able degree. He took first rank
in this community as a business
man and citizen and never
throughout his long career lost
nor forfeited the confidence re-
posed in him. He was watchful
and sympathetic in his transac-
tons, noted for his financial abil-
ity and prompt and honorable
dealing.
He accumulated an ample for
tune by untiring industry and I'M
yielding integrity. These qualit-
les were recognized not only at
home and in business, but in the
large circles through which his
influence reached along many
lines and in many and diverse re-
lations of life.
AS clerk, merchant, banker and
manufacturer he had an impor-
tant and honorable part in the de-
velopement and growth of the
city, county and state, and his in
fiuence has always been on the
side of truth, justice and right
eousness.
The sterling qualities of mind
and heart which he possessed,
his interest in all public matters,
his business success, his cheerful,
genial nature, his mental activity
and the confidence of the pnblic
which he early gained, naturally
led him to take an active and
prominent part in the political
life of the times in which he lived,
which covered the most critical
period of our nations history.
He has been City Clerk of Ply
mouth, and in 1917 was President
of the Board Of Education when
the High School building was
built, taking an active interest
I'm its construction. He was
Chief Marshal when the corner
stone of the Court House was
laid and Plymouth entertained
the largest number of people
that has ever visited this city on
any occasion. In 1872 his friends
nominated him for Representa-
tive in the state legislature of the
district comprising the counties
of Marshall and St. Joseph, but
was defeated by about forty
votes. In 1874 he was the choice
of the delegates from his own
county for the congressional
nomination and received a flatter-
ing vote in the convention. He
was nominated for Congress in
1854 but the Republicans were
defeated in the thirteenth dis
trict that year.
