Herbert Lowery Marshall was the oldest of four children of Conrad Marshall and 2/w Mary Jean Steward of Urbana, Champaign County, Ohio. They moved several times before settling on land purchased from the Indians in 1866 north of DeSoto, Johnson County, Kansas. Conrad developed the Marshall Beardless Wheat on this farm that became well-known and much-used in eastern Kansas.
Herbert Lowery Marshall and Emma Ann Kennedy were married on November 6, 1879 at the home of her parents Thomas Walter and Martha (Dees) Kennedy in Johnson County, Kansas. They were the parents of George Walter, Emma Gertrude, Grace Lauretta, Mary Jane and Conrad Herbert Marshall, who were all born in Johnson County, Kansas.
Over the years Herbert worked as a farmer, a carpenter, a building contractor and the owner of several general merchandise stores. He opened stores in Holliday. Kansas, Orrick and Lexington Junction, Missouri and Gridley, Kansas. Each move expanded his growing mercantile interests. His final move was to Fort Cobb, Oklahoma, Indian Territory on February 8, 1902 where he and the boys opened their store in a tent while they built the H. L. Marshall Bargain Store. Emma and the girls stayed in Olathe, Kansas with her parents while the girls attended high school. When Emma and the girls were in Fort Cobb during the summer months, they lived over the store until Herbert and the boys could build a house for them in 1910. In 1917 Herbert and the boys used stone to build a new store on Main Street whose 4th wall was attached to another building. That store is still in use today.
Herbert was an avid hunter and fisherman. As he had been interested in bees since childhood, he kept bees every place they went. He had numerous hives in his vegetable garden behind the house he built in Fort Cobb. The family used honey for sweetening. They sold what they didn't need in the store. In his seventies Herbert collected stamps as a hobby. According to a newspaper article he had collected over 50,000 stamps by 1939.
On November 6, 1929 Herbert and Emma would be married 50 years. They celebrated their 50th Anniversary three months earlier so most of the family members could be there. The party was held on August 4, 1929. Those who attended were daughters Grace M. Riness and Mary Jane Machen, son Walter and his second wife Ruth Ellen McWhirt, grandson Roy Walter Machen, his wife Clara Sullivan (who evidently took the picture), and their 11 month old daughter Patty (b. 29 Sep 1928). Also in attendance was granddaughter Grace Alice (Machen) Potter with her husband Virgil from Dallas, Texas. Herbert and Emma's son Conrad and his family were unable to attend this momentous occasion.
After a long and productive life Herbert Lowery Marshall died in Fort Cobb, Oklahoma on November 17, 1949 at the age of 89 years, 9 months and 1 day. He was predeceased by his daughter Gertrude in 1934, his wife Emma in 1936 and his son Walter in 1938. He was survived by his daughters Grace M. Riness and Mary Jane Machen and his son Conrad Herbert Marshall.
