The south part of Monett was built on land which was originally a part of the Marshall farm and is known as Marshall Hill. Mr. Marshall came to this country as a homesteader in company with a number of other families from Tennessee. They made the trip in wagons drawn by oxen. After selecting their claims they built log cabins and began to open out farms. They lived the simple life of the pioneer. Farming implements were of the simplest sort, such as the wood beam plow, the reap hook and the scythe. Most all of the clothing for the family was made at home in those days and the old time loom, spinning wheel, the cobblers bench, were common articles of furniture found, in most every home. All of the hardships necessarily experienced by the pioneer were experienced by Mr. Marshall and those who came with him in the early days to build homes in this county. When the civil war came up he entered the union army. After he war he settled permanently on the farm where he died. The funeral was held from the Baptist Church in Monett Sunday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock, conducted by Rev. L. A. Smith. Interment was made at the I. O. O. F.
