A Solid Foundation. . The Marshall household was the last residence on West Main Street before crossing the small stream called Coal Lick Run. The home included a barn and what the family called "the orchard," a carriage house, four large apple trees, a brick spring house, "a very crude shack" where George kept his rabbits and, right outside his bedroom window, off the second floor, a grapevine. On summer mornings George "pull(ed) down bunches of delicious concord grapes"., (Photo Caption): The Marshall home was rented by the family. The house itself was torn down early in the 20th century. The West End Theater was built on the site. The location later became the home of Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) Post 47.
