Gleanings From The Statesman Files A Marathon County History
In 1859 Marshall hosted a Whig state convention electing Stephen V. Trowbridge as president and James Wright Gordon for lieutenant governor. The piece notes five locomotives and a salary grid for the Central Railroad project, recounts county election results, and sketches local incidents including a perpetual motion machine exhibit, thieves in Albion, and a Decoration Day program with a detailed schedule and local participants. The chronicle also covers obituaries, family notices, and social events alongside agricultural and business reports in Calhoun County Michigan.
