much to the relief of his mother and sister. He afterwards added to his first purchase, until he owned two hundred and sixty acres, which he cleared up, improved, and built good buildings upon. In 1873 his house burned, with nearly all of its contents. The following year he built a new and better house. In the spring of 1878 he purchased the south sixty acres of the north-west one- quarter of section twenty-eight, in Fairfield, where he now resides, his foster son, William W. Wyman, residing on the old home farm. He was the first man to own sheep in the town of Fairfield, and his wife spun, wove, and made into cloth the first wool manufactured in the township. His flock of sheep was twice destroyed by wolves, with the exception of one old ewe, the pioneer sheep of the county, which both times escaped, and afterwards raised him five lambs in thirteen months. She was afterwards taken to Bean Creek, in Seneca township, where she was again a pioneer, and flourished and replenished her kind and escaped the hungry wolves, living to a happy old age. One day in December, a few years after he came, some of the settlers had brought their hogs to his place, for the purpose of butchering, and making one job of it, which was the custom in those days. A little before noon a man came along with a gun, saying that he had wounded a deer over in Ohio, and had followed him to that vicinity, and learning that Mr. Weatherby had a famous dog, after dinner, sug- gested that all hands turn out with the dog and catch the deer. Everybody was ready for the sport, and away they went. There was a good "tracking snow " at the time, the deer's tracks being easily followed, and before they had got beyond Mr. Weatherby's farm, the deer-a large buck-was captured. He had secreted himself in tree top, and it so happened that Mr. Weatherby, Benjamin Baker, now of Clinton county, this State, and John Reynolds, now a near neighbor, and the dog came upon him and started him out, when Mr. Weatherby told his dog to catch him. The dog at once obeyed, and grabbed him by the left ear. This so enraged the deer that in the struggle he threw the dog, who still "kept his hold," over his neck, and in this way the deer came down a little ravine in the direction of Mr. Weatherby, who jumped behind a small elm tree, which the deer, in his efforts to rid himself of the dog, ran against. At that instant Mr. Weatherby seized him by his large horns and brought them with all his strength against the opposite side of the tree, holding him there until Benjamin Baker cut his throat. The dog kept his hold until he was strangled by the blood that spurted into his mouth. This was considered the best dog in the entire settlement. December 31st, 1835, Mr. Weatherby married Sarah C. Carpenter,

daughter of Elder James and Catharine Carpenter, of Fairfield. They have never had any children. Mrs. Sarah C. Weatherby was born in Shelby, Orleans county, New York, August 10th, 1815.

All of the family lived in Raisin with their parents until they "went for themselves," except William, the subject of this sketch, who stopped at Tecumseh, and with the exception of one year, when he resided in Adrian, has since that time lived in Tecumseh. In 1830 he went to learn the cabinet maker's trade, in Geneseo, New York, and when he came to Tecumseh he followed that business. In 1834 he made a very elegant set of parlor furniture for Addison J. Comstock, of Adrian. In 1834 he, in company with H. A. Adams, engaged in a rather extensive furniture manufactory, which was operated by water power, located at the upper dam, in Brownville. After a few years, he and David Van Tine purchased Mr. Adams' interest in the business, and enlarged it, and carried it on for about eighteen years, it being the only furniture factory in this region for several years. Mr. Richard early took an interest in" the material pros- perity of Tecumseh, and has always been active in its growth and development, and has aided and benefited numbers of poor men in securing homes-sometimes to his own actual loss. He has built,

or been instrumental in building, ten brick stores, and a large number of dwelling houses in the village, and claims to have erected more stores and dwellings, and advanced its interests more than any other one man in Tecumseh. He retired from active business about ten years ago, and since that time he has kept a private office for the purpose of doing his personal business, and that of loaning money, etc. Mr. Richard is well known throughout the county, and has an honorable record. In May, 1843, he married Miss Mary E. Hoag, daughter of Judge Hoag, of Tecumseh. She died in 1853. In September, 1855, he married Miss Sarah Logan, daughter of Edward Logan, Esq., of Sparta, New York, She came from Ireland with her parents when she was two years old. Both the Richard and Logan families are Anglo Saxon, and descendants of the old Scotch Puritans, who, owing to the persecution of the non-conformists, during the administration of the notorious Lauderdale, in 1679, in the reign of Charles the Second, fled from their homes in Scotland, to the north of Ireland, which had then become nearly depopulated by intestine war, and with others, established a Scotch colony, in Antrim county. This colony grew and prospered, and at an early day many of its descendants emigrated to America, bringing with them their industry, thrift, enterprise, and their religious zeal, all very important elements in the moral and. material development of this then new country.
