Marshall Hatfield of Soldiers' Home Served in Two Wars
Marshall Hatfield, a veteran of two wars in which his country was engaged, died at the Soldier's Home hospital Sunday morning at 8 o'clock, after an illness of valvular heart trouble.

Mr. Hatfield was 84 years of age, and had been in failing health for many years.

He has served during the Mexican war, but as he was not admitted to the Home because of that service, no record of his enlistment is officially known.

He came to the Home from McGregor Aug. 4, 1902, and was here seven months, and was readmitted on the 3d last.

Mr. Hatfield was a widower, and has no children.

The body will be sent to McGregor for interment, leaving at 5:30 this evening, and will be buried under the direction of the G.A.R. of McGregor, of which the deceased was a member. -- Marshalltown Times Rep. of Monday.
