From A Twentieth Century History and Biographical Record of Branch County, Michigan, 1906 by Rev. Henry P. 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 brought to 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. They were married in England and soon afterward crossed the Atlantic to America, hoping to improve their financial condition in the new world with its broader business opportunities. They settled in Pennsylvania, where they lived 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 one hundred and sixty acres. In 1836 he brought his family here, took up his abode upon his claim and began clearing the land. In connection with general farming he became widely known as a stock raiser and dealer. He was a breeder of Devonshire cattle and also of blanded sheep and good horses. He and his wife spent their remaining days upon the farm, his death occurring in 1875, while she passed away in 1884. They were typical pioneer residents, sharing in the usual experiences of life on the frontier and extending cordial hospitality to friend and stranger. In the active work of subduing a wild district Mr. Pridgeon took a helpful part and is classed with the pioneer settlers whose labors have made possible the present advanced condition of the county. Unto him and his wife were born seven children, all of whom reached years of maturity, namely: George, who died in this county; Joshua, who died in Hillsdale county, Michigan; John, father of our subject; Samuel, who lives in Isabella 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 here his youth was passed amid pioneer surroundings. He lived here at the period when most of the homes were log cabins, when much of the land was covered with dense timber and when the work of farming was carried on in but a slight degree. He was married in 1858 to Miss Eunice Lease, a native of California township, whose father was Julius Lease, who came to this country in 1839, and whose mother was a Diamond. There were three children born of this marriage: Benjamin, who is now residing in Seattle, Washington; Henry, a resident of Kalamazoo, 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 this review. The mother died in 1875.
John Pridgeon, Sr., started out in life on his own account when twent-one years of age, and soon afterward purchased his present farm of 80 acres. While paying for it he lived at home. He has always carried on general agricultural pursuits, making his home continuously in California township, and his labors have been rewarded with a gratifying competence. He has cleared many acres of new land and has undergone all the difficulties incident to the establishment of a home on the frontier. he saw the first school house built in the township and he lived here when there were no roads aside from the old Indian trails. he went forty miles to mill and also a long distance to market, but the early settlers depended largely upon what they could raise upon their farms, having few of the conveniences and comforts which are now regarded as essential at this period of our modern civilization. In community affairs he has been deeply and helpfully interested and has served as highway commissioner. His memory forms a connecting link between the primitive past and the progressive present and he relates many interesting incidents of the early days when the mode of life was very dissimilar to that of the present time. In his farm work he used crude machinery, much of the labor of tilling the fields and caring for the crops 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 continuously since. Under his father's direction he worked in the fields and his education was acquired in the district 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 April 1832, 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 he and 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 four children: 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 the Maccebees. He is a representative of one of the oldest families of the township, and the work which was begun by his grandfather and continued by his father is still being carried on by him. The name of Pridgeon has long stood for agricultural progress and loyal citizenship and the subject of this review is a worthy representative of the family.

He was first sent to the prison at Lincoln, then on the 19th December 1864 he was sent to Wakefield Prison. He was transferred to Chatham Prison on the 10th October 1865, were he staid until the 27th March, 1867. He was then sent by rail to Sheerness where he boarded the Norwood, which set sail for Portsmouth and Portland on the 28th 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 the 13th July 1867. Around 5 p.m. the pilot, a man called Jacklin came aboard and the ship dropped anchor at 6.30 p.m. At 9.45 a.m. on the 14th July, guards from Fremantle Prison came aboard. At 1.00 p.m. all the prisoners were disembarked.
Joseph become convict number 9400. He got his Ticket of Leave on the 22nd October 1868 and his Certificate of Freedom on the 3rd January 1872.
Joseph had a small holding at Chittering, Western Australia. He had a garden near the lake on the Chittering Valley 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 his behaviour. When discharged on ticket-of-leave a prisoner received a full kit of workman's clothing, with blankets and rations sufficient to take him to the district of his choice. He received only a portion of his gratuity, but the remainder was handed over when he reported to the resident magistrate in the town to which he travelled. This was to ensure that it was not squandered before he reached his destination. He had to report to the magistrate within seven days of his arrival and twice a year thereafter. If he wished to go to another district he had to carry a pass issued by the magistrate. He could choose his employer and was protected, and bound, by the Masters and Servants' 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; and he could marry, although during the earlier years of the convict era permission of the comptroller general was required 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 at all times and show it on request. He could not own or carry firearms without permission. Nor was he supposed to work on ships, a condition that was circumvented on several occasions. He could be arrested without a warrant and tried summarily by a single magistrate without a jury. A re-conviction meant harsher punishment than that meted 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 road parties, but he retained certain ticketer privileges. He received wages for this work and often preferred this to private employment, until Governor Kennedy ordered that no ticketer in government employment was to be paid a 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'.

"Samuel Pridgeon didn't move to Weidman, MI...he always lived on his farm on the county line...Isabella side.....Mecosta Co. across the road. His grandson, Stanley Pridgeon, (and father of Carolyn Ruth Pridgeon) told me the story about how Samuel always wanted to die "with his boots on". He ate his supper...went in to lie down on the bed to rest and when he didn't get up, they discovered he was dead...so he did die with his boots on. Samuel died at his farm home on the Isabella/Mecosta Cos. line.

Several weeks ago the Vernon towed these two vessels on a reef at Detour, and their owners claimed damages aggregating $33,000. Booth and Son suffered the Vernon to be sold, and under the act limiting the liability of vessel owners all claims against the Vernon can be paid with the proceeds. John Pridgeon, of Detroit, was the highest bidder. He got the boat, free of debt, for $23,350."
From the History of the Great Lakes, published 1899 Pages 421-422
"CAPTAIN JOHN PRIGEON, for many years one of the most important characters in the marine interests of Detroit, was born in Lincolnshire, England, where his father operated a small rented farm. His parents came to America when he was seven years of age, settling in Greenfield township near Detroit. Here he attended school a short time and this, together with some early trade in England, formed the whole of his early education. When he was 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 next drove stage between Detroit and Mt. Clemens for Burrell & Rose, and the following year engaged as cook on a Detroit river scow, earning twelve dollars a month. For three years he drove teams during the winter, and sailed in the summer. When John Robinson built the steamer Boston, he went on board as decksweeper, and was afterward deckhand. He sailed on the Boston one summer for twelve dollars per month, and worked in a livery stable that winter. During all this time, no matter how small his earnings, a portion was saved and put by for the future, thus laying the foundation for a substantial large fortune. Captain Pridgeon all this time had a predilection for the sea, and at the age of eighteen he went to New York and signed as an ordinary seaman in the United States navy. After a course of training on the receiving ship North Carolina he was put on board the United States sloop Albany, of the South Atlantic Squadron. While on this vessel he visited most all of the southern ports, including those of the West Indies and South America. In 1851 the Albany returned home with a number of American citizens who had been engaged in the Lopez insurrection in Cuba, they having been surrendered to the 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 steamer Telegraph as wheelsman. In the winter he bought a team and a pair of bob sleds, and worked in the lumber woods near Lexington. At the end of the winter he came to Detroit with a capital of $8oo. He continued working in this way for two or three years, teaming and sailing, and finally found himself worth about $3,000. At length he sold his horses, wagons and tools, and bought a little steamer, the United, with which he did a profitable towing business for a couple of years. He cleared $4,000 the first season, about $3,000 the second,and sold his steamer 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 did a general towing business in the North channel, at St. Clair flats. He subsequently sold the Napoleon and purchased the steamer Canada, which he also used in the towing business. From 1866 to 1884 Captain Pridgeon was probably the largest owner of tugs, steamers and sailing vessels at the port of Detroit. His investments were almost universally successful and at the time of his death, which occurred December 6, 1894, his estate was valued 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 continued to do a large and profitable vessel trade.

Captain Pridgeon married Miss Emma Nicholson, daughter of a Canadian farmer, who lived about nine miles back 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 Water Commissioners 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 the board, and at the expiration of his term of service he retired from public life with the respect and goodwill of his associates and of the public."

"December 6, 1894, Captain John Pridgeon, aged 64 years. Captain Pridgeon was a self made man; born on a farm 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 education he ever received was obtained by close observation and experience. He was a wonderful judge of character and early scrutinized the manner and methods of successful men, whom he chose for his models in the operations of his life. He was generous, but was careful in the dispensation of his gifts and first learned the use that was to be make of them. His employees were always treated justly, but were expected to perform their part honestly. He was the father of ex-Mayor John Pridgeon, Jr."

" Incident, Anecdote, Personal Comment by David M. Carey
One of Detroit's notable elections resulted in making John Pridgeon jr., her mayor. His Republican opponent was the late Dr. Yemens. Neither had ever figured largely in politics, and the man who won out never cared a rap for the game. He likes business, is adapted to it and knows the ins and outs as behooves a man of affairs in this 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 that put the hallmark on American life and that we love to read of in American fiction where the imagination has fact to 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, he was 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 help to a conception of his character. He landed a big load of cordwood and delivered it on dock as per order from Capt. Ward. Capt. "Jack" wanted the money under his scheme for enlarging his business, and had been promised cash on delivery. He went twice to the quarters of Capt. Ward and was informed that the gentleman could not be seen. No three times and out for Capt. Jack. He brushed aside the understrappers and landed in the presence of the marine mogul. the latter was not accustomed to having his orders disregarded, and he played his hand the higher, 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_____d impertinent, 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 handling on 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 empty boast from a strong man accustomed to victory. The son was worthy and the father determined. The campaign organization was simply perfect. "Cash" Taylor at headquarters exemplified his Christian name. It was not a race but a runaway, for Pridgeon carried every ward and had an overflow vote nearly big enough to elect another mayor.
The old gentleman was delighted and the people were well served by a safe, conservative, conscientious chief executive 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 following notice 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 and managed 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 extent refurnished - 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 six inches 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 decidedly improved. She is of 650 tons burthen and has as captain Robert A. Jones and as clerk Wm. MItchell."

Five men are missing and are supposed to have gone down with the Chamberlain.
The Chamberlain left Milwaukee Wednesday afternoon and was bound for Escanaba for iron. She had the schooner Fayette Brown in tow. The Pridgeon arrived here yesterday morning.
Captain Greenley, of the lost steambarge Selah Chamberlain, says the Chamberlain was struck on the port bow, and was cut down to below the waterline.

In an article in the November 25, 1921 Royal Oak Tribune, Justice Richard H. Rose, the first child of Ransom and Jane, is quoted with reference to the location and type of property originally owned by Ransom as follows: "Justice Richard H. Rose, in discussing the remarkable rise in the value of Royal Oak real estate, recalls that his father sold 40 acres in Ferndale just south of the Machpelah cemetery for about $1,000 about 40 years ago. The judge says that all it was good for was to raise blue racers and mud turtles.".

Here is a bit of a puzzle. It appears that this is the death certificate for the wife of Robert Edwin Pridgeon, brother of Captain Pridgeon. There are, however, some contradictions. We show her, based on several sources, as Eliza Jane McQueery, the daughter of ? McQueery. This Elizabeth, as you see, is shown as the daughter of John McQueen. We show Eliza Jane as being born in March 1846 in Canada. The death certificate shows Elizabeth as born March 7, 1849 in Canada. It seems very likely that Eliza Jane and Elizabeth are one in the same but I'm unable to account for the differences. If we accept that they are the same, we can say that she died February 13, 1913 in Detroit of bronchial asthma. Burial in Mt. Olivet Cemetery, Detroit.

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 last night. The tug W. K. Muir had picked up a tow and started down the river, when her boiler exploded, killing Captain Robert Pridgeon, Elijah Pridgeon, Bampton, the first engineer, two firemen and the cook; five are wounded, one seriously. Capt. Wm. O'Neil, of the tug Red Eric, went to the rescue of the wounded, who are now being kindly taken care of at the Larned House. None of the drowned have been recovered. The tug is a total wreck. 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 been connected with the boat. They were both married, and leave families in this city. The engineer had served for some years in the subordinate station, and had just been promoted to the first place in that service. Of the others killed but little is known at present, they being for the most part recently attached to the boat. Only surmises as to the cause of the catastrophe can be indulged in; it comes almost like the sudden crash of an unseen irresistible fate. It comes with a suddenness, and the appalling consequences with which death often loves to deal - who, like other tyrants, " -- delights to smite what, smitten most proclaims the pride of power and arbitrary nod." For what more 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 and John, firemen; the surnames of the three latter unknown. The wounded are Thos. Daniels, of Buffalo, face seriously scalded and bruised; Walter Cartwright, spine severely injured; Oscar Cartwright, wheelsman, foot and back injured; Michael McQueeny, slightly in foot; James Scofield, 2nd engineer, feet scalded. No insurance on tug. None of the killed have been found yet. T.J.C.

"Alfred Canney and complainant, Sophia Canney, were for many years husband and wife, and, before complainant sued him for divorce, they jointly owned a lot of land in the city of Detroit, - a single - lot, - upon which were two dwelling houses, one of which was rented. Complainant filed a bill of complaint for a divorce. There was a contest, in which Mr. McGrath appeared as the solicitor for Mr. Canney. After a hearing, a decree was granted. In this decree Mrs Canney was required to deed her interest in the real estate to her husband upon his paying her $2,500 within a certain time, and, upon his failure to do so, he was required to deed to her his interest in the houses and lot upon her paying to him $800.00. Mr. Canney did not pay the $2,500, and, before Mrs. Canney paid the $800, she was notified by various parties that they claimed a lien upon the fund. As she did not know to whom to pay the money, this bill was filed. . . . .".

"FATAL FLIRTING. Charlotte Pridgeon Tantalized Her Lover. AND PAID FOR IT IN HER HEART'S BEST BLOOD. A SAD STORY OF WOMAN'S FOLLY AND MAN'S WRATH. Some strange Incidents of a Strange Courtship - - A Sinless Liaison. Last
24 Produced by Ken Wright with Family Historian Descendants of Thomas Pridgeon and Mary Seymour by Generation 26 Jul 2020 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 had been boarding at Straight's since Wednesday last. She was a sister of Capt. John Pridgeon of this city. The murderer was William Thomas Underwood, an Englishman 33 years of age, who is by trade a sailor, and has also worked in shipyards in this city. Last evening about 7 o'clock Underwood called at Straight's house to see Miss Pridgeon. After being in the house a few minutes she asked him to go out and take a walk, to which he assented. After being out for about an hour they returned to the house, when she bid him good-night and rapped 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 he met 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 am dying, I am stabbed. THAT MAN KILLED ME." Mr. Straight caught her in his arms, her blood welling out in a torrent from the gaping wound, and covering her dress and the carpet. She died in a few moments. The consternation of the family and some visitors then in the house may be imagined. After the news of the horrible deed spread around, the house was crowded with friends and relatives of the deceased, as well as strangers, attracted by a morbid curiosity. SHE WAS TALL AND GRACEFUL, with a handsome face, and blonde hair and complexion. When alive her manner was engaging and pleasant, and with her prepossessing appearance made her a general favorite with the other sex. Her features, when cold in death, bore little trace of the agony or horror, except a noticeable contraction of the mouth and muscles of the face. As soon as possible, the police authorities were summonsed, and coroner Rowley and Griffin arrived and HELD AN INQUEST, 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 his inquiry, 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 my love; take me and lock me up." and was taken to the Gratiot street station where between his groans and sobs he told the local?ty and some of the circumstances of the murder. Mr. Straight testified to the circumstances detailed above, and Mrs. Klaney [Canney], sister of the murdered girl, testified that Charlotte had called at her house yesterday forenoon, since which time she had not seen her till she beheld her dead. THE JURY RETURNED A VERDICT that the deceased came to her death from a wound inflicted with a knife by William Thomas Underwood. THE MURDERER'S REMORSE. Underwood, since his incarceration has betrayed a pitiable amount of anguish. Were it not for the horrible position in which he is placed, and the dreadful 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 and wailing. 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-place looking 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 by himself to an EVENING NEWS reporter, is as follows, though more connected, in form, and omitting many pauses and exclamations, in which he seemed unable to proceed, or answer questions. THE MURDERERS STORY. "My name is William Thomas Underwood. I am a native of London, England. All my relatives live there, - - father, mother, sister, brother, and other relatives. I always address my letters to my cousin, William Waker, 3 Grove Terrace, Bishop's Road, Bayswater, London. I have been in this country for 14 years, and for the last ten years have been in different places on the lakes. I was married in Cleveland, but my wife and I separated. It was all my fault. I used to drink then. Last summer I sailed on the John Burt, but most of the time I have worked in a shipyard in this city. THE FIRST TIME I SAW CHARLOTTE was on the 29th of November last. I was boarding at her sister-in-law's, Mrs Eliza Pridgeon, and she used to come there. She had been going with three or four young men, but she gave them all up for me. It was on Christmas that I first told her my love, and she agreed to go with me, and give everybody else up. She was always changing her boarding place, staying with one sister or sister-in-law and then with another. I LOVED HER BETTER THAN MY LIFE, but she used to torment me awfully." The reporter asked him whether the fact that she found out about his having a wife in Cleveland influenced her conduct in the latter respect. "No; she told me that she had written to my wife, and had received for answer that everything between her and me was at an end, and Charlotte said she was satisfied as to that. My wife sent me back her wedding-ring and said she was never going to get married again. I don't know whether she ever got a divorce or not." Reporter - - Did you live with Miss Pridgeon? Underwood - - Yes, I'll tell you about that. Some time ago she went out to see a friend in Clio, and when she came back she came up to the shipyard after me. We were engaged to be married then. 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 my life on it, so far as I am concerned. Her folks were all down on her about going with me. They said there was something curious about it. SHE USED TO TORMENT ME about a man she knew in Clio, and used to get telegrams from him, and would show me only the top address of them and keep me nearly distracted. I told her three times solemnly, "Now Lottie, if you don't love me, tell me, and I will go." But when we would get so far as that, she would say, 'I do love you, Tommy, and I can't live without you.' But she would go on just as bad in a little while. After we were engaged I PAID HER BOARD AND EXPENSES, and bought her things. "She concluded to leave her sister-in-law's house and go to another boarding house. I went with her to Mr. Straight's, and we were accompanied by Mrs.

Turner, who lives at 122 Franklin street. I paid $5 for her board in advance. Mrs. Turner recommended her as a respectable young lady, that was to be married to me. I went every night to see her. Mr. Straight was to have a sociable, or party, last night, and he and his wife invited me. Lottie knew that I was invited. When I got to the house she said as soon as I got in, that she wanted 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 into company 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 was I, engaged to be married to her, and paying her bard, and when I came into the house I found that she had agreed to be the partner of a Gentleman who had been invited to the party. If she had told me that she didn't want me to come I would have stayed away. When we came to the door I asked her if she intended to keep her word and marry me. She wouldn't give me any satisfaction. She told me if I went in with her, she would leave the house and go away that moment, and take up with the Clio gentleman. I WAS OUT OF MY SENSES and I did not know what I was doing. My heart was nearly bursting, and I could hardly see anything before my eyes. I am the murderer of my love. I KNOW NOW THAT SHE LOVED ME. Oh, my God, if I could see her. Do you think they will let me see her?" The reporter said it was altogether improbable, and, after some further conversation, left the murderer in his lonely cell, a prey to the most vivid remorse, and declaring piteously that all he wished was to be laid in the same grave with her. THE MURDERER'S WEAPON was a knife such as sailors generally use. The blade is about five inches long, and he wore it in a sheath attached to a leather belt round his waist. LOVE LETTERS. At the station may be seen 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 the March 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 of March 10, 1874 follows.
"THE PRIDGEON TRAGEDY. The murderer Underwood Determined to Starve Himself to Death. The remains of the murdered Charlotte Pridgeon were taken to Royal Oak and buried on Sunday. Underwood is still in jail, but has neither slept or eaten a mouthful of food since his arrest. The jail officials and several friends 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 is now grown so weak that he can with difficulty keep his feet. Sunday evening Dr. D.C. Yemans administered a hypodermic injection of morphine, in the hope that it would produce sleep, but the drug had no visible effect upon him. He is gradually becoming demented, and there is little reason to believe that he will not survive very long. He pays no heed whatever to his fellow prisoners, and whenever outsiders question him about the deplorable affair of which he is the unhappy cause his emotion is as great as when he first came to realizing sense of what he did on that fatal Friday night. It is understood that a council of physicians will be called in his case."
That the murderer, William Thomas Underwood, did survive however, is learned in part of a biographical sketch of Henry M. Cheever (counsel for the defense) from Landmarks of Wayne County and Detroit by Robert 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 Lottie Pridgeon 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 was tried expressed surprise that any defense should be attempted. The defense was emotional insanity, and the prisoner was acquitted."
From the Inter Ocean (Chicago).
December 11, 1874 - "Underwood is amusing himself in the insane department of the State prison by innocently whittling out ships, while he patiently awaits his examination and discharge. - Detroit News. Underwood it will be remembered, assassinated Miss Pridgeon at Detroit."

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 same time constantly seeking to increase his knowledge and to improve his condition, seems to have been an innate characteristic of the subject of this sketch, and as a consequence he has all through life constantly ascended in his career, ever improving his surroundings and before middle age reaching a position very high in the community where so much of his life has been passed. Few men who began life's real duties at the blacksmith's forge have been possessed of sufficient intelligence and power of application to obtain a liberal education and become so thoroughly posted along certain lines as to be able to enter upon a professional career and to succeed therein, and Hon. 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. His father was a farmer in this country and was a man of sterling character, while his mother was a true and noble woman 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 twelve years of age. Then he was bound out as an apprentice to learn the blacksmith trade, the period of his apprenticeship being six years. Thus, when he had served his time and attained the age of eighteen years he had his trade well learned, but his other earthly possessions consisted merely of suit of clothes. He worked as a journeyman blacksmith for four years and came to America and Michigan in 1858, whither his parents had proceeded him several years. He located at Wayland, Allegan county, where he established a blacksmith shop, conducting the same until 1864. In the following year he purchased a farm in Wayland township and operated the same for three years. While at the blacksmith's anvil he became interested in legal affairs and read law, and continued 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 number of 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 on numerous occasions to positions of trust and responsibility. He was the supervisor of Wayland township for ten years and was also chairman of the county board of supervisors for one year. For twenty-four years he has been a justice of the peace and in this office he improved the ample opportunity for the study of the law. He was admitted to the bar in 1884 and has since this time been a general practitioner. During his residence in Wayland Mr. Stockdale has served almost continuously upon the village board of trustees and has been president of Wayland village for no less than nine years. In 1885 he was elected as probate judge of Allegan county and was twice re-elected, filling this responsible position for twelve continuous years. In 1905 he was elected as a member of the Michigan state legislature and performed his duties in so satisfactory a manner that his party placed him in nomination again for a second term. During his first term in Lansing, although a new member, he was placed upon some of the more important standing and special committees and performed most capable and efficient work thereon. He served upon the committee on elections and
28 Produced by Ken Wright with Family Historian Descendants of Thomas Pridgeon and Mary Seymour by Generation 26 Jul 2020
his activity thereon resulted in the passage of the direct nominations law, commonly called the primary reform law, which was enacted by the legislature of 1905 and which had its first trial by the people of the state of Michigan in 1906. He also served upon the committee for the amendment and revision of statutes of the state of Michigan and was chairman of the committee having in charge the affairs of the Michigan state prison at Jackson. But his main committee work was done upon the direct nominations law, concerning which there was more interest manifested by the general public 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. He has been a power in local politics, active in all party matters and served as chairman of the county Republican county committee for fifteen years. He has been delegated to represent his township, county and district at very many conventions and has missed but one state Republican convention in forty years, going nearly every time as a delegate.
Mr. Stockdale was married in 1859 to Miss Susan A. Young, who died in 1872, leaving three children: William H., who is in the employ of the Rock Island Railway Company at Kansas City, Missouri; David A. Wayland, of Wayland: 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 child resulted from this union, Leila M., who is the wife of Geo. E. Ryno, of Wayland.".

Aug. 15,1859. He came to Sherman township in 1879. On May 7,1882, he was united in marriage to Addie E. McAIIister, and in that year a home was built on section 19, where they lived until 1895; then they homesteaded 80 acres directly across the county line in Mecosta county, on section 24 of Sheridan township. Mr. and Mrs. Pridgeon lived there till 1916, selling their farm a year later and moving to Weidman Nov. 20,1917, where they purchased the George Fisher property. Mr, Pridgeon retired from active work in the fall of 1933. Few men have done active work in their advanced years as has Mr. Pridgeon. He is conservative in politics, and believes that more can be done by hard work and individual planning than can be accomplished by political panaceas. He has never failed to vote dry, or boost for the 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 car started and Dolph Flowers who owned one of the two local garages (George McClain had the other one) when down to help George Pridgeon get moving. After Dolph started George Pridgeon moving in an easterly direction, George didn't know he was moving on his own power and kept going at a fast ?? rate of speed, right on through town and down into the pig pen located at the east end of town. When he got out of his car, he came walking (storming??) back up to Dolph's garage and demanded to know why Dolph pushed him into the pig pen and Dolph told him he had only pushed him a little ways and then had turned right to go to his garage...end of story.".

From the Sandusky Daily Register (Sandusky, OH).
July 5, 1899 - "DETROIT, Juy 4, - At a citizens' meeting held yesterday afternoon a committee of fifteen was chosen with Mayor Pridgeon as chairman to attend the annual encampment of the G.A.R. at Milwaukee for the purpose of securing next year's encampment for this city. The project is looked upon with favor both in the city and throughout the State."
From the History of the Great Lakes, published 1899, Pages 507-508 - "JOHN PRIDGEON, Jr. The first steamboat owned by the late John Pridgeon was the United, in which he hauled sand from Ft. Wayne to be used in the first paving ever done in Detroit. On this boat he lived with his wife and child, and here1 while a babe in arms, John Pridgeon, Jr., had his first experience in steamboating. In later years1 when the elder Pridgeon had disposed of all this vessel property, he frequently urged his son to follow his example, but the latter's love for the business1 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 now called 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, running between 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 the steamers B. F. Wade, Sun, Montgomery, S. D. Caidwell and Antelope, and he remained in the Ft. Gratiot office until the Chicago & Grand Trunk railway was completed, and the connection between Sarnia and Chicago abandoned. Mr. Pridgeon then returned to Detroit and went into his father`s office, where he remained until the latter had disposed 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 is also an officer of the following vessel companies: President of the State Transportation Company, propeller John Pridgeon, 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 barge B.W. Parker. Soon after his return to Detroit from Fort Gratiot he became interested in politics, and December 23, 1879, he was appointed a member of the first park commission, instituted by Mayor Langdon. This commission took charge of Belle Isle Park immediately after the purchase of the island by the city, but owing to some defect in the law the Supreme Court overturned the act of creating it, and the board went out of office. He was elected member 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 Commission by

Governor Luce, serving until July 1, 1892, when the old commission gave place to a new one appointed by the mayor. In his public life Mr. Pridgeon earned the respect and good will of the people. His administration of the mayor's office was clean, dignified and conservative, and few incumbents of that position have conducted it with less friction 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 data appear in the memoir of his honored father, the late John Pridgeon, Sr., on other pages of this work, so that a recapitulation of the same is not here required. The subject of this review has been concerned with the lake marine business from his youth to the present time and has valuable interests in this important department of industrial enterprise. Mr. Pridgeon has the distinction of being a native son of Detroit, where he was born on the 1st of August, 1852, and in whose public schools and Professor Bacon's private school he secured his early educational discipline. About the year 1871 he assumed the position of clerk on one of his father's boats, and he continued to serve in that capacity until 1874. From 1876 to 1879 he was agent at Port Huron for the Chicago and Grand Trunk line of steamers, running between Chicago and Port Edward, his father having been the owner of the controlling interest in this line of vessels. When the line was discontinued, Mr. Pridgeon returned to Detroit, where he became intimately associated with his father in their extensive business of buying, selling and operating tugs, sailing vessels and propellers. They owned and operated the Detroit ad Windsor Ferry line for years. He has since continued his operations in this line and has had full control of the enterprise since the death of his father. He is the largest stockholder in the White Star line of steamers and is treasurer of the company, and he is a large stockholder in the Dime Savings Bank, of whose directorate he is a member. He has other capitalistic 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 no office-seeking proclivities he has willingly done his part in connection with the administration of municipal affairs, having been a member of the board of police commissioners until the same was abolished and having also served for some time as a member of the board of park commissioners. To the former office he was appointed by the late Governor Begole. He is prominently identified with the time-honored Masonic fraternity, in which he has attained to the thirty-second degree of the Ancient Accepted Scottish Rite, and he also holds membership in the Detroit Club and other social and civic organizations. In 1885 he was elected to a seat in the city council, where he was proved a loyal and valuable working member, and in the autumn of 1887 the voters of his native city honored him by electing him to the mayoralty. He gave a most progressive and businesslike administration, and his record as chief executive of the municipal government is one which reflects credit both upon himself and the city. In December, 1874, was solemnized the marriage of Mr. Pridgeon to Miss Cora Edgar, who was born in the city of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and of this union were born two sons, both of whom 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 various kinds. John Pridgeon, Jr., attended the public schools of Detroit and about 1871 was first employed as clerk on one of his father's boats, continuing in this position for about five years. From 1876 to 1879 he was agent at Port Huron of the Chicago and Grand Trunk line of steamers running between Chicago and Port Edward. When this line was discontinued he came to Detroit and has since been interested with his father in their extensive business of buying, selling, and operating tugs, sailing vessels, and propellers. In 1885 he was elected a member of the City Council, serving two years, and in the fall of 1887 was elected Mayor of the city. He was married in December, 1874, to Cora Edgar. She was born in Pittsburgh. They have had two sons, neither of whom now living. 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 old home of the late John Pridgeon, Jr., likewise former mayor of Detroit, holding office during 1888-89. When the Pridgeon home was built on the southeast corner of Woodward avenue and Alfred street, it was the center of the most fashionable section of the city. There were no stores in the neighborhood, and hotels in the district were unthinkable. 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 family hotel - - though the place was called a mere boarding house in the old days. The lumber and interior trim of the Pridgeon home is undoubtedly the pick of Michigan's famous timber lands, as are the interiors of many of the old Woodward avenue mansions.".

the Peace in Royal Oak when it was a village. He served many years as secretary of the Oakland County Historical Society and is the author of several histories on Oakland County and Pontiac.

1925-10-29 - "STORY OF AN AUTO TRIP TO CALIFORNIA Burbank, California, Oct. 20, 1925 Dear 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 left Argentine, Michigan, Sept. 15, and landed in Burbank Oct. 6, and had one fine trip. The first day out it rained all day and night. Stayed in Benton Harbor first night. Took the Lincoln Highway at South Bend and then west to Omaha, 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 Las Tunas, New Mexico, west to Arizona where we stopped and took a good look at the Petrified Forest and the Painted Desert or bad lands of Arizona. These were sights that I will never forget. I am sending you a piece of a log. Would like to send you the whole tree, but can't. The tree is 10o feet long and 3 feet through. I think maybe you will want to make a story of this, so will send you a folder giving all details, as it will save one a lot of writing. I forgot to tell you we visited the old prehistoric Ruins of New Mexico. It, too, was well worth seeing. I was told the ruined city must be over thirty thousand years old and has been under ground at least twenty thousand 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 in Burbank, California, without any further trouble and found my son, Claude, in fine shape. We have been looking the country over a little and on Sunday went to see Santa Barbara. They sure did have some shake. Next Sunday we shall go down to San Diego, where we can cross over to old Mexico and see the sights in that interesting land. 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 finds you all in the best of health and that you will like the little bit of wood I am sending you. I brought it from Arizona and now will send it to Clio there to be deposited with the rest of your keepsakes. I am also sending you a 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 of his journey and would also say that the story did not require any "fixing up," as it is as good, or better, than anything we could write. We have arranged the cards which Mr. Rose refers to, a very interesting collection, by the way, in our front windows where the public may see them, likewise the piece of wood which Mr. Rose refers to."
1925-11-12 - "A FINE RELIC - The piece of tree from the petrified forest of Arizona which we had been expecting to receive from Wm. Rose, has arrived and is now on display in the front windows of this office. Its delay 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
50 Produced by Ken Wright with Family Historian Descendants of Thomas Pridgeon and Mary Seymour by Generation 26 Jul 2020 clear to California and from there had it sent to us at a cost of more than three dollars for express charges. That's what we call a real tribute of friendship and incidentally an exhibition of sympathy with our weakness for "relics." We want to say, however, that it isi the most beautiful specimen of its kind we have ever seen outside the national museum at Washington. It is a foot long, six inches square, and is of solid vari-colored agate showing the shape of the tree and the grain of the wood perfectly. Our sincere thanks are hereby extended to brother Bill."

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 to get back in what I call God's country. We had a wonderful trip and saw a lot of California but there's no place like dear old Michigan, with all her faults. When we left Burbank we drove over the Pacific Highway to Portland, Oregon, and then over the Columbia Highway to Boise, Idaho. Here we left my son, Max, and came the rest of the way by rail. I am sending P.O. order to renew The Clio Messenger. With kindest regards, William Rose."

From a newspaper obituary January, 1952. "William Leonard Rose, 90, passed away January 5 at the home of his son, William Rose, Gaines, following a lingering illness. Funeral services were held from the Bowles Funeral Home, Linden, Tuesday, with Burial in Glenwood (Glendale), California. Mr. Rose was born in Royal Oak April 1861, son of Mr. and Mrs. Ransom K. Rose. He moved with his parents to Genesee County at the age of five (this may be in error as the actual move to Vienna Twp., was in 1869 when Will would have been 8) and moved to Argentine in 1916. He was married to Jane Holister at Davisburg in 1888. She passed away in 1926. He married Effadell Haptgood in 1929. He was a life member of Linden Lodge No. 132, F&AM. Surviving are the widow, two sons, Claude Rose of Grant's Pass, Oregon, and William Rose, Gaines; two sisters, Mrs. Salia Service (Rosalia Rose, husband Lafayette Servos) of Clio and Mrs. Grace Wright (Grace R. Rose) of Detroit; four grand-children and six great-grand- children. Mr and Mrs. William Rose accompanied the body to California. "
1927-08-04WM. 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, and who, for the past year and a half has lived in Burbank, California. Mr. Rose still owns considerable property on Argentine Lake and is back in Michigan for a limited time for the purpose of disposing of it if possible, as he plans making his home permanently in California. Mr. Rose has been a splendid citizen all of his life, "square as a die" in every attribute of manhood and his many friends will be sorry to learn that he is going to leave Michigan. They will also sympathize with him most deeply in his bereavement through the death of his beloved companion of more than forty years. In coming back to Michigan in May, Mr. Rose passed through the flooded section of Mississippi and for hundreds of miles saw nothing but water covered land, with occasionally a house top above it, and with natives in boats going about and towing the carcasses of dead animals to high ground for burial.

BILL ROSE TELLS OF PANAMA TRIP – CIRCLES FROM CALIFORNIA TO OLD HOME NEAR LAKE ARGENTINE
Everyone in this vicinity knows, (and everyone who knows) loves Bill Rose of Argentine. His family were among the first settlers in this district and he himself, his excellent wife and family, made their home in these parts for years. Latterly he has resided near his sons in Burbank, Calif., but comes back to Michigan annually to look 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 the continent, seeing the sights, and trying to locate the most beautiful place to live in. In this charming quest Bill has had almost as many strange experiences as Trader Horn and it is certainly interesting to hear him recount them. 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,
51 Produced by Ken Wright with Family Historian Descendants of Thomas Pridgeon and Mary Seymour by Generation 26 Jul 2020 across to the ancient city of Havana, then to Key West, Fla. And thence by rail to his old home in Michigan. The story was to us so interesting that we requested Bill to send us something like it for publication in the newspaper. He obligingly consented and we are presenting the story in his own words a la Trader 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:
Thought I wouldn’t wait until I came home to Clio to tell you the story so will mail you the pamphlets describing the countries and cities we visited and also the cocoanut that I spoke to you about. Then you can write your own story 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 at all. 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 describe the beauty of the scenery and the massive character of the great locks which accommodate the largest vessels afloat. It was just like one beautiful long dream to me. After getting through the canal we remained one day in Panama to see the sights, a party of six of us employing a guide and automobile and riding all day. The cocoanut I am sending you was picked at the ruins of the ancient city of Panama, sacked and burned by the famous, or rather infamous, pirate Morgan, early in the 16th century. We left Panama Feb. 30, with a four days’ run to Havana, Cuba, ahead of us, where the same bunch again hired an auto and guide for one day, paying therefore four dollars each, and saw some of the interesting things in Cuba. Havana, it will be remembered, is one of the oldest cities on the American continent and holds within its confines the ashes of Columbus, its discoverer. One of the sights in Havana, which appealed to us particularly, was the monument to the American sailors who lost their 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 and the came on home by way of Jacksonville, Atlanta, Chattanooga, Cincinnati and Detroit. And – I was sure glad to get back to dear old Argentine.
Sincerely yours, William Rose.

She had been in 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 September 6, 1888, was united in marriage to William Rose of Clio, to whom she had been a loving, helpful and dutiful companion for all of the ensuing years. No words of ours can be eloquent enough to pay adequate tribute to the devotion and to the matchless services of the splendid wife and mother who is gone. No words of ours can portray the tenderness in which her memory will be cherished by her neighbors and friends. Suffice it to say that the bereavement which all of these must feel there will creep the constant and deeply comforting influence of the memory of her pure and loyal life.

A front page story in the Clio Messenger, December 8, 1911 - "KICKED IN THE HEAD; SKULL IS FRACTURED. ED. BURLEY MET WITH PAINFUL ACCIDENT - At Elevator Barn Yesterday Noon. Went to Hitch Up Team. 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 painful and 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 more than five minutes before word came that he had been kicked by one of the horses. Attention was directed to the barn by the kicking of the horses and when others appeared on the scene one of the horses had Mr. Burley under its feet. The unfortunate man was taken from his perilous position in a semiconscious condition, and a physician was immediately summoned. On examination it was found that he had received a fracture of the skull, the which, while serious, is not such as to cause alarm, for his recovery is confidently expected in the course of time. As there were no other persons in the stable with Mr. Burley at the time of the accident the cause and details are more or less supposition. It is thought that one of the horses kicked the unfortunate man in the head and that he fell under them. After receiving proper attendance from the physician Mr. Burley was taken 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."
From the Royal Oak Tribune December 15, 1911. "Richard Rose received word from Clio Monday that his brother in law, Edward Barley (Burley) had been kicked in the head by one of his horses and his skull fractured.

that Mr. Burley, who had been seriously ill for a number of weeks, had to be carried from his burning home to the home of a neighbor where he was cared for temporarily. The fire was discovered by Mrs. George Hathley who, at the time, was on her way down town. As nearly as can be judged, the fire originated from a spark which came from a chimney and found lodgement in the roof, burning its way through and setting a second story room on fire. This seems to have been the case, because when the stairway door was opened, immediately after the discovery of the fire, one of the upper rooms was found to be completely in flames. The fire department responded promptly, but the fire had gained such headway that the chemical outfit was wholly inadequate to control it and for some reason water was not immediately available. Several children and neighbors did valiant service in saving the household 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 been making 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 the insurance of $4,500, which we understand was carried, must be considerable. Mr. and Mrs. Burley have taken up their residence in the Crawford home, not far distant from their former one, and we are glad to state that both of them take the disaster with heroic courage and that Mr. Burley'' condition does not appear to have been rendered worse than formerly. We are but voicing the sentiment of the community when we say that everyone sympathizes most deeply with Mr. and Mrs. Burley in their trouble and loss."

January 25, 1918 - "A rather striking instance of the severity of the great storm of Jan. 11-15 is embraced in the thrilling experience of Clyde Rose, of this township, who was at that time on his way from Geneseeville to his home. When the blizzard was at its height he was caught in a sparsley settled district and as his team was unable to get through the huge drifts he was obliged to find shelter in an abandoned house. Here he found an old stove in which he managed to build a fire and stabled his team in a nearby shed, remaining in the house for about twenty-four hours. His face was frozen by exposure until it bled before he reached the house and his toes were frozen. When the storm subsided he was able to get to a place where he secured food for himslef and team and later reached his destination. That a person could have such an experience in this section of Michigan seems more than remarkable."

She hadn't been feeling well that day and after dinner when we went out to the garden she sat in her rocking chair and rested. When we came in from the garden we found she had passed. This was in Gaines, MI on grandpa's farm."

From the History of Michigan by Charles Moore, 1915.
"Lester A. Wright. Though still in his twenties, Mr. Wright has shown the qualities of a progressive and successful man of business, and is one of the ablest merchants of Clio. He is a lumber dealer and manufacturer in that locality, and if past performances are a criterion by which to judge the future, Mr. Wright has a career of splendid accomplishments before him. He was born in Saginaw county in Birch Run Township, December 12, 1877, a son of George W. and Cecelia (sic) (Wheeks) Wright. The ancestors on the paternal side are English, though the paternal grandmother was Scotch. The Wheeks family were likewise of English origin, and among the ealy settlers of Michigan, while the Wrights first settled in New York. George W. Wright was born in New York, and in 1863, when twelve years old, the family settled as pioneers in Birch Run Township of Saginaw county. George W. Wright is still living, and is a very successful man. In politics he is Republican, and has membership in the Methodist church. Cecelia Wheeks was born in Michigan, in Genesee county, and her father was one of the pioneers of this section, a hunter and trapper in the early days, and later a substantial farmer. He is also still living, and of her six children, five are alive, as follows: Myrtie Wright, deceased; Lester A.; Arthur C. Wright, who is a farmer in Birch Run Township; Clara, wife of Irvin Covert, of Clio; and Hattie, wife of George Zeuligg, a farmer of Birch Run township. Lester A. Wright grew up on a farm, had a country school education and finished with the Lamar village schools. At the age of eighteen he left school and took up th active work of a career and continued at farming until he was twenty-two. Learning the carpenter's trade, he followed that vocation as a journeyman, and gradually got into contracting, which was his exclusive work up to 1909. He then established the L.A. Wright Lumber Company at Clio, his associate in the enterprise being Ernest May. This firm also conducts another lumber yard at Mount Morris and outside the city of Flint they do the largest lumber business in Genesee county. Mr. Wright has membership in the Michigan Retail Lumber Dealers' Association. He is still actively identified with building and contracting business, and his record in that line included a large number of important structures in Genesee county. In the spring of 1912 Mr. Wright entered the manufacturing field when he took the general management of the Clio Manufacturing Company, a new industry, the output of which is tables. The factory employes about eighteen workmen and the business is getting well established an promises to be a very important local institution in the village of Clio. Mr. Wright is a Republican, but little part in politics except as a worker for good government and the best interests of his home community. He has served as councilman for several terms and is now president of the Clio Board of Trade. His church is the Methodist. On October 12, 1899, he was married in Vienna, Genesee county, to Miss Grace R. Rose who was born in Michigan, a daughter of Ransom K. Rose, one of the early settlers in Genesee county. They have two children, Gladys, born November 1, 1900, at Birch Run; and Harold R. Wright, born November 14, 1909, at Saginaw."

Two booklets giving historical accounts, Railroad Nostalgia and Down Memory Lane, report "On the east side of the tracks, and at the north end of Railway Street, L.A. Wright manufactured sash and doors, and in partnership with Ernest May, established the May Lumber Company. The company built about 30 homes and the Thetford Church. A disastrous fire destroyed the business in 1914". Newspaper accounts also show Lester in the Hard Coal business as well as the founder of the Clio Condensary. In 1913, at a cost of $40,000 a factory was erected adjacent to the railroad, west of the tracks and on the south side of Johnson Street. The promoters planned to buy milk from farmers and process it into powdered milk. It soon became evident that more water was needed than their well could produce. More bad luck followed because of two disabling fires. After the construction of an expensive pipe line and pumping station for obtaining water from the Pine Run Creek, the company was sold to the Detroit Creamery Co. in 1915.

June 10, 1964 - "Annual Farm Tour Set This Year - EAST LANSING - Effective farm management to meet two types of emergencies will be seen this summer as part of the annual state farm management tour. The tour was started in 1949 by the Michigan Cooperative Extension Service. That year it was a two day trip that showed farmers the activities of their counterparts in Lenawee, Hillsdale and Branch Counties. This year, on Aug. 5, the tour group will return to Branch County to visit two farms during the day. One emergency, the shifting demand from farm products - made a major change on the Pridgeon Farm in the southeastern corner of the county. In 1949 when the tour visited the same farm it was operated in dairy by Glen Pridgeon. Now his son, Dean, operates it as an entirely pork production farm.

In March 1926 he married Peggy Pridgeon, a former schoolmate of Sherman Township. They lived in Flint until July 1930, when they moved to Sherman City and George opened up a small repair garage. Within a few months his business had grown to the point where it was necessary for him to have larger quarters and he moved into the Hampton Garage which he still occupies. In addition to his service garage he now has the Gamble Store agency and the Chevrolet Dealership, and with the help of his team-mate, Peggy, he is making great strides towards the success which he deserves'. George is a public spirited citizen and is always willing to do his bit in promoting any move for the betterment of our community. Lefs give a hearty cheer to George and his helpful wife, Peggy.".

From the Clio Messenger.
1924-07-10 - "Mr. and Mrs. Melville Dick and daughter, Joan, of Detroit, spent several days the past week with friends in Clio."
From the 1920 Wayne County census it was learned that Mary Dick (David's mother) lived at 166 Cortland Avenue in Highland Park. Lester, Grace, Gladys and Harold Wright moved from Clio to Highland Park in 1916. Their address was 200 Cortland and they apparently lived there only one year. We had always heard that David Melville Dick left home at a very early age which accounts for his absence in the 1920 Mary Dick household. However, in 1916 David would only have been 14 years old and quite likely was still living at home. Assuming that Mary Dick and 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 on Cortland Avenue in 1916 when David was 14 and Gladys was 16 and, of course, we know that they were married in September 1919.
From a September 16, 1969 newspaper article. "50th Anniversary Celebrated By Wolverine Couple. Mr. and Mrs. David Dick, 1865 Ladd Rd., Wolverine Village, were feted at a surprise party given by their children in celebration 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 since 1941. Since their children have grown and moved away from home the Dick's miniature poodle "Tammy" helps fill the gap of loneliness. She has been a member of the Dick family for over six years. When asked, "who is boss 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 by saying, "Both husband and wife need that intangible something inside them make them stick to it. Too many young people today go into marriage with the thought that if it doesn't work we'll get a divorce. Divorces are too easy," Dick, now retired, was in the building business for most of their wedded life and they have moved from one house to another right on their street as he completed homes. Still extremely skilled with tools of the trade many items around their present home are expressive of his handiwork, including an attractive windmill sitting in their waterfront lot. The anniversary party was held at the home of their daughter, Mrs Harold Gustner, in Southfield. Over 50 guests enjoyed a buffet and 4-hour open house. Life long friends Mr. and Mrs. Monroe Stroecker attended from Port Charlotte, Florida. Other children of the Dick's who joined giving the party include their daughters, Mr. Robert Wallace, Union Lake, Mrs. Ray Greening, Wolverine Lake, and a son, Glen Dick, Union Lake. The Dicks also have 16 grandchildren.".

When Margaret was five years old, she remembers being outside with her friend Rita Dwyer listening to all the horns 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 brought to mind the wedding announcement of Mom and Dad that said they were going to live at 463 Algonquin after their marriage, so I just called Mom to ask about it. She said they never did live with Lester and Grace. They rented an upstairs apartment first, on a street that she can't remember. Then they rented a house on Eastlawn, then rented at 5039 Lakepointe, where they were when I was born (1938), then moved to another rented house on Lakewood. Then Dad built the house on 60 Hawthorn Blvd in 1941. She could not remember any of the street numbers, but I have a letter addressed to them at the 5039 Lakepointe address. I had no idea that they lived in so many places before Hawthorne, or that they were renting rather than buying. I had just assumed that they lived in a house built by Dad and Lester. Wrong! Another thing she mentioned that I didn't remember is that Lester and Grace moved to Grosse Pointe after Mom and Dad. She thought about a year, making their move from Algonquin to Hawthorn in 1942." We later learned the actual sequence and addresses of where Harold and Margaret Lived.

From the January 13, 1938 Flushing Observer. "Eileen Martina Ganssley was born on the Seymore Road about four miles south of Flushing. She attended the Flushing high school as a freshman last year. She enjoyed our glee club that year but was unable to take it this year. She has been, however, in orchestra both years. Last year in the carnival, Martina took part in two of the short skits that were given. As a hobby she keeps scrapbooks. She has one on the Detroit Tigers, one on the Dionne Quints, another filled with favorite short stories cut from magazines or papers, and last but not least, one on a trip she took last year. This sophomore has a camera and likes to take pictures, especially when you don't know about it. Another scrapbook or album holds these pictures. Martina plays the piano too. Her favorite songs are "Rosalie" and "There's a Gold Mine in the Sky." She likes to read and does a lot of it. She has a small library of her own and wants to train at the University of Michigan to become a librarian. She likes to travel and has crossed the straits of Mackinac and saw Sault Ste. Marie and the Locks that link Lake Superior with St. Mary's River. She would like to see Yellowstone National Park. Martina said she thought her biggest thrill happened when she saw the Tigers win over the Yankees. It was the Tigers third game and they had lost the other two. -- Verna May Demeritt".

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

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 MSU students 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, who graduated 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 alumnus Michael 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 basketball games and stuff like that.
Pridgeon graduated with an accounting degree and was hired by the Deloitt Touche accounting firm in Grand Rapids. 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 his decision 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 was younger.
"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 California in the Rose Bowl. Mark, then 12, heard Magic Johnson give a speech at the Grand Plaza Hotel, where the Pridgeons 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," he said.
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 a big 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 at Hope College this fall.
"My sisters, I guess, wanted something more like they were used to," said Pridgeon, referring to the small high 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 to MSU.
"There was no pressure. Luckily, my sister broke the mold for me," he said. "I always knew I wanted to go to MSU, but I still looked around. My parents kind of humored me by taking me to visit other schools, but I knew 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,".
