He was nominated soon after his admission and elected to the office of Circuit Court commissioner, and filled the office till the expiration of the term, ending Jan. 1, 1879.
In the fall of 1878, Mr. Shepard was nominated for the office of prosecuting attorney, and after a very spirited canvass, in which he took a leading part and made many speeches, he was elected. He has a large and growing law practice, and enjoys an enviable reputation among the Hillsdale practitioners. In politics he is a staunch Repub- lican.
ASHER B. LA FLEUR.
The present treasurer of Hillsdale County, Asher B. La Fleur, is of French descent, his parents having been natives of France. Their son, Asher, was the oldest of three chil- dren, and was born in Cattaraugus Co., N. Y., July 1, 1840.
When five years of age he was left an orphan and with- out a protector, and as the result of this misfortune he and

his sister were sent to the Erie County almshouse. Asher was soon after bound out to a farmer until his seventeenth year, and followed farming as a pursuit. In 1860 he came to Hillsdale and became a student at the college, and dur- ing this period enlisted as a private in Company H, 4th Michigan Volunteer Infantry, serving with great credit for four years, and distinguishing himself during that time for personal bravery. He was engaged in all the principal battles under Mcclellan, Hooker, Burnside, Pope, Meade, and Grant.
The following war record, published in a leading county paper, gives a clear idea of Mr. La Fleur's career as a soldier :
" Among those returned to you was Asher B. La Fleur, one of the bravest of the brave. If he had been a general his name would have been immortal ; as a common soldier he deserves at your hands, at least, the recompense of a living. Always faithful as a soldier, ready for duty, and never failing to perform it. At Gettysburg he was left among the slain on the field of battle, shot through the body, and supposed by all to be mortally wounded. After suffering for months, sometimes without any one to even bathe his wounds, by almost a miracle he was restored to health. And with that he again returned to duty, to again fall in the midst of battle at Spottsylvania, with his leg crushed by a grape-shot, and bleeding from ruptured arte- ries. He was again saved, almost as miraculously as be- fore, and after two amputations had been performed, but saved with a body disfigured and scarred in behalf of his country."
He was discharged while acting as orderly sergeant, in June, 1865. Since that time he has served as township treasurer of Litchfield for ten years, and was elected treas- urer of Hillsdale County in the fall of 1878. He was married to Laura Hadley, of Litchfield, Feb. 22, 1865, and has three children. His political views are strongly Re- publican.
ROBERT A. WEIR.
Robert A. Weir was the fourth in a family of four child- ren. His father was a native of Scotland and his mother was born in England. They came to Michigan and settled in Monroe, in 1833, in which city their son Robert was born, Sept. 3, 1838. They moved to Hillsdale County, after a residence of ten years in Monroe, and located in the city of Hillsdale.
Robert was nominated in 1877 for the position of county recorder, and received a very flattering vote. In 1879 he was re-elected, and fills the position at present.
He was married to Lucy M. Tracy, of Hillsdale, April 14, 1873, and has two children. He is a Republican in politics.
GEORGE W. BULLOCK.
Mr. Bullock may with justice be termed a Green Moun- tain Boy, since he claims Vermont as his native State,
having been born in Fair Haven, in that State, Nov. 23, 1837. He came to Concord, Mich., with his parents, and remained with them until nineteen years of age, mean- while learning the blacksmith trade and following it until the spring of 1861, when he enlisted in Company B, 1st Michigan Infantry, and was honorably discharged after his term of service expired. In October of 1861 he came to Jonesville, and pursued his trade till July of the following year, when he organized Company G of the 18th Michigan Volunteers, and was its captain, doing active service with his company. He was provost-marshal at Decatur, Ala., during 1864, also acted in the same capacity on two later occasions. Resigning on account of illness, he returned to Jonesville, and carried on a blacksmith and carriage manufacturing business till his election to the office of sheriff of his county in 1876. He was re-elected in 1878, and still fills the office. His political views have always been strongly Republican.
CORVIS M. BARRE.
Huron Co., Ohio, was the birthplace of Mr. Barre, and the date of his birth Nov. 29, 1848. His father removed from the Empire State; Tompkins County being the scene of his labors, where he cultivated a productive farm. His son, Corvis, remained in Ohio under the parental roof until twenty-two years of age, when he became ambitious to seek a wider field of usefulness and came to Michigan, choosing as his residence the township of Reading, in Hillsdale County. Here he engaged in the manufacture of gloves and mittens, and operated largely in grain and stock.
While Mr. Barre was still a resident of Ohio, and at the age of sixteen years, he joined the 164th Ohio Regiment during the war, and did good service as a soldier. After his discharge, he engaged in teaching until his advent in Reading. He has always taken much interest in politics, and has aided materially in winning the battles of the Republican party in his county, having been since his first vote was cast a staunch adherent of the party. In the fall of 1878 he was nominated for county clerk, and as an evi- dence of the personal esteem in which he is held by his constituents, it may be mentioned that he received a most flattering vote, running one hundred and seventy-five votes ahead of his ticket. Mr. Barre is a gentleman of fine physical proportions, and of a genial temperament which wins for him many friends.
GEN. CHRISTOPHER J. DICKERSON.
Among the citizens of Hillsdale who have filled positions of honor and trust, and whom the hand of death has cut down in the midst of a career of distinguished usefulness, was Gen. C. J. Dickerson.
Born in Lewiston, N. Y., Sept. 10, 1828, he early re-

moved to Michigan, and settled with his parents in a portion of the country which was then an almost unbroken wilder- ness. His father soon after died, leaving to his tender care his mother and her younger children. While laboring for their support he devoted his leisure to study, and at the age of seventeen engaged in teaching. He afterwards became the principal of the Union School of Hillsdale, and at the same time pursued the study of law in the office of Hon. E. H. C. Wilson, being admitted in 1851, and at once en-

tering upon a lucrative practice. Soon after he was elected prosecuting attorney of the county, which office he filled for two successive terms.
Shortly after the outbreak of the rebellion, he was commis- sioned as lieutenant-colonel of the 10th Michigan Infantry, and in the spring of 1862 took the field with his regiment. He was wounded in the service and finally taken prisoner, and after much hardship and suffering exchanged, when he returned home in enfeebled health, and was compelled from that fact to retire from the service. He was then elected judge of probate, and re-elected to the same office in 1868, having by his fidelity to the important duties of his office afforded general satisfaction to his constituents. This posi- tion he filled with distinguished success to the day of his death. No more correct estimate of the character of Gene- ral Dickerson could be obtained than is afforded by the warm expressions of members of the bar at his decease.
He is described by one as " a nobleman by nature,-gene- rous in all his impulses, kind, confiding, obliging, and for- giving. Conscious of no wrong in himself, he suspected none in others." Another eminent professional brother pays this tribute to his memory : " Possessed of a warm heart and a fervid and brilliant imagination, he displayed rare eloquence when pleading for right and justice; and while his kindness and conciliatory spirit led him to settle and reconcile dis-
putes when he reasonably could, still when he pressed a trial he displayed untiring energy, unflinching courage, and great power as an advocate. His kindness of heart made him the friend of the poor and oppressed, and they ever found in him a ready advocate, without regard to fee or pecuniary reward. His reward was the consciousness of having done a noble act." Another says: " Never have I known a member of the bar who entertained so little bitterness, so little unkindness toward his opponents, engaged in earnest contention for their clients, as he. He was always genial, always ready to clasp hands after the scenes of debate were over, and overlook any unpleasantness."
With such sincere and heartfelt expressions it is easy to form a correct estimate of the character of the subject of this sketch, and these warm expressions seem but a just tribute to his memory. General Dickerson died after a brief and unexpected illness. He married, in 1852, Miss Louisa A. Welch, and enjoyed twenty years of uninterrupted happiness during his married life. Shortly before his severe illness, Mrs. Dickerson with her son and daughter sailed for Europe, to spend two years in travel and study, where the general was to join them at the expiration of a year. When apprised of his illness they immediately retraced their steps, but the swift messenger of death had completed his work ere they reached their home. The only daughter, borne down by the weight of her sorrow, soon followed her father to the grave, and a year later Mrs. Dickerson died after a brief illness. One son survives, and is now residing in Hillsdale.
JOHN W. FALLEY,
the subject of this memoir, was born at the village (now city) of Westfield, Nov. 25, 1814. His ancestral history as far as known is very brief. His great-grandfather was French and great-grandmother English.
Richard Falley, his great-grandfather, when eight years old, with a number of other children, was invited to dine on board of a French man-of-war, anchored at the (then French, now English ) Isle of Wight. When they came again on deck, the ship was far out at sea. They were taken to the French province of Nova Scotia, to help settle that new and far-off land.
His son, Richard, Jr., the grandfather of John W., was born at Georgius River, Province of Maine, Jan. 31, old style, or Feb. 17, new style, 1740. When sixteen years old, Richard, Jr., was made a prisoner by the Indians at the capture of Fort Edward by the French and Indians. He was taken to Montreal and sold to a lady for sixteen gallons of rum. Soon after he was sent back to Massachu- setts (his home) by the same lady. The next we learn of Richard, Jr., he commanded a company of volunteers at the battle of Bunker Hill, with his eldest son, then a boy of fourteen years, as his fifer. The only armory in the colonies was then at Springfield, Mass. We soon find Cap- tain Falley commissioned as superintendent of that institu- tion, which position he continued to hold until the close of the war, assisted by his son, Richard, Jr., then a boy, who
118
HISTORY OF HILLSDALE COUNTY, MICHIGAN.
was the father of John W., who says, " When we were boys in the wilds of New York State, often have we seen and hunted with those old Springfield muskets, with the name of R. Falley on the locks, and though not having the finish of our present arms, they were very correct, and pow- erful shooters with either shot or ball, as many a bear or deer in the wilds of New York could testify fifty or sixty years ago. We well remember that the boys who stood with their shoulders at the breech of the musket felt it a power when fired with a full charge."
O
JOHN W. FALLEY.
In 1819, Richard Falley, Jr., with his family, moved to Ohio, and settled near the "Ogontz Place," now Sandusky City. As there were no school privileges, John was, in June, 1821, sent back to Oswego Falls, now Fulton, N. Y. In 1832 he returned to his father's, in Ohio, and after spending three years at the Huron Institute, studied medi- cine, graduating at the first session of the Cleveland Medi- cal College.
He first located at Greenfield, O., where he practiced medicine three years. In October, 1844, he removed to the new and busy village (now city) of Hillsdale, Mich. In this place he labored in his profession most assiduously for the first twenty-five years, enduring in himself, and seeing in others, all the hardships and privations as well as pleas- ures (which are not a few) of a new country.
For several years he acted as trustee of the village, and for twenty years has been a member of the Board of Edu- cation. For nineteen years he has been elected county super- intendent of the poor, for sixteen years has held a commis- sion as United States examining surgeon, and for nine years has been secretary of the Farmers' Mutual Fire In- surance Company, yet he still lives, eats heartily, sleeps soundly, and tips the beam at two hundred and twenty-six pounds.
ARVIN F. WHELAN, M.D.
Dr. Whelan is of English and Irish descent, his an- cestors having early emigrated to New England. He was born, however, in Oneida Co., N. Y., and received in his early years such an education as the common schools af- forded, supplemented by instruction from his father, who was a man of intelligence, and an engineer by profession. He was not satisfied, however, with these limited opportuni- ties, and devoted all of his leisure time to study and im- provement, and in 1851 came to Michigan, with a view to

establishing himself in the medical profession, having already made some progress in his professional studies. After a thorough medical course he associated himself with Dr. E. D. Cone, of Hillsdale, and two years later by his death suc- ceeded to his practice. In August, 1861, he entered the army as assistant surgeon of the 11th Michigan Infantry, and was later made surgeon of the 1st Michigan Sharp- shooters. From that time, during his service in the army he continued to fill successive positions of trust until finally promoted to the position of surgeon-in-chief of division, and attached to Gen. Hartranft's staff, with the brevet rank of colonel. At the close of the war he returned to his home in Hillsdale, and engaged in the pursuit of his profession, where he enjoys a large practice. He has also devoted himself with much energy to public enterprises, and has filled the offices of alderman, president of the village, and county treasurer, throwing his accustomed earnestness into each department of labor. Dr. Whelan is a prominent member of the State Medical Society, and was the first president of the Southern Michigan Medical Society. He is a ready speaker on professional topics, and his medical lectures before the students of Hillsdale College are listened to with much interest. He married, in 1857, Miss Delle H. Anderson, of Genesee County, and has two children, - a son and daughter.
THE GAY HOMESTEAD, BUILT BY ERASTUS GAY, FAYETTE, HILLSDALE CO., MICHIGAN.
HISTORY OF THE TOWNSHIPS AND VILLAGES
OF
HILLSDALE COUNTY.
FAYETTE.
THE present township of Fayette is 4 by 6 miles in di- mensions, and includes the southern tier of sections of town 5 south, and the north half of township 6 south, range 3 west, according to the government survey. The original township of Fayette, erected by act of the Legislative Coun- cil, passed March 17, 1835, included the whole of range 3, from the northern boundary of the county to the State line on the south. From this town have been subsequently formed the townships of Scipio, Hillsdale, Cambria, Wood- bridge, and the west half of Amboy.
The surface of the township is rolling, and the soil is of the quality found throughout Southern Michigan, and has all the peculiarities pertaining to the drift formation of this region. Abundant water is furnished by the St. Joseph River and several smaller streams. The old Detroit and Chicago turnpike, built between 1832 and 1836, and 254 miles in length, crosses this township, passing through the village of Jonesville ; and the main line of the Lake Shore and Michigan Southern Railway forms a junction at Jones- ville with the Lansing division of the same road (formerly the Northern Central Michigan Railway), and the Fort Wayne, Jackson and Saginaw Railway, thus furnishing ex- cellent and ample railroad facilities.
The population of Fayette in 1838 was 685; there were at that time in operation a grist-mill and four saw-mills, and six merchants had established themselves in business within the limits of the township ; there were also 373 head of neat stock, 69 horses, 29 sheep, and 517 hogs .* By the State census of 1874, the township had a population of 2353. The following statistics are from the same census :
