has for several years borne the reputation
of being ono OF the most energetic and
enterprising newspaper men in New York.
Although barely 81 years of age, he has

was born i'm Enfield Center, n. Y, about

Marshall, the author of this newspapers

rare talent for journalistic work of a

ester Papers he joined the staff of the

matte and descriptive articles, signed d.

very favorable attention throughout the
United States. He had n keen and uni

and instantly the proper way to procure it
and handle it, He was full of brilliant
ideas, and his energy and enterprise seem

He was christened Davis Edward Mar
