Chief Justice John Marshall was injured when a stagecoach he was traveling in overturned in the spring of 1835. He was taken to Philadelphia for treatment, but his health declined rapidly and he died on July 6, 1835, at the age of 79.
The accident may have precipitated his death; however, Marshall was elderly (especially by 19th-century standards) and had been in ill for several years, so the exact cause is unknown.
According to legend, the Philadelphia Liberty Bell cracked when tolling Marshall's death knell, but the Liberty Bell Museum is unable to substantiate this story.
George C. Marshall, former Chief of Staff of the U.S. Army from 1939 to 1945, passed away at Walter Reed General Hospital on 16 October 1959 at the age of seventy-eight. He died of natural causes.
