                   Iremember my grandfather only as an old man. He was unsteady on his feet and
would lean forward and try to keep his feet and legs going fast enough to stay
under his body. As he would walk down the hill to the farm buildings from the
house, he would occasionally not be able to keep the feet going and would fall
on his face. He would get up and keep on going. He was a farmer and a
carpenter, a skill he passed on to his decendents. He would sit in the evening
by the radio and was faithful to the Grand Ole Opre on Saturday nites. I used
to spend many evenings at the house of my grandparents. It was built by my
grandfather and was the house in which I was born. There was always a special
feeling of comfort while there. Upstairs lived Uncle Ralph, Aunt Thelma, and
cousin LeJean. He is listed on the church records as Joseph Eli Frederick
Marshall.
                  

                   He died of typhoid fever. He was very close to his brother, Fred. He never
married.
