Notes

Date based on a March 16, 1915, Marshall News Messenger article noting that L. S. Hawley had purchased the Womack building on the south side of the square, occupied by Henderson's Garage and also purchased the garage business. Subsequent articles indicate that the name was changed to Hawley Garage, and a Nov. 5, 1923 article noted that the building was damaged by a fire at the city hall next door.
