Natick honors Marshall brothers for World War II service

September 5, 2022 by Admin

Three Natick brothers who served during World War II were honored with a square dedication on Aug. 27.

Members of the Marshall family joined town officials in honoring Joseph, Robert and John Marshall with a sign at the corner of West Central Street and Boden Lane.

The sign is about a quarter mile from where the brothers lived at 196 West Central St.

Joseph H. and Robert B. Marshall served in the Army, while John F. Marshall served in the Navy.

According to Veterans Services Officer Paul Carew, this is the 58th sign dedicated to Natick’s veterans.

Robert’s grandson, Jon, is the town’s deputy town administrator.
