KALAMAZOO COUNTY
He was a marked man in whatever place he was called to fill; he was fearless in the right; a man of temperate habits, of good moral and Christian character, whose everyday life was devoted in trying various ways to better the condition of the present and the rising generation, by aiding and assisting in devising a good code of laws for town, county and State. He was an active, working member in framing the constitution of the State, and devoted gratuitously a large portion of his active life in various ways for the good of the public. He rendered much valuable service in this way to the town of Schoolcraft, and since his residence in Kalamazoo he has served as president of the village a number of years, and many of our most important public improvements were devised and carried to completion under his administration.
