History of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan
The Western Historical Company, Chicago - 1883

Page 341-342

   MARSHALL BRINTON, contractor with the Congomerate 
 Mining Company, was born in Delaware County, Penn., February,
 1839, where he obtained a liberal education, making that his home
 until September, 1872, when he emigrated to the Upper Peninsula
 of Michigan.  He engaged at the Delaware Mine, now the Con-
 glomerate, as a teacher and clerk.  He taught the school three win-
 ters in addition to keeping the mine books during the same years.
 From 1876 to 1879 he was in charge of the surface work and doing
 duty as supply clerk.  In 1879, he went to the Black Hills, where he
 spent nine months, returning to Lake Superior in February, 1880,
 and resumed work at the old mine as clerk.  In July of that year,
 he was appointed surface foreman, and acted in that capacity until
 May, 1881, since which time he has been engaged in contract work.
 Mr. BRINTON has been prominently identified with the temperance
 movement in this region.
