The birthplace of John Marshall, Chief
Justice of the United States, at Midland,
was marked by a stone placed by the
members of the Marshall Chapter Of the
legal fraternity of the Phi Delta Phi,
which is composed of members of the
school of laws of the Columbian Unver-
sity and the Phi Delta Phi Club, which
is composed of graduate members Of the
SAME fraternity. The foundation of the
stone upon which the memorial stone
is to rest was laid at 1890 A. NJ. All
that is left of the birthplace of Marshall
is small heap of broken brick, the al
legged remnant of the chimney of the for
mer log cabin. The memorial is placed
on the site of the old chimney, on a
mound which can be seen from the
Southern Railway bridge which spans
Licking creek, being about 200 yards dis
tant from that point.
