In 1850 he was appointed professor of mathematics at Indiana University, and three years later removed to Baltimore, where he engaged in the practice of law. He served on General Lee's staff throughout the Civil war, and re- sumed practice at Baltimore after peace was restored, attaining very high standing as a lawyer. He married (first) December 18, 1856, Emily Rosalie Andrews, daughter of General T. P. Andrews, of the United States army, and his wife, Emily Snowden. He married (second) December 12, 1866, Sarah R. Snowden, daughter of Thomas and Ann Rebecca Snowden, of Maryland. His chil- dren were : Emily, married Judge Somer- ville P. Tuck ; Hudson Snowden, mentioned below ; James Markham, mentioned below ; Robert Edward Lee, Harry Taylor, Charles Alexander.

Hudson Snowden Marshall, son of Colo- nel Charles and Sarah R. (Snowden) Mar- shall, was 'born January 15, 1870, in Balti- more. He prepared for college in private schools of that city and EUicott City, Mary- land. Entering the University of Virginia, he was graduated in 1890, and subsequently pursued a law course at the University of Maryland Law School, from which he re- ceived a degree in 1894. He was admitted to the bar at Baltimore in 1894 and at once began practice there. For two years, 1894 to 1896, he was assistant United States at- torney there, and resigned at the end of that period to engage in private practice in New York City, where he has since remained. For two years he was associated with Se- ward, Guthrie & Steele and later with the firm of Weeks & Battle, consisting of Bar- tow S. Weeks and George Gordon Battle, two very prominent attorneys of New York at the present time (see Battle). This firm was later Battle & Marshall, H. Snowden Marshall being the junior partner. Subse- quently James A. O'Gorman, now United States senator, became head of the firm, which is now O'Gorman, Battle & Marshall. For the last ten years Mr. Marshall has been very actively engaged in the trial of cases

before the courts, since May, 1913, in the capacity of United States district attorney. The above named associations naturally in- dicate his sympathy with the present na- tional administration and place him politi- cally. He is a member of the City Bar As- sociation and the New York County Law- yers' Association, and is affiliated with sev- eial clubs, including the Calumet, St. Nich- olas, New York Athletic and Lawyers'. With his family, he attends St. Timothy's (Protestant Episcopal) Church.

He married, February 27, 1900, at Savan- nah, Georgia, Isabel Couper Stiles, a native or that city, daughter of Robert and Mary (Couper) Stiles, and granddaughter of Wil- liam Henry Stiles, minister to Austria be- fore the Civil war. The Stiles family is one of the most noted in Georgia.

James Markham Marshall. James Mark- ham ^Marshall, son of Colonel Charles and Sarah R. (Snowden) Marshall, was born August I, 1871, in Baltimore, and received his primary education in private schools of that city, and in Virginia. After two years at Bellevue, Virginia, high school, he entered the University of Virginia, grad- uating from its academic department in 1893. In June of the following year he was graduated from the law department and was immediately admitted to the bar in Baltimore. He continued in practice in that city until 1903, when he removed to New York City. In 1906 he located on Broad street, in that city, as a member of the law firm of Underwood, Van Vorst & Hoyt, which is now the firm of Van Vorst, Marshall & Smith. The firm carries on a large general practice, making a specialty of corporation law. Mr. Marshall is a member of the Association of the Bar of New York, and of the New York State and American Bar associations. He is also a member of the University Club, the St. Nicholas, Mid- day and Ardsley clubs. His home is in Man- hattan borough, and with his family he at- tends the Protestant Episcopal church. While an earnest Democrat in political prin- ciple, and acting in support of its policies, he has never sought or desired any political preferment. He married, February 15, 191 1, Helen Denison, a native of Baltimore, daughter of John M. and Augusta (Pearce) Denison.
