An Elderly William Kelker Marshall

William Kelker Marshall (1829-1911) was the first son of John Marshall (1803-1889) and Charlotte Kelker (1800-1854). He was born in Butler, Butler County PA and reared in the environs of present-day Parker, Armstrong County PA. He joined his father-in-law as a lumberman in Washington Township, Jefferson County PA in about 1855. He and his wife, Anna Mary Rumbarger (1838-1924) had twelve children—six sons and six daughters. From about 1878 or so, the family made its home on East Main Street in Reynoldsville, Jefferson County. To the best of my knowledge, the only descendants of his grandparents (John Marshall and Catharina Truby Rohrer Marshall) still to have the Marshall surname come through William K. Marshall’s line. This photograph of him as an old man was kept by the family of his son, Henry Frank Marshall, of Carson, Washington, and is shared by Judith Ingram Tebbs, his great-granddaughter.
