HUSBAND NOTES:
Marshall grew up on a farm, and the love of farming was with him the rest of his life. He never farmed as an adult, but had gardens and
loved to hunt. He built the house in Corpus Christi, that we lived in when I was a little girl.
Marshall worked at different occupations prior to working for the Post Office. He did surveying as a young man. Marshall and Doris built
their first home in Corpus Christi on Ryan Street which is near the airport.
Marshall kept bees and had a honey extractor sitting on the front porch. He ordered the supplies for the bee hives from Sears & Roebuck.
They sold a wax sheet of combs to put into the racks that went into the hives. In the spring, bees got their pollen from Horse
Mint (Monarda) and the honey was very tasty as well as being a clear golden color. He then cut the honey that was stored in the wax,
out of the racks and jarred it in strips and sold it. The darker honey which followed, he normally allowed the bees to put in their own
made combs and extracted it in the large extractor. This he jarred and sold.
He hunted and tanned hides and sold that. We often ate wild game. He owned a trucking business after the war and before he went to
work at the Post Office.
When Marshall and Doris separated he worked at the Post Office. At one time, the family car was stolen from the parking lot at the post
office. The car was found burned up and the teenagers responsible were ordered to repay for the value of the car. Marshall and Doris
maintained a garden in Corpus Christi with strawberries and fresh vegetables. Marshall also fished and trapped crabs which he sold.
Marshall also started a business in Perma-Stone siding.
Daddy had a stroke in May, 1989. He spent most of the last ten years of his life in the Capitol City Nursing Home in Austin, Texas.
