EDWIN J. MARSH, attorney at Big Rapids, of the firm of Glidden & Marsh, was 
born at Howell, Livingston 

Co., Mich., May 28, 1850.  His father, Z. H. Marsh, by profession a physician, 
was born in Montague, 

Franklin Co., Mass., and his mother, Luthera Marsh, was born in Dana, Mass.

Edwin attended the public school at Howell until 19 years old, when he entered 
Cornell University, at 

Ithaca, N.Y.  At the end of the first year he left Cornell for Michigan 
University, entering the Sophmore 

Class of the Literary Department.  His health compelled him to leave the 
University at the end of the 

year, and in hopes of recovering the same he joined an engineer corps of the 
A.T.&S.F.R.R. Co., and 

remained west until 1872.  Returning in the winter of 1872 to Howell, he 
entered the office of H.H. Harmon 

and studied law; atended law lectures at the University of Michigan, and was 
admitted to the Bar in 1874.  

In 1875 he removed to Big Rapids, in company with N.W. Carpenter, with whom he 
opened an office for the 

practive of law.  At the end of a year he entered into a partnership with D. 
Roben, which existed about 

one year.  After the dissolution of this partnership, he remained alone in the 
practice of his profession 

until 1879, when he became associated with D. F. Glidden, his present partner.

In 1876 he was married to Alma, daughter of J.W. and Alvira Burr, of Ionia 
Co., Mich.  They have one 

child, Frank B., born March 4, 1880.
