Bio
Frances Bartak Marshall was born in Sestroun, Selcany, Czechoslovakia, November 25, 1864. She was the eldest child of John and Mary Bartak. With three years old, she came to America with her parents. The family settled on a homestead in Iowa. Four years later, they went to Chicago, Ill. Here Frances attended school. She witnessed the great Chicago fire in 1872. In the spring of 1875, the family moved to Pocohantas county in Iowa. The Bartaks came to Sioux City with other emigrants and crossed into Nebraska in 1880, settling on a farm eight miles west of Verdigre. Here Frances grew to womanhood. For a time, she was employed by the Indian Department of the U.S. Government in the school for girls at the Santee Reservation. On Dec. 31, 1882, she was married to Louis Marshall. The couple settled in the Pischelville community, where they lived for 17 years. In 1899, the Marshall's purchased a farm in the Stony Butte area. Here they lived for 36 years. In 1935, they retired from active work, moving into Verdigre. On Jan. 14, 1949, Mr. Marshall passed away. Mrs. Marshall passed to the great beyond at the age of 84 years, 3 months and 10 days, Saturday, March 5, 1949.
