Col. J. Q. Marshall Dead.
Columbia Record.
The death of Col. J. Q, Marshall of
Columbia, which occuried veaterday
at Buffalo Lithia Springe, Va., will
cause general regret throughout the
state. Col. Marshall was widely
kuoun and was held in the highest
esteem. He was a noble, patriotic, upright
South Carolinian.
Col. Marshall had been in ill health
for several years, suffering from kidney
trouble and iheumatism and his
heart was involved, so that it was
known to himself and to his friends
that he might at aDy tine die suddenly.
Nevertheless, as his health bad
recently been excellent, the news of
his death is a shock.

that can be ill spared. Just now he
was eugaged in a most important
work for Columbia, as he was chairman
of the street commission which
is struggling with the problem of
paving Main street and he had gone
into this work with his characteristic
energy and courage.
Tbe father of Quitman Marshall
was the gallant J. Foster Marshall of
Abbeville, the second colonel of Orr's
regiment, who fell at the first battle
of Manassas. Quitman Marshall was
born in Abbeville, but had lived in
Columbia since early manhood. He
was serving as a magistrate in Colum.
? ri
Dia wnen waue nnui|jiuu was
governor and it was he who administered
the oath of office to General
Hampton as governor. Young Marshall
had done fine service in the
Hampton campaign. He was at that
time prominent In the local militia
and iu social circles in Columbia. He
was appointed by Governor Richardson
.to serve an unexpired term as
secretary of state.
After this he returned to the practice
of law in Columbia and was very
successful at the bar. He was the
first president and one of the organiz
ers of the company which built the
first electric street railway in Columbia,
which was at first operated by
horse cars. His fight to maintain this
company was one of his most signal
service to the city and required ability
01 nrtti uruer.
In 1898 Col. Marshal] was elected
to the state senate from Richland
county, and was reelected in 190C
without opposition. He was not a
candidate lor a third term. During
his services in the senate he was chairman
of the commission to complete
the state house and only within the
last few months did be complete hie
work, the commission being continued
in power for several years. He
developed the matter which was
brought out in connection with the
work done on the capitol under the
supervision of Architect Milburn,
which was a sensation at the time.
His work on the state house commission
was another characteristic service

When the Columbia street commission
resigned several months ago, Col.
Marshall was elected by city council
and then was made chairman and
had devoted much time to this work
since that time.
