DIED-
On the Morning of the 12th inst., in the Borough of Stoystown of Typhoid Fever, Rogers Marshall, Esq., in the 52nd year of his age.
The following is given as the last tribute of respect to the memory of the deceased.
Mr. Marshall was a member of the Presbyterian Church, and adorned his profession by a consistant walk and conversation. To the doctrines of his Church he held with implicit confidence. Though he had his trials and imperfections in common with the best of men, and all men, yet his faith was unmoved by the essays of man. In this belief he lived and in it, as he once said he would, he died. The writer has been acquainted with the deceased for more than ten years and always found him warm and decided in whatever he espoused. Order, morality and temperance found in him a faithful advocate, as a Christian he was no bigot, no ranter nor enthusiast, but consistant, calm and uniform; as a man he was intelligent and firm, as a husband tender, as a father indulgent, and as a citizen useful--he needs no eulogy, no flattering encomiums to tell how he lived, or how he died. It is sufficient to know, that he died as he lived. He fell while yet in the meridian of life, while the powers of his intellect were yet in their prime and while life was yet buoyant in prospect. In his conflict with the last enemy, though insensible by times, yet he was sustained by the consolations of the Gospel. Though he may not have given any visible testimony of his interest in Christ at the close of his earthly career, yet he had the secret testimony of the spirit witnessing with his spirit that he died a Christian. He bore his sufferings with unshaken patience, and at last breathed upon a troubled world a final adieu.
Friends and connections are left to sing his funeral dirge, to pronounce his solemn obsequies, and to shed the tear of sorrow over his grave.
