Orleans Spaulding and Philanzo Bowen immigrated to Michigan in 1836, and selecting the district now known as Paris, made their home there. The lots of some were peculiarly distressing. Orleans Spaulding, who was before mentioned as having settled in the year 1836, informs us that, in the month of June, 1837, he was afflicted with sore eyes, and that for six years he was thereby unfitted for labor. During three years of the time he was totally blind, and that, too, while his family was dependent upon the productions of their little farm for a living. But there were trials of a general nature which had to be endured at this period, occasioned by the " hard times," or " wild cat times," as they were commonly called.

In 1834, five men-Abraham Laraway, Alexander Bouk, James Clark, Jacob Friant and Orleans Spaulding, started together from the east part of the State; came on foot a part of the way, and the rest in an Indian canoe. They did not take up land until 1836; then they located themselves in the east part of the town; and cut out a road to Grand Rapids.

The case of Orleans Spaulding is nor without its special interest. He came with but little means, and went to work, clearing his lands. In the mean time his wife died, and he was grievously afflicted with ophthalmic, so that for years he was blind. In this state he chopped and cleared two acres of land, planted corn, and struggled for a living. During the time that he was blind, he one time went to the Rapids to see if in any way he could make a raise of something to eat. In some place of business George Evans encountered him; and, in his direct way, said to him: " Spaulding, what are you here for?" Spaulding told him his situation, and what he wanted. "Here," said Evans, " take this, and go to '- s grocery, and get what you want;" at the same time handing him an order on that grocery in Evans' favor. Spaulding took the paper, went and got three or four dollars' worth of provisions, and had them indorsed. Very thankful, he returned the order to Evans, who, looking at it and seeing the small amount indorsed, said, ' Go back again, and get what you need. What you have got won't last a week. Take up the whole order." This was but the beginning. With no immediate prospect of pay, and a fair chance of losing all, he continued to force upon Spaulding his accommodations until they amounted to several hundred dollars; never hinting at payment; generously waiting until better times enabled him to cancel the legal indebtedness; and then taking, not asking, his pay. The debt of gratitude can never be canceled; and the memory of Evans, who died under a cloud, will ever be dear to Spaulding. It may here be added, parenthetically, that this conduct of Evans toward Spaulding was no exceptional instance; for, be his faults what they may, no more generous-hearted man ever lived in the Grand River Valley than George C. Evans. And probably the history of the State cannot furnish another instance where the show of justice was so shamelessly outraged as when he, for an act which showed no moral turpitude, was sent to the State Prison, there to die. The town of Paris was organized in 1839; then including Gaines. The first meeting was at the house of Hiram Allen. Supervisor, Joel Guild; Clerk, Hiram H. Allen; Treasurer, Robert Barr; Justices, I.

Notes for Miner Patterson:

Miner Patterson was born June 9, 1819 in Wayne, Steuben Co., N.Y. He is son of Robert and Rachel Patterson, who came to Washtenaw County in 1828, where his father died in 1831. His mother, with five boys to bring up and educate, and fit for the responsibilities of the future, proved equal to the emergency, and continued the management of the homestead six years, when she came with her family to Kent County and bought 40 acres of land on sec. 13, this township., where she spent her life. The first two years after her removal to this county she herself self-labored for wages. Her energy was wonderful, and her perseverance indomitable, and with the aid of her sons she paid for her land and spread its borders until the tract in possession of the family included 350 acres. Her sons all settled near her, and she was to the end of her life, March 1, 1864, their wise counselor and most judicious friend. At her death, Mr. Patterson, of this sketch, came in possession of the homestead, to which he has added until he owns 320 acres of first-class land. When he first began his struggle with the world he owned two dollars, an ax and a gun, and three months' provisions. They cleared five acres the first winter, and look back to that time as one of promise and not difficulty. Mr. Patterson was married July 4, 1848, to Sally A., daughter of Orleans and Sally Spaulding, of Paris, born in New York in 1826. they have five children, three sons and two daughters, all residing in this county. Mr. and Mrs. Patterson are members of the Congregational Church.

MINER PATTERSON, of Paris Township, was born in Steuben County, New York, in 1819, and removed with his parents to Washtenaw County,'Michigan, in 1828, and to Kent County, Michigan, with his mother and brothers, Jacob and James Patterson, in the Spring of 1837. He was married July 4, 1848, to Miss Sally. A. Spaulding, who had come with her parents from Seneca County, New York, in 1836. Mr. and Mrs. Patterson have three sons and two daughters. Mr. Patterson's mother, Mrs. Rachel Patterson, lived with him for twenty-five years, or until she died, in 1864, aged seventy-seven years, but remarkably vigorous. She was much esteemed as a nurse, and was widely known among the pioneers as a most useful woman. -.

As long ago as the year 1833, Barney Burton, Edward Guild, Joel Guild, Daniel Guild, and James Vanderpool located within its present limits. Benjamin Clark and Abram Laraway, settled in the year 1835; Jacob Patterson, Miner Patterson, James Patterson, Orleans Spaulding and Philanzo Bowen, in the year 1836; Nicholas Carlton in the year

Generation 2 (con't)

MINER PATTERSON, a retired farmer of Paris township, Kent county, Mich., was born in Wayne,

Steuben county, N. Y., June 9, 1, and is a son of Robert and Rachel (DeLong) Patterson, also natives of the state of New York, and who for some time resided in Seneca county, where the subject of this sketch was reared until nine years of age. In 1, the family came to Michigan and located in Washtenaw county, eight miles north of Ypsilanti, where they resided until 1837, when they came to Kent county. The father, however, who had been a soldier in the war of 1812, and was at Buffalo, N. Y., at the time of its burning, died in Washtenaw county, at the comparatively early age of forty-four years. The family comprised ten children, nine of whom came to Kent county with the mother. Four only of these remained with the mother, of whom Miner was the eldest, and James and Jacob, who were married, settled near her in Paris township, but now both are deceased. Mrs. Patterson, who was among the earliest to settle in her part of Paris township, had forty acres of wild land, but both she and Miner, then eighteen years of age, lived out two years, she keeping house for a gentleman in the neighborhood and he working at clearing up land. At the close of the two years, Mrs. Patterson and her son, Miner, built a small log house on the farm, four acres of which Miner had cleared of timber, and this cabin stood very close to the spot on which the present modern house was later erected. Miner then worked out another year, and when he settled down to work on the home place had a good yoke of oxen, which were two-year-old steers the family brought with them When they first came; but one of these died, and Miner had again to work out to earn enough money to buy another. Mrs. Patterson was also very industrious and likewise frequently worked out for others. She did her own spinning, and wove all the cloth used in the family. When Miner Patterson came to Paris township he had $2 in cash, a good ax, a gun and the two steers. He cleared off his land himself, worked for his brothers and two brothers-in law, constantly added to his possessions until he owned at one time 350 acres in one body, and personally cleared off the trees from it all. He was an expert with the ax, chopped a great deal for others, and at the age of twenty years had no equal. Mr. Patterson has lived on his present farm sixty years, built his present house in 1, and here his mother died in 1864, aged seventy-seven years. She was a wonderful woman, and was always sought for by her neighbors in cases of childbirth, in which she acted as doctor, midwife and nurse. Mr. Patterson has grown grain mainly, has kept about 200 sheep, and also a number of cows, his mother having been a famous butter maker, in which art his wife also excels. Mr. Patterson was married July 4, 1, to Miss Sally Ann Spaulding, daughter of Orleans and Sally (VanDyke) Spaulding, who came from Seneca county, N. Y., in 1831, settled in Wayne county, Mich; came to Kent county, Mich., in 1, and settled in Paris township in 1837. Mrs. Patterson was born in Seneca county, N. Y., July 4, 1826; her mother died in Wayne county, Mich., and her father in Paris, Mich., at the age of eighty four years.

The children born to Mr. and Mrs. Patterson were named Warren A., a farmer in Cascade township; John J., who lives on a farm adjoining the homestead; Sarah Ellen, wife of 0. Vanderbilt, also on an adjoining farm; Delia May, who was married to George N. June, died at the age of twenty-eight years, and left two children, one of whom died a few weeks later; Miner L., who manages the home I I farm, is married to Sarah E. McKersey and has one child, Ruby, aged three years. He is also a member of the Masonic lodge at Ada. Mr. Patterson has been a deacon in the East Paris Congregational church for thirty years. In politics he is a stanch republican, but cast his first presidential vote with the Whig party, in 1840, for William H. Harrison, and has never missed voting at a national election since that date,but he takes no special interest in local politics. In his walk through life he has always been strictly honorable and upright and has never had. a law suit carried to an issue, and no name in the county of Kent is more respected than that of Miner Patterson.

ROBERT B. PATTERSON. To him who, in the love of nature, as exhibited in the myriad-mind of the youth of a community, sees the need of suitable directing hands, and fitting himself; takes up the work for the love of it, all students of social and economic subjects bow with respect. Such a man is he to whom attention is now briefly directed. With only meager advantages himself for education, but with the same indomitable will that has characterized numerous members of the family, he early determined upon securing the best training obtainable under his restrictions. At seventeen he passed examination and secured a certificate to teach. However, he remained at home, assisting his father upon the farm for two years longer, when he began to teach. He followed this most honorable vocation nearly sixteen years, becoming one of the most popular educators, whose services were in constant demand. He was very successful in this profession, and many of his pupils are now filling responsible positions, for which

He afterward lived in Gaines about thirty years, but returned to Paris and purchased 106 acres on Section 30. Mr. Clark adhered to Greenback doctrines, politically. He served as justice of the peace fourteen years, township clerk three years, and supervisor three years. The Pattersons came from Steuben county, New York, and in 1828 settled in Washtenaw county, Michigan, where the father died, in 1831. The mother, with five boys to rear, educate, and fit for the responsibilities of the future, proved equal to the emergency and continued the management of the homestead six years, when she came with her family to Paris township and purchased forty acres of land in Section 13, where she spent the remainder of her life. The first two years after her removal to this county she herself labored for wages. Her energy was wonderful and her perseverance indomitable, and with the aid of her sons she paid for her land and spread its borders until the tract in the possession of the family included 350 acres. Her sons all settled near her and she was to the end of her life, March 1, 1864, their wise counselor and most judicious friend.

Generation 2 (con't)

charivari the young couple. Mr. Patterson, with his bride, in April moved into his own house. He continued to add to his own possessions; for the equity in the fortyacre tract he now lives upon he traded a horse and a cutter, chopping twenty-one acres of timber to pay off the mortgage. He added another forty-acre tract adjoining, for which he traded his ox-team and ten bushels of wheat, agreeing to pay, in addition, $60 in cash, when he would raise that amount. The team was unhitched from the plow, although it was the first day's plowing for corn, and with the wheat was turned over to the seller. For the $60 he gave his simple word; and when his crop of wheat was sold that word was redeemed. Another yoke of oxen was now necessary; and as he had $25 left in halfdollar pieces, he sought a man who had two teams, of which he bought one, paying fifty coins, and exchanging a cow. It took the better part of a day to find the oxen, which were running loose in the, woods. With this team and a horse he continued his farming. From the forest he eventually developed one of the best farms in the township. In I86I he paid $1,500 for eighty acres, sixty of which were improved with good barns, etc. He once owned about 400 acres; but some of this was given to his children as they became of age. When not sharing with them his own land he bought for them farms elsewhere; one, however, receiving a good portion of the home farm as his share. Mr. Patterson has been a hard-working man, but he has worked intelligently. He was successful in raising cattle, making single sales to the value. of $800 or $900. He also grew large quantities of wheat, for which he has re I ceived as high as $3 per bushel. He sold one load of wool for $1,135-the largest income from one load of produce ever taken from the village of Cascade. Mr. Patterson is a republican in politics, but cast his first presidential vote for Henry Clay, the whig candidate, in 1844. As a republican, he has attended the conventions of his party and worked for its success; but still has had little time to attend to public affairs, though he has served for many years as a school director. The children born to Mr. and Mrs. Patterson are six in number, and named, in order of birth, as follows: John M., of Grand Rapids; William H., of Cascade township; Chauncy Irving, farming near his father's home; George Martin, also of Cascade township; Ida May, wife of Fred R. Shear, and Nellie M., wife of William Eardly, who operates the home farm. In his early days, Mr. Patterson had a neighbor named William DeGolia, and with him Mr. Patterson became associated for four years in handling stock. DeGolia was a great trader, and instilled much of this science of trading into Mr., Patterson, and this tuition served the latter a good purpose for many a time later in life. A warm place still exists in Mr. Patterson's heart in memory of Mr. DeGolia, who was, indeed, a man of many sterling qualities. t The first dollar earned by Mr. Patterson was when, as a boy of thirteen years, he rode a horse for a neighbor in plowing corn among the stumps. His pay was a dollar bill, which he held so tightly in his hand that it was wet through with perspiration when he arrived home. "The boy was father to the man," as the poet Wordsworth expresses it, as not a, dollar has since passed through his hands that has been uselessly expended. A little, wiry man, but possessing indomitable will and perseverance, few men have done more to promote the civilization and to improve the town than Chauncy Patterson. Of late years he and his wife have lived more at ease and have traveled somewhat, visiting the Pacific coast and other sections. Their present residence was recently built and is fitted with many conveniences not dreamed of when he first settled on the farm. After giving each child a farm, he and wife have ample left to carry them to the end, which will be mourned by all, it is true, but their memory will live, cherished and beloved, as long as Cascade township shall endure.

Robert E. Patterson was born in Paris township, Kent county, Mich., August I 5, 1863, and is a son of John and Martha Ann (Spaulding) Patterson, of whom full mention will be made later on. February 18, 1886, Mr. Patterson married Miss Nettie Wilbur, a daughter of Hiram H. and Mary (Heintzelman) Wilbur, who was born on Thornapple river, in Cascade town ship, January IO, i864. She likewise was a teacher for some time prior to her marriage. This union has been blessed with one son, Robert Wilbur, who is now nine years of age. Mr. Patterson owns two tracts of land, of forty acres each, and also operates forty acres of his father's farm. He breeds Percheron horses and Jersey cows, and has made several very satisfactory exhibitions of his stock at state fairs. As a republican, he has been quite active in the affairs of Cascade, acceptably filling several township offices. He has frequently been a delegate to republican county, district and state conventions. Widely read on all matters pertaining to the history of political parties, and public polity, and possessed of a vigorous command of the language, he is no mean antagonist in the debate of those questions affecting the general prosperity of the nation. John Patterson, father of Robert B., and a resident of Paris township, was born in Steuben county, N. Y., April 25, 1827, and is a son of

Generation 2 (con't)

Robert and Rachel (DeLong) Patterson, who came with their family to Michigan in 1828, and of whom further details may be read in the biography of Miner Patterson, on another page. John Patterson remained with his mother and brother Miner until his marriage, at the age of twenty-six, to Martha Ann Spaulding, daughter of Benjamin and Eliza (Quackenbush) Spaulding, who came to Kent county, Mich., in i844, and settled in Paris township, on the town line of Cascade, which land is now a part of the farm of J. J. Patterson. Some years later the parents removed to Cascade township, where the mother passed the remainder of her days, and later the father returned to the home of his son John, where his death took place at the age of sixty-two years. March 2, i854, Mr. Patterson settled on his present farm, which comprised eighty

On Independence Day 1848, Miner married Sally Ann Spaudling. Sluman Bailey, another early township reside, performed the ceremony. The couple's children became owner of adjacent property in Section 13.

John and Martha purchased 80 acres in 1854 for $2.50 pr acre and built a log home of the beech and maple timbers which stood in its dense forests. The couple started farm life with only a single yoke of oxen, but these were said to be the best in the county. Soon their farm was being hailed as the finest in the township.

John and Martha had four children Charles E. (who became the County Coroner and proprietor of the Patterson Sanatorium in Grand Rapids) Albert J., M.D. of Grand rapids, Roger B (A farmer and breeder of livestock, and Alice (who married Austin Pressey. M. D.).

His family consists of four children, viz: Charles E.,M. D., proprietor of the Patterson Sanitarium in Grand Rapids; Albert J., M. D., of the same city; Robert B., mentioned in full above; Alice, the wife of Dr. Austin Pressey, who conducts the Fairmount Home, also a retreat for invalids at Cleveland, Ohio. Mr. Patterson is a member of the Christian church at Cascade, as was also his wife; in politics he has ever been an ardent republican. Misfortune, however, in its course had not overlooked this amiable couple; but mingling with the comforts and pleasures of a well spent life had laid a heavy hand upon them. For a year or more Mr. Patterson was afflicted with total blindness, caused by cataracts, but an operation has partially restored the sight of one eye; he was not, however, confined to his room or bed through his affliction, and was carefully carried over the worst part of his trouble by his amiable wife, who was in all respects a remarkably brilliant lady. Late in the fall of I899 Mrs. Martha A. Patterson, the mother of this family, passed to the unseen world, hers being the first death to break the happiness of the family circle. A Grand Rapids paper, in noting the passing of this Kent county pioneer, wrote as follows: Mrs. Martha A. Patterson, of Paris township, the mother of Coroner Patterson, died this morning at her home, at the age of sixty five years. She was one of the most generally known and most respected residents of that township, and had resided there fifty-six years. 49 Mrs. Patterson's maiden name was Martha A. Spaulding. She came to Kent county from New York in 1844, and ten years later married John Patterson, of Paris township, who survives her. She leaves four children, all living: Dr. C. E. Patterson and Dr. A. J. Patterson, of this city; Alice Pressey, of Cleveland, and Robert B. Patterson, of Paris. In fact, Mrs. Patterson's is the first death in the family, although her children are all married and have children of their own. Mrs. Patterson leaves also three brothers, of whom Elliot Spaulding, of this city, is one, and a sister, Mrs. Kilner, who resides in Tennessee.

Sally Ann: Sally Ann Patterson lived in Cascade, Kent, Michigan, USA in 1880. James R: James R Laraway lived in Cascade, Kent, Michigan, USA in 1880. Notes for James R Laraway:

JAMES R. LARAWAY, deceased, once one of the most prominent of the residents of Cascade township, Kent county, was born in Salem, Washtenaw county, Mich., June 23, 1837, a son of Hiram and Mary (Teeple) Laraway, and died in Cascade township March i6, 1896. James R.

Laraway was an infant when brought to Kent county by his parents, who settled on the farm on which he was reared and on which he passed almost his entire life. Lewis Cook, the first settler in Cascade township, came in 1836, and Hiram Laraway, his brother-in-law, having also married a Miss Teeple, immediately followed, but did not remain long, as he was dismayed by the prospects occasioned by the panic of 1837, and returned to eastern Michigan, but in 1839 or 1840 started back to Cascade, but lost his way in the woods of Ada township and was frozen to death. He left a widow with three sons and one daughter, viz: Lydia, who was married to Peter Lawyer, lived in Grand Rapids, and died in middle age; William, a stone-cutter, died in Grand Rapids at the age of fifty; John H., a mason by trade and who has remained a bachelor, resides in Cascade, and James R. is the deceased subject of this sketch. The mother of these children was fatally injured by a fall from a cherry-tree on the homestead, her death occurring in 1869. The three deceased children died of paralysis. James R. Laraway early assumed the care of his mother and the homestead, as his elder brother early left his home in order to learn a trade, James filially caring for his mother until her sad end. His first suit of clothes, and his first pair of boots, were bought with money earned by working out, but after that his time was devoted to the care of the home place. This at first, comprised forty acres, but he handled it so successfully that it was increased to I80. He cleared off most of the place with his own hands, set out a large peach orchard, which proved to be very profitable, and was an active member of the grange, of which his wife, son and daughter also are members. He was also an ardent supporter of the church of Christ at Cascade. Mr. Laraway married, October 8, I863, Miss Sallie A. Patterson, daughter of. James and Nancy (Davis)

Generation 3 (con't)

Patterson. Her old home was opposite that of her uncle, Miner Patterson, in Paris township, where her parents lived until her mother's death. Her father died in Cascade with his eldest son, Robert, at the age of eighty-five years, one month and one day prior to the death of her husband. A brother of Mrs. Laraway, Robert Patterson, was the old landlord of the Cascade hotel and recently died at her home, she having cared for him nearly two years. The other relatives of Mrs. Laraway are two sisters, viz: Rachel Jane, wife of Hiram Starkweather, of Lenawee county, and Josephine, married to Robert Carleton, of Grand Rapids. To Mr. and Mrs. Laraway were born two children- Odessie, wife of Everell Austin, of Lenawee county, and J. Clyde, a lad of sixteen years, at home. Mrs, Laraway has conducted the farm since her husband's death, mainly by hired help. The place is a handsome one, with a fine natural fish pond on it', and the dwelling, erected by Mr. Laraway, is neat and substantial. Here Mrs. Larawav is respected by all who know her. Mr. Laraway was a republican, but never sought office. He was strictly temperate and had the faculty of making warm friends, who, with the family, sincerely mourn his loss.

Notes for Warren A.(Zach) Patterson: Farmer in Cascade

WARREN A. (ZACH) PATTERSON, of Cascade township, Kent county, Mich., was born June 2, I849, and is a son of Miner Patterson, whose biography is printed in full elsewhere in this work. Warren A. remained on his father's farm until his twenty-fifth year, when he married, February 25, I874, Miss Mary S. June, a native of New York, but who was brought, at the age of six years, by her parents, George and Martha (Ellison) June, to Paris township, Kent county, Mich. The June family came to Paris township in 1854 and located on a farm, but soon afterward removed to and settled on a homestead near the home of the Shafer family, where they resided until they removed to the city of Grand Rapids, where the father died at the age of seventy-five years, and the mother at the age of seventy-one. The father was a shoemaker by trade, but on settling on his farm in Kent county, began his first outdoor work and cleared up the place. His three sons were named William M. James Henry and George N., and of these the first two reside in Grand Rapids; George N. married Delia M. Patterson, a sister of I"Zach," but died at the age of twenty-two years. His wife had died three years previously, at the age of twenty-eight, the mother of two children Hazel M. and Patty. The death of the mother took place at the birth of Patty, who soon followed the mother to the grave. The only daughter of George and Martha June is Mary S., now the the wife of i"Zach " Patterson. At his marriage, Mr. Patterson purchased an eighty-acre farm, for which he went partly in debt, and his father also presented him with a tract of forty acres, making a compact farm of I20 acres, and to this he added fifty acres. In I89I, he purchased the old John Webster homestead of sixty-two acres, just opposite his own homestead. He has erected two houses on his premises, carries on general farming, and has also I,ooo peach trees. For four years, beside, he sold milk in Grand Rapids. He has been very successful in all his undertakings, and is classed among the substantial agriculturists of Cascade township. In politics Mr. Patterson is a republican, attends the conventions of his party, and always works hard for the success of the party in its campaigns. Mrs.

Notes for Robert B. Patterson MD:

Robert E. Patterson was born in Paris township, Kent county, Mich., August I 5, 1863, and is a son of John and Martha Ann (Spaulding) Patterson, of whom full mention will be made later on February 18, 1886, Mr. Patterson married Miss Nettie Wilbur, a daughter of Hiram H. and Mary (Heintzelman) Wilbur, who was born on Thornapple river, in Cascade town ship, January I0, 1864. She likewise was a teacher for some time prior to her marriage. This union has been blessed with one son, Robert Wilbur, who is now nine years of age. Mr. Patterson owns two tracts of land, of forty acres each, and also operates forty acres of his father's farm. He breeds Percheron horses and Jersey cows, and has made several very satisfactory exhibitions of his stock at state fairs. As a republican, he has been quite active in the affairs of Cascade, acceptably filling several township offices. He has frequently been a delegate to republican county, district and state conventions. Widely read on all matters pertaining to the history of political parties, and public polity, and possessed of a vigorous command of the language, he is no mean antagonist in the debate of those questions affecting the general prosperity of the nation. John Patterson, father of Robert B., and a resident of Paris township, was born in Steuben county, N. Y., April 25, 1827, and is a son of Robert and Rachel (DeLong) Patterson, who came with their family to Michigan in 1828, and of whom further details may be read in the biography of Miner Patterson, on another page. John Patterson remained with his mother and brother Miner until his marriage, at the age of twenty-six, to Martha Ann Spaulding, daughter of Benjamin and Eliza (Quackenbush) Spaulding, who came to Kent county, Mich., in i844, and settled in Paris township, on the town line of Cascade, which land is now a part of the farm of J. J. Patterson. Some years later the parents removed to Cascade township, where the mother passed the remainder of her days, and later the father returned to the home of his son John, where his death took place at the age of sixty-two years. March 2, i854, Mr. Patterson settled on his present farm, which comprised eighty

hey were eminently fitted through his timely and substantial advice and instruction. With full realization of the responsibility of the right teacher, his aim has been to arouse new and higher aspiration in the youths who have sat in his classes, to draw out the best that was in them, and to fit them for nobler lives. Several of his former pupils pursued advanced courses in the higher institutions, and many now give much credit to him in leading them into the pleasant paths of peace and satisfaction incident to lives spent along the intellectual lines he pointed out. He kept the practical every-day side of life uppermost; and while he recognized the value of the greatest ethical culture, knows now that he has assisted young men and women to a better understanding of and ability to solve the practical questions so constantly pressing in this complicated existence. He has little sympathy in or love for many so-called advantages of the newer education, with its numerous fads and isms, but holds that the duty of the state is to better fit the youth to better fight life's every-day battles. His voice is heard in the various educational. associations in advocacy of a higher civilization, better school facilities, and more thoroughly equipped teachers, who understand something of human life and the philosophy underlying correct teaching. Mr. Patterson is also a teacher of vocal music, has a rich, superb voice, and his services are much sought on public occasions, where vocal music is in demand. Robert 1E. Patterson was born in Paris township, Kent county, Mich., August I 5, 1863, and is a son of John and Martha Ann (Spaulding) Patterson, of whom full mention will be made later on.

Notes for Albert J. Patterson MD:

ALBERT J. PATTERSON, M. D., a regular practicing physician and surgeon of Grand Rapids, with his office and residence at No. 134 Plainfield avenue, was born in Paris township, Kent county, Mich., February 18, 1859. a son of John and Martha (Spaulding) Patterson, natives of the state of New York, who accompanied their parents to Michigan in 1836, were married in Kent county about 1846, and are now living on their farm in Paris township, aged seventy-two and sixty-four years, respectively.

Generation 3 (con't)

REV N. F. EVERTS

ABRAM F. COOK.-Succeeding generations will search with interest and anxiety to learn something definite of those who, braving the dangers and sharing the privations incident to a new, wild country, peopled mainly with wild animals and still wilder men, carved out for themselves and their successors permanent and substantial homes, and, dying, passed from the scenes of effort, handing to sons and daughters a heritage made more honored and valued by the bravery and self-sacrifice shown in its making. Western New York was peopled mainly by those brave men who won undying honor and renown, as soldiers, under the gallant Sullivan, in the memorable expedition, during the Revolution, against the five nations who were seduced by British emissaries into taking up arms against the colonists. Steuben county especially presented attractions and advantages for many of them, and from such ancestors the Cook family, who were pioneers in Kent county, Mich., sprang. Jesse Cook was born in that grand county, nameed in honor of a hero; there married Rachael Fisher, and sought a home in Ontario. He was not of the brood that was contented to live under king and queen, and soon came into the then territory of Michigan. They settled at first at Pontiac, Oakland county, where they resided some thirteen years, and where Abram F. Cook was born on the I7th day of November, 1836. In the spring of I849, half a century ago, they came to Kent county, and going deep into a wilderness, secured the land that is now embodied in the farm of their son. Covered with beech and maple trees, centuries old, and presenting a defiant attitude in their broad branches, and great trunks three feet in thickness, that would have daunted any but a brave hearted, strong-armed, stout-limbed man, supported by a no less brave woman, to whom too much credit cannot be accorded in the encouragement extended and fortitude displayed. Not an ax had ever sounded in this wild, but now its blows could be heard, startling the birds and squirrels from their aerial homes. It was the first of millions such, and was followed up with Maria L. Patterson, a daughter of Jacob and Rose Ann (Carlton) Patterson, and a niece of Miner Patterson, whose life sketch will be found on another page of this work; Mrs. Cook was born on a farm where the Paris schoolhouse now stands; she and her husband were school-mates and reared almost together from childhood. To their happy union have been born three children, viz: Frank J., who is abstracter in the county register's office, and resides in Grand Rapids. He had served as deputy register for two years, and for two years worked in the county treasurer's office. Byron L., the second child, was for six years in the commission house of Mosley & Stevens, Grand Rapids, where he attained an admirable record, being held in greatest respect by all his associates. He died July 26, I898, at the age of thirty-three years. He was a remarkably bright and industrious young man, whose friends were numbered by the score. Fred A., the third child, is the able assistant of his father on the home farm. Mr. and Mrs. Cook are members of the Church of Christ at Cascade, of which he is one of the official board, and in politics is a republican, yet he is not at all demonstrative or aggressive in his political manifestations. Jacob Patterson, father of Mrs. Cook, died at the age of sixty-two years, and his wife at the age of seventy-eight. The latter was born in Washtenaw county, where she was married and was the mother of one child when they came to live in Kent county, where the last four years of her life were passed at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Cook. The children born to Mr. and Mrs. Patterson were eight in number, all of whom are still living excepting Frank, who died at the age of thirty-five years. The survivors are Sarah, of Fremont county, Iowa, and wife of Nelson Henry; Rilla, married to Edwin Bailey, of Paris, Mich. James of Oklahoma; Maria (Mrs. Cook); Clara, wife of H. H. Henshaw, of Chicago, Ill.; Hewitt, a mailcarrier, of Grand Rapids, and Bert, a boot and shoe dealer, of the same city stroke and stroke, till a log house was erected, fields cleared, fences constructed, and another home was made where peace and contentment have reigned, from whence, in these later years, men have gone forth to take up other duties no less onerous or less important than those done half a century past. Here Jesse Cook made his home until called from earth, about 1874, at the age of seventy-six years. His widow survived him eleven years, when she passed away in her eighty-fourth year. Of their eleven children, ten grew to maturity, but of these four only now are living, viz: S. R. and J. R., of Cascade township; Abram F., the subject of this review, and Lydia M., a widow, residing in California. \William Cook, one of the sons, who lived in Cascade township, died about seven years ago, and his daughter, Lydia, is now a member of his brother's family. Abram F. Cook assisted his father on the home place until twenty-three years old and then started in to make a separate set of improvements on the farm, and after his mother's death purchased the homestead, which he still owns and were he resides. At the age of twenty-three, also, Mr. Cook

Mr. Cook has been long before the public, for prior to entering the field of finance he was the incumbent of a number of city positions, and the able and reliable manner in which he discharged the duties of these offices did much to gain him the confidence of the people, so that when he entered upon his new venture he already had a large and representative following. Frank J. Cook is a product of the agricultural community of Kent county, having been born on a farm in Paris township, Oct. 30, 1860, a son of Abraham F. and Marie L. (Patterson) Cook.

FRANK JUDSON COOK, county abstracter, was born in Paris township, Kent county, Mich., October 30, I860, and is the son of Abram F. and Maria (Patterson) Cook.

On the Ist day of July, I893, Mr. Cook was appointed tax collector in the city treasurer's office, Grand Rapids, under M. H. Sorrick, and served as such till January, I895, when he was appointed by Jon T.

Previous to holding either of the above places, Mr. Cook served as treasurer of Paris township, to which he was elected in I890, serving as such until I894, when he was chosen township clerk, holding the latter office one term. In 1897, he was appointed county abstracter and has since given his attention to the office, proving himself in this, as in the various other stations to which he has been called, fully competent and most obliging and courteous in the discharge of the duties pertaining thereto. In addition to his duties as abstracter, Mr. Cook is also justice of the peace for Paris township, to which office he was elected for the full term of four years. Mr. Cook has had a very busy life, and in all of its relations he has fully met the expectations of his friends by acquitting himself with credit and honor. He is now in the prime of life, possesses genial manners and sound scholarship, and his years in the schoolroom, together with the time spent in the various official stations to which he has been called, have been the means of laying a broad foundation for a future of still greater efficiency and usefulness. On the 2Ist of September, I88I, Mr. Cook entered into the marriage relation with Miss Jennie Thompson, of Paris township. She is the daughter of Leroy and Eliza (Earl) Thompson, and her birth dates from the i6th day of December, I863. Mr. and Mrs. Cook are the parents of two children Lillian M., born March 9, I884, and Arthur A., whose birth occurred on the 29th day of March, I893. The family are members of the Church of Christ, in Grand Rapids, and are highly esteemed in religious and social circles of the city. Mr. Cook is active in many fraternal, social and religious organizations, belonging to the Maccabees, Royal League and Knights of PyLhias, being past chancellor and commander of Cowan lodge, No. 89, of the order last named. He is a leading spirit in the Young Men's Republican club of Grand Rapids, holds the position of vice-president of the Lincoln club, and is an associate member of the New Era Life Insurance company of this city. In connection with his official duties, which, by the way, are many, he owns and personally superintends a successful green-house at his home in Paris township, the building covering 7,000 square feet of ground, and being supplied with a fine assortment of plants. The twenty-seven acres comprising his place are devoted to fruit growing and vegetable culture, and he obtains there from a comfortable income.
