Thomas Keith Marshall was born on August 3, 1870 in Kansas. After leaving home he traveled around the country, working first as a farm laborer, then a miner. In 1899 he ended up at the University of Arizona where he enrolled, at the age of 29, in the preparatory department because of his lack of a high school record. While at the University Tom played on the first football team ever fielded by the University of Arizona and found a job on campus as a gardener and laborer. Tom also became an avid photographer during this time. In 1903 he began working as a maintenance man for Professor Louise Foucar and she soon named him manager for her growing real estate holdings. He left the University in 1903 without ever earning a degree. In 1904 Tom proposed marriage to Louise and she accepted. They were quietly married in El Paso. Early in their marriage the Marshalls worked on several joint business projects together. In the early teens, Tom and Louise began to grow apart and each became more engrossed in their own pursuits, in Tom's case journalism and then later, politics. He served as a delegate to launch the Roosevelt candidacy, and became active in Arizona state politics as a member of the Progressive Party. He became active in the temperance movement and enjoyed traveling all over the state to give talks on both Progressive politics and the temperance movement. In 1915, he wrote and published a 73 page book entitled, Prohibition in Arizona: The First Six Months of Prohibition in Arizona and its Effect Upon Industry, Savings and Municipal Government. Just after midnight on April 27, 1931 Louise Marshall shot her husband with a small caliber pistol while he lay sleeping. Tom was immediately taken to a local hospital and then later transferred to a hospital in Los Angeles, where he developed an infection after an unsuccessful operation to remove one of the bullets. He died on May 20, 1931.
Documents and photographs, 1888-1972 (bulk 1900-1953). This collection is comprised of documents relating to the lives of Louise Foucar Marshall and her husband Tom Marshall. The bulk of the material consists of her personal correspondence and memorabilia, documents relating to Tom's death and Louise's trial for his murder in 1931, and to the Marshalls' real estate holdings. Louise Marshall was instrumental in the development of numerous residential properties and businesses in the area surrounding the University of Arizona. The collection includes personal letters, diaries written by Louise and Tom Marshall, journals and business letters, and books and pamphlets collected by Louise Marshall. Official documents and correspondence relating to the non-profit foundation, the Marshall Charitable Foundation, are also included here. This collection also includes many photographs taken by Tom Marshall of the University of Arizona and the city of Tucson in the early years of the 20th century, which include university buildings, Tucson hospitals and sanitariums, and street scenes, as well as images of Louise, Tom and their family and friends. It also includes a T. Roosevelt 1912 Progressive ticket battle flag. This series consists of various items including mounted photographs, account books, Louise F. Marshall's diplomas from the University of Denver, Louise and Tom's marriage service book, and a Teddy Roosevelt 1912 Progressive ticket battle flag.
