    • Lawyer Follows Father to the Grave After an Illness of Several Weeks.
      Elmer Marshall, an attorney, died at 1:20 o'clock yesterday afternoon, at his home, 1013 English avenue. His father, Firman Marshall, for thirty years a travelling salesman for a Richmond firm, died Jan. 19, and it is thought that worry over his father's death, and the nervous strain Mr. Marshall underwent during his parent's illness, hastened his own death.
      Since he was 16 years old, Mr. Marshall had been a student of law. He entered the law office of D.M. Bradbury in this city soon after he had completed his studies in the Indiana Business College, and afterward became partner.
      He formed a partnership with James Cropsey, who was at that time regarded as one of the best criminal lawyers in the state. Later Mr. Marshall entered the office of Henry Seyfried as his partner. About three years ago Mr. Marshall formed a new partnership with Gay R. Estabrook, which was broken by the death yesterday.
      Mr. Marshall was born in Lawrenceburg, Ind., and came to Indianapolis with his father's family when he was 8 years old. This city had been his home since then.
      One month ago he became so ill that he was compelled to give up work and remain at home. His condition became steadily worse until his death yesterday. He was 40 years old. He leaves a widow and one daughter, Dorothy. He is survived also by one sister, Miss Ruth Marshall. A private funeral service will be held tomorrow afternoon at the home on English avenue, and the burial will take place in Crown Hill Cemetery.
