The 1920 Federal Census for Highland Ward, Roanoke, Virginia, District 27, page 20A, dated January 12, 1920 records Dorathy M. Marshall (13 -VA) living with her parents Earnest C.

The 1910 Federal Census for Roanoke Melrose Ward, Roanoke (Independent City), Virginia, District 123, page 180B, dated April 20, 1910 records Dorothy M. Marshall (4 - VA) living with her parents Ernest C. (41 - VA/VA/VA) and Lillian R. (40 - VA/VA/VA) Marshall and siblings Gladys A. (10), Cecil E. (9), Reginald (7 - VA), and Lorraine F. (6) at 816 Third Avenue. Ernest and Lillian have been married for 14 years and have had 7 children of whom 5 are still living. Ernest is an Engineer for the Railroad. Also in the household is Ernest's sister-in-law Eva M. Witt (25). Note: The parents of Eva and Lillian are James E. and Fannie Witt of Bedford Co., VA. It appears that Eva is actually born ca 1875 in that the 1880 census has her as 5 years old not to mention the 1900 census has her born in June 1878 ... perhaps she was sensitive to being 35 years old and single.

Dorothy married Herman Ould Akers, son of William Eugene Akers and Charlotte Lina Howell Rutledge, on 31 Dec 1924 in Roanoke, VA. (Herman Ould Akers was born on 19 Sep 1903 in Concord, Appomattox Co., VA, died on 14 Jul 1973 in Roanoke City, Virginia and was buried in Sherwood Memorial Park, 1045 Lynchburg Turnpike, Salem, Roanoke Co., VA.)
