Notes for JOSHUA PRIDGEON:From A Twentieth Century History and Biographical Record of Branch County, Michigan, 1906 by Rev. HenryP. Collin.
Upon a fine farm of one hundred and sixty acres on section two, California township, resides John Pridgeon,Jr., and his father, John Pridgeon, Sr. The latter was born in Detroit, Michigan, August 3, 1833, and was broughtto Branch county, Mich. by his parents in 1836. His father was Joshua Pridgeon, a native of Lincolnshire,England, in which county the birth of Mrs. Susan Belle Pridgeon, wife of Joshua Pridgeon, also occurred. Theywere married in England and soon afterward crossed the Atlantic to America, hoping to improve their financialcondition in the new world with its broader business opportunities. They settled in Pennsylvania, where theylived for a few years and then came to Michigan, arriving in Detroit about 1825. There they spent eight years,and during that time Joshua Pridgeon came to Branch county and entered a claim from the government of onehundred and sixty acres. In 1836 he brought his family here, took up his abode upon his claim and beganclearing the land. In connection with general farming he became widely known as a stock raiser and dealer. Hewas a breeder of Devonshire cattle and also of blanded sheep and good horses. He and his wife spent theirremaining days upon the farm, his death occurring in 1875, while she passed away in 1884. They were typicalpioneer residents, sharing in the usual experiences of life on the frontier and extending cordial hospitality tofriend and stranger. In the active work of subduing a wild district Mr. Pridgeon took a helpful part and is classedwith the pioneer settlers whose labors have made possible the present advanced condition of the county. Untohim and his wife were born seven children, all of whom reached years of maturity, namely: George, who died inthis county; Joshua, who died in Hillsdale county, Michigan; John, father of our subject; Samuel, who lives inIsabella county, this state; Abram, a resident of California township, Branch county; Isaac, deceased; and Jacob,who is living in Algansee township.
John Pridgeon, Sr., was a little lad of but three years when brought by his parents to Branch county, and herehis youth was passed amid pioneer surroundings. He lived here at the period when most of the homes were logcabins, when much of the land was covered with dense timber and when the work of farming was carried on inbut a slight degree. He was married in 1858 to Miss Eunice Lease, a native of California township, whose fatherwas Julius Lease, who came to this country in 1839, and whose mother was a Diamond. There were threechildren born of this marriage: Benjamin, who is now residing in Seattle, Washington; Henry, a resident ofKalamazoo, Michigan; abd Mrs. Emma Lazenley, of Hillsdale county. After the death of his first wife Mr.Pridgeon was again married, his second union being with Mary Shannon. their only child is the subject of thisreview. The mother died in 1875.
John Pridgeon, Sr., started out in life on his own account when twent-one years of age, and soon afterwardpurchased his present farm of 80 acres. While paying for it he lived at home. He has always carried on generalagricultural pursuits, making his home continuously in California township, and his labors have been rewardedwith a gratifying competence. He has cleared many acres of new land and has undergone all the difficultiesincident to the establishment of a home on the frontier. he saw the first school house built in the township and helived here when there were no roads aside from the old Indian trails. he went forty miles to mill and also a longdistance to market, but the early settlers depended largely upon what they could raise upon their farms, havingfew of the conveniences and comforts which are now regarded as essential at this period of our moderncivilization. In community affairs he has been deeply and helpfully interested and has served as highwaycommissioner. His memory forms a connecting link between the primitive past and the progressive present andhe relates many interesting incidents of the early days when the mode of life was very dissimilar to that of thepresent time. In his farm work he used crude machinery, much of the labor of tilling the fields and caring for thecrops being done by hand.
John Pridgeon, Jr., was born June 26, 1872, upon the farm where he yet resides, and it has been his home
8
continuously since. Under his father's direction he worked in the fields and his education was acquired in thedistrict schools. On the 31st of January, 1891, he wedded Miss Mollie Kimmell, who was born in Defiance,Ohio, on the 2nd of January, 1873. Her father Columbus Kimmell, was born in Richland county, Ohio, in April1832, and was of German descent. He wedded Mary Dean, who was born in Richland county in November,1841. He had lived in Ohio until about 1886, and then removed to Hillsdale county, Michigan, where both heand his wife now reside. They became the parents of eight children, four of whom are now living: Joseph, I.W.and Maude, all residents of Hillsdale county; and Mrs. Pridgeon. John and Mollie (Kimmell) Pridgeon have fourchildren: Glenn D., Lester A., William harold and Mary W., constituting a bright and interesting family. Mr.Pridgeon belongs to the California Tent of Maccabees, while his wife affiliates with the Ladies of theMaccebees. He is a representative of one of the oldest families of the township, and the work which was begunby his grandfather and continued by his father is still being carried on by him. The name of Pridgeon has longstood for agricultural progress and loyal citizenship and the subject of this review is a worthy representative ofthe family.

Notes for CHARLOTTE PRIDGEON:Article on Charlotte's murder in the Detroit News, March 7, 1874.
"FATAL FLIRTING. Charlotte Pridgeon Tantalized Her Lover. AND PAID FOR IT IN HER HEART'SBEST BLOOD. A SAD STORY OF WOMAN'S FOLLY AND MAN'S WRATH. Some strange Incidents ofa Strange Courtship - - A Sinless Liaison. Last evening a shocking murder was committed at the house of Mr.Straight, No 240 Lafayette street east. THE VICTIM was Miss Charlotte Pridgeon, aged 23 years who hadbeen boarding at Straight's since Wednesday last. She was a sister of Capt. John Pridgeon of this city. Themurderer was William Thomas Underwood, an Englishman 33 years of age, who is by trade a sailor, and hasalso worked in shipyards in this city. Last evening about 7 o'clock Underwood called at Straight's house to seeMiss Pridgeon. After being in the house a few minutes she asked him to go out and take a walk, to which heassented. After being out for about an hour they returned to the house, when she bid him good-night andrapped at the door. Underwood then drew a knife and FRANTICALLY STABBED HER IN THE HEART.He then ran into the street, and ran down Lafayette street to Antoine, and thence to Gratiot street, where hemet patrolman E.F. Deitrich, and surrendered himself. A few second after Miss Pridgeon was stabbed, Mr.Straight answered her rapping by opening the door, when she staggered into the hall, gasping out: "I amdying, I am stabbed. THAT MAN KILLED ME." Mr. Straight caught her in his arms, her blood welling outin a torrent from the gaping wound, and covering her dress and the carpet. She died in a few moments. Theconsternation of the family and some visitors then in the house may be imagined. After the news of thehorrible deed spread around, the house was crowded with friends and relatives of the deceased, as well asstrangers, attracted by a morbid curiosity. SHE WAS TALL AND GRACEFUL, with a handsome face, andblonde hair and complexion. When alive her manner was engaging and pleasant, and with her prepossessingappearance made her a general favorite with the other sex. Her features, when cold in death, bore little traceof the agony or horror, except a noticeable contraction of the mouth and muscles of the face. As soon aspossible, the police authorities were summonsed, and coroner Rowley and Griffin arrived and HELD ANINQUEST, Officer Deitrich being sent for, testified the Underwood had come up to him on Gratiot street,looking wild and excited, and said, "Have you got your handcuffs with you?" He asked him the reason of hisinquiry, when Underwood said "Come along and I will tell you." They went into a neighborhood saloon,where Underwood called for and drank two glasses of whisky. He then said to Deitrich, "I have killed mylove; take me and lock me up." and was taken to the Gratiot street station where between his groans and sobshe told the local?ty and some of the circumstances of the murder. Mr. Straight testified to the circumstancesdetailed above, and Mrs. Klaney [Canney], sister of the murdered girl, testified that Charlotte had called ather house yesterday forenoon, since which time she had not seen her till she beheld her dead. THE JURYRETURNED A VERDICT that the deceased came to her death from a wound inflicted with a knife byWilliam Thomas Underwood. THE MURDERER'S REMORSE. Underwood, since his incarceration hasbetrayed a pitiable amount of anguish. Were it not for the horrible position in which he is placed, and thedreadful act he has committed, his conduct might be characterized as weak and childish. He paces his cell,grovels on the stone floor or frantically throws himself on the wooden bench in paroxysms of weeping andwailing. He is about five foot eight in height, and weighs about 140 pounds. He is somewhat round-shouldered, and his appearance is the very reverse of a lady-killer, in the common acceptation of the term,being plain in face and figure and having the appearance of a hard working, honest, and common-placelooking man. He is decently dressed, but has not a particle of style about him. His hair is brown and straight,and he has light whiskers under his chin and a thin, light moustache. His face is partially bronzed with out-door work, and his hands show that he has been used to severe manual labor His statement, as given byhimself to an EVENING NEWS reporter, is as follows, though more connected, in form, and omitting manypauses and exclamations, in which he seemed unable to proceed, or answer questions. THE MURDERERSSTORY. "My name is William Thomas Underwood. I am a native of London, England. All my relatives livethere, - - father, mother, sister, brother, and other relatives. I always address my letters to my cousin, WilliamWaker, 3 Grove Terrace, Bishop's Road, Bayswater, London. I have been in this country for 14 years, and forthe last ten years have been in different places on the lakes. I was married in Cleveland, but my wife and Iseparated. It was all my fault. I used to drink then. Last summer I sailed on the John Burt, but most of the timeI have worked in a shipyard in this city. THE FIRST TIME I SAW CHARLOTTE was on the 29th ofNovember last. I was boarding at her sister-in-law's, Mrs Eliza Pridgeon, and she used to come there. She hadbeen going with three or four young men, but she gave them all up for me. It was on Christmas that I firsttold her my love, and she agreed to go with me, and give everybody else up. She was always changing herboarding place, staying with one sister or sister-in-law and then with another. I LOVED HER BETTERTHAN MY LIFE, but she used to torment me awfully." The reporter asked him whether the fact that shefound out about his having a wife in Cleveland influenced her conduct in the latter respect. "No; she told methat she had written to my wife, and had received for answer that everything between her and me was at anend, and Charlotte said she was satisfied as to that. My wife sent me back her wedding-ring and said she wasnever going to get married again. I don't know whether she ever got a divorce or not." Reporter - - Did youlive with Miss Pridgeon? Underwood - - Yes, I'll tell you about that. Some time ago she went out to see afriend in Clio, and when she came back she came up to the shipyard after me. We were engaged to be marriedthen. I went with her to the Paris Hotel, near the foot of Riopelle Street, and we lived there for a week,sleeping together every night. BUT SHE WAS A VIRTUOUS GIRL. It may seem strange, but I would swear
11
my life on it, so far as I am concerned. Her folks were all down on her about going with me. They said therewas something curious about it. SHE USED TO TORMENT ME about a man she knew in Clio, and used toget telegrams from him, and would show me only the top address of them and keep me nearly distracted. Itold her three times solemnly, "Now Lottie, if you don't love me, tell me, and I will go." But when we wouldget so far as that, she would say, 'I do love you, Tommy, and I can't live without you.' But she would go onjust as bad in a little while. After we were engaged I PAID HER BOARD AND EXPENSES, and bought herthings. "She concluded to leave her sister-in-law's house and go to another boarding house. I went with her toMr. Straight's, and we were accompanied by Mrs. Turner, who lives at 122 Franklin street. I paid $5 for herboard in advance. Mrs. Turner recommended her as a respectable young lady, that was to be married to me. Iwent every night to see her. Mr. Straight was to have a sociable, or party, last night, and he and his wifeinvited me. Lottie knew that I was invited. When I got to the house she said as soon as I got in, that shewanted to go out with me. She put on her things and we had no sooner got out, than SHE BEGAN AT ME.She said my clothes and appearance were not good, and that I should not try to disgrace her by coming intocompany with her dressed that way. I said, "My God, Lottie, you know that I give you every cent I can get,and I can't do that and dress up too." Then she said if I had no respect for myself I might have some for her.HER WORDS CUT ME TO THE HEART. No one will ever know what I have done for that girl. Here wasI, engaged to be married to her, and paying her bard, and when I came into the house I found that she hadagreed to be the partner of a Gentleman who had been invited to the party. If she had told me that she didn'twant me to come I would have stayed away. When we came to the door I asked her if she intended to keepher word and marry me. She wouldn't give me any satisfaction. She told me if I went in with her, she wouldleave the house and go away that moment, and take up with the Clio gentleman. I WAS OUT OF MYSENSES and I did not know what I was doing. My heart was nearly bursting, and I could hardly seeanything before my eyes. I am the murderer of my love. I KNOW NOW THAT SHE LOVED ME. Oh, myGod, if I could see her. Do you think they will let me see her?" The reporter said it was altogetherimprobable, and, after some further conversation, left the murderer in his lonely cell, a prey to the most vividremorse, and declaring piteously that all he wished was to be laid in the same grave with her. THEMURDERER'S WEAPON was a knife such as sailors generally use. The blade is about five inches long, andhe wore it in a sheath attached to a leather belt round his waist. LOVE LETTERS. At the station may beseen a number of letters addressed to him from Miss Pridgeon, in which she used the most affectionate terms,such as "Dear Willie," and "Ever your Lottie."
A similar article was also published in the Detroit Free Press and abbreviated versions were found in theMarch 8, 1874 Atlanta Constitution (Atlanta, Georgia), the March 12, 1874 Athens Messenger (Athens, Ohio)and the March 9, 1874 Daily Democrat (Sedalia, Missouri).
The mental state of the murderer was detailed in the Detroit News and Free Press. The Free Press article ofMarch 10, 1874 follows.
"THE PRIDGEON TRAGEDY. The murderer Underwood Determined to Starve Himself to Death. Theremains of the murdered Charlotte Pridgeon were taken to Royal Oak and buried on Sunday. Underwood isstill in jail, but has neither slept or eaten a mouthful of food since his arrest. The jail officials and severalfriends have in vain tried to persuade him to take rest and eat, but all their importunities he has but one reply:"My love can't eat no more, and I'll never eat no more too." Day and night he paces up and down, and he isnow grown so weak that he can with difficulty keep his feet. Sunday evening Dr. D.C. Yemans administereda hypodermic injection of morphine, in the hope that it would produce sleep, but the drug had no visible effectupon him. He is gradually becoming demented, and there is little reason to believe that he will not survivevery long. He pays no heed whatever to his fellow prisoners, and whenever outsiders question him about thedeplorable affair of which he is the unhappy cause his emotion is as great as when he first came to realizingsense of what he did on that fatal Friday night. It is understood that a council of physicians will be called inhis case."
That the murderer, William Thomas Underwood, did survive however, is learned in part of a biographicalsketch of Henry M. Cheever (counsel for the defense) from Landmarks of Wayne County and Detroit byRobert B. Ross and George B. Catlin, 1898 as follows:
"In the Underwood murder case, at Detroit in 1878, the defendant was charged with the murder of LottiePridgeon by stabbing her. The killing was admitted; it seemed to be without possible provocation or excuse,and so strong was public sentiment and the press against the prisoner that the judge before whom the case wastried expressed surprise that any defense should be attempted. The defense was emotional insanity, and theprisoner was acquitted."

Joseph Carey was charged with stealing five stone in weight of wool locks, the property of John Caudwell, atFrithvile on the 27th July 1864. He was sentenced to seven years penal servitude.
He was first sent to the prison at Lincoln, then on the 19th December 1864 he was sent to Wakefield Prison. Hewas transferred to Chatham Prison on the 10th October 1865, were he staid until the 27th March, 1867. He wasthen sent by rail to Sheerness where he boarded the Norwood, which set sail for Portsmouth and Portland on the28th March 1867. Picking up more convicts on the way.
On the 18th April 1867, the Norwood left Portland, for Western Australia. They arrived of Fremantle on the the13th July 1867. Around 5 p.m. the pilot, a man called Jacklin came aboard and the ship dropped anchor at 6.30p.m. At 9.45 a.m. on the 14th July, guards from Fremantle Prison came aboard. At 1.00 p.m. all the prisonerswere disembarked.
Joseph become convict number 9400. He got his Ticket of Leave on the 22nd October 1868 and his Certificate ofFreedom on the 3rd January 1872.
Joseph had a small holding at Chittering, Western Australia. He had a garden near the lake on the ChitteringValley road, about a mile and a half south of Chittering Church. He leased 100 acres in 1877.
A TICKET-OF-LEAVE was granted to a probationer after a specified period, adjusted according to hisbehaviour. When discharged on ticket-of-leave a prisoner received a full kit of workman's clothing, with blanketsand rations sufficient to take him to the district of his choice. He received only a portion of his gratuity, but theremainder was handed over when he reported to the resident magistrate in the town to which he travelled. Thiswas to ensure that it was not squandered before he reached his destination. He had to report to the magistrate
18
within seven days of his arrival and twice a year thereafter. If he wished to go to another district he had to carry apass issued by the magistrate. He could choose his employer and was protected, and bound, by the Masters andServants' Act; but he could be bound for a year while his master could discharge him with only a month's notice.Also he had to notify the magistrate of any change in employers.
A ticket-of-leave man could be self-employed and engage other ticketers. He could own land and property; andhe could marry, although during the earlier years of the convict era permission of the comptroller general wasrequired before the ceremony.
The restrictions were irksome. A ticketer had to be indoors after ten o'clock at night. He had to carry his ticket atall times and show it on request. He could not own or carry firearms without permission. Nor was he supposed towork on ships, a condition that was circumvented on several occasions. He could be arrested without a warrantand tried summarily by a single magistrate without a jury. A re-conviction meant harsher punishment than thatmeted out to a free man.
Until 1857 many convicts received their ticket-of-leave on the day of arrival.
If a ticketer could not find employment he remained at the hiring depot and worked with the probationers in roadparties, but he retained certain ticketer privileges. He received wages for this work and often preferred this toprivate employment, until Governor Kennedy ordered that no ticketer in government employment was to be paida labourer's wage. After that such men soon found other work.
A CERTIFICATE OF FREEDOM was granted when the full term expired. Ex-convicts disliked the term expiree(for a convict whose term had expired). They preferred to be known as 'government men'.

As related by Joyce McClain:
"Samuel Pridgeon didn't move to Weidman, MI...he always lived on his farm on the county line...Isabellaside.....Mecosta Co. across the road. His grandson, Stanley Pridgeon, (and father of Carolyn Ruth Pridgeon) toldme the story about how Samuel always wanted to die "with his boots on". He ate his supper...went in to lie downon the bed to rest and when he didn't get up, they discovered he was dead...so he did die with his boots on.
22
Samuel died at his farm home on the Isabella/Mecosta Cos. line.
This past September a group of Pridgeons (from North Carolina and Michigan) met at a home west of Weidmanand we made a tour of the area looking at places where the Pridgeons lived. The old Samuel Pridgeon (#32)home is still standing but has had the upper floor taken off...the barn is gone...but we stopped and talked to thelady who lives there and she said yes, her home was the former home of Samuel and Catherine "Kitty"Pridgeon."

Notes for CAPTAIN JOHN EDWARD PRIDGEON:From the Racine Daily Herald (Racine, WI)
March 1, 1879 - "Capt. John Pridgeon has purchased the schooner Michigan from the Detroit Dry DockCompany for $35,000 cash. It is said that Capt. Pridgeon intends to put the MIchigan and the schooner E.A.Nicholson behind the tug Crusader this summer, and that he will keep them both in the grain trade betweenChicago and Buffalo."
From the History of the Great Lakes, published 1899Pages 421-422
"CAPTAIN JOHN PRIGEON, for many years one of the most important characters in the marine interests ofDetroit, was born in Lincolnshire, England, where his father operated a small rented farm. His parents came toAmerica when he was seven years of age, settling in Greenfield township near Detroit. Here he attended school ashort time and this, together with some early trade in England, formed the whole of his early education. When hewas thirteen years of age Captain Pridgeon came to Detroit, and first found employment as a teamster for E.Ferguson, afterward becoming manager for a man named Fields, who did general hauling business. He nextdrove stage between Detroit and Mt. Clemens for Burrell & Rose, and the following year engaged as cook on aDetroit river scow, earning twelve dollars a month. For three years he drove teams during the winter, and sailedin the summer. When John Robinson built the steamer Boston, he went on board as decksweeper, and wasafterward deckhand. He sailed on the Boston one summer for twelve dollars per month, and worked in a liverystable that winter. During all this time, no matter how small his earnings, a portion was saved and put by for thefuture, thus laying the foundation for a substantial large fortune. Captain Pridgeon all this time had a predilectionfor the sea, and at the age of eighteen he went to New York and signed as an ordinary seaman in the UnitedStates navy. After a course of training on the receiving ship North Carolina he was put on board the UnitedStates sloop Albany, of the South Atlantic Squadron. While on this vessel he visited most all of the southernports, including those of the West Indies and South America. In 1851 the Albany returned home with a numberof American citizens who had been engaged in the Lopez insurrection in Cuba, they having been surrendered tothe United States authorities by the Spanish government, and Captain Pridgeon returned to Greenfield with about$500, the savings of his three, years cruise. He soon after came to Detroit and shipped on the small steamerTelegraph as wheelsman. In the winter he bought a team and a pair of bob sleds, and worked in the lumberwoods near Lexington. At the end of the winter he came to Detroit with a capital of $8oo. He continued workingin this way for two or three years, teaming and sailing, and finally found himself worth about $3,000. At lengthhe sold his horses, wagons and tools, and bought a little steamer, the United, with which he did a profitable
24
towing business for a couple of years. He cleared $4,000 the first season, about $3,000 the second,and sold hissteamer for $4,000, leaving him with about $12,000, which included his home.The next season he purchased of Oliver Newberry the propeller Napoleon for $6,000 cash, and for two years dida general towing business in the North channel, at St. Clair flats. He subsequently sold the Napoleon andpurchased the steamer Canada, which he also used in the towing business. From 1866 to 1884 Captain Pridgeonwas probably the largest owner of tugs, steamers and sailing vessels at the port of Detroit. His investments werealmost universally successful and at the time of his death, which occurred December 6, 1894, his estate wasvalued at over $1,000,000. During the latter years of his life, he converted his business into that of contracting,disposing of vessels when he could do so to good advantage; but the firm of John Pridgeon & Son still continuedto do a large and profitable vessel trade.Captain Pridgeon married Miss Emma Nicholson, daughter of a Canadian farmer, who lived about nine milesback of Windsor. Mrs. Pridgeon is still living, together with two children, John Pridgeon, Jr., and a daughter,Mrs. Harry Milward. For a period of eight years Captain Pridgeon was a member of the Board of WaterCommissioners of Detroit; the period of his service being marked with many improvements in the water works,to all of which he gave a great deal of his time and attention. He was cordially esteemed by the employers of theboard, and at the expiration of his term of service he retired from public life with the respect and goodwill of hisassociates and of the public."
From: Michigan Pioneer and historical Collections, 1894-95.
"December 6, 1894, Captain John Pridgeon, aged 64 years. Captain Pridgeon was a self made man; born on afarm in Lincolnshire, Eng., he emigrated at the age of 7 with his father, who settled first on a farm in Greenfield.From the date of his arrival in the United States he began the work of life on his own account, all the educationhe ever received was obtained by close observation and experience. He was a wonderful judge of character andearly scrutinized the manner and methods of successful men, whom he chose for his models in the operations ofhis life. He was generous, but was careful in the dispensation of his gifts and first learned the use that was to bemake of them. His employees were always treated justly, but were expected to perform their part honestly. Hewas the father of ex-Mayor John Pridgeon, Jr."

" Incident, Anecdote, Personal Comment by David M. Carey
25
One of Detroit's notable elections resulted in making John Pridgeon jr., her mayor. His Republican opponentwas the late Dr. Yemens. Neither had ever figured largely in politics, and the man who won out never cared arap for the game. He likes business, is adapted to it and knows the ins and outs as behooves a man of affairs inthis rapidly moving age. It was as clear a case of paternal pride as ever came within my observation.
Capt. "Jack" Pridgeon had done well for his part in making Detroit. He was one of those sturdy characters thatput the hallmark on American life and that we love to read of in American fiction where the imagination has factto work upon. Nothing daunted him, and when his ambition set a stake he reached it in carrying out his plans.Plain, blunt and tenacious of purpose, endowed with the strongest common sense and wonderfully capable, hewas a good man for a friend and a bad one for his enemies.
It is all to the credit of this man's memory that he fought his way to the top as he did. an illustration will helpto a conception of his character. He landed a big load of cordwood and delivered it on dock as per order fromCapt. Ward. Capt. "Jack" wanted the money under his scheme for enlarging his business, and had been promisedcash on delivery. He went twice to the quarters of Capt. Ward and was informed that the gentleman could not beseen. No three times and out for Capt. Jack. He brushed aside the understrappers and landed in the presence ofthe marine mogul. the latter was not accustomed to having his orders disregarded, and he played his hand thehigher, because he saw a very determined looking man before him.
"Do you know who I am?" he shouted. "I'm Capt. Ward, sir and I consider this intrusion d_____dimpertinent, sir."
"I don't care a ripperty rapperty rip if you're a dozen Capt. Wards billed as one. I'm Captain Jack Pridgeon.You ordered a cargo of wood and it's on the dock. If you don't give me your check I'll give you a rough handlingon the sidewalk by way of the window. Don't ring that bell, or by the living ippity ip I'll wring your neck."
The check was given then and there and each man profanely warned the other never to cross his hawser again,but characters like that warm to a good fighter, and they did an enormous volume of business afterward.
This gives you a line on the man who said that his son must someday be mayor of Detroit. It was no emptyboast from a strong man accustomed to victory. The son was worthy and the father determined. The campaignorganization was simply perfect. "Cash" Taylor at headquarters exemplified his Christian name. It was not arace but a runaway, for Pridgeon carried every ward and had an overflow vote nearly big enough to elect anothermayor.
The old gentleman was delighted and the people were well served by a safe, conservative, conscientious chiefexecutive who stopped leaks and kept the machinery running smoothly without scandal and extravagance."
Excerpts from an article in the Grand Traverse Herald, May 3, 1867.
"Chicago and Sarnia Line. As the Boats in this Line will touch at Northport during the season, the followingnotice of them, which we find in the Detroit Advertiser and Tribune, may not be uninteresting to our readers:
This popular and prosperous line, running in connection with the Grand Trunk Railway, is now owned andmanaged by Capt. John Pridgeon. It is composed of the B.F. Wade, Montgomery, Sun and City of Fremont.
The B.F. Wade is known round all the lakes as being one of the most magnificient vessels that float these waters.She is 1,256 10-100 tons burthen, length overall 245 feet, breadth of beam 33 feet, and depth of hold 15 feet.
The Montgonery laid up last winter in Chicago, and has been entirely refitted, and to a considerable extentrefurnished - She is a splendid boat, 1,104 tons burthen, and ranks next to the Wade in the line.
The City of Fremont is a new boat, which came out last June. She was built in Cleveland by Qualo and Martin,for the Fremont Transportation Company. She is of 600 tons burthen, 165 feet in length overall, 27 feet sixinches beam and 11 feet six inches hold.
The Sun laid up last winter at Buffalo. She has also been refitted and will come out this season decidedlyimproved. She is of 650 tons burthen and has as captain Robert A. Jones and as clerk Wm. MItchell."

Found With Wound in Head and Horse Standing on Him. No Witness To Accident.Recovery Expected. - Ed Burley one of the teamsters at P.M. Houghton and Co.'s elevator, met with a painfuland serious accident yesterday noon that might have proven fatal had he not been discovered in time. Mr.Burley went to the elevator barn after dinner to hitch up a team and hadn't been gone from the office morethan five minutes before word came that he had been kicked by one of the horses. Attention was directed tothe barn by the kicking of the horses and when others appeared on the scene one of the horses had Mr. Burleyunder its feet. The unfortunate man was taken from his perilous position in a semiconscious condition, and aphysician was immediately summoned. On examination it was found that he had received a fracture of theskull, the which, while serious, is not such as to cause alarm, for his recovery is confidently expected in thecourse of time. As there were no other persons in the stable with Mr. Burley at the time of the accident thecause and details are more or less supposition. It is thought that one of the horses kicked the unfortunate manin the head and that he fell under them. After receiving proper attendance from the physician Mr. Burley wastaken to his home where at last reports he was resting as easily as could be expected under the circumstances.According to reports, his was a most miraculous escape."

Burley was burned to the ground. The house was one of the best in town, butaside from the matter of loss, an even sadder circumstance was that Mr. Burley, who had been seriously ill fora number of weeks, had to be carried from his burning home to the home of a neighbor where he was caredfor temporarily. The fire was discovered by Mrs. George Hathley who, at the time, was on her way downtown. As nearly as can be judged, the fire originated from a spark which came from a chimney and foundlodgement in the roof, burning its way through and setting a second story room on fire. This seems to havebeen the case, because when the stairway door was opened, immediately after the discovery of the fire, one ofthe upper rooms was found to be completely in flames. The fire department responded promptly, but the firehad gained such headway that the chemical outfit was wholly inadequate to control it and for some reasonwater was not immediately available. Several children and neighbors did valiant service in saving thehousehold effects on the first floor, but all of the goods on the second story, including most of Mr. and Mrs.Burley's clothing and nearly all of the bedding in the house, was destroyed. Claude Rose, who had beenmaking his home in the Burley household for a number of months and whose room was on the second floor,lost all of his clothing and personal effects, including mementoes of his trips to various parts of the country,none of which, as a matter of course, can be replaced. The loss on the house and contents, over and above theinsurance of $4,500, which we understand was carried, must be considerable. Mr. and Mrs. Burley have takenup their residence in the Crawford home, not far distant from their former one, and we are glad to state thatboth of them take the disaster with heroic courage and that Mr. Burley'' condition does not appear to havebeen rendered worse than formerly. We are but voicing the sentiment of the community when we say thateveryone sympathizes most deeply with Mr. and Mrs. Burley in their trouble and loss."

Excerpts from a telegraph received by the Detroit Free Press and published September 20, 1867.
Port Huron, Sept. 19, 8:45 a. m. A terrible explosion occurred half a mile below here about ten o'clock lastnight. The tug W. K. Muir had picked up a tow and started down the river, when her boiler exploded, killingCaptain Robert Pridgeon, Elijah Pridgeon, Bampton, the first engineer, two firemen and the cook; five arewounded, one seriously. Capt. Wm. O'Neil, of the tug Red Eric, went to the rescue of the wounded, who are nowbeing kindly taken care of at the Larned House. None of the drowned have been recovered. The tug is a totalwreck. No Particulars as to the cause of the explosion. T. J. C.
The unfortunate captain and mate, Robert and Elijah Pridgeon, were well known, and had for a long time beenconnected with the boat. They were both married, and leave families in this city. The engineer had served forsome years in the subordinate station, and had just been promoted to the first place in that service. Of the otherskilled but little is known at present, they being for the most part recently attached to the boat. Only surmises as tothe cause of the catastrophe can be indulged in; it comes almost like the sudden crash of an unseen irresistiblefate. It comes with a suddenness, and the appalling consequences with which death often loves to deal - who, likeother tyrants, " -- delights to smite what, smitten most proclaims the pride of power and arbitrary nod." For whatmore arbitrary than the irrevocable decree whose execution works such ruin, terror and dismay!
LATER DISPATCH - Those drowned by the explosion of the tug W. K. Muir were Rob't Pridgeon, Captain;Elijah Pridgeon, mate; John Kirchean, 1st engineer; Wm. Bampton, clerk and lookout; Charlie, the cook; Jim andJohn, firemen; the surnames of the three latter unknown. The wounded are Thos. Daniels, of Buffalo, faceseriously scalded and bruised; Walter Cartwright, spine severely injured; Oscar Cartwright, wheelsman, foot andback injured; Michael McQueeny, slightly in foot; James Scofield, 2nd engineer, feet scalded. No insurance ontug. None of the killed have been found yet. T.J.C.

Notes for JUDGE DAVID STOCKDALE:From A Twentieth Century History of Allegan County, Mich. edited by Dr. Henry F. Thomas, 1907
" Hon. David Stockdale - To perform all of life's duties well as they presented themselves to him, and at the sametime constantly seeking to increase his knowledge and to improve his condition, seems to have been an innatecharacteristic of the subject of this sketch, and as a consequence he has all through life constantly ascended in hiscareer, ever improving his surroundings and before middle age reaching a position very high in the communitywhere so much of his life has been passed. Few men who began life's real duties at the blacksmith's forge havebeen possessed of sufficient intelligence and power of application to obtain a liberal education and become sothoroughly posted along certain lines as to be able to enter upon a professional career and to succeed therein, andHon. David Stockdale is one of these few.
Mr. Stockdale is of English birth and comes of good old British stock. His parents were William and Jane(Pridgeon) Stockdale, also of English birth, who came to America in 1854, locating in Branch county, Michigan,where the remainder of their lives were passed and where they died each at about the age of eighty years. Hisfather was a farmer in this country and was a man of sterling character, while his mother was a true and noblewoman in every sense of the term. Their son David was born in Wainfleet, Lincolnshire, England, July 26, 1838.His early education was obtained at a private school at Croft, England, where he studied until he was twelveyears of age. Then he was bound out as an apprentice to learn the blacksmith trade, the period of hisapprenticeship being six years. Thus, when he had served his time and attained the age of eighteen years he hadhis trade well learned, but his other earthly possessions consisted merely of suit of clothes. He worked as ajourneyman blacksmith for four years and came to America and Michigan in 1858, whither his parents hadproceeded him several years. He located at Wayland, Allegan county, where he established a blacksmith shop,
41
conducting the same until 1864. In the following year he purchased a farm in Wayland township and operatedthe same for three years. While at the blacksmith's anvil he became interested in legal affairs and read law, andcontinued his studies in this direction throughout his farm life and after his removal to the village of Wayland,which occurred in 1868. This has been his home ever since, although he has been called upon to reside a numberof years at the county seat when holding office.
Mr. Stockdale's eminent fitness for the performance of the duties of public office have led to his selection onnumerous occasions to positions of trust and responsibility. He was the supervisor of Wayland township for tenyears and was also chairman of the county board of supervisors for one year. For twenty-four years he has been ajustice of the peace and in this office he improved the ample opportunity for the study of the law. He wasadmitted to the bar in 1884 and has since this time been a general practitioner. During his residence in WaylandMr. Stockdale has served almost continuously upon the village board of trustees and has been president ofWayland village for no less than nine years. In 1885 he was elected as probate judge of Allegan county and wastwice re-elected, filling this responsible position for twelve continuous years. In 1905 he was elected as amember of the Michigan state legislature and performed his duties in so satisfactory a manner that his partyplaced him in nomination again for a second term. During his first term in Lansing, although a new member, hewas placed upon some of the more important standing and special committees and performed most capable andefficient work thereon. He served upon the committee on elections and his activity thereon resulted in thepassage of the direct nominations law, commonly called the primary reform law, which was enacted by thelegislature of 1905 and which had its first trial by the people of the state of Michigan in 1906. He also servedupon the committee for the amendment and revision of statutes of the state of Michigan and was chairman of thecommittee having in charge the affairs of the Michigan state prison at Jackson. But his main committee work wasdone upon the direct nominations law, concerning which there was more interest manifested by the generalpublic than any other new laws passed by the legislature of 1905.
Mr. Stockdale has been a lifelong Republican and has always taken a deep interest in the doings of his party. Hehas been a power in local politics, active in all party matters and served as chairman of the county Republicancounty committee for fifteen years. He has been delegated to represent his township, county and district at verymany conventions and has missed but one state Republican convention in forty years, going nearly every time asa delegate.
Mr. Stockdale was married in 1859 to Miss Susan A. Young, who died in 1872, leaving three children: WilliamH., who is in the employ of the Rock Island Railway Company at Kansas City, Missouri; David A. Wayland, ofWayland: and John B. Stockdale, who is the law partner of his father, the firm name being David Stockdale &Son. Mr. Stockdale was married a second time, in 1874, to Miss Mary E. Doxey, of Shelbyville, and one childresulted from this union, Leila M., who is the wife of Geo. E. Ryno, of Wayland."

Notes for GEORGE LAWRENCE PRIDGEON:Roses for the Living - Biographical series published circa 1939 in the Weidman Messenger by R. (Rolla) E. Roe.George Pridgeon (transcribed by. L. Johnson)
"The picture you are looking at (photo missing) is that of a pioneer of Sherman township, a man who has therespect of the community, and whose opinions always carry weight. George Pridgeon was born in Californiatownship. Branch county, Mich., Aug. 15,1859. He came to Sherman township in 1879. On May 7,1882, he wasunited in marriage to Addie E. McAIIister, and in that year a home was built on section 19, where they liveduntil 1895; then they homesteaded 80 acres directly across the county line in Mecosta county, on section 24 ofSheridan township. Mr. and Mrs. Pridgeon lived there till 1916, selling their farm a year later and moving toWeidman Nov. 20,1917, where they purchased the George Fisher property. Mr, Pridgeon retired from activework in the fall of 1933. Few men have done active work in their advanced years as has Mr. Pridgeon. He isconservative in politics, and believes that more can be done by hard work and
51
individual planning than can be accomplished by political panaceas. He has never failed to vote dry, or boost forthe betterment of schools.We hope to be favored by Mr. Pridgeon's presence and kindly advice for many years."

"One time, when George was just learning to drive--although he never got the hang of it--he couldn't get his carstarted and Dolph Flowers who owned one of the two local garages (George McClain had the other one) whendown to help George Pridgeon get moving. After Dolph started George Pridgeon moving in an easterlydirection, George didn't know he was moving on his own power and kept going at a fast ?? rate of speed, righton through town and down into the pig pen located at the east end of town. When he got out of his car, he camewalking (storming??) back up to Dolph's garage and demanded to know why Dolph pushed him into the pig penand Dolph told him he had only pushed him a little ways and then had turned right to go to his garage...end ofstory."

From the History of the Great Lakes, published 1899, Pages 507-508 - "JOHN PRIDGEON, Jr. The firststeamboat owned by the late John Pridgeon was the United, in which he hauled sand from Ft. Wayne to be usedin the first paving ever done in Detroit. On this boat he lived with his wife and child, and here1 while a babe inarms, John Pridgeon, Jr., had his first experience in steamboating. In later years1 when the elder Pridgeon haddisposed of all this vessel property, he frequently urged his son to follow his example, but the latter's love for thebusiness1 the charm of it, perhaps, caused him to decline and he is to-day an extensive owner of vessel stock.Our subject was born August 1, 1852, in a cottage on what was then known as the fair ground, near what is nowcalled Sycamore street. When but a little over sixteen years of age he was at work on hoard the propeller B. F.Wade, as clerk. a position he held about four years. He then shipped as clerk on the City of Duluth, runningbetween Chicago and Duluth, and after a time came ashore, and took charge of the office of the Chicago, Sarnia& Grand Trunk line at Ft. Gratiot. His father had a controlling interest in the line, which consisted of thesteamers B. F. Wade, Sun, Montgomery, S. D. Caidwell and Antelope, and he remained in the Ft. Gratiot officeuntil the Chicago & Grand Trunk railway was completed, and the connection between Sarnia and Chicagoabandoned.Mr. Pridgeon then returned to Detroit and went into his father`s office, where he remained until the latter haddisposed of all his vessel property. At the death of the father the son was made one of the executors of the estate.Mr. Pridgeon is largely interested in Detroit real estate, and is a director of the Detroit River Savings Bank. He isalso an officer of the following vessel companies: President of the State Transportation Company, propeller JohnPridgeon, Jr.; vice-president of the Red Star line, steamer Greyhound; vice-president of the White Star line,steamer City of Toledo; president of the Pridgeon Transportation Company, propeller A. A. Parker and bargeB.W. Parker.Soon after his return to Detroit from Fort Gratiot he became interested in politics, and December 23, 1879, hewas appointed a member of the first park commission, instituted by Mayor Langdon. This commission tookcharge of Belle Isle Park immediately after the purchase of the island by the city, but owing to some defect in thelaw the Supreme Court overturned the act of creating it, and the board went out of office. He was electedmember of the city council in 1886, and was a member of that body when it was abolished by the legislature,September 26, 1887. At the election of that year he was the Democratic nominee for mayor9 and, being elected,served during 1888 and 1889. He was subsequently appointed a member of the Metropolitan Police Commissionby Governor Luce, serving until July 1, 1892, when the old commission gave place to a new one appointed bythe mayor.In his public life Mr. Pridgeon earned the respect and good will of the people. His administration of the mayor'soffice was clean, dignified and conservative, and few incumbents of that position have conducted it with lessfriction and more general satisfaction"
From an account of Detroit and Wayne County.
"Concerning the family history of this well known and popular citizen and business man of Detroit pertinent dataappear in the memoir of his honored father, the late John Pridgeon, Sr., on other pages of this work, so that arecapitulation of the same is not here required. The subject of this review has been concerned with the lakemarine business from his youth to the present time and has valuable interests in this important department ofindustrial enterprise. Mr. Pridgeon has the distinction of being a native son of Detroit, where he was born on the1st of August, 1852, and in whose public schools and Professor Bacon's private school he secured his earlyeducational discipline. About the year 1871 he assumed the position of clerk on one of his father's boats, and hecontinued to serve in that capacity until 1874. From 1876 to 1879 he was agent at Port Huron for the Chicagoand Grand Trunk line of steamers, running between Chicago and Port Edward, his father having been the ownerof the controlling interest in this line of vessels. When the line was discontinued, Mr. Pridgeon returned toDetroit, where he became intimately associated with his father in their extensive business of buying, selling andoperating tugs, sailing vessels and propellers. They owned and operated the Detroit ad Windsor Ferry line foryears. He has since continued his operations in this line and has had full control of the enterprise since the deathof his father. He is the largest stockholder in the White Star line of steamers and is treasurer of the company, andhe is a large stockholder in the Dime Savings Bank, of whose directorate he is a member. He has othercapitalistic interests of an important order and is one of the city's substantial and representative business men.Mr. Pridgeon has ever accorded a staunch allegiance to the Democratic party and though he has manifested nooffice-seeking proclivities he has willingly done his part in connection with the administration of municipalaffairs, having been a member of the board of police commissioners until the same was abolished and havingalso served for some time as a member of the board of park commissioners. To the former office he wasappointed by the late Governor Begole. He is prominently identified with the time-honored Masonic fraternity, inwhich he has attained to the thirty-second degree of the Ancient Accepted Scottish Rite, and he also holdsmembership in the Detroit Club and other social and civic organizations. In 1885 he was elected to a seat in the
56
city council, where he was proved a loyal and valuable working member, and in the autumn of 1887 the voters ofhis native city honored him by electing him to the mayoralty. He gave a most progressive and businesslikeadministration, and his record as chief executive of the municipal government is one which reflects credit bothupon himself and the city. In December, 1874, was solemnized the marriage of Mr. Pridgeon to Miss CoraEdgar, who was born in the city of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and of this union were born two sons, both ofwhom died in childhood."
From: History of Detroit and Michigan, 1889 by Silas Farmer.
"JOHN PRIDGEON, Jr., was born at Detroit, August 1, 1852, and is the son of John and Emma (Nicholson)Pridgeon. His father is of English descent and has been for many years largely interested in vessels of variouskinds. John Pridgeon, Jr., attended the public schools of Detroit and about 1871 was first employed as clerk onone of his father's boats, continuing in this position for about five years. From 1876 to 1879 he was agent at PortHuron of the Chicago and Grand Trunk line of steamers running between Chicago and Port Edward. When thisline was discontinued he came to Detroit and has since been interested with his father in their extensive businessof buying, selling, and operating tugs, sailing vessels, and propellers. In 1885 he was elected a member of theCity Council, serving two years, and in the fall of 1887 was elected Mayor of the city. He was married inDecember, 1874, to Cora Edgar. She was born in Pittsburgh. They have had two sons, neither of whom nowliving. His wife is a member of St. Paul's Protestant Episcopal Church."

From the Detroit Free Press, July 8, 1928 - "Pridgeon Home Doomed. Today the wreckers are busy with the oldhome of the late John Pridgeon, Jr., likewise former mayor of Detroit, holding office during 1888-89. When thePridgeon home was built on the southeast corner of Woodward avenue and Alfred street, it was the center of themost fashionable section of the city. There were no stores in the neighborhood, and hotels in the district wereunthinkable. A fashionable boarding house was later established on the on the west side of Woodward avenue,not far from Afred street and here was the forerunner of what might be termed Detroit's first exclusive familyhotel - - though the place was called a mere boarding house in the old days. The lumber and interior trim of thePridgeon home is undoubtedly the pick of Michigan's famous timber lands, as are the interiors of many of the oldWoodward avenue mansions."

1925-10-29 - "STORY OF AN AUTO TRIP TO CALIFORNIABurbank, California, Oct. 20, 1925Dear Messenger:I told the Clio Messenger that I would write and must do as I said, so will give you the route we traveled. We leftArgentine, Michigan, Sept. 15, and landed in Burbank Oct. 6, and had one fine trip. The first day out it rained allday and night. Stayed in Benton Harbor first night. Took the Lincoln Highway at South Bend and then west toOmaha, Nebraska, then south to Kansas City, and then we took the old Santa Fe trail west to Los Animos,Colorado, then south across the corn of Colorado to Trinidad and over the Raton Pass, then southwest to LasTunas, New Mexico, west to Arizona where we stopped and took a good look at the Petrified Forest and thePainted Desert or bad lands of Arizona. These were sights that I will never forget. I am sending you a piece of alog. Would like to send you the whole tree, but can't. The tree is 10o feet long and 3 feet through. I think maybeyou will want to make a story of this, so will send you a folder giving all details, as it will save one a lot ofwriting. I forgot to tell you we visited the old prehistoric Ruins of New Mexico. It, too, was well worth seeing. Iwas told the ruined city must be over thirty thousand years old and has been under ground at least twentythousand years. We then went west through Arizona to needles, California. Here we entered the Mohave desert,and we will remember it, for we got caught in one rain which made the rains in Michigan look like a light dew.My son, Max, said he thought it never rained on the desert, but he knows different now. Well, we landed inBurbank, California, without any further trouble and found my son, Claude, in fine shape. We have been lookingthe country over a little and on Sunday went to see Santa Barbara. They sure did have some shake. Next Sundaywe shall go down to San Diego, where we can cross over to old Mexico and see the sights in that interestingland. Now, if you make a story out of this, fix it up a little, for I have written in a hurry. I am hoping this findsyou all in the best of health and that you will like the little bit of wood I am sending you. I brought it fromArizona and now will send it to Clio there to be deposited with the rest of your keepsakes. I am also sending youa few cards which will also help to make up for what I haven't written. With best wishes from all the Roses,William Rose.
This editor would acknowledge his gratitude to Mr. Rose for contributing the above very interesting account ofhis journey and would also say that the story did not require any "fixing up," as it is as good, or better, thananything we could write. We have arranged the cards which Mr. Rose refers to, a very interesting collection, bythe way, in our front windows where the public may see them, likewise the piece of wood which Mr. Rose refersto."
1925-11-12 - "A FINE RELIC - The piece of tree from the petrified forest of Arizona which we had beenexpecting to receive from Wm. Rose, has arrived and is now on display in the front windows of this office. Itsdelay in reaching us was explained when the expressman delivered it and we found it to weigh about 25 pounds.Our friend "Bill" carried that big piece of rock from Arizona clear to California and from there had it sent to us ata cost of more than three dollars for express charges. That's what we call a real tribute of friendship andincidentally an exhibition of sympathy with our weakness for "relics." We want to say, however, that it isi themost beautiful specimen of its kind we have ever seen outside the national museum at Washington. It is a footlong, six inches square, and is of solid vari-colored agate showing the shape of the tree and the grain of the woodperfectly. Our sincere thanks are hereby extended to brother Bill."
1926-04-15 - "BILL ROSE WRITES - Our old friend Bill Rose of Argentine who, it will be remembered, madean automobile trip to California last summer and sent us a good size section of a tree from the petrified forest, asone of the incidents of the journey, has returned to his home in Michigan after spending the winter in the west.As Bill and his estimable wife, who made the trip with him, have many friends and acquaintances in this section,we are printing below a portion of the letter he sent us on his arrival in Michigan: Argentine, April 6, 1926 -Dear Friends: Well, here we are back in dear old Michigan, after an absence of over six months and we're glad toget back in what I call God's country. We had a wonderful trip and saw a lot of California but there's no placelike dear old Michigan, with all her faults. When we left Burbank we drove over the Pacific Highway toPortland, Oregon, and then over the Columbia Highway to Boise, Idaho. Here we left my son, Max, and camethe rest of the way by rail. I am sending P.O. order to renew The Clio Messenger. With kindest regards, WilliamRose."

ROSE OF CALIFORNIA BACK IN ARGENTINE - The Messenger received a pleasant visit,Monday, from William Rose, a former well known resident of this locality, who later resided at Argentine, andwho, for the past year and a half has lived in Burbank, California. Mr. Rose still owns considerable property onArgentine Lake and is back in Michigan for a limited time for the purpose of disposing of it if possible, as heplans making his home permanently in California. Mr. Rose has been a splendid citizen all of his life, "square asa die" in every attribute of manhood and his many friends will be sorry to learn that he is going to leaveMichigan. They will also sympathize with him most deeply in his bereavement through the death of his belovedcompanion of more than forty years. In coming back to Michigan in May, Mr. Rose passed through the floodedsection of Mississippi and for hundreds of miles saw nothing but water covered land, with occasionally a housetop above it, and with natives in boats going about and towing the carcasses of dead animals to high ground forburial.

BILL ROSE TELLS OF PANAMA TRIP – CIRCLES FROM CALIFORNIA TO OLD HOME NEAR LAKEARGENTINE
Everyone in this vicinity knows, (and everyone who knows) loves Bill Rose of Argentine. His family wereamong the first settlers in this district and he himself, his excellent wife and family, made their home in theseparts for years. Latterly he has resided near his sons in Burbank, Calif., but comes back to Michigan annually tolook after his fine estate on the shores of Argentine Lake. We have said that he has resided latterly in California,but this is only a half truth, because as a matter of fact he has spent a good share of his time traveling over thecontinent, seeing the sights, and trying to locate the most beautiful place to live in. In this charming quest Billhas had almost as many strange experiences as Trader Horn and it is certainly interesting to hear him recountthem. On his last visit to Clio he told the writer of a trip which he had recently taken down the California coast,through the Panama Canal, across to the ancient city of Havana, then to Key West, Fla. And thence by rail to hisold home in Michigan. The story was to us so interesting that we requested Bill to send us something like it forpublication in the newspaper. He obligingly consented and we are presenting the story in his own words a laTrader Horn, to the readers of the Messenger who, we are sure, will thoroughly enjoy reading it. By the way,Mr. Rose sent us one of the cocoanuts which he refers to in his letter and which we have added to our collection.Follows the story:
Argentine, May 15, 1928 Editor Messenger:
Dear Friend:
67
Thought I wouldn’t wait until I came home to Clio to tell you the story so will mail you the pamphlets describingthe countries and cities we visited and also the cocoanut that I spoke to you about. Then you can write your ownstory just as well as though I were there to bother you. To give you the outline, we left the Frisco docks Feb. 28,and the ship ran along the coast of Lower California, in sight of land, for quite a long way, and then no land atall. We reached the coast of Nicaragua and landed at Balboa, at the west end of the Panama Canal, on Feb. 28.It took us one day to go through the canal, and a most marvelous experience it was. I cannot begin to describethe beauty of the scenery and the massive character of the great locks which accommodate the largest vesselsafloat. It was just like one beautiful long dream to me. After getting through the canal we remained one day inPanama to see the sights, a party of six of us employing a guide and automobile and riding all day. The cocoanutI am sending you was picked at the ruins of the ancient city of Panama, sacked and burned by the famous, orrather infamous, pirate Morgan, early in the 16th century. We left Panama Feb. 30, with a four days’ run toHavana, Cuba, ahead of us, where the same bunch again hired an auto and guide for one day, paying thereforefour dollars each, and saw some of the interesting things in Cuba. Havana, it will be remembered, is one of theoldest cities on the American continent and holds within its confines the ashes of Columbus, its discoverer. Oneof the sights in Havana, which appealed to us particularly, was the monument to the American sailors who losttheir lives when the U.S. warship “Maine” was blown up in Havana harbor at the outbreak of the Spanish-American War. We took a steamer from Havana to Key West, Fla., where we spent a couple of delightful days,and then a six hours railroad trip took us to Miami, where we spent two days more, and from there to Bee Ridge,where we visited our dear old friends, Dr. and Mrs. Ingram. We spent two days most delightfully with them andthe came on home by way of Jacksonville, Atlanta, Chattanooga, Cincinnati and Detroit. And – I was sure gladto get back to dear old Argentine.
Sincerely yours,William Rose.

She had beenin failing health for a year or more, having been afflicted with cancer and anemia. She was born in Davisburg,Oakland county, Michigan, August 1, 1861, the daughter of Edward and Mary Ann Hollister, and on September6, 1888, was united in marriage to William Rose of Clio, to whom she had been a loving, helpful and dutifulcompanion for all of the ensuing years. No words of ours can be eloquent enough to pay adequate tribute to thedevotion and to the matchless services of the splendid wife and mother who is gone. No words of ours canportray the tenderness in which her memory will be cherished by her neighbors and friends. Suffice it to say thatthe bereavement which all of these must feel there will creep the constant and deeply comforting influence of thememory of her pure and loyal life. This is one of the beneficial phases of immortality. Mr. and Mrs. Rose werethe parents of four children, Emmon and Hazel, who died in infancy, and Claud T. Rose and William M. Roseboth of whom reside in Burbank. She is also survived by her husband, an old resident of this place, to whom thesympathy of the people of this vicinity will go out in fullest measure. Funeral services were held at the late homeof the deceased in Burbank and her remains were interred in the cemetery at that place, it being her wish that shemight rest near the homes of her children."

When the blizzard was at its height he was caught in a sparsley settled district and as his team was unableto get through the huge drifts he was obliged to find shelter in an abandoned house.

His face was frozen by exposure until it bled before he reached the house and his toes werefrozen. When the storm subsided he was able to get to a place where he secured food for himslef and team andlater reached his destination.

Notes for DAVID MELVILLE DICK:From the Clio Messenger.
120
1924-07-10 - "Mr. and Mrs. Melville Dick and daughter, Joan, of Detroit, spent several days the past week withfriends in Clio."
From the 1920 Wayne County census it was learned that Mary Dick (David's mother) lived at 166 CortlandAvenue in Highland Park.Lester, Grace, Gladys and Harold Wright moved from Clio to Highland Park in 1916. Their address was 200Cortland and they apparently lived there only one year. We had always heard that David Melville Dick lefthome at a very early age which accounts for his absence in the 1920 Mary Dick household. However, in 1916David would only have been 14 years old and quite likely was still living at home. Assuming that Mary Dickand children were living on Cortland in 1916 it seems very likely that Gladys and David were neighbors.Looking at Mapquest maps, they probably lived no more that 4 or 5 house apart. Looks like they met onCortland Avenue in 1916 when David was 14 and Gladys was 16 and, of course, we know that they weremarried in September 1919.

Marriage Notes for GLADYS WRIGHT and DAVID DICK:From a September 16, 1969 newspaper article. "50th Anniversary Celebrated By Wolverine Couple. Mr. andMrs. David Dick, 1865 Ladd Rd., Wolverine Village, were feted at a surprise party given by their children incelebration of their 50th Wedding Anniversary on Sunday Sept. 7, 1969. The couple were wed on September 11,1919, at the North Woodward Presbyterian Church in Detroit. They have been residents of Wolverine since1941. Since their children have grown and moved away from home the Dick's miniature poodle "Tammy" helpsfill the gap of loneliness. She has been a member of the Dick family for over six years. When asked, "who isboss in a family with 50 years of marriage behind them," the immediate answer of both Mr. and Mrs. Dick was,"Tammy". Mr. Dick responded to the question of how do two people live compatibly for this length of time bysaying, "Both husband and wife need that intangible something inside them make them stick to it. Too manyyoung people today go into marriage with the thought that if it doesn't work we'll get a divorce. Divorces are tooeasy," Dick, now retired, was in the building business for most of their wedded life and they have moved fromone house to another right on their street as he completed homes. Still extremely skilled with tools of the trademany items around their present home are expressive of his handiwork, including an attractive windmill sitting intheir waterfront lot. The anniversary party was held at the home of their daughter, Mrs Harold Gustner, inSouthfield. Over 50 guests enjoyed a buffet and 4-hour open house. Life long friends Mr. and Mrs. MonroeStroecker attended from Port Charlotte, Florida. Other children of the Dick's who joined giving the party includetheir daughters, Mr. Robert Wallace, Union Lake, Mrs. Ray Greening, Wolverine Lake, and a son, Glen Dick,Union Lake. The Dicks also have 16 grandchildren."

Notes for MARGARET PEARL HIGGIN:Margaret Higgin was born at home, 90 Medland Crescent, Toronto, Ontario, Canada. She was born at 5 am onJuly 30, 1913. In attendance was Doctor Minerva Reid.
When Margaret was a baby, possibly two years old, she crawled out an upstairs window onto the roof. Aneighbor, Mrs Dwyer, called her mother to tell her that her daughter was on the roof.
When Margaret was five years old, she remembers being outside with her friend Rita Dwyer listening to all thehorns honking and bells ringing on November 11, 1918 when World War I was over.
Excerpt from an e-mail written by Ken Wright to David Gustner and Lynne Greening, 4/16/2000. "That broughtto mind the wedding announcement of Mom and Dad that said they were going to live at 463 Algonquin after
122
their marriage, so I just called Mom to ask about it. She said they never did live with Lester and Grace. Theyrented an upstairs apartment first, on a street that she can't remember. Then they rented a house on Eastlawn, thenrented at 5039 Lakepointe, where they were when I was born (1938), then moved to another rented house onLakewood. Then Dad built the house on 60 Hawthorn Blvd in 1941. She could not remember any of the streetnumbers, but I have a letter addressed to them at the 5039 Lakepointe address. I had no idea that they lived in somany places before Hawthorne, or that they were renting rather than buying. I had just assumed that they lived ina house built by Dad and Lester. Wrong! Another thing she mentioned that I didn't remember is that Lester andGrace moved to Grosse Pointe after Mom and Dad. She thought about a year, making their move fromAlgonquin to Hawthorn in 1942." We later learned the actual sequence and addresses of where Harold andMargaret Lived.

Last year in thecarnival, Martina took part in two of the short skits that were given. As a hobby she keeps scrapbooks. She hasone on the Detroit Tigers, one on the Dionne Quints, another filled with favorite short stories cut from magazinesor papers, and last but not least, one on a trip she took last year. This sophomore has a camera and likes to takepictures, especially when you don't know about it. Another scrapbook or album holds these pictures. Martinaplays the piano too. Her favorite songs are "Rosalie" and "There's a Gold Mine in the Sky." She likes to read anddoes a lot of it. She has a small library of her own and wants to train at the University of Michigan to become alibrarian. She likes to travel and has crossed the straits of Mackinac and saw Sault Ste. Marie and the Locks thatlink Lake Superior with St. Mary's River. She would like to see Yellowstone National Park. Martina said shethought her biggest thrill happened when she saw the Tigers win over the Yankees. It was the Tigers third gameand they had lost the other two. -- Verna May Demeritt"

Notes for MARK PRIDGEON:From an article in the 1998 Michigan State University newsletter, The State News.
"All in the family. For some students, attending MSU is in the genes. By Mary Sell, State News Staff Writer.
Going away to school an leaving home can be a pretty scary thing for some students. But for some MSUstudents who grew up green and white, the transition wasn't hard at all.
"Nothing beats when you're a little kid going to a football game with you dad, " said Mark Pridgeon, whograduated from MSU in May. "I was 6 or 7 and I didn't even know the rules of the game, but it was great."
Pridgeon grew up influenced by the Spartan spirit like brother and two sisters and their father, MSU alumnusMichael Pridgeon. Mark's mother, Diane also attended MSU for two years. Michael's father, Dean Pridgeon,attended MSU for two years and later served on the MSU board of Trustees for eight years.
"I had green-and-white diapers," Pridgeon joked. "When I was a kid we were always coming (to MSU) for
158
basketball games and stuff like that.
Pridgeon graduated with an accounting degree and was hired by the Deloitt Touche accounting firm in GrandRapids. He grew up on a farm in Montgomery.
"Farming has been such a base of my family," he said.
Pridgeon's father and grandfather took agriculture classes at MSU. However, he said his family supported hisdecision to go into accounting, although he started out in the pre-veterinary medicine program.
Pridgeon, 22, recalls coming to MSU for 4-H Exploration days and junior high basketball camps when he wasyounger.
"This place was bigger than life," he said.
In 1988, Mark and his family traveled to Los Angeles to watch MSU defeat University of Southern Californiain the Rose Bowl. Mark, then 12, heard Magic Johnson give a speech at the Grand Plaza Hotel, where thePridgeons stayed. Mark also got Johnson's autograph.
"When you've got people like (Magic Johnson) speaking for Michigan State, you have to be pro-State," hesaid.
Although Pridgeon has always bee pro-State, he said there were a lot of reasons to come to MSU.
"It really was a combination of things," he said. "(MSU) still felt like home to me, because it had been such abig part of my life. When I'd visit other schools, they felt too foreign."
Mark's older sister, Adrian, chose to go to Adrian College. His younger sister, Rachel, will be a freshman atHope College this fall.
"My sisters, I guess, wanted something more like they were used to," said Pridgeon, referring to the smallhigh school the siblings graduated from. Mark graduated in 1994 with 43 students from Reeding High School.
Although going to MSU is a tradition for Pridgeon's family, he said they did not try to force him to go toMSU.
"There was no pressure. Luckily, my sister broke the mold for me," he said. "I always knew I wanted to go toMSU, but I still looked around. My parents kind of humored me by taking me to visit other schools, but Iknew they didn't really want me to go to any of them.
Although his parents were open to some schools, Pridgeon said U-M was "never an option,"

Notes for DAVID LEONARD GUSTNER:David Gustner is the primary family researcher for most of the related lines on this website. To say that he is themost talented and organized researcher we have ever seen does not begin to give credit to his extraordinaryability. Few families have the luxury of having such a man working almost full time to track down the past in amost unbelievable manner. Dave is magic! He can find anybody. To attest to that, one only needs to examine thebulk of this work. He has made our ancestors come alive. We feel like we know many of them because Dave haslocated and shared so much information about them. He has certainly become our "knowledge base" and we arethankful and grateful for his remarkable talent.
