Admin  ·   · Daily Baptist Encyclopedia Post by Jim CurranBrotherton, Hon. Marshall, was born. in Erie, Pa., Feb. 11, 1811, and was brought to Missouri when quite young. He held the highest offices in the city of St. Louis, and in the county. In 1845 he made a profession of religion; afterwards he united with the Second Baptist church of St. Louis. Mr. Brotherton was a man of benevolence, integ- rity, and modesty, ‘‘his heart was an asylum for the sorrowing, his purse a treasury for the needy,” and the man and all he possessed, a sacrifice for Christ. His reputation never bore a stain, he en- joyed unusual popularity, and he deserved the love of his, fellow-citizens, and especially of the friends of Christ. He died in 1871.
