LARGELY BIOGRAPHICAL
We have undertaken to discourse for a little upon Men, their manner of appearance in our World's business, how they have shaped themselves in the World's history, what ideas other men have formed of them, what work they did .- CARLYLE.
CHICAGO: A. W. BOWEN & CO. 1903
The wheels now roll in fire and thunder, To bear us on with startling speed ; They shake the dust of Nations under The flowers of forest, mount and mead. The old-time worthies still are near ; The spirit of the Past is here : And, where we tread, the old mound builders Looked forward through the mist of Time As we look back. The scene bewilders, And all the distance is sublime.
COMPENDIUM OF BIOGRAPHY
OF
HILLSDALE CO., MICHIGAN.
HON. EBENEZER OLIVER GROSVENOR.
This prominent,. successful and venerated merchant and banker of Jonesville, who is one of the best known and most highly esteemed men in Hillsdale county, whose life is one of the most useful and conspicuous among her thou- sands of population, was born at Stillwater, Sar- atoga county, New York, on January 26, 1820. He was the third in order of birth of the nine children who constituted his father's family, three of whom are yet living, being the son of Ebenezer O. and Mary Ann (Livermore) Gros- venor, natives of Massachusetts and prominent among the honored pioneers of southern Michi- gan. The father had been a successful and pop- ular teacher in his New York homes, deeply and intelligently interested in the cause of public edu- cation. He was also forward in the advocacy of every good cause and gave freely of his time and substance to aid in the promotion of all that promised well for the county and state. He died on April 6, 1871, having accomplished more than eighty-seven years of age. His wife, a lady of high culture and great refinement, was a broad- minded and progressive woman, whose death oc-
curred at Albion, Michigan, in 1849. The pater- nal grandfather of Hon. E. O. Grosvenor, Rev. Daniel Grosvenor, was a captain in the Revolu- tionary War.
Hon. Ebenezer O. Grosvenor was reared and thoroughly educated in his native state, finishing at the noted Chittenango (N. Y.) Polytechnic Academy, which he entered at the age of thirteen years, and where, during a two-years' course of earnest study, he gained a high rank for brilliant scholarship. Having decided to devote himself to a business career, at the age of sixteen he left school and for a year was employed in a clerical capacity in a store at Chittenango. In June, 1837, when but seventeen years old, he left the parental roof-tree and trod boldly with adventur- ous foot into the wilds of Michigan, then but recently admitted into the Union as a state, and, upon his arrival here, entered the employ of an older brother in what was one of the earliest es- tablished stores of Albion. In 1839 he went to Monroe and served for a year as assistant book- keeper in the office of the State Railroad Com- missioner, during the construction of the Michi- gan Southern Railway, then in the hands of the state.
IIO
ITILLSDALE COUNTY, MICHIGAN.
In the summer of 1840 Mr. Grosvenor be- came a citizen of Jonesville, coming hither to take a position as clerk in a drygoods store, where he was employed until April, 1844. He then, with R. S. Varnum as a partner, established him- self in a mercantile business and this firm con- ducted a flourishing enterprise until 1847 when Mr. Varnum sold his interests to Elisha P. Champlin, the father-in-law of Mr. Grosvenor, who, in 1851, bought the interest of Mr. Champ- lin, and thereafter carried it on alone until 1864, when he admitted some young men who had been in his employ for a number of years to a share in its management and profits. Under the new order of things the business grew and flourished, and, in 1875, another change was made, which still farther enlarged its volume and usefulness, the firm becoming Sibbald, Spalding & Co., with Mr. Grosvenor as a silent partner.
For many years outside interests have taken much of Mr. Grosvenor's time. One venture, in which he was busily engaged for some time, was buying and selling the general produce of this part of the state, and in this line it was his invariable rule to always pay cash for his com- modities. In 1854, under the title of the Ex- change Bank of Grosvenor & Co., at Jonesville he established the bank of which he has ever been the ruling spirit and chief owner .. This in- stitution was successful and prosperous from its inception, and has poured widening streams of benefaction out among the people of this com- munity. Other enterprises of value to the com- munity in which he has been interested are the Ft. Wayne, Jackson & Saginaw Railroad, of which he is a stockholder, and, during an im- portant period of its history, the vice-president ; the Michigan Mutual Life Insurance Co., of De- troit, of which he was one of the organizers; the Detroit Fire & Marine Insurance Co., of which he was an early stockholder and director ; the Michigan State Fire Insurance Co., of Adri- an ; the Jonesville Cotton Manufacturing Co., of which he was the first treasurer and for some time the very efficient president. His vitalizing force, his wise counsel, his far-seeing and sagac- ious wisdom, financial ability and superior admin-
istrative and executive powers have been potent factors militating for success in many other or- ganizations for the promotion of the county and the state's welfare and progress. He has contrib- uted much to the cause of education, having been president of the school board at Jonesville for over thirty-five years and is still in office.
