In the sudden death of Samuel A. Marshall, prominent coal dealer and former O.&W. railroad employee, this city [Norwich, Chenango Co., NY] lost one of its highly respected and most substantial citizens Saturday afternoon. Attacked at his coal office about 11:30 Saturday morning with what developed to be heart trouble, Mr. Marshall was able to summon Dr. Leslie T. Kinney, his family physician. Dr. Kinney took Mr. Marshall to the latter's home at 145 East Main street, ordered him to bed, and prescribed a treatment for his condition. Within an hour's time, however, Mr. Marshall suffered another heart attack, and expired and suddenly at 12:20 p.m. The deceased was born in Pratts Hollow, Sept. 5, 1874, but had been a resident of Norwich for 37 years. He served the O.&W. railroad as train dispatcher for a period of 23 years, and from 1921 to 1924 was station agent of the company at Bouckville. When he retired from the employ of the O.&W. he entered the retail coal business in this city, an establishment he successfully conducted for a period of 13 years. Mr. Marshall was an active business man all his life. When he was engaged in the railroad business he was efficient and careful, performing his duties with marked ability. After he became identified with the coal business he gave strict attention to this line of endeavor, was zealous and painstaking in looking after his customers. He was quiet and unassuming by nature, was well liked, and possessed those fine qualities of citizenship which earned him many friends. The deceased was a member of the Norwich Club and the Norwich Club Bowling Association. He was an active bowler and participated in tournament matches whenever his team was scheduled to play. He was also a member of Norwich lodge, F.&A.M., and the O.&W. Veterans' Association. His sudden demise is a shock to his family and numerous friends, and widespread sorrow is felt by all at his passing. Besides his wife there survive four children. Dr. Charles J. Marshall of Binghamton, Attorney J. Richard Marshall of this city, Miss Lois A. Marshall, teacher at Munnsville and S. William Marshall, teacher at Meridian. He also leaves three brothers and three sisters, Jay Marshall and Miss Jeanette Marshall of Pratts Hollow, Dr. Charles W. Marshall of Brewster, Lorenzo J. Marshall of Morrisville, Mrs. Lois Block of Pratts Hollow and Mrs. Laura Gill of Morrisville.
