The Late Andrew Marschalk.
"Friend" in Natchez Democrat.
Two months ago another connecting link with the early history of Natchez passed away in the death of COL. ANDREW MARSCHALK. He was the son of Col. Andrew Marschalk, the better part of whose life was spent in Natchez, where he is still remembered vividly by the older inhabitants. Col. Marschalk, Sr., was a distinguished patriot and soldier during the Revolutionary War, serving under Gen. Washington. In 1801 he came from New York to Mississippi, and in that year established the first newspaper published in this State, and continued its publication until 1833. As a publisher and editor, Col. Marschalk die much toward the development of the South. His son, Andrew, was born in Natchez in 1817, and followed the profession of his father from early years. As a youth Andrew Marschalk was popular, a leader amongst his companions, and noted for his sincerity, earnestness, warm devotion to friends and respect for age. His veneration for his
father during his declining years was so marked it became a subject of comment. He was constantly engaged in journalism, and to him the press of this country is indebted for a life of energetic and intelligent
labor he voted to its cause. He was the founder of many newspapers, some of which are still in existence - monuments of his ability and enterprise.
