Excerpt from Portrait and Biographical Album of Gratiot County, Mich: Portraits and Biographical Sketches, Prominent and Representative Citizens of the County, Together With Portraits and Biographies of All the Governors of Michigan and of the Presidents of the United States As one of the most interesting features of this work, we present the portraits of numerous representa tive citizens. It has been our aim to have the prominent men of to-day, as well as the pioneers, represented in this department; and we congratulate ourselves on the uniformly high character of the gentlemen whose portraits we present. They are in the strictest sense representative men, and are selected from all the call ings and professions worthy tobe represented. There are others, it is true, who claim equal prominence with those presented, but of course it was impossible for us to give portraits of all the leading men and pioneers of the county. While we are under great obligation to many of the noble and generous people of Gratiot County for kindly and material assistance in the 'preparation of this Album, we feel under special obligation to the following persons, who.
