Rockdale, Milam Co., Tex., Jan. 19. -- J.P. Marshall died at the residence of his daughter, Mrs. Lillie Perry, in this city on Monday morning last, aged 68 years. He was buried Tuesday in the City cemetery. He leaves four children -- Mr. W.H. Marshall and Mrs. Lillian Perry of Rockdale, Mrs. Lola Jones of Cooper, Tex., and Mrs. Fannie Page of Tombstone, Ariz. Mr. Marshall was an old Texan, having resided in this state since 1835, and had been a constant reader of The News for nearly fifty years. . . . Prof. J.P. Marshall was born in Giles county, Tennessee, in 1831, removed to Texas in 1835, went to Richmond, Fort Bend county, in 1853 . . . In 1850 I taught my first school in Texas and have been continuously engaged in teaching ever since -- forty-five years. I claim to have taught longer in Texas than any teacher in the state. . . . I also claim to hold the first public free school certificate ever issued at Austin, signed by J.C. Degress. I was examined by R.H. Smith at Richmond, June 30, 1871, who told me that I was the first teacher who had applied to him for examination. . . . Dallas Morning News, January 21, 1899
