Henry W. Marshall
Henry Wright Marshall Sr. (January 29, 1865 – January 31, 1951) was an American businessperson and politician. He is known for being the founder of the Lafayette (Indiana) ''Journal & Courier'', Speaker of the Indiana House of Representatives, and acting president of Purdue University.
==Business career==
Marshall was born near Springfield, Ohio, and graduated in 1883 from Union Business College at Lafayette, Indiana. He began his business career as a stationery salesman. From the 1890s to the 1920s, Marshall was a founder or president of companies related to bridge construction, road paving, public utilities, railroads, and grain storage.〔 As president of the Western Construction Company, Marshall was indicted in 1908 when an employee overcharged the city of Indianapolis for a paving job.〔
He purchased and consolidated the ''Lafayette Sunday Times'' and the ''Lafayette Morning Journal'' in 1914. In 1920 he merged them with the ''Lafayette Daily Courier'' to form the ''Journal & Courier'', which remains the main newspaper of the Lafayette area.〔 The ''Evansville Courier'' was another Indiana newspaper company that he bought that year; he sold it to Mayor Benjamin Bosse a few months later.〔 Marshall continued to be the ''Journal & Couriers editor-in-chief for the rest of his life, although he eventually passed the title of publisher on to his son, Henry Marshall Jr.〔
