GEORGE MARSHALL, occupies a finely improved farm in Dubuque Township, and ranks among the highly respected Citizens of Dubuque County, by reason of his intelligence, sterling character and reliable citizenship. He is an enterprising farmer prudently changing his crops in order to keep up the fertility of the soil, and devoting the greater amount of his land to grain, without neglecting other articles of produce. He raises graded hogs, cattle and horses, and his farm is well supplied with orchards and groves.

Mr. Marshall was born in Middletown, Pa., July 22, 1850, and is the son of Jacob and Mary Marshall, natives of Germany, who are still living, making their home on a valuable property located near the home of our subject. George remained on the farm until eleven years of age, when he went to Dubuque and attended school for some time. He was married November 29, 1875, to Miss Barbara Schuster, a native of Germany, and the daughter of Philip and Magdaline (Copemann) Schuster, also born in the Fatherland, whence they came to the United States in 1860, locating at once in this county. They are both deceased, dying at the respective ages of fifty-one and sixty two years.

To our subject and his wife have been born two children, Jacob and Emily, both at home. After his marriage Mr. Marshall purchased his present farm, which includes one hundred and sixty-two well-cultivated acres, where he is engaged in general farming. He is an ardent admirer of Republican principles, and never fails to cast a vote in favor of its candidates. He has served at various times as a member of the School Board, and is a consistent member of the Congregational Church, with which he has been, connected for some time.

Jacob Marshall, the father of our subject, was born in Wurtemberg, Germany July 6, 1825, and was the son of John George and Christiana C. (Harvey) Marshall, also born in Wurtemberg. The latter was a baker by, trade, and coming to the United States in 1831, first located in Buffalo, N. Y., where he worked at his trade, and later moved to Ohio, making his home in the Buckeye State for eight and one-half years. At the end of that time he removed to Pennsylvania, where he died at the age of seventy-five years. His good wife preceded him to the better land, passing away when in her sixtieth year.

The father of our subject was one in a family of three children, and has one sister living, bearing the name of Christiana. He remained under the parental roof until reaching his majority, when he learned the silk weaver's trade, working at it first in Pittsburg, Pa. In 1849 he married Miss Mary Rhinecleaver, who was born in Saxony, and was the daughter of John and Christian Rhinecleaver, who came to the United States about 1846, locating in Pittsburg, Pa., and about 1855 settling in Monroe, Wis. The mother died in Wisconsin and the father departed this life in Dubuque County. Jacob Marshall is well to do in this world's goods, and with his estimable wife is living retired on a valuable estate near the home of our subject.
