17 American judge The Honorable Roujet D. Marshall Roujet DeLisle Marshall (December 27, 1847 – May 22, 1922) was an American lawyer and judge. He served 22 years as a justice of the Wisconsin Supreme Court (1895–1918). He was named after the writer of the French national anthem, La Marseillaise, Claude Joseph Rouget de Lisle. Born in Nashua, New Hampshire, in 1847 to farming parents, Marshall's family moved to Wisconsin in 1854 when he was 7. In the early 1860s however, his father was disabled, and Marshall had to take on most of the work on the farm while continuing his schooling and eventually attending college. After reading a biography of Constitutional lawyer William Wirt, he was inspired to go into law. Marshall was admitted to the bar in 1871, and worked with a lawyer in Sauk County, N.W. Wheeler. Wheeler soon moved to Chippewa Falls and Marshall joined him. Northern Wisconsin was then part of a vast white pine forest stretching across northern North America; Wisconsin’s portion of the forest was systematically logged out from about 1830 to 1910. In the 1870s the lumber industry was at its peak and Chippewa Falls was one of the centers of logging activity in the state, along with Eau Claire and Oshkosh. The town and its lawyers followed a casual, frontier-oriented culture; but Marshall, who believed devoutly in order and hard work, followed a different path. “The members From the Autobiography of Roujet D. Marshall, Volume 1. A distinguished figure in Wisconsin law circles for over forty years, Roujet DeLisle Marshall is in all probability is the oddest named individual to have served as a member of the Wisconsin State Supreme Court! A native of Nashua, New Hampshire, Roujet (or Rouget) D. Marshall was born in that city on December 27, 1846, the youngest of three sons born to Thomas and Emeline Marshall. He received his unusual first and middle names in honor of the distinguished Frenchman Claude Joseph Rouget de Lisle (1760-1836), an army officer who authored the French national anthem "Le Marseilles", and one can wonder if Marshall himself was ever asked the origins of his intriguing name! The Marshall family called Nashua home until 1854, when they moved to Wisconsin, settling in the town of Delton in Sauk County. Roujet worked the family farm during his youth whilst also attending the Delton Academy. He was later a student at the Baraboo Collegiate Institute in the city of Baraboo and continued his education at Lawrence College. Marshall began studying law at age 17 and was admitted to the Wisconsin bar several years after commencing his studies. Marshall married in 1869 to British native Mary E. Jenkins (1848-1939), and the couple is believed to have been childless throughout the length of their fifty-plus years of marriage.

Following the completion of his law studies Marshall and his wife settled in Chippewa Falls and within a short time had opened a law practice in this city. In addition to being a lawyer, Marshall wasted no time becoming politically involved in Chippewa Falls, serving as a justice of the peace as well as being a school board member. He was appointed as Chippewa County judge in 1876 and was later elected to a four-year term of his own. In the early 1880s, he operated
