Tim bor old man, the true pioneer of Marshfleld, wan burled by tho road Hide Mid there ho lies. In the yenr above mentioned, t: e Marshfled mill was built by John Porshbnkor, n live business man; and tho new era of shipbuilding common" cd. The tug Escort was built, fol lowed by the construction of tho schooners Staghound, Louisa Morri son and Ivuihoe. After n Bhort per iod or Inactivity In that business n company of carponters built tho An nlo Staufer, n small schooner, and Mr. I'ershbakcr, n barkentlno, built by Jo' n Howett. who bv the wny built most of those mentioned aboyo, besides many other flno vessels at Xoith Rond. The building or th bnrkentlne which wa8 named tho Amelia, had the effect of suspending Mr. I'ershbaker's operations In Marshflold; yet, notwithstanding his failure In this locality, he Is the man w'. o must recolvo tho credit for first seeing and then developing this p!nc ns a business point. Ho possessed rinanclal genius, large administrative capacity, and, whllo his Indomitable energy may have led him at times beyond the limit of his means, still ho must be classed among thoso who produce grand results from small be ginnings, as the, present condition of Mils town will verify. To the laboror seeking work he never turned his back. Ho would find. him employ ment, and w' nt Is mord to tho point, ''o never nsked him to work for his boarJ, but paid hlirt a fair price for his labor. The mill having suspended opera tions, tho town kept on Improving, owing to the Influence of Its trado with tho coal mines and the farming population of. tho surrounding coun try. We hnvo not the date at hand, but thing It wns In '72 or '3, t'nt Messrs. Dean, Wilcox and Merchant purchased the Kscort nnj tho mill property from Messrs. Hountreo, Mc Mullen & Co., of San Francisco. As they obtained the property at a mo-', orate figure, It proved to be a real bo nanza. The mursh surrounding the mill, from which our town takes Its name, Is a worthless, wet patch of malaria. This has been covered with sawdust, nnd Is a fruitful source of rovenuc; but w' ether It Is a hoalthy location or not remains to be seen. In '74 the shipbuilding took an other start, commencing with tho Frl Miloff and Sunshine,' built by Daniel Holder. Tho Panonln, Laura May, .Tcnnlo Stella, C. II. Merchant, (low Perkins, J. 0.
