FEB 1852 - 22 Augl 1910) The Hamline County
Journal published at Castlewood, S.D. contained the following,
which was taken from the obituary of Mary Shanks. "Mary Shanks was
born in Middle Sex Co., Province of Ontario, Canada, Feb. 28, 1852
and died at Castlewood, S.D., Aug. 22, 1910, at the age of 58
years, 5 months and 24 days. At the early age of seventeen she
married William Marshall at Port Huron, Michigan, Sept. 27, 1869,
the young people going to Greenwood, Clark County, Wis. for their
home building. In 1879 they removed to South Dakota, settling about
two miles west of the present site of Castlewood, in what was at
that time the unorganized county of Hamline. Much of the early life
of the deceased was spent in pioneering, but it is nearly always
true that those experiences enable one to endure as a good soldier,
and it was none the less true in this instance.
