urer. Here, as in his former position, he exhibited qualities of the highest order and in 1904 he was elected, to succeed himself in this office, being the present incumbent. He possesses marked business ability and has discharged the duties of his position in a thoroughly efficient and praiseworthy man- ner. In April, 1905, he was still further honored by election to the mayoralty of the city of Omer. The financial condition of Arenac county is in the best possible shape, the only outstanding indebtedness being that incurred by current expenses, while the rate of taxation is very reasonable.

In politics Mr. Baikie is a stanch Repub- lican and takes a deep interest not only in the success of his party, but also in the high- est welfare of the entire community, giving his earnest support to all movements having for their object the welfare of the people in either material, moral, social or educa- tional lines. His fraternal relations are with the Free and Accepted Masons and the In- dependent Order of Odd Fellows.

CHARLES BLANCHARD.

The history of him whose name heads this sketch has been closely identified with the progress and advancement which has characterized Roscommon county, Michi- gan, and has earned his present high stand- ing among its representative citizens. Mr. Blanchard is a native of this state, having been born in Brooklyn township. Jackson county, and is the son of Enos Blanchard, an early settler of that county, who devel- oped and for many years successfully oper- ated a splendid farm' there, being honored and respected by all who knew him. The

subject was reared on the paternal farm- stead and received a good common-school education. When about twenty years old he came to Roscommon and established a store here, and has been a resident here con- tinuously since that time. He was also to a large extent engaged in railroad construc- tion work under contract. He subsequently formed a partnership with John Coleman, of Roscommon, and T. E. Douglas, of Gray- ling, under the firm name of Blanchard. Coleman & Company, for the manufacture of lumber and staves, their mill, which is located at St. Helens, having a capacity of thirty thousand per day, and necessitating the employment of from seventy-five to one hundred men. The firm owns seven thou- sand acres of timber land tributary to their mill, which will amply supply them with ma- terial for years to come. Mr. Blanchard has also, on his own account, dealt largely in real estate and in timber, achieving a dis- tinctive success in every enterprise in which he has embarked. He also has a contract with Handy Brothers, of Bay City, this state, to furnish them monthly twenty-five hundred dollars' worth of jack pine and sunken logs reclaimed from the rivers. He is interested with C. A. Campbell, of Bay City, and H. J. Dewale, of Roscommon, as owners of a two hundred and forty-acre gravel pit located about three miles north of Roscommon, the sand vein being from ten to twenty feet thick and pronounced by experts as fine in quality as any in the state of Michigan. The Michigan Central Rail- road buys an immense amount of gravel from this pit and are running a spur or side- track into it to facilitate its loading and shipment. Mr. Blanchard also owns indi- vidually some fine land in this county, which is rapidly enhancing in value as the sur- rounding country is developed. In Cheboy-

gan county, on the Hawkwood branch of the Michigan Central Railroad, he has re- cently put in a logging outfit with a capacity of six million feet of logs and has this year contracts for the full capacity, giving em- ployment to about one hundred men.

Aside from his many business interests, Mr. Blanchard has found time to give a proper attention to local public affairs. He is a stanch Republican in politics and is a familiar figure in state and county conven- tions, standing high in the councils of his party. He has been honored in this county by election to several responsible offices, hav- ing served four years as sheriff, four years as treasurer and one term as register of deeds, thus having given ten years to county offices, in all of which he acquitted himself in a manner not only creditable to himself. but to the entire satisfaction of his constit- uents. In his fraternal relations he is a Mason, having taken the degrees up to and including that of Knight Templar, belong- ing to Bay City Commandery, and taking an enjoyable interest in the work of this time-honored society.

Mr. Blanchard married Miss Elizabeth Murphy. of Sincoe, Canada, and to them have been born six children, namely : Verna, the wife of Michael Gibbon, of Roscommon ; Charles, Jr., of Roscommon : Kate, Lenore. Edwina and Lewis Arthur. Mr. Blanchard takes an interest in all matters pertaining to the welfare of the community and has de- served the present high standing which he enjoys in the regard of those who know him.

His patients are scattered over a wide expanse of country, including Emmet, Charlevoix and Cheboygan counties, and he is kept bus- ily engaged almost day and night. Possess- ing a genial manner and sympathetic spirit, he is a welcome visitor in any sick room, even aside from his professional capacity, and has won the friendship of all who know him.

The Doctor is a stanch Republican in politics, having been active even while re- siding in Macomb county, going as a dele- gate to state conventions and having partici- pated in the nomination of Bliss for gov- ernor. For several years he has been the member of the county committee from his own township and stands high in the coun- cils of his party. He is a member of the local school board and has been president of the village of Wolverine ever since its incorpo-

SILAS M. McTIVER.

One of the most prominent men engaged in the timber and lumber business in north- eastern Michigan is he whose name heads this sketch. He is a native of Cheboygan county, where he was born in 1865, and is the son of Lewis and Elsie (Sammons) McTiver. The subject's maternal grand- father, Jacob Sammons, came to Cheboygan county in the early '30s, making his way in a sailboat from Pennsylvania, and was

the first white man to locate in that county. He erected a steam saw mill where the W. & A. McArthur dock now stands in Cheboy- gan, the first mill in the country north of Saginaw. He owned all the land now cov- ered by Cheboygan and at the time of his death had quite a town started. The sub- ject's mother was the first white child born in Cheboygan county. The subject received a fair practical education in the public schools and upon attaining mature years started out on his own account in the lum- ber business, with which he has been identi- fied practically all his life. Going to Min- nesota he became foreman there for a lum- ber firm, with whom he remained for twelve years, and was then foreman for Thompson Smith & Sons, at Duncan City. Coming then to Onaway he went into the lumber business on his own account and has steadily ad- vanced until he occupies a position in the front rank of the lumber men in this section of the state. He is a member of the firm of McTiver & Clark, who own thirty thou- sand acres of hardwood timber, besides which he personally owns five thousand acres. The firm owns four portable saw-mills, two in Cheboygan county and two in Presque I'sle county, having a capacity of sixty thousand feet of lumber per day, and necessitating the employment of two hundred men the year round. Mr. McTiver has been very suc- cessful in all his operations and is now ac- counted one of the wealthiest citizens of On- away. He has ever taken a deep and com- mendable interest in the welfare of the city and has done much to advance its best in- terests. A stanch Republican in politics, he has served for eight years efficiently as the supervisor of Waverley township and in other ways has shown that he realizes that every citizen owes a certain interest and

participation in the affairs of the body politic. His fraternal relations are with the Free and Accepted Masons.

Mr. McTiver married, in Cheboygan, Miss Ellis Stuart, the daughter of Isaac Stuart, one of the pioneer lumber men of Cheboygan. They have one of the best ar- ranged and commodious residences in Ona- way and it is the center of a large social circle.

MALCOLM McNEIL.

Starting in life at an early age, practi- cally alone and with no extraneous aid dur- ing his subsequent career, the subject of this sketch has risen step by step until today he is rightfully considered one of the leading and representative citizens of Forest town- ship, Cheboygan county, Michigan. Mr. McNeil is a native of Ontario, Canada, and at an early age came to the United States. His opportunities for securing an education were none the best, but he has ever taken advantage of every opportunity for acquir- ing information, so that today he is con- sidered a man of wide and accurate knowl- edge. He started at the early age of six- teen years to make his own way in the world and after passing through various expe- riences and vicissitudes, he at length arrived in Tower City. Cheboygan county, in 1895, and has since made this the scene of his efforts. He at first engaged in lumbering. getting out timber on contract, and also en- gaged in buying and selling timber land, which he found a profitable enterprise and in which he is still engaged, being now the owner of several valuable tracts of timber land. In 1904 he established a livery stable in Tower, which is now one of the leading

Hle then matriculated in the den- tal department of the Michigan State Uni- versity at Ann Arbor, where he was gradu- ated in 1900, and the same year came to Onaway and established an office here. The village then was in its embryonic stage, but the Doctor had firm faith in its future growth and prosperity, and has seen his judgment fully justified. He has a fully- equipped office and has demonstrated his ability to handle in a satisfactory manner any case coming under his care, so that he has been the recipient of his full share of the public patronage. is well supplied with up-to-date vehicles of every description and well-kept animals and Mr. McNeil puts forth every effort to meet the wants of the public in this line, his ef- forts being duly appreciated. He is also the owner of a blacksmith shop and several other buildings in this city and has the finest and most complete residence here. From the commencement of his career Mr. Mc- Neil's record has been characterized by hon- esty of motive and persistency of endeavor, the result being a satisfactory degree of suc- cess in all enterprises in which he has en- gaged, so that he is today considered one of the leading citizens of the city in which he resides. He is now extensively engaged in the erection of bridges and the construc- tion of public roads in Forest township. Mr. McNeil is.now efficiently serving as super- visor of Forest township, having been elected on the people's ticket, and gives his aid and support to every movement looking to the advancement of the best interests of his com- munity. A man of courteous manners, gen- ial disposition and genuine worth, he has won and retains the sincere esteem of all who know him.

P. J. LUDINGTON.

Among the pioneer professional men who have contributed in a large measure to the reputation enjoyed by the thriving little city of Onaway, Michigan, as an up-to-date and progressive community, the subject of this sketch is deserving of special mention. Dr. Ludington is a native of Harbor Beach,

At Harbor Beach, Huron county, this state, Dr. Ludington married Miss Olive Bunting, the daughter of Walter Bunting, of that place. Fraternally he is affiliated with the Free and Accepted Masons and the Knights of Pythias, having been chancellor commander of his lodge in the last-named order during the past two years.

JAMES GRIMORE.

One of the leading and highly esteemed lumbermen and agriculturists of Arenac county, Michigan, is the gentleman whose name appears above. Mr. Grimore is a na- tive of Ontario, Canada, where he was reared and received his education in the public schools. In 1869 he came to Arenac county and has since that time been actively iden- tified with the varied interests of this local- ity. He first engaged in the lumber busi- ness and has continued at it to the present time. His usual policy has been to buy the standing timber with the land, cut the logs and sell them, and then sell the land for farming purposes. In this way he has suc- ceeded in clearing many thousands of acres. About seventeen years ago he embarked in' the mercantile business here and is still so engaged, having a well-stocked store and be- ing favored with a large share of the public patronage. He is also the owner of a fine farm of four hundred and fifty acres, which is in a highly improved condition, containing a large and commodious residence and sub- stantial barns and other necessary farm buildings. In all his operations he has ex- ercised a sound judgment and a wise dis- crimination which has safeguarded against failure and he has deservedly won a position among the most progressive and substantial men of his community.

In Canada. Mr. Grimore married Miss Catherine Margaret Hill and to them were born two children. George H., a lumber- man and farmer of Augres, and Emily, who is the wife of Dr. W. A. Cowie, of South Branch, this state. Mrs. Catherine Grimore died in 1888 and the subject subsequently was united in marriage to Miss Alvina C. Twining, of Augres, though a native of Maine. To this union have been born four

children, Gale D., Pearl, Inez and James Harrison. Mr. Grimore is a stanch adherent of the Democratic party and takes a deep interest in the success of his ticket, though not himself a seeker after public office. He possesses those qualities of head and heart which commend their possessor to the re- gard of his neighbors and he and his family stand high in the esteem of all who know them.

J. ARCHER GOODRICH.

Among the enterprising business men of northern Michigan, who, while advancing their own interests, have at the same time accomplished much for the development and improvement of the community in which they reside, mention should be made of J. Archer Goodrich, of West Branch, Ogemaw county. Though not numbered among the "old-timers" here, Mr. Goodrich is readily accorded a position among the representa- tive citizens of the locality and takes a lead- ing part in all local movements affecting the material, moral, social or educational wel- fare of the town or county. His transac- tions have been characterized by a far- sighted sagacity and sound judgment and a liberal policy which has found its results in the hundreds of farms which have been settled on and improved here through his agency. Mr. Goodrich expends on an aver- age about three thousand dollars every year in advertising, not only issuing brochures showing forth the advantages and possibili- ties of this section, but also patronizing nearly all the leading farm journals in the country. Coming here in 1903, he has prob- ably sold more land here and in adjoining counties than any other real-estate dealer here, besides which he manages several large

852

BIOGRAPHICAL HISTORY OF

estates here for non-residents. His recent brochure setting forth the resources of Oge- maw and surrounding counties is a complete and accurate review of the many natural ad- vantages that are fast developing this local- ity and he has given it a wide circulation. Among the many points referred to the fol- lowing will give a fair idea of the general trend of the arguments offered as induce- ments for settlers to locate here: The great opportunities of northern Michigan, surpris- ing results obtained here by farmers, fine conditions for beef and sheep raising, splen- did quality of fruit, first-class roads, large rainfall, the soil a fine productive clay loam, plenty of rivers and brooks, healthful condi- tion of the county, absence of cyclones and windstorms, fine educational facilities, plen- tiful fish and game, best water in the world, splendid financial standing of the county, and statistics showing the superiority of north- ern Michigan land over that in many of the older settled portions of this and other states. A thorough understanding of local conditions and the needs of prospective buy- ers has made Mr. Goodrich phenomenally successful in disposing of farm lands and in indúcing settlers to locate here, so that it has been very truthfully said that no other one man has done as much as he to develop the farming interests of this county. A man possessing many fine personal qualities, he has made many warm personal friends since locating here and stands high among all who know of him and of what he has ac- complished.

CASSIUS M. PHELPS.

The great lumbering industry through which the initial advancement and progress of the northern half of the lower peninsula

of Michigan were principally effected, early called forth the practical co-operation of Mr. Phelps, who began as a worker in the lum- ber woods while still a boy and who is to- day a leading stockholder in companies con- ducting large and important enterprises along the same line, while he is known as one of the representative business men of this section of the state, while he is also an able member of the bar of Kalkaska county, though devoting the major portion of his time and attention to his business interests, which are of wide scope and importance.

The beautiful little city of Coldwater, Branch county, Michigan, figures as the place of Mr. Phelps' nativity, since he was there born on the 15th of November, 1860; being a son of Samuel B. and Maria F. (Leversee) Phelps, both of whom were born and reared in the state of New York, whence they came to Michigan about a half century ago. They removed from Branch county to South Haven, from which place they came to Kalkaska county in 1882, settling in Cold Springs township, where the father re- claimed and developed a good farm, upon which he and his wife have ever since con- tinued to reside. He is one of the honored pioneers of the county and has long been an influential factor in public affairs of a local nature.

The subject of this review remained at the paternal home until he had attained the age of sixteen years, and in the meanwhile gained his preliminary educational discipline in the public schools. At the age noted his father gave him his time, that is, permitting him to personally control and utilize his own earnings, and for three years thereafter he found employment in the lumber camps of the great pineries of Newaygo county, gain- ing by this means the funds which enabled

853

NORTHERN MICHIGAN.

him to continue his educational work, his ambition in the line having been of the most insistent order, so that he bent every energy to the accomplishment of the desired ends. He worked in the woods during both the winter and summer seasons, and with the fruits of his arduous labors defrayed the expenses of a course of study in the Brown Normal School, in the city of Valparaiso, Indiana, being graduated in this well-known institution as a member of the class of 1882. He then secured a position as bookkeeper in the grocery establishment of D. E. Mc- Mahon, of Kalkaska, and in the meanwhile began reading law under the direction of his brother-in-law, William D. Totten, one of the leading members of the bar of this county. He prosecuted his technical studies with much energy and appreciation and proved himself eligible for admission to the bar, to which he was admitted in 1890. In the autumn of the same year he was elected prosecuting attorney of the county. serving two terms and proving a most able and dis- criminating public prosecutor. He still de- votes somewhat of his time to the practice of his profession, in which he has gained marked prestige, but his extensive industrial interests demand much of his attention in an executive and administrative capacity. He has been for the past several years actively identified with the lumbering and lumber manufacturing interests of this section of the state. He is a stockholder and director of the Wolverine Lumber & Box Company. whose executive headquarters are in the city of Detroit. and in connection with the lum- bering interests with which he is concerned in Kalkaska county employment is afforded to an average of one hundred men, while the annual product reaches the notable aver- age aggregate of nine million feet. The an-

nual business aggregates about seventy-five thousand dollars. The operations in this county are carried forward under the title of the Blue Lake Lumber Company, and two Mancelona men are associated with our sub- ject in the enterprise, while his associate in the Wolverine Lumber & Box Company is William H. Bockes, one of the pioneer lum- bermen of the state.

In his political allegiance Mr. Phelps is arrayed as an uncompromising advocate of the principles and policies of the Republican party, and while he manifests a lively inter- ,est in the cause and in general public affairs of a local nature, he has no ambition for official preferment. In a fraternal way he is affiliated with the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks, the Masonic order, the Inde- pendent Order of Odd Fellows, the Knights of Pythias and other benevolent and social organizations.

On the 17th of September, 1885, was solemnized the marriage of Mr. Phelps to Miss Ida C. Snavely, who was born in Michi- gan, where she was reared to the age of fourteen years, when she came with her par- ents to Kalkaska county. She is a daughter of William and Sarah Snavely, who still re- side in this county, her father being a promi- nent and influential farmer of Kalkaska township. Mr. and Mrs. Phelps have two children. Lola B. and Clara Marie.

DAVID E. WINER, M. D.

Among the successful and popular physi- cians of Otsego county, Michigan, mention should be made of Dr. David E. Winer, who. though a comparatively recent acquisition to the professional circles of this county. has

854

BIOGRAPHICAL HISTORY OF

already acquired an enviable reputation as a man of ability and integrity, and possess- ing those qualities which must insure success along any line. Dr. Winer is a native of Guelph, province of Ontario, Canada, where he was reared and educated in the common schools, this training being supplemented by attendance at the high school there. In 1894 he came to the United States, locating in Michigan, and, eventually deciding to make the practice of medicine his life work, he matriculated in the Saginaw Valley Medi- cal School, where he was graduated in 1903. Immediately after receiving his diploma Dr. Winer came to Vanderbilt and has already firmly established himself in the confidence and graces of the people of this progressive little city. His practice extends beyond the confines of his home county and he is now in the enjoyment of a large and remuner- ative practice. He is the health officer of Vanderbilt as well as the township and is a member of the village board of aldermen, giving effective service in each capacity. A stanch Republican, he takes a deep interest in public affairs, though not a seeker after office. He keeps abreast the latest advances in the healing art through extensive reading and also by means of his membership in the county, state and national medical associa- tions. His fraternal relations are with the Free and Accepted Masons and the Inde- pendent Order of Odd Fellows.

Dr. Winer married Miss Maggie Cor- nell, the daughter of Dr. Aaron Cornell, of Elkton, this state, who was for fifteen years engaged in the successful practice of medi- cine there, but is now retired. A Repub- lican in politics and possessed of consider- able means, Dr. Cornell has long exerted a powerful influence in the city of his resi- dence. The subject of this sketch, while

conservative in his general disposition, has, because of his courteous manners and genu -. ine worth, won for himself the sincere friendship of all with whom he has come in contact and is considered a valued member of the community.

A. F. AND A. CAMERON.

This well-known and progressive firm of general merchants in Central Lake, An- trim county, is the direct successor to the mercantile establishment and business es- tablished a number of years ago by the Cameron Lumber Company, the present firm having assumed control of the enter- prise on the Ist of April, 1900. Their large and finely appointed establishment shows a comprehensive and select stock of dry goods, clothing, cloaks and suits, mil- linery, boots and shoes, hats and caps, crockery and queensware, and various other specialties. The enterprise represents an in- vestment of from ten to eighteen thousand dollars, while the annual business averages from sixty to seventy thousand dollars, a considerable jobbing business being done in several lines, while the firm also handle farm produce, such as butter and eggs. The build- ing occupied is a two-story brick structure, one hundred and ten by thirty-two feet in dimensions, and is owned by Thomas Plath- ner, of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The upper floor constitutes the local theater, which is well equipped and which is managed by the Cameron Brothers, subjects of this sketch.

Archibald F. and Alexander Cameron are both native of the province of Ontario, Canada, and, as both their Christian and

surnames indicate, their ancestry is of Scottish origin. They were born near the city of Toronto and are sons of Alexander Cameron, who was a brother of Archibald, James and John Cameron, the originators and organizers of the Cameron Lumber Company. The father of the subjects re- moved to Utica, New York, when they were children, and there he continued to be en- gaged in mercantile pursuits until his death.

The two subjects of this review were reared and educated in New York state, and their initial business experience was gained in the store of their father, and later both were employed as traveling commercial salesmen, while for five years Alexander was thus employed by the well known firm of Hannah, Lay & Company, of Traverse City, with whom Archibald F. was retained in similar employ for a period of eight years. With the enterprise conducted by this old and well-known concern Alexan- der Cameron became identified in 1878, so that he is to be considered one of the pio- neers of northern Michigan, while his brother Archibald F. came to this section in 1883. remaining in the employ of the com- pany, as house and road salesman, for a term of seventeen years, while during the last decade he was manager of the wholesale and retail grocery department of the business. Alexander remained with Hannah, Lay & Company for nine years, after which he was on the road as a salesman for five years, then coming to Torch Lake, Antrim county, where he became manager of the

general store of the Cameron Lumber Com- pany, retaining this incumbency until join- ing his brother at Central Lake, where they have met with gratifying success. Alex- ander is at the time of this writing a mem- ber of the village council, and both he and his brother are stanch supporters of the prin- ciples and policies of the Republican party. Alexander is a Knights Templar Mason and also identified with the Ancient Arabic Order of the Nobles of the Mystic Shrine, and with the Order of the Eastern Star; while Archi- bald F. is affiliated with the lodge, chapter and council of the Masonic fraternity, as well as with its adjunct, the Order of the East- ern Star; and with the Knights of Pythias and the Knights of the Maccabees.

At Plymouth, Michigan, on the 22d of April, 1884, was solemnized the marriage of Archibald F. Cameron to Miss Imogene S. Duntley, and of this union have been born four children, namely : Imogene, Margaret, Donald Archibald and William Duntley. Mr. and Mrs. Cameron are communicants of the Protestant Episcopal church, but as there is no parish organization of the same in Central Lake they attend and support the Congregational church.

On the IIth of January, 1892, Alex- ander Cameron was united in marriage, at Kalamazoo, this state, to Miss Nellie Mae Bylardt, and they have two children, Alex- ander and Archibald. Mrs. Cameron is an active and valued worker in the Methodist Episcopal church, and also in the local chap- ter of the Order of the Eastern Star.
