BERTRAND F. MARSHALL, M.D., a rising young physician of Gorham, this county, son
of the late Dr. Albert Q. Marshall, was born October 31, 1866, in the town of
Oxford, Oxford County, Me. His grandfather, Moses Marshall, was born, lived, and
died in Hebron, Oxford County, where he was numbered among the leading citizens
of the town, being prominent in business and in public life. He was the owner of
a saw-mill, and carried on an extensive business in lumber. To him and his wife,
whose maiden name was Ruth Whittemore, eight children were born, five of whom
are yet living; namely, Isaac, Miranda, Joseph, Moses, and Frank.

Isaac Marshall has been twice married. His first wife, Mahitable Carr, died,
leaving one child, Carr; and he subsequently married Lydia Keene, who bore him
four children, of whom two are living- Dr. N. M. Marshall and Mrs. Lizzie
Scribner. Miranda, wife of Robert Glover, has six children- Anne, Edward,
Albert, Frank, Carrie, and Nellie. Joseph Marshall married Vilona Jones, and has
one child, Abby. Moses Mason Marshall married Caroline Newton, and has three
children - Sylvester, Marion, and Elba. Frank Marshall married Anna Stowe, of
Marlboro, Mass., and has two children-Edith and Fanny.

Albert Q. Marshall was born in Hebron, August 12, 1837, and there received his
elementary education. After teaching school a number of terms, he attended Colby
University in Waterville four years, receiving his diploma in August, 1862. He
was then employed as a clerk in the Ordnance Office of the War Department in
Washington, D.C. ; and, after leaving Washington, he entered the medical
department of Bowdoin College, taking two courses there and one at Harvard,
graduating from Bowdoin in 1867. He at once began the practice of his profession
at New Gloucester, Me., and met with such good success that he there continued
his labors until his death, May 3, 1880. He was married to Miss Helen L. Dunn,
daughter of James Dunn, of Poland, in 1862, and of their four children - Louis
A., Harry F., Bertrand F., and Gertrude - two are now living - Dr. Bertrand F.;
and his sister, Gertrude A. The latter was born March 13, 1869, and is now the
wife of the Rev. C. D. Boothby, of Thomaston, Me. The father was a Republican in
politics, and, religiously, a member of the Congregational church. His wife,
however, was a Methodist in belief, belonging to the church of that denomination
in Poland, this State.

Bertrand F. Marshall learned his early lessons in the New Gloucester schools,
afterward pursuing his higher studies at Hebron Academy. Going then to Marlboro,
Mass., he was there employed as a book-keeper about four years, but utilized his
spare moments in studying medicine, for which he had a predilection. He took his
first course at the Portland Medical College, afterward spending two years at
Bowdoin College, going thence to Dartmouth, from which he was graduated in 1887.
Dr. Marshall began his professional career at Moultonboro, N.H., where he
remained a year. In 1888 he came to Gorham, where he has built up a good
practice, at the same time winning the confidence and esteem of the community.
Socially, he is a member of Oriental Lodge, No. 17, Knights of Pythias, of
Windham, and of the Improved Order of Red Men, Nagwaumkeag Tribe, No. 36, of
Gorham.

Dr. Marshall has been twice married. His first wife, with whom he was united on
January 1, 1888, was Minnie D., daughter of John Smith, of West Gray, Me. She
died December 23, 1892, leaving two children - Gladys V., born April 17, 1891; and
Orland S., born November 30, 1892. On June 4, 1894, the Doctor was married to
Miss Eva A. Smith, a sister of his former wife. She is a member of the Free Will
Baptist Church of Auburn, Me., as was her sister, the first wife of Dr.
Marshall.
