Charles R. Marshall, Columbia, KY (1929-2011)

A steadfast, exemplary life is complete.
Charles R. Marshall was one Adair County's most important 20th Century leaders.

He was twice Mayor of Columbia. He was a City Councilman. He served on the Westlake Regional Hospital Board of Trustees. He was a founding operator of City Tv, Columbia's first cable Tv service. He ran the Columbian Theatre for several years.
He was a charter member of Pinewood Country Club. He was a 50 year member of Masonic Lodge #95, Columbia, KY; and he was a long term member of the Columbia Kiwanis Club.
He was a longtime, faithful member of the Columbia United Methodist Church.
He will be remembered for many accomplishments and traits of strong character and good humor; but for none more than for his love of this city - his residence for 80 of his 81 years - and his devotion to his wife and their family.
He was a great Columbian.
