an active capacity and two years in the reserve. The major part of this time he was stationed in Michigan and Alaska.

He married Eileen Beach of Seattle in December of 1959.

Survivors include the widow; two daughters, Debbie Kay, 6, Brenda Lee, 2 1/2 ; his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Herbert Marshall of Hawarden, and two brothers, Rodger of' Waterloo and Paul of Le Mars.

His mother returned to Hawarden by plane last Thursday after having been called to Washington by the critical illness of their son.
