It's nice that Alberta shared a family link. It's a shame the church will no longer be a physical link to our Civil War past. Stories of our past are so important.

His dad was Albert Earnest Marshall whose brother James Collier Marshall II were my grandfather and my great uncle. I am the last of that line actually born in St. Louis and and last child born in the direct line from James Collier Marshall. My dad had 2 girls only. My birth name is Alberta Lee Marshall. I live in Texas and gradaully am learning more about my relatives specially the Irish ones. This is interesting to learn more about the Civil War in Mo since my great great grandfather had slaves and in middle, Not in Confederate country but slave holder. I never felt free to say what side I had if any relatives fight in the Civil War until due to all this about he family to find my distant cousin was very much so in that war. I was always against slavery and the absubed idea the men owners said slaves were like children and had to be taken care . Funny how all the so called dumb child like slaves once freed all the white male landlords- master lost all they had because it was on the backs and inventions the black slaves did that made landlords-slave owners and live comfortable and rich. I know my great grea grandfather died in his sleep and before the Civil War ended. I am sure he was adimit to keep slaves and seen the war was winning the to free them so my instincts tell me he could not see his life without them to run his home without them and he died on account of that change forced coming onto him. Mo had the Mo compromise meaning they could have slaves and Illinois was free state. But no free slaves could live in Mo until after the Civil War. That was the compromise for Mo to have slaves. So not until the Civil are was over and long after my Great great grandfather's death were his slaves freed. My dad actually did live in the Fairfax House when a child and some as adult.
