Wonder where "Maynard" was in 1871?
This is, of course, the W. F. Marshall, Sea Captain, mentioned in Mary's obituary.
William Freeman Marshall built a ship called the "Keswick" at Bear River, Digby County, Nova Scotia, launched in 1882, certified on 18-May-1882. She was a beautiful ship! She was mastered by Charles W. Gilliat.C
Co-owners were William, as well as Lorenzo Henry Vaughan, Thomas Allen Vaughan and Robert Martin Vaughan, all of Saint John, NB. She was sold "to Foreigners" (Norwegians) on 28-Oct-1891, at Antwerp, Belgium. She was renamed the "Allegro" and rem ained under Norwegian registration until @1907. She was 173.5 feet long, 36.4 feet wide, and her depth at the hold was 21.5 feet.
Is the following record the right William?

Notes: Baptist paper: Messenger and Visitor: 1891, Aug. 1891:
Marshall -------- Suddenly at Bear River, July 7th, Mrs. W.F. Marshall. Her death
was occasioned by heart failure, and occurred while sitting in her chair. Mrs.
Marshall was a native of Bridgetown, where she was born in 1820. Her maiden name
was Mary A. Marshall. Since her marriage to Capt. W.F. Marshall of this place she
has resided in Bear River. Converted to God in her early life she was not
baptized until after her marriage when she was baptized into this church by Rev. Mr.
McLean who many years was a pastor here. Mrs Marshall was the mother of four
children. Two of these survive her. Of reserved temperament and possessed of a
meek and quiet spirit, she adorned well her Christian profession. Her memory is
fragrant. Much sympathy is felt for the bereaved husband and daughters in their
sad and sudden bereavement.
