Death of Phillip B. Marshall
Phillip B. Marshall, a wifely known citizen of this city, died Wednesday morning at 3:30 o'clock at his home, 1721 Main street, after a brief illness. His death was due to complications resulting from adhesions in the abdominal cavity. Mr. Marshall was taking his annual vacation, and was not taken seriously ill until last Saturday, when his condition became alarming. All efforts on the part of his physician to bring about a condition when an operation would be possible were unavailing.
Mr. Marshall was born on a farm near Lexington, February 26, 1866. His whole life had been spent in this community, where he was well known and respected. He was appointed a rural carrier July 14, 1899. He was the second rural carrier appointed in the United States, and was the oldest in point of service. He was careful and painstaking in the performance of the duties pertaining to the service, besides accommodating to the patrons on his route whenever such accommodations did not conflict with his duties. He was honest in all his dealings and bore the good will of all who knew him.
Mr. Marshall was married April 15, 1903, to Miss Marie Coss. Besides his wife he is survived by one son, Clovis; his mother, Mrs. Minerva Marshall; three sisters, Mrs. James Catron, Marshall, Mo., Mrs. Ed Earl, Kansas City, Mo., Mrs. W.A. Eastabrook, Lexington, and Miss Fannie Marshall of California; three brothers, Fred of St. Louis, John of Chicago, and Charles of Kansas City.
Mr. Marshall was a member of the Methodist church of this city, and of the Woodmen of the World.
The funeral was held yesterday afternoon at 4 o'clock at the Methodist church. Rev. R.N. Allen assisted by Rev. S.O. Hall and Rev. H.M. Myers conducted the services.
