Saint, [Melvin Mansfield was born about 1905 and died in Pittsburgh of
pneumonia at age 5 on December 8, 1910. He was interred 2 days later in the
Saint family plot. He is probably the son of Ella Saint, daughter of James
Giles Saint and his wife Mary. One family researcher has her married to John B.
Mansfield, with no other information. The only reference to her found is the
1910 Pittsburgh census in which she is listed as a widow, age 45, with 3 sons,
James C. age 8, John B. age 6 and Albert M. age 4. All of the children were
born in Colorado], , (contributed by Diane Nichols)
Marshall, William, Section 3, Range 3, Lot 9 owned by William Marshall,
[According to Greenwood interments, the William S. Marshall in Section 3 was a
soldier. He joined the 155th PA Volunteer Infantry on August 22, 1864. After
taking part in almost all of the major battles during the war, he was mustered
out with the company on June 2, 1865. There are several William Marshalls all
over northern Allegheny County, all with varying dates of birth, so determining
which is which has been very difficult. This William Marshall was found in the
1870 Indiana Township census with wife Susan, and sons William and Andrew. In
1880 the family lived in East Deer Township where he worked as a plasterer and
is listed as being born in Ireland. He died in Midland, Beaver County, PA at
age 78. The 1920 census has a John W. Marshall in Midland whose father was born
in Ireland and worked with building supplies, so this may be a son of William,
and the home in which he died. William suffered from lobar pneumonia and was
buried next to his wife, Susanna who died in 1894. A son John who died in 1943
is also buried in the plot. William died March 2, 1920 and was interred on
March 4. If William ever had a tombstone, it is now gone. But someone in the
past had planted a rhododendron shrub on the grave. It is shaded by a tall
spruce tree], , (contributed by Diane Nichols)
Marshall, Alexander Marshall, (lot marker), 1841 – 1904, Section 2, Range 13,
Lot 5 owned by Alexander Marshall, [One family researcher lists Alexander
Marshall as born on August 1, 1842 in Mullaghtague, Armagh, Ireland to Thomas
and Rebecca Marshall. He married Isabella Morrow and immigrated to the US on
the ship “Alex Marshall” which left Liverpool and arrived in New York on June
30, 1869. He is listed as 26 years old, a miner bound for PA. With him was his
wife Isabella, age also 26, and their two daughters, Elisa, age 5, and
Isabella, age 3. In 1870 the family was in Pittsburgh’s 10th Ward and Alex was
listed as a laborer. His naturalization record was filed in Pittsburgh in 1872.
In 1900 they lived at #1530 Penn Avenue in the 10th Ward. They had a
granddaughter Jane and a grandson Alex in the home. Alex was a policeman. Also
in the house was daughter Eliza, married to William Spraul. Alex died in
Colonia, Pa according to Greenwood interment records at age 63 of intestinal
cancer. He was interred on August 8, 1904], , (contributed by Diane Nichols)
Marshall, Bella, (lot marker), His Wife, 1846 – 1915, Section 2, Range 13, Lot
5 owned by Alexander Marshall, [Isabella Morrow married Alexander Marshall in
Ireland. They immigrated on the ship “Alex Marshall” in June of 1869 to New
York City with two small daughters. They apparently came directly to
Pittsburgh, where they were listed in the 1870 census. By the 1900 census,
Bella, as she was listed, gave the census taker that she had given birth to 13
children, but only 4 were living. The 1880 census has not yet been found.
Isabella died on November 9, 1915 in Monaca PA of a fractured skull received in
an accident. She was 73 years old. She was interred on November 10, 1915], ,

Isabell Marshall, [James E L Marshall may be a grandson of Alexander and
Isabella Marshall of Northern Ireland and Pittsburgh. He was difficult to track
in census records, although he appeared in 1920 in Monaca, Beaver County, Pa
with wife Lena and her mother, Ellen Brush. He was born in PA and his wife in
New York. He was working as a furnace man in a steel mill. In 1930 he appears
in Toledo, Ohio with Ellen Brush, his wife apparently dead. He died in Monaca
on November 12, 1939 of toxemia and a lung abscess and was interred on February
15, although his name appears as James E. Linsinbigler], , (contributed by

is another wife, or just a mistake of names. Four boys in the family were all
born in Ireland with Thomas and wife. Three children were born to them in PA.

she and her sons, Wilson and Clyde were living on a farm on Kittanning Pike

and joined Company E of the 63rd Regiment of the PA Volunteers in December of
1861. During April of 1862 he laid in the swamps near Yorktown Virginia as the
regiment was bombarded by the Confederate Army. In May of 1862 the brothers
took part in the Battle of Fair Oaks. During the Seven Days Battle, on June
30, 1862, Cornelius was standing next to Thomas Lawrence of the 188th Battalion
Reserve Corps when an enemy artillery shell landed next to them. Cornelius was
instantly killed and Thomas badly wounded. Robert Millar went out looking for
his brother the next morning and found him dead. Robert carried Thomas back to
the Union lines and a hospital. Greenwood has no official record of Cornelius’
interment. The family may have regained some remains, but it is most likely

was commissioned as a first lieutenant. Four months after he joined, his
younger brother Cornelius also joined the company while it was training in

that defended the 118th Battalion of Union Artillery during the ebb and flow of
battle. On June 30, 1862 he noticed his brother was not on the retreated lines
of the company and received reports of men falling victims to Confederate
shells. He set out looking for him at first light and came upon his body and
that of wounded Thomas Lawrence, a member of the artillery company. Leaving
his brother behind, he carried Thomas back to the Union lines and accompanied
him to the General Hospital at Annapolis, arriving 3 days later on July 4th.
He continued with his regiment at the second Battle of Bull Run,
Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville and Gettysburg. He received a wound in his
left thigh at Petersburg and was relieved of duty after being judged unfit for
further service. After the war he was a clerk for the Deeds office in
Allegheny County, married Richmond Hagan in 1870 and was active in veteran’s
organizations. He researched and wrote the beginnings of the regimental
