Slavery Sentiment and Affiliated with the Free Soil Movement, in Which He Was an Earnest and Indefatigable Worker slavery sentiment and affiliated with the free soil movement, in which he was an earnest and indefatigable worker. In 1852 he was elected prosecuting attorney of Jackson county. When the Republican party was formed under the oaks at Jackson Mr. Blair was one of the most prominent participants, and in November of that year he was elected to the state senate on the Republican ticket. While in the senate he was the acknowledged leader. In 1858 he was a candidate for congress, but was defeated by William O. Howard. At the Republican national convention in 1860, which nominated Lincoln, Mr. Blair was chairman of the Michigan delegation and gave his support to William H. Seward, who was the choice of the Republicans of Michigan that year. Mr. Blair was chosen governor of Michigan in 1860 and was re-elected in 1862, faithfully and honorably discharging the arduous duties of the office during that most momentous and stormy period. Retiring from the office of governor in 1865, poorer by many thousands of dollars than when he entered it, but with an untarnished record, he was in 1866 elected a representative in congress and was re-elected twice, serving six years during the trying times of the reconstruction and restoration of the union. In 1872 he left the Republican party and again became a candidate for governor on the liberal Republican and Democratic ticket, but was defeated. This practically ended his political career and since that time as long as his health permitted he attended strictly to his law practice. The people of Michigan are proud of the record made by Gov. Blair during the trying times of the civil war. In selecting officers for the regiments, history shows that he acted wisely and a number of the officers appointed by him gained a world-wide fame by their bravery and devotion to duty. Among those appointed by Gov. Blair was Phil Sheridan. During the past three or four years Gov. Blair had suffered a great deal from ill health, but up to two years ago he gave his attention to his law practice. Ex-Gov. Blair leaves a widow, for whom also there is a warm spot in the hearts of old soldiers on account of her untiring devotion and aid in time of war; also four sons, Charles A. and George H., attorneys in Jackson, Fred J. Blair, a department clerk in Washington, and Austin T. Blair. His religion was of the broad type. He believed emphatically in the golden rule and followed its precepts to the letter. Last Honors to Ex-Gov. Blair: Distinguished men were present from all over Michigan to pay last honors to the memory of Hon. Austin Blair, the war governor of the commonwealth. The body lay in state in his old home in Jackson, which though spacious, was not large enough to hold the people. They gathered on the lawn and sat and stood under the shade of the elms and pines. Old citizens of Jackson county were numerous. A squad of members of the G.A.R. were on guard at the steps of the dwelling. The Loyal Legion were marshaled by Col. Sterling, and marched in double file to view the body. The coffin, with the lid open, stood in the center of the principal room. The face, save for a thin and pinched look, had much the appearance which the deceased bore in his later life. There were mementoes of flowers in many beautiful forms. A portrait, painted some years ago, stood on the mantel. James F. Joy, Judge T.M. Cooley, Gov. Rich, Gen. Alger, Col. Grosvenor, Ex-Gov. Luce and Col. M. Shoemaker were among those present. The G.A.R. and the Jackson military companies, carrying their muskets, marched to the beating of muffled drums. Rev. Washington Gardner delivered the funeral oration. It was an eloquent tribute to the life and public services of Austin Blair. Shrouded in Mystery. Hon. Calvin A. Blood, of Marine City, Found Dead: Hon. Calvin A. Blood, a resident of Marine City since 1845, was found dead in a cottage at 874 Fifteenth street, Detroit, under very peculiar circumstances. The cottage where the body was found has been occupied for about five weeks by a woman named Black, who formerly lived in Marine City and had a considerable family, among them a son named David, 19 years old, and a boy of 9. There is also a grown daughter named Flora. Mr. Blood had been visiting .

Warner and Ida C. Brown Ann Arbor 1963 Composition and Lithoprinted by BRAUN -BRUM FIELD, Inc. Ann Arbor, Michigan Oil.. Ill* H INTRODUCTION The Michigan Historical Collections are a special library of The University of Michigan, con- taining the archives of the University and papers of individuals and organizations throughout Michi- gan. In the beginning there were two different projects. One, begun by Professor Lewis G. Vander Velde in 1934, was a program of collecting manuscript and printed materials relating to Michigan history, primarily for the use of graduate students in his seminar. The other program concerned the collecting and preservation of records of the University. To accomplish this purpose, President Alexander G. Ruthven appointed The Committee on University Archives, of which Professor Vander Velde was the secretary. Firmly convinced that a comprehen- sive collection of manuscripts dealing with the history of the University and the State would be use- ful for students and scholars, he began a vigorous campaign of letter writing and personal visits. Housed for a time in a room in the Clements Library, in 1938, needing more space, the papers were moved into the newly opened Rackham Building. In the same year the Regents established the Michigan Historical Collections and appointed Professor Vander Velde the Director.
