The state-line herald. (North Lemmon, Adams County, N.D.) 1907-1912, 1911-02-17
Prominent Pioneer And
Newspaper Man
'Sippit Away

Friday evening of last week, |
Feb. 10th, at 1925, occurred the
death of Marshall II. Jewell, at
his home at Bismarck With his
death another pioneer and prom
inent figure among North Oak
otans leaves the stirring scenes
of life. And in him North OAK
ota and the newspaper fratern-
ity have lost one of their most |
respected, and, wherever he was
known, truly beloved lights. |
For 80 years Marshall H. Jewell
was resident of Bismarck, and
as such and as its representative
newspaper man, identified with
every phase Of the city's upbuild-
ing, as we'll as the upbuilding of
the state as it centered in that
city. Energetic and clear sight
ed, he ever was in the forefront
of progress and development,
and even now, when death clos
ed his career at 63 years of age,
there is genuine mourning and
sorrow at Bismarck for the loss
of the man who will deeply be
missed along the many avenues
Of activity in which his firm hand
was ever busy doing and benefit
ing.
Fairly healthy throughout his
life and endowed with a constitut-
ion that seemed we'll to meet the
nerve racking demands of a
newspaper mans occupation, it
was about half a year ago that
he began to fail. Overwork
and the anxieties incident to his
business affairs brought on an
acute state of illness which PROV
ed to be enlargement of the
heart. The gravity of his all
ment was such that there could
be but little hope for his recov-
cry. Death came silently and
! suddenly, as the twanging of the
bow that sends death S shaft
with lightning speed, severing
the cords OF life in a twinkling.
Thus passed Marshall H. jewell,
for over thirty years chronicler
of the development of the Oak |
otas.
We quote from the Bismarck
Tribune the following:
He was not ostentatiou-. He knew
hypocrisy and despised sham. He
would not have wished a fulsone
enlogy. No euIogy IS necessary for
him beyond the work he has done for
the city of Bismarck, for the state,
and for his fellow citilens History |
Viii place him in clear porspcctive |
Time will give him the credit and
honor he deserves. in his helping to-
ward the upbuilding Of great com
InonweaIth from a frontier. In tie
hearts and memories Of his friends he
Will hold a place where love ablde~ and
loving recollections linger. He would
have asked for nothing more.
There is, in the hearts Of his friends

coming. his work and his passing

and his debt due to nature. Yet it is
Inevitable that those who lived with
