tended account of the death in Milwau-

shall, AN aged and highly respected resi-
dent of that city. Mr.. Marshall married
in 1857, Miss Emma Hagar of Middle

older residents of Middlebury will re-
member Mrs. Marshall, as she had several
relatives here:
Samuel Marshall, founder of the Mar.
shall & !lsley hank and the oldest banker
in Milwaukee, died yesterday at his home,
40 Prospect avenue, at the age of 81
years, after an illness of five weeks. An
attack of kidney trouble, accentuated by
old age, was too much for the veteran
banker, and after sinking gradually for
the last week he passed away quietly at
4 :l5 o'clock yesterday morning.
FAMILY AT DEATHBED.
Miss Elizabeth Marshall, his daughter,
and two sons, Charles |. Marshall of
Everett, Wash, and Prof. W. S. Mar
shall of Madison. together with the fam
lily physician, DIR. F. d. Brooks. were at
Mr.. Marshall's bedside at the time Of his
death.
Samuel Marshall had been a prom-
nent figure in the business life of Mil
waukee for more than half century.
He was born at Concordville, Delaware
county, Pa, Nov. 90, 1920 His father,
Samuel Marshall, was a well known and
highly respected farmer and the family
was one of the oldest in Pennsylvania.
1t was founded by Thomas Marshall,
who settled at Concordville in 1888. at
the time William Penn was laying out
the city of Philadelphia. In 1926 Thorn
as Marshall erected at COncordville a
brick house which is still in the posses
sion of the family, and in which all the
direct ancestors of Samuel Marshall have
been born.
WORKS IN HARDWARE STORE.
Mr.. Marshall received only a prepara-
tory education, Attending a boarding
school at Westlawn, Chester county, Pa.
during the winter of 1888 1884. and at
Belmont academy near Philadelphia dur
ing the following winter. He was APP
prenticed the same year to a hardware
merchant in Wilmington, Del, and at
the end of his term he secured employ
ment in Il hardware store in Philadel-
pha.
In lS41 Mr.. Marshall came to Milwau-
kee, and with a few thousand dollars
left him by hls father, who had died in
1882, he started banking business at
what is now the southeast corner of HUI
ron and East Water streets. He rented
one-half of store, the other part of
which was occupied by a shoemaker
The business prospered and two years
later Mr.. Marshall admitted the late
Charles F. Ilsley into partnership. The
bank became known as the Marshall &
Isey bank. 1t was made state bank
in 1897. and is the oldest bank in contin-
uous existence in the northwest.

Gentlemen:
The youn9men employed to handle
your business have appealed to me,

much to ask? Will your losses be
out of proportion to their gains?

full, and will ceptinue to be, whether
they get holiday or not; but they
feel like that such could be granted
without loss to anybody. Not being
a business man, am not in position
to decide this, bEt am sure from what
know of yoYas business men and
citizens, thattthe request will be
granted if ySu can consistently do so.
Those who have spoken to me
would like to know as early as pos
sible how you feel about the matter,
and so wiz have a petition circulated
not later ian Monday. If business
is not too pressing, let's all have a
good rest. or agood hunt, or a good
