Brinton, Clement S. (Clement Starr), 1875-1963.
Clement S. Brinton was born in West Chester, Pa., on February 3, 1875. Trained as a chemist, he spent his entire career with the Food & Drug Administration designing and directing food inspection laboratories in the Philadelphia area. He died in West Chester in July, 1963.
Brinton was also an amateur local historian and was particularly interested in the history of the 18th and 19th century iron industry and the physical remains that dotted his native Chester County and the surrounding states. He was instrumental in having one of these, Hopewell Furnace, restored as a National Park. Brinton photographed many of these sites and collected clippings, pamphlets and other data on the industry. He donated this collection to the then Longwood Library in 1958.
