Musical history, people, ensembles, photographs, and source material from the Oklahoma Musicians Library.

The musical history of Marshall County.

Marshall County's strongest presently verified evidence is an extensive research base rather than a documented named band chronology. The Gateway preserves Madill newspapers beginning in the early statehood period, including the *Marshall County Democrat* (1908-1909) and the *Madill Record* (1916-current). (high) [1909 issue](https://gateway.okhistory.org/ark:/67531/metadc273143/), [Madill Record dates](https://gateway.okhistory.org/explore/titles/t03534/dates/)
