Michael Martin MARSHALL

Family/Spouse: Clara Ann SZCZYGIELSKI. Clara died on 25 Mar 1965 in St. Louis County, Minnesota. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

A Robert David Marshall was born in St. Louis County on August 13, 1915, to a woman whose maiden name was Szczyaielski. His SS# was issued in Minnesota before 1951. That is the Robert Marshall who died in June of 1972 (apparently outside of Minnesota).

In the 1920 census, four-year-old Robert Marshall is the son of Mike and Clara Marshall of Duluth. Clara, 30, was born in Wisconsin to parents born in Germany. Mike, 33, was born in Minnesota to parents born in Ireland. He was a laborer for a roofing company. Robert had a 7 year-old sister Dorothy.

That family was still in Duluth in 1930 (as Mickle M and Clara Marshal). There was now a third child, Lorraine, 12, apparently missed in the 1920 census. Mickle is a foreman in a blacksmith shop. Dorothy, now 18, is a stock girl in a paint and varnish factory. Now Mickle’s and Clara’s parents were born in Poland.

Mike Martin Marshall registered for the draft in Duluth on June 5, 1917. He was a sheet metal worker for a roofing company and was married with a wife and two children. He had been born in Duluth on 15 Oct 1886 and lived at 4616 W Michigan St. He is probably the Michael M Marshall who died in St. Louis County on 20 Feb 1943. His wife is probably the Clara Ann Marshall who died in St. Louis County on 25 Mar 1965.

In the 1940 Duluth city directory, he and Gertrude live at 506 East 6th. His occupation is laborer. In the 1944 Duluth city directory, he is Robert D Marshall, wife Gertrude, a utilityman for the Division of Public Works. They live at 1616-1/2 East 6th.

In the 1940 census, he and Gertrude and Robert live at 505 East 6th Street in Duluth. He was a laborer for a public works project (and answered “yes” for Column 22). Robert had had 3 years of high school, Gertrude had had 1 year of high school.

His obit was published in the Newport News Daily Press on p. 6 of its 20 Jun 1972 issue.
