Aged Newton Woman Dies
Mrs. Mary Marshall was 93 Years of Age; Funeral Services Monday Afternoon.

Mrs. Mary Marshall, one of Newton's oldest residents, died this morning at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Sarah V. Hickman. She was 93 years of age.

Mrs. Marshall was born in Maryland, March 11, 1833, and was married to Mr. Marshall, Oct. 9, 1856 (sic 1851), in Perry county, O. While her husband was serving in the army during the Civil war, Mrs. Marshall carried on the farm work in addition to caring for her children. In 1876, the family moved to Jasper county and built a home on a farm two and one half miles southwest of the city.

Mr. Marshall died Jan. 2, 1895, but his widow continued to make her home on the farm until February, 1924, when she came to Newton to make her home with her daughter, Mrs. Hickman, who has cared for her since that time. Mrs. Marshall was the mother of 12 children, six of whom survive her. They are: Mrs. Valura Brock of Prairie City, Mrs. Tilsie Helphrey, Mrs. Sarah Hickman, Lincoln, Sheldon and Charles Marshall all of Newton.

News Item

A SAD SUICIDE. -- Tuesday morning our people were shocked by the news that Miss Rosa Marshall, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Emery Marshall, living about 3 1/2 miles souhtwest of this city, had committed suicide. The facts as we learn them from Dr. Engle, are that the young lady had become despondent, Tuesday morning about eight o'clock, she had repaired to an out-house, and her continued absence led one of the family to go and look for her, where she was found her life blood streaming from a gash in her throat and another on her wrist, made by a razor.

She was conveyed to the house, and Dr. Engle summoned, but her hand had accomplished its work and she died in about two hours. The young lady was about 18 years of age--a bright and promising young woman upon whom the love of parents and friends had been lavished. She was perfectly conscious to the last, expressed no hope to live but rather wanted to be allowed to die. It is a very sad affair and one that calls for the sympathy of everybody. ~ Newton Journal, August 21, 1889.
