Sends His Last Message.
Ebert Marshall, telegraph operator for
the Cen trail railroad in Savannah. died at
his home at Reynolds Sunday night, after
lingering illness of nearly four months. He
was attacked while on duty here and had to
be- sent home, where he remained until his
death. He was TWENTY-FIVE years of age
and had been in the employ of the Central
railroad for a number of years. He was a
long time operator in the Macon office, but
during the past few years he has
been in the Savannah Office. The road
had no more faithful employee, and in his
death it loses a good man. His place will
be hard to fill. He was one Of t most
rapid telegraphers in the city and had few
equals in the state. He was very popular
among the telegraphers all over the coun-
try and was esteemed by those of the officials
under whose charge he was. Mr.. L. B.
Marshall, chief clerk in the general freight
agents office, is a brother of the deceased,
and Mr.. G. B. Marshall, Central railroad
agent at Reynolds, is his father.
