I am looking for decendents of James Barney Marsh. He was born in 1856 at North Lake, Wisconsin. He went to Iowa at the age of 18 to enter preparatory school at Fredericksburg and graduated in 1882 from Iowa State College of Agriculture and Mechanical Arts (now the Iowa State University of Science and Technology) in Ames with a B.M.E. degree. In March 1883, he began his professional career in the Des Moines office of the King Bridge Company of Cleveland, Ohio, one of the largest bridge companies in the country at that time. In the spring of 1896 he formed his own company, the Marsh Bridge Company. In April 1904, the Marsh Bridge Company was incorporated as the Marsh Engineering Company. Also, any biographical information would be of interest. He died in 1936. Thanks.
