spent his summers in Saratoga. In 1835, his health having improved, he came to Michigan, and in the town of Marshall, Calhoun Co., located the south- west quarter of section 12. On this farm he made fine improvements and built good buildings. He also built a brick house in Marshall. In 1849 he sold his farm, and went to Pine Grove, Van Buren Co., where he built a steam saw-mill. Here he had two mills burned, but he persevered, and built a third, which his son now owns.
In 1860, Mr. Clement bought a farm in Oshtemo, which he greatly improved, and built a fine house and barns. Also owned three sections of land in Missouri, which he bought of the government, and from which he realized a handsome profit. In 1863 he sold his Oshtemo farm, and moved into the village of Kalamazoo, where he has built three fine houses. In 1879 he moved with his wife into the town of Brady, on the Clement farm, where he still resides. In politics Mr. Clement is a Democrat. April 16, 1826, he married Miss Sybil Peters, daughter of James Peters. Children,-Margaret, born May 4, 1827; James L., March 3, 1830; Charles A., Sept. 3, 1834 ; Timothy, Aug. 7, 1837; Seth N., Sept. 26, 1840; William P., May 10, 1842; George, Sept. 17, 1844 ; Mary, Oct. 1, 1846; Amy A. and Emily Jane (twins), Dec. 24, 1850.

TOWNSHIP ORGANIZATION AND CIVIL LIST.
The name Brady, as compared with itself when first ap- plied to this region, comprehends but little. The original township, as formed by act of the Legislative Council, Nov. 15, 1829, included " the counties of Kalamazoo and Barry, and all the country lying north of the same," attached to St. Joseph County for judicial purposes. The first town- ship-meeting was probably held as directed, at the house of Abram I. Shaver, in what is now Prairie Ronde township, in the spring of 1830, as William Duncan, a resident of the latter town, represented the township of Brady in that year as one of the Board of Supervisors of St. Joseph County. July 30, 1830, Kalamazoo County was separately organized, and Brady township was reduced in size to the south half thereof. By subsequent acts other townships were formed from portions of it, until, in 1842, it was left to include only what are now Brady and Wakeshma, and the latter was set off March 25, 1846. The record of the town-meeting for 1842, when a new order of things was inaugurated, is as follows :
" Met Pursuant to Public Notice at an annual Township Meeting, held at the Dwelling House of Robert Jenkinson in the Township of Brady, on Monday, the 4th day of April, A.D. 1842, for the purpose of electing Township Officers for the Ensuing year.
"Wm. B. Randall# chosen Moderator; the meeting was called to order; the meeting proceeded to elect, viva voce, a Board of Inspectors for the ensuing day. Voted, That Daniel C. Ward, Bradley S. Wil- liams, Nelson Wilcox, and Nelson Bond serve as Inspectors of Elec- tiou the ensuing day ; Voted, That Linus Cross and Manley P. Axtell serve as Clerks of the Board for said election.

"The Meeting then Voted, That they should Proceed to appoint their Overseers of Highways and attend to making their by-Laws & to transact such other buisiness as should come before the Meet- ing viva voce before Canvissing the votes.
" Voted, that Amos Bond serve as Overseer of Highways in Dist. No. 1; Jacob Lemons for Dist. No. 2; John W. Barclay for Dist. No.
