Born in 1872 in Chicago, son of James Marsh, a stockyards commission
merchant, Frederick Marsh was inducted, when about 16 years old, by his
father, into business. Soon his father consented to his son's education
at the Chicago Art Institute. He was expected, however, to help
with expenses, so he took jobs after classes with well-known artists
who were shaping up murals for the Chicago World's Fair. This
grounded him in mural techniques of the big wall, big-brush type.
