The Minnesota commandery of the
Loyal Legion met last evening and
adopted the following memorial for
their departed companion:
William Rainey Marshall. member of this
commandery, was born in Boone county, Mis-
souri,. Oct. II, 1925, and died at Pasadena,
Cal, on the 8th day Of January. 1885.
His life has been one of great activity and
usefulness At all times and under all con-
ditions he has taken an active interest in all
public affairs, and made himself thoroughly
familiar with the condition of all classes of
his fellow citizens. He was in early life
common laDOrer IN the mines or Galena; was
one of several surveying parties engaged in
the survey of the public lands in Minnesota;
he was merchant in the iron trade, bank
er in the most trying and financial period in
the Northwest, editor of the leading pa
per OF Minnesota; soldier in the Indian
war and the War of the Rebellion; governor
or the state Of Minnesota; railroad commits
sioner, and filled many minor places of pub
lie trust. In all positions and in the dis
charge of all duties he exhibited the
self-abnegation, and the same devotion to the
QntieS-Ze91
in the promotion of the welfare of all. He
possessed an earnest and impulsive nature,
which gave him strength and efficiency a
soldier when engaged in battle, especially,
and increased his influence and power as a
citizen and civil officer. His convictions were
strong and his efforts to impress them upon
others were constant and earnest. In the
public service he made failures, either as
a civil or military officer. His conduct in
battle was gallant to the last degree and at
the same time judicious and fruitful of the
best results with the slightest loss. Notwith-
standing his strong and vigorous nature he
was sympathetic in the highest degree and al
ways striving to aid the more unfortunate Of
his fellowmen equally ready to help the low
est est criminal or most distinguished friend
When he had learned that human being
needed assistance he had no further Dues
lions to ask, but would do all In his power
to afford needed relief
He was born on the extreme frontier be-
fore the herds of buffalo had left Missouri
and his whole life was spent among frontier
people in frontier state and he was one
of the highest and best types OF the class
of men that the conditions of the frontier
have developed in this country. His highest
aim was to injure no one, and to aid as far
as possible every one, to discharge every
duty imposed upon him to the best of his
ability; In looking back over his public life
no failure, and shortcomings can be dis
cerned. No purer, truer life. or a life richer
in results can be found in the Northwest than
that ta OF our deceased COMPANION;
Resolved That the commandery in the
death of William Rainey Marshall recognize
the loss Of one Of the bravest and best of
the soldiers of the war; pure patriot, wise
statesman and most valuable citizen.
Resolved, That tender to the relatives OF
the deceased our sincere coincidence in their
affection.
