Im- I i F. / p PEFe E. lIE greatest of English historians, MACAULAY, and one of the most brilliant writers of @ z 'tilthe present celletury, has said: "The history of a country is best told in a record of the iSR t m *1 U lives of its people." In conformity with tllis idea tile PORTRAIT AND BIOGRAPHICAL RE(CORrD of this county has been prepared. Instead of goingO to musty records, and i' t 3taking therefrom dry statistical matter that can be al)lpprecited by but few, our i, AcoVrps of writers have gone to the people, the men and women who have, by their enterprise and industry, brought the county to rank second to none among those ^ comprising this great and noble State, and from their lips have the story of their life 1 struggles. No more interesting or instructive matter could be presented to an intellii ' gent public. In this voltlle will he found a record of many whose lives are worthy the imitation of cominig generations. It tells how some, commencing life in poverty, by industry and economy have accumulated wealth. It tells how others, with limited ad(1valltages for securing an education, have become learned men and women, with an iA in:lieee exteinding throughout the length and breadth of the land. It tells of men who r-SX have risen from the lower walks of life to eminence as statesmen, and whose names have become famous. It tells of those in every walk in life who have striven to succeed, and records how that success has usually crowned their efforts. It tells also of many, very marny, who, not seeking the applause of the world, have pursued "the even tenor of their way," content to have it said of them as Christ said of the woman performing a deed of mercy-"they have done what they could." It tells how that many in the pride and strength of young manhood left the plow and the anvil, the lawyer's office and the counting-room, left every trade and profession, and at their oountry's call went forth valiantly "to do or die," and how through their efforts the Union was restored and peace once niore reigned in the land. In the life of every nman and of every woman is a lesson that should not be lost upon those who follow after. Coming generations will appreciate this volume and preserve it as a sacred treasure, from the fact that it contains so much that would never find its way into public records, and which would otherwise be inaccessible. Great care has been taken in the compilation of the work and every opportunity possible given to those represented to insure correctness in what has been written, and the publishers flatter themselves that they give to their readers a work with few errors of consequence. In addition to the biographical sketches, portraits of a number of representative citizens are given. The faces of some, and biographical sketches of many, will be missed in this volume. For this the publishers are not to blame. Not having a proper conception of the work, some refused to give the information necessary to compile a sketch, while others were indifferent. Occasionally some member of the family would oppose the enterprise, aind on account of such opposition the support of the interested one would be withheld. In a few instances men could never be found, though repeated calls were made at their residence or place of business, March, 1892, BIO(IGRAPHICAL PUBLIsIONG Co.

The ito GEORGE W'ASHING/TON. trip was a perilous one, and several times he came near luiing his life, yet he returned in safety and furnished a full and useful report of his expedition. A regiment of 300 men was raised in Virginia and put in command of Col. Joshua Fry, and Major Washington was commissioned lieutenant-colonel. Active war was then begun against the French and Indians, in which Washington took a most important part. In the memorable event of July 9, 1755, known as Braddock's defeat, Washington was almost the only officer of distinction who escaped from the calamities of the day with life and honor. The other aids of Braddock were disabled early in the action, and Washington alone was left in that capacity on the field. In a letter to his brother he says: "I had four bullets through my coat, and two horses shot under me, yet I escaped unhurt, though death was levelin my companions on every side." An Indian sharpshooter said he was not born to be killed by a bullet, for he had taken direct aim at him seventeen times, and failed to hit him. After having been five years in the military service, and vainly sought promotion in the royal army, he took advantage of the fall of Fort Duquesne and the expulsion of the French from the valley of the Ohio, to resign his commission. Soon after he entered the Legislature, where, although not a leader, he took an active and important part. January 17, 1759, he married Mrs. Martha (Dandridge) Custis, the wealthy widow of John Parke Custis. When the British Parliament had closed the port if Boston, the cry went up throughout the provinces that "The cause of Boston is the cause of us all." It was then, at the suggestion of Virginia, that a Congress of all the colonies was called to meet at Philadelphia,Sept. 5, 17 74, to secure their common liberties, peaceably if possible. To this Congress Col. Wasliagton was sent as a delegate. On May io, I775, the Congress re-assembled, when the hostile intentions of England were plaifly apparent. The battles of Concord and Lexingtoh had been fought. Among the first acts of this Congress was the election of a commander-in-chief of the colonial forces. This high and responsible office was conferred upon Washington, who was still a memberof the Congress. He accepted it on June I9, but upon the express condition that he receive no salary. He would keep an exact account of expenses and expect Congress to pay them and nothing more. It is not the object of this sketch to trace the military acts of Washington, to whom the fortunes and liberties of the people of this country were so long confided. The war was conducted by him under every possible disadvantage, and while his forces often met with reverses, yet he overcame every obstacle, and after seven years of heroic devotion, _-nin matchless skill he gained liberty for the greatest I: O:! f enarth. On Dec. 23, 1783, Washington, in l!ti:ng address of surpassing beauty, resigned his commission as commander-in-chief of the army to to the Continental Congress sitting at Annapolis. He retired immediately to Mount Vernon and resumed his occupation as a farner and planter, shunning all connection with public life. In February,i789, Washington was unanimously elected President. In his presidential career he was subject to the peculiar trials incidental to a new government; trials from lack of confidence on the part of other governments; trials from want of harmony between the different sections of our own country; trials from) the impoverished condition of the country, owing to the war anid want of credit; trials from the beginnings of party strife. He was no partisan. His clear judgment could discern the golden mean; and while perhaps this alone kept our government from sinking at the very outset, it left him exposed to attacks from both sides, which were often bitter and very annoying. At the expiration of his first term he was unanimously re-elected. At the end of this term many were anxious that he be re-elected, bit he absolutely refused a third nomination. On the fourth of March, I797, at the expiraton of his second term as President, he returned to his homle, hoping to pass there his few remaining years free from the annoyances of public life. Later in the year, however, his repose seemed likely to be interrupted by war with France. At the prospect of such a war he was again urged to take command of the armies. He chose his suil)ordinate officers and left to them the charge of matters in the field, which he sluperintended from his home. In accepting the command he made the reservation that he was not to be in the field until it was necessary. In the midst of these preparations his life was suddenly cut off. I)ecember J2, he took a severe cold from a ride in the rain, which, settling ill his throat, produced inflammation, and terminated fatally on the night of the fourteenth. On the eighteenth his body was borne with military honors to its final resting place, and interred in the family vault at Mount Vernon. Of the character of Washington it is impossible to speak but in terms of the highest respect and admiration. The more we see of the operations of our government, and the more deeply we feel the difficulty of uniting all opinions in a common interest, the more highly we must estimate the force of histalent and character, which have be-n able to challenge the reverence of all parties, and principles, and nations, and to win a fame as extended as the limits of the globe, antd which we cannot but believe will he as lasting as the existence of man. The person of Washington was unusally tan, erect and well proportioned. His muscular strength was great. His features were of a beautiful symmetry.

I can see that the end is worth more than all the means; and that posterity will triumph, although you and I may rue, which I hope we shall not." In November, 1777, Mr. Adams was appointed a delegate to France and to co-operate with Bemjamin Franklin and Arthur Lee, who were then in Paris, in the endeavor to obtain assistance in arms and money from the French Government. This was a severe trial to.his patriotism, as it separated him from his home, compelled him to cross the ocean in winter, and exposed him to great peril of capture by the British cruisers, who were seeking him. He left France June 17, 1779. In September of the same year he was again chosen to go to Paris, and there hold himself in readiness to negotiate a treaty of peace and of commerce with Great Britian, as soon as the British Cabinet might be found willing to listen to such proposels. He sailed for France in November, from there he went to Holland, where he negotiated important loans and formed important commercial treaties Finally a treaty of peace with England was signed Jan. 21, 1783. The re-action frorm the excitement, toil and anxiety through which Mr. Adams had passed threw him into a fever. After suffering from a continued fever and becoming feeble and emaciated he was advised to go to England to drink the waters of Bath. While in England, still droopinganddesponding, he received dispatches from his own government urging the necessity of his going to Amsterdarn to negotiate another loan. It was winter, his health was delicate, yet he immediately set out, and through storm, on sea, on horseback and foot,he made the trip. February 24, 1785; Congress appointed Mr. Adams envoy to the Court of St. James. Here he met face to face the King of England, who had so long regarded him as a traitor. As England did not condescend to appoint a minister to the United States, and as Mr. Adams felt that he was acconmplishing but little, he sought permission to return to nis own country, where he arrived in June, 1788. When Washington was first chosen President, John Adams, rendered illustiious by his signal services at home and abroad, was chosen Vice President. Again at the second election of Washington as President, Adams was chosen Vice President. In I796, Washington retired from public life, and Mr. Adams was elected President,though not without much opposition. Servingin this office four years,he was succeeded by MT; Jefferson, his opponent in politics. While Mr. Adams was Vice President the great 4DAMS. French Revolution shook the continent of Europe, and it was upon this point which he was at issue with the majority of his countrymen led by Mr. Jefferson. Mr. Adams felt no sympatly with the French people in their struggle, for he had no confidence in their power of self-government, and lie utterly abhored the classof atheist philosophers who he claimed caused it. On the other hand Jefferson's sysmipathies were strongly enlisted in behalf of the French people. Hence originated the alienation between these distinguished men, and two powerful parties were thus soon organized, Adams at the head of the one whose sympathies were with England and Jefferson led the other in sympathy with France. The world has seldom seen a spectacle of more moral beauty and grandeur, than was presented by the old age of Mr. Adams. The violence of party feeling had died away, and he had begun to receive that just appreciation which, to miost men, is not accorded till after death. No one could look upon his venerable form, and think of wliat he had done and suffered, and how he had given up all the prime and strength of his life to the public good, without the deepest emotion of gratitude and respect. It was his peculiar good fortune to witness the colmplete success of the institution which he had been so active in creating and supporting. In 1824, his ctup of happliness was filled to the brim, by seeing his son elevated to the highest station in the gift of the people. The fourth of July, 1826, which completed the half century since the signing of the Declaration of Independence, arrived, and there were but three of the signers of that immortal instrumsent left upon the earth to hail its morning light. And, as it is well known, on that day two of these finished their earthly pilgrimage, a coincidence so remarkable as to seemn miraculous. For a few days before Mr. Adams had been rapidly failing. and on the morning of the fourth he found himself too weak to rise fron his bed. Ont being requested to name a toast for the customary celebration of the day, he exclaimed " INDEPENDENCE FOREVER." When the day was ushered in, by the ringing of bells and the firing of cannons, he was asked bly one of his attendants if he knew what day it was? He replied, "O yes; it is the glorious fourth of J(lv-God bless it-God bless you all." In the course of the day he said, "It is a great and glorious day." The last words he uttered were, "Jefferson survives." But he had, at one o'clock, resigned his spirit into the hands of his God. The personal appearance and manners of Mr. Adams were not particularly prepossessing. His face, as his portrait manifests,was intellectual ard expres. sive, but his figure was low and ungraceful, and h:' manners were frequently abrupt. and uncourteous He had neither the lofty dignity of Washington, nor the engaging elegance and gracefulness which marked the manners and address of Jefferson. -/'Ioooy 7 "XI YVHRD PRESIDENT. 2 -2 7 T 7 = ~ ~ 4'SW G, g fro i '~ age. e1:nd Mary College.

It is one of the most remarkable papers ever written; and did no other effort of the mind of its author exist, that alone would be sufficient to stamp hig name with immortality. In 1779 Mr. Jefferson was elected successor to Patrick Henry, as Governor of Virginia. At one time the British officer, Tarleton, sent a secret expedition to Monticello, to capture the Governor. Scarcely five minutes elapsed after the hurried escape of Mr. Jefferson and his family, ere his mansion was in possession of the British troops. His wife's health, never very good, was much injured by this excitement, and in the summer of 1782 she died. Mr. Jefferson was elected to Congress in 1783. Two years later he was appointed Minister Plenipotentiary to France. Returning to the United States in September, 1789, he became Secretary of State in Washington's cabinet. This position he resigned Jan. r, 1794. In I797, he was chosen Vice President, and four years later was elected President over Mr. Adams, with Aaron Burr as Vice President. In 1804 he was re-elected with wonderful unanimity, and George Clinton, Vice President. The early part of Mr. Jefferson's second adminstration was disturbed by an event which threatened the tranquility and peace of the Union; this was the conspiracy of Aaron Burr. Defeated in the late election to the Vice Presidency, and led on by an unprinciplcd ambition, this extraordinary man formed the plan of a military expedition into the Spanish territories on our southwestern frontier, for the purpose of forningthere new republic. This has been generally supposed was a mere pretext; and although it has not been generally known what his real plans were, there is no doubt that they were of a far more dangerous character. In I809, at the expiration of the second term for which Mr. Jefferson had been elected, he determined to retire from political life. For a period of nearly forty years, he had been continually before the pub-.ic, and all that time had been employed in offices of the greatest trust and responsibility. Having thus devoted the best part of his life to the service of his country, he now felt desirous of that rest which his declining years required, and upon the organization of the new administration, in March, I8o9, he bid farewell forever to public life, and retired to Monticello. Mr. Jefferson was profuse in his hospitality. Whole families came in their coaches with their horses,fathers and mothers, boys and girls, babies and nurses, —and remained three and even six months. Life at Monticello, for years, resembled. that at a fashionable watering-place. Tie fourth of July, 826, being the fiftieth anniver sary of the Declaration of American Independence, great preparations were made in every part of th: Union for its celebration, as the nation's jubilee, anl the citizens of Washington, to add to the solemnit) ot the occasion, invited Mr. Jefferson, as the framer, and one of the few surviving signers of the Declaration, to participate in their festivities. But an illness, which had been of several weeks duration, and had been continually increasing, compelled him to decline the invitation. On the second of July, the disease under which he was laboring left him, but in such a reduced state that his medical attendants, entertained ne hope of his recovery. From this time he was perfectly sensible that his last hour was at hand. On the nex' day, which was Monday, he asked of those around him, the day of the month, and on being told it was the third of July, he expressed the earnest wish tha': he might be permitted to breathe the airof the fiftieth anniversary. His prayer was heard-that day, whose dawn was hailed with sruch rapture through our land, burst upon his eyes, and then they were closed forever. And what a noble constalmmation of a noble life! To die on that day,-the birthday of a nation,- - the day which his own name and his own act had rendered glorious; to die amidst the rejoicings and festivities of a whole nation, who looked up to him, as the author, under God, of their greatest blessings, was all that was wanting to fill up the record his life. Almost at the same hour of his death, the kindred spirit of the venerable Adams, as if to bear him company, left the scene of his earthly honors. Hand in hand they had stood forth, the champions of freedom; hand in hand, during the dark and desperate struggle of the Revolution, they had cheered and animated their desponding countrymen; for half a century they had labored together for tie good of the country; and now hand in hand they depart. In their lives they had been united in the same great cause of liberty, and in their deaths they were not divided. In person Mr. Jefferson was tall and thin, rather above six feet in height, but well formed; his eyes were light, his hair originally red, in after life became white and silvery; his complexion was fair, his fore. head broad, and his whole courrenance intelligent and thoughtful. He possessed great fortitude of mind as well as personal courage; and i.;s command of temper was such that his oldest and most intimate friends never recollected to have seen him in a passion. His manners, though dignified, were simple and unaffected, and his hospitality was so unbounded that all found at his house a ready welcome. In conversation he was fluent, eloquent and enthusiastic; and his language was remarkably pure and correct. He was a finished classical scholar, and in his writings is discernable the care with which he formed his style upon the best m oels of antiquity. z-4 &G4~ r c FOURTH?

In the year 1780, he was elected a member of the Continental Congress. Here he met the most illustrious men in our land, ard he was immediately assigned to one of the most conspicuous positions among them. For three years Mr Madison continued in Congress, one of its most active and influential members. In the year 1784, his term having expired, he was elected a member of the Virginia Legislature. No man felt more deeply than Mr. Madison the utter inefficiency of the old confederacy, with no national government, with no power to form treaties which would be binding, or to enforce law. There was not any State more prominent than Virginia in the declaration, that an efficient national government must be formed. In January, 1786, Mr. Madison carried a resolution through the General Assembly of Virginia, inviting the other States to appoint commissioners to meet in convention at Annapolis to discuss this subject. Five States only were represented. The convention, however, issued another call, drawn up by Mr. Madison, urging all the States to send their delegates to Philadelphia, in May, I787, to draft a Constitution for the United States, to take the place of that Confederate League. The delegates met at the time appointed. Every State but Rhode Island was represented. George Washington was chosen president of the convention; and the present Constitution of the United States was then and there formed. There was, perhaps, no mind and no pen more active in framing this immortal document than the mind and the pen of Jalnes Madison. The Constitution, adopted by a vote 81 to 79, was to be presented to the several States for acceptance. But grave solicitude was felt. Should it be rejected we should be left but a conglomeration of independent States, with but little power at home and little respect abroad. Mr. Madison was selected by tne convention to draw up an address to the people of the United States, expounding tle principles of the Constitution, and urging its adoption. There was great opposition to it at first, but it at length triumphed over all, and went into effect in r789. Mr. Madison was elected to the House of Representatives in the first Congress, and soon became the avowed leader of the Republican party. While in New York attending Congress, he met Mrs Todd, a young widow of remarkable power of fascination, whom he married. She was in person and character queenly, and probably no lady has thus far occupied so prominent a position in the very peculiar society which has constituted our republican court as Mrs. Madison. Mr. Madison served as Secretary of State under Jefferson, and at the close of his administration was chosen President. At this time the encroachMents of England had brought us to the vergeof war. British orders in council destroyed our commerce, ai.d our flag was exposed 'to constant insult. Mr. Madison was a man of peace. Scholarly in his taste, reltiiig ill his disposition, war had no charms for him. But tile meekest spirit can be roused. It makes one's blod boil, even now, to think of an American ship brought to, upon the ocean, by the guns of an English cruiser. A young lieutenant steps on board and orders the crew to be paraded before him. With great nonchalance he selects any number whom he may please to designate as British subjects; orders them doN n the ship's side into his boat; and places them on the gundeck of his man-of-war, to fight, by compulsion, the battles of England. This right of search and imnpressment, no efforts of our Government could induce the British cabinet to relinquish. Onl the i8th of June, i812, President Madison gave his approval to an act of Congress declaring war against Great Britain. Notwithstanding the bitter hostility of the Federal party to the war, the country in general approved; and Mr. Madison, on the 4th of March, 1813, was re-elected by a large majority, and entered ulronu his second term of office. This is not the place to describe the various advelnturs of this war on the land and on the water. Our infan'. navy then laid the foundations of its renown in grappling with the most formidable power which ever swept the seas. The contest commienced in earnest by the appearance of a British fleet, early in February, 1813, in Chesapeake Bay, declaring nearly the whole coast of the United States under blockade. The Emperor of Russia offered his services as me ditator. America accepted; England refused. A British force of five thousand men landed on the )anks of the Patuxet River, near its entrance into Chesapeake Bay, and inarched rapidly, by way of Bladensburg, upon Washington. rThe straggling little city of Washington was thrown into consternation. The cannon of the brief conflict at Bladensbulrg echoed through the streets of the metropolis. The whole populaticn fled from the city. The President, leaving Mrs. Madison in the White House, with her carriage drawn up at the doer to await his speedy return, hurried to meet the officers in a council of war Hle met our troops utterly routed, and he could not go back without danger of being captured. But few hours elapsed ere the Presidential Mansion, the Capitol, and all the lublic buildings in Washington were in flames. The war closed after two years of fighting, and on Fel). 13, 1 815, the treaty of peace was signed at Ghent. On the 4th of March, 1817, his second term of office expired, and.he resigned the Presidential chair to his friend, James Monroe. He retired to his Leautiful home at Montpelier, and there passed the remainderof his days. On June 28, 1836, then at the age of 85 years, he fell asleep in death, Mrs. Madison died July 12, 1849.

Jackson was an earnest advocate of the Democratic party. Jefferson was his idol. He admired Bonaparte, loved France and hated England. As Mr. Jackson took his seat, Gen. Washington, whose second term of office was then expi:ring, delivered his last speech to Congress. A committee drew up a complimentary address in reply. Andrew Jackson did not approve of the address, and was one of the twelve who voted against it. He was not willing to Say that Gen. Washington's adminstration had been " wise, firm and patriotic." Mr. Jackson was elected to the United States Senate in 1797, but soon resigned and returned home. Soon after he was chosen Judge of the Supreme Court of his State, which position he held f-r six years. When the war of i8I2 with Great Britian coImmenced, Madison occupied the Presidential chair. Aaron Burr sent word to the President that there was an unknown man in the West, Andrew Jackson, who would do credit to a commission if one were conferred upon him. Just at that time Gen. Jackson affered his services and those of twenty-five hundred volunteers. His offer was accepted, and the troops were assembled at Nashville. As the British were hourly expected to make an attack upon New Orleans, where Gen. Wilkinson was in command, he was ordered to descend the river with fifteen hundred troops to aid Wilkinson. The expedition reached Natchez; and after a delay of sev - eral weeks there, without accomplishing anything, the men were ordered back to their homes. But the energy Gen. Jackson had displayed, and his entire devotion to the comrfort of his soldiers, won him golden opinions; and he became the nost popular man in the State. It was in this expedition that his toughness gave him the nickname of" Old Hickory." Soon after this, while attempting to horsewhip Col. Thomas H. Benton, for a remark that gentleman made about his taking a part as second in a duel, in which a younger brother of Benton's was engaged, he received two severe pistol wounds. While he was lingering upon a bed of suffering news came that the Indians, who had combined under Tecumseh from Florida to the Lakes, to exterminate the white settlers, were committing the most awful ravages. Decisive action became necessary. Gen. Jackson, with his fractured bone just beginning to heal, his arm in a sling, and unable to mount his horse without assistance, gave his amazing energies to the raising of an army to rendezvous at Fayettesville, Alabama. The Creek Indians had established a strong fort on one of the bendsof the Tallapoosa River, near the center of Alabama, about fifty miles below Fort Strother. With an army of two thousand men, Gen. Jackson traversed the pathless wilderness in a march of eleven days. He reached their fort, called Tohopeka or Horse-shoe, on the 27th of March. 1814. The bend JA CKSON. of the river enclosed nearly one haundred acres or tangled forest and wild ravine. Across the narrow neck the Indians had constructed a formidable breastwork of logs and brush. Here nine haindred warriors. with an ample suply of arms were assembled. The fort was stormed. The fight was utterly desperate. Not an Indian would accept of quarter. When bleeding and dying, they would fight those who endeavored to spare their lives. Fromi ten in the morning until dark, the battle raged. The carnage was awful and revolting. Some threw themselves into the river; but the unerring bullet struck their heads as they swam. Nearly everyone of the nine hundred warrios were killed A few probably, in the night, swam the river and escaped. This ended the war. The power of the Creeks was broken forever. This bold plunge into the wilderness, with its terriffic slaughter. so appalled the savages, that the haggard remnanlts of the bands canhe to the camp, begging for peace. This closing of the Creek war enalbled us to concentrate all our militia upon the British, who were the allies of the Indians No man of less resolute will than Gen. Jackson coulld have conducted this Indian campaign to so successful an issue Immediately he was appointed major-general. Late in August, with an army of two thousand men, on a rushing lmarch, Gen. Jackson came to( Mobile. A British fleet caine from P'ensacola, landed a force upon the beach, anchored near the little forl, and from both ship and shore commenced a furious assault. The battle was long and doubtful. At length one of the ships was blown up and the rest retired. Garrisoning Mobile, where he had taken his littll army, he moved his troops to New (rleats, And the battle of New Orleans which soon ensued. was in reality a very arduous campaign. This wonI for Gen. Jackson an imperishable name. Here his troops, which numbered about four thousand men. won a signal victory over the British army of about nine thousand. His loss was but thirteen, while the loss of the British was two thousand six hundred. The name of Gen. Jackson soon began to be mentioned in connection with the Presidency, but, in 1824, he was defeated by Mr. Adams. He was, however, successful in the election of I828, and was re-elected for a second term in 1832. In I829, just before he assumed the reins of the government, he met with the most terrible affliction of his life in the death of his wife, whom he had lovedwith a devotion which has perhaps never been surpassed. From the shock of her death he never recovered. His administration was one of the most mremcr.!ie in the annals of our country; appiauded oyone party, condemned by the other. No man had more bitter enemies or warmer friends. At the expiration of his two terms of office he retired to the Hermitage, where he died June 8, I845. The last years of Mr. Jackson's life were that of a devoted Christian maun. " I k, —.

There is but little in the life of Martin Van Burea sf romttantic interest. He fought no battles, engaged in no wild adventures. Thoulgh his life was stormy in political and intellectual conflicts, and he gained ma:)ny signal victories, his days passed uneventful in those incidents which give zest to liogralphy. His ancestors, as his namie indicates, were of D)utch origin,::nd were among the earliest emigrants from Holland to the banks of the Hudson. His father was a farmer, residing in the old town of Kinderhook. His mother, also of )utch lineage, was a woman of su)perior intelligenlce and exemplary piety. -fe was decidedly a precocious boy, developing unttulal activity, vigor and strength of mind. At the ac of fourteen, he had finished his academic studies 1: his native village, and commienced the study of a-w. As he had not a collegiate education, seven vears of study in a law-office were retiuired of him ')efore he could be admuitted to the bar. Inspired witi t lofty ambition, and conscious of his powers, he pursued his studies with indefatigable industry. After sleending six years in an office in t-.is native village, he went to the city of New York, and prosecuted his studies for the seventh year. In 1803, Mr. Van Burtcn, then twenty-one years ol age, commenced the practice of law in his native \village. The great conflict between the Federal and Republican party was then at its height. Mr. Van. lBuren was fiom the leginning a politician. He had, perhaps, imbibed that spirit while listeniMg to the many discussions which had been carried on in his father's hotel. He was in cordial sympathy with Jefferson, and earnestly and eloquently espoused the cause of State Rights; though at that time the Federal party held the supremacy both in his town and State. His success and increasing ruputation led him after six years of practice, to remove to Hudson, this county seat of his county. Here he spent seven years constantly gaining strength by contending in ths courts with some of the ablest mnen who have adorned the bar of his State. Just before leaving Kinderhook for Hudson, MI. Van Buren married a lady alike distinguished for beauty and accomplishments. After twelve short years she sank into the grave, the victim of consumnption, leaving her husband and four sons to weep ovei her loss. For twenty-five years, Mr. Van Buren was an earnest, successful, assiduous lawyer. The record of those years is barren in items of public interest. Int T812, when thirty years of age, lie was chosen to the State Senate, and gave his strenuous support to Mr. Madison's adminstradion. In 1815, he was appointed Attorney-General, and the next year moved to Albany, the capital of the State. While he was ackno\Vlddged;,s one of the most potmiinent leaders of the D'c:ocratic party, he had fART1N VAN.B 'REVN. -----. —, —. -- the moral courage to avow that true democracy did not require that "universal suffrage" which admits the vile, the degraded, the ignorant, to the right of governing the State. In true consistency with his democratic principles, he contended that, while the path leading to the privilege of voting should be open to every man without distinction, no one should be invested with that sacred prerogative, unless he were in some degree qualified for it by intelligence, virtue and some property interests in the welfare of the State. In 182I he was elected. member of the United iStates Senate; and in the same year, he took a seat in the convention to revise the constitution of his native State. His course in this convention secured the approval of men of all parties. No one could doubt the singleness of his endeavors to promote the interests of all classes in the community. In the Senate of the United States, he rose at once to a conspicuous position as an active and useful legislator. In 1827, John Quincy Adams beirg then in the Presidential chair, Mr. Van Buren was re-elected to the Senate. He had been from the beginning a de-:ermined opposer of the Administration, adopting the 'State Rights" view in opposition to what was deemed the Federal proclivities of Mr. Adams. Soon after this, in 1828, he was chosen Governorof the State of New York, and accordingly resigned his seat in the Senate. Probably no one in the United States contributed so much towards ejecting John Q. Adams from the Presidential chair, and placing in it Andrew Jackson, as did Martin Van Buren. Whether entitled to the reputation or not, he certainly was regarded throughout the United States as one of the most skillful, sagacious and cunning of politicians. It was supposed that no one knew so well as he how to touch the secret springs of action; how to pull all the wires to put his machinery in motion; and how to organize a political army which would, secretly and stealthily accomplish the most gigantic results. By these powers it is said that he outwitted Mr. Adams, Mr. Clay, Mr. Webster, and secured results which few thought then could be accomplished. When Andrew Jackson was elected President he appointed Mr. Van Buren Secretary of State. This position he resigned in 1831, and was immediately appointed Minister to England, where he went the same autumn. The Senate, however, when it met, tefused to ratify the nomination, and he returned home, apparently untroubled; was nominated Vice President in the place of Calhoun, at the re-election of President Jackson; and with smiles for all and fiowns for none, he took his place at the head of that Senate which had refused to confirm his nomination as ambassador. His rejection by the Senaie roused all the zeal of President Jackson in behalf of his repudiated favorite; and this, probably more than any other cause, secured his elevation to the chair of the Chief Execu tive. On the 20th of May, I836, Mr. Van Buren received the Democratic nomination to succeed Gen. Jackson as President of the United States. He was elected by a handsome majority, to the delight of the retiring President. "Leaving New York out of the canvass," says Mr. Parton, "the election of Mr. Van Buren to the Presidency was as much the act of Gen. Jackson as though the Constitution had conferred upon him the power to appoint a successor." His administration was filled with exciting events. The insurrection in Canada, which threatened to ipi volve this country in war with England, the agitation of the slavery question, and finally the great commercial panic which spread over the cointry, all were trials to his wisdom. The financial distress was attributed to the management of the Denocratic party, and brought the President into such disfavor that he failed of re-election. With the exception of being nominated for the Presidency by the "Free Soil" Democrats, in 1848, Mr. Van Buren lived quietly upon his estate until his death. He had ever been a prudent man, of frugal habits. and living within his income, had now fortunately a competence for his declining years. His unblemished character, his commanding abilities, his unquestioned patriotism, and the distinguished positions which he had occupied in the government of our country, secured to him not only the homage of his party, but the respect ot the whole community. It was on the 4th of March, 1841, that Mr. Van Buren retired from the presidency. From his fine estate at Lindenwald, he still exerted a powerful influence upon the politics of the country. From this time until his deathl.n the 24th of July, I862, at the age of eighty years, he resided at Lindenwald, a gentleman of leisure, of culture and of wealth; enjoying in a healthy old age, probably far more happiness than he had before experienced amid the stormy scenes of his active life. ~~& NINTH PRESIDAN.: EL -.- i &I R|.. W14 (,-&soi A~.f u~ Ando.*/ * ILLIAM HENRY HARRISON, the ninth President of 1 iEV~.V" the United States, was born at Berke!ey, Va., Feb. 9, 1773., oHis father, Benjamin Harrison, was in co.mpiaratively ol)m v ulent circurnstances, and was one of the most distinguished men of his day. He was an 1 intimate friend of George Washington, w as early elected a member of the Continental Congress, and was conspicuous among the patriots of Virginia in resisting the encroachments of the Oj British crown. In the celebrated 1 ( Congress of 1775, Benjamin HIarrison and John Hancock were,oth candidates for the office of tspeaker. ) Mr Harrison was subsequently chosen Governor of Virginia, and was twice re-elected. His son, William Henry, of course enjoyed in childhood all the advantages which wealth and intellectual and cultivated society could give. Having received a thorough commnon-school education, lhe entered Hampden Sidney College, where he graduated with honor soocn cfter the death of his father. He ien repaired to Philadelphia to study medicine under the instructions of Dr. Rush and the guardianship of tobert Morris, both of whom were, with his father, signers of the Declaration of Independence. Upon the outbreak of the Indian troubles, and notwithstanding the 'emonstsances of his friends, he abandoned his medical studies and entered the arniy, laving obtained a commission of Ensign ~frolm Presi dent Washington. He was then but I9 years old From that time he passed gradually upward in rank until lie became aid to General Wayne, after whose death lie resigned his commission. He was then appointed Secretary of the North-western Territory. This I erritory vas then entitled to but one member in Congress and Capt. Harrison was chosen to fill that position. In the spring of 18oo the North-western Territory was divided by Congress into two portions. The eastern portion, comprising the region now embraced in the State of Ohio, was called " The Territory north-west of the Ohio." The western portion, which included what is now called Indiana, Illinois and W\isconsin, ewas called the "Indiana Territory." Wil.. |liam Henry lHarrison, then 27 years of age, was ap. pointed by John Adams,;overnor of the Indiana Territory, and immeniataely after, also Governor of Upper Louisiana. He was thus ruler over almost as extensive a realm as any sovereign upon the globe. He was Superintendent of Indian Affairs, and was invested with powers nearly dictatorial over the ne.w rapidly increasing white population. The ability and fidelity with which he discharged these responsiLle duties may lie inferred from the fact that he was four times appointed to this office-first by John Adanis, twice by Thomas Jefferson and afterwards by President Madison. When he began his adminstration there were but three white settlementsin that almost boundless region, now crowded with cities and resounding with all the tumult of wealth and traffic. One of these settlements was on the Ohio, nearly opposite Louisville; one at Vincennes, on the Wabash, and the third a French settlement. The vast wilderness over which Gov. -arrisot. reigned was filled with many tribes of Indians. Abo., WVILLIAM HENRY HARRISON..~_. - __. --..-. ~.. --- the year 1806, two extraordinary mer, twin brothers, of the Shawnese tribe, rose among them. One of these was called Tecumseh, or "The Crouching Panther;" the other, Olliwacheca, or "The Prophet." Tecumseh was not only an Indian warrior, but a man of great sagacity, far-reaching foresight and indomitable perseverance in any enterprise in which he might engage. He was inspired with the highest enthusiasm, and had long regarded with dread and with hatred the encroachment of the whites upon the huntinggrounds of his fathers. His brother, the Prophet, was anorator, who could sway the feelings of the untutored Indian as the gale tossed the tree-tops beneath which they dwelt. But the Prophet was not merely an orator: he was, i.i the superstitious minds of the Indianls, invested with the superhuman dignity of a medicine-man or a magician. With an enthusiasm unsurpassed by Peter the Hermit rousing Europe to the crusades, he went from tribe to tribe, assuming that lie was specially sent by the Great Spirit. Gov. Harrison made many attempts to conciliate the Indians, but at last the war came, and at ''ippecanoe the Indians were routed with great slaughter. October 28, i8I2, his army began its inarch. When near the Prophet's town three Indians of rank made their appearance and inquired why Gov. Harri.,on was approaching them in so hostile an attitude. After a short conference, arrangements were made for a meeting the next day, to agree upon terms of peace. But Gov. Harrison was too well acquainted with the Indian character to be deceived by such protestations. Selecting a favorable spot for his night's encampment, he took every precaution against surprise. His troops were posted in a hollow square, and slept upon their arms. The troops threw themselves upon the ground for rest; but every man had his accourtrements on, his loaded musket by his side, and his bayonet fixed. The wakeful Governor, between three and four o'clock in the morning, had risen, and was sitting in conversation with his aids by the embers of a waning fire. It was a chill, cloudy morning with a drizzling rain. In the darkness, the Indians had crept as near as possible, and jest then, with a savage yell, rushed, with all the desperation which superstition and passion most highly inflamed could give, upon the left flank of the little army. The savages had been amply provided with guns and ammunition by the English. Their war-whoop was accompained by a shower of bullets. The camp-fires were instantly extinguished, as the light aided the Indians in their aim. With hidesus yells, the Indian bands rushed on, not doubting a speedy and an entire victory. But Gen. Harrison's troops stood as immovable as the rocks around them until day dawned: they then made a simultaneous chrge with the bayonet, and swept every thing bere them, and completely routing the foe, Gov. Harrison now had all his energies tasked to the utmost. The British descending from the Canadas, were of themselves a very fornmidabie force; but with their savage allies, rushing like wolves from the forest, searcing out every remote farm-house, burning, plundering, scalping, torturing, the wide frontier was plunged into a state of consternation which even the most vivid imagisation catn but faintly conceive, The war-whoop i\as resounding everywhere in the forest. The horizon was illuminllated with the conflagration of the cabins of the settlers. Gern Ilull had made the ignominious surrender of his forces at Detroit. Under these despairing circumstances, Gov. Harrison was appointed by President Madison commnander-inchief of the North-western army, with orders to retake Detroit, and to protect the frontiers. It would be difficult to place a man in a situation demanding more energy, sagacity and courage; but General Harrison was found equal to the position, and nobly and triumplantly did he meet all the re sponsibilities. He won the love of his soldiers by always sharing with them their fatigue. His whole baggage, whilt purstuing the foe up the ''hamlies, was carried in a valise; and his bedding consisted of a single blanket lashed over his saddle 'Thirty-five British officers, his prisoners of war, slupped with him after tlhe Iattle. The only fare he could give them was beef roasted before the fire, without bread or salt. In 1816, Gen. Harrison was chosen a ineliber of the National House of Representatives, tc represent the District of Ohio. In Congrcss lie proved an active member; and whenever he spoke, it was with force of reason and power of eloquence, \which arrested the attention of all the members. In 819g, Harrison was elected to the Senate of Ohio; and in 1824, as one of the presidential electors of that State, he gave his vote for Henry Clay. The same year he was chosen to the United States Senate, In [836, the friends of Gen. Harrison brought him forward as a candidate for the Presidency against Van Buren, but he was defeated. At the close of Mr. Van Buren's term, he was re-nominated by his party, and Mr. Harrison was unaniimo u.sly nominated by the Whigs, with John Tyler forthe Vice Presidency. 'rhe contest was very animated. Gen Jackson gave all his influence to prevent Harrison's election; but his triumph was signal. The cabinet which he formed, with Daniel Webster at its head as Secretary of State, was one of the most brilliant with which any President had ever been surrounded. Never were the prospects of an administration more flattering, or tile hopes of the country more sanguine. In the midst of these bright and joyous prospects, Gen. Harrison was seized by a pleurisy-fever and after a few days of violent sickness, died on the 4th of April; just one month after his inauguration as President of the United States.

At the early age of twelve, John entered William and Mary College and graduated with much honor when but seventeen years old. After graduating, he devoted himself with great assiduity to the study of law, partly with his father and pirtly with Edmund Randolph, one of the most distinguished lawyers of Virginia. At nineteen years of age, ne commenced the practice of law. His success was rapid and astonishing. It is said that three months had not elapsed ere there was scarcely a case on the docket of the court in which he was. )t retained. When but twenty-one years of age, he was almost unanimously elected to a seat in the State lIegislature. He connected himself with the Demo-:ratic party, and warmly advocated the measures of Jefferson and Madison. For five successive years he was elected to the Legislature, receiving nearly the iulnnimous vote or his county. When but twenty-six years of age, he was elected miember of Congress. Here he acted earnestly and ably with the Democratic party, opposing a national Dank, internal improvements by the General tove-n. Were so arduous that before the close of his second term hl f to d it necessary to resign and retire to his estate in Charles-city Co., to recruit his health. He, however, soon after consented to take his seat in the State Ilegislature, where his influence was powerful in promoting public works of great utility. With a reputation thus canstantly increasing, he was chosen by a very large majority of votes, Governor of his native State. His administration was signally a successful one. His popularity secured his re-election. John Randolph, a brilliant, erratic, half-crazed man, then represented Virginia in the Senate of the United States. A portion of the Democratic party was displeased with Mr. Randolph's wayward course, and brought forward John Tyler as his opponent, considering him the only manl in Virginia of sufficient popularity to succeed against the renowned orator of Roanoke. Mr. Tyler was the victor. In accordance with his professions, upon taking his seat in the Senate, he joined the ranks of the opposition. He opposed the tariff; he spoke against and voted against the bank as unconstitutional; he strenuously opposed all restrictions upon slavery, resisting all projects of internal improvements by the General Government, and avowed his sympathy with Mr. Calhoun's view of nullification; lie declared that Gen. Jackson, by his opposition to the nullifiers, had abandoned the principles of the Democratic party. Such was Mr. Tyler's record in Congress,-a record in perfect accordance with the principles which he had always avowed. Returning to Virginia, he resumed the practice of Iis profession. There was a -plix in the Democratic JOHN TYLER. ~arty. His friends still regarded him as a true Jeffersonian, gave him a dinner, and showered complimients upon him. He had now attained the age of forty-six. His career had been very brilliant. In consequence of his devotion to public business, his private affairs had fallen into some disorder; and it was not without satisfaction that he resumed the practice of law, and devoted himself to the culture of his plantation. Soon after this he remo\ ed to Williamsburg, for the better education"of his children; and he again took his seat in the Legislature of Virginia. By the Southern Whigs, he was sent to the national convention at Harrisburg to nominate a President in 1839. The majority of votes were given to Gen. Harrison, a genuine Whig, much to the disappointment of the South, who wished for Henry Clay. To conciliate the Southern Whigs and to secure their vote, the convention then nominated John Tyler for Vice President. It was well known that he was not in sympathy with the Whig party in the No:th: but the Vice President has but yery little power in the Government, his main arid almost only duty being to preside over the meetings of the Senate. Thus it happened that a Whig President, and, in reality, a Democratic Vice President were chosen. In 1841, Mr. Tyler was inaugurated Vice President of the United States. In one short month from that time, President Harrison died, and Mr. Tyler thus _:und himself, to his own surprise and that ot the whole Nation, an occupant of the Presidential chair. This was a new test of the stability of our institutions, as it was the first time in the history of our country that such an event had occured. Mr. tyler was at home in Williamsburg when he received the unexpected tidings of the death of President Harrison. He hastened to Washington, and on the 6th of Arril was inaugurated to the high and responsible office. He was placed in a position of exceeding delicacy and difficulty. All his longlife he had been opposed tc the main principles of the party which had brought him into power. He had ever been a consistent, honc:t man, with an unblemished -record. Gen. Harrison had selected a Whig cabinet. Should he retain them, and thus surround himself with counsellors whose views were antagonistic to his own? or, on the other hand, should he turn against the party which had elected him and select a cabinet in harmony with himself, and which would oppose all those views which the Whigs deemed essential to the public welfare? This was his fearful dilemma. He invited the cabinet which President Harrison had selected to retain their seats. He reccomm'ended a day of fasting and prayer, that God would guide and bless us. The Whigs carried through Congress a bill for the incorporation of a fiscal bank of the United States. 'The President, after ten days' delay, returned it with his: v e. HDe sugested, however. that he would approve of a bill drawn up upon such a plan as he proposed. Such a bill was accordingly prepared, and privately submitted to him. He gave it his approval. It wvas passed without alteration, and he sent it back with his veto. Here commenced the open rupture. It is said that M.r. Tyler was provoked to this measure by a published letter from the Hon. John M. Botts, a distinguished Virginia Whig, who severely touched the pride of the President. The opposition now exultingly received the President into their arms. The party which elected him denounced hinm bitterly. All the members of his cabinet, excepting Mr. Webster, resigned. The Whigs of Congress, both the Senate and the House, held a meeting and issued an address to the people of the United States, proclaiming that all political alliance between the Whigs and President Tyler were at an end. Still the President attempted to conciliate. He appointed a new cabinet of distinguished Whigs and Conservatives, carefully leaving out all strong party men. Mr. Webster soon found it necessary to resign, forced out by the pressure of his Whig friends. Thus the four years of Mr. Tyler's unfortunate administration passed sadly away. No one was satisfied. The land was filled with murmurs and vituperation. Whigs and D)emocrais alike assailed him. More and more. however, he brought himself into sympathy with his old friends, the Democrats, until at the close of his term, he gave his whole influence to the support of Mr. Polk, the Democratie candidate for his successor. On the 4th of March, 1845, he retired from the harassments of office, tothe regret of neither party, and probably to his own unspeakable lelief. His first wife, Miss Letitia Christian, died in Washington, in 1842; and in June, r844, President Tyler was again married, at New York, to Miss Julia Gardiner,'a young lady of many personal and intellectual -accomplishments. The remainder of his days Mr. Tyler passed mainly in retirement at his beautiful horne,-Sher ood Forest, Charles city Co., Va. A polished gentleman in his manners, richly furnished with information from books and experience in the world, and possessing brilliant powers of conversation, his family circle was the scene of unusual attractions. With sufficient means for the exercise of a generous hospitality, he might have enjoyed a serene old age with the few friends who gathered around him, were it not for the storms of civil war which his own principles and policy had helped to introduce. When the great Rebellion rose, which the State., rights and nullifying doctrines of Mr. John C. Calhoun had inaugurated, President Tyler renounced his allegiance to the United States, and joined the Confederates. He was chosen a member of their Congress; and while engaged in active measures to destroy, bv force of arms, the Government over which he had once presided, he was taken sick and soon died.. 4 OR:, k I -11,-, Ilj 5 —.-k Ie & c - L-l-e'O — ELE VEN TH PRESIDE N. AMES K. POLK, the eleventh President of the United States, was born in Mecklenlcbrg Co., N. C., Nov. 2, I795. His par-; - f ents were Samuel and Jane ' /" (Knox) Polk, the former a son of Col. Thomas Polk, who located i at the above place, as one of the first pioneers, 1 n1 735. / ~'" In the year [3o6, with his wife and children, aid soon after followed l)y most of the members of the Polk famrly, Samuel Polk emigrated some two or three hundred miles farther west, to the rich valley of the Duck River. Here in the midst of the wilderness, in a region which was subsequently called Maury Co., they reared their log huts, and established their homes. In tlhe hard toil of a new farm in the wilderness, James K. Polk spent the early years of his childhood and youth. His father, adding the pursuit cf a surveyor to that of a farmer, gradually increased in wealth until he became one of the leading men of the region. His mother was a superior woman, of strong commol11n sense and earnest piety. Very early in life, James developed a taste for reading and expressed the strongest desire to obtain a liberal education. His mother's training had made him methodical in his habits, had taught him punctuality and industry, and had inspired him with lofty principles of morality. His health was frail; and his Lther, fearing that he might not be able to endure a sedentary life, got a situation for him behind the counter, hoping to fit him for commercial pursuits. This was to James a bitter disappointment, He had no taste for these duties, and his daily tasks were irksome in the extreme. He remained in this uncongenial occupation but a few weeks, when at his earnest solicitation his father removed him, and made arrangements for him to prosecute his studies. Soon after he sent him to Murfreesboro Academy. With ardor which could scarcely be surpassed, he pressed forward in his studies, and in less than two and a half years, in the autumn of 1815, entered the sophomore class in the University of North Carolina, at Chapel HIill. Here he was one of the most exemplary of scholars, punctual in every exercise, never allowing himself to be absent from a recitation or a religious service. He graduated in J8I8, with the highest honors,be. ing deemed the best scholar of his class, both in mathematics and the classics. He was then twentythree years of age. Mr. Polk's health was at this time much impaired by the assiduity with which he had prosecuted his studies. After a short season of relaxation he went to Nashville, and entered the office of Felix Grundy, to study law. Here Mr. Polk renewed his acquaintance with Andrew Jackson, who resided on his plantation, the Hermitage, but a few miles from Nashville. They had probably been slightly acquainted before. Mr. Polk's father was a Jeffersonian Republican, and James K. Polk ever adhered to the same political faith. He was a popular public speaker, and was constantly called upon to address the meetings of his party friends. His skill as a speaker was such that he was popularly called the Napoleon of the stump. He was a mian of unblemished morals, genial and JAfMES K. POLK. tourterus in his bearing, and with that sympathetic nature in the jo) s and griefs of others which ever gave him troops of friends. In i823, Mr. Polk was elected to the Legislatureof Tennessee. Here he gave his strong influance towards the election of his friend, Mr. Jackso:, to the Presidency of the United States. In January, 1824, Mr. Polk married Miss Sarah Childress, of Rutherford Co., Tenn. His bride was altogether worthy of him,-a lady of beauty and culture. In the fall of 1825, Mr. Polk was chosen a member of Congress. The satisfaction which he gave to his constituents may be inferred from the fact, that for fourteen successive years, until 1839, he was continueed in that office. He then voluntarily withdrew, only that he might accept the Gubernatorial chair of Tonnessee. In Congress he was a laborious menobqr, a frequent and a popular speaker. He was always in his seat, always courteous; and whenever he spoke it was always to the point, and without any ambitious rhetorical display..During five sessions of Congress, Mr. Polk was Speaker of the House Strong passions were roused, and stormy scenes were witnessed; but Mr Polk performed his arduous duties.to a very general satisfaction,and a unanimous vote of thanks to him was passed by the House as he withdrew on the 4th of March, 1839. In accordance with Southern usage, Mr. Polk, as a candidate for Governor, canvassed the State. He was elected by a large majority, and on the I4th of October, I839, took the oath of office at Nashville. In 1841, his term of office expired, and he was again the candidate of the Democratic party, but was defeated. On the 4th of March, 1845, Mr. Polk was inaugurated President of the United States. The verdict of the countryin favor of the annexation of Texas, exerted its influence upon Congress; and the last act of the administration of President Tyler was to affix his signature to a joint resolution of Congress, passed on the yd of March, approving of the annexation of Texas to the American Union. As Mexico still claimed Texas as one of her provinces, the Mexican minister, Almonte, immediately demanded his passports and left the country, declaring the act of the annexation to be an act hostile to Mexico. 'In his first message, President Polk urged that Texas should immediately, by act of Congress, be recivle into the Union on the same footing with the Sittbr $ta:e In the neamntirt, Gnn, Taylor was sent with an army into Texas to hold the country. He vwas sent first to Nueces, which the Mexicans said was the western boundary of Texas. Then he was sent nearly two hundred miles further west, to the Rio Grande, where he erected batteries which commanded the Mexican city of Matamoras, which was situated or the western banks. The anticipated collision soon took place, and wa; was declared against Mexico by President Polk. The war was pushed forward by Mr. Polk's administration with great vigor. Gen. Taylor, whose army was first called one of "observation," then of "occupation,' then of "invasion, "was sent forward to Monterey. The feeble Mexicans, in every encounter, were hopelessly and awfully slaughtered. The day of judgement alone can reveal the misery which this war caused. It was by the ingenuity of Mr. Polk's administration that the war was brought on. 'To the victors belong the spoils." Mexico was prostrate before us. Her capital was in our hands. We now consented to peace upon the condition that Mexico should surrender to us, in addition to Texas, all of New Mexico, and all of Upper and Lower California. This new demand embraced, exclusive of Texas, eight hundred thousand square miles. This was an extent of territory equal to nine States of the size of New York. Thus slavery was securing eighteen majestic States to be added to the Union. There were some Americans who thought it all right: there were others who thought it all wrong. In the prosecution of this war, we expended twenty thousand lives and more than a hlindred million of dollars. Of this money fifteen millions were paid to Mexico. On the 3d of March, 1849, Mr. Polk retired from office, having served one term. The next day was Sunday. On the 5th, Gen. Taylor was inaugurated as his successor. Mr Polk rode to the Capitol in the same carriage with Gen. Taylor; and the same evening, with Mrs. Polk, he commenced his return to Tennessee. He was then but fifty-four years of age. He had ever been strictly temperate in all his habits, and his health was good. With an ample fortune, a choice library, a cultivated mind, and domestic ties of the dearest nature, it seemed as though long years of tranquility and happiness were before him. But the cholera-that fearful scourge-was then sweeping up the Valley of the Mississippi. This he contracted, and died on the 15th of June, 1849, in the fifty-fourth year of his age, greatly mourned by his countrymen, I CWY'~7 TWELFTI~ PRESIDENT. 63 - IOWA- - ACHARY TAYLOR, twelfthll company of inlfantry numbering fifty men, many of.. t President of the United States, whomi were sick. _i wais lornl onl tile 24th of Nov., Early in the autullln of i82, the Indians, stealthily,.,'t/ 1784, il Orange Co., Va.

Thus with him the uneventful years roiled on Gradually he rose to the rank of colonel. In the Black Hawk war, which resulted in the capture of that renowned chieftain, Col Taylor took a subordinate but a brave and efficient part. For twenty-four years Col. Taylor was engaged in the defence of the frontiers, in scenes so remote, and in employments so obscure, that his name was unknown beyond the limits of his own immediate acquaintance. In the year 1836, he was sent to Florida to compel the Seminole Indians to vacate that region and retie beyond the Mississippi, as their chiefs by treaty, sa"e promised they should do. The services rendered here secured for Col. Taylor the high appreciation of the Government; and as a reward, he was elevated tc -he rank of brigadier-general by brevet; and soon after, in May, 1838, was appointed to the chief command of the United States troops in Florida. After two years of such wearisome employment amidst the everglades of the peninsula, Gen. Taylor obtained, at his own request, a change of command, and was stationed over the Department of the Southwest. This field embraced Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Georgia. Establishing his headquarters at Fort Jessup, in Louisiana, he removed his family to a plantation which he purchased, near Baton Rogue. Here he remained, for five years, buried, as it were, from the world, but faithfully discharging every duty imposed upon him. In 1846, Gen. Taylor was sent to guard the land between the Nueces and Rio Grande, the latter river being the boundary of Texas, which was then claimed by the United States. Soon the war with Mexico was brought on, and at Palo Alto and Resaca de la Palma, Gen. Taylor won brilliant victories over the Mexicans. The rank of major-general by brevet was then conferred upon Gen. Taylor, and his name was received with enthusiasm almost everywhere in the Nation. Then came the battles of Monterey and Buena Vista in which he won signal victories over forces much larger than he commanded. 'His careless habits of dress and his unaffected imnplicity, secured for Gen. Taylor among his troops, the sobriquet of "Old Rough and Ready.' Tne tidings of the brilliant victory of Buena Vista rpread the wildest enthusiasm over the country. The name ofGen. Taylor was on every one's lips. The Whig party decided to take advantage of this wonderful popularity in bringing forward the unpolished, un'-,ed honest soldier as their candidate for the eresideicy. Gen. Taylor was astonished at the announctement, and for a time would not listen to it; delaring that he was not atall qualified for such an office. So little interest had he taken in politics that, ft fortt years, he had not cast a vote. It was not iiihot chagrin that several distinguished statesmen *wio ad been lon years in the public service found vidir:laha seat asde in behalf of one whose name had never been heard of, save in connection with Palo Alto, Resaca de la Palma, Monterey and Buena Vista. It is said that Daniel Webster, int his haste remarked, " It is a nomination not fit to be made." Gen. Taylor was not an eloquent speaker nor a fine writer His friends took possession of him, and prepared such few communications as it was needful should be presented to the public. The popularity of the successful warrior swept the land. He was triumtphantly elected over two opposing candidates,Gen. Cass and Ex-President Martin Van Buren. Though he selected an excellent cabinet, the good old man found himself in a very uncongenial position, and was, at times, sorely perplexed and harassed. His mental sufferings were very severe, and probably tended to hasten his death. The pro-slavery party was pushing its claims with tireless energy, expeditions were fitting out to capture Cuba; California was pleading for admission to the Union, while slavery stood at the door to bar her out. Gen. Taylor found the political conflicts in Washington to be far more trying to the nerves than battles with Mexicans or Indians In the midst of all these troubles, Gen. Taylor, after he had occupied the Presidential chair but little over a year, took cold, and after a brief sickness of but little over five days, died on the 9th of July, 1850. His last wolds were, "I am not afraid to die. I am ready. I have endeavored to do my duty." He died universally respected and beloved. An honest, unpretending man, he had been steadily growing in the affections of the people; and the Nation bitterly lamented his death. Gen. Scott, who was thoroughly acquainted with Gen. Taylor, gave the following graphic and truthful description of his character:-" With a good store of common sense, Gen. 'aylor's mind had not been enlarged and refreshed by reading, or much converse with the world. Rigidity of ideas was the consequence. The frontiers and small military posts had been his home. Hence he was quite ignorant for his rank, and quite bigoted in his ignorance. His simplicity was child-like, and with innumerable prejudices, amusing and incorrigible, well suited to the tender age. Thus, if a man, however respectable, chanced to wear a coat of an unusual color, or his hat a little on one side of his head; or an officer to leave a corner of his handkerchief dangling from an outside pocket,-in any such case, this critic held the offender to be a coxcomb (perhaps something worse), whom he would not, to use his oft repeated phrase, 'touch with a pair of tongs.' "Any allusion to literature beyond good old Dilworth's spelling-book, on the part of' one wearing a sword, was evidence, with the same judge, of utter unfitness for heavy marchings and combats. In short few men have ever had a more comfortably. A"-,. saving contempt for learnirg of every kind.'

In 1823, when twenty-three years of age, he was admitted to the Court of Common Pleas. He then went to the village of Aurora, and commenced the practice of law. In this secluded, peaceful region, his practice of course was limited, and there was no opportunity for a sudden rise in fortune or in fame. Here, in the year 1826, he married a lady of great moral worth, and one capable of adorning any station she might be called to fill,-Miss Abigail Powers. His elevation of character, his untiring industry, his legal acquirements, and his skill as an advocate, gradually attracted attention; and he was invited to enter into partnership under highly advantageous circumstances, with an elder member of the bar in Buffalo. Just before removing to Buffalo, in I829, he took his seat in the House of Assembly, of the State of New York, as a representative from Erie County. Though he had never taken a very active part in politics, his vote and his sympathies were with the Whig party. The State was then Democratic, and he found himself in a helpless minority in the Legislature, still the testimony comes from all parties, that his courtesy, ability and integrity, won, to a very unusual degrt e the respect of his associates. In the autumn of 1832, he was elected to a seat in the United States Congress. He entered that troubled arena in some of the most tumultuous hours of our national history. The great conflict respecting the national bank and the removal of the deposits, was then raging. His term of two years closed; and he returned to his profession, which he pursued with increasing reputation and success. After a lapse of two years he again became a candidate for Congress; was reelected, and took his seat in 1837. His past expe rience as a representative gave him strength and confidence. The first term of service in Congress to any man can be but little more than an introduction. He was now prepared for active duty. All his energies were brought to bear upon the public good. Every measure received his impress. Mr. Fillmore was now a man of wide repute, and his popularity filled the State, and in the year 1847, j l\s pclep omptr9ler of the Ste. Mr. Fillmore had attained the age of forty-seven years. His labors at the bar, in the Legislature, in Congress and as Comptroller, had given him very considerable fame. The Whigs were casting about to find suitable candidates for President and Vice-President at the approaching election. Far away, on the waters of the Rio Grande, there was a rough old soldier, who had fought one or two successful battles with the Mexicans, which had caused his name to be proclaimed in trumpet-tones all over the land. But it was necessary to associate with hin on the same ticket some man of reputation as a statesman. Under the influence of these considerations, the namesof Zaclary Taylor and Millard Fillmore became the rallying-cry of the Whigs, as their candidates for President and Vice-Peesident. The Whig ticket was signally triumphant. On the 4th of March, 1849, Gen. Taylor was inaugurated President, and Millard Fillmore Vice-President, of the United States. On the 9th of July, 185o, President Taylor, but about one year and four months after his inaugura tion, was suddenly takern sick and died. By the Constitution. Vice-President Fillmore thus became I'resident. He appointed a very able cabinet, of which the illustrious Daniel Webster was Secretary of State. Mr. Fillnrore had very serious difficulties to contend with, since the opposition had a majority in both Houses. He did everything in his power to conciliate the South; but the pro-slavery party in the South felt the inadequacyof all measuresof transient conciliation. The ipopulation of the free States was so rapidly increasing over that of the slave States that it was inevitable that the power of the Government should soon pass into the hands of the free States. The famous compromise measures were adopted under Mr. Fillmcre's adminstration, and the Japan Exlpeditioin was sent out. On the 4th of March, 1853, Mr. Fillmore, having served one term, retired. In i856, Mr. Fillmore was nominated for the Presidency by the " Know Nothing " party, but was beaten by Mr. Buchanan. After that Mr. Fillmore lived in retirement. During the terrible conflict of civil war, he was mostly silent. It was generally supposed that his sympathies were rather with those who were endeavoring to overthrow our institutions. President Fillmore kept aloof from the conflict, without any cordial words of cheer to the one party or the other. He was thus forgotten by both. He lived to a ripe 910 age, and died in Buffalo. N.

H., Nov. 23, 1804. His father was a X5 Revolltionary soldier, who, with his own strong ar.ni, hewed out a homte in the wilderness. He was a man of inflexible integrity; of strong, though uncultivated l mind, and all uncoimpromist1 ing l)emocrat. The mother of I Franklin Pierce was all that a soil could desire,-an intelligent, prudent, affectionate, Christian woman. Franklin was the sixth of eight children. Franklin was a very bright and handsome boy, generous, warm-hearted and brave. He won alike the love of old and young. The boys on the play ground loved him. His teachers loved him. The neighbors looked upon him with pride and affection. Hie was by instinct a gentleman; always speaking kind words, doing kind deeds, with a peculiar unstudied tact which taught him what was agreeable. Without developing any precocity of genius, or any unnatural devotion to books, he was a good scholar; in body, in mind, in affections, a finely-developed boy. When sixteen years of age, in the year I820, he entered Bowdoin College, at Brunswick, Me He was one of the most popular young men in the college. The purity of his moral character, the unvarying courtesy of his demeanor, his rank as a scholar, and genial nature, rendered him a universal favorite. There was something very peculiarly winning in his address, and it was evidently not in the slightest degree studied: it was the simple outgushing of his own nmagnanimous and loving nature. Upon graduating, in the year I824, Franklin Pierce commenced the study of law in the office of Judge Woodbury, one of the most distinguished lawyers of the State, and a man of great private worth. The eminent social qualities of the young lawyer, his father's prominence as a public man, and the brilliant political career into which Judge Woodbury was entering, all tended to entice Mr. Pierce into the faci. nating yet perilous path of political life. With all the ardor of his nature he espoused the cause of Gen. Jackson for the Presidency. He commenced the practice of law in Hillsborough, and was soon elected to represent the town in the State Legislature. Here he served for four years. The last two yeais he was chosen speaker of the house by a very large vote. In 1833, at the age of twenty-nine, he was elected a member of Congress. Without taking an active part in debates, he was faithful and laborious in duty. and ever rising in the estimation of those with whom he was associatad. InI 1837, being then but thirty-three years of age, he was elected to the Senate of the United States; taking his seat just as Mr. Van Buren commenced his administration. He was the youngest member in the Senate. In the year 1834, he married Miss Jane Means Appleton, a lady of rare beauty and accomplishments, and one admirably fitted to adorn every station with which her husband was honoicd, (f tlh ~ hbRANKLIN PIERCE......... three sons who were born to them, all now sleep with His administration proved one of the most stormy our their parents in the grave. - country had ever experienced.

Upon this question he was brought into direct collision with Heary Clay. He also, with voice'and vote, advocated expunging from the journal of the Senate the vote of censure against Gen. Jackson for removing the deposits. Earnestly he opposed the abolition of slavery in the District of Columbia, and urged the prohibition of the circulation of anti-slavery documents by the United States mails. As to petitions on the subject of slavery, he advocated that they should be respectfully received; and that the reply should be returned, that Congress had no power to legislate upon the subject. ' Congress," said he, " might as well undertake to interfere with slavery under a foreign government as in any of the States where it now exists." Upon Mr. Polk's accession to the Presidency, Mr. Buchanan became Secretary of State, and as such, took his share of the responsibility in the conduct of the Mexican War. Mr. Polk assumed that crossing the Nueces by the American troops into the disputed territory was not wrong, but for the Mexicans to cross the Rio Grande into that territory was a declaration of war. No candid man can read with pleasure the account of the course our Government pursued in that movement. Mr. Buchanan identified himself thoroughly with the party devoted to the perpetuation and extension of slavery, and brought all the energies of his mind to bear against the Wilmot Proviso. He gave his cordial approval to the compromise measures of 1350, which included the fugitive-slave law. Mr. Pierce, upon his election to the Presidency, honored Mr. Buchanan with the mission to England. In the year I856, a national Democratic convention nominated Mr. Buchanan forthe Presidency. 'he political conflict was one of the most severe in which our country has ever engaged. All the friends of slavery were on one side; all the advocates of its restriction and final abolition, on the other. Mr. Fremont, the candidate of the enemies of slavery, received 114 electoral votes. Mr. Buchanan received r74, and was elected. The' popular vote stood.340,618, for Fremont, 1,224,750 for Buchanan. On March 4th, r857, Mr. Buchanan was inaugurated. Mr. Buchanan was far advanced in life. Only four,rears were wanting to fill up his threescore years and ten. His own friends, those with whom he had been allied in political principles and action for years, were seeting the destruction of the Government, that they might rear upon the ruins of our free institutions a isation whose comer.stone should be human slavery. in this emergency, Mr. Buchanan was hopelessly bewilW rd He could not, with his long-avowed prin ciples, consistently oppose the State-rights party in their assumptions. As President of the United States, bound by his oath faithfully to administer the laws he could not, without perjury of the grossest kind, unite with those endeavoring to overthrow the republic. He therefore did nothing. Theoppolents of Mr. Buchanan's administration nominaled Abraham Lincoln as their standard bearer in the next Presidential canvass. The pro-slavery party declared, that if he were elected, and the control of the Government were thus taken from their hands, they would secede from the Union, taking with them, as they retired, the National Capitol at Washington, and the lion's share of the territory of the United States. Mr. Buchanan's sympathy with the pro-slavery party was such, that he had been willing to offerthem far more than they had ventured to claim. All the South had professed to ask of the North was nonintervention upon the subject of slavery. Mr. Buchanan had been ready to offer them the active cooperation of the Government to defend and extend the institution. As the storm increased in violence, the slaveholders claiming the right to secede, and Mr. Buchanan avowing that Cotgress had no power to prevent it, one ol the most pitiable exhibitions of governmental in,becility was exhibited the world has ever seen. He declared that Congress had no power to enforce its laws in any State which had withdrawn, or whi h was attempting to withdraw from the Union. 'l.i. was not the doctrine of Andrew Jackson, when, will, his hand upon his sword-hilt, he exclaimed. " 'I'lUnion must and shall be preserved!" South Carolina seceded in Decembler, 186o; nearly three months before the inauguration of President Lincoln. Mr. Btuchanan looked on in listless despair. The rebel flag was raised in Charleston Fort SumnLpter was besieged; our forts, navy-yards and arsenals were seized; our depots of military stores were plundered; and our customn-houses and post-offices were appropriated by the rebels.. The energy of the rebels, and the imbecility of our Executive, were alike marvelous. The Nation looked on in agony, waiting for the slow weeks to glide away, and close the administration, so terrible in its weakness At length the long-looked-for hour of deliverance came, when Abraham Lincoln was to receive the scepter. The administration of President Buchanan was certainly the most calamitous our country has experienced. His best friends cannot recall it with pleasure. And still more deplorable it is for his fame, that in that dreadful conflict which rolled its billow, of flame and blood over our whole land, no word came from his lips to indicate his wish that our country's banner should triumph over the flag of the rebellion.

In 1832, at the outbreak of the Black Hawk war, he enlisted and was chosen captain of a company. He retirned to Sa.igamon County, and although only 23 yetsof age, was a candidate for the Legislature, but was defeated. He soon after received from Andrew Jackson the appointment of Postmaster of New Salem, His only post-office was his hat. All the letters he received he carried there ready to deliver to those he chanced to meet. He studied surveying, and soon made this his business. In 1834 he again became a candidate for the Legislature, and was elected Mr. Stuart, of Springfield, advised him to study law. He walked from New Salem to Springfield, borrowed of Mr. Stuart a load of books, carried them back and began his legal studies. When the Legislature assembled he trudged on foot with his pack on his back one hundred miles to Vandalia, then the capital. In 1836 he was re-elected to the Legislature. Here it was he first met Stephen A. Douglas. In 1839 he removed to Springfield and began the practice of law. His success with the jury was so great that he was soon engaged in almost every noted case in the circuit. In I854 the great discussion began between Mr. Lincoln and Mr. Douglas, on the slavery question. In the organization of the Republican party in Illinois, in 1856, he took an active part, and at once became one of the leaders in that party. Mr. Lincoln's speeches in opposition to Senator Douglas in the contest in.r858 for a seat in the Senate, form a most notable part of his history. The issue was on the slavery question, and he took the broad ground of;he Declaration of Independence, that all men are created equal. Mr. Lincoln was defeated in this contest, but won a far higher prize. The great Republican Convention met at Chicago on the r6th of June, I860. The delegates and strangers who crowded the city amounted to twentyfive thousand. An immense building called "The Wigwam," was reared to accommodate the Convention. There were eleven candidates for whom votes were thrown. William H. Seward, a man whose fame as a statesman had long filled the land, was the most orominent. It was generally supposed he would be the nominee. Abraham Lincoln, however, received the nomination on the third ballot. Little did he then dream of the weary years of toil and care, and the bloody death, to which that nomination doomed him: and aslittle did he dream that he was to render services to his country, which would fix upon him the eyes of the *hole civilized world, and which would give him a place in the affections of his countrymen, second cely, if second, to that of Washington. fElection day came and Mr. Lincoln received r80 elec l votes out of 203 cast, and was, therefore, coCmaitstionaty elected President of the United States. 'le:tiradeif abue.that was poured upon this good Iand merciful man, especially by the slaveholders, was greater than upon any other man ever elected to this high position. In February, 186i, Mr. Lincoln started for Washington, stopping in all the large cities on his way making speeches. The whole journey was frought with much danger. Many of the Southern States had already seceded, and several attempts at assassination were afterwards brought to light. A gang in Baltimore had arranged, upon his arrival to" get up a row," and in the confusion to mIake sure of his death with revolvers and hand-grenades. A detective unravelled the plot. A secret and special train was provided to take him from Harris!!urg, through Baltimore, at ar unexpected hour of the night. The train started at half-past ten; and to prevent al.y possible communication on the part ot the Secessionists with their Co - federate gang in Baltimore, as soon as the train ha,: started the telegraph-wires were cut. Mr. Lincoln reached Washington in safety and was inaugurated, although great anxiety was felt by all loyal people In the selection of his cabinet Mr. Lincoln gave to Mr Seward the Department of State, and to other prominent opponents before the convention he gave important positions. During no other administration have the duties devolving upon the President been so mianifold, and the responsibilities so great, as those which fell to the lot of President Lincoln. Knowing this, and feeling his own weakness and inability to meet, and in his own strength to cope with, the difficulties, he learned early to seek Divine wisdom and guidance in determining his plans, and Divine comfort in all his trials, bo'h personal and national Co:ntrary to his own estimate of himself, Mr. Lincoln was one of the most courageous of men. He went directly into the rebel capital just as the retreating foe was leaving, with no guard but a few sailors. Front the timhe he had left Springfield, in 186I, however, plans had been made for his assassination,and he at last fell a victim to one of them. April 14, i865, he, with Gen. Grant, was urgently invited to attend Fords' Theater. It was announced that they would Le present. Gen. Grant, however, left the city. President Lincoln, feeling, witli his characteristic kindliness of heart, that it would be a disappointment if he should fail them, very reluctantly consented to go. While listening to the play an actor by the name of John Wilkes Booth entered the box where the President and family were seated, and fired a bullet into his brains. He died the next morning at seven o'clock. Never before, in the history of the world was a nation plunged into such deep grief ly the death of its ruler. Strong men met in the streets and wept in speechless anguish. It is not too much to say that a nation was in tears. His was a life which will fitly become a model. His name as the savior of his country v^.1 live with that of Washington's, its father; his corntrymen being unable to decide whit-h is the greater.

Under her instructions he learned to write and cipher. He became prominent in the village debating society, and a favorite with the students of Greenville College. In 1828, he or. ganized a working man's party, which elected him alderman, and in 1830 elected him mayor, which position he held three years. He now began to take a lively interest in political affairs; identifying himself with the working-classes, to which lhe belonged. In 1835, he was elected a member of the House of Representatives of Tennessee. He was then just twenty-seven years of age. He became a very active member of the legislature gave his adhesion to the Democratic party, and in, 1840 "stumped the State," advocating Martin YVan Buren's claims to the Presidency, in opposition to thos, of Gen. Harrison. In this campaign he acquired much readiness as a speaker, and extended and increased his reputation. In 1841, he was elected State Senator; in 1843, he was elected a member of Congress, and by successive elections, held that important post for ten years. In I853, he was elected Governor of Tennessee, and was re-elected in I855. In all these resl)onsible posi tions, he discharged his duties with distinguished abi. ANDREW JOHNSON.

Years before, in 1845, he had warmly advocated the annexation of Texas, stating however, as his reason, that he thought this annexation would probably prove "to be the gateway out of which the sable sons of Africa are to pass from bondage to freedom, and become merged in a population congenial to themselves." In 1850, he also supported the compromise measures, the two essential features of which were, that the white people of the Territories should be permitted to decide for themselves whether they would enslave the colored people or not, and that the tree States of the North should return to the South persons who attempted to escape from slavery. Mr. Johnson was never ashamed of his lowly origin: on the contrary, he often took pride in avowing that he owed his distinction to his own exertions. "Sir," said he on the floor of the Senate, " I do not forget that I am a mechanic; neither do I forget that Adam was a tailor and sewed fig leaves, and that our Savior was the son of a carpenter." In the Charleston-Baltimore convention of I18o, ile was the choice of the Tennessee Democrats for the Presidency. In i86r, when the purpose of the Southam Democracy became apparent, he took a decided stand in favor of the Union, and held that " slavery must be held subordinate to the Union at whatever cost." He returned to Tennessee, and repeatedly imperiled his own life to protect the Unionists of Tennesee. Tennessee having seceded from the Union, President Lincoln, on March 4th, i862, appointed him Military Governor of the State, and he established the most stringent military rule. His numerous proclamations attracted wide attention. In 1864, he was elected Vice-President of the United States, and upon the death of Mr. Lincoln, April 15, i865, became President. In a speech two days later he said, "The American people must be taught, if they do not already feel, that treason is a crime and must be pcnished; that the Government will not always bear with its enemies; that it is strong not on:i- to protect, but to punish. * * The people miist understand that it (treason) is the blackest of:ctimes, id will surely be punished." Yet his whole. it.atin, the history of which is so well known,:watit l e itnauistency with, and the most violent opposition to, the principles laid down in that speech. In his loose policy of reconstruction and general amnesty, he was opposed by Congress; and he characterized Congress as a new rebellion, and lawlessly defied it, in everything possible, to the utmost. In the beginning of 1868, on account of "high crimes and misdemeanors," the principal of which was the removal of Secretary Stanton, in violation of the Tenure of Office Act, articles of impeachment were preferred against him, and the trial began March 23. It was very tedious, continuing for nearly three months. A test article of the impeachment was at length submitted to the court for its action. It was certain that as the court voted upon that article so would it vote upon all. Thirty-four voices pronounced the President guilty. As a two-thirds vote was necessary to his condemnation, he was pronounced acquitted, notwithstanding the great majority against him. The change of one vote from the not guilty side would have sustained the impeachment. The President,'for the remainder of his tern, was but little regarded. He continued, though impotent;his conflict with Congress. His own party did not think it expedient to renominate hin for the Presidency. The Nation rallied, with enthusiasml unparalleled since the days of Washington, around the name of Gen. Grant. Andrew Johnson was forgotten. The bullet of the assassin introduced him to the President's chair. Notwithstanding this, never was there presented to a man a better opportunity to immortalize his name, and to win the gratitude of a nation. He failed utterly. He retired to his home in Greenville, Tenn., taking no very active part in politics until 1875. On Jan. 26, after an exciting struggle, he was chosen by the Legislature of Tennessee, United States Senator in the forty-fourth Congress, and took his seat in that body, at the special session convened by President Grant, on the 5th of March. On the 27th of July, 1875, the ex-President made a visit to his daughter's home, near Carter Station, Tenn. When he started on his journey, he was apparently in his usual vigorous health, but on reaching the residence of his child the following day, was stricken with paralysis, rendering him unconscious. He rallied occasionally, but finally passed away at 2 A.M., July 31, aged sixty-seven years. His funeral was attended at Geenville, on the 3d of August, with every demonstration of respect. 4- A 7A &IGH 7-EENTTI P'RESIDENT. 87 AII lliNI R~DN.8! TT' LYSSES S.

His ancestry on both li the pL"ternal and maternal sides, was of the most honorable charas far l)ack as 1 280, when H aves and J/ ' Rutherford were two Scottish clief( tains, fighting side by side with! Baliol, \illiam Wallace and Robert 3 Bruce. Both families belonged to the w nobility, owned extensive estates, and had a large following. Misforcane cv:-. i king the family, George Hayes left Scot-.and in 16i;o, and settled in Windsor, Conn. His son George wa, lborn in Windsor, and remained there during his life. Daniel Hayes, son of the latter, married Sarah L>e, and lived from the time of his marriage until h:s death in Simsbury, Conn. Ezekiel, son of Daniel, was born in 1724, and was a manufacturerof scythes at Bradford, Conn. Rutherford Hayes, son of Ezekiel aid grandfather of President Hayes, was born in New Haven, in August, I756. He was a farmer, blacksmith and tavern-keeper. He emigrated to Vermont at an uniknown date, settling in BEattleboro, where he established a hotel. Here his son Rutherford Hayes the father of President Hayes, was born. He was married, in September, 1813, to Sophia Birchard, of Wilmington, Vt., whose ancestors emigrated thither fronm Connecticut, they having been amtong the sealthiest ancd best fanmlies of Norwich. Her ancestry on the male side are traced back to G635, to John Birchard, one of the principal founders of Norwich. Both of her grandfathers were soldiers in the Revolutionary War. The father of President Hayes was an industrious frugal and olpeed-lhearted iian. lie was of a me. chanical turn, and could miiend a plow, knit a stocking, or do almost anything else that he choose to undertake. He was a meimber of the Church, active in all the benevolent enterprises of the town, and conducted his busincss on Christian principles. After the close of the war of, i 2, for reasons inexplicable to his neighbors, he resolved to emigrate to Ohio. The journey from Vermont to Ohio in that day. when there were no canals, steamers, noi railways, was a very serious affair. A tour of inspection was first made, occupying four months. Mr. Hayes deter inlled to move to Delaware, where the family arrived in 1817. He died July 22, 1822, a victim of malarial fever, less than three months before the birth of the son,of whom we now write. Mrs. Hayes, in her sore bereavement, found the support she so much needed in her brother Sardis, who had been a member of the household from the day of its departure from Vermont, and in an orphan girl whom she had adopted some time before as an act of charity. Mrs, Hayes at this period was very weak, and the RUTHERFORD B. HA YES. subject of this sketch was so feeble at birth that he was not expected to live beyond a month or two at most. As the months went by he grew weaker and weaker, so that the neighbors were in the habit of inquiring from time to time " if Mrs. Hayes' baby died iast night.' On one occasion a neighbor, who was on familiar terms with the family, after alluding to the boy's big head, and the mother's assiduous care of sim, said in a bantering way, " That's right! Stick to him. Yoa have got him along so far, and I shouldn't wonder if he wo.ild really come to something yet." " You reed not laugh," said Mrs. Hayes. "You iait and see. You can't tell but 1 shall make him Pre.ident of the United States yet." The boy lived, in spite of the universal predictions of his speedy death; and when, in i825, his older brother was drowned, he became, if possible, still dearer to his mother, The boy was seven years old before lie went to school. His education, however, was not neglected. He probably learned as much trom his mother and Ister as he would have done at school. His sports were al nost wholly within doors, his playmates being his sister and her associates. These circumstances tended, no doubt, to foster that gentleness of disposition, and that delicate consideration for the feelings of others, which are marked traits of his character. His uncle Sardis Birchard took the deepest interest in his education; and as the boy's heahlth had irmproved, and he was making good progress in his studies, lhe proposed to send him to college. His prep.iration commenced with a tutor at home; b;t he was afterwards sent for one year to a professor in the Wesleyan University, in Middletown, Conn. He entered Kenyon College in 1838, at the age of sixteen, and was graduated at the head of his class in I842. Immediately after his graduation lhe began the study of law in the office of Thomas Sparrow, Esq., in Columtbus. Finding his opportunities for study in Columbus somewhat limited, he determined to enter the Law School at Cambridge, Mass., where le remained two years. In I845, after graduating at the Law School, he was admitted to the bar at Marietta, Ohio, and shortly afterward went into practice as an attorney-at-law with Ralph P. Buckland, of Fremont. Here he remained three years, acquiring but a limited practice, and apparently unambitious of distinction in his profession. kn I849 lie moved to Cincinnati, where his ambition found a new stimulus. For several )years, however, his progress was slow. Two events, occurring at this period, had a powerful influence upon his subsequent 'fe. One of these was his marrage with Miss Lucy Ware Webb, daughter of Dr. James Webb, of Chilicotle; the other was his introduction to the Cincinnati Literary Club, a body embracing among its nemberi such men as'hief Justice Salmon P. Chase, Gen. John Pope, Gov. Edward F. Noyes, and many others hardly less distinguished in after life. The marriage was a fortunate one in every respect, as everybody knows. Not one of all the wives of our Presidents was more universally admired, reverenced and beloved than was Mis. Hayes, and no one did more than she to reflect honor upon Amnerican wonman hood. The Literary Cluto broLught Mr. Hayes;'nto constant association with young nien of high chlar acter and noble aims, anid lured hirm to display f.ie qualities so long hidden by his lbaslhfulne-.s and modesty. In i856 he was nominated to the office of Jud,'' of the Court of Common Pleas; but he declined to accept the nomination. Two years later, the office o! city solicitor becoming vacant, the City Co'':nci elected him for the unexpired temvii. In i861, when the Rebellion irroke out, hlie wa a tile zenith of his professional ''... flis lank at h.1c bar was amiong the the first. Tiut the news uf the attack on Fort Sumpter found hini eager to take -tl arms for the defense of his corrntry. Hlis military record was bright an:d illustrious.

Sulrse(quleCtly, however, hI was made Colonel of his old regiment. At the battle of South MouTntain he received a sNwound, and while faint and bleeding displayed courage aznd fortitude that won admiration fromr all. Col. Hayes was detachled from his regimrent, after his recovery, to act as Brigadier-General, an.d placed in command of the celelrated Kanawha division, and for gallant and mieritorious services iii the battles of WVinchester, Fisher's Hill annd Cedar Creek, he was promoted Brigadier-General. He was also brevetted Major-General, "forpahllan t iri(i listir uisicld e rvices during the campaigns of i864, in West Virginia." In the course of his arduous services, four horses were shot from under lirm, and he was wounded four times: In i864, Gen. Hayes was elected to Congress, fromn the Second Ohio District, which had long been Democratic. He was not present during the campaign, and after his election was importuned to resign his conmmission iln the army; but he finally declared, "I shall never come to Washington until I can come by the way of Richmond.s" IHe was re-elected in 1866. I;- r867, Gen Haves was elected Governor of Ohio, over Hon. Allen G. Thurmnan, a populai Democrat. In 1869 was re-elected over George H. Pendleton. He was elected Governor for the third term in 1875.

Dr. No;ah Porter, President of mother in he- tttilggles to keep the little family to- Yale College, says of him in reference to his religion: JAMES A. GARFIELD. -- - "President Garfield was more than a man of strong moral and religious convictions. His whole history, from boyhood to the last, shows that duty to man and to God, and devotion to Christ and life and faith and spiritual commission were controlling springs of his being, and to a more than usual degree. In my judgment there is no more interesting feature of his character than his loyal allegiance to the body of Christians in which he was trained, and the fervent sympathy which he ever showed in their Christian communion. Not many of the few 'wise and mighty and noble who are called' show a similar loyalty to the less stately and cultured Christian communions in which they have been reared. Too often it is true that as they step upward in social and political significance they step upward from one degree to another in some of the many types of fashionable Cliristianity. President Garfield adhered to the -hurch of his mother, the church in which he was trained, and in which le served as a pillar and an evangelist, and yet with the largest and most unsec'arian charity for all 'who love our Lord in sincerity."' Mr. Garfield was united in marriage with Miss Lucretia Rudolph, Nov. x, 1858, who proved herself worthy as the wife of one whom all the world loved and mourned. To them were born seven children, five of whom are still living, four boys and one girl. Mr. Garfield made his first political speeches in 1856, 'n Hiram and the neighboring villages, and three years later he began to speak at county mass-meetings, and became the favorite speaker wherever ihe was. l)Dring this year he was elected to the Ohio Senate. He also began to study law at Cleveland, and in r86[ was admitted to the bar. The great Rebellion broke out in the early part of this year, and Mr. Garfield at once resolved to fight as he had talked, and enlisted to defend the old flag. He received his commission as Lieut.-Colonel of the Fortysecond Regiment of Ohio Volunteer Infantry, Aug. 14, I86i. He was immediately put into active service, and betore le had ever seen a gun fired in action, was placed in command of four regiments of infantry and eight companies of cavalry, charged with the work of driving out of his native State the officer,Humphrey Marshall) reputed to be the ablest of those, not educated to war whom Kentucky had given to the Rebellion. This work was bravely and speedily accomplished, although against great odds. President Lincoln, on his success commissioned him Brigadier-General, Jan. Io, 1862; and as "he had been the youngest man in the Ohio Senate two years before, so now he was the youngest General in the army.' He was with Gen. Buell's army at Shiloh, in itsoperations around Corinth and its march through Alabama. He was then detailed as a memberof the General Court-Martial for the trial of Gen. Fitz-John Porter. He was then ordered to report to Gen. Rosecrans, and was assigned to the "Chief of Staff." The tmilitary lstory of Geto Garfield closed with his brilliant services at Chickamauga, where he wor the stars of the Major-General. Without an effort oln his part Ge? (,arfield wa. elected to Congress in the fall of i862 frort the Nineteenth District of Ohio. Tlis section of Ohio had been represented in Congiess for sixty years mainly by two men —Elisha iWhittlesey and Joshua R. Giddings. It was not without a struggle that he resigned his place in the army. At tlhe time lheentered Congress lie was thle yorungest rmember in that body. Theri- he rema.ined by successive reelections until lie was elected President in 1880. Of his labors in Congress Senator I Ioar says: " Since the year I864 you cannot think of a question whici. has been debated in Congress, or discussed before, tribunel of the American people, in regard to whic5l you will not find, if you wish rnstruction, the argu. mernt on one side stated, in almost every instance better than by anybody else, in some speech made in the House of Representatives or on the hustings by Mr. Garfield." Upoln Jan. 14, I880, (;en. (;arfield was elected to the U. S. Senate, and on tlhe eighth of June, of the same year, was nominated as the candidate of his party for President at the great Chicago Convention. He was elected in the following November, and on March 4, I88I, was inaugurated. Probabliy no administration ever opened its existence runder brighter aulspices than that of President Garfield, and every day it grew in favo: witli the people, and by the first of July he had completed all the initiatory and prelimlinary work of his admrinistration and was preparing to leave the city to meet his friends at Williams College. While oni his way and at the depot, in company witli Secretary Blaine, a man steplped lbehind himi, drew a revolver, and fired directly at his back. The President tottered and fell, and as he did so the assassin fired a second shot, the bullet cutting the left coat sleeve of his victiml, but inl.icting nofurther injury. It has been very truthfully said that this was " the shot that was heard round the world " Never before in the history of the Nation had any)thing occurred which so nearly froze the blood of the peop': for tile moment, as this awful deed. lie was smit. ten on the brightest, gladdest day of all his life, and was at the summit of his power and hope. Foreighty days, all during the hot months of July and August, he lingered and suffered. Ile, however, remained master of himself till the last, and by his magnlificent bearing was teaching tlhe country and the world the noblest of humian lessons-how to live grandly in the very clutch of death. Great in life, he was sutrpassingly great in death. He passed serenely away Sept. r9, I883, at Elleron, N. J, on the very bank of the ocean, where he had been taken shortly previous.

I followed their example. Before that the Sixth Avenue Company ran a few special cars for colored persons and the other lines refused to let them ride at all. General Arthur was a delegate to the Convention at Saratoga that founded the Republican party. Previous to the war he was Judge-Advocate of the Second Brigade of the State of New York, and Governor Morgan, of that State, appointed him Engineerin-Chief of his staff. In i861, he was made Inspector General, and soon afterward became Quartermaster-General. In each of these offices he rendered great service to the Government during the war. At the end of Governor Morgan's term he resumed the practice of the law, forming a partnership with Mr. Ransom, and then Mr. Phelps, the District Attorney of New Yolk, was added to the firm. The legal practice of this well-known firmnn was very large and lucrative, each of the gentlemen composing it were able lawyers, and possessed a splendid local reputation, if not indeed one of national extent. He always took a leading part in State and city politics. He was appointed Collector of the Port of New York by President Grant, Nov. 21 1872, to succeed Thomas Murphy, and held the office until July, 20, 1878, when he was succeeded by Collector Merritt. Mr. Arthur was nominated on the Presidential ticket, with Gen. James A. Garfield, at the famous National Republican Convention held at Chicago in June, 188o. This was perhaps the greatest political convention that ever assembled on the continent. It was composed of the brading politicians of the Republican party, all able men, and each stood firm and fought vigorously and with signal tenacity for their respective candidates that were before the convention for the nomination. Finally Gen. Garfield received the nomination for President and Gen. Arthur for Vice-President. The campaign which followed was one of the most animated known in the history of our country. Gen. Hancock, the standard-bearer of the Democratic party, was a popular man, and his party made a valiant fight for his election. Finally the election came and the country's choice,vas Garfield and Arthur. They were inaugurated March 4, I881, as President and Vice-President. A. few months only had passed ere the newly chosen President was the victim of the assassin's bullet. Then came terrible weeks of suffering,-those moments of?WWIS suspense, wIher the hearts of all ciyilied na tions were throbbing in unison, longing for the re covery of the noble, the good President. The remarkl able patience that he manifested during those hours and weeks, and even months, of the.most terrible suffering man has often been called tupon to endure, was seemingly more than human. It was certainlv Godlike. During all this period of deepest anxiety Mr. Arthur's every move vwas watched, and be it said to his credit that his every action displayed only an earnest desire that the suffering Garficld might recover, to serve the remainder of the term he had so auspiciously begun. Not a selfish feeling was manifested in deed or look of this manl, even though the most honored position in the world was at any moment likely to fall to hilm. At last God in his mercy relieved President Garfield from further suffering, and the world, as never before in its history over the death of any other man, wept at his bier. Then it became the duty of the Vice President to Kassumse the responsibilities of the high office, and he took the oath in New York. Sept. 20, x88t. The position was an embarrassing one to him, made doubly so from the facts that all eyes were on him, anxious to know what he would do, what policy he would pursue, and who he would select as advisers. The duties of the office had been greatly neglected during the President's long illness, and many important measures were to be immediately decided by him; and still farther to embarrass him he did not fail to realize under what circumstances he became President, and knew the feelings of many on this point. Unsder these trying circuminstances President Arthur took the reins of the Government in his own hands; and, as embarrassing as were the condition of affairs, he happily surprised the nation, acting sir wisely that but few criticised his administration. He served the nation well and faithfully, until the close of his administration, March 4, 1885, and was a popular candidate before his party for a second term. His name was ably presented before the convention at Chicago, and was received with great favor, and doubtless but for the personal popularity of one of the opposing candidates, he would have been selected as the standard-bearer of his party for another cam paign. He retired to private life carrying with him the best wishes of the American people, whom he had served in a manner satisfactory to the.m and with credit to himself, TWENTY-SECOND PRESIDENT. 103 ------- - - _: TEPHEN GROVER CLEVE-,AN I), the twenty- second Presltdi1 o ident of the United States, was,or l in 1837, in the obscure ' town of Caldwcll, Essex Co., N. J., and in a little two-and-ah Ilf-story white house which is still. standing, characteristically to Inark the hu:nmble birth-pllace of one of; g^ - Amierica's great men in striking contrast with tle Old World, where all ss men high in office must be high in originl and born in the cradle of wealth. Wlhel the subject of this sketch was three years of age, his father, who was a Presbyterian minister, with a large family and a small salary, moved, by way c:. the Hulson River and Erie Canal, to Fayetteville, in search of an increased income and a larger field of work. Fayetteville was tlen the most itraggling of country villages, about five miles frorn l'ompey Hill, where Governor Seymoutr was born. At the last mentioned place young Grover comsienced goiig to school in the "good, old-fashioned w3ay, and presumnably distinguished himself after the:nannier of all village boys, in doing the things he ought not to do. Such is the distinguishing trait of all geniuses and independent thinkers. Wlhn he arrived at the age of 14 years, he had outgrown the capacity of the village school and expressed a most emphlatic desire to le sent to an academy. To this his father decidedly objected. Academies in those days cost money; besides, his father wanted him to become self-supporting by the quickest possible means, and this at that time in Fayette-ille seemed to be a position in a country store, where his father and the large family on his hands had considerable infllliece. Grover was to be paid $50 for his services the first year, and if he proved trustworthy he was to receive $1oo the second year. Here the lad comlienced his career as salesman, and in two years he had earned so good a reputation for trustworthiness that his employers desired to retain him for an in. definite length of tile. Otherwise he did not exhilbit as yet any particular " flashes of genius" or eccentricities of talent. He was simply a good boy. But instead of remaining with this firm in Fayetteville, he went with the family in their removal to Clinton, where he had an opportunity of attending a high school. Here he industriously pursued his studies until the famiy removed with him to a point on Black River known as the " Holland Patent," a village of 500 or 6oo people, 15 miles north of Utica, N. Y. At this place his father died, after preaching but three Sundays. This event broke up the family, and Grover set out for New York City to accept, at a small salary, the position of " under-teacher" in all asylum for the blind. He taught faithfiully for two years, and although he obtained a good reputation in this capacity, he concluded that teaclhibg was noQ hii 1IO S. GROVER CLEVE,;LAND. 5. GROVER CLEVLA- - N.. calling for life, and, reversing the traditional order, ne left the city to seek his fortune, instead of going to a city. He first thought of Cleveland, Ohio, as there was some charm in that name for him; but before proceeding to that place he went to Buffalo to ask the advice of his uncle, Lewis F. Allan, a noted stock-breeder of that place. The latter did not rppeak enthusiastically. "What is it you want.to do, my boy?" he asked. "Well, sir, I want to study law," was the reply. "Good gracious!" remarked thb old gentleman; " do you, indeed? What ever put that into your head? How much money have you gotr?" Well, sir, to tell the truth, I haven't got any. After a long consultation, his uncle offered him a place temporarily as assistant herd-keeper, at $50 a year, while ihe could " look around." One day soon afterward he boldly walked into the office of Rogers, Bowen & Rogers, of Buffalo, and told:hem what he wanted. A number of young men were already engaged in the office, but Grover's persistency won, and ne was finally permitted to come as an office boy and have the use of the law library, for the nominal sum of $3 or $4 a week. Out of this he had to pay for his board and washing. The walk to and from his uncle's was a long and rugged one; and, although the first winter was a memorably severe one, his shoes were out of repair and his overcoat-he had none-yet he was nevertheless prompt and regular. On the first day of his service here, his senior employer threw down a copy of Blackstone before him with a bang that made the dust fly, saying "That's sihere they all begin." A titter ran around the little circle of clerks and students, as they thought that was enough to scare young Grover out of his plans; out in due time he mastered that cumbersome volume. Then, as ever afterward, however, Mr. Cleveland exhibited a talent for executiveness rather than for chasing principles through all their metaphysical possibilities. " Let us quit talking and go and do t," was practically his motto. The first public office to which Mr. Cleveland was elected was that of Sheriff of Erie Co., N. Y., in which Buffalo is situated; and in such capacity it fell to his duty to inflict capital pt,';shment upon two crininals. In i88r he was elected Mayor of the City of Buffalo, on the Democratic ticket, with espcial reference to the bringing about certain reforms in the administration of the municipal affairs of that city. In this office, as well as that of iSheriff, his performance of du.ty has generally been considered fair, with possibly a few exceptions which were fer. reted out and magnified during the last Presidential campaign. As a specimen of his plain language in a veto message, we quote fromn one vetoing an iniauitous street-cleaning contract: "This is a time foi plain speech, and my objection to your action shall be plainly stated. I regard it as the culmination of a mos bare-faced, impudent and shamneless scheme to betray the interests of the peoplel and to worse than squander the people's money." The New York Sun afterward very highly comnmended Mr. Cleveland's administration as Mayor of Buffalo, and there. upon recommended himl for Governor of the Empire State. To the latter office he was elected in 1882, and his administration of the affairs of State was generally satisfactory. Th'e mistakes he made, if any, were made very public throughout the nation after he was nominated for President of the United States. For this high office lie was nominated July i, I884, by the National Democratic Convention at Chicago, when other competitors were Thomas F. Bayard, Roswell P. Flower, Thomas A. Hendricks, Benjamin F. Butler, Alleni G. Thurman, etc.; and he was elected by the people, by a majority of about a thousand, over the brilliant and long-tried Republican statesman, James G. Blaine. President Cleveland resigned his office as Governor of New York in January, 1885, in order to prepare for his duties as the Chief Executive of,he United States, in which capacity his terr commenced at noon on the 4tk of March, 1885. For his Cabinet officers he selected the following gentlemen: For Secretary of State, Thomas F. Bayard, of Delaware; Secretary of the Treasury, Daniel Manning, of New York; Secretary of War, William C. Endicott, of Massachusetts; Secretary of the Navy, William C. Whitney, of New York; Secretary of the Interior, L. Q. C. Lamar, of Mississippi; Postmnaster-General, William F. Vilas, of Wisconsin; Attorney-General, A. H. Garland, of Arkansas. The silver question precipitated a controversy between those who were in favor of the continuance of silver coinage and those who were opposed, Mr. Cleveland answering for the latter, even before his inauguration.

He worked diligently, applying himself closely to his calling, built up an extensive practice and took a leading rank in the legal prolession. He is the father of two children. In 1860 Mr. Harrison was nominated for the position of Supreme Court Reporter, and then began his experience as a stump speake: lie canvassed the State thoroughly, and was elected by a handsome majority. In 1862 he raised the 17th Indiana Infantry, and was chosen its Colonel. His regiment was composed of the rawest of material, out Col. Harrison employed all his time at first mastering military tactics and drilling his men, when he therefore came to move toward the East with Sherman his regiment was one of the best drilled and organized in the army. At Rcsaca lie especially distinguished himself, and for his bravery nt Peachtree Creek he was made a Brigadier General, Gen. Hooker speaking of him in the most complimentary terms. During the absence of Gen. Harrison.in the field he Supreme Court declared the office of the Supreme Court Reporter vacant, and another person was elected to the position. From the time of leavir.g Indiana with his regiment until the fall of 1864 he had taken no leave of absence, but having been nominated that year for the same office, he got a thirty-day leave of absence, and during that time made a brilliant canvass of the State, and was elected for another term. -Ie then started to rejoin Sherman, but on the way was stricken down with scarlet {ever, and after a most trying siege made his way to the front in time to participate in the closing 'ncidents of the war, In 1868 Gen. Hareison declined n, re-election as reporter, and resumed the practice of law. In 1876,e was a candidate for Governor. Although deeated, the brilliant campaign he made won ior him i National reputation, and he was much sought, especiaLy in the East, to make speeches. In 1880, as usual, he took an active part in the campaign,:nd was elected to the United States Senate. Here ue served six years, and was known as one of the ablest men, best lawyers and strongest debaters in that body. With the expiration of his Senato i;,i term he returned to the practice of his profession, becoming the head of one of the strongest firms: the State. The political campaign of 1888 was one of the most memorable in the history of our country. Tlie convention which assembled in Chicago in June an1 named Mr. Harrison as the chief standard bearci of the Republican party, was great in every particular, and on this account, and the attitude it assumed upon the vital questions of the day, chief among which was the tariff, awole a deep interest in the campaign throughout the Nation. Shortly after the nomination delegations began to visit Mr. IHarrison at Indianapolis, his home. This movement became popular, and from all sections of the country societies, clubs and delegations journeyed thither to pay their respects to the distinguished statesman. The popularity of these was greatly increased on account of the remarkable speeches made by Mr. Harrison. lie spoke da(ill all tlirogll the summer and autumni to thlese visiLing delgations, and so varied, Imasterly and eloquent were his speeches that they at once placed him in thforemost rank of American orators sand( statesmi On account of his eloquence as at slpeaker and;'~.: power as a, debater, lie was called ulpon at an u: comimonly eariy age to take part in the ':tsvussicso of the great questions that thlen began jt agitate the country. lie was an ulncompromisingq ant, slavery tMan, and was matched against solme of..:e most eminent Democratic speakers of his State.

At the age ~ '', i of l9 he was appointed Secre", ")_ tary of Michigan Territory, and j1. served in that capacity during the;':,i administration of Gov. George B. P), I['. 'orter. Upon the death of Gov. t) I'orter, which occurred on the 6tl of 9 July, I834, Mr. Mason became Acting Governor. In October, 1835, he was elected Governor under the St ate organization, and immediately entered upon the performance of the duties of the office, although the State was not yet admitted into the Union. After the State was admitted into the Union, Governor Mason was re-elected to the position, and served with credit to himself and to the advantage of the State. te died Jan. 4, I843. The principal event during Governor Mason's official career, was that arising from the disputed southern boundary of the State. Michigan claimed for her southern boundary aline:unning east across the peninsula from the extreme southern point of Lake Michigan, extending through Lake Erie, to the Pennsylvania line. This she claimed as a vested right-a right accruing to her by compact. This compact was the ordinance of 1787,:he parties to which were the original 13 States, and the territory northwest of the Ohio; and, by the succession of parties under statutory amendments to the ordinance and laws of Congress-the United States on the one part, and each Territory northwest of the ')hio, as far as affected by their provisions, on the other. Michigan, therefore, claimed it under the prior grant, or assignation of boundary. Ohio, on the other hand, claimed that the ordinance had been superseded by the Constitution of the United States, and that Congress had a right to regulate the boundary. It was also claimed that the Constitution of the State of Ohio having described a different line, and Congress having admitted the State under that Constitution, wilhout mentioning the subject of the line in dispulte, Congress had thereby given its consent to the line as laid down by the Constitution of Ohio. This claim was urged by Ohio at somtie periods of the controversy, but atothers she appeared to regard the question unsettled, by the fact that she insisted upon Congress taking action in regard to the boundary. Accordingly, we find that, in 18t2, Congress authorized the Surveyor-General to survey a line, agreeably to the act, to enable the people of Ohio to formi a Constitution and State government. Owing to Indian hostilities, however, the line was not run till t818. Itn 820, the question in dispute Underwent a rigid examination by the Committee on Public Lands. The claim of Ohio was strenuously urged by her delegation, and as ably opposed by Mr. Woodbridge, the then delegate from Michigan. The result was that the committee decided unanimously in favor of Michigan; but, in the hurry of business, no action was taken by Congress, and the questiciremained open till Michigan organized her State government. The Territory in dispute is about five miles in width at the west end, and about eight miles in width at the east end, and extends along the whole northern line of Ohio, west of Lake Erie. The line claimed by Micligan was knowvn as the " Fulton line," and that claimed by Ohio was known as the " Harris line,' lro STEPHEN TA MASON. -- ----------- -- fromi the names of the surveyors. The territory was valuable for its rich agricultural lands; but the chief value consisted in the fact that the harbor on the Maumee River, where now stands the flourishing city of Toledo, was included within its limi.ts.- The town originally bore the name of Swan Creck, afterwards Port Lawrence, then Vestula, and 'then Toledo. In February, 1835, the Legislature of Ohio passed an act extending the jurisdiction of the State over the territory in question; erected townships and directed them to holdelections in April following. It also directed Governor Lucus to appoint three commissioners to survey and re-mark the Harris line; and named the first of April as the day to commence the survey. Acting Governor Mason, however, anticipated this action on the part of the Ohio Legislature, sent a special message to the Legislative Council, apprising it of Governor Lucas' message, and advised immediate action by that body to anticipate and counteract the proceedings of Ohio. Accordingly, on the I2th of February, the council passed an act making it a criminal offence, punishable by a heavy fine, or imprisonment, for any one to attempt to exercise any official functions, or accept any office within the jurisdiction of Michigan, under or by virture of any authority not derived from the Territory, or the United States. On the 9th of March, Governor Mason wrote General Brown, then in command of the Michigan militia, directing him to hold himself in readiness to meet the enemy in the field in case any attempt was made on the part of Ohio to carry out the provisions of that act of the Legislature. On the 3ist of March, Governor Lucus, with his commissioners, arrived at Perrysburgh, on their way to commence re-surveying the Harris line. He was acconpanied by General Bell and staff, of the Ohio Militia, who proceeded to muster a volunteer force of about 600 men. This was soon accomplished, and the force fully armed and equipped. The force then went into camp at Fort Miami, to await the Governor's orders. In the meantime, Governor Mason, with General Brown and staff, had raised a force 800 to o200 strong, and were in possession of Toledo. General Brown's Staff consisted of Captain Henry Smith, of Monroe, Inspector; Major J. J. Ullman, of Constantine, Quartermaster; William E. Broadman, of Detroit, and Alpheus Felch, of Monroe, Aids-decamD. When Governor Lucas observed the determined bearing of the Michigan braves, and took note of their number, le found it convenient to content himself for a time with " watching over the border.' Several days were passed in this exhilarating employment, and just as Governor Lucas had made up his mind to do something rash, two commissioners arrived from Washington on a mission of peace. They remonstrated with Gov. Lucus, and reminded him of the consequences to himself and his State if he persisted in his attempt to gain possession of the disputed territory by force. After several conferences with both governors, the commissioners submitted propositions for their consideration. Governor Lucas at once accepted the propositions, and disbanded his forces. Governor Mason, on the other hand, refused to accede to the arrangement, and declined to compromise the rights of his people by a surrender of possession and jurisdiction. When Governor Lucus disbanded his forces, however, Governor Mason partially followed suit, but still held himself in readiness to meet any emergency that might arise. Governor Lucus now supposed that his way was clear, and that he could re-mark the Harris line without being molested, and ordered the commissioners to proceed with their work. In the meantime, Governor Mason kept a watchful eye upon the proceedings. General Brown sent scouts through the woods to watch their movements, and report when operations were commenced. When the surveying party got within the county of Lenawee, the under-sheriff of that county, armed with a warrant, and accompanied by a posse, suddenly made his appearance, and succeeded in arresting a portion of the party. The rest, including the commissioners. took to their heels, and were soon beyond the disputed territory. They reached Perrysburgh the following day in a highly demoralized condition, and reported they had been attacked by an overwhelming force of Michigan malitia, under command of General Brown. This summary breaking up of the surveying party produced the most tremendous excitement throughout Ohio. Governor Lucas called an extra session of the Legislature. But little remains to be said in reference to the "war." The question continued for some time to agitate the minds of the opposing parties; and the action of Congress was impatiently awaited. Michigan was admitted into the Union on the condition that she give to Ohio the disputed territory, and accept in return the Northern Peninsula, which she did.

It should,le Iorne in mind, however, that home education at that time was:an indispensable feature in the training of the young. To this and and to a few studies well mastered. is due that strong mental discipline which has served as a basis for many of the grand intellects th.,t have adorned and helped to make our National history. Mr. Woodbridge studied law at Marietta, having as a fellow student an intimate personal friend, a ycung man subseqtuently distinguished, but known at that time simply as Lewis Cass.

()tr written biographies necessarily speak more fully of men, because of their active participation in pullic affairs, but human actions are stamped upon the page of time and when the scroll shall be unrolled the influence of good wsomen upon the history of the norld will be read side by side with the deeds of men. IHow mucl success and renown in life many men owe to their wives is probably little known. Mrs. W. enjoyed the best means of early education that the country afforded, and her intellectual genius enabled her to imlprove her advantages. During her life, side ly side with the highest type of domestic and social graces, she manifested a keen intellectuality that fortied the crown of a faultless chaiacter. She was a natural poet, and wrote quite a large number of fine verses, some of which are preserved in a printed imemorial essay written upon the occasion of her death. In this essay, it is said of her "to contribute even in matters of minor imuportance, to elevate the reputation and add to the well being of her husband in the various stations he was called upon to fill, gave her the highest satisfaction" She was an invalid during the latter portion of her life, but was patient and cheerful to the end. In 1807, Mr. \V. was chosen a representative to the General Assembly of Ohio, and in 1809 was elected to the Senate, continuing a member by re-election until his removal from the State. He also held, by appointment, during the time the office of Prosecuting Attorney for his county.

H., Jan. 29, 1802. His parX _ cuts, John and Ellen (Stewvard) Barry, early removed to Rockingt 1 i lInm, Vt., where he remained until ~ J,i he lecame of age, working on his fitler's farm, and pursuing his studies at the same time. He married Mary Kidder, of Grafton, Vt., and in 1824 went to Georgia, Vt., where he had charcg of an academy for two years, meanwhile studying law. He afterward practiced law in that State. WVhile he was in Georgia lie was for some time a melmber of the Governor's staff, with the title of Governor's Aid, and at a somewhat earlier period was Captain of a company of State militia. In 1831 he removed to Michigan, and settled at White Pigeon, where he engaged in mercantile business with I. W. Willard. Four years after, 1834, Mr. Barry removed to Con stantine and continued his mercantile pursuits. He became Justice of the Peace at White Pigeon, Mich.. in 1831, and held the office until tle year 1835 Mr. Barry's first public offi:e was that of a member of the first constitutional convention, which assembled and flamed the constitution upon which Michigan was admitted into the Union. He took an important and prominent part in the proceedings of that body, and showed hirmself to be a man of far more than ordinary ability. Upon Michigan being admitted into the Union, Mr. Barry was chosen State Senator, and so favorably were his associates impressed with his alilities at the first session of the legislature that they looked to him as a party leader, and that he should head the State ticket at the following election.. Accordingly he re. ceived the nomination for Governor at the hands of his party assembled in convention. He was elected, and so popular was his adtministration that, in 1842, he was again elected. During these years Michigan was embarrassed by great financial difficulties, and it was through his wisdom and sound judgment that the State was finally placed upon a solid financial basis. During the first year of Gov. Barry's first term, the University at Almn Arbor was opened for the reception JOHN STEW IARD BARRY. ' ----7= of students. The Michigan Central and Michigan Southern railroads were being rapidly constructed, and general progress was eveiywhere noticeable. In 1842, the number of pupils reported as attending the lpublic schools was nearly fifty-eight thousand. In I843, a State land office was established at Marshall, which was invested with the charge and disposition of all the lands belonging to the State In 1844, the taxable property of the State was found to be over twenty-eight millions of dollars, the tax being at the rate of two mills on the dollar. The expenses of the State were only seventy thousand dollars, while the income from the railroads was nearly three hundred thousand dollars. 'At this time the University of Michigan had become so prosperous that its income was ample to pay the interest on the University debt; and the amount of money which the State was able to loan the several progressing railroads was one hundred and twenty thousand dollars. Efforts were made to increase the efficiency of the common schools with good results In I845, when Gov. Barry's second term expired, the population of the State was more than three hundred thousand. Tile constitution of the State forbade more thani two consecutive terms, but he was called upon to fill the position again in 185o-the only instance of the kind in the history of the State. He was a member of the Territorial Legislature, of the Constitutional Convention, and afterward of the State House of Representatives. During Mr. Barry s third term as Governor tile Normal School was established at Ypsilanti, which was endowed with lands and placed in charge of a board of education consisting of six persons. A new constitution for the government of the State was also adopted and the "Great Railway Conspiracy Case " was tried. This grew out of a series of lawless acts which had been committed upon the property of the Michigan Central Railroad Company, along the line of their road, and finally the burning of the ie!ot at Detroit, in 1850. At a setting of the grand jury of Wayne County, April 24, I851, 37 men of the 50 under arrest for this crime were indicted. May 20, following, the accused parties appeared at the Circuit Court of Wayne, of which Warner Wing was resident jdlge. The Railroad Company employed ten eminent lawyers, including David Stuart, John Van Artnan, James A. Van Dyke, Jacob M. Howard, Alex. D. Fraser, Daniel Goodwin and William Gray. The defendants were represented by six members of the State bar, led by William H. Seward, of New York. The trial occupied four months, during which time the plaintiffs examined 246 witnesses in 27 days, and the defendants 249 in 40 days. Mr. Van Dyke addressed the jury for the prosecution; William H. Seward for the defense. The great lawyer was convinced of the innocence of his clients, nor did the verdict of that jury and the sentence of that judge remove his firm belief that his clients were the victims of plurchased treachery, rather than so many sacrifices to justice. The verdict of " guilty " was rendered at 9 o'clock P. M., Sept. 25, 185 I. ()I the 26th the prisoners were l)t forward to receive sentence, when many of them protested their entire innocence, after which the presiding judge condemned 12 of the numlber to the following terms of imprisonment, with hard labor, within the State's prison, situate in their county: Amnmi Filley, ten years; Orlando I.. Williams, ten years; Aaron Mount, eight years; Andrew J. Freeland, eight years; Eben FLarhall, eight years; Willialm Corvin, eight years; Richard Price, eight years; Evan Price, eight years; Iyman Chaimplin, five years; Willard V. Champlint, five years; Erastus Champlin, five years; Erastus Smith, five years. In 1840, Gov. Barry became deeply interested in the cultivation of the sugar beet, and visited Europe to obtain information in reference to its culture. He was twice I'residential Elector, and his last plublic service was that of a delegate to the National Democratic Co(viention held in Chicago in I864. He vas a man who, throughout life, miaintained a high character for integrity and fidelity to the trusts bestowed upon him, whether of a lullic or a private nature, and he is acknowledged by all to have been one of the most efficient and popular Governors the State has ever had. (;ov. Barry was a man of incorruptible integrity. His opinions, which lie reached by the most thoroughl investatation, lie held tenaciously. Ilis strong convictions and outspoken honesty Inade it impossible for hill to take;ai undefined position whenl a principle was involved. His attaclhments and prejudices were strong, yet he was neve- accused off favoritism in his administration of public affairs. As;i speaker he was not remarkable. Solidity, rather thlan brilliancy, characterized his oratory, which is described as argumentative and instructive, btl cold, hard, and entirely wanting in rhetorical ornament. He was never eloquent, seldom humorous or sarcastic, and in manner rather awkward. Although Mr. Barry's educational advantages were so limited, lie was a life-long student. He mastered both ancient and modern langutages, and acquired a thorough knowledge of history. No mlan owed less to political intrigue as a mneans of gaining position. He was a true statesman, and gained public esteem by his solid worth. His political connections were always with the Democratic party, and his opinions were usually extreme. Mr. Barry retired to private life after the beginning of the ascendency of the Republlican party, and carried on his mercantile business at Constantine. He died Jan. 14, 1870, his wife's death having occurred a year previous, March 30o, 869. They left no children. 4 GO VER2VORS OF HICIHIGA N. 11'7 GO VERNORS OF h~UC'ZIZGAN.

The duties of the office were most laborious, and in I839 Mr. Felch resigned. The chartered right of almost every bank had, in the meantime, been declared forfeited and the law repealed. It was subsequently decided to be constitutional by the Supreme Court of the State. In the year 1842 Governor Felch was appointed to the office of Auditor General of the State; but after holding the office only a few weeks, was commissioned by the Governor as one of the Judges of the Supreme Court, to fill a vacancy caused by the resignation of Judge Fletcher. In January, 1843, he was elected to the United States Senate for an unexpired term. In 1845 he was elected Governorof Michigan, and entered upon his duties at the commencement of the next year. In i847 he was elected a Senator in Congress for six years; and at once retired from the office of Governor, by resignation, which took effect March 4, 1847, when his Senatorial term commenced. While a member of the Senate he acted on the Committee on Public Lands, and for four years was its Chairman. He filled the honorable position of Senator with becoming dignity, and with great credit to the State of Michigan. During Governor Felch's administration the two railroads belonging to the State were sold to private corporations,-the Central for $2,000,000, and the Southern for $500,000. The exports of the State amounted in 1846 to $4,647,608. The total capacity of vessels enrolled in the collection district at Detroit was 26,928 tons, the steam vessels having 8,400 and the sailing vessels 18,528 tons, the whole giving employment to i8,ooo seamen. In 1847, there were 39 counties in the State, containing 435 townships; and 275 of these townships were supplied with good libraries, containing an aggregate of 37,000 volumes. At the close of his Senatorial term, in March, 1853, Mr. Felch was appointed, by President Pierce, one of the Commissioners to adjust and settle the Spanish and Mexican land claims in California, under the treaty of Gaadalupe Hidalgo, and an act of Congress passed for that purpose. He went to California in May, 1853, and was niade President of the Commission. The duties of this office were of the most important and delicate character. The interest of the new State, and the fortunes of many of its citizens, both the native Mexican population and the recent American immigration; the right of the Pueblos to their common lands, and of the Catholic Church to the lands of the Missions,-the most valuable of the State,-wereinvolved in the adjudicationsof this Commission. In March, i856, their labors were brought to a close by the final disposition of all the claims which were presented. The record of their proceedings,-the testimony which was given in each case, and the decision of the Commissioners thereon,consisting of some forty large volumes, was deposited in the Department of the Interior at Washington. In June of that year, Governor Felch returned to Ann Arbor, where he has since been engaged piincipally in legal business. Since his return he has been nominated for Governor and also for U. S. Senator, and twice for Judge of the Supreme Court. But the Democratic party, to which he has always been attached, being in the minority, he failed of an election. In I873 he withdrew from the active practice of law, and, with the exception of a tour in Europe, in 1875 has since led a life of retirement at his home in Ann Arbor. In I877 the University of Michigan conferred upon him the degree of LL. D. For many years he was one of the Regents of Michigan University, and in the spring of 1879 was appointed Tappan Professor of Law in the same. Mr. Felch is the oldest surviving member of the Legislature from Monroe Co., the oldest and only surviving Bank Commissioner of the State, the oldest surviving Auditor General of the State, the oldest surviving Governorof the State, the oldest surviving Judge of the Supreme Court of Michigan, and the oldest surviving United States Senator from the State of Michigan.

The year following his arrival in Michigan hlie was elected State Senator and served in that capacity until 1839. In 1845 he was elected Liet. Govliy the resignation of (;ov Felch, who was elected to the United States Senate. IThe war with Mexico was brought to a successful termination during Gov. Greenly's administration. We regret to say that there are only few records extant of the action of Michigan troops in the Mexican war. That many went there and fought well are points concaded; but their names and nativity are lhidden away in United States archives and where it is almost impossible to find them. The soldiers of this State deserve much of thp credit of the memorable achievements of Co. K; 3d Dragoons, and Cos. A, E, and G of the U. S. Inf. The two former of these companies, recruited in this State, were reduced to one-third their original nuimber. In'lMay, 1846,the Governor of Michigan was notitied by the War Departmnent of the United States to enroll a reginent of volunteers, to le held in readiness for service whenever demanded. At his sulm. monIs 13 independent volunteer companies, i of infainry and two of cavalry, at once fell into line. Of the infantry four companies were fromi Detroit. bearing the honored names of Montgomery, Lafayette, Scott and ]Brady upon their banners. Of the remainder Monroe tendered two, Lenawee County three, St. Clair, Berrien and Hillsdale each one, and Wayne County an additional company. Of these alone the veteran Bradys were accepted and ordered into service. In addition to them ten companies, making the First Regiment of Michiglan Volunteers, springing from various parts of the State, but embodying to a great degree the material of which the first volunteers was formed, were not called for until October following.

EPAPHRODII TUS RANSOM, the Seventh Governor of Michigan, was a native of Massachusetts. In G that State he received a cc,1 -- legiate education, studied law, @;lld was admitted to the lbr.. Remaoving to Michigan about the time of its admission to the Uniol, he took up his residence l at Kalamazoo. Mr. Ransomn served with lmarked aoiiity for a number of years in the State Legislature, and in 1837 he was appointed Associate Justice of the Supreme Court. In 1843 lhe was promoted to Chief Justice, which office he retained until 1845, when he resigned. Shortly afterwards he became deeply interested in the building of plank roads in the western portion of the State, and in this business lost the greater portion of the property which he had accumulated by years of toil and industry. Mr. Ransom became Governor of the State of Michigan in the fall of 1847, and served during one term, performing the duties of the office in a truly statesmanlike manner. He subsequently became President of the Michigan Agricultural Society, in which position he displayed the Came abiity that shone forth so prominently in his acts as Governor. He held the office of Regent of the Michigan University several times, and ever advocated a liberal policy in its manalgement. Subsequently he was appointed receiver of the land office in one of the districts in Kansas, by President Buchanan, to which State he had removed, and where lie died before the expiration of his term of office. We suim up the events and affairs of the State under Gov. Ransom's administration as follows: The Asylum for the Insane was establised, as also the Asylumn for the Deaf, Dumb and Blind. Both of these institutes were liberally endowed with lands, and each of then placed in charge of a board of five trustees. The appropriation in I849 for the deaf and dulmbl and blind amounted to $81,5oo. On the first of March, 1848, the first telegraph line was completed firom New York to Detroit, and the first dispatch transmitted on that day. The following figures show the progress in agriculture: The land reported as under cultivation in I848 was 1,437,460 acres; of wheat there were produced 4,749,300 bushels; other grains, 8,197,767 bushels; wool, 1,645,756 pounds; maple sugar, 1,774,369 pounds; horses, 52,305; cattle, 21o,268; swine, 152,541; sheep, 610,534; while the flour mills numbered 228, and the lumber mills amounted to 730. 1847, an act was passed removing the Legislature from Detroit to Lansing, and templorary buildings for the use of the Legislature wereilmediately erected, at a cost of $12,450, t~I W GO VERNORS Ofi' MICHIGAN. t29 us.,A-;vv —, -cv ~,!"~ ~~~ + 8~~~jr~~~:~:.8 ~. -+&'f~rUE~~r~~~~t!s",.448.+,r.,..v4._4t!4~ ' ~~. ~us.AWL58 -IR ~;~~" ~qCLE -,A N ~~ ~srg~~ < '.? xjOBERT McCLELLANI), *:i~_ I/k { C;Governor of Michiganll from Jan.

His father was an eminent physician, and surgeon who studied under Dr. ) Benj. Rush, of Philadelphia, and practiced his profession successfully ' until six months before his death, at I the age of 84 years. Although Mr. McClelland's family had been in good circumstances, when lie was 17 years old he was thrown i)pon his own resources. After taking the usual preli::inary studies, and teaching school to oltain the means, lie entered I)ickinson College, at Carlisle, Penn., from which he graduated among the first in lis class, ill 1829. He then resumed teaching, and having completed the course of study for the legal profession, was admitted to the bar at Chambersburg, Penn., in 1831. Soon afterward he removed to the city of Pittsburgh, where he practiced for almost a year. In 1833, Mr. McClelland removed to Monroe, in the Territory of Michigan, where, after a severe examination, he became a member of the bar of Michigan, and engaged in practice with bright prospect of success. In 1835, a convention was called to frame a constitution for the proposed State of Michigan, of which Mr. McClelland was elected a imernber. He took a prominent part in its deliberations and r.inkcd amnong its ablest debaters. He was appointed the first Bank Commnissioner of the State, liy Gov. Masonl and received an offer of the Attorney Generalslhip, but declined both of these offices in order to attend to his professional duties. In I838, Mr. McClelland was elected to the State Legislature, in which he soon became distinguished as the head of several important committees, Speaker pro termpore, and as an active, zealous and efficient member. In 1840, Gen. Harrison, as a candidate for the Presidency, swept the country with an overwhelmning majority, and at the same time the State of Michigan was carried by the Whigs under the popular cry of " Woodbridge and reform " against the Democratic party. At this time Mr. McClelland stood amongthe acknowledged leaders of the latter organization; was elected a member of the State House of Representatives, and with others adopted a plan to regain a lost authority and prestige. This party soon came again into power in the State, and having been returned to the State Legislature M;. McClelland's leadership was acknowledged by his election as Speaker of the House of Representatives ROBE 1 T MAcCLELLANIV ill 1843. Down to this time Michigan had cunstitilted one congressional district. The late Hon. Jacob M. Howard had been elected against Hon. Alpheus Felch by a strong majority; but, in I843, so thoroughly had the Democratic party recovered from its defeat of 184o that Mr. McClelland. as a candidate for Congress, carried Detriit. district by a majority of about ',5.o. Mr McClelland soon took a prominent poi-x tion in Congress- aliong the veterans of that body, During his first term he was placed on Committee on Con-.merce, and organized and carried through what were known as the " Harbor bills." The continued confidence of his constituency was manifested in his election to the 29th Congress. At the opening of this session he had acquired a National reputation, and so ~.v.orably was he known as a parlimentarian that his name Was mentioned for Speaker of the House of Representatives He declined t:e offer in favor of J. W, Davis, of Indiana, who was elected. During this term he became Chairman of Committee on Commerce, in which position his reports and advocacy of important measures at once attracted public attention. The members of this committee, as an evidence of the esteem in which they held his services and of their personal regard for him, presented him with a cane hitch he retains as a souvenir of the donors, and of his labors in Congress. In 1847, Mr. McClelland was re-elected to Con. itess, and at the opening of the 3oth Congress berime a member of the Committee on Foreign Reladions. While acting in this capacity, what was known as tre ' French Spoliation Bill" came under his special charge, and his management of the same was such as to command universal approbation. While in Congress, Mr, McClelland was an advocate of the:ight of petition as maintained by John Q. Adams, 'vher the petition, was clothed in decorous language and presented in the proper manner. This he regarded as the citizens'constitutional right which should not be impaired by any doctrines of temporary expediency. He also voted for the adoption of Mr. Giddings s bill for the abolishing of slavery in the Dist ict of Co!umbis. Mr. McClelland was one of the few Democrats associated with David Wilmot, of Penn-,ylvania, in bringing forward the celebrated "Wilmot Provison, with a view to prevent further extension of slavery ir new territory which might be acquired by,he United States. He and Mr. Wilmnot were together at the time in Washington, and on intimate and confidential terms. Mr. McClelland was in sev, eral National conventions and in the Baltimore con-,rention, which nominated Gen. Cass for President,,a 1848, doing valiant service that year for the election of that distinguished statesman. On leaving Congress, in r848, Mr. McClelland returned to the practice of his profession at Monroe. In i85o a convention of the State of Michigan was called to revise the State constitution. He was elected a member and was regarded therein as among the ablest and most experienced leaders. His clear judgment and wise moderation were conspicuous, both in the cormmnittee rootm and on the floor, in debate. In i850, he was President of the Democratic State convention which adopted resolutions in support of Henry Clay. famous compromise measures, of which Mr, McClel land was a strong advocate. Hei was a member of the Democratic National convention in I852, and in that year, in company with Gen Cass and Goverron Felch, he made a thorough canvass of the State He continued earnestly to advocate the Ciay corn promise measures, and took an active part in the canvass which resulted in the election of Gen. Pierce to the Presidency In 185 (, the new State constitution took effect and it was necessary that a Governor should be elected for one year in order to prevent an interregnum, and to bring the State Government into ooerat —. i:nder the new constitution, Mr. McClelland was elected Governor, and in the fall of 1852 was re-elected fo, a term of two years, from Jan. I, 1853. His admirn. istration was regarded as wise, prudent and conciliatory, and was as popular as could be expected at a time when party spirit ran high, There was really no opposition, and when he resigned, in March, 1853, the State Treasury was well filled, and the State otherwise prosperous. So widely and favorably hac Mr. McClelland become known as a statesman that o!: the organization of thecabiret by Pr, zldent Pier(e, in March, 1853, he was made Secretarycf the Interior, it; which capacity he served most creditably during four years of the Pierce administration. He thoroughly re-organized his department and reduced the expenditure,, He adopted a course with the Indians which relieved them from the impositions and annoyances of the traders, and produced harmony and civilization among them. During his administration there wit: neither complaint from the tribes nor corruption among agents, and he left the department in perfect order and system. In I867, Michigan again called a con vention to revise the State constitution. Mr. McClel land was a member and here again his long expert ence made him conspicuous as a prudent adviser, a sagacious parliamentary leader. As a lawyer hewan terse and pointed in argument, clear, candid and inpressive in his addresses to the jiiry. His sincerity and earnestness, with which was occasionally mingled a pleasant humor, made him an able and effective advocate. In speaking before the people on political subjects he was especially forcible and happy. In 1870 ie made the tour of Europe, which, through tis extensive personal acquaintance with European diplomates, he was enabled to enjoy much more mnan most travelers, Mr. McClelland married, in 1837, Miss Sarah E. Sabin, of Williamstown, Mass. They have had six children, two of whom now survive. ,; 7 I RI 1 — ';:.,.-1.

Mr. W. was enthusiastic in the cause and brought to its support all his personal influence and talents. In his viqws he was bold and radical. He believed from the beginning that the political power of the slaveholders would have to be overthrown before quiet could be secured to the country. In the Presidential canvass of 1856 he supported the Fremont, or Republican, ticket. At the session of the Legislature of 1857 he was a candidate for United States Senator, and as such received a very handsome support. In 1858, he was nominated for Governor of the State by the Republican convention that met at Detroit, and at the subsequent November election was chosen by a very large majority. Before the day of the election lie had addressed the people of almost every county and his majority was gieater even than that of his popular predecessor, Hon. K. S. Bingham. He served as Governor two years, from Jan. I, i859, lo Jan. i, 1861. His first message to the Legislattre was an able and statesman-like production, and was read with usual favor. It showed that lie was awake to all the interests of the State and set forth an enlightened State policy, that had its view of the rapid settlement of our un)ultivated lands and the deveiopmenlt of our immense agricultural and mineral resources. It was a document that reflected the highest credit upon the author. His term having expired Jan. i, i86r, he returned,o his home ill Pontiac, and to the practice of his profession. There were those in the State who counselled the sending of delegates to the peace conference at Washington, but Mr. W. was opposed to all such temporizing expedients. His counsel was to send no delegate, but to prepare to fight. After Congress had met and passed the necessary.egislation he resolved to take part in the war. In the spring and summer of 1862 he set to work to raise a regiment of infantry, chiefly in Oakland County, where he resided. His regiment, the 22d Michigan, was armed and equipped and ready to march in September, a regiment whose solid qualities were afterwards proven on many a bloody field. Col. W's. commission bore the date of Sept. 8, 1862. Before parting with his family he made his will. His regiment was sent to Kentucky and quartered at WISNMIR. Camp Wallace. He had at the breaking out of the war turned his attention to military studies and became proficient in the ordinary rules and discipline. His entire attention was now devoted to his duties. His treatment of his men was kind, though his discipline was rigid. He possessed in an eminent degree the spirit of command, and had lie lived he would no doubt have distinguished himiself as a good officer. He was impatient of delay and chafed at being kept in Kentucky where there was so little prospect of getting at the enemy. But life in camp, so different fromi the one he had been leading, anc nis incessant lalors, coupled with that impatience which was so natural and so general among the volunteers in the early part of the war, soon made their influence felt upon his health. He ws;s seized with typhoid fever and removed to a private house near Lexington. Every care whicll medical skill or the hand of friendship could bestow was rendered him. In the delirious wanderings of his mind he was discipliinig his men and urging them to be prepared fcr ai encounter with the ernermy, enlarging uponr the jiustice of their cause and the necessity of their crushing the Rebeliion. But the source of his most poignant gnet was the prospect of not being able to come to a hand-to-hand encounier with the "chivalry." He was l)roud of his regiment, and felt that if it could find the enemy it would cover itself with glory, —a disticction it afterward obtained, but not until Col W. Was no more. The malarly baffled all miedical treatment, and on the 5th day of Jan., 1863, he breathed his last. His remains were removed to Michigan and interred in the cemetery at Pontiac, where they rest by the side of the brave Gen. Riclhardson, who received his mortal wound at the battle of Antietam. Coi. V. was no adventurer, although he was doubtless amblitious of military renown and would have striven for it with characteristic energy. lie went to the war to defend and uphold the principles lie had so much at heart. Few men were more familiar than lie with the causes and the underlying principles that led to the contest. He left a wife, who was a daughter of Gen. C. C. Hascall, of Flint, and four children to mourn his loss. Toward them he ever showed the tenderest regard. Next to his duty their love and welfare engrossed his thoughts. He was kind, gen,erous and brave, and like thousands of otheis i:e sleeps the sleep of the martyr for his country.

Gov. Blair possessed a clear comprehension of the perilous situation from the inception of the Rebellion, and his inaugural address foreshadowed the prompt executive policy and the administrative ability which characterized his gubernatorial career. Never perhapsls the history of a nation has a brighter example been laid down, or a greater sacrifice been made, than that which distinguished Michigan during the civil war. All, from the " War Governor"/ down to the poorest citizen of the State, were animated with a patriotic ardor at once magnificiently sublime and wisely directed. Very early in 186i the coming struggle cast its shadow over the Nation. Governor Blair, in his message to the Legislature in January of that year, dwelt very forcibly upon the sad prospects of civil war; and as forcibly pledged the State to support the principles of the Republic. After a review of the conditions of the State, he passed on to a consideration of the relations between the free and slave States of the Republic, saying: " While we are citizens of the State of Michigan, and as such deeply devoted to her interests and honor, we have a still prouder title. We are also citizeas of the United States of America. By this title we are known among the nations of the earth. In remote quarters of the globe, where the names of the States are unknown, the flag of the great Republic, the banner of the stars and stripes, honor and protect her citizens. In whatever concerns the honor, the prosperity and the perpetuity of this great Government, we are deeply interested. The people of Michigan are loyal to that Government-faithful to its constitution and its laws. Under it they have had peace and prosperity; and under it they mean to abide to the end. Feeling a just pride in the glorious history of the past, they will not renounce the equally glorious hopes of the future. But they will rally around the standards of the Nation and defend its integrity and its constitution, with fidelity." The final paragraph being: " I recommend you at an early day to make mani = - fest to the gentlemen who represent this State in the two Houses of Congress, and to the country, that Michigan is loyal to the Union, the Constitution, and the laws and will defend them to the uttermost; and to proffer to the President of the United States, the whole military power of the State for that purpose. Oh, for the firm, steady hand of a Washington, or a Jackson, to guide the ship of State in this perilous storm! Let us hope that we will find him on the 4th of March. Meantime, let us abide in the faith of our fathers-'Liberty and Union, one and inseparable, now and forever.'" * How this stirring appeal was responded to by the 'people of Michigan will be seen by the statement that the State furnished 88, i i men during the war. Money, men, clothing and food were freely and abundantly supplied by this State during all these years of darkness and blood shed. No State won a brighter record for her devotion to our country than the Peninsula State, and to Gov. Blair, more than to any other individual is due the credit for its untiring zeal and labors in the Nation's behalf, and for the heroism manifested in its defense. Gov. Blair was elected Representative to the Fortieth Congress, and twice re-elected, to the Fortyfirst and Forty-second Congress, from the Third Dis. trict of Michigan. While a member of that body he was a strong supporter of reconstruction measures, and sternly opposed every form of repudiation. His speech upon the national finances, delivered on the floor of the House March 21, 1868, was a clear and convincing argument. Since his retirement from Congress, Mr. Blair has been busily occupied with his extensive law practice. Mr. Blair married Sarah L. Ford, of Seneca County N. Y., in February, 1849. Their family consists of 4 sons —George H., a postal clerk in the railway mail service; Charles A., partner with his father; Fred. J. and Austin T., at home. Governor Blair's religion is of the broad type, and centers in the "Golden Rule." In 1883, Gov. Blair was nominated for Justice of the Supreme Court of the State by the Republican party, but was defeated. I /IV-Z, ( GOVERNORS OF MICHIGAN. 4 149 REZNRY If. CRAP Oil -- - - -- -....

Receiving a certificate that he was qualified, he walked back to his home the same night, highly elated in being possessed of the acquirements and requirements of a master of the high school. In 183a, at the age of 28 years, he left his native town and went to reside at New Bedford, where he followed the occupation of land surveyor, and occasionally acted as an auctioneer. Soon after becoming a citizen of this place, he was elected Town Clerk, Treasurer, and Collectorof taxes, which office he held until the municipal government was changed,-about fifteen years,-when, upon the inauguration of the city government, he was elected Treasurer and Collector of taxes, a position which he held two or three years. He was also Justice of the Peace for many years. He was elected Alderman of New Bedford; was Chairman of Council Committee on Education, and as such prepared a report upon which was based the order for the establishment of the free Public Library of New Bedford. On its organization, Mr. Crapo was chosen a member of the Board of Trustees. This was the first free public library in Massachusetts, if not'in the world. The Boston Free Library was established, however, soon afterwards. While a resident i;: New Bedford, he was much interested in horticulture, and to obtain the land necessary for carrying out his ideas he drained and reclaimed several acres of rocky and swampy land adjoining his garden. Here he started a nursery, which he filled with almost every description of fruit. and ornamental trees, shrubs, flowers, etc. In this he was very successful and took great pride. He was a regularcontributortothe New England Horticultural Journal, a position he filled as long as he lived in Massachusetts. As an indication of the wide reputation he acquired in that field of labor, it may be mentioned that after his death an affecting eulogy to his memory was pronounced by the President of the National Horticultural Society at its meeting in Philadelphia, in 1869. During his residence in New Bedford, Mr. Crapo was also engaged in the whaling business. A fine barque built at Dartmouth, of which he was part owner, was named the "H. H. Crapo" in compliment to him. Mr. C. also took part in the State Militia, and for several years held a commission as Colonel of one of the regiments. He was President of the Bristol County Mutual Fire Insurance Co., and Secretary of the Bedford Commercial Insurance Company in New Bedford; and while an officer of the municipal goveenmenthecompiled and published, between the years 1836 and r845, five numbers of the New Bedford Directory the first work of the kind ever published there. Mr. C. removed to Michigan in I856, having been induced to do so by investments made principally in pine lands, first in 1837 and subsequently in i856. He took up his residence in the city of Flint, and en gaged largely in the manufacture and sale of lumber at Flint, Fentonville, Holly and Detroit, becoming one of the largest and most successful l)buiness men of the State. He was mainly instrumental in the construction of the Flint & Holly R. R., and was President of that corporation nllil its consolidation with the Flint & Pere Marquette R. R. Company. Ile was elected Mayor of that city after he had been a resident of the place only five cr six years. In i862 lie was elected State Senator. In the fall of I864 he received the nomination on the Republican ticket for Governor of the State, and was elected by a large majority. He was re elected in 1866, holding the office two terms, and retiring in January, 1869, having given the greatest satisfaction to all parties. While serving his last term he was attacked with a disease which terminated his life within one year afterwards. l)uring much of this time he was an intense sufferer, yet often while in great pain gave his attention to public natters. A few weeks previous to his death a successful surgical operation was plerformed which seemed rapidly to restore himn, but lle overestimated his strength, and by too muchi exertion in business natters and State affairs suffered arclapse from which there was no relbound, and ie died July 33, 1869. In the early part of his life, (;ov. Crapo affiliated with the Whig party in politics, but became an active member of the Repullican party after its organization. He was a memlber of the Christian (sometimnes called the Disciples') Church, and took great interest in its welfare and prosperity. Mr. C. married, June 9, 1825, Mary A. Slocum. of Dartmouth. His marriage took place soon after he had attained his majority, and before his struggles with fortune had been rewarded with any great imeasure of success. But his wife was a woman of great strength of character and possessed of courage, hopefulness and devotion, qualities which sustained and encouraged her husband in the various ipursuits of his early years. For several years after his marriage he was engaged in teaching school, his wife living with her parents at the time, at whose ]iome his two older children were born. While thtis situated lie was accustomed to walk home on Saturday to see his family, returning on Sunday in order to be ready for school Monday morning. As the walk for a good part of the time was 20 miles each way, it is evident that at that period of his life no common obstacles deterred him from perforling what he regarded as a duty. His wife was none the less conscientious in her sphere, and with added responsibilities and increasing requirements she labored faithfully in the performance of all her duties. They had ten children, one son and nine daughters. His son, Hon. Win. W. Crapo, of New Bedford, is now an honored Representative to Congress from the First Congressional District of Massachusetts, I.~~6? 2c, x ~ 4v,4 GO VERNORS OF AJ/cIZIGAN.3 HENR FeM~4VAN ~ENRY P.

The same industry and accuracy that distinguished him prior to this term as Governor was manifest in his career as the chief magistrate of the State, and while his influence appears in all things wit.' which he has had to do, it is more noticeable in the most prominent position to which he was called. With rare exceptions the important commendations of Governor B. received the sanction of the Legislature. During his administration marked improvements were made in the charitable, penal and reformatory institutions of the State. The State Public School for dependent children was founded and a permanent commission for the supervision of the several State institutions. The initiatory steps toward building the Eastern Asylum for the Insane, the State House of Correction, and the establishment of the State Board of Health were recommended by Governor B. in his messae of 1873. The new State Capitol also owes its origen to him. The appropriation for its erection was made upon his recommendation, and the contract for the entire work let under this administration. Governor B. also appointed the commissioners under whose faithful supervision the building was erected in a manner most satisfactory to the people of the State. He advised and earnestly urged at different times such amendments of the constitution as would permit a more equitable compensation to State officers and judges. Thelaw of I869, and prior also, permitting municipalities to vote aid toward the construcion of railroads was, in i870, declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court. Many of the municipalities having in the meantime issued and sold their bonds in good faith, Governor B. felt that the honor and credit of the State were in jeopardy. His sense of justice impelled him to call an extra session of the Legislature to propose the submission to the people a constitutional amendment, authorizing the payment of such bonds as were already in the hands of bonafide holders. In his special message he says: "The credit of no State stands higher than that of Michigan, and the people can not afford, and I trust will not consent, to have her good name tarnished by the repudiation of either legalor moral obligations." A special session was called in March, 1872, principally for 'he division of the State into congressional districts. A number of other important suggestions were made, however, ard as an evidence of the Governor's lajlgrious and thoughtful care for the financial condition of the State, a series of tables was prepared and submitted by him showing, in detail, estimates of receipts, expenditures and appropriations for the years 1872 to i878, inclusive. Memorable of Governor B.'s administration were the devastating fires which swept over many portions of the Northwest in the fall of 187 A large part of the city of Chicago having been reduced to ashes, Governor B. promptly issued a proclamation calling upon the people of Michigan for liberal aid in behalf of the afflicted city. Scarcely had this been issued when several counties in his State were laid waste by the same destroying element. A second call was made asking assistance for the suffering people of Michigan. The contributions for these objects were prompt and most liberal, more than $700,000 having been received in money and supplies for the relief of Michigan alone. So ample were these contributions during the short period of abou' 3 months, that the Governor issued a proclamation expressing in behalf of the people of the State grateful acknowldgment, and announcing that further aid was unnecessary. Governor B. has traveled extensively in his own country and has also made several visits to Europe and other portions of the Old World. He was a passenger on the Steamer Arill, which was captured and bonded in the Carribean Sea, in December, i862, tby Capt. Semmes, and wrote a full and interesting account of the transaction. The following estimate of Governor B. on his retirement from office, by a leading newspaper, is not overdrawn: "The retiring message of Governor B., will be read with interest. It is a characteristic document and possesses the lucid statement, strong, and clear practical sense, which have been marked features ofall preceding documents from the same source. Governor B. retired to private life after four years of unusually successful administration amid plaudits that are universal throughout the State. For many years eminent and capable men have filled the executive chair of this State, but in painstaking vigilance, in stern good sense, in geluine public spirit, in thorough integrity and in practica. capacity, Henry P. Baldwin has shown himself to be the peer of any or all of them. The State has been unusually prosperous during his two terms, and the State administration has fully kept pace with the needs of the times. The retiring Governor has fully earned the public gratitude and confidence which he to-day possesses to such remarkable degree, -.1 '. J,-l 1J-4 GO VERNORS OF MICHIGAN.

His establishment has become cellent systeim of edtlcation, It was principallb JOHN J. BAGLEY. l':-rough his exertions that the State University was founded. Mr. B.'s family consists of seven children. As Governor his administration was characterized by several important features, chief among which were his efforts to improve and make popular the educational agencies of the State by increasing the faculty of the University for more thorough instruction in technical studies, by strengthening the hold of the Agricultural College upon the public good will and making the general change which has manifested itself in many scattered primary districts. Among others were an almost complete revolution in the!nanagement of the penal and charitable institutions of the State; the passage of the liquor-tax law, taking the place of the dead letter of prohibition; the establishing of the system of dealing with juvenile offenders through county agents, which has proved of great good in turning the young back from crime and placing the State in the attitude of a moral agent; in securing for the militia the first time in the history of Michigan a systematized organization upon a serviceable footing. It was upon the suggestion of Gov. B. in the earlier part of his administration that the law creating the State Board of Health, and also the law creating a fish commission- in the inland waters of the State, were passed, both of which have proved of great benefit to the State. The successful representation of Michigan at the Centennial Exhibition is also an honorable part of the record of Gov. B.'s administration. As Governor, he felt that he represented the State -not in a narrow, egotistical way, but in the same sense that a faithful, trusted, confidential agent represents his employer, and as the Executive of the State he was her "attorney in fact." And his intelligent, thoughtful care will long continue the pride of the people he so much loved. He was ambitiousambitious for place and power, as every noble mind is ambitious, because these give opportunity. However strong the mind and powerful the will, if there be no ambition, life is a failure. He was not blind to the fact that the more we have the more is required cf us. He accepted it in its fullest meaning. He had great hopes for his State and his country. He had his ideas of what they should be. With a heart as broad as humanity itself; with an intelligent, able and cultured brain, the will and the power to do, he;asked his fellow citizen to give him the opportunity to ilaor for them. Self entered not into the calculation. His whole life was a battle for others; and he entered the conflict eagerly and hopefully. His State papers were models of compact, business-like statements, bold, original, and brimful of practical suggestions,and his administrations will long be considered as among the ablest in this or any other State. His noble, generous nature made his innumerable benefactions a source of continuous rleasure. Literally, to him it was " more blessed to give than to receive." His greatest enjoyment was in witnessing the comfort and happiness of others. Not a tithe of his charities were known to his most intimate friends, or even to his family. Many a needy one has been the recipient of aid at an opportune moment, who never knew the hand that gave. At one time a friend had witnessed his ready response to some charitable request, and said to him: "Governor, you give away a large sum of money; aboul how much does your charities amount to in a year?' He turned at once and said: "I do not know, sir; I do not allow myself to know. I hope I gave more this year than 1 did last, and hople I shall give morn next year than I have this." This expressed his idea of charity, that the giving should at all times be free and spontaneous. l)uring his leasure hours from early life, and espe cially during the last few years, lie devoted much tilme to becomiring acquainted with the best authors. Biography waI his delight; the last he read was the "Life and Work of John Adams," in ten volumes. In all questions of business or public affairs l:e seemed to have the power of getting at the kernel of tle nut in the least possible time. In reading he would spend scarcely more time with a volunie than most persons would devote to a chapter. After what seemed a cursory glance, he would have all of value the book contained. Rarely do we see a business man so familiar with the best English authors. lie was a generous and intelligent patron of the arts, and his elegant home was a study and a pleasure to his many friends, who always found there a hearty welcome. At Christmas tiime he would spend days doing the work of Santa Claus.

He is tie only son of John and e Sallie (Hicks) Croswell. His 1 father, who was of Scotch-Trish i extractioin, was a paper-mtaker, i t.an.d carorile oln lusiness in New! York Ci'ty. His ancestors on 'it} lhi s mlother's side were of Knickcrh' b oc(ker descent. The Croswell $ ifamily may be found connected wj wvithi prominent events, in New York and Connecticut, in the eaily existh tence of tlie Repili)lic. Harry Cros1 1o well, during tle administration of h el I'resident Jefferson, lpublisled a palat er called tlhe Hdalance, and was p pros;c tted for lilbelinlg the President under tlie ol)noxious Sedition ILaw. u He was detended by-the celebrated I Alexandcr I lamliltonl, and the decisif. )f the case establised the important ruling that thi truth ilight hle shown in cases of libel. Another member of the family was Etdwin Croswell, the famous editor of the Albany Ar'igis; also, Rev. William Croswell, noted as a divine land poet. When Charles MI. Croswell was seven years of age, his father was accidentally drowned in the Hudson River, at Newburg; and, within three months preceding that event, his muother and only sister had died,thus leavinig hiuni the sole suirviving member of the family, without fortune or means. Upon the death of his father he went to live with an uncle, who, in 1837, emigrated with hinm to Adrain, Michigan. At sixteen years of age, he commenced to learn tle carpenter's trade, and worked at it very diligently for four years, maintaining himself, and devoting hiis spare time to reading and the acquirement of knowledge. In 1846, he began the study of law, and was appointed I)eputy Clerk of Lenawee County. The du ties of this office he perfo:med four years, when lie was elected Register of i)eeds, and was re-elected in 1852. In 1854, hetook part in the first moveinetts for the fomnation of the Republican party, and was a member and Secretary of the convetion held at Jackson ini that year, which put in the field the first Reliubllican State ticket in Michigan. In 1855, he formed a law partnershilp with the present Chief-Justice Cooley, which continued until the remov.l of Judge Cooley to Ann Arlor. In 1862, Mr. Croswell was appointed City Attorney of Adrian. Ile was also elected Mayor of the city in the spring of the same year; and in the fall -was chosen to represent Lenawee Cotinty in the State Senate. lie was re-elected to the Senate in 1864, and again in i866, during each term filling the positions above mentioned. Among various reports made by him, one adverse to the re-estalblishmient of the death penalty, and another against a prop)osition to pay the salaries of State officers and judges in coin, which then commanded a very large p)remium, may be mentioned. He also drafted tle act ratifying the Thirteenth Amendiment to the Federal Constitution, for the abolishment of slavery, it being the first amendment to the instrument ratified by Michigan. In 1863, from his seat in the State Senate, he delivered an elaborate speech in fa'or of the Proclama ,62 CHARLES M.

He was composed of an able body of men; and though, has always manifested a deep interest in educational in the general distrust of constitutional changes matters, and was foryears a member and Secretary of which for some years had been taking possession of the Board of Education of Adrain.

In x868, Mr. Croswell was chosen an Elector on In his private life, Governor Croswell has been as the Republican Presidential ticket; in 1872, was exemplary as in his public career he has been sucelected a Representative to the State Legislature cessful and useful. In February, 1852, he was marfrom Lenawee County, and was chosen Speaker of ried to a daughter of Morton Eddy, Lucy M. Eddy, the House of Representatives. At the close of the session of that body his abilities as a parliamentarian, and the fairness of his rulings were freely and formally acknowledged by his associates; and he was presented with a superb collection of their portraits handsomely framed. He was, also, for several years, Secretary of the State Board for the general supervision of the charitable and penal institutions of Michi gan; in which position, his propositions for the amelioration of the condition of the unfortunate, and the reformation of the criminal classes, signalize the benevolence of his nature, and the practical character of his mind. In 1876, the general voice of the Republicans of the State indicted Mr. Croswell as their choice for Governor; and, at the State Convention of the party in August of the same year, he was put in nomination by acclamation, without the formality of a ballot. At the election in November following, he was chosen to the high position for which he had been nominated, by a very large majority over all opposing candidates. His inaugural message was received with general favor;- and his career as Governor was marked with the same qualities of head and heart that have ever distinguished him, both as a citizen and statesman. a lady of many amiable and sunny qualities She suddenly died, March 19, i868, leaving two daughters and a son. Governor Croswell is not a member of any religious body, but generally attends the Presbyterian Church. He pursues the profession of law, but of late has been occupied mainly in the care of his own interests, and the quiet duties of advice in business difficulties, for which his unfailing prudence and sound judgment eminently fit him. Governor Croswell is truly popular, not only with those of like political faith with himself, but with those who differ from him in this regard. During Gov. Croswell's administration the public debt was greatly reduced; a policy adopted requiring the State institutions to keep within the limit of appropriations; laws enacted to provide more effectually for the punishment of corruption and bribrery in elections; the State House of Correction at Ionia and the Eastern Asylum for the Insane at Pontiac were opened and the new capital at Lansing was completed and occupied. The first act of his second term was to preside at the dedication of this buildirg The great riot at Jackson occured during his administration, and it was only by his promptness that great distruction of both life and property was prevented at that time.

H Ils parents emigrated to ('!-. > Mic~higain fl-rom Truinanshurg, Tollmpkins Co., N. Y., in 1828, ' locating at Detroit. His father >~'t'i died March 30, 1831, leaving nine children. He had been wice married, and four of the children living at the time of his deathi were grown up sonls, the off1 spring of his first union. Of the five children by his second marriage, David H. was tIe yoiungest. Shortly after Mr. Jerome's death, his (widow moved back to New York and settled in 0():sdaga County h nea.r Syracu se, where they remained untilni th e fall of 1834, lihe four o as by the first wife continuing t heir residence in aichigan. In the fall of 1834, Mrs. Jeronime came once more to Michigan, localting on a farmn in St. Clair County. Here the (;overe for fmed those habits of industry and steri:ng i ntgrity tlhat lhave been so characteristic of the 'Man in the active duties of life. He was sent to the district schlool, and in tlhe ac(tquisition of the fundamental l)ranchles of learning lie displayed a precocity and an application which won for himi the admiration cf his teacheis, and always placed him at the head of his classes. In the meantime lie did chores on the farm, and was always ready with a cheerful heart and willing hand to assist his widowed mother. The heavy labor of the farm was carried on by his two older brothers, 'Timothy and George, and when 13 years of age David received his mother's permission to attend school at the St. Clair Acadetmy. While attending there lie lived with Marcus H. Miles, now de'ceased, doing chores for his board, and the following winter performed the same service for James Ogden, also deceased. The next summer Mrs. Jerome moved into the village of St. Clair, for the purpose of conltilnuing her son in school. While attending said acadeimy one of his associate students was Senator Thomas W. Palmer, of Detroit, a rival candidate before the gubernatorial convention in 88o. I-He completed his education in the fall of his i6th year, and the following winter assisted his brother Timothy in hasuling logs in the pire woods. The next summer he rafted logs down the St. Clair River to Algonac. In 847, M. 1t. Miles being Clerk in St. Clair County, and Volney A. Ripley Register of Deeds, David H. Jerome was appointed Deputy to each, remaining as such during 1848-'49, and receiving much praise from his employers and the people in general for the ability displayed in the discharge of his duties. He spent his summer vacation at clerical work on board the lake vessels. In 1849-'50, he abandoned office work, and for the proper development of his physical system spent several months hauling logs. In the spring of 1850, his brother" Tif " and himself chartered the steamer "Chatutauqua," and "Young Dave" became her master. A portion of the season the boat was engaged in the passenger and freight traffic between Port Huron and Detroit, but during the latter part was used as a tow boat. At that time there was a serious obstruction to navigation, known as the "St. Clair Flats," between Lakes Huron and Erie, over which DA VID H. JEROME. -essels could carry onlyabout I0,000 bushels of grain. Mr. Jerome conceived the idea of towing vessels fro:n one lake to the other, and put his plan into operation. Through the influence of practical men,among them the sulject of this sketch,-Congress removed the obstruction above referred to, and now vessels can pass them laden with 60,000 or 80,ooo bushels of grain. During the season, the two brothers succeeded in making a neat little sum of money by the summer's work, but subsequently lost it all on a contract to raise the "Gen. Scott," a vessel that had sunk in Lake St. Clair. David H. came out free from debt, but possessed of hardly a dollar of capital. In the spring of 185, he was clerk and acting master of the steamers "Franklin Moore" and "Ruby," plying between Detroit and Port Huron and Goderich. The following year he was clerk of the propeller "Princeton." running between Detroit and Buffalo. In January, 1853, Mr. Jerome went to California, oy way of the Isthmus, and enjoyed extraordinary success in selling goods in a new place of his selection, among the mountains near Marysville He remained there during the summer, and located the Live Yankee Tunnel Mine. which has since yielded millions to its owners, and is still a paying investment. He planned and put a tunnel 600 feet into the mine, but when the water supply began to fail with the dry season, sold out his interest. He left in the fall of 1853, and in December sailed from San Francisco for New York, arriving at his home in St. Clair County, about a year after his departure. During his absence his brother "Tiff" had located at Saginaw, ana in 1854 Mr. Jerome joined him in his lumber operations in the valley. In 1855 the brothers bought Blackmer & Eaton's hardware and general supply stores, at Saginaw, and David H. assumed the management of the business. From i855 to 1873 he was also extensively engaged in lumbering operations. Soon after locating at Saginaw he was nominated for Alderman against Stewart B. Williams, a rising young man, of strong Democratic principles. The ward was largely Democratic, but Mr. Jerome was elected by a handsome majority. When the Repubiican party was born at Jackson, Mich., David H. Jerome was, though not a delegate to the convention, one of its "charter members." In i862, he was commissioned by Gov. Austit Blai! tc raise one of the six regiments apportioned to the State of Michigan. Mr. Jerome immediately went to work and held meetings at various points. The zeal and enthusiasm displayed by this advocate of the Union awakened a feeling of patriotic interest in the breasts of many brave men, and in a short space of time the 23d Regiment of Michigan Volunteer Infantry was placed in the field, and subsequently gained for itself a brilliant record. In the fall of i862, Mr. Jerome was nominated lby the Republican party for State Senator from the 26th district, Appleton Stevens, of Bay City, being his opponent. The contest was very exciting, and resulted in the triumphant election of Mr. Jerome. He was twice renominated and elected both times by increased majorities, defeating George Lord, of Bay City, and Dr. Chesemian, of Gratiot County. On taking his seat in the Senate, he was appointed Chairman of the Committee on State Affairs, and was active in raising means and troops to carry on the war. He held the same position during his three terms of service, and introduced the bill creating the Soldiers' l1omne at Harper Hospital, Detroit. He was selected by Gov. Crapo as a military aid, and in 1865 was appointed a member of the State Military Board, and served as its President for eight consecutive years. In 1873, he was appointed by Gov. Bagley a member of the convention to prepare a new State Constitution, and was Chairman of the Comniittee on Finance. In I875, Mr. Jerome was appointed a member of the Board of Indian Commissioners. In 1876 he was Chairman of a coi.mlission to visit Chief Joseph, the Nez Perce Indian, to arrange an amicable settlement of all existing difficulties: The commission went to Portland, Oregon, thence to the Blue Hills, in Idaho, a distance of 600 miles up the Columbia River. At the Republican State Convention, convened at Jackson in August, I880, Mr. Jeromle was placed in the field for nomination, and on the 5th day of the month received the highest honor the convention could confer on any one. His opponent was Frederick M. Hollowav of Hillsdale Coumty, wh,i was si l)ported by the Democratic and Greenback parties The State was thoroughly canvassed by bcth parties, and when the polls were closed on the evening of election day, it was found that David H.

Begole voted and worked for the soldiers' bounty equalization bill, an act doing justice to the soldier who bore the burden and heat of the day, and who should fare equally with him who came in at the eleventh hour. That bill was defeated in the House on account of the large appropriation that would be required to pay the same. In r870, Gov. Begole was nominated by acclalnation for the office of State Senator, and elected by a large majority. In that body he served on the Committees of Finance and Railroads, and was Chairnman of the Committee on the Institute for the Deaf and Dumb and Blind. He took a liberal and publicspirited view of the importance of a new capitol building worthy of the State, and was an active member of the Committee that drafted the bill for the same He was a delegate to the National Republican Convention held at Philadelphia in i872, and was the chosen member of that delegation to go to Washington and inform Gen. Grant and Senator Wilson of their nominations. It was while at that convention that, by the express wish of his many friends, he was induced to offer himself a candidate for the nomination of member to the 43d Congress, in which he was successful, aftercompetingfor the nomination with several of the most worthy, able and experienced men in the Sixth Congressional District, and was elected by a very large majority. In Congress, he was a member of the Committee on Agricultural and Public Expenditures. Being one of the 17 farmers in that Congress, he took an active part in the Committee of Agriculture, and was ap-:pointed by that committee to draft the most important report made by that committee, and upon the only subject recommended by the President in his message, which he did and the report was printed in records of Congress; he took an efficient though an unobtrusive part in all its proceedings. He voted for the currency bill, remonetization of silver, and other financial measures, many of which, though defeated then, have since become the settled policy of the country. Owing to the position which Mr. Begole occupied on these questions, he became a "Greenbacker." In the Gubernatorial election of r882, Mr. Begole was the candidate of both the Greenback and Democratic parties, and was elected by a vote of 154,269, the Republican candidate, Hon. David H. Jerome, receiving 149,697 votes. Mr. Begole, in entering upon his duties as Governor, has manifested a spirit that has already won him many friends, and bids fair to make his administration both successful and popular. The very best indications of what a man is, is what his own townsmen think of him. We give the following extract from the Flint Globe, the leading Republican paper in Gov. Begole's own county, and it, too, written during the heat of a political campaign, which certainly is a flattering testimonial of his sterling worth: " So far, however, as Mr. Begole, the head of the ticket, is concerned, there is nothing detrimental to his character that can be alleged against him. He has sometimes changed his mind in politics, but for sincerity of his beliefs and the earnestness of his purpose nobody who knows him entertains a doubt. lie is incapable of bearing malice, even against his bitterest political enemies. He has a warm, generous nature, and a larger, kinder heart does not beat in the bosom of any man in Michigan. He is not much given to making speeches, but deeds are nore significant of a man's character than words. There are many scores of men in all parts of the State where Mr. Begole is acquainted, who have had practical demonstrations of these facts, and who are liable te step outside of party lines to show that they do not forget his kindness, and who, no doubt, wish that he was a leader in what would not necessarily prove a forlorn hope. But the Republican party in Michigan is too strong to be beaten by a combination of Iemocrats and Greenbackers, even if it is marshaled by so good a man as Mr. Begole." This sketch would be imperfect without referring to the action of Mr. B. at the time of the great calamity that in I881 overtook the people of Northeastern Michigan, in a few hours desolating whole counties by fire and destroying the results and accumulations of such hard work as only falls to the lot of pioneers. While the Port Huron and Detroit committees were quarreling over the distribution of funds, Mr. Begole wrote to an agent in the ",burnt district" a letter, from which we make an extract of but a single sentence: "Until the differences between the two committees are adjusted and you receive your regular supplies from them, draw on me. Let no man suffer while I have money." This displays his true character. lll GOVERNORS OF -MICIIIGAN.17 173 311 of AMielrigair for tire, termn coreie io-Jani. 1, 1883, was 5 h orn in Lafayette Toswnslhip,,~,AMedina Co., Ohio, Feb. 27, ~\ 1836.

Mr. Luce purchased eighty acres of wild land near Gilead, Branch Co., Mich., the improvement of which he at once entered upon, clearing away the trees and otherwise making arrangements for tile establishment of a homestead. In August, 1849,he was united in marriage with Miss Julia A. Dickinson, of Gilead, and the young people immediately commenced housekeeping in a modest dwelling on the new farm. Here they resided until the death of the wife, which took place in August, 1882. Mrs. Luce was the daughter of Obed and Experience Dickinson, well-to-do and highly respected residents of Gilead. Of her union with our subject there were born five children, one now deceased. In November, 1883, Gov. Luce contracted a second marriage, with Mrs. Mary Thompson, of Brolson, this State. lie continued on thle same farm, which, however, by subsequent purchase had been considerably extended, until after his election to the office of which he is now the incumbent. In the meantime le has had a wide and varied experience inpublic life. Iln 1852 hewas elected to represent his township in the County Board of Supervisors, and two years later, in 1854, was elected Representative to the first Republican Legislature convened in the State of Michigan. Ile served his township altogether eleven years as a member of the Board of Supervisors. In 1858 lie was elected County Treasurer of Branch County and re-elected in 1860. In 1864 he was given a seat in the-State Senate and re-elected in 1866. In the spring of 1867 he was made a member of the Constitutional Convention to revise the Constitution of the State of Michigan, and in all of the positions to which lie has been called has evidenced a realization of the sober responsibilities committed to his care. To the duties of each he gave the most conscientious care, and has great reason to feel pride and satisfaction in the fact that during his service in both Houses of the Legislature his name appears upon every roll-call, he never having been absent from his post a day. In July, 1879, Mr. Luce was appointed State Oil Inspector by Gov. Croswell, and re-appointed by Gov. Jerome in 1881, serving in this capacity three and one-half years. In the management of the duties of this office he is entitled to great credit. T'he office was not sought by him, but the Governor urged him to accept it, claiming t(hat the oflfiec w.-: the most difficuilt lie had to fill, and was one which required first-class executive ability. lIe organized tlhe State into districts, applointed in adequate force of deputies and no more, secured a reduction of the fees by nearly one-half, and in every way managed thle affairs of tlie office so efficiently and satisfactorily that above all expenses lie was enabled to pay into the State Treasury during his management $32,000.49. In August of thle year 1886 Mr. Luce was nominated by tlhe Republicans in convention assembled at Grand Rapids, for the olffice of Governor of Michigan by acclamation, and on the 2d1 of November following was elected by a majority of 7,432 over his chief competitor, George L. Yaple. I1 1874 lie becainme an active memnber of tlhe farmers' organization known as the Grange. Belicvinig as lie does that agriculture furnishes the basis of National prosperity, lie was anxious to contribute to the education anud elevation of thie farinig- comiunity, andl thus availed himself of thle opplortunities offered by this organization to aid in acconmplishing this result. For a period of seven years lie was Master of thle State Grange but resigned the position last November. Fidelity to convictions, close application to business, whether agricultural or affairs of State, coupled with untiriing industry, are his chief chlaracteristics. As a farmer, legislator executive ofllicer, and manager of counity as well as State affairs, as a private as well as a public citizen. his career has all alonig been marked with sLuccess No one canl point to a spot reflecting discre(lit ir his public career or private life. lie is a man of the l)eople, and self-made in the strictest sense. His whole life has been among thle people, in full symipathy with them, and in their special confidence and esteem. Personally, Gov. Cyrus G. Luce is high-minldel. intellectual and affable, tlie object of mlaliy andc warm friendships, and a man in all respects above reproach. To the duties of his high position lie has brought a fitting dignity, and in all the relations of life that conscientious regard to duty of which we often read but which is too seldom seen, especially amuong those having within their hands the interests of State and Nation. 16), GOVERNORS OF MICHIGAN. -bl ON. EDWIN B. WINANS, who began his duties as Governor of Michigan, January 1, 1891, is a son - ~ of the Empire State, of which his parents also were natives. From German ancestry on the father's side, he derives the inc* stincts of frugality and careful consideration of ways and means, andl these are strengthened by the substantial traits of the Puritan forefathers of his mother. Botl lines have transmitted to him the love of country and home that has led:honsands into untrodden wilds where they might secure that which would be for the future good of themselves and posterity. John and Eliza (Way) Winans removed from New York to this State in 1834, and settled on a ftirm in Livingston County, where the boyhood of 6iov. Winans was passed. He was about eight years oid at the time of the removal, having been 5crn -t Avon, Livingston County, N. Y., May 16, 1826. Up to the age of eighteen years he attended the district school, and he then entered Albion College, from which he was graduated in 1850. The excitement attendant upon the discovery of gold in California had not died out, and young Winans felt a strong desire to visit the coast and try his fortune in the mines. He decided in favor of the overland route, crossed the plains in safety. and spent the ensuing eight years in seeking the precious metal-a quest that was fairly successful. Returning to Livingston County, this State, Mr. Winans bought land and engaged in general farming. He has retained the farm as his home through all the changes various official positions have brought him, and joyfully returned to it whenever his faithful discharge of public duty would allow. His estate now includes four hundred acres of land under a high state of cultivation and improved with buildings of the best construction and modern design. In connection with general farming Gov. Winans has given considerable attention to raising stock of high grades, and his understanding of agriculture in its various departments is broad and deep. He believes that his success in political life is largely due to his thorough identification with the agricultural interests of the State and no doubt lie is right. The public career of Gov. Winans began in 1860, when he was elected to represent his county in the State Legislature. He served two consecutive terms, covering the period from 1860 to 1865. In 1867 he was a member of the Constitutional Con a 'EDWIN B WINANS....................... vention of t:he State, and in 1876 he was elected was born and reared on tle farm she still calls home, Probate Judge of Livingston County for a term as it was bought of her father by Gov.

The civilization of our ' day, the enlightenment of the age and the duty that men of tlie present time owe to their ancestors, to themselves and to their posterity, demand that a record of their lives and deeds should be made. i nbiio-.......:* graphical history is found a power to instruct man by precedent, to enliven the mental faculties, and to waft down the river of time a safe vessel in which the names and actions of the people who contributed to raise this country from its primitive state may be preserved. Surely and rapidly the great and aged men, who in their prime entered the wilderness and claimed the virgin soil as their heritage, are passing to their graves. The niumber reiiainiiig wlio can relate the incidents of the first days,f settlement is becoming small indeed, so that an actual necessity exists for the collectioni and preservation of events without delay, Ibefore all the early settlers are cut down by the scythe of Time. To be forgotten has been the great dread of mankind fioms remotest ages. All will be forgotten soon enough, in spite of their best works and the most ealrnest efforts of their friends to perserve the memory of their lives. The means employed to prevent oblivion and to perpetuate their nmemory has been in proportion to the amount of intelligence they possessed. 'i h' pyramids of Egypt were built to perpetuate the names and deeds of their great rulers. - 'he exhumlations made by the archeologists of Egypt from buried Memphis indicate a desire of those people to perpetuate the memory of their achievements The erection of the great obelisks were for the same purpose. Coming down to a later period, we find the G(reeks and Romans erecting mausoleumls and imonumenits, and carving out statues to chronicle their great aclievements and carry them down the ages. It is also evident that the Mound-builders, in piling up their great mounds of earth, had but this ideato leave something to show that they had lived. All these works, though many of them costly in the extreme, give but a faint idea of the lives and characters of those whose memory they were intended to perpetuate, and scarcely anything of the masses of the people that then lived. The great pyramids and some of the obelisks remiain objects only of curiosity; the mausoleulms, lnolnumellts and statues are crumbling into dust. It was left to modern ages to establish an iintelligent, undecaying, immutable imethod of perpetuating a full history-imlnmutable in that it is almost unlimited in extent and perpetual in its action; and this is through the art of printing. To the present generation, however, we are indebted for the introduction of the admirable system of local lbiography. lBy this system every man, thougl he has not achieved what the world calls greatness, has the means to perpetuate his life, his history, througll the coming ages. The scythe of Time cuts down all; nothing of the physical man is left. The monument which his children or friends may erect to his memory in the cemetery will crulmble into dust and pass away; but his life, his achievements, the work he has accomplished, which otherwise would be forgotten, is perpetuated by a record of this kind. To preserve the lineaments of our companions we engrave their portraits, for the same reason we collect the attainable facts of their history. Nor do we think it necessary, as we speak only truth of them, to wait until they are dead, or until those who know them are gone: to do this we are ashamed only to publish to the world the history of those whose live, are unworthy of public record.

Mr. Webber acted as insurance agent in connection with his law practice for a time, and also made collections of accounts. Sanford M. Green, now of Bay City, was the.Judge of the Saginaw Circuit Court at that time, and the court was held at Saginaw Court House. Judge Green was one of the most able jurists of Michigan, and was for a time one of the Judges of the Supreme Court. He was tlen just in the prime of life, and transacted the business of the court with great dispatch. Jabez G. Sutherland, afterward Circuit Judge, and later author of "Sutherland on )amnages," John Moore, of Saginaw, afterward Circuit Judge, and Mr. Webber were the most prominent members of the Saginaw County bar. Moses Wisner, of Ponti:ac (afterward (overnor of Michigan), and William M. Fenton, of Flint (:at one time Lieutenant-Governor of Michigan), also came to Saginaw frequently to try cases before Judge Green, in which Mr. Webber was engaged. Court opened in the morning at eight o'clock, an hour's recess was taken for dinner, anld another hour for tea, and the business of the day closed at any time from ten o'clock to midnight. All the cases on the docket, were on call at twelve o'clock on the first day of the term. With such methods of business the case. were rapidly disposed of, and a large aiount of work was done in a short time. The litigation arose principally ovir lunmbering contracts, the running of logs in streams, riparian rights, etc., in all of which Mr. Webber took an active part. In June, 1857, he formed a law plirtnership with John J. Wheeler, iinder tlh firm n ame of Webber & Wheeler, which continued until l)ecember 31, 1860. In 1861 Mr. Webber becamie the senior member of the law firm of Webber, Thompson & (Gage, which continued, however, only about six months. Chauncey 1I.

Smith, a cousin of Mr. Webber, came from Romeo, b icll., and entered IMr. Webber's office on salary, and continued until July 1, 1863, when the two formed a law lpartnership under the firmn name of WNebber & Smith. This partnership lasted until 1869, iwhen Mr. VWebber retired from genertl law practice, to act only as counsel. lThe Fiint P'ere Marquette lailway Company was organized in 1857, and soon after its organization Mr. Webber commenced acting as Attorney and Counsel for the companey, and this relation continued until March 1, 1870, when he was engaged on salary by the company to act as its Land Commissioner and General Solicitor. lle company had a land grant extending along the line of its road across the State of Michigan, comprising sometling over five hundred thousand acres, and this large property was intrusted to the care and management of Mr. Webber.

The sales of stone during the year 1887 amounted to three thousand cords, while the lime product during the same period reached forty thousand barrels, and has continued in increasing ratio since. As al adjunct to the railroad Mr. Webber has erected a very line summer hotel at Bay Port, on the shore of Wild Fowl Bay, and laid out a plat of lots for the erection of cottages. The hotel was opened to the public in June, 1886, and the patronage for two seasons proved so large that it was found necessary to build an annex, more than doubling the capacity of the hotel. Wild Fowl Bay is a beautiful sheet of water, being part of Saginaw Bay, and is one of the finest sailing courses upon the Great Lakes. Another of the important enterprises of Mr. Hoyt was the construction of the Saginaw & Mt. Pleasant Railroad, running from Coleman on the Flint & Pere Marquette Railroad to Mt. Pleasant, a distance of fifteen miles. Mr. Webber was for a time President of thle company formed to build this line. The road has since been purchased hby the Flint & Pere Marquette. Mr. Webber took a prominent part il tile development of the salt industry of the Saginaw Valley. From the earliest time there had been a sort of tradition that there were valuable salt deposits underlying the territory, and as far back as 1842, I)r. Ifoughton, State geologist, had bored some experimental wells near Saginaw, which were abandoned, however, witnout any definite results. Tn 1859 a bill was introduced in the,egislature by Grand Rapids parties to donate il0,00(t aid to a company formed there to bore for salt. A meeting of -the prominent citizens of the Saginaw Valley was called to take action to procure a similar bounty for experiments in that locality, and Mr. Webber was present and took part in the deliberations. tpon consultation it was thought tlat the State chull hardly be induced to pay another $10,000, as the State Treasury in those days was not overflowing, and knowing that the Legislature would be glad to seize upon a pretext to defeat the Grand Rapids bill, it was decided to introduce as a substitute a bill providing. that the State should pay a bounty of ten cents a barrel on all salt that should be made from brine found in Michiganl, and also exempting all property engaged in the manufacture of salt from taxation. Mr. Webber was al)pointe( one of a committee to lay this substitute before the Legislature. He drew up the bill, and it was introduced by lion. James Blirney, State Senator at that time for Saginaw County. When the bill was introduced it created considerable merriment and was accepted by the members of the Legislature as a huge joke, so slight was the faith then existing that salt in paying quantities could be found. One of the members, humorously inclined, moved to amend the bill by making the bonnty ten cents a bushel instead of ten cents a barrel, five times as much as was asked for, and this amendment was adopted, and the bill was passed, February 15, 1859, much to the chagrin of (rand Rapids parties. As soon as tlhe bill was passed Mr. Webber drew up a subscription 'paper and devoted several days in canvassing for subscribers to the stock of the East Saginaw Salt Manufacturing (ompany, which was organized for tile purpose of malking tile experiments. Tllls was the first comp'iny that was organized to bore for salt; in the Saginaw Valley,:nd tlhe company that demonstrated the existenceof brine in Michigan in paving quantities. Jesse hIoyt set apart ten acres of land. upon which he gave the company an option, on condition tllat if the coinpany found salt it should have tile land for $100 an acre, and if the experiment was a failure, he would retain the land and make no charge for its use. Mr. Iloyt ald Mr. We(bber were both subscribers to the stock of the c.ompany. Mr. Webber drew up the articles of association for the company and was its Secretary ailnd kept its books and records for a time while tile experiments were going on. The boring was commenced in August, 1859, and in May, 1860, the brine was leach(edl.id analyzed and found to be of first quality. The result produced a wonderful effect upon values of land in Saginaw Valley, and the excitement for a time ran high. The company immediately commenced the erection of a salt block, and in June, PORTRAIT ANNI BIOGRAPHICAL RECORD.19 195 1860. made the first salt that was ever made for market in the Saginaw Valley.

Democrats and one Independent made up the necessary sixty-seven votes. Secret meetings were held by the Democrats and the anti-Chandler Republicans separately, to devise a plan of campaign and to select some candidate upon which he sixtyseven could unite. This was no easy task. It was thought best to choose one of the Judges of the Supreme Court, and from among these Isaac P. Christiancy was proposed by the anti-(handler Republicans. Judge Christiancy before the rebellion was a Democrat, but went over to the Republicans on the slavery question,and was generally regarded as a Republican. lie was an able Judge, and stood high in the estimation of the people. When Judge Christiancy was proposed the D)emocrats hel( a secret conference, and it was decided to send Mr. Webber to interview him and find out how he stood politically. Mr. Webber called upon Judge Christiancy and had a long interview with him, in which the Judge reviewed his past political experiences, saying that aside from the slavery question lie was as much a Democrat in principle as before the war, and that as the slavery question was now settled he saw no grounds of difference. As an assurance to the Democrats he gave Mr. Webber a statement in writing embodying the views brought in the interview, which Mr. Webber presented to his colleagues. The result was that the Democrats unanimously decided to accept the offer made by the anti-Chlandler Republicans to unite upon Judge (hristianey and elect him as an Independent, and this information was conveyed to themby a committee of which Mr. Webber was a member. The vote winch followed a few days later gave Judge Chrlistiancy the sixty-sevei votes according to tho e programlme which had been so skillfully planned, and when the vote was concluded and it was announced that Chandler was defeated, hundreds of hats went up into the air amid shouts of cnthusiam. The backbone of the Chandler power was broken and the defeat of Carpenter and Ramsey soon followed. In 1876 Mr. Webber was sent as a delegate to the National Democratic Convention at St. Iouis, and was chosen chairman of the Michigan delegaton. He introduced the resolution which was adopted by the convention recommending to tle various State Conventions the abolition of the "two-thirds" rule. In the autumn of the same year he was unanimously nominated for Governor of Michigan. As the State was strongly Republican there was considerable doubt of his election, yet lie refused to resort to those political methods of influencing voters, wliicli have become so common in the ordinary campaigns. lie believed that it was improper to solicit votes for himself, and preferred defeat rather than to take that course. In accepting the nomination Mr. Webber said upon this point: "I do inot regard suchl acceptance as imposing any olbligation upon me to labor for my own electiol, and consequently, shall hold myself bound to labor in the political field only the same as any otller citizen. I still hiold to the opinion heretofore expressed, that the good of the country would be subserved if ell didates would work more efficiently for tlie people after election, rather than devote their time and streniigth in laboring for thlemselves I bfore election." Ile expressed simiilar views two e'ar-. before lwhen lie was nominated for State Senato', saying tliat lie believed in the doctrine of the earlier day.s of the Republic when it was tlought indelic:te for the political c:andidat t,) labor for his own election. I)urilng both of tlese campaigns Mr.Wcebber followed out these princil)le, and made rnoeffort from the plat form to gain votes. Although he was defeated for (Goverlnor lie received nearly two thousand more votes than Mr. Tilden received for President, and more than any other l)emocrat has ever received for governor of Michigan. Mrl. Wcebher becamtle a rnerlerl of Sagiinaw Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons, of East Saginaw, in 1855, the year of its organization, being the third member initiated. As the two who had preceded him have passed away, lie is now the oldest living Mason made in that lodge. IIe was made a Royal Arch Mason in Washington Chapter, at Flint, and in 1864 was a charter member of Saginaw Valley Clapter 31, organized at East Saginaw. lie served as -igh Priest for three years, and in 1869 was elected Grand Iigh Priest of the Grand Chapter of Michigan.

Mr. Hoyt was a large-hearted, liberal mllall who believed that he best hell)cd others by hel)ing them to earin their own living, and enabling tlhenm to preserve their independence. This trait of his character was well illustrated bn a remark make bh him upon his last visit to Saginaw. A friend complimenting him upon the erection of the Power Block and the good thereby acconiplished by furnishing opportunities to those without ineanis, Mr. Hoyt remarked: "I would build a dozen such if it were not that nmy cares are alreadv burdensome to me, and every additional buildiing is an additional care." 'Tlis same trait of character was exemplified by his uniform practice in the early days of Saginaw to put vessels upon the stocks every fall in order that employment might be furnished for laborers during the winter. Mr. Hoyt was emillently:t modest man, carefully avoiding notoriety. When the Bancroft House was completed and ready to be named, lie authorized a committee of citizens to select a name for the house, with ly onl ne restrictioll that his name should not be connected with it. Quiet and unostentatious, helpful to all with whom he came in contact, strictly honlorable in his dealings, he made friends of all who knew him. The limits allotted to this sketch will not permit of a more extended statement. Ile died August 14, 1882, at his home in the city of New Yoik, and the esteem in which he was held by his business associates who had known him from their boyhood is shown by the resolutions and the remarks supporting the same at the meeting of the Produce Exchange called August 15, 1882, upon the occasion of his death, which were as follows: NEW YORK PRODUCE EXCHANGE. EXTRACTS FROM MINUTES OF MEETIN4; IELD August 15, 1882. Mn. LEONARD IIAZELTINE: Mr. President and Gentlemen: From long asso. ciation with Mr. Hoyt, to whose memory we meet to pay our respect, the duty has been placed upon Ime to prepare 'a minute giving somewhat a history of his life anid character for permanent record upon the hooks of our Exchange. With your permission I will read it: Whereas: It has pleased God in his wisdom to remove from us our friend and associate, Mr. Jesse I oyt, we desire to place on record the following minute of our appreciation of his life and character. IMr. Jesse Iloyt was born in this city on the 12th of March, 1815. At the age of seventeen he commenced his business life as a clerk in the Wlloles:le Grocery House of C. (V L. D)enhison & Co.. then a very prominent firm in l)ey Street. His industry, activity and faithfulness was rewarded by lis admission to tile firm. ()n reaching his majority, he continued in the grocery business until 1838, when lie retired to enter the flour and grain commission business with his father, James Hoyt (who had recently retired from the film of Eii Hart & Co.) under the firm name of James M. Ioyt & Son. He continued in this firm until the death of his father il 1854, whell he re-organized it under the namae of Jesse Iloyt & Co., and continued in active business until May, 1881, when Messrs. Jesse and Alfred MN. Hoyt retired, leaving the business to their junior partners. lie took a dcee) interest in all matters connected with the gr:lin trade of New York, having been actively engaged in it from its very commencement, and its rapid and inmmense growth was in no small degree attributable to his energy and foresight. He early appreciated the growing importance of the great Western States and took an active part in their development. His first investment in the West was made in tle year 185(), when he bought large trats of timiber lands in the Saginaw Valley, in the State of Michigan, appreciating that the immense oak and pine forests with which it was wooded would ultimately be of great value. He entered into tlhe work of developing this investment with great energy and that section of tlhis country is to-day one of the richest of the West in its timber and agricultural wealth, and in its salt deposits, and these, together with East Saginaw built on his lands, with its 25,000 inhabitants and its immense business resources, bear testimony to the wisdom of his plans in its development and growth. In connection with his Michigan interests, he was largely interested in the building of the Flint & Pere Marquette Railroad, which by his energy was completed to Ludington on Lake Michigan (opposite Milwaukee), forming a direct line from Toledo to that point, and by connection with other roads through the Northwest. He was President 200 PORTRAIT AND BIOGRAPHICAL RECORD. of this road at the time of his death. IIe has also been connected with other large railroad interests in the Western country, and associated with others he built the first East and West railroad in the State of Minnesota, the Winona & St. Peter Railroad, which after its completion was sold to Its present ownels —the Chicago & Northwestern Railroad. He was also instrumental in building the Milwaukee & Northern Railroad, the Wisconsin & Michigan, and Ontonagon & Brule River Railroad from Milwaukee up to Lake Superior, running through vast iron, copper and timber lands, in which he was largely interested. lie was also at the time of his death a director in the Chesapeake & Ohio Railroad, in which he became interested on its reorganization. Mr. Hoyt, in connection with Mr. Angus Smith, of Milwaukee, built the first railroad elevator in Milwaukee for the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railroad, later increasing the number to three, and some years since sold them to that road, who operate them now themselves. He afterward built three large elevators at Milwaukee for the Chicago & Northwestern Railroad Company, and also some years ago became largely interested in the elevator! at Chicago in connection with the St. Paul & Northwestern Railroads. Two years ago lie built the large elevator in Jersey City for the handling of grain received over the Erie Railroad. He always appreciated the fact that much of his accumulated fortune was due to the labors of others, and through his whole life shared liberally with them the advantages of his operations. He was an active director in the Merchants' Exchange National Bank, New York Elevated Railroad and the Home and Commercial Insurance Companies, of this city, but refused to act in such capacity in many corporations of similar character from the latik of time to give their interests his personal attention. During his entire business life he was fixed in the determination never to allow his name to be connected with any office of trust or responsibility to which he could not give such attention and labor as the stockholders had a right to expect of him. From the above summary of a long, active and prosperous life we cannot refrain from giving prominence on our records to the underlying principles which ever governed his actions, and which were the foundation of his success. He believed in character above reputation, was modest and retiring in manner, mild and gentle in disposition, kind and thoughtful for the interests of others, yet always strong as adamant for the right. He believed in honesty, not because it is the best policy, but from the high moral and religious standard that it is right. Ilis business enterprises were a pleasure to himn, and those were dearest to his heart that bv their development and growth brought corresponding blessings to the surrounding community. Aftel five months' confinemeent in his sick room, months rich in exemplification of kindness, patience and Christian fortitude, lie has laid aside his armor and is at rest. From East to West in thousands of homes, among the rich and poor, there is heartfelt sorrow to day for the loss of one whom they respected and loved, and in those homes will long remain for good the influence of his pure life and noble example. Our Exchange will long miss his pleasant face and his able counsels, our young men will mourn the loss of a kind and judicious adviser, and those whose privilege it was to meet him in the more private walks of life will miiss the intellectual and accomplished Christian gentleman. MIR. AL.:XAND.Is: I E. ()iOir said: Gentlemen: I come here to speak of the aplpreciation which the merchants of New York have had of our late associ:tte, Mr. Hoy t and miore especially to say to the yolung men who are here that the evidences of his life, beginning as lie did in the very opecning of youth, and ending, as lie has, with the honors and benefits of a life given to upright, honest mercantile pursuits, should be to them an incentive of encouragement equalled by no evidences of a like nature that have beenl presented to them on the floor of this Exchange. Julst and equitable as the foundations upon which we lay our building, such were his foundations at the oultstart, and just and equitable in everything that lie did up till lie heard the last summons, is the record, the glorious record to whlich we. as his associates, and his family, who were more closely connected with him can point. Gentlenen, this is a sad thing that we have to place upon our records-the decease of one of the oldest merchants in the grain trade; a man who, early appreciating the possibilities of this lmognificent openinlg for American commerce, did not stay in New York to reap the benefit of what others might do for us, but lie reached out to the confines of civilization and was almost always to be found in the incipiency of the growth of this trade, manfully, courageously investing that which he had himself and encouraging others to go on and build up to the PORTRAIT ANI)?IOGRAPIIICAL RECORD. 201 magnificent proportions of to-day the grain trade of the United States. MR. DAVI) BIN(;TOHA said: Gentlemen, Mr. Hoyt presented himself to.ie in a somewhat different light from my friend, Mr. Orr. We have heard from Mr. IHazeltine of tllose who were associated with him in his fanily; we have heard from those who were associated with him as his competitors in business; now, I would like to spe. k from another point of view, as one who has had dealings with lini, for if anytlhing will bring a man's character out imore readily than another it will be when you colme to trade with him. If there is any mieainness there, you will sure to find it out wlien you buy goods flromll him and have them delivered. Almost imy ear:liest experience in tllis country was with Mr. IIoyt and with those who stood withl hi in the raill trade' at that day, and I have been accusto toe s ay. and say now, that for honesty of dealilngs, for de pendence upon their word, there is not in thiis world a body of merchants as trusltwortlhy as tile merchants of New York. I say this Iecaluse.I ill not born here, I come from labroad. It was to that high standard tlhat Mr. IIoyt so largely eontributed by his uprightness of dealings. 'lhere lre others left with us, I am glad to say, 1upon whose word we could depend as well as his; but when a verbal trade was madle withi hiiii you could depend upon it just as muell, perhaps a little iimore, than if it was written down in black and whlite. We have seen a tall tree in the forest towerinl high above all the rest. When suchl a tree goes down we miss it from its place. A tlholsalnd of us might go down and no considerable splce would be made; we would hardly be mlissed. Btut when one of these monarchls goes down lie is missed. We have heard of the lessons of his life. There is one of tlhem I want to bring out, andil that Mr. Hoyt's money was made by steady and careful perseverance and not by what we call speculation. He did speculate in a large way by seeing far ahead and holding for an ultimate advance. That was all right. But to-day we are apt to desire to make money too rapidly. -le waited his time, went on quietly, he was not ruffled, did not get excited, nld his monley gradually accumulated, and in that reslpect was a great success.'TLet 'us learn a le(ssonl frolil that. We are all apt' to.get excited and thinlk we are d(oinIg better than our forefathers. T donl't think we can improve upon themi. Let us emulate their example, and as each one of these old men go away see that the son s1ill equlll thle sire, andtl thatt tlhe nate of the New Yorlk lmerchallnt slhall stand where it does now as a standll.rd for just and honest dealings. MTi..T. II. Tlhmiir K said: (;eiitleincei, it is well indeed that when' we are callle(ld Ilul)p to p the last tribute to our departed associate:111nd frielnd to think there is nothing to supplress in the life of this nmani. lie has gone in a:nd amtlongst us for more than thirty years; we havI e lknown himi well in all tlie departments of business life. aid we lhave never found anytlhing but the e(lulble, even dispostitionl which is so pleasing. and if we were called upon to ia:tmie the attributes for which t1hits character was celebrated they wouldl be wisdolll atnd justice and integrity, and if ill the v:rious extensive operattions of life lie has been so well tserved by the associates which lie ihas called arouniid hIim it was hbe'ause there was in his heart and in his character that justice which could tlapprleciate the efforts of others; for 1 am told tliat in a:ll his vast operations in tile West no Itmn has IIeen miore fatithlfully served and no man could select agents with greater wisdom to carry out the boundless projects which lie had in h'and. Alld if it is true, as we adlmit, that tile stream canlnot rise Ihiglher Ilita teic fountatii, so, I think, we will atdmit that as justice and integrity was a part of lis character. so lie linew how to mark it in his associates:ndt siubordilltes, and received from themi thilt service which cela only be given where one seelks and loves the employer. There was also about himi tll:t kindly disposition, that anxlety to ihear:lnd to give the benefit of his wisdom to any one waho slhould come to him for advice. And there are those within the sound of my voice to-day, young mien whose hearts are too full of sympatl!hy and sorrow for his decease to be able to give expression to their feelings; remembering, as they do, his many efforts, lis kind words and counsel in their behalf. PORTRAIT AND BIOGRAPHICAL RECORD. A just man. Does not justice cover almost every attribute that you think of in the human character when it is combined with kindness and integrity? And when we honor these traits in our departed friend and associate, we honor not only ourselves, for he was our associate, but we honor all human nature that presents to us the development of these causes from wllich we can gather so much, and from which our own course in life can be sustained and advanced. It is very wise to enter this minute upon our record, and I trust that when the last sad honors have been paid that we shall carry into our daily life the memory of what he was to his friends, the memory of what he was to business, and in years hence, when we look back upon the names of the members of this trade, not among the least will be the name of Mr. Jesse Hoyt. The resolutions were unanimously adopted. OHN A. LEINBERGER, who resides on section 1, Frankenlust Township, Bay County, was born in Bavaria, Germany, July 19, 1830, and is the son of Frederick and Catherine Leinberger. IHe passed his youth in the Fatherland, whence in 1847 he emigrated to America in company with his brother, Adam. After landin New York City, they proceeded Westward to Detroit and from there came overland by team to Frankenmuth Township, Saginaw County, the trip occupying one week. After remaining there one winter, Mr. Leinberger removed to the city of Saginaw in the spring of 1848, and one year later came to Frankenlust. Ulpon coming to this township Mr. Leinberger at first bought twenty acres of Government land. Shortly after he came to this country, his mother; who wished to join her children in the United States, left her home in Germany, took passage on a steamer bound for New York, but on the ocean she was taken sick and died before land was reached. The father of our subject died in Germany in 1835, when the latter was a child of only five years. The union of our subject and Miss Maria Catharina Drusstein was celebrated July 8, 1849. The bride, whose birth occurred June 24, 1828, was a lady of noble character and genial disposition, devoted to her husband and children. There were born to Mr. and Mrs. Leinberger nine children, namely: Adaim, born Octoler 14, 1852; Elizabeth, who marri.ed John Roedel and resides in Bay City; Maria Barbara, the wife of August Kleinard, and a resident of Portsmouth Township, this county; Anna Catherine died in 1882; Geolge Stephen lives in Monitor Township; Anna Margaretla, now Mrs. George Arnold, lives in Monitor Township; Adam Leonard died in infancy; Adam Conrad, a teacher in a Lutheran school in Chicago, arid John Tobias, who makes his home in Frankenlust Township. In his political views Mr. Leinberger is a stanch Democrat and cast his first Presidential vote for Buchanan. The first office to which he was elected was that of Township Treasurer, which lie held for thirteen years; later he was chosen Clerk of Frankenlust Township, filling that position efficiently for five years. When Frankenlust Township was a part of Saginaw County, lie served as its representative on the County Board of Supervisors for two years and retained this position for four years after it belonged to Bay County. He belonged to the committee which was sent to Lanlsing to advocate the measure of having Frankenlust Township taken from Saginaw County and annexed to Bay Counity, and together with the others who were alike with him interested in the measure he succeeded in getting the Ohange made after he had remained in Lansing ninety-one days. From 1870 until 1880 lie served as Postmaster in Frankenlust and has held numerous offices of minor importance within the gift of his fellow\-citizens. Having now retired from active farming pursuits, Mr. Leinberger has divided up his two hundred and seventy acres among his sons and retained for himself only eighteen acres, upon which lie and his wife reside. A member of tie Lutheran Church he was for nine years Trustee and for four years Vorsteher of the churcih, and has always been held in high respect in the community. His first wife died March 10, 1880, and in January, 1883, he was married to Anna Maria Meier, a native of Illinois and a most estimable lady. I '1%.., -1... -j-.1 lp", I. -4 -?

We quote from "The Industries of the Saginaws" the following description of the works of this firm: "The sawmillis a two-story structure, 100x200 feet in dimensions, with seven large boilers 5x16 feet, feeding two powerful engines of three hundred and one hundred horse-power respectively; four small pumping engines in connection witl the salt wells; a Wicks Bros. new improved gang mill; and two band sawmills. The perfect mechanism of this plant makes it one of the most complete in the country. The logs are taken from the booms by an endless chain of broad links witlh picks or teeth every two feet, the lower pulley of this chain being under the water in the boom. "The logs are pushed over the chain and caught by the teeth and a steady stream of logs goes up the incline at a rapid rate, where they are faced.lnd sent rapidly to the gang-mill near by, which saws four logs into two-inch planks at once, and can reduce to lumber twelve hundred logs per day. Tlle lumber is run along revolving rollers to trimming tables, from which the slabs are run on rollers against three small circular saws, and cut into elqual lengths, dropped into an auton.atic sllhoot ii(l whirled away to storage bills. lhlere they are dropped into large wagons and carted into slab piles. "The lumber rolls along revolving rollers to sizing tables where it runs against saws, cutting into equal lengths, and then drops onto trucks and is carried away along a tramway to the piling grounds. Railroad tracks run throughout the premises, and the piling grounds have first-class water frontage; the firm thus enjoys unexcelled facilities for shipping their product which amounts yearly to eighteen million feet of lumber, three million laths, the same number of staves, and soventy-five thousand sets of heading per year. ()i the premises are four salt wells and a salt block, and the salt products of the firm amounts to about fifty thousand barrels per year." July 31, 1853, Mr. Eddy was married to Miss Albina, daughter of Col. John Dunning, of Charleston,Me.,in which place she had been born and reared. Mr. and Mrs. Eddy had a family of four children, namely: Walter S.; Arthur D., who married Laura Seminan. of this city; Charles K.,Jr., and Lila. The three sons are in busilless witl their father, anld the untmarried children atre at lhome, their residence being an elegant brick structure at No. 636 North lefferson Street. Mrs. li(ldy died March 30, 18!90. Slle was a woman of sweet disposition and large executive ability, and gave tlie best years of her life to the training and development of tlie minds and hearts of ler chlildren. All that thle are to-day, they very largely owe to her lare and skill in the training tley received froml her. IToroughly domestic in her tastes, her home in the society of her huisband and (hlildllen was to her tlie Imost sacred spot on earth. In politics Mr. Eddy and his sons are stacllh lepliticans.

HIe also rendered great service in aiding surgeons of other regirents. He was on the battlefield during the entire time of his remaining with his regiment, receiving his discharge on account of physical disability, and was mustered out with the rank of Assistant Surgeon. When leaving the army our subject decided to make his home in Bay City, and coming hither has been engaged in the practice of his profession ever since. His health, however, has never been what it was before he endured the hardships of life on the battlefield. Dr. Cooper was married to Miss iSarah Murphy, of Uniontown, this State, May 14, 1866. Mrs. Cooper is a lady of refinement and culture. a.id greatly beloved by all her acquaintances. Religiously, Doctor and Mrs. Cooper are members of the Episcopal and Presbyterian Churches, respectively. Socially our subject was a member of the l. S. Grant Post, No. 67, G. A. R., of which body he was Surgeon. As has already been said, Dr. Cooper is a pioneer in his profession, not only in the city, but in the State; he has climbed to the ridge of life, and flr' - the eminence at which lie stands, can look lnckl proudly over a past spent in usefulness. ENRY LINDNER. Our subject is one of the older Prosecuting Attorneys of Bay County, and also does a large leal-estate business. Mr. Lindner was born in Ianover, Germany, in the town of Ilamlen, May 25, 1841. He is a son of George A. and Dorotlly (Ruemekorf) Lindner. His father was a brewer, which business he followed until his decease, which occurred in 1863. Our subject's maternal grandsire had the magnificent experience of a solldis serving under Napoleon Bonaparte. IHe was a stockman by calling and at the time of his death was ninety-seven years old. The home of our subject was rich in boys, for the family numbered seven that gathered about the board and fireside. Of these Henry was the second in order of birth. l(e was reared in his native city which is a Gtovernment post on the Weser River, twelve miles from Hanover. He attended the common schools of the countr,' until lie was thirteen and a half years old and he was then sent to a seaman's school at lremen. and was soon sent out as a cadet oil a merchant vessel. lie sailed for eighteen months on the old sailing vessel "\onstein" and made three trips to New York. ()n his last voyage hither, in 1856, lie determined to stay in America, and in accordance withI this determnination ran away from the ship. Getting as far from tlhe seaboard as possible our subject proceeded to Michigan, and.July 8 of tle same year came to lBay Cit:y. Ile was first engaged on a farmi for about four months and later went into( the ellmploy of Peter IMcMurray at Sebewaing. The latter was a fisller and had extensive fisheries on Saginiaw Bay and lake Iluron. ()ur' subject beg:a for himself in 18.59, and followed fishing until 1876, hllv',ng a market at Bay City and other points from - which lie wholesaled his goods. In July, 1861. Mrr.Lindner enlisted in Company K, Fifth Michigan In fantry. lie was nmstered in at Ft. \Wayne, l)etroit. lie was engaged in building Ft. Lyons until the spring of 18;62 and was then sent on the 'Peninsular Campaign land took part in the engagements in Pcnnlsylvania. lie was at (eolrgetown, William;sburg and Fait Oaks. and in 1863 swas detailed as Hospital Steward at Annapolis in tle naval academy where he remsained until his time expired. In August, 1861, our subject was sent to Washington and placed in the War l)epartnient as clerk until lie was finally mustered out in November, 1864. On returning to Michigan Mr. Lindner again located in Sebewaing, Huron C'ounty, where lie engaged in fishing until 1876. Meanwhile lie had been studying ltaw and had even practiced at Sebewaiing a(nd was highly regarded as a man of excellent judgment and commnon sense by all his patrons. For hour years he served as Township Treasurer. Trute ambition is merely ununtlaued effort. Although his advantages were late coming to him, our subject was so determined to be a finished lawyer that in 1876i he entered the law department I '..;: q, - "le."

PORTRAIT AND BIOGRAPHICAL RECORD. James Shearer was therefore early sent to school, and impressed with the necessity and importance of making thorough and valuable imllrovement of time in this direction. It is evident that lie did this, for in 1836 he entered a store il Albany, anld was found a capable lad. iBt this oecupltion, although not entirely distasteful to the youngl man, was nevertheless not quite congenial. As phrenologists would say, the organs of size, weight, calculation, and the perceptive faculties, seemed to be prominent. In other words, he seemed to have a mechanical head, and to be of a practical turn. Accordingly, after two years' service in the store, he came to Michigan, feeling that the West, tlhen comparatively new, offered better opportunities for a young man who had his own resources- alone to depend upon. I-e reached Detroit in May, 1838, and at once set himself about carrying out plans in the line of his natural proclivities. The first stel to that end was to aprtlentice himself for six years to a builder. I)uring the last four years of suchl life he devoted his evenings lands such other spare time as he could command to the stiudy of geometl:ry and architecture. All of this exacted and received the most studious and severe appllicationl, andi called for an exercise of will-lpower and deterllinlation of no common order. IBut patiently. Iloddingly, and thoroughly in love with his course, did the young man lroceeed. At tile expiration ofl the six years Mr. Shearer returned to Albany and enltered the All-ban A'aldemy for tlhe ipmrpose of taking ui) tle higher mathematics and pursuing still furter her the stldy of architecture. (ompleting this course, liI returned to Detroit, but did not remain there long. Two things decided him in this-lie wanted to see more of this country tlhan lie liad yet seen. land study its architecture, not as an idle traveler;:and during his travels he wanted to make practical use of the knowledge he llad acquired froml study and| apprenticeship. The autumn of 1846 found himi in Montgomery, Ala. That State was building its capitol, and the youlng man's aptness, affability, and energy gained hlim ready employment and favor. 'His thorough knowledge of arcllitecture, and marked ability and skill, here, at the first prominent opportunity of putting them to the test, Soon discovered to those people what manner of man lhe was; andt within a short time lie was placedl in charge a:ld hadit complete superintendence of tile work to its practical coimpletion. F.or a young imani only twelnty-three years old, this was a very riesponsible and ltloud p)osition. and does not re(quie added wiords to indictte his ieriit anld ability. lThis opelned abundlant opportunity for employment in tlhe South, hltd he chosen to avail himself of it. But his home, friends, and acquaintances were in tile North, and he returned to Detroit in 1848, where he remained until 1862 in business for himself, which became of great proportions, both as an architect and builder. In fact, of such magnitude was it, that for the latter nin" years of this period, he found it necessary to colfine himself strictly to contracting and erecting buildings. Many of the finest architectural and substantial structures of the time in that city are the work of his genius. Not alonele a't b ild lerl, howet, was MrI. Shearer regar:eild with Ifav(or, bhut lie also served tlie city ill va\riousi c:'pcitiet; with eff:tiiency.

Dr. and Mrs. Erwin have two children, whose names are Mary Louise and Roberta Julia. The I)octor has never sought political preference or honors, his profession being more to him than emoluments of offices. For four years he was a member of the Board of Health. Hie and his wife are members of the Methodist Episcopal Church, of which lie is a Trustee. His home, which is located at the corner of Sixth and Monroe Streets, is a beautiful residence, and well adapted to the needs of the family. On first coming here he located at the corner of Fifth and Adams Streets, where he still has his office. P RANK ENGLISH. A progressive agriculturist in Buena Vista Township, Saginaw - County, our subject is the proprietor of a fine farm on section 13. It comprises eighty acres of land, which is a model in the way of cultivation and general appointments. Mr. English was born on Canadian shores, May 5, 1835. The parents of our subject removed to the northern part of Maine when he was an infant of a year, and he remained in that State until he was eighteen years of age, being engaged in logging on the Penobscot River. In 1863 he wished to explore the Western States, and came to Michigan. After locating in the Wolverine State, Mr. English was employed in lumbering on the White River in the westernl part of the State, having for his employers the late Joseph Head and John Walsh. In the spring of 1873 he again changed his location and came to Saginaw, and made the city his residence until his location on the farm, where he at present makes his home, the date of removal there being in 1888. As above stated, his firm consists of eighty acres of arable land, and in addition to this he owns valuable property in Saginaw. Mr. English was united in marriage in November, 1883, to Miss Mary Hagen, the place of whose birth was Detroit, and the date thereof December 21, 1853, the same year, it will be remembered, in which our subject was born. Mr. and Mrs. English have become the parents of two children, who bear the names respectively of Lottie and Katie. Since locating upon his farm, our subject has given his attention almost entirely to agricultural pursuits, and is making a splendid success in his calling. Although lie prefers to devote himself to his farming interests, yet he is a popular main a.nd may be called a public-sp)iriteid and enterprising citizen. \ ],ENNIS GALLA,( iER. There is probatbly iJ not one of the farmers of lHlamipton Towins shil), Bay County, who is more thoroiigghly representative of the best class of ' substantial, enterprising agriculturists than Mr. (Gallagher. lie was born in the North of Ireland, in 1836, and there he lived until lie reached mature years. In 18601 he came to Amnerica, locating in M icliiganl, where he has since nmade his lihome. Althoiughl tlie wife of tur' subject was also a native of Ireland, it was not until some twelve years after Mir. Gallagher came to this country. that they were united in marriage. 11er maiden nanme was Ellen Maher, and she had come t(o this country witlh her parentts about the year 185)() and hl(d been livilng ill Milchiganl. Three Iof tlhe six children who were granted to this worthy outiple are still inl this life-Janimes, Francis J. and I)ennis M. There were two brothers of our subject who came to America at about the samne time tlhat lie made his journey hither, and they both took part in the War of the Rehellion, and have now passed awav. Michael was killed during his term of service near Ft. D)onelson. and the other brother. Charles, died in Oakland County, several years later. A brother, John, is now a resident of that county, and one of its substantial farmers; another brother, James, lives in Williamston, Bay County. The beautiful farm belonging to Mr. Gallagher comprises some fifty acres and is advantageously located near Bay City. Its fine condition attests the thoroughness and enterprise of our subject. and his industry, frugality and thorough business PORTRAIT AND BIOGRAPHICAL RECORD.21 219 q1ualities enable loin to build op not only ai suCcessfuil butsiness but also to make lininselIl tliorotiihlIv resp~ected and esteenised li'y hisi fel low-towsismieis.

Mr. Van Emster was married in this city, July 26, 1883, to Miss Beetha Suedekum, who was born in Newport, Ky., but reared in Bay City. Their family comprises three children, whose names are Bertha, Hilda and Linda. Mr. Van Emster is an active -member of the State Pharmacists' Association.

WYMAN is the Truant ()Officer for Bay City, he having been first appointed when the Act took effect and has since been the incumbent o' that office, giving it his entire attention during the winter months. tie is also Sanitary Officer for Bay City, to which position lie was appointed in 1887, being an active member of the Sanitary Board and practically the only one who has charge of the truant children, by which terlm is included all neglected children by either parents, or guardians, also childrewt who arc uncontrollable or who have unfit and and improper guardians. There has been more done under this law since Mr. Wyman has had charge of the business than at any other time, and this county pays more attention to it than do others in the State. He is now acting with the Judge of the Probate Court. The position of Intelligence Officer is his and he does tile good work of securing homes for friendless children. He gives his earnest labor in looking after the poor and reporting them to the Superintendent of the Poor, who usually does according to his wise counsel. As an example of what may be done by an energetic and determined man we point to Mr. Wyman who is well-known for his earnestness and undaunted integrity, aind who iunostenltatiously commands the respect of all his neighbors and many friends. Mr. Wyman was lhorn in Clarence Township, Erie County, N. Y.. to Florian 'ind Clara (lothenberg) Wyman, the father bei ng a farmler and carpenter. ()ur subject spent his early bloyhood on the farm and learnled the trade with his father. }le received a limited cducaltion in the district schools. lie never attended college but beiing of studious habits and at close observer he obtainjed a practical knowledge that has served him to good purpose.

The Saginaw Valley has in the past furnished many proofs of the fact that industry, energy and enterprise, combined with the exercise of sound business judgment, find here a fitting arena for their development, and bring compensation il prosperity and ofttimes wealth. Among those who in Bay Cil y are successfully carrying on large enterprises is Mr. See, senior member and manager of the film of W. E. See & Co., dealers in crockery, glassware, wall paper, etc. Tie firm conducts a wholesale and retail business, the most complete of its kind in the Valley, and occupies a fine building 125x30, and 30x30, the wholesale department being in the basement and storeroom. In their crockery department the firm carries everything from the most common ware to the veryfinest china, also bric-a-brac, lamps and glassware of the most beautiful designs. The business is an old one, having been established twenty-five years ago and was purchased by the present firm from Albert Griswold, in March, 1891. From its inception the business has steadily increased in volume from year to year, while the accurate and reliable methods of the members of the firm, and their constant endeavors to give satisfaction to their customers have combined to give the establishment a popularity not exceeded by that of any firm in the Saginaw Valley.

At that time this region was all a vast wilderness. and the only way in which these settlers could take a trip to Saginaw was by a canoe down the Tittabawassee River, and they thought themselves fortunate to be so situated as to be able to make this trip so easily. The father used to take shingles which he and the son had manufactured to trade at Saginaw for provisions, and even in that way they were allowed only $1.25 per thousand, and at times pork was as high as twenty-two cents a pound. Our subject was happily married April 24, 1870, to Lorania C., daughter of Charles and Lydia (Sturgis) Whitaker, who were both natives of Michigan, and their daughter was also born in the Wolverine State, laving her nativity in Gcnesee County, June 7, 1853. Iler parents were pioneers 'of that county, and her grandfather was one of its first settlers. To our subject and his estimable wife have been granted five children; their oldest, Roy, was born July 21, 1871, and died upon the day that he was two years old; Alta C. was born July 1, 1873, and married Sainuel Acker, of this township; Henry A., born March 30, 1876; Ida M., July 12, 1878; and Mary M., April 29, 188.5, are all at home with their parents. The political views of Mr. Munger have made him rather independent of party ties, but during the war he was a warm upholder of tile administration. In August, 1862, he enlisted in Company E, Twenty-third Michigan Infantry, and served in the Army of the Cumberland, but being overcome during the forced march in the month of October, he contracted inflammation of the lungs from the effects of which he has never entirely recovered. His honorable discharge was granted him on accoiiut of physical disability, February 14,1863, and he now draws a well deserved pension of $24 a month. Mr. Munger has all his life been a public-spi:ited citizen, and a )out five years ago lie aided in building a gristmill at Freeland, which property in the spring of 1891 lie found it necessary to purchase in order to protect his own interests. lie refitted it and now has it running in first-class order. During his residence here lie has been Pathmaster and member of the School Board, and in both capacities has proved of great benefit to the people of the township. When Mr. Munger first came to this township; he had only fifty cents in his pocket, and his beautiful home and.excellent property are the result of his own industry, integrity and enterprise. IIe at first found work in the lumber woods, and the first potatoes which he had he was obliged to bring on his back from a neighbor's, about three and one-half miles distant. In the early days of the Flint & Pere Marquette Railroad he helped clear the track - - -- -1 PORTRAIT ANI) BIOGRAPHICAL RECORD.23 233 anid in other ways hieIpisig ti'c i'i'stiict thle nlew road.

Our subject was married March 25, 1868, to Mrs. Amelia Kampfert Ritter, widow of Andrew Ritter, an early settler in Saginaw. Thit lady was the mother of two daughters and one son; the last named died of consumption in 1890. One daughter is Mrs. Emil Aschard. Mrs. Clark is a native of Germany; she returned to her native land in 1860, having come to America in 1835 with tier father. She has lived in Saginaw nearly all her life. One child, John W., who is now twenty-two years of age, is employed in Aschard's hardware store, where he is a salesnman. The neat and pleasant residence of the family is located at No. 1402 Van Buren Street. The family are members of the Episcopal Church. Our subject has been a Mason since 1866 and has been constant to his lodge work. He is a facile and able writel and frequently contributes articles on popular subjects to the journals of this city. A few words will l)e in place here regardiing the early history of a portion of this counltry, in whichl our subject's maternal ancestors ligutlred. Peter Anspach and two brotlers came to the 1rUited States in 1729 and were among the thlirtyt tlhousand Protestant emigrantsl who mnade the exodus from their country between 1729 and 1735, under the protection of the English Government as a result of the treaty of Utrecht, in which a part of the Palitanate, of which Anspach was a principality, was appropriated by the English (Govlern l ent, the settlers being given in exchange for their land territory in the Mohawk Valley alnd throughlll Pennsylvania where the direct descendants of the three Anspach brothers now reside, especially at Worm.sdorf. Peter Anspach and others were granted land in the Mohawk Valley, but bei ng dissatisfied with the grant they left that vallecy and cut their way through the forests to the colony of B:rks Counity, Pa., locating at Wormsdorf,wlere Ilii descendants still reside.

There is no higher praise than to say of a man "he has helped both. I _ — '. himself and others in journeying through the passing years." And this remark implies un-doibtedly to him whose name heads our sketch. Mr. Moll is a prominent and successful agriculturist, residing on section 30, Blumfield Township,.:Sagiaw County, and stands high in business and social circles, having the esteem and confidence of the community. The native home of our subject was Meckllenlmrgl Germany, and was born in that country March 18, 1844. He received a fair education in his inative:.tongue and picked up the English language after coming to America. He reads and writes with ease in both English and German. lle remained in his native country until reaching the age of twenty years, when he embarked on a sailing vessel for America. After a voyage of ten weeks and three days he landed on American shores and came directly to the Wolverine State, making Grand Haven his destination. He remained there two years engaged in fishing. When leaving Grand IIaven our subject came to Saginaw, where he remained one winter and then decided to 'make permanent settlement in Blumfield Township, where he worked out at farm labor for about a twelvemonth. Taking unto himself a wife and helpmate in the person of Miss Margaretta Gansz, September 27, 1866, Mr. Moll settled upon the farm where he has since made his home and which is located on section 30. Ile is the proprietor of oine hundred and twenty-three acres of rich and productive land, which has been broulght, to its present fine condition by thle energy and names of Ilenry, Minnie, Anna, Louisa, Ernest, (G'corge, Fred and Katie.

Our subject has a farm of one hundred and forty-five acres in Williams Township, Bay County, which he has placed in charge of a brother-in-law. His political views bring him into alliance with the Republican party, but he does not dabble in politics as he prefers to devote himself entirely to business, and in this he has proved himself wise, as his abundant success attests. E DWIN PELTIER, one of the plrominent business men of Bay City, is the proprietor of a large livery stable and also engages ill breaking colts and horses, which lie does with a great deal of success. He is the son of Andrew -and.Catherine (Fobert) Peltier, both being natives of Kent County, Ontario. The father held several official positions, such as Magistrate, Collector, Assessor and Alderman. IHe came of an old French family in Canada and died in 1872, at the age of seventy-four. The mother of our subject passed from this life in 1880 at the age of seventy-six years. In 1888 Mr. Peltier established his large and commodious barn, located on Twelfth Street at the foot of Bowery Street, and has all the conveniences for taking good care of animals.

Few of those early settlers now remain to relate llhe story of their adventures, but their nmetory is revered in the heart. of their descendants to whonm they have bequeatlled the priceless legacy of their i tegrity and coturage.

The distinction belongs to Mr. Trombley of being one of the oldest surviving resident settlers of i'lllnks. He is the second in a family of five living c'lildren born to Joseph and Sophia Trombiley; his 'rothers David, Theodore and Joseph M. are represented by sketches elsewhere in this volume, as is also his father, who vwas one of the earliest settlers of Bay City. O(ur subject wash born in tlhe Old Center Iouse, on the corner of Twenty-fourth and Water Streets, Bay City, February 25, 1841. At the age of six years lie was taken by his parents to Banks where lie was reared atidl primitive surroundings. 'Tlle country arolund was sparsely settled by white people, while Indians were numerous and wild animals aboulnded in the dense forests. As might naturally le suplposed the school advantages offered our subject were very mneager, and froml his childhoodi he was (omlpelled to work for himself. ITe found etmployment on a farm during the stmmner seasons and at the age of thirteen began fishing for his father. lie remained at home, until lie was twenty-two when he commenced to fish ill partnership with his fatlher at EastSaginaw. lie was married iln Banks to Miss Mary Millikin, a native of Canada, and their family was gradually increased by the birth of seven children, as follows: Viola and Frances, both deceaesed; David, Prellia, Janmes, ('eorge and Butt. The famrily residence is an attractive one, and is located on tile corner of Solphia and Elm Streets in West Baly City. Mr. Trolmbley built the sailboat "()rphanled Boy," thirty-five feet, with a caacity of seven tons, and later began in butsiness as a butcher, conducting a shop for ten years. Ilis success would have been greater in tlhat tbsiness had lie not through his generous dislosition given credit to such an extent that the profits of the business were destroyed. He continued fishing for about thirty years, lut in 1887 entered into business as a flour and feed and produce merclhantt. Iis business establishment is located on tile corner of Sophia and Washington Streets, and through the exercise of sound common sense lie bids fair to attain to prosperity if not wealth. HIe sold his boat in 1890, and has transferetl his interests entirely to the land. A man of fine mental endowments and a clear intellect, Mr. Tromlbley is a pleasant companion and possesses unusual colloquial powers. He speaks French and understands solme of the Indian dialects which lie was accustomed to hear in boyhood.

His father, Hector A. McLean, and his mother, whose maiden name was Sarah Campbell, were natives of Scotland who came to America about the year 1830, settling near Manilla, where the father still resides at the very advanced age of eighty-six years and where the mother passed away in 1870. This worthy couple had ten children, one dauglihter and nine sons, and tlhe Captain was the seventh son in an unbroken line. All but two of this family are now living and two are living in Canada, one being a drover and one a lumberman at Toronto. One brother, l)uncan, carries ol merchandising at Saginaw. Capt. McLean remained at hlome until lie was fifteen years of age, and then clerked for his brother in Toronto in the wholesale clothing business, and in 1863 he went on the lakes as a sailor making his trips between C(hicago and Buffalo, and came to Saginaw in 1863. Ilis first Work here was as captain of a tug boat in tile river in the sumimer season, continuing in the work until 1872 and scaling logs in the winter. About that time this gentleman became agent for J. M. Valentine & Co., and continued with them until 1877 when he secured three barges and freight boats and undertook the transportation of freight in partnership with W. H. Bridges under the firmi name of McLean & Bridges. They have two tugs and seven lighters, two steamt barges and three tows and are also interested in a large number of boats. About half the trade from Saginaw is carried in vessels belonging to this firm and our subject gives personal attention to his business at the office. lie is now a prosperous man although he had no means when he came to Saginaw, and his efforts are always willingly given to helping build up the city and its interests. Our subject was married December 2, 1872 to Miss Bernice Passage, of Saginaw, whose father, Andrew, was an old settler here and for many years a lumber dealer. Their children are Andrew A., Jessie Alberta, and Jean, who are all at home. O()e child, tlie eldest boy, Andrew B., died at the age )f six years. (Capt.

()Our subject is proprietor. of the Bay City "Marine Ways," whicll is located at the foot of Galarno St., on the Saginaw River. IIe was born in Windsor, Canada, June 14. 1854, and is a son of Thomas and Lucy (Petramoulx) Galarno. At the time of our subject's birth the family was living in Windsor, Canada, remaining there for one year, a d in 1855 they came to the Saginaw Valley, settling first in Salzburg, now the Fifth Ward of West Bay City, their place of residence being on the old Campau farm. In 1856 Thomas Galarno built a home oni Woodside Avenue, one of the first in that locality, and the only one of those early places which is still standing. He bought considerable property in the vicinity, which he still owns and has made a subdivision which has brought him a handsome profit. He is a millwright by trade, and is a skilled workman. He still lives and is engaged with McEwan Bros. Our subject was graduated from the Bay City High School at the age of sixteen years, lie then learned the carpenter's trade under his father, and also the millwright business, continuing with himl until 1879. Ile then engaged in tlle grocery )business at the corner of Woodside Avenue andl BIelinda Street and wavs greatly pros)peredi there, carrying a full anld well-selected stock of goods and( having a good trade. lie sold it, hiowever, in 188-4, and since tlen ihas been variously engaged in lbusiness. Mr. Galarno was marrie(t November 11, 1878, to Miss Ellen Mclride, of Goderich. ()Ontario, Canadta. After disposing of his grocery, our sulbject )bought a tract of sixteen acres of land in thle city, and i made what is known as tile William Glalarno Addition to Bay City. For some time lel was engagled in disposing of this and otter real estate il the city, having also dealt considerably for other people. (Convinced that the port here ldemanded l t hbetter docking facility, and beli(eving hie saw a good piece of property for this purpose, he lpurchased iln,lune, 1890. It has a frontage of one hundred and eiglht feet, is six hundred feet deelp andll coil venielntly l,cated.

ICIIAEL HAGARTY, wlio is one of the oldest settlers of West Bay City, has a successful factory for thc manufacture of hoops at Kawkawlin. His partner is C..1 Smith and the firm title is M. ltagarty & Co. Our subject has resided in the valley since September, 1864, and there are not a half dozen citizens here now who were here when he came to West Bay City. He has done much to promote the upbuilding of this town, and his most successful business venture was the plotting of Hagarty's Addition to West Bay City, and although the lots were sold at a very low figure the transaction netted him a handsome profit. Our subject was born in the city of Limerick, Ireland, July 11, 1834, and his father, Patrick, was in the employ of a wholesale dry goods house there. In 1843 he brought to America his family, consisting of his wife and five children, making his first home in Kingston, where he remained until about 1851. Thence he removed to Peterboro, where he was grain buyer and pork packer during the remainder of his days. Ilis death was caused by a railroad accident, he being run over by a locomotive which cut off both his lower limbs. His wife, Margaret Bristol, was born in Ireland and still makes her home in Peterboro. Of her six children five grew to maturity and are still living.

Y(UNG, one of the most influential business men of Bay City, is Treasurer of the Michigan Log Towing Company, Vice-President of the Bay City Brewing Company, President and Manlager of the Young Transportation Company, and member of the firm of Young Bros. & Co., coal and wood dealers. lie is a thorough business man, and his fine lphysitque and commanding appearance as well as genial nature, make him a universal favorite. Mr. Young was born in Albany, N. Y., September 25, 1855, and there resided until 1870. lis father, George Young, was born in Scotland, and came to this country at the age of twelve, locating iln Albany, and there engaging as a clerk in the grocery line, into which lie afterward entered independently, becoming a wllolesale and( retail merchant. In 1870 he brought his family to Bay City, and here organized and becamre the Vice-President of the Bay City Bank, in which he continued until his death. His widow, who still resides here, became the mother of four children, of whom our subject is the youngest. She was born in Betllehem, near Albany, and her maiden name was Annie MoCormick. The common schools and academy of Albany furnished the education of our subject until lie was removed to this city, where he attended the Iigh School, and at the age of eighteen began clerking in the Bay City Bank, where lie remained for five years. The brewing business was begun by him in 1877, under the firm name of C. E. Young & Co., and they bought out the.firm of Van Meter & Co., and built up their present successful business from a small beginning. In 1884 the business was incorporated under the name of the Bay City Brew ilg ComErpany, and was enlarged so that they )now occupy an entire block, and have thle largest business of this kind inl tlhe Saginaw Valley. l'Prior to this time Mr. Youngr engaged lquite largely in opera.ting vessels on the lakes, and still has an inteiest inl that line. In MJarch, 1891, lie organized the Young Transplortationl ('ompan., and iln 1)ecember, 1890, started the Michigan,Log 'owing Company.

To know that Mr. Krupp, of Saginaw, is sulch a man one needs but to study the beautiful works of his studio, comparing his artistic )portraits with the faces thtus delineated. An artist by nature, Mr. Krtpp has from childhood devoted his energies to the study and portrayal of rhumlan bearuty, and his reward has largely been in the satisfaction of his artistic ideal.

Louis Liskow was but two years of age when brought to this place, but lhe remembers when the Indians used to come and beg to be har/lbored for the night, throwing themselve.s onl the floor of the log house by the fireplace. There were only six or eight families west of the Tittabawassee River, and the stillness of the night was often broken by the howl of wolves, and their growing crops h.ad to be carefully watched from the incursions of the deer. He attended school in a log schoolhouse aind had the advantage of six months'training in tlhe city. Duri'ng boyhood he was engaged in work onl the farm and in the brickyard,and at the age of twenty years he went into a general merchandise store, which was run under the name of J. G. Liskow & Sons.

Knopfel, Treasurer; and it includes among its directors and stockholders many of the most prominent men in this vicinity. George W. Ames was born in Albion, N. Y., October 31, 1852, and is a son of George C. and Sarah (Howell) Ames. His father still lives and is engaged in the mercantile business. Mr. Ames was educated in the public schools of Erie, Pa., but his desire to follow railroading was so strong that at the age of sixteen he secured a position as news agent on the Philadelphia & Eric Railroad, and at the age of seventeen accepted a position as brakeman on the Erie & Pittsburg Railroad, his run being fromAlleghany City to Sharpsville, Pa. In 1870 he came to Detroit and secured a position as brakeman with the Detroit, Lansing & lake Michigan Railroad (now the Detroit, lansing Ai Northern) and (ctober 4, 1872 was transferred to the Detroit & Bay City Railroad, then under the same management. Thle Michigan Central Railfoad shortly afterwards pulrchased the road, under whose management he remained until May 14, 1888, during which time lie held the position as passenger conductor for twelve vears, the last six years his run being from Bay City to Mackinaw. Believing the road to wealth was through the acquirement of real estate, lMr. Ames, in 1874 commenced to buy and sell property, and through agents in l)etroit, Chicago and Bay City, lie has been successful. Within three weeks from the time of severing his connection with the Michigan Central Railroad he opened the oflices which lihe now occupies, and that he h:as made his business a success in every particular is vouched for by the fact that he has had charge of most of tile large real estate transactions made in the city and county since Jnne 1, 1888. Within the past three years Mr. Ames has built a number of modern louses costing from *1,200 to $7,000, the last one completed being his elegant residence at No. 1908 Center Avenue. Ile has large property interests in Detroit, Chicago, Bay City and West Bay City. and is tle sole owner of seventy-seven acres of hand at Topinabcc, which is located on Mullet Lake seventeen miles south,f (Cheboygan, Mich., and on the line of the inlland steamboat line which rIuns between Petoskey and Mackinaw. It is also on the line of thle Michiganl (entral Railroad which has four express trains daily. Topinabee contains a number of pretty cottages, first-class hotels, post-office, telegraph office, express office etc. The property ownled by Mr. Ames is platted and attractively laid out, most of it being on a terrace thirty feet above the level of the lake. Topinabee is rapidly coming to the front as one of the most desirable places in northern Michigan at which to spend the summer months. Mr. Ames has resided in Bay City since May 1, 1874, and his home is presided over by his estimuable wife, Jennie A., daughter of Guy El. 'Thompson. Mr. Ames is a member of Joppa Lodge, No. 31;5, Blanchard Chapter No. 59, Bay City C(omrnandery No. 26, Knights of Pythias No. 23, 1niformed Rank, St. (Georges Society, Bay City Club and Bay (Ciy Business AMen's Association. /m, RS.

In seeking for a location in which to begin the practice of his profession he naturally turned toward his home State, and began to practice at Port Huron, remaining there one and a half years. While there he published the first German newspaper of that city-the Port Hiuron Herald. I t was his maiden effort in journalism, and, although he was only twenty-one years of age and the paper was obliged to struggle desperately for a financial existence, it proved a literary success, and our subject began to find his reputation as a medical man eclipsed by his reputation as a journalist. Jealous of his medical honors lie sold his paper and removed to East Saginaw, in 1887. Our subject pursued his calling diligently until 1889, when he was elected President of the Board of education at Saginaw. Ilis term expired in July, 1891. During his term of office he was the youngest member of the Board, but lie was instrumental in obtaining many advantages for the city. The same year he was also appointed lIealth (Officer of the city and in 1889 lie was elected at l)etroit Supreme Medical Examinler of nilted Friends of Michigan, a frater'ial benelit society, a position of honor and responsibility.

I e ldoes not disregard any of the advantages to te derived from membership with medical associati(ons, and is most actively connected with tihe State Medical Association. lle is a member of the staff of St. Mary's Hospital, and also a member of the staff of Bliss Hospital. Dr. Edelnann was united in marriage, May 28, 1889, at Port Huron, to Miss Amelia, daughter of John C. Kaumeier, a prominent contractor. In their church relations he and his wife are con nected with St. John's luther n Clurch. While in tile discharge of his public duties, the i)octor succeeded in effecting tile abolishment of surface wells on school property and also in insisting on the introduction of filters in school and the requiremlent of a health officer's certificate before a child, having suffered from contagious disease, could recommence attendance at school.

In 1888 he withdrew from active participation in the lumber business on account of failing health. From its first organization until May,.1891, he was Secretary and Treasurer of the Saginaw, Tuscola and Huron' Railroad, and upon resigning that position was elected Vice-President. The first wife of Mr. Judd died leaving no children. Our subject was afterward united with Virginia, daughter of 1)r. Lucius Liley, of Moravia, N. Y., and they have two sons, Clarence L., who is Cashier of the First National Bank; and Flrank It. who is a member of the firm of Gilbert & Judd, dealers in real estate. ()Our subject has been President of the lBoard of Public Works and also a member. of the Sewer Board. In politics he is a stanch Republican. Iis career furnishes an excellent example for the young, as he conmmenced in business with no means and has attained his handsome fortune without help from any source. As a business man he is held in high esteem and has been largely instrumental in promoting the lest interests of Saginaw. The lithographic portrait of Mr. Judd accompanies this sketch of his life. lAMbES E.

At present he owns and operates an extensive business, the Standard Machine Works, foundry and brass foundry, also a wood work plant situated at Twenty-sixth and South Water Streets, which occupies fourteen lots and alleys and employs sixty-five men and the pay roll aggregates $750 per week. The total output of 1891 aggregated $120,000. Mr. Garland married Miss S. L. Vradenburg, of Durand, Wis., and one child has been granted to them-Harrison W. In his political affiliations Mr. Garland is in thorough sympathy with the Republican party, and never fails to cast his ballot for its candidates. His life has been a busy one and his private enterprises have called for his closest attention, nevertheless he finds time to listen to the appeals of those in distress and is a generous supporter of all worthy measures. ' ' -* S l~ En 1, E!. OBDERT S. WILEY is a p1ractical horseshoer and general blacksmith, doing a good business in his special line at No. 314 ' North Hamilton Street. He was born at Lewiston, Niagara County, N. Y., November 17. 1833. He is the son of Jacob and Margaret (Stahl) Wiley, the former a native of New York and of Scoth ancestry, while tle mother was born in Pennsylvania and comes of good old Dutch parents. Jacob Wiley was a blacksmith by occupation, and when our subject was a mere lad removed to Niagara, Canada. When Robert was thirteen years old he began to learn the trade of a blacksmith from his brother-in-law, and was thus occupied until he was twenty years of age. He had then syfficiently mastered the trade to enable him to start out as a journeyman blacksmith, traveling through various towns in Canada for tile succeeding five years, and when ready to establish in business on his own account settled at Aylmer, Ontario, where he remained for six years or until thle spring of 1864, when lie came to Saginaw. After working for a few nonths for Abraham Iughes, he opelled a blacksmith slhop for himself at the corner of Niagara and Mackinaw Streets, Saginaw, and has been engagedi in that line of business ever since. Soon after locating in Saginaw our subject became identified with the Fire Department, and in 1889 was made Chief of the department. lie continued to occupy that position until 1885, when lie felt that lie was entitled to a little respite from duty, but in 1889 he was again chosenl as Chief, his services having been such tllhtt the City Council urged him to again accept the duties of oflice, an( lie conltinued the inciumbent of that position until the consolidation of the two Saginaws. In its infancy the department was depenldent ulpon the services of volunlteers, but Chief Wiley succeeded in placilng it upon a "pay" 'basis, and as finances would permit, made such imprllovcmenlts as lie thought best. IMr. Wiley was instrlimentlleal ill erecting the lpresent Fire Departmlenlt liose. Witl a primiary force of but six men, lie drilled them into a coiiditiolln f such thorolughness, alacrity and skill th.it, when accommodations were added, tlhe fore' became noted throtuglhor t lMicliganl. ('hief Wiley gave his personal and uindivided.attelltionI to the perfect organlization of tlie force, ill tle lcanstime his private affairs suffering greatly by his neglect. Mr. Wiley hads clear and well-defined idelas as to the needs of tile deplartmenst, rand msade protective and life-saving appnlialnces a thorotugh studly. While he held tenaciously to tlle adop)tionl of the most advanced miethods ulsed in fire departmenlts in other cities, and was a strict disciplinarian, yet the people recognized his absility to manage affairs, and his mein csonformed to his requirements without a murl'Iur. Our subject is a stanch Il)mocr.t alnd for years has been an active worker a(snd politician in that party.

Fortunate is the boy who when thrown upon his own resources has the skill to do and the strength to endure until he acquires a footing among men; and more favored is he who unites with his manual skill and bodily strength the moral principles and self-respect that combine with his financial success to win the esteem of those who know him. Such qualilications assisted Mr. Hine in gaining his envied position as an influential and prosperous citizen of Bay City. Through dint of unremitting industry lie has acquired a competency and is well known as tlie owner of tlhe large brick block on Washington Avenue, between Seventli and Eighth Streets, a part of which Mr. tline (ccupies with his wlolesale and retail meat busilness.

The subject of this sketch was born February 16, 1855 at Barrow, Somerset County, England and when seventeen years old came to this country, reaching America April 18, 1872. Ile worked for E. B. Dennison for four or five years and made his home on a farm in Kawkawlin Township for several years. Hle now has a farm of ten acres which lie has under good cultivation. Ills marriage which occurred November 17, 1880 united him with Ada, daughter of Freeman Curtis a resident of West Bay City. They have two children, Charles F., who was born October 23, 1881, and Myrta Elizabeth who came to them September 21, 1883. For three years he has been Supervisor of the township, and for three years prior to that time lhe was Township Clerk. Socially lie belongs to the Independent Order of Foresters. L1HT WESTFALL. We are pleased to here present a prominent agriculturist of (Che/ saning Township, who belongs to one of the old families of Revolutionary tiines and who has proved himself in every way worthy of his ancestry. Ile was born in Chemung County, N. Y., April 10, 1828, and is a son of Abrarn and Elizabeth (Westbrook) Westfall. The father was a native of Delaware County, N. Y.,and of Dutch descent. lie wis born in 1790 and served in the War of 1812. As early as 1850 he removed to Erie County, Ohio, with his large family. There were eleven children in this household. and our subject, who was the sixth in order of birth, left home at the age of ten and found employment elsewhere. Ile finally undertook to learn the blacksmith's trade withl a brother-in-law, but as that relative died very soon the boy was again thrown upon the world. After trying clerking our subject now found another opportunity to learn the blacksmith's trade and while thus employed received $40, $50, $60, and $100 during thle four years. Afterserving his tinme le worked only a short while at his trade and then went to railroading, beginning by oiling the engine and cars, and in ten years had arisen to the position of an engineer. lie was married. May 15, 1850, to Millie Van Gorder, of Elmira, N. Y.,where this lady was born, July 11, 1828. She is a daugihter of John and Sallie (Baldwin) Van (Gorder. who were of l)utch ancestry. 'lie Baldwins were pioneers in Chemrniig County, N. Y., iand wcre active in the Revolutionary War. After leaving the railroad IMr. Westfall removed to Lorain County, Ohio, and was employed upon a f rm for a year anid then went to Erie County, where lie lived until he enlisted inl Compl)any C, Fifty-fifth ()hio Infantry, joining the army January 7,1862. He was in the campaign of the Shenandoah Valley and was detailed from hi.s regiment to act as butcher for Gen. Sigel's cominand. Ile was taken sick and sent to Alexandria aind Georgetown, and after that took charge of the conmissary department at Fairfax ('ourthouse lunder Col. Saulsbury. At Thanksgiving time iMr. Westfall received a ninety-days' furlough, which lie spent witih his family, and upon his return joined the wagon train as lie was not able to follow butchering. lIe was thrown from a wagon and his right knee so badly injured that lie was sent to the hospitall at Washington just before the Gettysburg tight and remained there until September 23, 1863. when lie received his honorable discharge. The youn[g, man returned to his home in Erie County, Ohio, and as lie was unable to do hard work bought a liorse and wagon and peddled in Erie County and Sandusky City luntil the fall of 1861,when h, battle with many obstacles in improving his t'airm, lie has persevered with admirable courage:indl now Ihas reaped the fruit of his labors in tile lo( s-ession of a good estate which yields him a conlfortable income. While devoting himself closely to his personal work, lie finds time for publie duties and contributes his quota to the development of the community. IThe parents of our subject, John and Lizzie (Wonder) Pfund, were natives of Germany, born in 1801 and 1803 respectively and in their native land they were married and resided for many years. In 1852 they came to Michigan and settled in Monitor Township, Bay County, where Mr. Pfuntd lpurelhased sixty-three acres of land and began to operate as a farmer. The land was all wild and the father, with the aid of the children, set to work to clear it and make it a pleasant home for his family. His fialily was a large one, he and his wife having eleven children, eight of whom still survive. The parents attained to a good old age, arnd passed fronm earth in 1871 within three weeks of each other.

Now a prosperous farner residing on section 12, Frankenlust 'owinship, Hlay County, Mr. Manrir w:is at one time a resident of (Germany, where lhe was born August 15. 1839. He experienced little of the pleasures of home, for when only seven years old his mother died, and lie was forced when very young to earn his way in the world. In 1852 lie came to America with the family of a Mr. Scliwab, with whom lie remained until lie estallished a home of his own. A very implortantevent in his life was his marriage wlich occurred in 1860, his bride being Miss Barbara Foerster, a native of (ermany who had come to the Inited States in 1856 when she was thirteen years old. The following is the record of tile children born to Mr. and Mrs. Maurir: Annie died at the age of twenty-three years; Barbara passed from earth when only seventeen years of age; Maggie is the wife of Ienry Wegener, a farmler of Monitor Township, whose biograph)y all)ears elsewhere in this volume; Christina is the wife of Bernhard 'oss, and they live in Monitor Township; Augutsta remains with her parents; Michael, J.ohn, Andrew iand Lena also remain utnder the parental roof. Two children died in infancy.. M. Maurir started in life a poor orphan boy, and truly deserves the title of a "self-made" man, for what he now has he acluired by ceaseless work. lie is the owner of two hIndled and sixty acres, all of which is in good cultivation, and upon it he engages in mixed farming and stock-raising. The place has been embellished with a neat residence and substantial outbuildings, while the soil is fertile and yields large harvests to repay the toil of the husbandman. The political affairs of our nation receive due attention from Mr. Maurir, who retains as much interest in the moral status of the country as though he were a native of the I'nited States. tlis political preference is for the )emocratric party, the pinciples of which lie believes will most surely promote our individual welfare. At one time he served as Roadmaster of Frankenlust Township, iand has also ably discharged the duties of minor otlices. His religious belief brings him into fellowshli with the Evangelical lutheran Church in Frankenltist, of which lie has long been an active member. lie has been the interested witness of many changes in the county since lie came here. Where once Indians and wild animals roaned at will, now are cultivated farms and bustling cities, and this pleasant result is due in no small measure to the efforts of Mr. Mauarir. I HRISTIAN VO()SS. Through various parts ( of cosmiopolitan America is illustrated how '_ clannish man is by nature. The French usually find settlement in clusters in certain portions of the country. The (Ieriranls dot tile country over by li'tle colonies. alld other peoples likewise. Monlitor Township, Bay (iounty, is occupied chiefly by the German element, and its fertile farms are characterized by the perfection of cultivation which that people always bring to bear in their work. Mr. Vose is a resident on section 36 of Monitor Township. Ile was born in Hanover, Gernimany, May 21. 1824, and came to this cotutrl in 1850). After landing in New York oulr subject at once proceeded to this State and county and took forty acres of wild land from the Government, which was indeed uncultivated, virgin forest still covering valley and hill. lie was one of a colony who set out from their land together with the intention of making themselves hiomes iunder the new conditions of life in America. Mr. Voss is a soil of \Mathias and Marie (Bonike) Voss. The last amed came to this country but died in 1852. ()ur subject was married to Sophia Fisherhaber in 1852. Their married life was of short duration, however, for Mrs. Voss was taken away in a few months, being a victim of that scourge which then visited so many of the people in this portion of the country —the cholera. February 28, 1853, oursubject married Margaretta Beier; she was a native of Germany, as was her husband. Of the eleven children that were born of this marriage three died in infancy. The eldest son, John, who was born in 1856, lives in this township; Anzel, the eldest daughter, is the wife of George Reif and resides PORTRAIT AND BIOGRAPHICAL RECORD. in Saginaw; Barbara is tile wife of Paul Lang; Augusta is the wife of Mike Arnold and lives in Saginaw County; Louise is the wife of Peter Pickle and lives in Frankenlust Township; Charlie, who married Barbara Sturrn, lives in Williams Township; Bernhard, who married Christiana Maurer June 28, 1891, resides in this vicinity; Christian is a student at the Lutheran College at Edison, Ill., and is fitting himself to be a teacher. Our subject purchased one hundred and sixty acres in Frankenlust Township and later acquired ninety acres in Monitor Township and eighty in Williams Township. lIe divided his land among his children, giving ninety acres to John; the eighty acres in Williams Township to Charles, forty acres to Bernhard and reserved fifteen acres in Frankenlust Township for himself. The home which the family occupy was built by Mr. Voss and the land is in a good state of cultivation. The family are all members of the Lutheran Church and Mr. Voss was himself one of the organizers of that church in Frankenlust Township and has ever been one of its principal supporters. l-e himself was educated in his native land. His children have all received the advantages to le derived from the public schools. Mr. Voss is a l)emocrat in his political preference and affiliation. 3EORGE SCHMIDT. Although this gentleman cannot be accounted one of the pionU eers of Bay County, he has worked energetically to aid in the development of the vast agricultural resources of this farming region. N.ow his place is among the most practical and enterprising farmers of Frankenlust Township, where he has a forty-acre farm on section 11. IHe possesses a fair share of energy, acumen and thrift, and these with other attributes have contributed to his success in life, as he is entirely a self-made man, having had no adventitious aids of birth or fortune, but what he has and what he is, he owes to his own exertions. His character is appreciated by his twighbors ho hold him in high esteem. The fther of oar subject, John C. Schmidt, was a native of Anspach, (ermany, tnd in his youtl served in the (lerinan army. Ile belonged to a company of seven families which emigrated to America in 1848, coming directly to Michigan and rowing down the bay until they' fomnd a good place to land. They established homes in tlle midst of a dense forest, which they imrmediatell began to clear and rendei habitable. Shortly after his arrival here Mr. Schmidt was united in marriage with Miss Eva Barbara Encer, who, like himself, was a native of (ermany and came over at the same time as lhe. Tlie young couple started out in life very poor, with almost nothing of this world's goods to call their own, but they had health and courage, a capital by no means to be despised. The little home which John C. Schmidt and his wife established was brightened by the presence of eight children, six of whom are now living. namely: Barbara, now the wife of' Michael Kernstock; Anna, who married Lewis Wegener, of Monitor Township; John, whose home is in Frankenlust Township; our subject, who is next in order of birth; and Christian, who resides il Williams Township. 'he parents are now deceased, the father passing away ill 1872 and the mother in 1874. The subject of this notice was born in Frankenlust Township, September 23, 1862, and passed his childhood in the pioneer home of his parents. Few incidents of an unusual order occurred in his boyhood, and undoubtedly the most important event in his life was his m'arriage, October 31, 1885, to Mrs. Jennie Wegener. who was born in Bay County, in March, 1864. ''hrec children have blessed the union of Mr. and Mrs. Schmidt-Catherine, who was born in 1886; Mary, in 1888; and Clara, in 189). Mir. Schmidt ever takes an active interest in local political affairs and is a I)emocrat in national issues. Although quite young his fellow-citizens recognize his abilities; they have elected him to the office of Treasurer of Frankenlust 'Townshiup. and lie is now in the second term of his service in this capacity. In tle Evalngelical Lutheran Church, of which his father was one of the organizers, lie finds his religious home and is an active worker.

The life and labors of this gentleman furnish a good illustration of what imay be accomplished by thrift and industry. Ile has by unremitting perseverance and attention to the details of business built up a comfortable home, which is not only attractive on the exterior but also cozy within. His homestead comprises two hundred and thirty-two acres oh section 1, Frankenlust Township, Bay County, and is well supplied with substantial farm buildings. The residence, a view of which appears on another page of this volume, was erected in 1853 by Mr. Goetz, the father-in-law of our subject, and the barns and other outbuildings have been built by Mr. Ilelinreich as occasion offered. The distinction belongs to Mr. Ilelmireich of having been the first white child born in the Township of Frankenlust. Ilis birth occurred January 1, 1849, and he is the son of John George and Anna Barbara Helmreich, natives of Germany and now residing in Frankenlust. Our subject in his youth took advantage of the meager opportunities given him for acquiring an education, and liaving been a close student of current events he is now a well-informed man and a pleasant conversationalist. Ile was iunited in marriage, lJly 2, 1875, with Miss Anna Barbara, the daughter of Andrew and Mary MIargaret (Goetz. Mrs. Iclmreich was born July 25. 1851, and was of (German ancestry, her father having been born in Blyrne, Germlany, November 25, 1813. In 1848, Andrew (;oetz emigrated from the Fatherland across the Atlantic to the Ilnited States, and landing ini New York after all uneventful voyage, lie proceeded directly to Michigan and settled in Frankenlust Township. In this township he was married a few montls after his arrival and here hie has ever since resided. The first settlemieut in Franikenllist Townslip was made bv seven families who sought homes here at the sam(e time, and Aindrew (Goetz with his family Ibelonged to that first group of settlers. The little comlpalny came hither when the country was an uninhabited wilderness, whose silence was broken only by the howling of wolves and the war wlloop of the savages. Embarking in a little boat at Saginaw tlhe company rowed down the river Iuntil they reached the place of the future settlement, and then went into the forest and began to cut away the trees to clear a place for their homes. Mr. Goetz at once took up twenty-three acres of land, which lie transformed into a comfortable abode with the aid of his children, of whom there were ten, now all deceased with the exception of Leonard, who resides in Monitor Township. The wife of our subject passed froml earth August 4, 1890, leaving her bereaved husband and children, as well as a large circle of friends to mourn her loss. Mr. and Mrs. lIelmreich had a family of five children, named respectively:.lohn Leonard, who was born inl 1876; Mary Barbara, 1877; George. 1880; Christina, 1884; and Augusta, 1886. 'The children still remain under the parental roof and are receiving good common-school educations as well as training in habits of industry and usefulness.

They were married in Buffalo, N. Y. The father was a baker by trade and followed the business in I)etroit, Ann Arbor and Saginaw, having come to Michigan shortly after marriage, when he and his young wife settled in Detroit. Our subject's father was very successful in business, his trade being one that is a necessity to all classes of people. He died at East Saginaw. Ilis wife still survives and is now a resident of the same town as is her son; she is sixty-three years old and still active and vigorous. She is the mother of four children, three of whom are now living, and whose names are Sopha, Mrs. La Biaii, of Wisconsin; Augustus, our subject, and (George, both of this place. William Barie, the father of our subject, was at soldier in the War of 1812. Politically he was a Whig, and in his religious inclination worshiped with the members of tlhe Lutheran Clhurch. lie like others of a restless and progressive tempelrament, sought social protection and recognition among the Masons. Augustus Barie was instructed in the three R's in Genesee County, this State. Ilis youthful days.were spent on a farm in Plymouth, Wayne County, and he devoted himself to agricultural pursuits until twenty-two years old, and for ten years after that time was in the lumiber usiness in Northern Michigan. Our subject came to Pinconning in IS80, and was for seven years engaged in the saloon business. This he gave up to assume the duties of, Postmaster, to which position lie had been appointed by President larrison, in 1888 and which he has since held. Our subject has always been one of the most enterprising citizens of this place, serving as Assessor from the first village election which was held here, and being a prominent member of the Village Board. IIis landed interests in the place are not small, and consequently if for no other reason it would be to his interest to work for the furtherance of whatever project or movement that promises to be to the advantage of this locality. Mr. Barie was married November 15, 1887, to Miss Maria A., daughter of John and Elizabeth Carelton, natives of Canad,, though now residents of Pinconning.

Frankenlust Township, Bay County, has no more worthy representative of its flourishing milling interests than the gentleman whose name introduces this sketch and who, since 1878, has been carrying on his trade at his present place of business. His mill is large and furnished with suitable machinery and has a capacity for turning out twenty barrels of flour per day, while the extensive trade which Mr. Pfannas has built up since first coming here extends beyond the limits of the township and brings him orders regularly from Bay City, West Bay City, and Saginaw. His customers have found him reliable and anxious to please, and the impression left by his courteous dealings with all with whom he comes in contact is a very agreeable one. Mr. Pfannas is numbered among the many residents of Bay County who emigrated hither from Germany, and although he is not an early settler of Frankenlust Township, he has for many years aided in its development. IHe was born in Byrne, Germany, March 18, 1846, and is the son of Lawrence and Elizabeth P. (Pfannas) Pfannas, both of whom lived and died in their native land. There our subject grew to manhood, studying in the public schools and learning the trade of a miller while still in his boyhood. Upon coming to America in 1872 he first settled in Chicago, where lie worked in an elevator for about eight months. Thence he removed to Detroit and after two or three months spent there in working at his trade he went to Salzburg, where he found employment in a sawmill. After spending eight months there he came to Frankenlust, where he has since resided. His marriage was celebrated in 1878, when Miss Anna Itect, of Frankenlulst Townshlip, became. his wife. Their two children are Barbln'.a, who was born in 1879 and John, whose birth occurred in 1882.

OUIS A. PELKEY. The village of Pinconning and the country in this vicinity is in _ no small degree indebted to our subject for its recent development. lie is a man who has opened up farms and has thoroughly improved everything to which he has set his hand. It is besides a good omen for a commnunity when a man of such sound and unbiased judlgment as has Mr. Pelkey shows his confidence in the resources in a section of country by investing all he has therein, and in giving to it his entire time and attention. Mr. Pelkey now holds the office of Township Clerk of Pincon ning. Our subject is a native of Sebewaing, Huron County, Mich., and was born October 20, 1840. He is a son of Antoin and Teresa (Laway) Pelkey, natives of Michigan. Oure subject's father was in early life engaged in trading with the Indians, buying furs, etc., in exchange for provisions and ammunition. They were the first settlers in Pinconning, taking up eighty acres of Government land in 1853. It took a pretty brave man at that time to come so far West, for the vast forests were full of wild animals that were not always friendly, and the privations were many. 'Tle principal, and in fact only industry at that time was the fishing business, in which our subject's father was engaged almost exclusively, shipping his catches to Bay City, thence to Toledo and other loints. IIe retired flom active business some four years before Ilis death, which took place in 1864, when lie wals at the age of seventy-five years; his wife survived him by several years, passing aw:y at the age of eighty-six years. They are interred in the cemet(ly at West Bat y City. )lur subject is one of a family of tel (children that were born to his parents. Only live of these aire now living, and they are: Mary, Mrs. WhitIne', our subject; Alexander, 'Teresa and Joseplh. Louis A. grew lup a sturdy and independent youth. as a life so free from social conventionalities would naturally make him. lie was educatted in Bay City and Detroit. and after coming to Pinconning he at once proclaimled himself a dominant mIan by beginning enterprises that stirred up the village. lie built the first hotel here and ran it successfully fromi 1873 until 1891. It was first known as the Pelkey House, but its name has been changed to the Michigan llouse. Mr. Pelkey has a very fine residence on Siecond Street of this village. Ile has been.Justice of the Peace for twelve years, aind holds that office now. lie was also Supervisor for twelve years. lland now\ holds the ofice above mentioned. As a Republican lie is always true to the colors of l is party, and his influence in this vicinity is worth much to tlhat body. Mr. Pelkey well deserves the title of being the mlost prominent mani in the town. )IIN WALZ, whose fine farlm is situated on section 8, Bangor Township, Bay (ounty, is a son of Chlristian and Barbara Walz, who were born and spent tlleir lives in (Germlany. This son came to America in 1865, and first settled near Fremont, Ohio, where lie lived for something over two years.

The former was a native of Lincolnshire, England, and was born November 6, 1810. lie came to America in 1837 and February 13, 1841, was married to our subject's mother. Their nuptials were solemnized in Oakland County, to which he had come on landing in this county. He at once engaged in farming, having been given eighty acres of land by his father-in-law. In 1851 our subject's father brought his family to Saginaw and there engaged in road building. Later he removed to Bay City and took a contract for laying out streets, and Center Street, which is now a very good and attractive thorouglifare, was built by him. te then returned to Saginaw and continued his road building and working at that for a number of years he removed to his farm on section 18, Monitor Township, where he settled down in 1862. The next year, however, he suffered the loss of his wife, and the place becoming distasteful to him he returned to Bay City. After remaining there a year and a half he again removed back to the farm. Our subject's father still lives on section 18, Monitor Township. He has cleared the land on the place and has made it a very desirable home. He and his wife were the parents of seven children, five of whom lived to attain years of majority. They were Elizabeth, Robert, Thomas, Rebecca and Burton.

ENRY R()OOAKERS. Although the far n of whicl this gentleman is the owner and proprietor is not so large as many estates in Bay County, he cultivates it so carefully that every acre is made to produce the greatest possible results. Close attention to the fertilizing of the soil, the proper rotation of crops, the study of the cereals best adapted to the soil, and otler points of importance in carrying on a farm, have all received his close study, and the result of this combined with industry and energy, has been the possession of one of the best-improved farms in the community. The fifty-six acres are divided and subdivided into fields of convenient size, while modern machinery and good buildings are to be found on the place. The residence is a neatt and comfortable abode, while the members of the family are numbered among the worthiest citizens of Hampton Township. Holland has sent many men and women to the United States, and these foreign-born citizens have often become closely identified with our forml of Government and adopted American ideas and opinions. The subject of our sketch belongs to this class of enterprising and successful citizens, who have sought homes in the New World. He was born May 3, 1830, in lHolland, and there grew to mature years. lie attended the schools of his native land and served five years in the army. In 1855 he came to America and at once located in Bay City, this State, where for two years he engaged in different pursuits and followed any honest occupation for a livelihood. By careful economy he was able, in 1857, to purchase his present farm and here the remaining years have been passed in close attention to the details of farm work. Ills life has been marked by no unusual events, but he has followed the peaceful tenor of his way, reta:iing his simplicity of ch:aracter and geniality of disposition. In all his enterprises Mr. Rooiakers has received the cheerful assistance of his wife, who, prior to her marriage to him in 18356, was known as Miss Theresa Rescoseare. She was born in Belgium and when quite young accompanied her mother to America, settling in Bay City. Five children have tbeen born to Mr. and Mrs. Rooiakers, but only one survives-Julia, the wife of 0. Van Poplin, of Ilamton Townvship. So far as is within the knowledge of Mr. Rooiakers, lie is the only meiber of his family who resides in the United States. lie is a consistent member of tile Roman Cattolic Church, and in his political belief is in thorough sympathy with the principles of the IRpubtlican party.

I ls estate is universally conceded to be one of the finest in tle community and comprises two hundred and forty acres of highly cultivated land, pleasantly located on Section 33. HIcre lie may usually be found engaged in actively tilling the soil or gathering in the harvests which prove conclusively his skill as a far.mer. While general farming principally engages his attention he also finds time to devote to stock-raising and is especially interested in horses and hogs. Tile parents of ouy subject, both of whom have passed from earth, bore tile names of I)aniel and Abigail (Dowe) Iluckius, and were born in New Hampshire, where the father operated as a farmer. Although they were able to give their eleven children few advantages they trained them to habits of industry and usefulness and prepared theln for honorable positions in life. Tle ten who grew to mature years are as follows: (alvin, whose home is New Hamlpshire; Sarah, the wife of Ezekiel Pike; Jonathan, Daniel, NathanlI, )avid, l)anies, IIosie. Abigail and Joselph I)., who forms the subject of this sketch, was born in Belmont County, N. II., August 4, 1828, and at an early age began to.aisist in farm work. When lie started out in the world for himself he found employment both in farming and lumbering. In 1851 Mr. Iluckins removed to Columbiana County, Ohio, where he engaged in railroad building and was foreman on the road. Two years I.trr lie ccntracted to furnish ties for the Cleveland & Mahoning Railroad and having filled this con tract, at tlhe expiration of one year lie came in the spring of 1854 to Bay City, this State. Here lie found employment in luilrbering and farming and such was his success that he felt able to establish ldomestic ties of his own in 1855, having choseni as his life companion Miss Delia Pierce, a native of New York State, alnd a daughter of Nathan and Polly Pierce. They have llad three children, but two only survive-Nellie, tlhe wife of W. L. Peck, of West Bay City, and Fred, who is station agent for tlle Michigan Central Railroad at Zilwaukie.

Jonathan and Louisa (Brown) Richardson, were both Virginians by birth, the former being born in 1783 and the latter about the year 1815, and she is still living and now makes her home in Cass County, this State. Our subject's paternal grandfather, John Richardson, was also a native of the Old Dominion and there made his home throughout life. The subject of this sketch came to Michigan in 1854 and remained for one year in Detroit, after which Ihe made his home in East Saginaw, which remained his residence until 1857, when lie located in what was then called Lower Saginaw but is now Bay City. He remained there, carrying on a news stand and restaurant until the spring of 1870, when he purchased the property which he now owns, consisting of forty-six acres of land which he has since placed under cultivation and brought to a high degree of productiveness. Mr. Richardson was married in 1859 to Mary Duclos, a native of Wisconsin, and their union was blessed by the birth of two children-Lucretia, who died in infancy, and Lamont, who makes his home with his parents. Mr. and Mrs. Richardson are members of the Baptist Church in Bay City, in which they occupy a wide field of influence. They were among the most active in establishing that church in Bay City and are helpful in every way in its religious and social movements. The doctrines and declarations of the Republican party receive the hearty endorsement of our subject, who has strong faith that under the leadership of Republican statesmen and guided by Republican principles our country will yet attain a much higher degree of prosperity than it has yet seen. \. +~ ~/~ - — + - DAM J.

In matters of charity Mr. and Mrs. Hay were always of one mind and heeded the Scriptural injunction "let not thy right hand know what thy left hand doeth," but many a heart has btene made glad through their quiet and unostentatiotni beneficence. J OHN NEUMEYElR. The record of ttis gentleman as an agriculturist and as a citizen reflects great credit upon his adopted township. As a man of genuine public spirit lie interests himself in everything that will in any way promote its welfare, and contributes liberally toward all plans for improvement. Although lihe i3 deeply interested in public affairs, he finlds his chief enjoyment in the development of his farm,.lichl is locatedl on section 12, Frankenlust Towin ship. Bay County. To the cultivation of this sixty-acre farm he hbrings thp qualities of thrift and lprudence which characterize the (erman nation, and by tle exercise of frugality and good judgment has become well-to-do. The agriculturallE element of MAichigan has received constant additions from (Germany during the past half century, and among those who came hither in 1853 was John Jacob Neumeyer, the father of our subject, who emigrated to this country with his family and settled in Frankenlust Towinship. lie was at that time well advaniced in years, having been born in 1796, in Germany. where lie was married to Miss Madeline Bruner and where lhe also served seven years in the German army. Of his four children, the eldest is the subject of this biographical notice. 'rhe others are Christopher, a resident of Fltrankenlust Township; Martin, whose home is also in that township; Annie Maggie, the widow of Frederick Keith, fornierly a farmer of Salzbulrg. Germany was the native l)lace of Mr. Neulieyer and he was born l)ecember 23, 1829. lie remained in Ihat country twenty-four years, but at the time of his father's removal to the New World in 1853, he also came hither and sought a home amid the less populous cities of the West. His filst experience of' the halrdships of pioneer existence was gained in Frankenlust T'ownship, which was at the time of his location therein, a sparsely settled locality. After working alone several years in Bay Colunty, Mr. Neumeyer was married l)ecember 7, 1858, to Miss Barbara Maggie Zill, who was born in Germany and came to America during the same year as Mr. Neumeyer. Six children have been born to Mr. and Mrs. Neumeyer, four of whom are still living, namely: George, who is married and resides in Bay City; August, also married and a resident of Saginaw County; Barbara, who is at home; and Christopher, who also remains under tihe parental roof. Maggie, Mrs. George Schwab, died in 1883, and Margaret, who was united in marria:ge with George Schwab, died in 1891.

Our subject is a native of this county and township, his father, John Gotlieb Lang, having come to Bay County from Germany in 1851. He was born in the Fatherland March 6, 1821, and there married Annie Mary Schenkner. On settling in this vicinity the young couple found the country entirely covered with heavy timber, the people comparatively few in numbers, and the state of society very unsettled. They sturdily set themselves, however, to making the best of what they felt would ultimately be to the advantage of them and their family. Our subject's father at first purchased forty acres of land; he afterward added thirty-two acres and this afforded plenty of work for him and his son, our subject, who was here born, January 27, 1857. The only other child in the family is a daughter, Maggie, who is now the wife of John Baehm and resides in this vicinity. The parents are still living and make their home on the place which they first purchased on coming to this State. Our subject, who resides on section 31, Monitor Township;was married April 9, 1880, to Barbara Voss, whose parents, like his own, are natives of the Fatherland. Their union has been blessed by the advent of two children; of these John is the elder, born March 11, 1883; the younger is Annie, whose natal day was May 9, 1885. Our subject's father was one of the earliest settlers in this township, and George Lang understands thoroughly the meaning of pioneer life, having assisted his father with some of the most difficult tasks of clearing. The family, both parents and son, are members of the Lutheran Church. Our subjet tia Republican in his political pref0' v-v erence.

He has one hundred and fifty-two acres of land which are under excellent cultivation. Seventy-two acres are on section 31 and eighty on section 36. Mr. Lang is a general farmer, devoting the greater portion of his attention to that business which has always proved to be the farmer's hope in time of failure of crops-that of stock-raising. His farm is well improved and bears evidence of careful and thorough management. j NTHONY J. KERN. A resident of Williams Township, Bay County, where he owns a line farm on section 35, our subject is the son of (I'orge and Mary Ann Kern. The former was born in Bavaria, Germany, in the year 1805. He came to this county about the year 1834 and located in Pennsylvania; lie afterward however, came to Detroit where he was married. The young couple made that their hlo-nc for about four years and then took up eighty acres of land eleven miles northeast of Detroit. That proved to be his home until the time of his demise, which occurred in 1857. Anthony J. Kern was born April 27, 1843, at Roseville, Macomb County, this State. He remained on the old homestead until seventeen years old and then went to Detroit where he engaged in the brewery business for four years. lie then went to Pennsylvania and after a stay of one year returned to the old homestead in the Wolverine State and assisted his father with the work of the farm for two years. In 1869 he came to Williams Township and bought one hundred and sixty acres of woodland. Hle has since sold eighty acres of this tract and of the remaining eighty about fifty acres are cleared. In early manhood our subject learned the carpenter's trade and has devoted a great deal of time to that business. In 1867 he was married to Amelia Wolf, who is a native of New York.

He was of English descent, but during the War of 1812, served his country gallantly. Our subject's father was a carpenter, and was engaged in contracting and building in the city of Buffalo. Later lie was employed in manufacturing imachines for wood-work, in which lie was a fine worker. Ills decease occurred in 1875. Politically he was a Republican, and in his church views a Methodist.

No one need be surprised when a native of Scotland turns up in any j part of the world, in any capacity or disguise. The Scotch are not clannish when away from their native land, but mingle witl the people with whom they cast in their lots. They make no great show in the tables of emigration, but are everywhere. Talk about Scotchmen and one of them is sure to be within sound of your voice. Wherever energy and shrewdness can be turned into money there you will find a Scotchman. No one need be surprised, therefore, at the statement that the late Peter Smith, of West Bay (ity, was a native of Scotland. lie came to Canada with his parents when a child, and there remained until 1836, when lie came to Port Huron, Mich. There, in 1838, he was married to Miss Sarah Cross, of that city, and four years later moved to St. Clair, Mich., which was his home for the next twelve years. During all these years lie followed his occupation-that of a millwright-and built several mills on the St. Clair River. In 1854 Mr. Smith first came to tlat part of Saginaw County which is now Bay County, and built a sawmill at Bangor, now the First Ward of West Bay City. Of that mill lie was part proprietor, the style of the firm being Moore, Smith & Vose, subsequently changed to Moore & Smith, and still later, by the purchase of Mr. Moore's interest, to Peter Smith & Sons.

We are pleased to present here a life sketch of a man who is a worthy representative of an honorable family. It is no light thing to be able to claim descent from men of character and hnfluence, hut all this is of small account if it is the empty boast of one who has failed to emulate the example of his forefathers. We find in Dr. Lloyd one who can rightfully claim the honor both of descent and of true inheritance of noble and manly qualities. One of his name and blood was a signer of the Declaration of Independence and (thers took part with Washington in the conflict for American independence. lie himself is a physician of ability and skill and a companion and neighbor of geni:ll and friendly nature. This physician of West Bay City, whose office is located at No. 901 Washington Street, was born near Toronto, in York County, Canada, October 3, 1855. His father, IMurdock Lloyd, was horn in Pennsylvania and his grandfather William was a native of Philadelphia and a merchant. 'The family can trace back its ancestry to Robert Lloyd who came from Wales with two brothers and settled in Philadelphia. (One of his descendants signed the l)eelaration (c f Independence and took a prominent pl t in that momentous struggle for liberty. Williaim Lloyd removed to (anada in the early days with five brothers and all bought farmns near Toronto, and also engaged i nmercantile( business and there found iroslperity. ''lie father of our subject was also a farmer and owned three different farming tracts. His land was well improved and very productive and he was in all things an excellenit manager and financier, and was a prominent and influential man in his county, being a member of thle County Coluncil and like all the Lloyds of that section lie waS I reformer. lis life was cut off while still comlaratively young, as lie died at the age of forty-two in 1866. lie was a member of the Methodist Episcolpal Church. The mother of our subject was (lharlotte, daughller >f' Ihe Rev. Peter Storey, andl was born ii Canada:. Her father was a native of 3Ianchester, England, and came to Canada, where lie farmed and also served the Methodist Episcopal Church as a minister. The mother of our subject still resides in Brampton, Canada. Five of helr children grew to maturity and three are still living. The brother and sisters of our subject are: Louisa, deceased; Susan, who married Mr. Malthew; Ada, deceased; and Simeon, wlo is a druggist at Fostoria, Mii. The childhood of our subject was passed upon the farm ill attendance upon the common schools and in home duties and at the age of fourteen he elltered the private normal sclool at Aurora, remainilng there until lie was able to pass the examination and matriculation at the medical college. Previous to entering the college lie studied medicine under 1)r. Scott. of Newmarket and finally graduated at tle Toronto School of Medicine in 1879 with the degree of Doctor of Miedicine. His first practice was for one year with D1r. Scott, at Newmarket, and in 1880 he came to Ilichligan, locating first in Otter lake, Lapeer PORTRAIT AND BIOGRAPHiCAL RECORD.40 401 C'ounitty.

OSEPHl.ULE LACROIX. This practical pharmacist is an enterprising young man, and promises to make his mark and a bright one in the world. I-e is also the manager of the estate of IIubert Carrier, and proprietor and patentee of the LaCroix Compound Syrup of 1Red Pine and Spruce Gum. This capable young man was born at St. Mary's, Canada, July 10, 1866, and is a son of Prof. Peter LaCroix. who was born in Vaudreuil, Canada. Grandfather LaCroix was born in Paris, France, and came with his parents to Canada when only six years old, locating near Quebec, where lie carried on a farm. The father of our subject was a graduate of a college of Rigaud, and there studied the classics and theology.

Various social orders claim this gentleman as one of their noteworthy members, among which are the Free and Accepted Masons, the Royal Arch Masons the Council and the Royal Arcanum, also National Union, Royal League, and the Ancient Order of United Workmen. He is a Republican in his political views and casts his vote with that party. G EORGE L. WILTON, a member of the firm of George L. Wilton & Co., one of the stirring business men of West Bay City, is carrying on a profitable business at No. 713 Midland Street, where they have a full stock of books, stationery and wall paper. He is also city ticket agent for the Michigan Central Railroad at West Bay City. Mr. Wilton was born in Sherborne, 1)orsetshire, England, March 17, 1854. The parents of Mr. Wilton were Joseph and Elizabeth (King) Wilton, natives of Sherborne, England. He of whom we write received an excellent education in his native land and when eighteen years of age set sail on the vessel "Scandinavia," and after a voyage of ten days landed in Canada, where he located in Hamilton and was engaged in the office of Carter & Todd, grain and commission merchants,as cashier. Two years later he came to Pinconning, Bay County, in the interest of Van Etten, Kaiser &Co., having charge of the store and supply department for four years. At the expiration of that time lie went to St. Paul, Minn., and remained for two years, when he came to Bay City and was employed with George H. Van Etten. The gentleman of whom we writet in 1879 went to West Branch, this State, where he was engaged as manager of the West Branch House. After a short time he severed his connection with that hotel and became proprietor of the Wells House in West Bay City, which lie operated for two years. Then, in partnership with Lewis Potter, lie purchased the Abrarm House in Lapeer, but disposed of it a twelvemonth later, when iMr. Wilton again located iln West Bay City and for two years was ai emploey of the Michigan Central Railroad. On engaging in his present business our subject, together with William i. Phillips, bought out II. H. Aplin, whose place of business was located on Linn Street.

UIntil recently he lias been agent for the American Express Comlpany of West Bay City, but his business lias so greatly increased that he was obliged to relinquish the duties which devolved upon him as agent. His is the only stationery and book store on the west side. Mary Potter became the wife of Mr.Wilton, February 23, 1882. Mrs. Wilton is the daughter of Lewis Potter, who is now in business at lapleer. Of that union two children have been born-Roy and Eva. Socially, Mr. Wilton is a member of Wenona lodge, F. & A.

Malny /of the prominent citizens of Michigan are of foreign birth, yet are men who have become thoroughly Americanized in life and spirit and feel a warm and loyal interest in their adopted home. Such men do as much by success in their professions and callings as native-born Americans in helping to establish the reputation of the Commonwealth which has become their home. Such a man we have in Dr. Cunningham, who is among the oldest of the prominent physicians of the Saginaw Valley, having located for practice in the spring of 1872, at Vassar when that was quite a new town and the center of a young but growing community.

IIe hired hIimself to a farmer, with whom he lived for twelve years, serving him faitlfully and receiving the approbation of all wlio knew hlilim. I)uring thiis period of his life Mr. McGregor met Mairgaret, daughlter of Alexander Reid, with whoul lie wa.s united in miarriage, July 23, 1839. Four of their children are still living, namely: John, who married Atrissa Simmons and resides in Tittabawassec Township; Grace, whlo with her husband, (Charles Foote, and her three children, Amelia, Charles and CGuxy, resides witll her father and takes elmirge of his lhousehold; Margaret, who married EIldin 3Munger and resides in Tittabawassee Townshit; anid Jane, who is the wife of Benjamin V.

''lle dark iangel of death visited this happy hlousehold in Septemnber, 1870, taking from it the faithful and beloved wife and mother, and the son C'artles, both of whomi died of that dread disease, typhoid fever. Since tiat time the daughter Grace has been thie home maker for her bereaved father. ('Charles left a widow, whose maiden name was Rlioda (hulrchill, and one daughter. In 1876 the daughiter. Marjory, who had married Darius Vrasbilder, died at her home in Nebraska. Whitla ti citizen of Scotland Mr. McGregor was oplposed to the Tory party. He lived for seven years in this State before voting, but now espouses the pirinciples and policy of the Republican party. IMr. IMctregor belongs to the Congregational ('litrch of Freeland, and his son,John to the Adven tists. In his childhood he was one of a family of ten children, but only one of these ever came to America, and that was his brother John, who .424 PORTRAIT AND BIOGRAPIIICAL RECORD. came hither in 1832. A visit to thc home of his boyhood days was made by Mr. AMcGregor ill June, 1871. He remained abroad for six months and then returned to his adopted country, fully satisfied that he had been wise in choosing the New World as the scene of his life work. The attention of the reader is invited to the lithographic portraits of Mr. and Mrs. McGregor, and also to the view of their beautiful home. which they have gained by unremitting and ardulous exertions.

He was commissioned as Recruiting Surgeon, and at the close of the conflict remained in the service of the Government for nineteen years as Pension Surgeon. He exchanged his Midland property for a large farm five miles'east of Flint, in Genesee County, to- regain his health, and tilled the soil for five years in that place. Selling his place lie removed to the city of Flint, and began his practice and after one year's time removed to Clinton County, being there but one year when he went to Gratiot County, stopping at Bannister and establlishing himself in the d(rulg business, again resumed his practice.

In 1883 Mr. IHoughton came, in company with Mr. Perkins, to Bay City and established a coinmission business. In this they were eminently successful and have now a large and extensive trade in fruits and produce. Their establishment covers a space of one hundred feet square at Nos. 613 and 615 Washington Avenue. Their business is carried on with judgment and enterprise, and as each fruit and vegetable appears in its season it is sccured by them in large quantities for the benefit of their customers. Not only does this firm make a large business of handling vegetables and fruit but they also deal in large 'quantities in flour anld meat and ship and pack oysters in large quantities. 'heir slipments are matde principally to the north and east of Bay City and the customers whom they h:ve gained in this part of the country feel that in dealing with this firm they are enabled to do well for thesmselves and well for those whom they would serve. Tle Republican party cosmmands tlhe vote and influence of this gentleman although he is too Lbusy a man to take an active part in politics. i "RANK L. BATEMAN. The firm of Bateman & Fox, of which this gentleman is senior partner, is the most extensive house engaged in the manufacture of cigars in Bay City. It carries a large stock and manufactures a large annual product, doing an extensive business and occupying a conspicuous position commercially. Mr. Batenan was born iln Dansville, N. Y., September 9, 1850, and is a son of S. L. Bateman, whose father was a New Yorker of English descent. S. L Bateman was a practical mechanic and pattern maker, who located in Dansville and there carried on business. lie took part in tle Patriot War (refer to the history of the Canadian War), and in 1866 he located in Coruntsa, Shiawassee County, Mich., where he engaged in pattern making, and the following year removed to Owosso, where lie resid(d until his death in November, 1879, when he was sixty-eight years old. His wife was (atherine, daughter of James Coffee, and was born in Bucks County, Pla.; there her father was a farnmer before he located in Dansville, where lie died. She is now in her seventy-third year and resides with our subject. Her family consisted of five sons land three daughters. Frank L,ouis Batemnan had his early training and education in i)ansville, attending tle colmmnon school and semlin'alry there, and at the age of sixteen came to Corunna, where lie worked at odd jobs and soon entered tie employ of tlie Detroit, Grand Haveln & Milwaukee:Railroad, and( later the Michiganl Central, with headquarters in Detroit, and in 1870( chaine to Bay City, where lie continued with tile Michligan (Cenltral Railroad and worked his way pl) from the position of brakeman on the passenger train to passenger conductor, in which position lie cworked for two years, ru nning between Bay City and Mackinaw, witil headquarters here. His record ill this capacity is a fine one, as lie never iad an accident with hIis train nor ever a man hurt upon it. Ill health caused Mr. Bateman to resign his railroad work in 1882, and for some four years he was a sufferer but has now recovered his health. About that time he bought out Mr. Beebe, of the cigar manufacturing firmi of Beebe & Bradock, a company which hadl st:tted some years previous to his takinig asn interest in it. Tle firm ioperated under thle title of Bradock & Bateman until 1885, when (eorge Il. Keating joined' the enterprise and continued therein until July, 1889, when Mr. Fox entered the lirl, which is now known as Bateman & Fox, as Mr. Bradock sold his interest to the new-coiner. This firm has gradually grown frorn a small concern to tile largest in the city, and employs from twenty-five to forty skilled workmen, all of whom are uInder tie superintendence of Mr. Bateman. The annual prodiuct amounts to over one million cigars, exclusive of those manufactured to their order in Eastern establishments, which aggregate five millions per year, of the best quality and nmake.

Bavaria, (;ermany, is the place of nativity of the (entleman whose biography we here briefly record, and the date thereof was D)eceilber 9,1821. tIe remained in his native Germany until 1854, when, hearing so much of this Westeln country, he decided to cast his lot with the inhabitants of the Wolverine State. He was a farmer in his native country, and upon landing in New York, which lie did in June, 1854, he came directly to Michigan, and remained for three months in the City of the Straits. Desiring, however, to make a permanent settlement and not being entirely satisfied with the prospects held out to him in Detroit, lie came to the Saginaw Valley, and located in Buena Vista Township, on section 29. on which property he has since made his home. Our subjeQt's iarriage took place under rather novel circumstances, as he was married on tile Atlantic Ocean, while en route to America in May, 1854, his bride being Miss Margaretha Bergner. Mrs. Zuckermandel was also born in Bavaria, her natal day having been August 9, 1828. Our subject and his wife became the parents of six children of whom we record the following: Andrew, Stephen,.laggie, Alnna,.J(ohn Stephen and Ma(ggie. Andrew took to wife Miss Mar y Seava; Stephen lied wlien a child; Maggie passed fromn this earth when anl interesting child of two years; Anna is the wife of Mlnitin Bergner; John Stephen is the hunslbnd of AMiss Ella Reinke; and Maggie is the wife of Fred Ricklner.

KING, who has resided in Bay City since 1853, is one of the oldest living pioneers of the West Side and is very popular among old and young, rich and poor. Ills experiences have been varied arnd his travels extensive, but although now past life's prime he still retains ihis belief in human nature, his simplicity of character and earnestness of purpose. Step by step lie climbed the ladder iwhich leads to success, and starting as a cabin boy became within all incredibly short time, a captain and a vessel owner. It will be interesting to recount tile principal events of his life and note the characteristics which have contributed to his )Iprosperity. In the year 1800 Eusebeous King was born in Detroit and grew to manhood in his native place. Elarly in life lie married Miss lRebecca 'Tlucker in Mt. Clemens, and they removed to Canada, locating in the Township of Mosa, County Middlesex. Mr. King served as an ollicial during the- most of his active life, although his trade was that of a 434 PORTRAIT AND BIOGRAPi-ICAL RECORD. cabinetmaker, and in Canada he engaged in farming as well as at his trade. It was during the father's residence in Canada that the subject of this sketch was born in London District, January 18, 1830, and that province was also the birthplace of the remaining members of the family. In 1845 Eusebeous King removed to this State, settling in St. Clair County, and engaging in farming on the St. (lair River near Algonac. There he remained until 1855, and thence removed to Bay City, our subject having preceded hinm here by two years. In 1856 Mr. King, Sr., was elected Justice of the Peace, holding that position several years, after which time he lived mostly a retired life. He also served as Alderman and School Inspector. At his death, December 31, 1890, he left a family of four children, twelve having been born of his marriage. They are-our subject; Sarah, wife of Charles G. Haddock, of Chicago: Francis and Alexander, both sailors. G. W. King left home at the age of thirteen and going to Detroit, commenced to learn a trade, but after six months' work, the firm to which lie was apprenticed failed and he was obliged to look for another occupation. He secured a position as cabin boy in a boat and from that was gradually promoted until he was able to buy a boat of his own. With that he began to trade on the St. Clair IRiver and continued thus employed for four years, until he was twenty years old. Ilis little boat proved a source of no inconsiderable revenue to him, and he built a small steamer to ferry across the river forn St. Clair to Canada. Afterward lie brlught the steamer to Saginaw, where he made money rapidly. Next he purchased a lumber barge and tow barges and carried lumber to the lower lakes. At one time he owned four tow and three steam boats and has transacted considerable business in shipping lumber. As the supply of lumber liminished lie gradually sold his boats but still has interests sufficiently important to keep him on the lakes during the busy seasons. For almost one-half century lie has been on the water and like all sailors, has had many pleasant as well as dangerous experiences. Owing to the fact that Mr. King has spent the greater portion of his time away from West Bay City he has been unable to accept the official posi tions offered lim. IHe owns considerable real estate in West Bay City as well as a comfortable residence on the corner of State and Washington Streets. In 1850 lie married Miss Julia Causley, of Mooretown. Canada, who dying left four children, naniely: George, who is with Wheeler & Company; Frederick L., whose lhome is in Cleveland; Charles ()., an engineer; Cornelia, wife of IRobert Abbs, of Carlton. Capt King afterward married Miss l'hilomen Galarno, of Mooretown, Canada, who left at her death eight cliildren. as follows: Lewis E., a lake captain; Mlinnie Ml., wife of William Whleeler, of St. Louis, Mtch.; William J.. who is at home; Ralph B., an engineer in Cleveland; Grace, Kitty, Florence and Milton, all at home. Capt. King has now attained to more tlhan three score years, and his record lias been such that lie is exceedinlglyl popular with all classes. As a loyal citizeln lhe is lheld in high favor andl as a man of warm heart and generous ilmpulses lie is universally respected. Politically (apt King affiliates with the I(Rl)uplican party.

Dr. Maxon is the friend of many whose names are not included in his visiting list. His present offices are located in the bank block, at the corner of Washington Avenue and Center Street, Bay City. Dr. Maxon was born in Lima, Genesee County, N. Y., April 23, 1843. lIe is a son of Augustus and Marietta (Wright) Maxon, his father also being a dentist of acknowledged skill. The family is of Scotch descent, the first representative making a settlement in this country long ago, in 1769. Our subject's father continued in Lima but a short time after the birth of their son, Carl W., and removed thence to Mumford, Monroe County, N. Y., and then to Bergen, Genesee County, thence to Nunda, N. Y., where the lad received most of his education. From earliest boyhood the youth had haunted his father's office, and by observation had learned much of dental surgery. His father also proved to be an excellent preceptor in the theory of the profession, and soon the son began to prac tice with his father. Our subject then removed to Leroy and had branch offices at various places. After the war our subject moved to Attica, Wyoming County, N. Y., where his mother still lives. His father died about November, 1880. Father and son were in partnership until the time when Carl W. Maxon enlisted in the Twenty-sixthl New York Light Artillery, being mustered into service the 10th of September, 1862, our subject living at the time at Waterloo.

He also suffered serious inconvenience by a wound made by the knife drawn through his left hand which cut the cords. He remained in service fully three years and was finally discharged at New Orleans. In the spring of 1866 lie came to Bay City and opened an oflice on Water Street, and this terml of practice proclaims him the oldest practicing dentist in the city, having been continuously employed for twenty-five years, with the exception of short intervals spent in travel. Since 1871 I)r. Mlaxon has been located on Center Street. The gentleman of whom we write was married to Adda J. Taylor, of Fishers' Landing, N. Y., their marriage being solemnized September, 1879.

James0 Lewis was it farmeir anod lulmberm~an, and inhis11 political viewsl was at first it Wilig an~d later' a Repuxblican. His deathr, at the ag e of fifty-six, was deeply felt 444 PORTRAIT AND BIOGRAPHICAL RECORD. in the circles of his friends and neighbors. His wife bore the maiden name of Elizabeth Thorne, and her father, David, was a farmer and a Quaker, and the son of Jesse Tlorne, who was of English descent'and lived to be some eighty-six years old. The mother died at the age of thirty-six, leaving six children, of whom our subject is the only survivor, and by the second marriage of the father there were three children, of whom only one is now living, a sister. One half-brother, Milton, served three years in the Fifty-sixth New York Regiment and died one month after his honorable discharge. George Lewis early learned the practical work of the farm and of the lumber business, and also helped in the manufacture of charcoal and learned the cooper's trade. Ile was also put in the way of learning how to prepare the tanbark of commerce. The farm of his father was only eight miles distant from the Hudson River and in the vicinity of West Point, and that region was then quite a new country. Most of his schooling was taken in the log schoolhouse. He occasionally visited New York City in his younger days; he remained at home until he reached the age of twenty-two and then decided to come West. When our subject reached Saginaw City in 1849 that now flourishing town was a mere hamlet. He remained there and at Zilwaukie engaging in the lumber business and the manufacture of fish barrels for seven years, and as he had no means with which to purchase machinery he made them by hand. In 1857 he removed to Bay City, which was then called Lower Saginaw, and became superintendent of Henry Doty's mill, and after four or five years bought a half interest with William Peter in the Partridge Mill, at the foot of Twenty-sixth Street, where they engaged for five years in the manufacture of lumber, and at the expiration of that time Mr. Lewis disposed of his interest in the business and in 1868 started the Bay City Savings Bank, a private bank of which he was the sole owner. After carrying on this bank alone for two years Mr. Lewis took George II. Young into partnership with him, and for two years they carried it on as a private bank and then had it incorporated with a capital of $50,000. This institution, which now became the Bay City Bank, had for its President and one of its directors this enterprising'man who had originated it. In 1886 lie resigned his position as President, remaining as director until'1890, when he sold his interest, as he had become so much absorbed in the lumber business that he felt that he could not longer devote attention to the bank. The partnership between George Lewis and Albert Miller began in 1879 with the firm name of Miller & Lewis, and this lasted until 1891 when the partnership was dissolved and the firm of George Lewis & Co., was established, our subject taking as his partner W. S. Causins and operating a shingle mill at the foot of Twenty-ninth Street. This mill turns out forty thousand shingles a sday, and is one of the largest in Bay City. At the same time Mr. Leis is is interested in the wholesale lumber business and is a partner in the firm of (G. H. Merrill & Co., which is carying on a planing mill. Mr. Lewis has large landed interests at different points and has his farms in the hands of capable tenants. The beautiful home of our subject is situated at No. 1207 Broadway, and was erected in 1889 at a cost of *12,000. His first marriage occurred in Orange County, N. Y., and Martha (ampbell, then became his wife; she was a native of that county and died shortly after his removal to the West. The present Mrs. Lewis, with whom he was united in 1866, is a native of Detroit and bore in maidenhood the name of Frances Merrill. Her six children are Jennie M., now Mrs. Albee; Adna G. and Lizzie T., and the three younger members of the family are George Il., Frank and Margery. While living in Zilwaukie this gentleman was for two years Supervisor and also filled the office of Justice of the Peace, Commissioner of Highways and member of the School Board. lIe was efficient in helping to build some of the first schoolhouses there, and was very useful in that new community. Since coming to Bay City lie has been equally active in public work, and has been Supervisor of the Sixth Ward for two years and a member of the Board of education for two years. In 1872 he was elected upon the Republican ticket for the State Legislature, and besides serving the regular session served also through the extra session of 1874, PORTRIAIT AM) BIOGRAPIHICA L RECORD.44 445 wbitei the State eonstitiitioii wats revised.

(Robinson) Fraser, natives of Perthshire, Scotland, where their son Donald was also born, March 7, 1817. His father was a tenant farmer and Donald was ieared to the same occupation, receiving his education in the free school and living with his father until he was twenty-eight years of age. Our subject was happily married to Margery, daughter of Alexander and Margaret (McDonald) Reid, who were also natives of Perthshire, and this union was blessed by the birth of six children, five of whom are now living. The eldest, Margaret, is now married to Smith Benson, and resides in this county; Alexander married Emma Turnbull, and makes his home in Bay City; John took to wife Ada Castor, and makes his home with his father; Belle married John Gillan, and resides in Wisconsin; Daniel married Victoria Iavland, and also lives in the Badger State. When Mr. Fraser migrated to the United States in 1858 he came directly to Saginaw County. He had obtained by dint of industry and economy $500, and of that he paid $400 for his farm of eighty acres. lie has been prospered -according to his merits and efforts, and has now a beautiful estate, delightful home and most attractive surroundings. He is surrounded by all the comforts of life and a most dutiful family to cheer him in his declining years. One great sorrow has overtaken him in the removal by death of his beloved and faithful wife who passed from this life, November 30, 1879. Since her death her sister, Miss Isabella teid (who came to America with them) has presided over the household and has proved a true sister to him. Mr. Fraser bought this land in its wild condition in the days when it might truly be called a wilderness, and he has cleared it thoroughly and put it in condition for cultivation, removing stumps and stones and managing it with judgment and discretion. All the buildings which are to be seen there were erected by him. During his years of hardship and privation, his good wife stood by him with ever ready hands and brave heart, willing to cheerfully endure and suffer for the sake of securing future prosperity for their children. In those early days there were no roads, no stores, no mills, no -churches nor schoolhouses, and they helped efficiently in bringing all these institutions of learning into their midst. His political views bring him into warm sympathy with the Republican party, and lie believes that in those principles is embodied the true theory of republican (Government, and in his religious connections he is associated with the Presbyterian Church. +++-.-_...1 I/LLIAM Si. THOM()SON. Among the oldest farnms in Tittabawassee Township, Saginaw County, is this tract which forms the estate of Mr. Thomrson. It bears at first glance testimony of long and thorough cultivation, and is in a much more advanced condition than most of the property by which it is surrounded. The soil of Michigan is so rich and productive that it is not soon worn out and in the hands of judicious agriculturists who understand proper fertilization. and the rotation of crops it grows better and better with succeeding decades. This farm of eighty acres is all improved and upon it are excellent farm buildings. The old fruit trees which were planted more than forty years ago, are still bearing good crops. The grandfather of our subject came to the United States from Scotland when his son, who became the father of William S. 'Thomson, was only four years of age. They resided for a while in the city of Detroit, locating there in 1833, and two years later removed to Tittabawassee Township, anrd settled upon the land now owned by our subject, and which has never passed out of the family. The parents of our'subject were John and Sarah J. (Pinkney) Thomson, and the grandparents on the father's side were John, Sr. and Mlargaret (Murray) Thomson, and all four were natives of Perthshire, Scotlanld. Our subject was born upon the farm where he now resides, April 25, 1862, and here he has had all of his life experiences. Ile received his education in the district school, and obtained his drill in farm duties under the eye of his father, assisting him in the cultivation of the ancestral acres and remaining at home until he reached the age of 4 ;.

EVERETT' HODGEMAN, a native of Windsor County, Vt.,_is: one'of the pioneers of Bridgeport Township, Saginaw County, who are still residing here. lie was born July 6, 1819, and is a son of Lott C. and Mary (Cady) lHodgeman. Both parents were natives of the Green Mountain State, and his paternal ancestry was English, and his descent onl his mother's side from Ireland. His grandfather Ilodgeman is said to have been a major in the l(evolutionary Army. When our subject was seventeen years old, lie came West with his parents and tle other mneimbers of the family and settled iln (lis coluty, settling oni the Tittabawassee River in 1836, tand reimoving to the farm which our slubject n11c w occuplies, 'as early as 1841. This old homestead continuited to be the home of his parents until their death. ()f their childreni tlhree are now living, namely: our subject, Mathew P'. and James. It was in 184( that Leverett east his first ballot, and it was for old Tippecanoe and Tyler. In coining West tlhe family traveled by way of the Erie Canal and over the lake to I)etroil, and from the latter place lie and three brothers came on fioot to Saginaw. The educational advantages enjoyed by them were limited, and it has ever been tile determination of our subject to suppletment liis c:arly training by a thorough course of readinig is well as by observation of tlie ways of tlhe world. During their early life in this county tlhe Hodgemans saw much of genlilie pioneering, as the country was then in a very rough condition. Our subject has seen as many as five thousand Indians in a body, and wild bIeasts abounded, bea:rs. wolves and deer being frequently seen froln tile ldor of the old homestead. A large share of the chop ping, clearing and tile removing of stuilps alnd stones which was essential to preparation for crops was done by this young man. On the 22d( of Jalnuar'y, 184(6,,everett llodgeman was marriel to Betsey J.. Kittridge. who becamie tile mother of one son,'Frederick C., alnd departed this life in August, 18,50. T'lie present Mrs. Hodgeiman became the wife of our subject, June 15, 1872. Previous to her marriage with our subject, she was Mrs. Cynthia (Tihayer) IlMurphy. Her native home was in Oswego County, N. Y., and she was born May 14, 1834. IHer parents, Lunmy and Betsey Thayer, were natives of New England, and her first husband was Benjamin Murphy.

While lie realized the hopelessness of ever regaining his wonted vigor, his mind was bright and his wit as ready and keen as when its brilliancy threw the lesser lights of his profession into the shade. Scintillations of his former self flashed through his conversation as lie recalled early forensic combats, and until the close of his life lie was a most entertaining companion and brilliant conversationalist. His success as a criminal lawyer lay in his readiness to grasp the situation and his quick discernment of a weak point in the line of the enemy. No man who has pleaded for a human life is worthy of greater credit and few have had the ability and social standing of this shrewd lawyer, whose nmemory will long be cherished by the fraternity of which he was for years a shining light. The death of Mr. Clark occurred January 20, 1892. Ih - -o.- ^i~-, ---- -. - LLEN L. STEWART is one of the oldest settlers of Bay City, having been a resident here since the spring of 1863. Hle is one of the leading insurance and realestate men of the city, and a thoroughly go-ahead, active and progressive man.' Mr. Stewart was born in Eaton, Madison County, N. Y., ])eceimber 1, 1826. He is a son of Lemuel and Lydia (Barstow) Stewart. )ur subject's father being a farnner, tlie son was reared on a farm. His grandfather was a native of Scotland and the grandmother from the North of Ireland and emigrated to this country prior to the Revolutionary War. lie received his education in tlie district school in the vicinity of his home and spent one year at the village academy. Our subject began teaching immediately after finishing his own course and continued for two winters. Soon after reaching his majority his father died and our subject bought the old homestead which lie operated for three years when he sold out and about that time was married. In 1856 he came to Michigan locating at Flint, where lhe was engaged in the foundry business for a few months, when lie was employed as clerk in the store of Samuel Warren. In tlie spring of 1857 lhe bougit out the Higgins Bros. shoe business on Saginaw Street, and continued his proprietolship of that until tlie spring of 1861. The marriage of Mr. Stewart to Miss 'amelia Wentz, of Binghlampton, N. Y., took place February 22, 1854. This relationship doubtless has hadl its influence upon his wlole after career. In the spring of 1861 he moved his business to East Saginaw, but in a sh(;rt time suffered a great loss in tlie burning of his stock and buildings. lie returned to Flint and entered tlie elmploy of Barker & Riplev, shoe dealers, remaining with them lntil the spring of 1863, whlenu lie came to Bay City and opened a store oii Water Street, near the corner of Sixth Street. It seenied as though a very Nemesis of mIisfortune followed our subject, for tle.July following his coming here lie passed through tlie great fire that swept away so muchl valuable property in tile citv. Savingt a large amounit of his stock, however lie agai e aai o d store on Water Street, between Iiftl and Center Streets. In the fall of 1865 lie purchased a business at the ('corner of Fourthi aiid Center Streets. lere he opened a bakery alnd tle followingt year, 1866(, le iought the land and built tlie block oi the corner of Saginaw and Cenlter Streets. Ilis block was tle first good building erected oni this street. It has a frontage of twenty feet with a depth of one lunldred feel, and is two stories higli. This hi devoted to tlie bakery business until 1874, when lie sold out and turned his attention to the lire insuranc e business, in whlich l he las contilnued until tile present time. Witil the interest named above our subject unites that of real estate and is now reckoned armong the pioneer mieni in this bratnchl. I e has done a very large line.of Iiusiness in insuirance and real estate for outside parties. dealing in both city and country land. Politically lie has taken nIo active interest in tlie aspect of affairs further than to do his duty as a citizen. Socially lie is a Mason,having joined the Bay 'ity Lodge.in 1864, and since leaving his active affairs he has been quite interested in these relations. He joined Bhlanchard Chapter in 1884 aid Bay (i ity Comnmandery in the same year and durinlg 1884-'85 lI( was Master of lBa City Lodge PORTRAIT AND) BIOGRAPHICAL RECORD.45 457 No. 129. In I 1887 he becanie connectedi with the Michigan ~Sovereigni Consistor y. He hits held nearly all the offices in his Commander v tip to and including Captain General. Fornierly Mr. Stewart b~elong(ed to the hidepenideiit Order of Odd Fellow's, amiong whoni lie look a high standin g, ut it o late lie has c!entered his -attention with tihi Masonic oirder. 'to. Mr. atnd Mirs. Stewart has heeni horn one stoil, Sidneiy II., who is now 'teller iii thle Northern Trust Comnpany Bank, of Chicago. Ile married a MIiss Carrie Nellis, of Bay City.

()Our subject received his education chiefly in Bluniteld Township, at the same time receiving instruction regarding duties upon the farm, his father being his teacher in this branch. The original of this sketch has always followed the life of an agriculturist and has been fairly successful therein. Our subject has fulfilled all the duties of a good citizen with the exception of never having taken unto himself a wife and helpmate. His fellow-townsmen have manifested their confidence in him by conferring upon him the offices of Township Clerk, which lie held for ten years; School Director, which he held several years; and in the spring of 1890 was elected to be Supervisor. So well did he fulfill the duties of this position that lie was re-elected in the spring of 1891. lie has taken an active part in all local affairs that have for an object the betterment of the community in which he lives. In politics he is a Republican and is an earnest worker for that party on any and all occasions. lie is a member of the Knights of the Maccabees, and is numbered among the most honored andhighly respected members of society in Blumfield Township. HARLES L. BINGHAM. Most of the Justice cases that are brought up for settlement in the village of Pinconning are tried before the gentleman whose name heads this sketch. He first came to this place in 1881, and the following February lie removed his family here. lie was born in the County of Wentworth, Province of Ontario, Canada, July 12, 1833, and is a son of Gustavus C. and Sarah (Olmstcad) Bingham, natives of Bennington, Vt., and Hartford, Conn., respectively. Our subject's father was an architect by profession, but on going to Canada, became engaged in the lumber business on the Grand River. Later he settled down as a farmer in the county of Oxford, and thence removed to the county of Norfolk, where lie died in October, 1879. His wife passed away from this life after her son had removed to Pinconning, and while she was an inmate of his family, her decease occurring in May, 1884. ()ur subject's paternal grandparents were Alfred and I)eborah (Ticknor), natives of Vermont and Massachusetts respectively. The former was a mechanic and found his hands full in filling the mouths and clothing the bodies of his Len children. Mr. Bingham's maternal grandl)arents were Ashbel and Ilannah Olmstead, the former a native of Hartford, Conn., born of English descent. I-e was a soldier in the Revolutionary War, and a farmer by calling. His family comp)rised eight children. Our subject is one of two children born to his parents. Ilis elder brother, George WV., is a physician and surgeon now located in Waterloo, Canada. (harles L. was educated at tile commono schools of Norwiclville and the grammar school of WVoodstock, the county seat of Oxford, Can'ada, and finished at Fredonia College, Fredonia, N. Y. On completing his education he was engaged in teaching for two winters in Canada, in ()xford and Norfolk C-ounties respectively. IEater lie was interested in the foundry business in the village of Norwichville. Oxford County, Canada, and for eight years employed ten men. lIe then sold his business and purchased a farm at Port Royal, Norfolk County, residing oi the same until he came here. The place comprised one hundred acres, and was as attractive as natural advantages and careful cultivation could make it. While living in Norfolk County, Canada, Mr. Bingham was Justice of the Peace for twenty-two years, and for five years was in the civil service as overseer of the fisheries. After coming to Pinconning lhe accepted a position on the railroad, which he kept for six months and then was for one season in the Big Mill at this place. At tle end of that time he began taking contracts for building in the village, and in 1885 was elected Justice, which position he has since held. Besides this he has served as Village Clerk and a member of the Township lBoard of Pinconning. lThe principles of Democracy are those most dear to Mr. Bingham. Socially he is a Mason.

GU(GEIL, deceased. It has been but a few short months since this honored resident of Frankenmnuth Township, Saginaw County, was borne to his long home. Few of the old residents of the township have been more thoroughly identified witl its various interests than he, or would be mourned with greater sincerity when called hence. In the bereavement which befall them the family lad the general and hearty sympathy of the community, whose members met in large numbers to pay-the last sad tribute to the deceased. Mr. (ugel was born in Rosstal, (ermlny, March 5, 1830. When but fourteen years of age lhe crossed the Atlantic and upon landing on A merican shores, came directly to Frankenmuth where he was employed in the mill of John (.

Thle children of thle second marriage are Christian and Baldas. George F. and Paul L. (Gugel formed a p)artnerstilp in the spring of 1888 and engaged in the mercantile business in Franlkenmuth. They carry a general stock of merchandise and their business is conducted under the firm name of (ugTel Bros. They are ambitious and energetic young mIen and are raplidly gaining for themselves prominence without other assistance than their ability and willingness to work and their excellent judgment. In social circles they are everywhere gladly received and by their courteouis andt gentlemanly manners are lound to imake a success of their business. Mr. (4ug(rel stood high iln the esteeml of his fellowcitizens as is shown by his election to various oflices of trust.

He was born in Wurtemberg, Germany, in the Black Forest, September 30, 1836, and when a lad of fifteen, having lost his parents; George and Catherine (Clauser) Sangle, he came to this country alone. After hlis arrival in the inited States he went first to Bloomfield, N. J., where he had a brother living, and nine months later lie went to Newark, where he worked as an apprentice at the harness trade until he reached his majority. When his time was up he traveled for two years in different places, journeying as far West as Louisville, Ky. About this time tire Civil War broke out and the young man determined to share in the fortunes of his adopted country. He enlisted in Company K, Fifth New York Infantry Duryeas' Zouaves, going from New York City in May, 1861, and enlisting for a two years' service. This body of troops was assigned to the Armyn of the Potomlac and went through the campaign of the Peninsula, and George Sangle lost his brother (who belonged to the same company) during the seven days' fight before Richmond. At the close of his term of service this young man went to Washington, 1). C., to work for the Goverment in the arsenal, and thus continued until the close of tire war. After peace was declared our subject still remained in Washington for one year and in 1866 came to Michigan, working at his trade at East Saginaw until he came to ijay City, where lie worked for Thomas Luxton. In 1875 ihe and Mr. Nichols bought out their employer's business and with a small stock started in for themselves. They have secured the good-will and patronage of their fellow-citizens and as the demand for their goods and their work has increased they have enlarged their facilities and stock until they now command the best trade in the city, making only the finest custom work and carrying a full line of robes, trunks, and all that pertains to their line. Mr. Sangle is a member of several social orders, being a Grand Army man and connected with both the Knights of the Maccabees and the Royal Arcanum. He has a good home which he himself put up on Farragut Street and there he resides with, his family. The lady to whom he was joined in marriage.

When he came to Saginaw in 1868 he had but 82 in his pocket but he went to work with gre:it independence at anything he could get to do and soon placed himself upon a substantial basis. At one time he was employed in Chicago. In whatever he has been engaged he has given his entire attention to his business, and during the last year he was engaged in huyinlg and shilping horses. The marriage of our subject took place, Marchl 5, 1874, and he was then united with Elmma.., daughter of William I1. Sweet, of Saginaw. lIoth are members of the Episcopal Church, lad she is the organist at the Methodist Episcopal Church. Hi was greatly interested in lodge work, and it is with pleasure that we quote the words which were spoken of him by the Sir Knights after his detth. "HIe was a zealous and enthusiastic Masoln, and from the time when lie received the orders of Knighthood in his commandery until prevented by failing health he was punctulal auld constant ill lis attendance, performing every duty with Icheerfulness and fidelity. IHe was one of the noblest men that ever marched under the bainner of Cl(istian Knighthood, honest, earnest, ariable, generous anld full of knightly courtesy." Mr. Martin engaged in the livery business in 1881, purchasiing the outfit of J.T. J. arvey and from that time on he was located at the corner of Hamilton and Ames Street, where lie carried on anil extensive business, having one of the best equipped establishments in the city. lie was one of thle prominent members of the West Side Club and in his politics was in affiliation with the lRepluiitlican party. His death occurred February 1:3, 1889. The children who came to bless the home of our snbj.ct were Bessie, who died in infancy and William Henry who is known by the name of Ilarry and who is now a bright lad of fourteen year.s. The pleasant home of the widow is at No. 814 Adams Street. Immediately after the death of Mr. Martin the following tribute froim the pen of George F. Lewis appeared in the iSa imawian: "A handsome man in form, feature, mood and methods; a good citizen, a competent business man, enterprising and public-spirited, the life of the social circles, undeviating in his courtesy to each and all, regardless of the acute suffering incident to his peculiar ailment of the heart, chivalrous, sensitive, kindly in all his instincts and ever thoughtful as well of the feelings as of the interest of all with whom lie had associations. Jira Martin made friends because lie deserved friendls, friends wlih Iwere linked to him wiith lhooks of steel. ()ther imenii under less suffering lbecomle isaanthrophic, petulanit anid at times unreasonable. )butt with himi thlerel was a 1roal will of kindness, a genuine manhood which subordinated every instinct, sentiment a itd impulse to a feeling of good will toward all of God's ('reaitures."

The memory of this lovely girl is cherished by her associates and friends as one whose brief life might well be an example for others. The political opinions which control the public action of Mr. Stone are in hearty accord witll the declarations and platform of the Riepublictan partly yet he is not blindly lead by others, being sufliciently independent to control his vote. in local matters, by his own judgment and the exigencies of the times, and in all affairs of county and township he votes for the man wliose judgment and integrity he trusts, in preference to endorsing any one partisan ticket. While Mr. Stone is too busy a man witli his own affairs to be greatly absorbed with the affairs of social orders he belongs to Freeland Tent, No. 35;8, K. O. T. M., and is a faithful and lprorinent member of that order. HIe is also al attendant at and supporter of the Methodist Church. lie had no capital with which to start life unless we may count as such robust health, an excellent consttttiion, a determination to succeed in whatever lie undertook and a manly sense of integrity, and with these he has achieved success land is numbered among the prosperous men of his township. -' BRAM WIIITBECK.

After le'aving his uncle lie spent four years in Toledo, Ohiio, lprevious to coming to Michigall l and it was in 1866 when lie came to Saginaw (',outty-, iand settled utpoI tlhe farm where lie now resides.

The' progress of a city * fl Ij\ depends upon the enterprise of its citizens, U/ and the present high standing of Saginaw has been secured by the tireless exertions of its business men. Various avenues to success have opened to those who have sought homes in the Valley and few who have judiciously used their mental faculties, have failed to become prosperous. Conspicuous among the establishments of East Saginaw is the studio of Mr. Pausch, in which canl bie ottained elegantly finished pictures, varying from the smallest card photograph to a iife-size portrait. Although lie has resided here for a brief period only. Mr. Pausch has become known as a stirring business man and a successful photogrl'apher. The only surviving son of Frederick and Agathe (Dressell) Pausch, our subject was born in Thuringia, Germany, April 23, 1856, and is one of six children-four daughters and two sons. Tlie father was actively engaged in business as a mill-wright in the Fatherland and was a man of unflinching integrity and many honorable traits of character. The school dlays of Oscar M. were passed in Germany and lie acquired a good coinmon-school education prior to the age of fourteen years. lie thenl commenced to learn the art of photography and served an aplprenticeship at that business until lie was more than sixteen years old. H1aving resolved upon coining to the United States, to establish a lhome and seek a fortune, lie left his native country in 1872 and crossing the Atlantic, settled in New York. After a short sojourn there, he proceeded westward to Columbus, Ohio, and from there to (ranville, the same State, Retulrning to ('olumlnuis, Mr. 1'auscli spent eighteen months in that ('ity, and from there removed to Ft.

We next find him ill 1)etroit.ind after seven imoniths there. illn Newark, ()hio, wier le lie was engaged as a photograplher for seven years. The sear 18!)0 marked his second arrival inl this city, w here lie has since resided. lie bouight out 1).

A short time subsequent to the building of the machine-shop, Warner & Eastman built a sawmill, and they were among the earl.' successful pioneers in the manufacture of Saginaw's great staple, salt. As has been stated, the history of this firm is identified with the history of the city, which it helped to build. Mr. Warner's influenlce was ever used to benefit the community of which he was a mnember, and his firm was among the foremost in tShe aid of every important undertaking. It is not properly within the scope of such an article as this to give a history of all the iiany events in which Mr. Warner bore his part, so manfully and well, but it can safely be stated that his life wits a useful one for the consistent example he1 exhibited throughout hlis listory. It was marked, also, by an earnest piety and a strict integrity of character, two salient points of great weight in at young and thriving city. Mr. Warner was one of the organizers of the tfilt (ongregational (Church of East Saginaw, and one of its most useful oicers and members. lie was elected 1)eacin at the ti(me of its organization,:and tilled that ollice until his death. In 1867 the miaclinie-shoo l which lie founded was sold to A. F. Iartlett & (Co.. and is yet in actire operation. The sawmill and the lumnler interests which the firm liad acquired were sillicienlt to occupy the attention of Mr. W'arner an d his )p't lner from 1867 until 1879, since which latter (late Mr. Warner gave the matter his persojnal supervision. A friend who knew him well pays this tribute to his reputation: "Although Mr. Warner's life has not been an exciting or ain eventful one, it has yet been marked bly consistent piety. lie is kindly in his judgment and is ever a peacemaker." Thle Highest Authority has given to peacemakers an exhalted position. Ilis was the privilege to prevent broken friendships, or to restore such Ir lationships if once severed. Mr. Warner was twice married. Ilis first union was with Miss Clarissa 1). Barrett, of 11insdale, N. H. Eight children were born to the parents, only two of whom survive. Mrs. Warner died in 1863. In 1865 Mr, Warner married Miss Elj7,,a Sldred. a native of Erie County, N. Y. There were two children born, but none living of this latter marriage. In politics Mr. Warner was originally a Wllig, but when that party became extinct, he, with many others of like nind, joined the Republican ranks. -Ie never solicited public otfice or political preferIlment, but was ever willing to perform his part as a good citizen, and to give such service as miglht be dermanded of him. lie was one of tlle original stockholders in tle organiization of the First National Bank, and for several years was Vice-President. Mr. Wstrner was indeed a father in Israel, and( the fact that lie was known everywhere as i)eacon Warner, and that the title was affectionately and tenderly given him by all who know him, speaks volumes for the sincerity and thoroughliness of his piety. Ilis record of almost forty years in tle Saginaw Valley, gives tlhe story of integrity. fidelity andll capacity, and his just and charittable dealings with his fellow-men hav\e deepened the imlpression inade by his Christian l)rofession an:d devotion t(o the chur1ch1.

Mr. Campbell has always been an ardent Republican, one who does not swerve from the views and principles promulgated by that political organization although he has never been active, giving his entire attention to his professional labors. The gentleman whose name heads this sketch was united in matrimony with Miss IAnna (. Nevins, of Hastings, Mich., a daughter of the Hon. John M. Nevins of the salne place. Their marriage was celebrated January 23, 1889 and they have been blessed by the birth of one child, a boy, Don B.

There are few homes ( in Saginaw County more attractive or de-, sirable than that of the subject of this biography. The owner of a fine farm of one Ihundred and twenty acres on section 31, Jonestield Township, he has placed forty-eight acres under splendid cultivation and embellished the place with all the improvements noticeable thereon at present. Tlie commodious residence is surrounded here and there by shade and fruit trees, while in the rear are,the barns and other outbuildings for the shelter of stock and storage of grain. His present prosperity has not been secured without arduous exertions on his part, and in his efforts he has received the hearty co-operation of his estimable wife. As a stock-raiser and general farmer, he is prominent in the communiity, and his public spirit and enterprise are well known. Many years ago in Canada a cererony was performed which united in marriage Joseph Moulton, a farmer whose native home was in Vermont, and Elizabeth Mullen, w'lo had emigrated to Canada from Ireland, where she was born. Neither of this worthy couple lived to be old, tile husband dying in 1846, and tlie wife three years afterward. They left a family of five children, four of whom now survive. ()ur subject, tile third child, was born in (anada in 1810, and was therefore a mere child when doublly lorphanedl and left homeless Sand friendless to imake lis way against adverse cilrcumstances. lie was taken into thle home of a Mr. Cunningham, with whom he remained until he was eighteen years old, working on a farnm annd enljoying none of the home comforts which most children have. When eilghteen years old Mr. TMoulton comimenced to work out by tli month and continued tlhus emlsloyed for several years. Whenl he was:able t; establish a honme of his own, he was ma rried (ctober 21., 1860, to Miss Sarah L. Wilson, lthe daughter of William andl Sarah (l lnderwood) Wilson, native s of New York. Mr. Wilson (lied in 1862, but his widow still survives (1891) at lle age of eighty-seven years. She was a widow with five chiilren at tle time of her ulnion with Mr. Wiilsonl, and hle 1lad tell cil(dren l)b a florlmer mrearriage. 'Their unioin hrought to tlheml five cllildren, four of wlhon are n(ow living. Mrs. Moulton was born.June 10, 1844. in (Canada, w'Iere she was lmarried iin her younrg vwomanllhood. In,anu1ryv 1866,.

J UDGE JOHN W. McMATII. It is seldom that official positions obtain for a considerable length of time, during the changing administrations of our Republican form of Government. Judge McMath, who is a prominent attorney in Bsy City, has held the position of United States Commissioner for the Eastern District of Michigan since 1864. lie was born in Romulus, Seneca County, N. Y., June 3, 1824, and is a son of Samuel and Mary (Fleming) McMath, farmers by calling, but being lroplrietors of a hotel. The father died when olur subject was but three years old. In the year 1827, before the decease of the head of the family, the McMaths came to what is now Willow Run, four miles southeast of Ypsilanti. The family continued to live there for six or seven years, and then removed to Lenawee County, where the family broke up and our subject again took 1up his abode near Ypsilanti, where he remained until he was twenty-four or twenty-five years of age. The youth acquired the rudiments of his education in the old Ypsilanti Seminary and later took a course in the Michigan University, entering il 1846, and graduating in the Ciass of '50, that had among its members such men as W. A. Moore, Dr. Fiske and 0. M. Barnes. The young man captured the degree of Bachelor of Arts, and soon afterward began to read law. While pursuing his studies he taught for one year in Centerville, MAich., and then began reading in IDetroit with Messrs. Backus & Harbaugh, a leading law firm at that time. He was admitted to the bar in October, 1852, and before the Supreme Court of which the Hon. Sanford M. Green was then Chief Justice. Our subject began the practice of his profession in Mackinaw. He remained until 1863, having been appointed Collector of Customs for the district of Mackinaw in 1861, and also Superintendent of Lighthouses, that oflice being tlien ex-ofieio, as the district at that time included a ll points in Michigan north of Muskegon, also on the west coast and north of Saginaw Bay, also all points on the east side of the Sioux and Lake Superior. iHe also had supervision of the points in Wisconsin inclulding and nortl of Maanitowoc, which took in ( 'reen Bay, Appleton and similar pllaes. lie held that position until the sumrmer of 1867, wliei lie hanided in his resignation. In 1863 the headquarters of that customs' district was located at the Sioux, and there lie made his residence until his resignation, cominig from that place to Bay City, which has )(Tbee his residence ever since. On locating in Bay ('itsy our sublject resulled his law practice. Ite has been City Attorney three years, Imenimer of the Board of Sulervisors one year, Alderman one year, 1and lie wa:s electe(l 'robate Judge in 1872, serving until 1876.

Removing to Bay City, Judge Green resumed the practice of law, but his respite from official duties was of brief duration, for five years later he was called upon to fill a vacancy in the Eighteenth Judicial Court, which vacancy was causel by the death of Judge Grier. He )resided on the bench for over thirty years, and during that time not the shadow of a suspicion derogatory to his honor clouded his fair n:une. lie has ever been an honest man and an upright judge, and in his advanced years the veneration and respect of tile people not only of Bay City but of the State at large, cannot but be gratifying to him, as being a tribute to his best qualities. In 1860 Judge (reen published a work on the practice of circuit courts, of which twelve hundred copies were sold. In1 1877 he published a treatise on the practice of common law courts in Michigan, putting it forth in two large volumes, and in 1879 he published a treatise on. townships and the duties and powers of township officials. In 1882 a second edition of this was called for, and ten tlousand copies were purchased by the State for the use of its township officials. His latest work is "Crime, its nature, causes, treatment and prevention." This work was issued from the press of the J. B. Lippincott Company, of Philadelphia, and has met with the success that it deserves. Judge Green has given up the arduous duties of his profession, and at the present time (1891) employs himself in such congenial work as does not make too heavy a drain upon his time and strength. lie is Treasurer of the Bay City Manufacturing Company, Limited, which is a stock company. Socially Judge Green was formerly a member of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, but when appointed to the bench his duties were so arduous as to necessitate the relinquishment of many of his social relations. He has never been in any sense a politician, although ever striving by example and influence to arouse a greater interest in true statesmanship. Our subject was married February 12. 1832, to Miss Mary Ann, eldest daughter of Judge Calvin McKnight, who was the Judge of the Court of Common Pleas of Jefferson County, N. Y. From this union five children have been born, of whom four still live. They are: Mary Frances, now Mrs. Russell Bishop, of Flint; William C., who is engaged in real estate in Chattanooga, Tenn.; George S., of Chattanooga, and Florence, now the wife of Albert II. Van Etten, of Winnipeg, Manitoha. Mrs. Mar1 A nn Green died on the 28th of May, 1879, and as a woman of sterling worth and marked intellectual ability she was grcetly missed by her friends as well as tlme members of her family, to whom she was especially en(leared for her many personal excellencies. I)DAMI KOLB,I a member of tle filinn of Kolb Bros., Brewers, located on Fitzhugh Ave1 inue, between Sixth and Seventh Streets, is a native of Salzburg, Mich., whel hlie was born January 15, 1867. He is the son of (Gorle( Kolb, Sr., for whose sketch see the biosgrahlly of George Kolb, iJ. O()r subject receivedl is education in this city, after which lie attended tile Iligh Scliool, from which lie was graduated in 1886. Subsequently he formed a partnership with his brother 1and bouglit the brewery of M. WVstover. whiichl was at the time of purchase only a flrame building withl a capacity of eight tlhousand barrels per year. In 1890 these brothers rebuilt, putting up a large brick structure with a basement and three stories. which now has a capacity of sixty thousand, but only making thirty thousand and increasing as they have demand. 'This firm has one of the finest offices in the city. it beiimg finished in hard pine. They sell mostly to local customers. Mr. Kolb is one of thle members of the Board of Water Works of the city. but he does not dabble in politics, as lie has enough else to do. The subject of this sketch was united in marriage with Miss Mary Brenner, of West Saginaw, October 29, 1890. They are the happy parents of one child, whom they have given the name of Lena. ?:' d%LCit;gi'*fCL;;ra;' —. 'I;i ), — i~:~~;-. 6PlsLILC- —r:~.

Our subject was reared on the home farm until eighteen years of age, receiving a common-school education. He had, however, determined to become a professional man and in 1852 entered the office with his brother Ilenr. then practicing at Adrian, this State. now of Lathrop (Cal. Under his able tutelage he progressed rapidly, and (luring the winters of 1851-55-56 lie had tie a(llitional advantage of attending lectures at tile State Iniversity. lie was graduated from the Medical l)epartment in March, 1856, and began practice in partnership with his brother at Adrian. After graduating, however, he located at Linden, Genesee County, and there continued until enlisting in 1861. Our subject joined Company E, Sixth United States Cavalry, being mustered in at Washington as a private. IHe was stationed at the National Capital until March, 1862, and then his re(iment, with the Army of the Potomac, ls l;ody guard to Gen. McClelland,took part in all tile Peninsular campaigns. Enlistingas a private, in six weeks lie was made acting hospital steward, and in 1862 was transferred to the First United States C('aalhl in the field as acting Assistant Surgeon.

At the last-menltioned date lie was transferred to the Camden Street llospita:l in BaltimOre, and Septembler 1, 1864, 1 4lie was discharged. having served for three years. On returning to Michigan ill November, 1861, our subject located at Saginaw and resiumred the practice of his profession. The brother with whom he had studied was a homeopathic phyllsicianl:ad he had practiced under that school until after his graduation, when lie a(dopted the 1rcgutll r mlethod and continued the same until lie cale to Saiginaw, when he resumed the use of thle homeopathic reimedies. Dr. Knapp belon)gs to the Saginaw Valley Homeopathic lMedical Society. Ills practice has been eminently satisfactory and lie has frequently been called into conlsultation by the leading regular physicians. Our subject was married November 14, 186.5, to Miss Ilelen C. Clark, of Lindon, a lady of marked refinement,who died only three years her narriage, which was celebrated September 14, 1868. Dr. Knapp was again married April 9', 1871, the lady of his choice being Miss Mary Emmna Fisher, of Saginaw,a teacher in the public schools. She (lied November 16, 1877. There was only one child by this marriage, Edgar L., who was born September 24, 1873. lie is a stludent in the Iigh School and is a very proilising youthl.

When Mr. Munsie first came to tle States lie engaged in the life insurance business at Port Iuron and from there removed to Saginaw where lie remained until four years ago when he came to Bay City. For the three years that lie was at Saginaw he was engaged in insurance and real estate and in every place where he has resided lie has done well in business, proving by his prosperity and the respect of his neighbors, his genuine qualities of integrity, ability and enterprise. Few men in Bay C(ity have more thoroughly the respect of their fellow-citizens than this one, who is comparatively a new comer among them, and lie has been able to work up a good line of business in both city and country. lie is a member of the Masonic order and is Vice-l'resident of the St. Andrews' Society and is President of the Heather Curling Club. lie is a true Scotchmiian at heart and loves to keep up the customs and traditions of his early home and being an ardent admirer of the game of curling, he organized the club here only a year ago.

His first work was to cleal a little space upon whicli he imiglht erect a rude structure to shelter his family. He then felled the trees little by little as lie could, and clearing away the stump)s, put the groundil ill a condition for raising crops. and it was indeed a happy day when they harvested the first product of their fields and fed themselves therefrom.

Mrs. Downing is a native of Bay City, where she was born June 30, 1851, receiving her education in the common schools of Hampton Township. She has been a member of the Baptist Church for twenty-three years, in which she is an active worker, also taking great interest in the Wolnens' Home and Foreign Missionary Society. Mrs. Downing is one of the few women who have become successful inventors, she being the inventor of the Downing Washing Machine on which she procured a patent July 22, 1890, and which has justbeen placed upon the market. It promises to be a great labor saving device, and a most helpful addition to the laundry. It was given the first premium at the Bay County Fair as being the best washing machine exhibited. Mrs. Downing states thatshe got the idea for her in vention by washing laces with her hands, immersing and dipping them in the suds to save the fabric. Our subject and his wife have had a family of six children, all of whom are deceased: William A., died in infancy; Hlarrison, at the age of two and one-half years; Lorama M., aged five years; Newton, four years; James Wilbur, two and onehalf years and Flora B. four years. In politics Mr. Downing is a Republican. HOMAS K. 1HARI)ING, chief engineer of the fire department and fire marshal of Bay City, has been connected with the fire department here longer than any other man, having been with it since 1866, and chief engineer since February, 1883. He is a man of broad intelligence, great popularity, and has numerous friends; he was Vice President in 1890 of the National Fire Engineer's Association. He [has worked hard to secure for Bay City a good system with modern improvements in the fire department, and it is owing to his energy and work that the city now has one of thle,finest fire departments in tile State, Our subject was born at St. Catherines, Canada, and had his early training within sight of that stupendous object of nature, Niagara Falls. Ilis father, Robert, learnedl the trade of a shoemaker at Queenstown,Ireland, and came to Canada,where he established himself as a successful manufacturer of and dealer in boots, shoes, and leather findings. There he did an extensive business and spent the remainder of his days, dying at the age of seventyeight. Ilis wife, whose maiden name was Mary Kelly, was born in I)rogheda, near Dublin, Ireland, and now resides in St. Catlerines. They had four sons and three daughters, the eldest, John, served his country for three years in the Civil War, being a member of the Eighth Michigan Cavalry. Thomas K. HItrding was born March 31, 1817, and after studying at St. Catherines, finished his course at the lBuffalo (N. Y.) Iighr School. At the age of fourteen tie was aplprenticed to the printer's trade anid worked for three years on the St. Catherines Cson.fstltioti, a weekly paper, after which.lie took charge of the printing-office of the Joiurnal, there, which lie carried on for three years, andi then after a short sojourn in 1Buffalo lie camet to Michigan, and was with the old Detroit Ad.ic rtfier for three years, and in 1866 took charge of the Bay City.Journal, being foreman of the job delartment. Later lie started the daily Tributie in connection with G. Lewis, E. Kroenke, and Johnl Culver, and in this he had charge of the jol) department. He afterward served HTenry D)owe, and later,tames llirney, in the same kind of work, antl tlen entered into partnership with Mr. McMillanm, tand published the daily Observer. Since 1883 Mr. IHarding has paid lis entire attention to the fire departmlent, with which he has been connected since 1866. In the spring of 1883 he was appointed by the Cisy Council as chief eiigineer, and lie has built up this part of the city service until it is in as good condition as that of any city of Michigan. lie is also connected witl the common council as secretary of the house and building committee. Ile serves in the same capacity upon the Board of Electric Light Control, and also upon the Board of Building Inspectors, and is likewise inspector of buildings and churches. In 1885 our subject introduced into the Michli PORTRAIT AND BIOGRAPIIICAL RECORD. 583 gan State Fireman's Association a resolution requiring all insurance companies outside of the State, doing business in Michigan, to pay a per cent. of money to the Fireman's Benovolen t Association, but did not succeed in the matter because of the controlling influence of the insurance comanies. TI( organlized and a drew tup the Constitution for the Bay City Fireman's Mutual Benefit Association, and was its first President and is now its Treasurer. We have here to record as one of the most imp)ortant events il the life of Mr. llarding his marriage, in 1876, to Miss Margaret A. Roache, who was born in Petersboro, Canada. Six children have blessed this union, namely: Fred W., Robert F., Thomas, Harry, lee and Helenl. The social orders with which this gentleman is connected are the Knights of Pythlias, the Ancient Order of iUnited Workmen and tlle lKnights of the Maccabees. C1)DGAR B. F()SS. 'lle ltmbelr interests still continue to be the leadinlg and most lucra-,;L tive business in the P'eninsular Slate, and those who have engaged in it from its developmient here have amassed large fortunes, and in fact there is a prospect, as the forests are decimated by tlie woodinen, that these lumber treasures will grow in value. Our subject is one of the prominent wholesale lumber dealers who are located in Bay City and in this end of tile Saginaw Valley, and although lie has accumulated a handsome fortune, lie is as enterprising now as in his younger days. AMr. Foss was born( in Willinantic, Conn,, February 28, 1851. He is a son of John and Salahl B. (Slade) Foss, the former a native of Rhode Island, but of English descent; the latter of Uxbridge, Mass. Her family were Quakers, who had come to America from England to enjoy the freedom of their belief. Her father was a Quaker preacher. lMrs. Sa:ah Foss is now seventy-eighty years old, and still resides in Willimnantic, Conn. She has been the mother of ten children, and of these our subject is the youngest. The members of the faro ily became scattered and distinguished themselves in various ways. ()ie brother, Samuel S., was Adjutant in tile Eighth Connecticuit Ilfantry. and served throughout lle entire war, receiving a wound at Ft. ])arling before lRichmond. lie was in partnership with our subject in tile lumber business until 1883, when lie was thrown from a buglgy and killed. Our subject was reared at Woonsocket and Prov.lence, 1I. I. I-e attended tile public school at the former place, and was a student at tlle business coilege of the latter place. In 1867 lie came West and was emplovyed( for a time as clerk in the office of D. A. Ballou, at Kawkawlin. This firm were dealers and manufacturers of lumber, aindl olne of the largest in this portioll of the coulntry. Tile young mlall was advanlced froml Inspleetor in thle yards until in 1872 lie became traveling lrumber salesman for the firml of Van Etten, Kaiser & Co., his route being lriincipallyl in ()hio for several -yelrs. lie pursued this business until 1878, when he with his brother Samuel S. botught out thle luimber stock of h1is employers, but soon sold it and started into business inl West Bay City, in 1879). 'I'he busines was.coulducted under tlle firm name of S. S. S. E. B. Foss, wholesale lumlber dealers. for several years, and then the firm removed its plant to Bay City. At his brother's death, E. B. Foss bought out his brother's interest and soon after took in J.. M. Leiter, of Oh)io, as partner, and for five years tile concern was conducted unlder the( name of lFoss & Leiter. Since that time our sublject has been sole owner, doing buIsiness as E. 1. Foss &a Co.

Charles McBratnie, another brother, engaged in the War of the Union, enlisting in the Sixteenth Michigan Infantry and was killed in the battle of Gettysburg. William, tile brother who caime to the United States with our subject, became a prosperous and influential citizen of Saginaw Countty, and died some five years ago. The Rev. Colin McBratnie engaged in the lumber business in Michigan, and after some time spent at Menominee secured a tract of pine land in Thomastown Township, which he cleared iln partnership with his brothels, and when that was accomplished lie turned his attention to the cultivation ol the soil in Swan Creek, afterward James Township, Saginaw Comunty. lie followed the life of an agriculturist until fifteen years ago, of which calling he made a decided success. Soon after making Saginaw his home Mr. McIhBrtnie engaged in the grocery business, to which lie devoted lmuch of his time and attentiotl until his death. This outline of a successful mbusiinss career colmprehends but a small part of tile life work of Mr. MeBratnie, for while lie was conducting to good advantage a private business his heart and soul were full to overllowing with love for humanity, and every day of his well-spent life found him ministering in word and deed to his fellow-men, and his memory is revered by manyl warm friends, who ever found a helping hand in, and received words of comfort from him. Over thirty years ago, haviing his heart touched by witnessing human suffering, and with a desire to accomplish all the good he could in the world, Mr. McBratnie became identified with the work of the Methodist Episcopal Church, in 1873 was ordai ned local preacher and thus imore effectually carried on the work he so much loved. lIe had frequently addressed audiences upon those subjects near his heart, and now entered heartily into the active work of a minister. lie visited tile poor and needy and had regular appointmients to preach to the unfortunate inmates of the County Poor Ilouse. It is said of the Rev. Colin McBratn ie by a friend that "he was one of those local preachers who did not wait for some one to hunlt up work for him to do, but found it for himself. He did as much lpastoral work as ten pastors. lHe was a striking example of tlie usefulness of the local preacher; in appearance he was of robust frame, and his beaming countenance always wore an expression full of human sympathy. While lie had his own business interests to care for, lie was, nevertlleless, ever ready to minister consolat ion and offer prayer at thle bedside of the sick or to point a sinner to Christ." 'Tle lRev. Mr. McllBratnlie had frequlently been called upon to fill riesplonsi le pullhlic positions, but lie eared very little for pulblic honors, and tholtghi a Ilel)ublicanu in politics was il no sense of the word a politicilan. ie served twelve years ol thlle Board of Supervisors of Saginaw (Cotl., and also held other l)lulilic offices. Iis strolln soc ial qualities alnd admlirati(o for ties of frienlldhi indued hini to becolme a Mtlason, and before his death he ihad taikle the Master dleg ree. lie wa, so thorooughlyl illlmpessed with the iprinciples of that; order. and its doctrines beilg so mIuch ill ac(cordt wit.i his oswn1 ideas, 1le was intimately a:ssociatqetd witl t hat fraterinity for year's.

The domestic life of our subject was happily in augurated November 25, 1884, by his marriage to Miss Lena L., daughter of William Lake. of Saginaw. She was educated in l)etroit at the High School, and is a most accomplished and pre-possessing lady. They have one son, Herbert A.,.Ir. Mr. Forrest and his wife are members of the Methodist Episcopal Church. He is also greatly interested in the Young Men's Christian Association and the Epworth League, and has represented his church frequently in lay conferences. I-le was recently elected one of the two lay delegates of the l)etroit conference to the general conference of the Methodist Church which meets at Omaha in May, 1892, and enjoys the distinction of being the young1est member ever elected to a general conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church in this country. Tile attention of the reader is in vited to a lithographic portrait of Mr. Forrest presented inl connection with this sketch. IILIAtM I. BEI,I,. This gentleman, who is thle proprietor of Bell's Art and Music Emporium, is all excellent business man and well adapted to secure success in his line. I he is pleasant and affable and a man of more than ordinary literary taste and ability. Ills friends regret that business interests plrevent himi from dlevoting himself exclusively to writing, for which he has a decided talent. Our subject was hl)rn in Auburn, N. Y., April 2, 1856, and his fattier, William, was horn in llerkimetr, the same State, in 1801. The grandfather, William, Sr., was born in lsondonderry,lIreland, and came to thlis country with his wife and three children in the year 1800, locating first in l'hiladelphia, but soon removing to New York, where he carried onl farming until 1812. IHe located afterward in Cayuga County, and continued farming until his death at the age of eighty-eight. liHe had four sons who all lived to an advanced age. The father of our subject died at an earlier age than any of Ihis brothers, but lie lived to be seventy-nine. They were of Scotlch-Irish blsood, and ill religious faith were adherents of the Methodist Epl)iseosal Churlch. 'The fatther of our subject was one of tlie most prominent men in Cayiuga County, and( becalle colonel of State militia. Ile had comllmiand of several regiments. and had not the State Legislature wiped out the State militia lie would have been raised to a higher ranik. lie was a prominent local politician, and was Supervisor and Justice of the Peace for years. He was first a Whig and then a Free-soiler, and during the Civil War was active in raising and diilling men, and would have gone out as Captain had not his age prevented. After the war lie became a l)einocrat, and durting his later years was an ardent Prohibitionist. Col. Bell was twice married. his first wife being Sallie Beach, )by whotn hlie had six children, three of whol] aire living. alnd thle mlother of ouril subtiect was Maryv D)elano, who was hor'n near lPolugkeepsie, N.. and became l>i her 1irst mSarriage tlse wife of John lieoagland.

He was the President of one of the Conferences held in the Methodist Episcopal Church of which denomination he was an active member. Miss Stella S. Orton was the maiden name of our subject's mother, who was born in Lindley, N. Y., and was the daughter of Milton P. Orton, a native of New England, who was graduated at Yale College; he was a prominent physician and surgeon residing in Lindley, N.. During the Civil War )r. Orton had charge of the hospital on the Jersey coast, where his decease occurred in 1864. In religious affairs he was an active member of the Presbyterian Church. Ford 0. Rusling was the third child in his parents' family of six children. lie was educated in the academy of Lawrenceville, Pa., being graduated therefrom when less than eighteen years of age. He then began studying to become an electrician and in 1881 came to East Saginaw itnd became an employe of the Swift Electric Light Company, and a year later was made its Superintendent. When the company established a plant in Bay City, Mr. Rusling was made Superintendent at this place. I-le remained with that company until 1884, when he went to Chicago as expert for the Brush Electric Company, and traveled as a representative of that firm through the Northwest to the Pacific 'Coast. Two years later lie became identified with the Schuyler Electric Company, of Hartford, Conn., as expert electrician and traveled in their interest through the East and New England for one yea, and then spent three years in erecting a plant for that company in Wichita, Kan. Mr. ltusling next went to St. Joe, Mo., whelr he became Superintendent and electrician of an electric railway plant, then went on to Chicago as special agent for the Connecticut Motor Company, and traveled for them all over the United States. In 1891, Mr. Rusling became Manager and Secretary of the West Bay City Street Railway Company and has revised the system until it is one of the best in the State, and gives perfect satisfaction. Bay City owes an incalculalble debt to those of her business men who have been sufficiently broad and far-sighted to plan such conveniences and improvements in the city as conduce to the prosperity of business and therefore to the growth of the town. Such an one is Mr. Rusling, who has given a mullch needed stimulus to the manufacturing interests of the West Side by the implrovements which he has made in the street railway system since comillrn lhere. In )ecember, 1887, our slubject took unto himself a wife and helpmate in the person of Miss Kate Scott (laplp, a native of Elmira, N. Y., and of this union has been born two children, Stella ()Orton:and Anna Scott. Mr1. Rsling is a Free and Accepted Matson, and is a im(lneber of the Nationald Electric Association.

Ilis decease occurred at the age of fifty-eight years. 'Tie narried life of our subject's parents was blessed by the advent of six children-.Jamies, Eliza, Andrew, who is deceased; Margaret, Mary (deceased), and John. Mrs. Andrew Gralham died at the age of seventy-four yeara. She was making her home with her daughter at the time. They were members of the Episcopal Church.

Our subject's paternal grandfather was James. Barr. He was a curer and packer of haris, which were famous throughout the land. lie was a man of means and died at the age of eighty years. While a resident of Glasgow orl srbject attended school to some extent and was reared rigidly in the faith of the Presbyterian C('lhrch, attending Sunday-school twice every Sunday. Ateight and a half years old he was set to work in a tobacco factory, receiving twenty-six cents per week. lle continued at that clmployment for five years, at the end of which time he was the recipient of only fifty cents a week. lie then served an apprenticeship in a machine shop, but his work brought only a few shillings. D)iscouraged by the progress lre was making in his native land lie determinred to seek his fortune in America and worked for two years to get money enough to nake tire voyage. He came to this country in 1842, in a sailing vessel and was sixty-one days on tlhe voyage. It, was a disastrous year for seafaring men. There were many storms and many ships were wrecked alnd that on which our subject sailed was badly dalmaged. Locating at Montreal, Canada, Mr. Barl was employed in a machine shop for three months on the first iron boat ever made in Canad'i. IIe worked there for one year, then spent one montll in 'oronto and afterward shod horses for six months at Niagara Falls. Mr. Barr then rebuilt a steam engine at Chippewa, Canada, four miles from tile falls and then started for Albany, N. Y., on the canal, but was prevailed upon to stop an(d work inl the shops at ('ohoes, N. Y. Therle he elped to construct the first knitting lounis ever built. lie then built fire engines for eight years at Waterford, N. Y. While employed at Waterforld Mr. Barr twice distinguished himself as bIeing a man of unusual presence of mind and bravery, for twice lie rescued boys from drowning. On one occasion hearing a commotion and rushing out to learn what it was, he found fifty men on the bank and before their eyes a drowning boy. 'The child had gone dos n for the last time and waiting only- to findll out tire spot where ( lt hd last appe.ared, he1 dived to the bottom and broughl t him up apparently lifeless, but after much work tlhe lad was restored to life and lived to thank his lresler with all his leart.

His father was a clergyman and in 1871 the son accompanied his parents to Michigan, where they settled in Fenton, Genesee County. In 1886 this young man was graduated from Kalamazoo College with the degree of Bachelor of Arts, and he had in tlie meantime also taken a course in a business college and had done some newspaper work. lie spent two seasons as a commercial traveler and was also a reporter in the Michigan Legislature, during the session of 1887. In the spring of 1888 he entered the office of the Kalamazoo Teltjraphl where he remained for two years and a half and also (lid other newspaper work. The marriage of Mr. Stone took plalce in Augulst, 1889, and he was then united with Miss Lizzie,. Warrant, of Kalamazoo. In November, 1890, he removed to Saginaw and became managing editor of the Evesing News. He is also secretary of the company which owns and publishes tlat paper and the Weekly News, besides having business interests elsewhere. He has proved hliself, although still a young man, one of the enterplrising and inulluential citizens of Saginaw. The Eveningy Nves first appeared as a six-column quarto, May 2, 1881, and was published by M\essrs. Seeman & Peters. The first issue was printed on a pony job press, but better facilities were soon added and the paper grew in circulation and influence. In due time the size of the paper was increased to eight pages, and June 8, 1887, the Weekly Newsc was started. Both papers were sold by the original owners November 12, 1890, to the Saginaw EveniniRil i N s Compalny, which is cormposed of pracItical newspaper men and is ollicered as follows: l'resident, Euglene 3McSweeney; 'ice l'resident, J.

'R REDERICK A. TASCIINER. Many of the most thrifty and intelligent citizens of this section of Michigan were born and reared on the other side of the Atlantic, and to England and Germany especially is Bay County indebted for some of her most enterprising and prosperous citizens. To this class belongs our subject, who was born in Prussia, Germany, and is a son of Martin, who was a farmer there, and who died at the age of eighty-five years. The mother died aged sixty years, and both were valued members of tile Lutheran ('hurch. Our subject is the only one living of the nine children born to his parents. Ile was reared in his native land, on the farm, and received but a common-school education. When sixteen years old lhe began working out by the year for *12 a month and clothed himself. He gradually received more wages, and when twenty-one years old enlisted in the German army, serving for three years. In the year 1860 lie entered the employ of the railroad and three years later left Bremen on the sailer "Victoria," and after a seven weeks' voyage, landed in New York, whence he came direct to Detroit. ()n December 26, 1863, Mr. Tastchler enlisted in the Nineteenth Michigan Infantry, and tlhe following February was sent South and was with Sherman in the battles of Kcnesaw 3lountain, Pumiplkinvine (reek; in tall the battles of the (Georgia Camplign, Pe.achtree ('reek, Jonesboro and Atlanta. lie fell back to Nashville under Th'romas, after Gen. I-lood. After the close of the war he still remained in the service of the (;overnlenlt, and went to Augusta, Ga., remairning six or eight months, then to Little Rock, Ft. Smith, Ft. (Gibson, Cherokee Nation, Fayetteville (Ark.), lTuntsville, then back to Fayetteville, irotecting the border. lie remained there until his time was out, and was honorably discharged l)ecermber 26, 1868, land being a well-drilled soldier, lie was said to be tile best man ill the Nineteenth Regiment, and it was only because he could not speak or read IEnglish that lie remained a privatte all through tlre live years. He contracted tile rheurnatism in the service, and now suffers severely from it, but in spite of all this he is yet a congenial and whole-souled man, well-read in his native tongue, and held in the highest respect )by his comrades and many friends. IUpon his retlrn from tlhe army, Mr. Taschner came to Bay City and worked in the mills for '. E. _Iradlley, firing and piling lulmber for eighteen years. lle was then employed in thle E. B. Foss lllumbrer Yard, sorting lumber, in which occupation lie is now engaged, although able to do tbut light work. He has been a resident here since.lairary 1. 1869, anld now hlas a comlfortable and attractive home at No. 216 North.Jackson Street. The resideuce adjoining tile one in which lie lives is also owned by liiim. Mr. Taschner and Miss Caroline Black were united in marlriage in te year 1870. The lady is also a native of Prussia, (Germany, and is a daughter of Karl Black. She came to this country in 1869 with her parents; the father died in 1888, and the mother is now residing with our subject at the age of seventy-eight years.

Of these George 11. and Frank G. are in business with their father; Charles is in the drug business in Bay City; Edith is the wife of E. Q. Ingersoll, of ('anton, III., and has one son, Max. A lithographic portrait of Mr. Munn accoimpanies this sketch. ELON B. ALLEN, an active, energetic busi))ness man, and one who has successfully ' coped with the difficulties of some of the ()) hardest phases in life, is the gentleman whose life-history we are about to attempt to give in outlinr. Mr. Allen was born in the town of Porter, Niagara County, N. Y., November 28, 1844. He is a son of David P. and Clarissa A. (Timothy) Allen, natives of the old Bay State. D)avid Allen was a son of Philip Allen, who is a farmer in Massachusetts. He went to New York about 1835 and there resided until his death, which took place in 1850. He reared his six children, whose names were: David P., Whitmore, Palmer, Clara, Jane and Louisa, in the faith of the Presbyterian Church, giving them that best of all inheritance, a good parental record and good constitutions. Our subject's father came to Michigan in 1867 and settled in Clare County, where he entered and improved a farm and there still resides. l)During the Civil War he served in a New York regiment. He and his wife have been for many years conscientious followers of the creed as held by the Presbyterian Church. They reared a family of nine children, whoare: our subject, Myron, Charles P., Herbert, James D., Helen E., Sarah L., Minnie E.,and Irva D. Our subject's mother was a daughter of Elkana and Clarissa ('rower) Timothy, natives of Massachusetts, but early settlers in New York. Our subject was reared on the home farm. Ile earlyattended the district school and there absorbed equal amounts of book-learning and mischief. He began for himself on the farm, working by the month or at whatever lie could find to do. lie spent two years in thle oil regions during the great excitement and in the fall of 1868 came to Saginaw, where lie entered the employ of Mr. 11. A. Tildon and was elnga(ged in manufacturing lumber and salt for tel yeatrs, after which lie rented a salt block and conducted the business himself for three years. In 1879 lie built the salt works at G(arfield and in 1880 located there. lie had purchased four l hundred acres of timber and at once set himself to clearing and improving the same. He now owns i one hundred and twenty acres of land in Clare County and four hundred acres of pine lands iin upper Michigan. While clearing his land Mr. Allen has been operating his salt well. lie now holds thle position of l'ostniaster at (Garlield. Hle is a Republican in politics and socially a Mason, and a Kn ight Templar. le made his own way in tile world, for mianyN years striving man fully with adverse circunistances. Mr. Allen has for the past three years been engaged in breedinig ('lydesdale horses. ()ur subject was married l)ecember 16, 1875. to Nellie, daughter of William and Laura (Could) McKnight. Their imarried life has been verv I pleasant and the future seems to promise blessings! and comforts ill proportion to tlie struggles of tilhe past.

E. Lyons, of Cleveland, Ohio, and our subject. William Dunnigan was reared in London, ('anada, until he reached the age of nine years, and in 1861 he came to what was then called Wenona, and attended the common school, until he reached the age of fourteen, when he found emlplo yment in the sawmills, for some twelve or fourteen years. On account of rheumatism lie finally left the sawmill and his employers, who esteemed him very highly, sought and obtained for him a position on the police force of West Bay City, which lie entered June 9, 1881. Our subject remained upon tle 1)lic e force uintil 1887, when he was appointed by the City Council, Chief of Police and Marshal, and served the city in that capacity until April, 1891. In 1888 lie engaged in the livery business, buying out Mr. Baily, and carried on the business until the spring of 1885, when he sold out the concern. He owns a farm of eighty acres of well-improved land in Merritt Township, this county. Duiing the time Mr. Dunnigan w:as Marshal lie had several exciting encounters. At one time in arresting a colored man, Peter Saunders, who had killed a man, lie had great difficulty in gaining admittance to the house where Saunders had secreted himself. The criminal defied any one to c(omie up the stairs, threatening to shoot, but Mr Diiinnigan ascended the stairs and by parleying through the closed doors induced the man to give himself ul), telling him that it was better to be locked up safe in jail than to be mobbed, as there were five hulndred people outside. However brave this crowd might have been in mobbing the man, not one except Mr. Dunnigan dared to enter the house. Another desperate encounter took place. March 4, 1891, and was with the lunatic, Henry Colliker, who had murdered Andrew 'olson. The shot he received from this desperado caused a selrious case of blood poisoning and it was only through his having so vigorous a constitution that lie escaped death at thatotime, and he has never entirely recovered from its effects. When lie retired from the police force as Marshal he had been in that part of the city's service steadily for ten years, and during that time lie had been connected with all the )principal cases anld arrests. Mr. )lunnigran was married in West Hay City, ill 1876, to Mliss Ella Pridgeon, who was blorn in St. Clair County, Mici., and was the daughlter oi John Pridgeon, a native of England, who lived in St. Clair (Countys when lie first came to America, but now resides in West lBa City. Three sons have been granted to our sublject and his estiimatle wife, Edward, Arthur atnd Williami. Mr. I)unnigan is a membller of the Ancient ()rder of Hliberinians and belongs to St. Mary's C(atholic (lihurch. lie was a strong D)eniocrat until 1889.:and at that time became a l cpiilicai, althlolugh lie understood fully.that his change of lpolitics rmighlt result ill a loss of oflice as Iay C'ity is a )Democratic town. tRE)D 11. l'RIEUI.

The father was a tailor by trade and resided at different times in various villages in Canada, and there the boy obtained his education in the common schools, completing his studies in the Canadian Literary Institute at Woodstock, after which lie came to Michigan, locating at Bay City, as above stated. The young mian first found employment in the woods among the lumbermen, and was able after a little to take the position of a scaler,:and afterward that of foreman, and continued thus until 1881, when he went into the lumber business for himself, remaining in that line for some six years, being largely interested in culling and manufacturing. While still in this business he became the proprietor of the Moulton House, which he bought in the spring of 1881. Some five years later he bought the Brunswick House property, and refitted it, putting in steam and other conveniences, and carrying on the house successfully something over two years. lie finally sold his property to the Government as that site was desired for the new Government building. Mr. Buchanan bought the Campblell Iouse Block, a fine brick building with one hundred and twenty-five feet frontage on North Water Str-, t and one hundred feet frontage on Third Stlre t, buying also an additional lot running back to Saginaw Street. Upon this lot he erected an addition to the hotel, which he devoted to the kitchen laundry and the rooms for the help. The house has sixty-four rooms available for guests, and it is thoroughlyl heated throughout bly steaml, and lhas electric liohts in every rooml. Albout *1(),()(0 were explende(l by hlim in refitting anld imlprovements upon t'akingl the house, and in all resl)ects it is now a first-class hostelry. IThe hotel pro)lerty comlprises six stores, two frollting' oln Third Street and four on Water Street. lie also owns another brick block on Third Street. Mr. Bluchanan is well adlapted to achieve success in this ctllling as lie is accommodating in his nature, and geniai and kindly, and thinks no trouble too) mutch in order to make his guests comfortable andl contented. Our subject is now the Alderman for tlle Secondl Ward, to which position he was first elected in the spring of 1888, and againii i tie spring of 1890. lie is a member of Joppal Lodge.. -..

Mrs. Munson was inclined to the lresbyterian faith; she died April 19, 1866. Our subject was brought to Michigan when ten years of age. He had' Icgun his school life il New York, and after coming to Michigan, spent a little time in school in St. Clair County. When fifteen years of age he began to be self-supporting, working as a common laborer in the lumber woods of St. Clair County. For thirty-seven years he was engaged in the lumber business, and it is doubtful if any man knows more of the business than does he. He served as foreman for Wright & Howard, and for a time for David Ward, of Pontiac, and was afterward in the lumber business for himself for fifteen years. HIis lumbering exploits extend over a wide area of country and follow the Tittabawassee, Molasses, Tobacco and Chippewa Rivers. Mr. Munson's first recollections of Michigan include adventures with Indians, deer, wolves and bears, and in his life in the lumber camps many are the stirring experiences that lie has had. lie retired from lumbering,n 1886, and has since devoted himself to bucolic interests and pleasures. He was married (ctober 24, 1867, to Amelia Williams, who was born in Victor, N. Y., October 25, 1846. Mrs. Munson is a lady who at once conmmends herself to the good graces of those with whom she meets. Able, intellectually and every other way, she is a model housewife, and is the proud possessor of her husband's full confidence and love. They are the parents of four chlildren, whose names are Charles, Carrie, MIyrtle and Anna -all of whom are still at home. The original of this sketch purchased'his lpresent farm, which is known as theSwarthout homestead, and one of the first farms settled in the township, in 1882. He removed here the following year. The place comprises forty-seven acres, all of which is under cultivation. It is one of the richest tracts of land in the Saginaw Valley, having a sub-soil of clay that retains moisture and a light, rich and loamy surface soil. Mr. Munson has gone into the business of farming on the scientific plan, making a study of the work. IIe keeps thoroughly posted by reading the best literature of the day on this specialty. lie raises some fine graded horses for sale, and is the owner of ta ine animal of the Clydesdale.

This continued until he reached his twentieth year when the active personal duties of his life were entered upon. At first he devoted two years to railroading, acting as superintendent in the construction of a line. Then followed an interval of hotel-keeping ill Boston, and tllis episode was followed 1y a break in all the old established relations of his life. Like many other young men, especially those of Yankee birth, lie wanted a wider field of operations than any that the old home offered to her sons, and he profited by the advice that Horace Greeley was so often giving in that day. lie went to the West at the age of twenty-five, and at first settled in Detroit. Here lie remalined for seven years engaged in commercial pursuits, and then, believing that the lumber business presaged fame and fortune in the future for himself, he journeyed north to Saginaw City, in the same State, ill 185(, and remained there ten years, since when East Saginaw has been his home. Mr. Webster's first important venture in this direction was to unite himself in partnership with Myron Butman, of Saginaw City, and thenl to purchase a sawmill at Zilwaukle, on the Saginaw River, and to operate the same. 'They were among the pioneers i-n the salt-making business, putting down the second or third well, an industry then in its infancy, but it has since beco me one of tle most important in the land. A salt block was built and operated in connection with the mill just alluded to. Mr. Webster retained his interest in this property but a few years and then having sold the property his active mind needed further ermployment. This he secured by (recting another mill and salt-block at Carrollton, a short distatnce only from the scene of his former labors, anld this property he operated successfully alone for several years. In time he sold his Carrollton plant and built another mill and salt-block at Bay City. lie retained his interest in this venture for some five years and then sold out only to re-engage in the same business at Portsmouth, near Bay City, where he erected another mill and established the necessary salt-works. This property, too, he disposed of after having establisled it permanenltly. His mind was of unceasing activity, needing employnlent constantly and finding it fully in these mlanly successful endeavors to develolp the resources of the wonderful land in which lie had made hIis home. Since the building and selling of the Portsmnouth mill in 1880 Mr. Webster has devoted his timle to the management of his investmeent in pine lands. lie had no predilection for public office, but lie ias always performed a good citizel's part by feeling an earnest interest in his country's welfare. Mr. Welster was mIarried at the age of twentytwo to Miss Angelinle Rice, a daugllter of Eli Rice, of Bartonlville, Vt.; they have but one child. a son, Benjamin F., wlo is now associated with him in business. ()ne of Saginaw's most eminent citizens gives this estimate of the lold Samuel ll. WVehster possesses upon his fellow-mren, and the rank accorded to him atmongl then. It was all opinion formced on long experience, and it is a truthful one. lie says: "Mr. Webster has had the happy faculty of being able to so iimove among men as to win business success to himself without inc.uirring the envy or hostility (f any. Hlis sot ial ways and his kindly manner toward all with whom lie comes in contact, his hearty appreceiation of the merits of others, and his enjoylment in whatever brings good to thelm; his integrity, which has been tried by the vicissitudes of fortune, and found to be sterling anid true; all of these tlhings have won for him.a position among his fellows, which is one of the greatust prizes of life. W IJILLIAM ROESEIR a prominent dealer in agricultural implements and farm machinercy at Saginaw, is a native of (ermnany, aind was born in Januatry, 1825, at Htalle, Prussia, where salt was manufactured over one thousa:nd years ago at tlhe time of Charles the (lreat.

(ur subject now has his farm on section 32, Chesaning Township, Saginaw County, and is raising good crops and an excellent grade of cattle on this property of forty acres. His parents were from New York and settled in Livingston County, Mich., when he was only two years old, and as the father was both a farmer and a mechanic, the boy early learned farm work, although the father lived within the boundaries of the village of Parshallville. Edward Ilopper received but a limited education, attending school only two or three months in a year, and early began working for wages. lHe entered the army in 1865, enlisting in Company D, Sixteenth Michigan Infantry, and was in the Army of the Potomac. Ile did not participate in any battle, but was with the regiment through all its term of service, except for two weeks spent in the hospital at Jeffersonville, just before coming home. He took part in the Girand Review at Washington, and received his honorable discharge in July, 1865. At one tinme they were three days without provisions, and he received a serious injury one dark and stormy night when on the march by stepping into an unseen hole and thus wrenching his back and hip, from which lie never recovered. le now receives $6 a nmonth pension. After returning from the army, Mr. lopper pur — sued various callings, and was married June 4, 1872, to Miss Clara N. Chase, of Tyrone, Livingston County, where she was born, July 22, 1853.

Immediately upon arriving in Canada I)r. Newkirk set about finding some good location to enter upon the practice of his profession, and after visiting New York, Chicago and other places he concluded to settle in Bay City. Ils previous experience at once secured him a large practice and he has been a very successful practitioner of the Saginaw Valley. He devotes his time to his practice, although he has a pharmacy and is interested in real estate. l-le has erected five fine residences here and owns and occupies a beautiful dwelling on Tenth Street. He has also been interested in other enterprises and corporations, holds property in Chattanooga, Tenn., and in the vicinity of D)uluth, Minn. The ])octor has been offered a professorship in the College of Physicians and Surgeons in Chicago, but feels contented with his surroundings in Bay City. In 1862 Dr. Newkirk and lMiss Mary,. Anderson were united in marriage. The bde wid s )born in Cleveland, Ohio, and is the daughter of,John Anderson, who was born in Ireland and came to Canada, where he was prominent in tile Canadian Rebellion as a McKenzie man.

Tile daughter, who was born in Corrientes, South Amlerica, was a graduate of Leggett's Academy in Detroit and later studied at Vassar College, Poughkeepsie, N. Y.; she married M. R. Tousey and resides in Chicago. Harry is at present (1891) a cadet at Orchard Lake. Socially Dr. Newkirk is identitied with thle Masonic fraternity. He was County Physician for more than ten years, until his resignation. Ile is now President of the Bay City Board of Education, and has been a member of tile School Board twelve years. In educational affairs hc has always manifested a great interest atd has assisted several through college who otherwise would not have enjoyed a collegiate education. lie is Surgeon for the Michigan Central Railroad and the Chicago & Grand Trunk Railroad. In his political afliliations gate to county and State conventions. Few are so well posted on the tariff question as he, and when there was a joint discussion betweenl him and Rev. ). l. onnerl on that subject, )eople flocked from far and near to enjoy the discussion, and those who could gain admlittance to the crowded hall witnessed one of the most ilnteresting debates in the political history of tlie State. It is perhaps unnecessary to add that; 1)i. Newkirk's usual success dlid not desert him at tliat critical lmoment and it was felt b)y a11 that his argulllellts were unansiwerable anid convinciilg. l AMES 1). PEAISAI,L.

Plessner, a prominent physician of Saginaw. The delightful home of this family is situated at No. 115 South Andre Street on the West Side. Mr. Zoeller has the firm confidence of the business community and it is universally believed that his incumbency of the office is adapted to forwarding the interests of the city. OSEPH P. LE ROIeX, who is engaged in the insurance business, and keeps a real-estate and loan oflice at Bay City, is also the manager of Le Patriote, which is owned by the firm of Le Roux & Maucotel, and has resided in this valley since 1868. Among the French-Canadian citizens of Michigan, he is one of the most prominent and he is a man of both talent and judgment. He was born at Riviere de l'lsle, St. Ignace Parish, Soulanges County, Canada, October 20, 1846, and is a son of Julien and Clotllilde (Montpetit) Le Roux. IHis paternal grandfather, Antoine, was born in Canada, and was a son of Hubert Le Roux, who came from France. The family have been agriculturists ever since coming to this country, and the father of our subject died in 1868, leaving to his family the farm which had been his for many years. His widow resides on the old homestead, and is a tdaughter of Pierre Montpetit, of French descent. She married a second time. The child of her first marriage, Gabriel Martin, resides in Canada, and by her unlion with Julien Le Roux, she had five sons, of wlom four are living, namely: George, Joseph P. and Alexandre, who make their home ill Bay City; Pierre, who resides on the old homestead with the mother; and Paul, who died in infancy; also five daughters, of whom three are living, namely: Azilda, Mary and lerinmie, who are living ill Callada, and iAnna and Alphonsine, who both died att the age of eight years.

She brought her family to America in 1863 and located at Ann Arbor. Thinking a change advisable and to the advantage of her growing sons, Mrs. Murphy moved from Ann Arbor to Thomastown Township. Here she passed her latter years and died at the'good old age of seventy years. Our subject was reared on a farm and educated in the district schools. The family were limited in circumstances and the lad was obliged to make many shifts in order to obtain the comforts of life and those things dear to young manhood. IHe worked in a brickyard by the month in summers and spent a short time in the lumber woods during the winters. lie then started a brickyard on the west bank of the Tittabawassee River, in Thomastown Township, and continued to run this for three years. lle then started his present yard near Painesville. Our subject began business on a small scale and increased it from time to tile until he manufactured two million brick per annum,shipping them to Saginaw, Bay City and.Jackson, and many of the brick buildings in Saginaw are built from the products of his yards. lie was a hard worker and a good manager. His farm included one hundred and thirty acres. lere he tarried on farming to'I small extent, paying the greater part of his attention to the making of brick. The h.ndsome residence which his family now occupies was erected in 1883. It is completely furnished with all the comforts and conveniences so necessary to modern life, and is finely finished. Mr. Murphy was married in Ireland January t0, 1860, to Miss Mary Vany, who was born at a distance of only half a mile from our subject's home, May 13, 1842. They were playfellows and schoolmates. Mrs. Murphy has vivid recollections of the voyage over the ocean to America,which lasted six weeks and three days. She is the mother of eleven children, all of whom are living. They are Bridget, Anna, Thomas, James, John, Michael, Henry, Sarah, Neal, Maggie and Joseph. Mr. Murphy passed away from this life, October 15, 1890, and was as much missed in social as in commercial relations. Mrs. Murphy is a woman of good business judgment and still carries on the farm and sbrick business with the aid of her sons. She, as was her llhusband, is a miemtber of the (Catholic (Chur('h.

This wellknown and popular vessel master and pilot has his residence at No. 609 State Street, Saginaw. Hte has for over forty years been identified with the water transportation interests of Michigan, and no other man who has sailed the lakes has a wider or more loyal acquaintance. For thirty years he has stood at the helm of the best river and coast boats of Saginaw River and Bay, and probably no living man has been so closely identified with its water transportation. Like many of the wide-awake men whose lives ha:ve been interwoven with the growth of the Saginaw Valley, Capt. Medler was born in Canada, his birth having occurred on the 8th of May, 1830, at Port IBurwell, Ontario. Our subject comes honestly by his natural disposition to navigate nature's own highways, as his father, Jacob Medler, was a sailor and shipbuilder, The father was a native of Nova Scotia, one of the greatest centers for shipbuilding and water commerce. The maiden name of our subject's mother was Elizabeth Stanley, a native of New Brunswick, where she was married when quite young. They came to Michigan when our subject was in his seventh year. Here the father conducted an hotel at what has since proven to be West Michigan's imost popular inland resort, at that time, Reed Lake, but now Grand Rapids. In 1837 the family of our subject became identified with a new portion of the Wolverine State, and were among those whose efforts were spent in developing what has since becomle the finest of many fine sections il Michigan —the Grand River Valley. Here the lad grew to manlhood, assisting his father in the work of clearing the farm, and when a remioval was inmade to (G;rand Raplids, where lMr. Medler elngaged il ship carpentry, our subject received his initiatioii into the secrets of water navigation. When eighteen years of age young Medler became a (deck hland on the "Paragon" iin its trips between G(rand llapi(ts and (ralnd Ilaven. After becoming familiar with the river, lhe was made pilot, a position of the greatest responsibility and requirilg such efforts of stability and determinlation, that, were they expended in any other line of business, would be crowned with success. It is unnecessary to say that our subject possessed all the qualities that would make of him a trusted pilot, and contiinted to plow the waters of the lower Grand River for fifteen years. ()ne of the noted vessels of which he was master and pilot was the ill-fated "Daniel Ball." tie was enlgaged in those capacities when the vessel was constructed. ill 18G6, andl was hter lpilot whenl the elementS enlded her eventfiul career, anl occasion which is most vividlly impressed upon thle miinds of many of Sagin'aw's (citizens, as a large i number of theml were aboard when she was grounded ands were compelled to stand in the water 'until they were rescued from their uncomfortable position. ITponi the construction of the (;randc I aven Railway in (Grand Rapids, thle river trade was so diniinished that ('apt. Medler turned hIis attention to more favorable occupations, and accordingly in 1862 he came to Sargillaw, which was then doing an immense water trade. lis first engagement here was as Master of the "Nebraska," a iboat used ill conveying cargoes of salt and lumbler to port, ts the water in the river was not sufficient to allow the large lake vessels to leave the bay. The "Mason" was then commissioned, and Capt.

Henry Campbell commenced his education ir Genesee County, and came to Saginaw Coulnt with his father, who took ull the milling and lumbering business and remained here for the remainder of his life, dying in 1870. At Saginaw, in 1867, the youth was first in the emplo. of Seth McLean (his present partner), and after a time he became manager in his business, having ii great advantage in his complete knowledge ol milling as he was able to build a mill frolm beginning to end. When Mr. McLean removed to this place young Campbell came with him, and in 1881 became a partner of the concern. He built the mill which the firm now uses some eighteen years ago. Its capacity is one hundred thousand feet a day,tnd it is fitted up with gang and circular saws, edgers. lath machines, and all of the latest improvements necessary to operating a mill of that caIpacity. The establishment gives employment to about one hundred men. The firm has also put in two large salt blocks which have an average of two lhundred barrels per day. The Valley Soap Works are owned and operated by McLean & Co., which in that connection is known as the Valley Soap Company, and was started in the year 1891. Here are manufactured all kinds and as fine brands of soap-toilet, bath and laundry-as any factory in the country. The works have a capacity of one.hundred and fifty boxes a week, and the business is constantly enlarging and bids fair to eclipse many older establishmeuts.

He was of comrmanding appearance and bore a military air. Ile followed farming in New York State, and lived to the remarkable age of one hundred and tenl years. Our subject's father was noted for his generosity and benevolence. The soul of honor himiself, he too frequently took others at his own standard. IHe served as a soldier in the War of 1812, and then ran a boat on the Erie Canal for ten years, and from his savings purchased a farm and was at one time the owner of three hundred acres of land. In 1834 he sold his place for 815.000, taking $2,0)0 cash and notes without security for the balance. The purchaser soon after took advantage of the bankrupt law, so that Mr. llarris was the loser of *13,00(0. After selling his New York farm, our subject's father went, in 1834, to,orain County, Ohio. That farm lie cleared and remained upon for a few years, and then traded for a farm in Rochester Township, Ohio, which lie had not seen, and that farm he traded for a faim in 'ittabawassee Township. It was represented to be ia fairly improved place,having good stage service aind otlier advantages. In truth it was one solid wildelress,and quite beyond the then bounds of civilization. Soon after settling upon the place he divided it among his sons, and passed the remainder of his life with our subject, at whose home he died at the age of sixtythree years. Hle was not connected with any sect, but was a devoted student of the Bible, imitating,a closely as he could the example of Christ. At his death he confided his wife to the care of his son Moses.

Our subject was married in September, 1860, to Miss Cynthia S. Stone, a native of Onondaga County, N. Y. This marriage has blen blest by the advent into the family of four children. They are: William E., Ellen, wife of Edgar Whaley, Anna and John II. In 1860 Mr. Thompson relates that he and his wife landed in Michigan with only sivty-three cents and although they have not been exempt from misfortune and trouble, they have been prosperous and now enjoy the comforts of a pleasant rural home. Socially our subject belongs to the Independent Order of Odd Fellows and the Knights of Labor. He is President of the Subordinate Alliance and President sf the County Alliance and organizer of the Eighth Congressional District, and is Chairman of the Eighth Congressional District of the People's Party. [.. —^A:^aj.O A: -- EV. HOWARD M1ACQUEiARY, of Saginaw, whose name has come so prominently before the public as a party to the controversy with Bishop Leonard, was born May 27, 1861, in Albemarle County, Va. ile was the youngest of eight children and his parents were Thomas IIoward and Sarah Jane ((arland) MacQueary. The family was of Scotch-Irish origin and came to America at the close of the eighteenth century settling on a plantation in Virginia. Thie maternal grandparents were Clifton and Diana (Kinsolving) Garland, and both tlese families were of English descent and came to this country about the time that the MacQuearys emigrated. They were both well-known families in Virginia and several of then were influential in politics, law and the church, although most of them were well-to-do planters. Clifton Garland, however, lost his property and his children were deprived of many advantages. The parents of young MacQueary beganl life with limited financial means and although the father was rapidly acquiring a competence his death, which took place in April, 1861, left his widow and three children in ratlera destitute condition. Five of the children of this family had (ied before tlie father and one soon followed him. Iloward, the youngest child, was thus left entirely dependent uplon his mother, who huslbanded her lmealger resources an(d by dint of industry, managed to send him to the parochill sclhool until lie was thirteen years old, at whicll time his health failed and he left school and beganl work upon the farm. lie soon regained his health but found it necessary to continue farming which lie (lid for five years, and then went to Washington City, where lie continued his struggle for existence, blarel succeeding in imaking a living for himiself and mother. After eigbteen months spelnt in mercantile business in Washinigton lie was enabled by friends to secure it comfortable home for his mother, and to enter college, thus realizing his most ardent ldream. T'Iis ambitious studlent entered Norwood lligh School and College in tle fall of 1880 iand after a three years' course, lie deidedl to enter the ministry, intl went to the Epliscolpal Theological Selminary near Alexandria, Va., where lie took the three years' course in two ycears and gradualted in 1885. Ilis gr.aduating es'tayt sounded the key note of Iiis subsequent career as it was on "The Liberal Education of the Clergy." At tlie time it created considerable comment uit was not considered objeetionable, except by a few conseivatives among tile clergy. ()n time 19th of July, 1885, lie receivedl l)eacon's orders from the Riglt Rev. (George W. Pcterkin, D. I)., Bishop of West Virginia, and took charge of the Parishes of Fairmont and Mor'gantown, W. Va. An acquaintance which spruntg uil in 1886 with l'rof. Joseph Le('Cote, of the University of C'alifornia, exerted a great, influence upon tlie tlhought of Mr. MacQeary, as lie was a radical evolutionist. Young AMacQeary's favorite studies were apologetics, history and thle natural sciences. After a lastorate of eighteen months in Fairmont, le was called to the Episcopal Church of (Canton, ()Ohio. and there his most notable work was done. lie had been educated in the strictest orthodoxy but his scientific studies finally began to undermine his faith in traditional dogmas. lle first broke PORTRAIT AND BIOGRAPHICAL RECORD.77 737 with thle churich on the quiestion of endless prunislirIueist, arid lie was led tii seeept thle itoctriiie of evoIsition hgy a thorough studs of I~arwiii, Huxley, TI'ndsall, Spencrss, LeCosle., Wiiiclell and others.

In the neantime Mr. MacQueary had discovered that the sentence pronounced upon him was uncanonical, in that it imposed two penalties for one offense, and he therefore moved the Bishop on September 1st, to restore him to the ministry, hut the Bishop availed himself of a technicality to change the sentence from a definite to an indetinite suspension. Mr. MacQueary therefore decided to take the matter into the civil courts and enjoin the Bishop from further suspending him, for he questioned his right to so alter the sentence. At this juncture he received a call to the First Universalist Church at Saginaw, Mich., and coneluded to accept it rather than to contend in the courts for what he believed to be his rights. ()n September 22, lie renounced the ministry of the Episcopal Church, which renunciation was formally recognized on the 25th of that month by lishop Leonard. At the same time another book by Mr. MacQueary, entitled "Topics of the Timies," was brought out by Lovell. This hook deals with social and theological problems and supplements his previous work. lie has also plulislled various articles in papers and periodicals and is recognized as a man of strong mind and earnest purpose even by those who differ radically from him oil theological questions. (n January 14, 1892, lie was married to Miss Emma Clarkson llarris, the accomplished daughter of the Hon. John T. Harris, of HIarrisonburg, Va., who was for rman yrears the Representative of that district in Congress. A special to the Baltimore SuLn from Harrisonburg, Va., gives the following information concerning a social event that is of interest to many readers of this work: "Miss Emma Clarkson Harris and the Rev. loward MacQueary were married here to-day at noon. The ceremony was performed by Rev. Charles E. Woodson, rector of the Episcopal Church at FranklinVa., and a cousin of tIhe groom. The marriage took place at tlhe residence of the bride's father, and was attended only by immediate relatives of the parties, no invitations having been issued. The bride is the second daughter of Judge John T. Harris, a distinguished member of the Virginia bar and for many years tile representative of this district in Congress. Miss larris, who was educated at the Convent of the Sacred Heart at Manhattanville, New York City, is a beautiful and accomplished lady and has a large circle of friends in Virginia and Washington City. The groom is well known in religious and literary circles, his work on the "Evolution of Man and Christianity" having recently caused his trial for heresy in the Episcolal liocese of (hio while serving a church at Canton, and resulting in his ultimlate withdrawal from the Episcopal ministry. lie now has charge of a wealthy Universalist clurchl at Saginaw, Miclh. Although tlhe marriage to-day was exceedingly quiet, it was attended bIy a nrumber of relatives frolm a distance, alnd tlhe bride received many handsome presents. After the ceremony a wedding breakfast was served, aned Mr. anid Mrs. Mac(Queary left on tire afternoon train for Washington.

Our subject was born in Waterford, Oakland County, this State, March 5, 18;51, and his father was the Hon. Francis W. Fifield, who born in ()gden, Monroc County, N. Y., and removed when a boy to Central New York, whence he came to Michigan in 1838. His grandfather, Samuel Fifield, was born in Salsbury, N. H., August 23, 1793, and took part in the War of 1812. He located in Monroe County, N. Y.,where lie had a farm some twelve miles from Rochester. le came to Michigan in 1838 but did not live long after his settlement in Waterford. His faithful companion, who was in maidenhood Sarah N. Norris, of New Hampshire, came to Bay City with a daughter and died in 1884 at the extreme age of ninety-one years. The father of our subject was sixteen years old when he camne to Michigan and soon after arriving here he began teaching, and after his father's death took charge of tile farm and the family, as lie was the eldest child. lie cleared two hunldred and fifty acres and farmed it all until 18(2 when he engaged in the merchandise and milling business in Waterford, being a successful merchant there.

In 1858 he was elected Worthy Master, which office he held for twenty-one succecsive years. lie was born in 1821 and has therefore reacled the limit of threescore years and ten. His good wife, whose maiden name was Joan Morris, was born in New York and came to Michigan with her father, who died shortly after their location in Oakland Counsty. She is now seventy-one years old and in feeble health, as she has experienced four paralytic strokes within the last seven years. Four boys and three girls constituted the family in which ouri subject grew to rmaturity, andl three of this number still survive, our subject and two sisters, na'mely: Annettie, who is Mrs. Lanning, of )ecaitur, Van Buren County,and lattie, nowr Mrs. Bradt, of l;liut. Our subject was reared up)on a farm and studied ill tlle commllon district schools, after which lhe took three vears inl (larkson Academy and received a certilicate to teach. During his vacations he assisted his father in the store and in 1871 andl 1872 lie took charge of tlie stave mill at Newport, where he (lid an extensive business both in milling ailnd iln general merchandise which was connected therewith. ()n the 9th of November, 1876, Mr. Fifield came to Bay City and becrame a partner first in the firm of.Gustinll Merrill. which afterward became (uistin, Merrill &( C'o., and finally Merrill, Fifieldl & Co.

Mrs. Miller belomngs 746 PORTRAIT AND BIOGRAPHICAL RECORD. to a family of journalists, and three of her uncles were interested in the newspaper business, one of whom was Volney Ilascall, for thirty years editor of the Kalamazoo Gazette; her grandfather alnd father were gifted writers, and she has inherited a taste and gift for the work that has been of great assistance to her husband in their married life. Two children have been born to Mr. Miller and his wife-Olive ilascall and Nellie Warren. T'he elder, Olive, was transferred to the heavenly homen November 2, 1879, and since that sad event the whole course and tenor of the parents' lives seemed to change, and they sought to learn more of the mystery called death, the result of which served to turn them from Materialism to Spliritualism. This change was made most apparent in their newspaper work, Mr. Miller never hesitating to give his sentiments on any questiron. Previous to the advent of the Jrgqus several futile attempts had been made to start a paper in Chesaning, only to prove a disastrous failure after the novelty had worn off. 'herefore it was with the greatest difficulty that tlhe Argus won the confidence of the people and succeeded in placing itself on a sound basis. This is owing almost entirely to the indomitable will and courage of thle editor, whose trials in the beginning would have discouraged many an older head. UIpon coming to Chesaning Mr. Miller put all his earnings into the office, and whatever he las of this world's goods has been gained ty hard labor, push and enterprise. At the beginning of his newspaper work here he was the youngest proprietor and editor in the State, being then only twenty years of age. He may truly be said to be a self-made man, and, as he himself aptly remarks, a graduate of the "Wolld's College." Mr. Miller has the satisfaction of seeing the Argus looked upon as the ''people's paper," it having a wide-spread circulation, and its influence reaching not only throughout this county but into the surrounding communities. Besides its home circulation it is a welcome visitor to many homes in all parts of the State, and in almost every State of the Union. The Argus, always independent in politics, has within the past four years been aggressively so, but ever on the side of the people. It has labored zealously in the progressive and reform movements agitating the country, and in ehhalf of the industrial class it has taken sides with tile Patrons of Industry and the Alliance organization. It always favors religious and political freedom, and any movemerit tllt will belefit humanity. B;y thus uphtolding what he t:lieves to be prinlciples of justice and right, Mr. Miller has nrmny times brought down ulpon his head vials of wrath, threats and plersecutions fromn those who differed with him. But thllrough it tll he held his groundl and stood firm until victory las crowned his efforts, and hie now hias tihe sull))ort of allost, thle lentire comnmunitv. / I HATLES GLASEI.

Having carefully hoarded his earnings, in 1838 he was enabled to purchase forty acres of his present farm. It was then heavily wooded. lie settled upon it and cleared it up. The Indians were at that time numerous and hardships were many. He was prospered in his dealings and, notwithstanding the disadvantages against which le labored, at the time of his death, which occurred September, 1875, lie was the owner of three lhundred and twenty acres of land. lie was a man of strong character and sterling integrity and had been reared in the faith of the Episcopal Church.

William M. Smith was married March 13, 1871, to Julia E. Palmer, who was born in livingston County, N. Y., April 22, 1840. She is a lady whose presence alone will commend her to strangers as well as friends. Our subject and his wile have never been blest by the gift of children. They have in their family, however, one adopted daugh ter, Blessie, whoim they took at one and one-half years of age, and who is now six years old.

It is of thrilling in terest to one whose heart is loyal to our country's honor to hear an old soldier recount the scenes of conflicts, the wearisome marches, and the exciting episodes of the Civil War. Among those who can interest and instruct is the gentleman whose namre appears at the head of this sketch, and who is one of the wellknown farmers of Buena Vista Township, having his fine farm of one hundred and ten acres located on section 32. Mr. Dunning was born in Charleston, Penobscot County,.Me., July 28, 1832. Ilis father was Col. John Dunning, also a native of the Pinle Tree State. His mother bore the maiden name of Abigail Page, and was a native of the same State as her husband. Tlhey both passed their last days ill Maine, dying in Charleston. Our subject received a good education in his native place, having been enabled to enter High School,and for about eleven years was a teacher. He made Charleston his home until l1866, when lie started out to see something of the world for himself. and that lie was successful in his undertakings will ble seen by a perusal of this sketch. Our subject was married J.tanitry 20, 1851, to Miss Elizabetlh Foss, also al native of (harleston, Me. After his marriage he l(ocated on a portion of his fatlier's f:rm, wlhilc lie continued to mlake his home until 1866(, in the fall of which year lie c:tlme to Satillaw a.ti elngt"ged ill tlle lIumb1er tbusiiiess witli loby Ireland ias his plirtner.

August 11, 1863, Mr. 1)Duning enlisted in Coimpany I), First Cavalry, and t fought bravely for tlie preservation of tile I'nion until tlCe close of tlie wvar. While oii a cavalry raid near (oalfield. Va., lie was wounded in the rigllt leg but witli that exception passed through the conflict unharmed, other than wllht would ln cessarily follow tile privations and hardships witli whlich a soldier'.s life was surrounlded. As before stated, our subject is the Iroprietor of one hundred acres of arable land, and esitdes this is interested in business with llis two sons ill Menomrinlee, this State.

In 1888 lie was again the choice of his party for Congress, but was defeated on the tariff issue in the country, not the cities. A lithographic portrait of Mr. Tarsney accompanies this sketch. In personal appearance lie is of rather slender build, slightly above the average height, and quick4n action. He is impetuous, and when his mind is made upo on any subject requiring his attention, moves promptly. In debate lie is courteous, but strikes boldly from the shoulder, and never quails in the presence of an enemy. Early in political life lie acquired the sobriquet of the "Young Lion of the Saginaw l)emocracy," and it still adheres to him. Socially Mr. Tarsney has few equals, his ready Irish wit and apt repartee winning hosts of admir era. In business lie is the soul of honor, always fulfilling every obligation imposed upon him, and in a business as well as social sense few mren of his years have achieved greater success. lie is the soul of kindness and generosity. While in Isabella County it was not at all unusual for him to speqd time and money in fighting cases for poor people where there was no prospect of remuneration.

A decided stand was neeessry regarding the site of the Government building. Parties interested in real estate endeavored, for personal advantage, to change the location. The matter of bridges over the Saginaw River, making closer and more intimate connection between the parts of the city, is another subject upon which an impartial and unbiased decision was made by Mr. Weadock. Public improvements have been pushed during Mayor Weadock's term of office, and many innovations have been made upon old methods. Brick pavement that ha3 proved so economical and satisfactory wherever tried has been introduced, and several blocks already laid. Sewers and water mains have been extended, sidewalks built and the fire limits more closely defined, greater efficiency and skill been developed in the police force, new Iapl)aratus and electric appliances introduced into the fire department, and the care of the poorl more economically and efficiently administered. While Mayor, Mr. Weadock found it necessary to investigate the office of the Police Court Clerk, and when the investigation was completed, tlhe condition of the office was such that Mayor Weadock insisted upon the resignation of the Police Court Clerk. Mr. Weadock also found it necessary to prefer charges against the City Clerk,which charges, after. a vigorous defense, were sustained, and the Clerk removed from office. After his removal, he insisted upon retaining the office, when he was removed therefrom, under the direction of Mayor Weadock, by the Chief of Police. Mr. Weadock believes that a public office is a public trust, and that no man should accept an office unless he intends to perform its duties faithfully and efficiently, and should he be guilty of malfeasance or misfeasance in office, he should be removed, irrespective of personal or party considerations. In all these various features of municipal adyVncement and government, every precaution hlas been exercised that it may not prove burdensome to:hoee for whom the municipal government exIt, The tax-payer has ever been in mind, and where possible and the best interests of the city eooserved, it has been deemed advisable to defer making improvements. The spirit was strikingly manifested by Mayor Weadock in his address to the Council, recommending that paving of all cross streets, not main thoroughfares, be deferred until a majority of the property-owners affected should petition for such improvements. In all these varied interests Mr. Weadock has been deeply and directly interested, and every official act and pri. vate utterance has hut shown his loyalty to Saginaw,and without fear or favor, regardless of politcal consequences, lie has done in every instance what his judgment, formed only after thorough investigation, approved, andi what the best minds of the city itself have since acknowledged was for the city's best interest and well-being'. In his home life our subject is lall)pp. as so upright and honom'bie mani deserves to be. He was married September 16, 1878, at Saginaw, to Miss Annle E. Tal.llrey, sister of the lon.. '. arsley. The lady was born in llillsdale County, this State, l)ecember 27, 1856, and prior to her marriage she was a very successful teacher. Eight children have brightened and gladdened their home, viz: Louis T., George L eo, John Vincent, Bernard IFraliis, Mary Louisa, Joseph,Jerorme, Cathlerine Elizabeth and Raymond Isadore. Mr. Weadock and family are identified with St. 1Mary's Catholic (Church. ~[ YMAN G. WILLC()X, Postmaster of Bay () City, gives Ihis attention wholly to his ottij^ cial duties, although by profession lie is a lawyer, aid his success in that direction is already assured. lie has resided in this place since 1884, and is one of the most public-spirited and enterprising of the citizeiis who have contributed to the prosperity of the Saginaw Valley. A native of Oakland County, this State, he is the son of L. J. Willcox, who settled in ()akland County in 1821. At tlat time the surrounding coluntry was nothinl o more tlhan a wilderiness, and it required years of painstaking effort to bring the soil to a first-class condition. The mother of our subject bore the maiden name of Hopey Green and was the daughter of James PORTRAIT AND I310GRAPIIICAL RECORD. 789 Green, an early pioneer of Oakland County. Mr. Willcox, Sr., came hither from (neida County,N.Y., by way of Canada, on foot, carrying his rifle in his hand, and made settlement in A von Township, ()akland County, where for manlly years he was one of the leading business men. lie was a mill owner and falrmer as well as a large huyer of grain in Oakland and adjoining counties. For many years lie continuied in the milling business, but sold his mill somlle years before his deatli anld retiled to his farm, which comprised six hundred acres. lie was not a politician in the sense of being all office-seeker, although lie served as Supervisor and in other local offices. ITis wife passed away in 1834, hut he survived until the summer of 1885. lyman (. Wiillcox is of patriot bloodl, his ancestors having fought ill tlie Rcvolution and the War of 1812. le was educated in the pullic schools, and at the academy of Romeo, andl was a studentt in Ilamiitoin College, at (linton, N. Y., from which lie was graduated with tile degree of 1,l. B. After that he establislhed himself for the practice of his profession in D)etroit, where hle remlained until tlhe breaking out of tlhe war. Ile then raised a comllpaly of oiie hundred and fifty Ilmell of which lie was commissioned ('aptaii. ()n being incorlporated with the Thirld Cavalry, his regineit was se i t inito training at St. Louis, Mlo., and thence to New Madrid (Mo.), Island No. 10, from which place they were dispatched t1o Pittslbulr Landing and Shilol. With his reginlelnt Capt. Willcox took part in the siege of (orinth, after lwhich lie went into AlaIamna, and at Tuscumbl)ia was put in comimnandl of his regiment, taking part in the battles of Iluka and orinthl. In the snummer of 1862 lie was promoted to be Major, and with Gell. G(rallt's army wenti dowIn through Mississippi to Granada. Ilis soldiers occupied Oxford, where lie was applinted 'lrovost-Marlshal. At tle close of that campaign his regiment was ordered to Tennessee, and spent tlie winter of 1862-63 in that State, being engaged in frequent skirmishes. While encamlped near Jacksonl, Tenn., in March, 1863, an incident occurred of considerable interest to the parties immediately concerned, and showed the bright and practical side of the American character, even wllen engaged in civil strife. G. 1). Penn, the Rev. Mr. Harris, J. Hall and Mr. Pinkston, (the last two were subsequently killed by the Confederates,) residents of Lexington, lienderlson County, Tenn., called upon Maj. Willcox at his camp, and after a friendly.conversation with him on general topics, relating to the condition of the county, one of them remarked: "Maj. Willcox, could our peopl1 be made to see the condition of affairs as youl do, we think it would lead to a more friendly feeling. A f(w days afterward the following correslsndence took place: LEXINS(;'ON, 'TENN., March 28, 1863. MAJ. WIVllcox: DEAR Smi:-After consulting several citizens in this vicinity, I found it met the approbation of all, that you should address them, aind, thereupon, Thursday, April 2, 1863, was fixed upon for you to do so, and was Eo plublished throughout the coulunty.

I accept your invitation, not as a compliment to myself, lut as an ilndication of patriotism, and an earnest desire oi y!our part, to mitigate the calamity of this terrible war, and reconcile citizens, wh'o are now in opeln conlict with each other. I will lend my tongue as readily as my sword for the good of the cause; and I desire all, irrespective of political olinioins, to be present, and assure you no person conducting himself peaceably at the meeting, whatever may be his sentiments or position, wlether lie be a Confederate soldier or a Union main, shall be molested, but will be permitted to depart as freely as he conies. Let us have a good old-fashioned citizens' meeting, without an element of war about it. Your fellow-citizen, L. G. WILL(OX. Western Tennessee was then being overrun by both Union alnd Confederate soldiers, and a novel expedition of the kind prolosed was attended with considerable hazard. But after getting permission from the D)epartment Commander the invittion was accepted, and although Maj. Willcox was ad 790 PORTRAIT AND BIOGRAPHICAL RECORD. vised by Gen. Kimball, then in command, to take a large force with him, he went to Lexington, a distance of twenty-eight miles, with ain escort of only eight men, and addressed a large meeting composed of Southern citizens, some of whom wore the Confederate uniform. The result of the meeting was the development of an earnest Union feeling in that section and the organization of a [tnioni fote in West Tennessee. Twenty-four days later, April 26, Lieut. Bingham, a brother-in-law of the Major, was killed on the same road, a few miles out from Lexington. From Jackson the regiment made regular cavalry expeditions through Mississippi. On the expiration of their term they came home, then re-organized and returned to the field of battle. In the fall of 1864, on account of the failure of his health, our subject resigned his position, and returned to Detroit to resume his law practice. Soon afterward he was appointed Register of the United States Land Office at Traverse City, which )osition he held until 1870, when on accountof sickness in his family they made a trip to California. In the meantime, in connection with E. L. Sprague. lie had established and edited thle Traverse Bay Eagle. He served one term as prosecuting attorney nnd Circuit Court commissioner for Antrim County. For several years he was a correspondent for the Western Rural, Chicago Tribunc, and other publications, and has always been a strong, forcible writer. After the return of the family from California, Mr. Willcox practiced for a time at Pontiac until he was appointed Receiver of public moneys at Detroit. In the summer of 1885, lie assumed the position of editor of the Bay City Tribune, and located here at that time. For onc year lie continued his editorial work, and was soon afterward appointed Assistant Prosecuting Attorney for fay County, in which position he served for two years. Soon after the expiration of his term of oflice he was appointed Postmaster of Bay City. His popularity is shown by the fact that the committee appointed by the member of Congress from this district,to designate the choice of the people, voted unanimously for Maj. Willcox among thirteen applicants. He assumed charge of the office in May, 1889, with a commission for a full term, dating from January 8, 1890. The post-office now has a force of twenty-one sub-workers, and to the oflice lie devotes his whole attention. Mrs. Willcox, whose maiden name was Azuhah Bingham, was prior to her imarriage, a resident of Detroit, and is the mother of two children, G(eorge B., who assists his father in tlie post-ollice, and Minnie BI. The various members of the family are identified with the First l'resbyterian Church, of Bay City. The Major has been Commander of IDick Richardson Post, No. 1 47, (. A.

Among the prominent 9) citizens of Saginaw who claim Germany as / their Fatherland, none holds a higher place 3 in the esteem of the community or has been msre prosperous than the subject of this sketch. In sil uie store, which occupies a building three stories high, fronting on two of the principal streets of the city, he carries a large and varied stock of furniture and carpets, and his establishment is considered to be one of the largest and best conducted of any in that line in Northern Michigan. His large experience in the business and his reputation as an honest dealer have given hlim a high standing in comnmercial circles and secured him an excellent p):tronage. Mr. Feige was born in Hesse-Cassel, Gelrmnany, Jalnuary 1, 1838, and is the son of Engelhardt Feige. In 1847 his parents with their family emigrated to the Un ited States lan di ng in New York City where they remained until 1853, the father being engaged in the furniture business. In the latter year they removed to Palmyra, N. Y., where they spent one year and in 1854 came to Saginaw, where Mr. Feige, Sr., started in the furniture business on Water Street, afterward removing to Genesee Street, and in 1861 sold out to iH. C. Silsbee. In the fall of 1863 the father having retired from business, it was carried on by the sons under the firm name of Feige Bros. Inl 1865 they bought out 11. C. Silsb(e and continued in business until 1872, when their trade had grown to such proportions that they were obliged to mlove to a larger place. They rented the large doluble store forlmerly occupied by Berry & Sons, and lremained in that place until 1890 wlen they took possession of their present (Iiiarters in the Savings Bank building on the corner of Genesee and Cass Streets and which was erected by the old firm of Feige Bros. in 1872. From 1868 the business was conducted by the three brothers-Henry, Ernest and George Feige. Henry Feige, the subject of this sketch, passed his school days in New York City and on leaving school assisted his father in the store until the breaking out of the Civil War, in 1861, when he enlisted in Company F, First Michigan Infantry.

We here present a life sketch of the President of thle Saginaw Hardware Company. lle was born in Prussia, Germany, not far from Berlin, April 13, 1825, and his father was Felix Achard. Tie mother, Emitie Miller, like her husband, never came to this country but spent her life in the Fatherland. They had only two children, a son and a daughter, our subject's sister bearing the name of Francisca. Anton W. passed his school days in the country up to the age of seventeen years, and afterward as a journeyman visited different cities for two years. He then attended for one year the College of Architecture, after which he was apprenticed to to the carpenter's trade for three years. lie also hal some experience as a gardener, spendling his winters in the Architectural office of the Government In 1848, during the Revolution, Mr. Achard was in tRathenow and took part in military affairs, and this led him to decide to leave his native home and eouae to the United States. He landed in New York il August, 1849, and at once came West and loate: near Saginaw, where he carried on farming for two years upon forty acres. lIe then went to Saginaw and began contracting and building, following that business until 1863, and putting luI many imnportant buildings, such as the Burrows Bank building, be.sides many private dwellings. In 1863 he went to Toledo, ()Ohio, to take charge of a nursery for Peter Lank. After remaining there one year lie returned to Saginaw and engaged in erecting brick houses, and for eighteen months was engaged in superintending thle Wayne (ounty Salt Works. In 1865 Mr. Achard forlmed a partnerslip with William Seyffardt iuder the firm name of Seyffardt & Achard and embarked in the hardware buisiiness and continuce until 1871, carrying on the business in Niagara Street. In February of that year the firmi was dissolved bv muitual consent and the stock was divided, Mr. Achard stocking a store on 11aimilton Street and continuing alone for two years until lie formied a partnelrship with Emiil Schocenelberg, with the lirlm namei( of Achard & Schoeneberg. After six )cars of harmonious co opleration the partnership was dissolved, our stub ject buying out tle interest of his partner. For two year. lie carried on tihe business alone, after wlich lie took his eldest son, Ermil F., into the concern, establishing the liii of Achlard & Son. In 1882 he erected a building for the accommodation of the business, covering 6()x153 feet, two stories in height and a basement, all of which is devoted to the hardware business. The business of our subject was in 1884 lmade into a stock comripany, and on this reorganization Mr. Achard was made President; William Seyffardt, Secretary, and Emil F. Achard, Treasurer, and with this official management the business is growing in enterprise and extent, so that they now keel) tlhree men upon the road. Anton W.

BENHAM. Ourl subject is assistant freight agent on tile Michigan Central Railroad and is stationed at Bay City, having charge of the Third Division from Detroit to Mackinaw and from Jackson to Bay City. Mr Benham was born in Ft. Atkinson, Jefferson County, Wis., and is a son of William II. and Lucy M. (Wriglt) Benham. Ills father was a native of Vermont where his grandfather, Silas, was a fanner and our subject's maternal grandsire built the first frame house in that part of Wisconsin where William L. was born. William 1. Benham came West when twentyone years old and engaged in farming and stockraising until a few years ago when lie removed to Cedar Rapids, Neb., where he is now a successful ranchman. Our subject's mother is a native of Massachusetts and her father, William Wright, was a pioneer at Ft. Atkinson, Wis., where he devoted himnself to farming. lIe was a devoted churchman of the Baptist persuasion, and at the time of his decease in 1861, was greatly mourned by the best people of the community. Of a family of three children, oul subject is the eldest. As his school days approached he was sent to the primary and grammar schools and finally finished at the Ft. Atkinson High School. He remained home until fourteen years of age, when he began studying telegraphy at Oshkosh, and when fifteen years old was appointed operator at Fond du Lac in the Commercial office. Later he was with the Chicago & Northwestern Railroad at Ohikosh, spending one wintel there as clerk and operator, and was promoted to chief ticket agent. In 1875 he left the Northwestern Road and located at I)etroit, being chief clerk in the Commercial agent's office of the Michigan Central, and shortly afterward was made freight agent of the Michigan Central. In ()October, 1886, Mr. Benllam came to Bay City as assistant general freight agent of the division above mentioned, and he has now the charge anad responsibility of the entire business as conducted froml this loint. He has a pleasant residence, which is located at No. 1009 Niithl Street at the corner of Farragllt. The domestic life of our subject is brightened by his wife, to whom hle was married in Jackson. She was a Miss Mary L. Root and was born in Jackson. She was the mother of two childreni, whose names are Robert R. and Winwright. 'The family have been reared in the bcl ief of thie P'resbyterian Church, of which they are consistent, members.

Our subject was born in IBedolf, Canada, November 15, 1851, and his parents, William and Hannah (Flannery) Kain both aborn in (County Tippcrary, Ireland, came to America in 1848. They died before this son was ten years old, and lie was thus throwii upon the world, without the love or protection ot a parent.

Its wide fireplace and uncomfortable slab benches were more conspicuous features than any brilliancy of scholarship, although some of the brightest men of the present generation were educated in these same schools. I-is principal associates were the Indian children and with them and his father lie was lalgely engaged in hunting, and has a record of having killed during one fall seventy deer, besides bears andl' other game. His father was a notorious hunter and trapper and James spent more time with him that with his brothers. IHe also helped him clear the ftari and lived at home until twenty-six years of age, when his father gave him thirty acres of fand, on which was a fine sugar-bush. To this lie added until he was the owner of eighty acres. Our subject carried on mixed farming, making a specialty of fruit-growing and market gardening. He brought to his home, June 12, 1856, his bride, who was thereafter his able counselor and helper. Before her marriage she was Miss lane M. lliesrodt, a native of Monroe County, N. Y., antd born Jan uary 31, 1840. She still lives on the homestead and successfully manages her farm. She is a daughter of John M. and Elinor liesrodt, both natives of New York, though. of Gernman desccent. 'They reared six children: Peter S., William; James N., who was killed at Pittsburg Landing during the Rebellion; Jane, Ellen M. and Mary E. The father wvs a machinist by trade and a farmer by calling. IHo came to Saginaw County in 1854 and died l)ecember 26, 1891, aged eighty-two years. Mrs. Swarthout has a family of four children, whose names are: William J., who is a farmer of Gratiot County; Arthur H. is a lawyer and practieing his profession in Saginaw; Cora E., Mrs. McLelland, and Mary Romola. The last named is a graduate of Alma College, having previously been graduated from the High School of the city. She is now a teacher in the fifth-grade school of the city. The beautiful place which the family now occupy is the result of the efforts of our subject, who prior to his death had thoroughly improved his farm and where he had erected a fine frame house that is tastefully and comfortably furnished. The liouse stands in the midst of a spacious lawn which is beautiful with rare trees and shrubbery. Ilis widow feels that no other place would he home to her as this is so closely associated with tier ihusband's career. Mr. Swartlout was a man to whom home was paramount, and lie was kind ad a ffectionate to wife Iand family and helpful to all who needed wordl of sympathy or encouragement. In his church relations lie was a Methodist and had lleld the office of Steward for many years. Ilis widow is also a imember of that church. He was a Republican in lolitics. For a year previous to his demise Mr. Swarthout was nrlnable to (1o active work and that was a record of such patience and suffering as only it noble and good man could endure. He died lanuary 15, 1, 80, aid received thie highest trilbutes from t;he press of the day. _.-..... I'lIREl) '.

Inl September, 1881, Mr. Coryell camle to Chessaing and has since built up a good banking business. Beginning in a smlall wooden building. lie did a very moderate amount of business at first and (lid his own printing on a hand press; lie also carried a line of insurance comlpanies, and slowly worked up a business which now arnounts to the ihandling of $1,000,000 yearly. The Bank of Saginaw and Hanover National Bank in New Yorlk have been his correspondents from the first. besides which there are over a hundred banks in Europe, on an' of which drafts can be issued payable in the moneiy of the country on which it is drawn. Mr. Frank T. Sheldon las been associated with Mr. Coryell since January 1, 1888, as Cashier, and has done much to make the hank popular and successful. In 1884 a handsomee brick blnk buildiing was erected, having large French-plate glass front, while the interior wood work is natural pinle and oak trimmed with black walnut, tle counter having panels of curly yellow pine, shipped by express direct from Texas for use in this building.

J., and were shipped in pieces for a Russian railroad. They left New York il December, 1875, on the steamer " Celtic," and, arriving in Liverpool, went to Calais, France, thence by rail to Odessa via Brussels and Cologne. They were until May, 1876, linishing the contract, and pn the return trip passed through Vienna, Munich and Strausburg to Calais, and at Liverpool embarked on the vessel "Lord Clive," arriving at Philadelphia, where they spent one week at the Centennial Exposition. On his return to Paterson, he severed his connection with the Grant Locomotive Works and came west to Michigan, being employed in the Michigan Central Railroad shops at Jackson. Later lie was promoted as gang foreman, and in May, 1885, came to West Bay City in the capacity of Master Mechanic of tlhe Mackinaw division. Socially, Mr. Ryan is a member of tile Royal Arcanum, and religiously is a conscientious Catholic, being a member of St. Mary's Church. lte is a man greatly esteemed by his fellow-men, and is greatly interested in all measures tending to the uplifting of his community. j EV. WILLIAM WALLA(CE LYIlE, A. MI., pastor of the First Congregational (Church of Bay City, has served in that connection since 1880. Not only is he a fine speaker, able alike to interest and instruct his congregation; but he is also well known as a writer, and his "Lights and Shadows of Army Life" portrays in a forcible manner the hardships und pleasures of the camp. During the late war he was a chaplain in the army and served as surgeon on the battlefield, although he was never commissioned in that capacity. He corresponded for a number of Eaastern papers during those dark days of civil warfare, and has evinced on all occasions his deep and patriotic love of this country, his adopted home. Mr. Lyle was born in Paisley, Scotland, December 31, 1828, and is a son of Alexander Lyle and his wife Margaret Wallace. He belongs to an old Scotch family, the members of which trace their lineage to the lord Lyles of Ducal Castle in Renfrewshire. Both the father and girandfather of our subject bore the name of Alexander and were manufacturers of shawls in Paisley during the years when that ancient city became so famrous for the products of its looms. Although belonging to the old Covenanter stock and holding foudly and sacredly to the memory and traditions of their fore-fathers, they became liberal enough to join the "oldlKirk," and at the disruption, became connected with the Free Church. Each survived to a good old age. 'lle maternal grandfather of our subject was Alexander Wallace, of Paisley, who was a man of considerable wealth and for many years a manufacturer of shawis. It is one of the traditions of the family tlat it is descended from the same stock as that of Sir William Wallace, so celebrated in Scottish history. )Our subject was one of three child(ren who grew to maturity, the others being Margaret and Elizabeth, the lattter of whom married into lte (oates family and resides in Paisley. Young,yle enjoyed excellent opportunities for education in his early days, having begutil tie study of languages when ten years old under private tutors as well as in the academiies of his nlative town. lemoving to Glasgow he continued his classical and philosophical studiies under tlie professors for which thatt city is so famous. When Mr. Lyle calme to America in 1818 tlhe anti-slavery agitation had commenced and without iiiuch thought of the consequences, socially and financially. lie joined tile ranks of the then wellhated Abolitionists and became identified with tlhe American Missionary Association which had pronounced against human slavery. He served as i minister of tlle Gospel in l'ennsylvanlia. ()hio and New York, organizing many churches and doinii genuine pioneer work as a honie missionary. At the time the war broke out lie was the pastor of:i prominent anti-slavery church in Troy, ()hio. which was made up of different denominations. In January, 1862, the Rev. Mr. lyle received the commission of Chaplain in the Eleventh ()hio Infantrl from Gov.

In 1880 Mr. Lyle accepted a call to the First Congregational Church of Bay City and here lie has built up a prosperous congregation. lie is ('haplain of the U. S. Grant Post, No. 67, G. A. R., and is a true-blue Republican in his political belief. He has made several trips to Europe and came nearly suffering shipwreck while ol the ocean in the famous cyclone of 1588. It was about 1865 that he wrote and published his hook, "LIights and Shadows of Army Life," of which three editions have been brought out, but the last edition was destroyed by tire, which entailed severe loss upon the author, so tllat the few copies whic(h are left are now held very precious. The marriage of Mr. L yle to Miss Margaret Adam, a native of Lanarkshire, Scotland. took place in Glasgow in 1848. 'They are the parents of seven children, namely: MIararet, now MIrs. E. M.

In 1888 Mr. Little organized what is known as the Michigan Building & LoLa Association League, which is now in successful operation, and in which he has served as a member of the Exeecutive (Conmittee for tile past few years, and is now V\icePresident. During that time lce has taken an active part in receiving and giving suggestions for the passage of certain acts by the Legislature to protect the stockholders and further the interests generally of these associations. At the present time IMr. Little is still further engaged in a new feature of tlle Building & Loan Insurance, the object of which will be more apparent at a later date. For the last four years Mr. little has written largely for Building and Loan Association papers, on topics that engross the attention of all interested in co-operative home building, and through a local publication called the Ioime Buildler, has been enabled to educate the citizens of Sagiiitiw ls to the benefit of these associations, to the extent that his association is the largest in the State of Michigan. Mr. Little was married in 1884, to Miss Leon I.. Kemp, of Pittsburg, Pa., tile daughter of,John ('. Kemp, and granddaughter of John R. Sankey, now deceased, who was an uncle of Sankey the evanlgelist. They hlavea son and dauglhter. Politically he is a Demoerat, but takes no active part in politics, holding indepenldent ideas. l WILLIAM GAFFNEY. Our subject has been a resident of Bay County since 1856. He was born in County Meatli, Ireland, May 29,1845, and is a son of William and Mary (White) Gaffney. His parents came to this country when our subject was but a small child and located at Brighton, Livingston County, Mici. Inl 1856 they went to Williams Township, where the father bought a farm in the wilderness, being one of the first settlers in that section of the country. William Gaffney has since cleared up this Illace and made it a comfortable hoime. ()ur subject aciquired his education in tihe district schools il the vicinity of his home and in tlthe Iligh Schooll at Flint from which lie gralduatedt in 1861, and after that lie began farllinig, buying a tract of land in Monitor T'owinship, Bay Counity. This he cleared up and improved one Ilhundred and twenty acre'e. It I'as plroved to be a most valuable tract of land and is now I >cited only three and one-half miles fromi Bay City. lie still owns it and takes great pride in its excellent condition. Aside from his farmiing interests our subject was engaged in the insuraince business, and was Superintendent of Schools until the chantige of law creating the office of (ountyt Commissioner. lie was also Supervisor for twelve years in the township of Monitor. lie has always been a Democrat tand in 1882 was elected County Clerk. lie held the office for four terms, or until the fall of 18(90, and dulring his tenie c gave satisfaction to the county and filled tile position with credit to himself. ()O tile expiration of his terni of oflice lie was engaged in looking after his farmt, atnd is now Secretary of the IBoard of Stone Road (ommissioners. The following statistical report, taken from the records of thle county will show tlie high stand tlat Mr. Gatffney has taken ill the plublic estimation. In the election of 1882, with three tickets ill tile ficld, Mr. (afflley won by a plulrality of three hundred aidseventy-onle votes. In 1884 with four tickets in the field there was a phlllality of thirteen hundred and forty-one; ill 1886, the plurality was thirteen hundlred and twentv-eight, andt in 1 88 it was fiftee(i hundre d ainl eighty-seven. IMr. ( affne 's beautiful farml is further mtade interesting tecaucse of the fine stock which is lupon it. IIe pays particular attention to the raising of Short-horn cattle, and his registered stock includes such anilmals as "Mloss llose, 4th," which took the sweep stake hpremium for dairy stock at thle State Fair at Lansing for two consecutive years. Ile has the only herd of Short-horn cattle ill the county, and is justly proud of these tine animals. Our subject was married to Miss Kate Conroy of Bay City, September 15, 1879.

AMUEL N. SHATTUCK. Although one naturally expects to findl success and Ilore marked results among the older agriculturists, it is a noteworthy sigin when young blood is infusing its advanced ideas in an agricultural comnunity. Our subject is one of the most progressive and consequently prominent young farmers of Saginaw Township. lie is a son of one of the first settlers who encountered the dtificulties to be met with in a new country, anid especially of this latitude. Mr. Shattuck lives on the homestead farm on section 12, where lie was born June 18, 1852. HIe is a son of Samuel Shattuck, a ina e tive'of Lower Canada, there born September 27, y 1811. Samuel Shattuck, Sr., settled in Vermont, I where lie resided Iuntil 1836, and then came to 11 Michigan and entered a tract of (Government land.comprising one hundred and sixty acres, which o was heavily wooded. Our subject's fathler penetrated to his claim by r chopp)ing his way through the forest. lie settled - monlg the Inldiins and built:a log cabin. The family larder was supplied, to a large degree, by s his gun and traps. Iie soon erected one of the - first gristmills that was raised in the county and s had the patronage of all the residents for miles f around. This mill was operated until 1883. Tlhe D village of Shattuckville was named in honlor of t tils early pioneer. He was a hard-working, clearf sighted and ambitious mnan. lie cleared andl ilm-, proved a fine farm, and with a glreat deal of enterlprise helped to lay out roads and in other ways added to the improvements of the locality. lie held at various times most of the townsllip ottices. being an ardent l)emocrat ini his political faith. is decease occurred Ma.y 4, 1882, the mother's death MaNy 7. 1881. ()ur subject's lmother was prior to her marriage Catlerine Beach, a native of New York. She l; prsented her husband with five children, only two of whom lived to maturity-William, who is now l)eputy County C lerk, and Salmuel, our subject. lie of whoim we write attended the district school isn his boyhood and had the advantage of three months at the Bryant & Stratton's lBusiness College at l)etroit. He has always lived on the satime place and at his marriage, which was solemrnized Septcmber 27, 1876, lie brought his young bride, Anna Lowe, to tie old home. She is a ('aniadian and was born October 27, 1854. They are the parents of four c(hildren —Edna S., Willard, (Iertrude iand Guy. Mr. Shattuck is the owner of two hundired and seven acres of tine land. It is all uInder cultivation with the exception of twenty-five acres. lHe | here devotes hiiseif to mixed farming.

It was in December, 1865, that iMr. Brenner returned to Saginaw, and soon after lie was appointed Marshal of the city. The following year he was employed in the shingle mill of Bturlhlln m & Still, and in the fall was appointed 'ITrnkey.under Sheriff Ienry Miller. A year later lie was appointed Deputy Sheriff, and in 1869 was elected Constable, holding that office continuously until 1876. In April, 1876, our stubject was elected Justice of the Peace, and was re-elected to the same oflice in 1878 and 1882. In the spring of 1890 lie was elected City Recorder for a terml of four years. It was in 1868 that Mr. Brenner was married to Miss Emiline Cook, of Birch Run, Saginaw County. This lady is a native of New York and a dalughter of John Cook. They have five children living -Fred A., Dora B., Edith M., Henry and George J. This gentleman is a member of the Germania Lodge, No. 79, F. & A. M., and also belongs to the Knights of Honor and the Maccabees. In politics he is a stanch Democrat and a hearty worker for the success of his party..,- ~. AMUEL IIENRY. When this genltleiman came to Bay City in 1854, the entire Saglnaw Valley was a wild and unllbrokenl forest, and the site of the present flourishing city was unimproved. While en route hither Mr. Henry borrowed $1(0 from a cousin and as lie arrived here with ninety-nine cents in his possession he is accustomed to say that lie was worth $9.01 less than nothing. In all the enterprises which were afterward undertaken for the (development of the resources of the Valley lie bore a prominent part and became widely known as one of the most influential and energetic of tile early settlers. Among other improvements in which Mr. Henry aided was the laying out and grading of South Center Street and ie had great difficulty in getting that thoroulglhfare olpened oln accoulnt of the opl)osition of somie of his neiglhbors. (On section 3, l'ortsmouth Townshipl, Bay (ouantv, he )purchased a farm of one hundire(td nd sixty acres and upon it lbuilt a blar in.5-)x75 feet iin dimenlsion s, which brolughlt upol lihimi the ridicule of less enterprising peoplel, who told himl that his laund would nuever produce enolugh to till it. Ilowever, tinime proved the wisldoni of his cutrse, for not only was that t)ar11 filled with botuntiful crops but lie was obliged to erect three or four barns ill addition. The attention of the reader is invited to a view of the fine farm bhelonging to )M. Hlenry and by him brlolght to its present high cultivation. Its fertility may be i lnferred frorm the fact that his lia cropl averliges from two iand one-lhalf to three tons per acre. and tuiriing 189-) lie raised fourteen lhunldred btushelts i-)f wheat, one tlhousand bushlels of oats, and five hunldred tbuslels of co rnI. Ilis barns and sheds.ire in the form of a rectangle, providing a co.mnfortable place of shelter in tile center. Ilis grlairl -rn is t50xl i) feet, with posts twenty-two feet in height, and there is no barn in tlle Saginiaw Valley which excels it in conveniencen and solidity. IMr. IHeniry was bornl in Tyrone Counnty, Ireland, (ctober 22, 1828, and there passedi his youth, learninu to operate a grist mill and working at that trade for three years. Iils father. lames, was aI farmer, and his mnother, who bore tlhe naiden ninite of Marthla larimer, was of iScotclh dlescent. hlelr ancest;ors lItving settled in the North of Iteland durilngt tile perseculiolns in Scotland. Ilis m1atc1ernal griandftather, Iolcr't larinumer, was a wellto-do fartmer, who raised the best stock in the county wlhere lie lived.

Milton, Barnettand F. T. Mayberry, and later took a course of lectures in Albany Medical ('ollege and also at the Geneva Medical College, where he graduated in 1856. Ilis scholarship was of so high an order that in his early mlanhood'he was offered ant accepted a professiolnshlip in Hobart College, at (evena, N. Y. The breaking out of the Civil War was the immediate cause of his resignation of that lucrative position, ill order that he might serve his coluntry on the battle field. In due time he was commissioned filrst assistant surgeon of the Tenth New York Cavalry and w-as assigned to the Army of the Potomac. As the reward of faithful discharge of duties, lie was )promoted to be surgeon of the Fifty-lirst New York Infantry, alsa serving as Brigade Surgeon and acting Medical Director. Close attention to his professional labors anl d exposure brought on an attack of typhoid fever in 1864 and it was three months before I)r. Bliss was able to resume to work. At the (lose of the war he was in charge of the field hospital of the Ninth Army Corps, after which lie was placed in charge of a hospital at Alexandria, Va.. where ie remained until he was mustered out of service in August, 1865. From the field of battle lie proceeded to Michigan, locating in Saginaw C(ity in September, 1866, and commencing tile practice of medicine which lie still continues. As a physician he enjoys'a lucrative )ractice and is foremiost among the practiotlers of lthle Saginaw Valley, while as a business man he possesses abilities of noT ordinary character. Forseeing the vast importance of lumblering interests in this State and the great future of pine, the )octor established the firm of A. T'. Bliss & Bro., purchasing the old.erome mill in 1868. which they rebuilt. From a small beginning their business grew to an enormous magnitude until a few years ago when the property w:s placed in hands of the l)octor's sons,,. W. and E.I. T. e lumber operations of the firm of A.T'. 'iiss & Bro. are chiefly carried on in Gladwin and Clare Counties, where they run two camps of about fifty men each, and also lumber through several joblwers. They still own and operate the fine mill at Carrollton, which gives elmployment to a force of mlore than one hundred men and finlds a ready market in tlhe principal cities of the East. Their sawmill, which is one of tle largest on tile river, is equipped witl a live lhundred horse-power engine ' t battery of five large boilers, and a sirtaller one of two boilers for the salt works. T'he products of thie mill atlnonmt to nearly thirty million feet of lumber. which lie )banked each season, and the mill iandi salt works cover an area of abolut twenty-five acres of grounlld. lAnother enterprise which engages Dr. Iliss's attention is tile James Stewart Collrpany: of which hie is l'resident. Tlhat libusiness was originally started tvy ames Stewart in 1872 and continued biy hii until 1882, wlhen the present corporation was formiedi. Thle oilice andl salesrioom of tlhe compalny conisist of a: large two-story building, 2(1(x1l()() feet in dimenisions, with first-class shipping facilities, in alddition to whichl tlie firmn lhas a feed mill 16(tx25 feet. on North Waiter Street; a feed warehouse 20Otx20 feet, and othler warehouses for pork, hlour, tobacco and general merchlandise, covering (i(xl()(1 andl 60x75, feet respectively. They (arry an enormous stock and are especially known as importers of teas, which comprise the finest qualities ever brollght t o tile Valley. Their extensive business tllroiughou(t thie cotinrty as well as in various portions of the State, requires a large force of clerks besides several tr veling men. The standing of the corparny is of the hilghest and their reliable dealings secure for therm rin immernse lpatronr:ge. The l)oetor is also a stockholder in several enterl)rises besides the Jarmes Stewart ('ompany. Ilis abilities have been called into requisition by his fellow citizens who bestowed upon him the highest gift within their power, thle Mayoralty. In that office lie served three years. and his efforts were directed with success toward checking all useless exl)editure of lpublic moneys as well as introducingl into the city every inprovement calculated to advance its growth. B. liss was married July 1, 1858, to Miss Mary Jerome of 'omt kins County, N. Y., and they are the parents of four children, three living, lnamrely: Anna M., now Mrs...1. B..

Besides this farm of two hunllred and forty acres, lie has had property in East S.aginaw, of which hIe has sold a l:trge lnumlber of lots and where they have erected a uimnher of buildings, one of which is the Reed Hotel. Ile has traded 'a good deal in lands both in city and coiuntrI. and has gained much in that way. John Creen was exactly three older than his brother James, our subject, and was 'a New Yorker by birth. IIe entered Company 1, Eig-hteenth Michigan Infantry and dlid service iunder Gens. Granger and Rosecrans in Kentucky and 'elnnessee. ITe was wounded at l)ecatnr, Ala., and for two years was obliged to walk on crutches and this serious wound always affected his health and hastened his death. His widow, who was in maidenhood Sarah McCullough, of Saginaw, survives and has two children, Nettie and John. Our subject was nmrried in lenawee County, April 15, 1872, to Miss Mary Fitzpatrick, a native of Lenawee County, who was born August 2(;, 1851. Their children are: liose, mlunes, John and Frank, who are living and thie eldest. Sanmluel Riichard, died in infancy, while Anna died at the age of three years. In politics Mr. Creen is a stanclh t )ci l rat and during the last live years not a vote was east: against him by the adherlents of either party in the Township where he resided whenl running for Su pervisor. As Drainage Cormmissioner, le at lirst met with stringent olpl)osition, but those very men finally realized the wisdom of his measures and were his best friends. As Supervisor lie assessed the lumber mills whicll had before escaped and this lightened the taxation of the farmers, while lie exempted Indians and othler poor pleole. Mr. Creen is a man of firm convictions and when once his mind is made up it is dillicult to chalnge his opinions. The family are connected with the St. Andrew's Catholic Church, of which they are tnrominent members. The loss of tile daughter so affected Mrs. Creen that it has since )teen deemed advisable to place her under treatment at the l)earlborln letreat, where she has been for five years, and this affliction is a terrible blow to Mr. Creen, detractingm greatly from tlhe domestic happiness of the family. InI social life tliis gentleman stands high in the culnty ailmong all (classes, and lie is especially lpopuul;ar with tle farming colimunity and those of the people swho are iln moderatle circumstances. i'SAAC S. IIl''CKINS, one of the oldest settlers of West Bay City, catle here in 1867 atndl established a jewelryv bunsiness. Five years later lie remioved to ('heboygan, this State, where lie was successfully engated in the same business for six years, returning frol n lthat place to lBy (City, and linally retiring after a busy life of twenty years. Ile now gives his attention to scientific bee iculture, and in his:aliary at his lomne, No. 907 Litchfieldl Street. West I:Bay City, are reared several of the finest races of uhoney bees known. Mr. 11icekins was born in Plynouthi, N. II., May 2(1, 1844. Ilis parents were of sturdy New Engl:and sto(ck nd d were Methodists in religion, wlhile the fattier adhered to the principles of the Reputllican politics. In1 his school days our subject was at neighlbor of ex-Senator llenrllrv X. l air. lie was married to Miss Maggiare '. Pre'ston, a nati-ve of lBuffalo, N. Y., and the daughrlter of Isaac Preston, a ship arlpenter, whose native home was in (Connecticut. Politically, lie was a firmi liepublican. Thi'e imotler of Mrs. lluckins was born in Irelalnd, and was reared to become a strict olllan Catholic, blut in later years she was a faithful m(niebe; of tile Metlhodist Eliiscopal (ihllurcl. Both Mr. and Mrs. P'reston died in WXVest Bay City. 'The union of IMr. and AMrs. Iluckins, whlich took ilace in 1873, ihas broulghit to them six children, namely: llanchl e '1'T., Annie I,.. Lillie AM., Martha G., Julia E. and Frank 0. 'hey are active memntbers of the Metlho(ist Episcopal Church, and tbelong to various benevolent andl temp)erance soieeties.. l.

Mr. and Mrs. Martin have two children, Anna and Freddie, and at their beautiful residence at No. 203 Washington Street, they have established a happy home, replete with the comforts and many of the luxuries of life. In connection with this brief sketch of his life, we are pleased to present the portrait of Mr. Martin. ORENZO BURROWS, M. 1). Among the prominent physicians of Saginaw may be found this gentleman, who has made the study of the eye his specialty and now devotes his whole attention to the cause and cure of the diseases affecting that most sensitive and delicate organ of the human body. Dr. Burrows was born in Albion, Orleans C(ounty, N. Y., January 10, 1867, and is the son of Lorenzo and Louise (Moore) Burrows. The father was of English descent, the family tracing their genealogy in this country back to 1641. He was born in Albion, N. Y. The mother is a native of Allegheny, Pa., the daughter of Charles H. Moore, and is also of English extraction. When our subject was six months old his parents removed to Saginaw, where they still reside and where the father carried oln banking for a number of years. Dr. Burrows gained his early education in the public schools of Saginaw, and commenced the study of medicine with l)r. 0. P. Barber. He then went to New York City, where he entered the College of Physicians and Surgeons, medical department of the Columbia College, from which lhe was graduated in 1889. Returning to Michigan, he went to Ann Arbor as assistant to Dr. Fleming Cawow, Professor of diseases of the eye and ear in the University of Michigan, which position he retained for one year. At the end of that time he returned to Saginaw and opened an office at tlhe corner of South Michigan Avenue and Cass Street where lie gives special attention to the diseases of the eye. IDr. Burrows was married in )ecember, 1889, to Miss Nellie 1,. Saunders, a daughter of Edwin Sainil ders, of East Saginaw. I'hey are the parents of two children, both daughters.. Dr. Burrows is a imeimber of the Michigan State Medical Society arnd also of the Saginaw Valley Mledical Club, and alithoulgh young in yver:s lias already made his rmiark in his chosen profession and lhas a bright flturle b( fore him. iM YRON T'.

Having thus prepared himself for taking an independent position, this young man began business for himself, in 1885, using as his capital the savings which he accumulated during the years in which he had been working for others. To his stock he has added from time to time as lie could, until he now carries a complete line, both in groceries and fancy articles, and commands a good degree of favor from the community. Mr. Cantwell was married in Chesaning to Miss Mary J. Shuttler, daughter of George Shuttler, of whom our readers will find a sketch in the pages of this R'c9>K>. Since coming to this country Mr. Cantwell has familiarized himself with the political institutions and methods of the United States and has attached himself to the Republican party, yet he is in no sense a politican and does not care for official distinction.

He got a job at San Francisco at ship building and was employed at the navy yard at Mare Island for the Government, and subsequently went to the mines where he remained four years and a half in Plumas and Shasta Counties, beingl easonably successful. In 1858 lie went to Vancouver's Island on an exploring expedition and camped there three or four weeks, but subsequently came back to San Francisco and engaged at his trade. Returning home by the samIe route ill 1860, lie came to Shiawassec County, this State, and bought a farm of eighty acres which he carried on for two years and in 1864 was in the Government employ for four months, building boats on the Tennessee River. Returning to his farm lie sold it and returned to New York and on to Ihiladelphiat, and again returning to Clayton in 1866. He then detided to come to Wenona, now known as West Bay City, and engaged in building houses. Buying a blocek, he worked at his trade for Ballentine & Co.

PORTRAIT AND BlIO()CO1APIICAL RECORD Andrew Ure was a grocer in Glasgow in his youth and then embarked as a seafaring man. lie made several voyages to the Madeira islands, holding the office of Supercargo Master. Onl his last voyage, which was during the French and Indian war, his ship was heavily loaded with wine. It was fired upon by a pirate vessel and their cargo was taken and destroyed, their vessel disabled, and the crew, with two Spanish crews, was left on it without provisions. In a very short time the crew mutinied, the Captain and our subject's father, with cutlasses drove the nien below and stood guard over them for three days until they were picked up by a passing vessel. The work of a lifetime thus gone, about the year 1818 Andrew I're sailed for America and located at Hlalifax, where he was engaged in sinking wells. Later lie went to Boston and was there married to Miss Agnes Gardner. tie worked for the city on the liBoston Common and was appointed by the mayor as one of the foremen. It was at his suggestion that the artificial lake in the center of the common, known as the "frog pond" was made. He was appointed as Assistant Master of the House of Correction on Governor's Island and held the position for ten years. Andrew Ure was industrious and provident and succeeded in accumulating considerable money. In April, 1833, lie set out with his wife and four children for Ohio, expecting to there purchase a farm. They made the journey by boat across-the lake and down the Ohio River, landing near ('Chillicothe. Thence they went to Cincinnati and after traversing portions of Kentucky, Illinois and Ohio, he was attracted to Saginaw County, this State, by the glowing reports that other settlers made of the place. He came to Detroit and leaving his family there three months, proceeded to Saginaw 'Township, and purchased the farm upon which our subject now lives, settling upon it in the fall of 1833. The country was at the time above mentioned very wild and inhabited mostly by Indians and beasts of the forests. So able a man early took a prominent position among the settlers. In 1834 he was appointed one of the Associate Judges by Stephen T. Mason, Territorial Governior, and held that office several years. IIe was also County Commissioner, Township Slupervisor and( Justice of the Peace and helped negotiate the first loan made to build the first courthlouse in the county. lie was a man of imarked (characteristics and a great reader, having for that timlie quite anl extensive library. Consistent with his Scottish rearing, our subject's father was ill his religious belief a Prestbyterian. Originally in politics lie was a Democrat, of the type known as a Free Soiler and being a strong Abolitionist. later lie joined the lRepublican party, just previous to his death, which occurred inll 1857, when he was in his seventieth year. His wife, who was a Scotch lady, became the mother of five children, whose names are: Robert, Agnes, Margaret, Mrs. Banks; Mary, Mrs. McCarthy; and 'John. She, like her husband, was ia member of the 'Presbyterian Church and died at the age of eighty years. Our subject was first sent to school in Boston wlhen only three years old and later, at Ft. Warren, Governor's Island, until ten years old. TIe came tolMichigamn with his parents in 1833, walking from D)etroit to Saginaw Township and helping h is father drive the cattle along the Indian trail through the woods, and many times during the journey was he frightened by the strange and dusky faces of thle Indians. lie attended school in the old log schoolhouse to some extent, but his studies were mostly carried( oil at home. At the timse of his settlement here there were eight hundred warriors stationed ons th'e Tittabawassee li ver,which flows by his farmin, and his playmates were most frequently the Indian children. Not infrequently iigtht was imade hid(eous with tlhe howl of wolves and hlie has killed miany (leer.

IIe is a son of Duncan and Christine (AMcPherson) Ross. In 1846 D)ncarn Ross brought his family, which comprised a wife and six children, to America. They left Glasgow on the sailing vessel "Quebec" and settled in Canada, where DunLcan Ross bought a large tract of tilmber land and was engaged in lumbering and in manufacturing his products. lle improved some of the land whicli he lelared, and died in Canada in 1865 at the 'xty-three years.

Mrs. Jackson was born in Clarence, Erie County, N. Y., in 1860. In his political views Mr. Jackson is a Democrat and early in life began to manifest quite an interest in politics. In 1887 at a Democratic caucus held in the Second Ward lie was nominated for Alderman, and although he failed in getting the election, his ambition encouraged him to strengthen himself, and lie was elected in 1889. lHe showed himself then to be a worker for tile public's interest as well as for Iirnself. At the l)emocratic city con vention held last spring, Mr. Jackson was nominated for Mayor and was handsomely elected Mayor of Bay City, an honor never before accorded to a man of his age. lie belongs to the Royal Arcanum, Bay (City Club, and is a member of the Business Men's Association. OTIN PRENI)EII(,AST, who is well known as the Sheriff of Saginaw (ounty, was born in the county of Kilkenny, Ireland, in 1844. His father was at shoemaker by tirale and followed thatt calling through most of his active days, dying in Ireland as did also lis wife. When quite young their son.Jolhn crossed the occain, coming to Quebec, Canada, where lie spent his school days until lie attained his majority. In 1865 our subject came to Saginaw and went to work in the pine woods by the month, working in the forest during the winter and spending his summers in the sawmill until 1872, when he became Superintendent of the sawmill, having worked in every department where lie could be useful, thus mastering every part of the business. In the spring of 1873 lie closed his connection with the milling business and embarked in a hotel enterprise in Saginaw and from 1873 to 1885 lie carried on the Hotel Madison on the East Side. In 1886 Mr. Prendergast was elected Alderman for the NinthWard and remained an incumbent of that office for two 3ears. The shrievalty of Saginaw County was given Mr. I'Prendergast by election in 1887 and he filled this otiice very acceptably, assuming the duties thereof on the 1st of January, 1888. In 1890 he was re-elected to the same oilice on tle D)emocratic ticket. lis Imarriage, which had taken place January 2, 1872, had united him with Miss Mary, (datughter of John and Mary (Ryan) Riordaln. of Sagilaw, and they have ten children.

Mr. Holmes has contracted for and erected mrany of the finest residences in Bay City, in company with his father. They have also builded many public edifices, among theln the Michigan Central round house and railroad shops at West B:'y City. The last work they were engaged on together was the erection of the Michigan Central del)ot in Bay City. They had just started the structure when the father died and our subject completed the contract. For the last year or two he has been engaged by the Michigan Centralland l)etroit, Bay City & Alpena Railroads to do work for them outside Bay City. September 23, 1891 is the date of the marriage of Mr. Holmes to Miss Lucia Eastwood. Mrs. Holmes was born in St. Paul and is a daughter of Joseph and Julia (Dodge) Eastwood, of whlom a sketch may be found on another page in this volume. Mr. Hlolmes is a member of the Bay County Bar Association, the Board of Building Inspectors of Bay City. the Free and Acceplted Masons, the Knights of the Maccabecs a-nd the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks. Ite has been a delegate to county and State conventions in behalf of the Democratic party. In religious matters he is an active and influential member of thiQ Methodist Episcopal Church. IIe is one of the active young men of Bay City and the signs of tle times are sadly awry if his future success does not justify his friends in their anticipation. -- OUIS KOSSUTH CLARK, who is a dlruggist at Oakley, Saginaw County, was hornl at Akron, Eric County, N.

They worked at different places in New York State from whence they journeyed to Ontario, where they also worked at various places putting up the first buildings in Hamilton, Paris, Brantford, Stratford and vicinity. In 1857, the subject of this notice came to Michigan, settling first in Port Hliuron, and seven years later came to Bay City, where lie began to work at his trade which he continued until his death. lie worked as foreman for a large contracting filtr which had made several contracts in this city, putting up the Campbell House and other large brick blocks. They soon failed and of course gave up their contracts which Mr. Holmes took and completed satisfactorily and from that time became the largest contractor and building most of the first brick business blocks and also the first brick church in the city. Mr. Holmes served as Alderman of the Second Ward of the city for twelve years and was very influential, in educational matters especially, being the most active in establishing the present school system. After Mr. Holmes retired from the Board of Aldermen lie was sought by them for his advice in matters pertaining to the city's interest and they accel)ted it as best from his past successfull experience. He served as Chairman of the Board of Building Inspectors for three or four years beginning at its organization. In politics he chose to cast his vote with the Democracy. Mr. Holmes was very fond of playing chess and stood as one of the best players in the I nited States. )luring the International (Chess ''oularnaent heween the ltnited States and (Great Britain, M1r. lHolmes played folur gamles in which lie took the laurels.

'th iiisiness of stick an one is in a 960 PORTRAIT AND BIOGRAPHICAL RECORD. great measure to estimate the amount of lumber that might be cut from a given tract of forest land with the probable cost of lumbering and getting to mills. This estimate he makes in regard to lands which the company for whom lie works is expecting to buy. It takes an expert to make such computations with any degree of certainty, and such an expert is found in Mr. Savage. lie is a typical woodsman and many of his experiences read like a veritable tale of adventure but have therewith the wholesale atmosphere of verity. Our subject was born at St. Francis, Me., August 11, 1861, and is a son of John Wesley and Fannie (Hafey) Savage. The mother was a niece of the great lumberman of the St. John River, Sir John Glazier, who is now life Senator from New Brunswick in the Canadian Parliament. Hlerbert W. Savage was the youngest son in a family of ten children, nine of whom are still living, and his father was a lumberman on the Rivers St. John and St. Frances. He was the son of Robert Savage, who owned a large mill which was the first built there. he did a large lumbering business of which Sir John Glazier was the largest purchaser. When our subject was a mere child the family removed to Brock, Ontario, Canada, as the father had lost $63,000 by a bank failure and found it necessary to make a new start in order to retrieve his fortunes. About the year 1880 they came to Saginaw, where the mother died in 1886 and the father in May, 1890, removed to Saulsbury, Tex., where his son Robert is a ranchman, and whet e the father is still living. The boyhood of our subject was passed at various points in Canada and lie assisted in clearing farms there and in the lumber business until he was thirteen years old. He then went to live with his brother, the Rev. John A. Savage, of Albany, N. Y., and attended public and and select schools, and a year later became news agent on the railway. Ite was then fourteen years old. In a short time he engaged in the lumber yards and in getting out hemlock bark and making railway ties.. In this work lie continued for two years and accumulated some property. About this time his brother Edwin was shot while out hunting and lay for three hours before help came. His leg was badly shattered from knee to hip, and he lay helpless for some time; lhe now lives in Saginaw. (ur subject had always aided his plarielts in their support and they still needed his help. In the spring of 1879 Mr. Savage came to Saginaw. lie spent most of tlhe slummer at-the Tittabawassee boom alnd went with a cousin toea lumber camp, where lie served as cook for forty men. The two younig men next found work at lBig Rapids and havinlg servel mthere for several months hc sent hoime all his wages he could slpa', and tihen had only ten cents left. Our subject tllen left )Bi 1Rpids and( parted with his cousin whom he has not since seen. lie walked for sixty miles in cormpany with an old lumberman to White (loud and there secured work from the West Milhirgaln lumber (ompany, luoading anl unloading logs. WVhen he left there lie returned to a point nelar Big lalpids alld was inlade folreirmn over a intimber of nlell and continied tlhere tuntil by an:accident lie was thrownl into the river alnd experienced exposlures which resulted in typhoid fever. lle was therefore removed to Mtecosta:, where lie was sick:at the ho(mi of his uncle for a: number of weeks. After recovery IMr. Salvage retrnedl to work near jucition of tlie ('hippewa lad lMuskegonii liveri and did so well there that lie %was able to send money home that fall land thus assist his parents.

A native of Germany, Mr. Schwab was born February 16, 1843, and spent his childhood (lays in his native land, whence he accompanied his parents to this country. Here he grew to a sturdy manhood and being reared on a farm, acquired a thorough practical knowledge of agricultural pursuits.

Through the exercise of good judgment and unflagging industry, Mr. Schwab has become the owner of two hundred and twenty-nine acres of good land, of which one hundred and forty acres have been brought to a high state of cultivation and improvement. By a good system of irrigation the land lhas been redeemed from a marsh and now yields abundant harvests of the various cereals. The place has been embellished with a good set of farm buildings, including a commodious residence, substantial barns and outbuildings, and is altogether one of the best farms in the townslip.

PORTRAIT AND BIOGRAPHICAL RECORD: The sawmill proper is 60x90 feet in dimensions, and supplied with four circular saws, veneering, bottom and cover-making-machinecs, steam carriages for raising the logs, and all conveniences forsaving labor. The turning house is a two-story brick building 70x170 feet, and suipplied with seventeen large lathes, while the warehouse measures 70 x 220 feet, and is a building of two stories brick, dry-kilns 100x225 feet. The business requires the services of three hundred thoroughly competent and skilled mechanics, and employs four engines of five hundred and fifty horse power. The yearly pay roll is over *1000)(00, and the daily capacity is five thousand pails and two thousand five hundred tubs. James Potter, the forenan, has been connected with the factory since 1870, and the product of the works is in demand all through the United States. The present officers are beside our subject, the President, Charles J. Bousfield, Vice-President, and R. E. Bousfield, Secretary.

Mr. Kinnane was admitted to the bar by examination in 1889 and has been practicing for three years in Bay City, carrying on his work independently, as he has not seen fit to associate himself with a lartner. He gives his whole attention to the schools and his profession as a lawyer, and is building up a fine practice. He has also gained the esteem of the best class of the membership of the Bay County Bar, as his character and abilities have given him a strong hold upon their regard. He is also the Village Attorney for Essexville, to which position he was appointed in May, 1890, and which he has since ably filled. EANDER SIMONEAU, who is now Justice of the Peace at Saginaw, located here in December, 1864, and engaged in the drug business when there were only five drug stores in the city. In this he continued until 1883,at which time he sold out the business. In 1869 he was made a member of the School Board and in 1871 was elected Mayor on the Democratic ticket. Since that time he has served seven years as Alderman and has twice been made candidate for the mayorality, in 1882 being considered the strongest man who could be put up by his party. TIe was successful in the second campaign and in the same year was elected Register of Deeds and re-elected to his second term in 1884, and filled both offices with satisfaction to the people. IIe was re-elected to the office of mayor with a largely increased najority, and in 1888 became Justice of the Peace. Besides his official duties he has done a general real estate' business and has handled much property besides building the block at the corner of Genesee and Jefferson Streets and other business buildings. Mr. Simoneau was born at St. Nicholas, Quebec, Februtry 5, 1834, and is a son of Leon and Celeste (Demers).Simoneau, natives of Canada and of reonch parentage.

The former was a blacksmith, and died in Detroit in 1810, after which our subject remaineld with his mother until lie reached the age of thirteen, when lie engaged as a cabiun boy on a sailing vessel, continuing upon the lakes for many years. In 1853 lie bought an interest in a sniall vessel, of which he beclame Master, but in 1854 sold tlat vessel, and in comnpany with Dr. George B. Russell, built a schooner, thle "l ercules," costing some $10,000. Upon this lie became Master, and for three years carlried on a trade ulpon the lake mostly iln lumber and coal. In 1857 le sold his vessels aiid became a partner with his lbrother. Henry Simoneau, in the drug business at Detroit, remlaining with him for five years. Mr. Siimoneau had become so much of a lover of the water that he was not content ill so quiet a field as the drug business, and lie finilly boulght the schooner "Enterprise,' acnd enlgaged in sailing that and the "Darietn," 'tnd inl 186;4 sold them and bought the brig" Illair" and the schooner "P'oland.' but in the fall decided to leave the lake, and, selling these vessels, came to Saginaw. lie looks back with pleasure to those days, and can recounl t miany thrilling incidents of adventure.

ALGER, who is the Justice of I the Peace and a well-known citizen of Birch Run Township, makes his home on section 22. lIe is a native son of Michigan, and was born in Genesee County, October 2, 1845, but has made his home in Saginaw County since 1853. His parents, George W. and Arzina (Allen) Alger, were natives of the Empire State, and the father came to Michigan in 1831, being then only ten years old, and when he grew to manhood he made his permanent home in Genesee County, in what is now Burton Township. Our subject is the eldest son in his father's family, and was only eight years old when his parents, in 1853, removed to Saginaw County, where.they made their home in the woods on section 23, of Birch Run Township. His father died. in the service of his country during the Civil War. having been a member of the Twenty-third Michigan Infantry. The son received his education in the primitive schools of his native county, and of this county after coming here, and although tle course was limited and he was not given as prolonged a time of study as he desired, he availed himsef heartily of such opportunities as were his, and laid a good foundation for future study and research. This young man, like his father, felt the call of patriotic duty, and enlisted in the service of his country. In August, 1861, he joined Company C4,Fifth Michigan Infantry, which became a part of the Army of the Potomac. He was not yet sixeen years old when he took this important step, ibathe was as determined in his purpose to help maintain tile honor of the old flag as though lie were a lman of mature -ealrs. lie was inl active duty through most, of his termn of service, and was at the front (luring a gieater poirtionl of the time. IIe received his honoribleh dischlarge in.Iunle 1862, after which lie retturned to this county and resumced his life-long- occupation as 'I farlmer. Immlediately after the son's return 1 tlie fattler joined the a:rni, leaving the fam-ily in charge of younlg l)avil, and as according to our previous statement, the father never retiurned to resuime his home responisibilities, this young man was considered as the head of the famliily as lo,g as it held together.

He accompanied his parents, Andreas and Christiana Moll, to Detroit when he was seventeen, and from that city came to Frankenlust as soon as the father recovered from a severe illness. Soon afterward he came to Flint and engaged as bookkeeper in a dry-goods house, continuing in that way until he came to Saginaw in 1853. Here he filled the position of book-keeper for a prominent firm until 1858, when he was elected on the Republican ticket to the office of County Clerk. He was a fine penman and an expert accountant and filled his position so satisfactorily that he was reelected the following term. In 1863, Mr. Moll was appointed Postmaster to succeed Jay Smith, with whom he became connected in the mercantile business. When Andrew Johnson became President, our subject resigned his position as Postmaster, but remained in business for some years thereafter. He erected the Moll Block on the corner of Court and Hamilton Avenues, at a cost of $20,000, and was remarkably successful both as a wholesale and retail merchant, carrying a stock valued at *20,000 and remaining in the business until his death. He was by far the most prominent merchant in the Saginaw Valley, and carried the largest and most complete stock of goods of any dealer in this section of county. Mr. Moll was a member of the Teutonic Society and was for fifteen years organist in St. John's Episcopal Church, being well known as a musician and composer. He was a life-long member of the Lutheran Church, and a consistent Christian. lie was married June 15, 1854, in Pontiac, to Hester A. Rogers, a native of Ohio and the daughter of H. T. and Sarah Rogers, natives of Pennsylvania. Their family comprised the following childrenHattie C., Charles Alfred, William Conrad, Jane. who died in infancy and Ethie, who died when two years old. The funeral services of Mr. Moll were held at St. John's Chapel and were attended in a body by the Teutonic Society of which he was a member. Many tributes of respect and love were paid to his memory, and among others was a beautiful verse written by John D. Williams and attached to a wreath of immortelles. Mr. Moll was a man of robust form, medium height, and his kind eyes ever GRAPHICAL RECORD. beamed with love and sympathy. A beautiful life size portrait of him graces the )arlor of the Moll homestead, the work of one of the best artists and highly prized by the family.

Ie whose 1naime is quoted above is one of the eldest residents of Saginaw County. He was born on section 20, Saginaw Township, November 15, 1837, and has been an eye witness of the phcnomenal growth of this locality during the years that have since elapsed. His father, Anthony R. Swartbont, may be regarded as one of tile heralds of tile prosperous period which has come to this locality, for he was one of the first men to penetrate the woods and here make a settlement. He was born near Seneca Lake, Steuben County, N. Y., in 1796, and was a son of Ralph Swarthout, a naltive of Pennsylvania. The Swartllout family came to America firom l1olland in (Colonial timses.

Among the citizens of Saginaw County who came here in poverty and have now attained to prospefity is the subject of this biographical notice, a successful farmer residing oil section 9, Saginaw Township. He was born March 9, 1846, in Ireland. His fattier, who bore the same name as himself, was a native of the Emerald Isle, whence at an early (lay lie emrigrated to America, settling in Livingston County, N. Y., and there operating a farm on the shares. lie was a I)emocrat, and a member of the Catholic Church, in tlle faith of which he died at the age of sixty-two years and six months. The family of which our subject is a member comprised the following chilldrenl: Ella, Mary, Bridget, Paul, Frank, Patrick, Martin and Thomas. The mother, Bridget (Welch) Mannion, was a native of Ireland, and came to Amncria in 1849, joining the husband and father, who had located in Livingston County, N. Y. In later life she came to Michigan and lived near her sons, Frank and Martin, dying here when sixty-five years old. Her religious belief connected her witl the Catholic Church. When about four years old our sulject was brought to this country, where he grew to manhood in New York. After the death of his father he was bound out to a carriage-maker, with whom he remained one and one-half years. His educational advantages were very meager, and consisted of.-s timited knowledge of reading, writing an(t figuring. After leaving his place with the carriage-maker lie was coac(thman for a wealthy Scotchman in Livingston Counlty, and found employment at odd jobs iuntil he came to Michigan in the fall of 1862 and located at Saginaw. So poor was Mr. Mannion at that time that lie had only money enough to pay for his lodoging one night at the lhotel, and arising earlyl in the morning lie paid his last cent for his bed and left without breakfast in search of work. lie secured employmlent on a salt block on the Cass Rliver, working three days in thalt way, but as tle labor was too arduous for a boy of Iris strength, lie was obliged to leave, receivinig a compensation of 81 for his services. Next he worked in a lumber camp for A. W. Wright during the winter. and secured a job of rafting logs dtown the river in the spring. lle continuied working in llumber camlps during the winter anid rafting logs on the river in the summler for a number of years, and also worked some ill mills. Mr. lainnion w:ls finallly hired as foreman of a larg:c gang of men both in tlhe woods a.nd oil the river, at a salary of 81()1 per month, alld as he never undertooik anythlinug without a firm determination to succeed, it i* not strange that prosperity crowned his efforts. Although his education was limited, he improved his sparie imomiienits Ild acquired considerable skill in tigures as well as a h)'road knowledge of men aind thilngs. Ile first bought twenty acres of land, which he sold and purchased forty acres. Afterward lie sold that lattce and bought the piece of l:nd which foriis a portion of his present farm, settling there in 1885. In 1878 Mr. Mann ion formed a palrtnership with a neighbor, Francis Allen, with whom lie lumbered for nine years on the Noith Blranch of the Tobacco and Cedar Rivers. IiUpon locating on his farm he removed the stumps and tlien began to improve the land, until it now ralnks a:long the finest places in the township). lie owns onie hundred and seventy acres in one body, and mone hundred and three asnd one-half acres in.amnes Township, from which tie sold the timber, and could now sell the land for as much as he gave at first. He is the owner of forty acres in St. Clair County, this State, from which he has sold the timber.

The subject of this notice received his education in the private schools of Philadelphia,and remained at home until he reached his majority when he began the paper manufacture, taking as a partner S. F. Callan. They engaged in this business at New 1Iope, Pa., and later bought a mill at New London, Pa., where the business was carried on under the name of "Woodpulp lili," conducted by Pierce & Holbrook. They had put $25,000 in this enterprise and lad been running about one year when a new process was put on the market which entirely ruined them. This took place in 1868. Our subject then engaged in farl'ing in the same vicinity which he carried on quite extensively, also dealing to some extent in live stock. Coining to Bay City in 1883, Mr. Pierce engaged as book-keeper for the Keystone Lumber and Salt Manufacturing Company for two years, at which time theyclosed out. lie then became agent for the same company in the real-estate business having sold over three thousand acres and has eleven thousand acres on hand.

Janes Ilodgson, who was a large landowner, farmer and stockman of Chester County. Ile died at the age of eighty-four years. Four children have been the result of this union who are named as follows: George, who resides on the old farm in Chester (County;.lames, an engineer of this city; Sara, a teacher in tlhe schools here; and Bessie, taking a course in the University of Mlichigan at Ann Arbor.

ILLIAM CRAM PTONS, a railroad contractor of Bay City, was horn in Carlton P- 'lace, Upper Canada, September 15, 1842. He is a son of Joln and Susannah (Griflith) Crampton, and was reared on the farm, receiving a good practical education, and also attended the common and High Schools. After ihis he engaged in the lumber business as a jobber on the Cass Rliver, having come here in 1862, before the place had a railroad or a brick house, and there was no bridge across the Saginaw River. Tle continued in jobbing for several years on the (Cass River, and his first work for a railroad was to build a private road. He continued in this work for some time, when he began contracting on regular railro:ds. Among some of his more imInportant jobs was or e ( the Minneapolis, St. Marie &e Atlantic lRailroad, and of late he has been on the Michigan (entral. Two years of his time was spent in California in the wheat trade. Our subject now gives employment to about three hundred men, and has a contract to build the Grayling and Twin Lakes branch for the Michigan Central, which is about thirty miles long. Mr. Crampton has also done considerable general contracting in the city, and is now also interested in Bay City real estate. Ile has built one of the most elegant homes south of Twelfth Street, on South Center, on the corner of Broadway. It is a three-story brick with a basement, and of the most modernm rchitecture, finely finished throughout. The site is 40x60 feet. and cost l10(,000. Mr. Crampto.n also owns a farm in this county, which is devoted to stock raising. He also has a number of houses on Fortieth Street, and also various other residences throughout the city, which he rents out. Mr. (i'aimpton's large contracting business requires a large capital, and he came here without any means whatever. lBut by his ability and energy lie has made for himself what he now has to-day. Mr. (rampton was married to Miss Anna Caskill, a native of C(inad:a. The ceremony took place February 17, 1873, and they have become the parents of three children, Georgiana, Belle and Roy. ()Our subject is a member of the Royal Arcanun, land of the Knights of Pythias of the Uniforimed Rank. lie and liis estimable wife are memnbers of the Episcopal Chlurlch, and Mr. Crampton has beens Warden ill the same. iO()1IEIr 1'T W IIITESI1)E.

The Saginaw Business College, at No. 522 Genesec Avenue, is one of the flourishing institutions of the East Side. Its general plans and aims are such as to give it a fair name and an honored position among other institutions of learning. The college has always been remarkable for its pure tone and genial spirit, and students of good intentions, generous aspirations for cultivated thoroughness, have been attracted to this seat of learning, where they receive every possible opportnnity for the highest development of characterand intellect. The proprietor of the college, Prof. Morrison, was born in Ontario, Canada, March 14, 1854. Ilis father, John, was a native of Scotland, and his mother, Mary McCloud, was a Canadian. He was one of nine children, and was reared in his native place. In 1879 he accompanied his father to Michigan, remaining in Shiawassee County until his father's death, when he took a course of cormmercial studies. Upon coming to Saginaw he became connected with the Parsons' Business College, and upon the departure of Prof. Parsons for Diluth, became his successor. In December, 1889, Ie bought the institution, which he is now conducting under the name of the Saginaw Business Cl0g hee. ehfteving that the tendency of the times is toward a more practical, useful education for our boys and young imen, the Professor is endeavoring in every possitle way to fit the students under his charge for some profitable industry. Ilis college teaches. business on active principles, lbased on actual business transactions. the student taking an active part, buying and sellini' and engaging in ll l the iramifications of commercial life. In fact, it may be termed a miniaiture world of commerce. The course of sltudy emblraces book-keeping, ienmianlship, shorthand, typewritiing, correspondence, language courses, accounts, land all various departments necessary for a thorough education. 'The rates of tuition are reasonable, and every convenience has been brought in-to requisition for the comfort of the students. The faculty are gentlemlen and ladies of progressiver intelligence. who have adopted the very best features of the institlution and who thoroughlyl understand thle requiremients of students designed for lbusiness life.
