Marshall, Charles - newspaper article 1994. Long-ago rail superintendent gave Ocean Springs its natural greeter.  Editor's Note: The Dart is a column in which a Sun Herald staffer throws a dart at a map and writes about the place where it strikes.  By Kat Bergeron The Sun Herald. 

 

OCEAN SPRINGS - Marshall Park is deserted on this blustery, overcast day.  The lack of humans however, creates no air of neglect.  The brick walkways, flower beds, stately trees and inviting wooden benches make the part the perfect greeter for downtown visitors.  The half-acre, grassy park sets the scene for a quaint shopping district that prefers to use word "shops" to "stores".  The Dart has landed this week at Marshall Park on west side of Washington Avenue, just south of the rail road tracks. Since its restoration in 1989 by the Historic Ocean Springs Association, the park has been the site of numerous festivals and picnics.  Of special note is the restored, old-fashioned bandstand.  Seems that during World War II when Coast housing was scarce, the bandstand was enclosed and used as a rental house on the Aunt Jenny's property. Eventually, it was restored and moved to Marshall Park.  So who was Marshall?  No one is around to answer the question, we se seek out nearby art gallery owner Larry Cosper.  "Our history researcher, Ray Bellande, wrote this," Cosper explains as he pulls a paper out of his files.  "This should answer your questions."  He was right.  The basic facts are this:  Col. Charles Marshall, born in 1848, started his railroad career as an operator, agent and dispatcher in Tennessee.  In 1866 he became a Louisville & Nashville superintendent in New Orleans, and seven years later moved to Bay St. Louis and commuted to his big-city job.  Marshall used his position of power to create parks near the L&N depots on the Mississippi Coast.  These spots of beauty, he believed, were important because trains were the main mode of transportation and the depots made first impressions on visitors  he died in 1928 and is buried in the Bay's Cedar Rest Cemetery.  Marshall's long-ago good deeds were forgotten before SOSA restored the park in 1989, as part of an on-going improvement project by business and community membership.  Now the Marshall name greets every downtown visitor who passes the attractive wooden sign in front of the park.

THE COLONEL CHARLES MARSHALL LETTERS

 

May 31, 1996

 

Hancock County Historical Society

 

Attn: Mr. Charles Gray

 

108 Cue St.

 

Bay St. Louis, MS 39520

 

Dear Mr. Gray:

 

  I surely did enjoy our conversation earlier this week in regard to Col Charles Marshall! I truly feel as though I know this man like the back of my hand.

 

  In reading these fragile letters of his, it was interesting to see how he showed genuine concern for his friends and family. How proud he was of his children!

 

  I also find it interesting as to how he spoke about change -- in not too positive of a note in the majority of instances and agree with his quote, "procrastination is the thief of time". How many times I have thought of his insights after finding this box of letters.

 

  In determining the origin of these letters, I have not a clue! The only common link that I can find is with a Brother Joseph Dutton with whom he served and worked with on the railroad.

 

   Brother Dutton and Col Marshall were great friends as is evidenced by the contents of the letters. All I know of Brother Dutton is that he worked with the lepers in Molokai with Father Damien. I do have additional information that I am anticipating receiving from Wisconsin as regards Brother Dutton.

 

   It's been interesting learning about "Chuck" as I have referred to him during the past year I can assure you. It was a true archaeological find for me in rummaging thru my family's attic and finding the letters. I've spent many hours attempting to find any information at all on him - apparently with no success.
