Administrative history
Lorne Wilmot Marsh (1871-1928) and William Henry Henthorn (1857-1911) took over the former G & J Brown foundry on Station Street in Belleville, Ontario, after the death of James Brown in 1897. Marsh had been the bookkeeper and Henthorn the superintendent mechanic for the earlier business. In 1912 the firm opened new premises on Franklin Street, where it operated until 1927 (latterly under the name Marsh Engineering Works) when the site was purchased by Stephens Adamson Manufacturing Ltd.
