Mr William Marshall, who has been appointed Superintendent of the Canadian Pacific Railway's Telegraph at Toronto, was born at Garden Island, Ontario, May 18, 1859. Mr Marshall entered the service of the Dominion Telegraph Company at Toronto in 1876 as Assistant in the Stores Department, afterward serving the same company as operator and lineman at St Catharines. From 1878 until 1880 he was employed as Foreman of Line Construction by the Canada Mutual Telegraph Company, and from 1880 until 1886 by the Western Union Telegraph Company at Buffalo, New York. In 1886, he entered the Canadian Pacific employ at Toronto and was soon appointed Inspector for CPR Telegraphs [sic], which position he held until 1906, when he was appointed Superintendent of Construction. His present appointment is thus but a fitting recognition of long-continued services, which have always been rendered with complete satisfaction to his employing interests. Mr Marshall, being a regular attendant at the meetings of the Association of Railway Telegraph Superintendents, is personally well known in telegraph circles throughout Canada.
