Marshall Turner Moulton, age 94, passed away peacefully at home
on July 22, 2022 in Wentworth, New Hampshire.
He was born at home in Pigeon Cove, the north village of Rockport,
Massachusetts on January 3,1928 to Esther Mae Allen and Marshall
"Eben" Turner Moulton. He was predeceased by his wife of 48 years,
Doris Mills Moulton (d. 1996) and second wife of 11 years Marjorie
McPhee Moulton (d. 2014).
During the 1950's, he worked as a stone cutter at Johnson's Quarry, a
drop forge operator at the Cape Ann Tool Company, and an offshore
fishing crew member out of Gloucester, Massachusetts. In the 1960s,
Marshall delivered Anadama Bread throughout the greater Boston
area at night.
Marshall and his brother Leonard "Lenny" A. Moulton (d. 2014),
owned and operated Eben's Oil Service, founded by their father in
Rockport. Later he and his family moved to California and then
moved to Wentworth, NH 20 years later where he enjoyed living with
his extended family.
Marshall had a great love of all things sea-related. He enjoyed
fishing, lobstering, digging clams, and sailing. He passed that love on
to his children. He made wonderful baked bread. While living in NH,
he took up making maple syrup, boiling the sap outside on a stove
he made out of a 50-gallon drum. He loved spending time with family
and family loved spending time with him. Marshall was always there
to help anyone in need. He could build or fix just about anything and
was a great teacher to others of what he knew. He had a great sense
of humor and had an "Attitude of Gratitude". Marshall was a man of
few words, but of great influence. He will be missed by many.
