A.
H. Marston
A. H. Marston, treasurer and manager, of the Chattanooga Chair Company, is a
native of the State of New York, and is a son and the only surviving child of
Samuel F. and Carrie May (Blakely) Marston, who were natives of London, England.
Realizing that America possessed far greater advantages over England for
laboring people, and being only in moderate circumstances, the parents
immigrated to this country and were married in New York State. Later they moved
to Minnesota, the father now being a resident of St. Paul, where he is engaged
in the manufacture of wagons, carriages, etc. A. H. Marston was reared and
educated in the State of Minnesota, and was there engaged in saw. milling
until 1876, when he came to Chattanooga. From 1878 to 1885 he was an active
member of the firm of Loomis, Hart & Co., but in December of the latter
year, purchased an interest and assumed control of the Chattanooga Chair
Company, continuing in that manner until the present time. Under Mr. Marston's
management the company he represents has greatly improved in every way, and it
is recognized as one of the leading manufacturing institutions of the city.
April 30, 1876, Mr. Marston was united in marriage with Miss Carrie M. Everett,
and to their union two children have been born-one now living.
