MARSDEN, Henry M.
14 Mar 1832- 10 Jun 1912
Born in Chesterfield, Derbyshire, England
Son of Sameul and Ann (HENSTOCK) MARSDEN.

HENRY MARSDEN, of the lumber firm of MARSDEN, WHITTET & Co.,
one of the leading enterprises of Edgerton, was born March 14,
1832, in Birchover, Derbyshire, England, and is a son of
Samuel and Ann MARSDEN, who are numbered among the early
pioneers of this State. Henry MARSDEN, whose name heads this
sketch, resided in England until about twelve years of age, at
which time he came with his parents to America. He distinctly
remembers the conditions of the country forty-five years go,
its wild and unbroken prairie, over which the deer roamed, its
uncut timber, the haunt of many kinds of wild game, its little
pioneer cabins and its villages, which have now becoming
thriving cities. He was reared to manhood on the homestead
farm, and married Miss Margaret C. WHITTET, a daughter of
James and Margaret WHITTET, pioneers of Dane County. Their
union has been blest with four children: James C., Margaret
Ann, Arthur and John Marvin. Though reared to the occupation
of farming and always owning a fine farm, nevertheless, when a
young man, Mr. MARSDEN learned the trade of carpenter and
builder, serving an apprenticeship with J. J. NASET. He
followed that occupation for eighteen years, at the same time
overseeing his farming operations. He now owns a fine farm in
Albion Township, Dane County, of nearly 200 acres, 160 of
which are comprised in the old homestead of his father. In
May, 1883, he embarked in the lumber business as a member of
the firm of MARSDEN, WHITTET & Co., and removed with his wife
and children to Edgerton
