the family. Four sisters and two
brothers survive him.

Marshall. To this union one son and six
daughters were born. The son, Wilbur
Marshall, and four daughters, Eunice, Maude, Georgia and Eleanor live in the
town of La Grange; Mae, Mrs. Raymond
E. Dixon, lives in Lexington, Virginia. Lula Vera died in
infancy.
There are
two grandchildren, Mrs. Charles A. George of Lexington,
Virginia and Robert B. Dixon of Washington, D.C.
In his early life George united with the Presbyterian
Church in Nebraska
and served as a deacon. Later he
transferred his membership to the Methodist church in Tomah.
Mr. Prickett taught school
for a time, was a business man, and since coming to Wisconsin had been a farmer. He served the community as town clerk for a
number of years.
