sharp eye on his three young grandsons, Elven, Don and Harold, who lived with their parents at a home at the southeast corner of Fourth Street and Turner Avenue.

According to Marshall, the boys (ages 6, 4 and 2 in 1931) often walked down the alley and stopped by the jail on their way to get ginger snaps at the Snow White Grocery on Mountain Avenue. To their delight, their grandfather would lock them in jail for a few minutes before releasing them.

Marshall added that while his grandfather wore a badge and carried a night stick, he didn’t wear a uniform.

On April 14, 1931, L.Q. Rockwell replaced J.K. Marshall as Berthoud’s night marshal. Marshall and his wife along with his son, Gale, and his family moved to the foothills northwest of Fort Collins to cut timber to sell as “props” to the coal mines in the Carbon Valley (Erie, Lafayette and Louisville area).

The life suited Marshall who originally came from Nebraska to establish a homestead on Antelope Creek near Encampment, Wyo., as a young man.

From 1928 to 1931, Marshal Marshall knew Berthoud after dark better than any man. Whether he was arresting r rs or o s n fi re r c s e s e n o n from the time the sun went down to the time the sun came up.

And when a call came during the day to lend a hand to the day marshal, he did that too.

After all, the town board gave him an extra dollar a month to pay for daytime telephone calls that sometimes led to babysitting circus animals.
