Biography
Marshall 's parents, and those in their family who were old enough, were baptized in 1835 , and Marshall was baptized in 1837 . They started west in 1846 and, when the call came for men to join the Mormon Battalion, Marshall joined along with other members of his family, including his father. He and his father continued the march west while the rest of the family was sent back to Pueblo with the sick detachment, and eventually on to Salt Lake City . Marshall and his father were discharged in California and returned to Salt Lake on 3 October 1847 . They remained a short time in Salt Lake City and then returned to San Bernardino at the request of President Young , to settle that area. He was small in stature, being only five feet three inches tall, of medium build with dark hair and hazel eyes. He was active in the church and in all community activities. After his retirement from the Battalion, he married and they moved to San Bernardino . He was crippled, having lost a leg in a threshing machine. He carved a leg and wore it the rest of his life.
