The item below was discovered by Mary Pat Strong and her dad, Charles R. Strong during research in LaGrange Public Library. They were asked by a historian there if our Samuel Marshall was related to Thomas R. Marshall. It appears he was a great-nephew. Taken from "History of LaGrange (Lewis County, Missouri) Sesquicentennial, 1832-1982, LaGrange Historical Society, p. 18." Boyhood home of US Vice President: Thomas R. Marshall (1854-1925) lived in LaGrange 1858-60. Because his father was an abolishionist[sic] and he and he and his neighbors did not agree in this violent period of history, the family fearing bodily harm crossed the Mississippi at night in 1860. Later Mr. Marshall became a reform Governor of the State of Indiana, and a popular Vice-President of the United States under Woodrow Wilson, serving two terms. He was on the threshold of the Presidency when Woodrow Wilson suffered a debilitating stroke. He was an apt phrase maker and his quote "What this country needs is a really good 5 cent cigar" was widely quoted. Mr. Marshall returned to LaGrange as Governor of Indiana and prospective Vice-President of the United States on September 17, 1912. He was received by Missouri and Illinois state officials and a crowd of 3,500 people who gave him a tumultuous welcome. He served two terms as Vice President under President Woodrow Wilson. The older lady in the picture was Mrs. Carrick, a neighbor, who remembered Thomas Marshall. A more complete biography from Grolier's online encyclopedia is below: Thomas Riley Marshall, (1854-1925), the 28th VICE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. He was born in North Manchester, Ind., on March 14, 1854. He graduated from Wabash College in 1873, studied law, and was admitted to the Indiana bar in 1875, practicing his profession at Columbia City. In 1908 he was elected governor of Indiana; his administration was progressive. Several laws Marshall sponsored, including an employers' liability law and a child labor law, were enacted, but he failed to have a new state constitution adopted. At the Democratic National Convention in Baltimore in 1912, Marshall was the favorite-son candidate of Indiana for the presidency. When Woodrow WILSON was nominated for that office, Marshall was chosen for the vice presidency. Reelected in 1916, he served with Wilson until 1921. As presiding officer of the SENATE, he enjoyed much popularity, becoming known for his humorous remarks. In 1917, during a Senate debate on the country's needs, he said, "What this country needs is a good five-cent cigar." While Wilson attended the peace conference after World War I, Marshall presided over cabinet meetings, the first vice president to do so. During Wilson's serious illness, beginning in late 1919, Marshall considered the possibility of declaring himself acting president. But he decided not to do so, partly because he feared that his action would divide the country. He died in Washington, D.C., on June 1, 1925. http://gi.grolier.com/presidents/ea/vp/vpmarsh.html (Research): Census Listings: 1900 Census Indiana, Whitley County, Columbia Twp Enumerated 21 Jun 1900 SD 12 ED 113 Sheet 26B Jefferson 619-647 Marshall, Thomas R Head M W Mar 1854 46 m 5 Ind Ind Penna Attorney Marshall, Lois K Wf W F May 1873 27 M 5 0/0 Inda Inda Ohio Kimsey, Mortin Brother-in-law W M May 1889 11 S Ind Ind At school Kimsey, Edna Cousin W F Dec 1892 7 S Ill Ind Ill At school
