Marshall Thomas Wilton Eady

Marshall Thomas Wilton Eady was an engineer born in Summer Hill Sydney in 18 November 1882. He was the oldest child of William Wilton Eady, a native at the time, and a Scottish woman named Barbara Rose. When his father died when he was ten, the family moved to Melbourne where his uncle, Sir William McPherson took care of them.[1]

He was an engineering apprentice at Austral Otis, before joining his uncle's firm, McPherson's Pty Ltd where he remained until his death.

McPherson died of a coronary occlusion at the wheel of his car in Collins Street, Melbourne on 8 December 1947. He was survived by his wife and three children.[2]
