ROBERT E. MARSHALL.� Among the newer arrivals in Long valley 
who is a prominent and enterprising young man is Robert E. Marshall, who 
was born in Montpelier, Wyo., in 1884. the son of Elijah Marshall, who 
was a cattleman in Wyoming. From a youth Robert E. became familiar with 
the cattle business in all its details, becoming a splendid horseman and rider, 
and was thus able to assist his father and to ride the range. When seventeen 
years of age he began riding the range for other ranchers, and continued it 
for some years, until he began railroading. The discovery of gold at Gold- 
field, Nev.. found Mr. Marshall in that place soon after the first excitement, 
and he followed mining and prospecting, not only at Goldfield, but in Tonopah 
and Manhattan. 

In 1906 Mr. Marshall removed to the Moapa valley, Nev., where he was 
employed as forest ranger. In 1912 he came to California, locating at Layton- 
ville, where he started a livery and feed stable, as well as doing freighting 
and teaming, between Longvale on the railroad and Laytonville and on to 
northern Mendocino county points as far north as Bell Springs. 

Mr. Marshall's marriage in Tonopah, Nev., united him with Miss Carlie 
Perkinson, who was born in Moapa valley, Nev., and they have two children, 
Robert W. and Lucile. Personally Mr. and Mrs. Marshall are well liked and 
have made numerous warm friends in their new location.
