THOMPSON SINCLAIR.
'
Mr. Sinclair was born in Romulus, Seneca county, on the 18th of June, 1819, and was therefore sixty-six years old at the time of his death. He had a thorough college education. In 1840, in company with his father and brother Samuel, he removed to Ann Arbor, Michigan, where he and his brother embarked in the dry goods trade. At the same time he conducted a flouring mill located at Dixborough. As above stated, he was married in 1843. In 1845, still retaining his business connections in Ann Arbor, he came to Grand Rapids with his family, and opened a dry goods store on Monroe street. In 1850 he was elected justice of the peace, which office he has held, with the exception of a single year, ever since. Very few of his decisions have ever been reversed. He was admitted to the bar in 1878. Mr. Sinclair has been in delicate health for three years past, suffering from catarrh of the throat. About a year ago he had an attack of paralysis, from which he never recovered.
