LEMUEL WOODHOUSE.
He was for three years a resident of Lansing, and was most of that time an efficient clerk in the office of auditor general. In 1872 he was disabled by the kick of a horse, which confined him to his house for more than a year. In 1874 he was again elected county treasurer, and reflected in 1876. After the expiration of his term as county treasurer he removed to White Oak, where he owned a small farm, and a saw and stave mill, which business he was conducting at the time of his death. He represented the second district of Ingham county in the constitutional convention of 1867, and was also United States draft commissioner in 1834. His remains were buried at Dansville. During his last illness every care and attention that human mind could devise were given him, but they were of no avail in averting the dread calamity of death. Beside the ministrations of the family, his sister, Mrs. E. B. Dykeman of Schoolcraft, spent the last eight weeks at his bedside. His death is universally mourned by all who knew him, for he had no enemies.
