The town records for the balance of the year 1833 show the faithfulness, and the amount of labor performed by the commissioners of highways in establishing roads. This was a work requiring good judgment and a firm purpose to serve the general public. The names of these excellent commissioners are indelibly written in the good and judiciously laid-out roads of this town, which, be it remembered, comprised the county of Calhoun. As the towns of Milton and Marengo were organized in 1833, no further mention of the town of Marshall will be made in this place.
