New Castle News, December 16, 1931
Mrs. Genevieve Cunningham Marshall, wife of David M. 
Marshall, one of the best loved women of Lawrence County, 
passed from this life this morning at 3:40 o'clock at her 
home in Wampum, following an illness of some time.  While 
not unexpected for some time, her death comes as a shock not 
only to the members of her family, but to the entire 
community in which she resided and to the many friends that 
she had throughout Lawrence county.

     Mrs. Marshall was born in New Castle, March 16, 1866, 
the daughter of James W. and Angeline Myers Cunningham, and 
was 65 years of age.  Her family was on of the more 
prominent of the county, her father being county treasurer 
for a period of time.

     She and Mr. Marshall had been married forty-two years 
and had been residents of Wampum for the past thirty-five 
years.  Mrs. Marshall had spent her entire life in Lawrence 
county.

     As a member of the Presbyterian church she was 
associated with the congregation of the Wampum Presbyterian 
church, practically all her life.  She was most active in all 
phases of the work of the Wampum Presbyterian church, being 
untiring in her efforts to advance the interests of the 
congregation of which she was a member.  When her health 
became such as to prevent her active attendance in meetings 
held at the church, the hospitality of her home was extended 
and often the meetings were held at her home on Beaver 
street, Wampum, that she might be with her friends and 
co-workers in the church.  She was also a member of New 
Castle Chapter No. 105, Order of Eastern Star.

     Her death leaves a vacancy in the life of Wampum that 
will be hard to fill, as she was known for her kindly smile 
and helpful words by all, and especially for children whom 
she loved and made much of.

     She was the last surviving member of the family of the 
late James W. Cunningham.  Besides her husband, she leaves 
the following children:  Mrs. Lulu Marshall Davis and Mrs. 
Margaret Marshall Dahl, both of Ellwood City, Mrs. Emma 
Marshall McIllvenny, of Bessemer, Charles Marshall of 
Sharon, and Harold Marshall of Wampum, also eleven 
grandchildren.

     Funeral services will be held Friday, December 18, 1831 
at 2 p.m. in the Wampum Presbyterian church with her pastor, 
Rev. J. G. Bingham in charge.  Burial will be made in Oak 
Park cemetery.
