one of the Cold 
Spring Cheese Co., but has lately sold his interest.  He married Miss 
Mary Rundle in April, 1850, who died in 1872, leaving six children - 
Elizabeth, William H., John T., Eva, Rebecca and Abram.  The three last 
were born at one time, and all are strong and healthy.  Mr. Marshall 
married Miss Maria Dodge in February, 1873; they have one son - 
Richard.  Mr. M. is an Independent Democrat, and has been Town 
Treasurer, and is now Town Supervisor.  He has made two visits to his 
native land since his settlement in Wisconsin, of which he may fairly be 
called a successful citizen.
