Excerpt from History and Biographical Record of Lenawee County, Michigan, Vol. 2: Containing Sketches of the Organization and Early Settlement of the County, Together With a Biographical Record of Many of the Oldest and Most Prominent Settlers and Present Residents, Obtained From Personal Interviews With Themselves or Their Children There has been no attempt at eulogy, but a plain, straightforward history, depicting the h0pe, the wearying anxieties and heart-struggles of those brave, generous, noble men and women who came into Lenawee county when it was a wilderness, who, by their industry and frugality, have achieved results so far beyond what they ever dreamed of. It is to be hoped that their posterity will emulate their memory by the lessons they have taught. Lenawee county is a glorious county, and none better can be found. It is in habited by a thrifty, intelligent and happy people, prosperous because they are industrious, and industrious because they are temperate and content. On every hand there is comfort and plenty. Nearly all of the farm houses are good, and large numbers of them are beautiful in architecture and massive in size and appearance. Education and refinement is the rule, while the accomplishments are not neglected. In very many houses there is either a piano or organ, with ther evidences of culture and good taste to correspond.
