Lansing H Irvine, attended school in Marshall, and a military academy in N. C. Lansing Switch was named after him by his father Hugh R Levine.
He worked in the offices of the T&P railroad before moving to Marshall, where he worked briefly in the railroad stores department.
The entertainment committee kept the interest and attendance up, but Lansing didn't stop there. He served as the second President of The Rotary Club of Marshall in 1920-21. Lancing was his own man, confident and resourceful, he saw unmet needs, unresolved problems, and believed that Rotary had could help.
Lansing was the third part of the three-corner-stone foundation, sandwiched between two of the icons of the Marshall Rotary Club. Like the three-legged-stool, the three giants of the club each contributed their own particular skills to the club.
Ike Hochwald's zeal rubbed off on everyone, Frank Davis's contributions to every cause and project, provided the means, and Lansing Irving's vision and attention to detail and organization, gave the new club a strong and stable foundation upon which to grow and prosper.
