JOHN CLEE was born on May 31, 1824. at Toddington, in the County of Gloucester, England, and is the second son of John and Martha (Brown- ing) Clee. His father was born at Ludlow, in the County of Shropshire, England, on March 28, 1795, in which county his ancestors lived for many generations, and whose family name was given to a mountainous range of country, called the Clee Hills. Some members of the family were in pro- fessional life, and the elder Mr. Clee was a minister in the Wesleyan Methodist Church for over forty years, and until the time of his death, at Chelten- ham, England, in the sixty-fourth year of his age. Martha Clee, his wife, was born at Rodborough, in the County of Gloucester, on October 18, 1799, her parents and ancestors being engaged in agricultural pursuits. For seventy years she was a member of the Wesleyan Methodist Church. She died at Cheltenham, England, on April 3, 1886, at the age of eighty-seven.
John Clee, the subject of this sketch, was edu- cated in private schools of England, and in his twenty-sixth year started in business for himself, engaging in mercantile pursuits. In 1850, he was married to Hannah Fry, daughter of James Fry, a carver, gilder and picture frame manufacturer, in the city of Cheltenham, England. They had a family of four sons and one daughter, of whom only one, a son named Walter William Clee is liv- ing. For over thirty years Mr. Clee was engaged in a general business in the town of Trenton, Michi- gan. He now controls two large flour mills, one at Trenton and the other at Detroit, and is also en- gaged in the manufacture of earth paint materials, in the city of Wyandotte, Michigan.
In politics Mr. Clee was originally a Whig, of the Clay school, and has been a Republican ever since the organization of that party. Although physi- cally incapacitated to take part in the late Civil War, he nevertheless gave liberal financial support to the Union cause. He has long been a member of the Masonic fraternity, and for over forty years has been affiliated with the Methodist Episcopal church. Mr. Clee is a man of democratic tastes and methods and of a genial disposition. Possess- ing strong business instincts, his early entrance into mercantile life has resulted in a most flatter- ing success. He is in every sense of the word a self-made man and his life illustrates the fact that industry and perseverance coupled with honesty and economy, will bring a substantial and gratify- ing reward.
ISAAC CALLENDAR SAUNDERS was born May 14, 1825, and is a son of Harry and Eliza (Callender) Saunders. The father was born in 1802, and the mother in 1805, and both of them were of English ancestry. The fact that their home was on the shore of Lake Champlain, had doubtless much to do with the taste that their sons Phineas and Isaac both had for life on the lakes.
The father, Harry Saunders, was well known as a public-spirited citizen, active in political life, and especially prominent in the State militia, both in New York and Michigan. He emigrated to Michi- gan in 1832, and in 1839 served as representative in the State Legislature.
His commission as Captain in the 20th Regiment of New York Cavalry, in 1825, bears the signature of the eminent Governor De Witt Clinton, and in Michigan he held commissions as Colonel from Governors Mason, Barry and Felch. In 1854 he was appointed by Governor Parsons, Brigadier Gen- eral of the first brigade, first division of the militia of Michigan.
Isaac C. Saunders attended the district school until about fifteen years of age, when he com-

menced to care for himself. He served for a brief period on the steamboat " Macomb," commanded by S. F. Atwood, then running on Lake Erie, and in the winter was employed in Barclay's iron foun- dry, and in the summer was again sailing on one of the lake boats, spending the succeeding winter in the Michigan Central engineering shops, then located in Detroit, where the City Hall now stands. By these methods, followed through several years, he obtained both a theoretical and practical knowl- edge of engines and boilers, became an expert in their construction and management, and was soon well known as a marine engineeer and machinist.
His thorough knowledge of his business coupled with his methodical habits and irreproachable con- duct, caused his services to be always in demand, and he was always sure of a position, and served on a large number of steamboats including the old "Southern Michigan," and the "Arrow."
During the War with the South he was able to render valuable service to the Government, enlisting in 1863, under Quartermaster Arthur Edwards, the Master Machinist and Chief Engineer of the gov- ernment fleet on the Tennessee river, and held this position with entire satisfaction to the government, remaining until the fall of Richmond rendered the fleet no longer necessary.
After his return to his home in Trenton he con- tinued his former occupation, one of the last trips he made professionally being on the screw wheel steamer Algoma, commanded by Captain Kirby, which he took to Mackinaw where it was to serve as the first railroad ferry between Point St. Ignace and old Mackinaw.
Under appointment from President Cleveland he served as Deputy Collector of Customs, at Trenton, and is at present Justice of the Peace, for Trenton, and the township of Monguagon. Politically he is a Democrat, and undoubtedly went into the war and came from the war as truly a War Democrat as any who enlisted. He isa member of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, having passed through all the chairs in the Trenton Lodge, and has served repeat- edly as a delegate to the Grand Lodge. He is also connected with the Knights of Honor. Religiously his sympathies are more particularly with the Methodist Episcopal church, and his character and manner is such that it would be easy to believe that he practiced most, if not all, of the Christian virtues. Unassuming, sympathetic, conscientious, and considerate, he is worthy of the esteem in which he is held.
He was married in 1851 to Ellen A. Stout, a native of Pennsylvania; she died in 1874, and is buried in Woodmere Cemetery.
They had five children, Harry D., born in 1852, died in 1872; Eva A., born in 1852, married Cap-
tain John Duddleson and died in 1876; Charles C., born in 1855, died in infancy ; Flora C., born in 1856, now the wife of ,W. J. Keeney ; and Edith Ruth, born in 1867.
PHINEAS EARLL SAUNDERS was born at Whithall, Washington County, New York, January 4, 1824. He was the eldest son of Harry and Eliza C. Saunders, whose home was on the shores of the beautiful Lake Champlain. At the age of eleven, he removed with his parents to Michigan, and settled at Truago, now Trenton, then an almost unbroken forest. His educational advan- tages were meagre, for, at the age of sixteen, after the death of his mother, his father placed him as an apprentice in the machine shop of Stebbins Brothers, at Maumee, where he learned the trade of machinist and engineer, which pursuit he fol- lowed on land and water for a number of years. He was for a long time in the employ of the De- troit, Toledo, Sandusky and Cleveland line of steamers, acting as chief engineer of the steamers "John Owen," "Bay City," and " Arrow." His more than ordinary ahilities soon brought him to the front, and in the year of 1860, he was appointed to the office of United States Inspector of Steam Vessels, under the administration of James Buchanan, which office he held until the time of his death. He was an obliging, faithful and con- scientious officer, noted for his truthful and honor- able dealings with all with whom he had business transactions.
He was married on May 13, 1849, to Clarinda C. Bill, of Trenton, Michigan. Their only child, a son, George R., died at the age of one year and two months.
During the years that he was sailing, his home was at Trenton, but after his appointment to the office of Inspector, he resided in Detroit for a num- ber of years, and then removed to his farm just south of the village of Trenton, where he lived until the time of his death. He died on July 24, 1881, of cholera morbus, after a short illness. He was in- terred in Woodmere Cemetery at Detroit. He was an Odd Fellow, a member of the Masonic frater- nity, and had taken the thirty-third degree of the Scottish Rite. While he never made a public pro- fession of religion, his preferences and support were given to the Protestant Episcopal church. He was ever ready to lend a helping hand to others, and his good deeds were many. He was universally liked and respected by all who were brought in con- tact with him either socially, or through business. The following tribute is paid to his character and memory by one of his closest and most intimate friends : " Reticent by nature, he seldom revealed his inner thoughts and feelings to others, and while all

with whom he came in contact found him the same genial cordial gentleman, it was reserved for the very few to understand him thoroughly. One of his strong characteristics was a kindly regard for the feelings of others, yet he would never sacrifice truth and justice, and this was especially true in acts per- taining to his official duties. He was never actu- ated by impulse, but after carefully weighing the merits of a case. he formed his decision, which was seldom reversed. He was an excellent student of
human nature, and was seldom deceived in his es- timate of a man even upon short acquaintance. The true record of his life cannot be written, be- cause there remains not the wise sayings and bril- liant orations that mark those whom the world calls great, but simply the memory of a life full of unos- tentatious acts of charity and kindness, which only came to the knowledge of the few who knew him best."
NANKIN TOWNSHIP.
This township created an October 20, 1829, out of part of what had been the Township of Bucklin, consists of Town 2, North of Range 9 East. As it was created out of Bucklin, and as that township no longer exists, it seems proper to give here the names of the officers of that township, especially as the most of them remained in the new Township of Nankin. The township officers of Bucklin were as follows :
1827. Supervisor. Marcus Swift ; Clerk, Joseph Hickox ; Assessors, Joseph Hanchett, Wm. McCar- ty, Henry Wells, L. G. Hanson, A.
