Andrew S. Campau was born July 15, 1839. He is a son of Antoine Campau, one of the earliest settlers in Kent county; came here in 1835, and is remembered as a fur trader among the Indians. His sons were trained from their earliest years to all the details of the business and understood the Indian dialects as well as their native tongue. The senior Campau established his residence at . 583 Division street in 1841, where his son, Andrew S., now lives. The latter was born in this city in a house located on Monroe street, almost opposite the Rathbun House. He was educated in the schools of that day and was occupied in the fur trade. In 1857 he set out for a trip to California, went to New York and took pass- age on the steamer "Herman " of the Bremen line, via Cape Horn. They encountered a severe storm and were disabled off the coast of Clella. They stopped for repairs and were, with a little delay, soon enabled to proceed. The trip occupied seven months, and . was shortened by a passage through the straits of Magellan. They landed at San Francisco and spent two days before going into the mines. Mr. Campau passed two years in the gold diggings of Sacramento county and then went to the plains of Utah and Nevada, in the employ of the Government as a scout, to protect the whites from the Piutes and Shoshones at the period of the Law- son murder and Mountain Meadow massacre. He passed two years of peril and adventure and then went to the upper coast of Califor- nia, where he remained until 1869, when he returned to Grand Rapids and re-engaged in the fur trade with the Indians-the only individuals similarly occupied in Kent county. He was married May 2, 1876, to Mary E. Blackwell, of Kent City; they have two children-Antoine and Frank.

Denis L. Campau was born at Detroit, Mich., Oct. 6, 1833. His father, Antoine Campau, settled in Grand Rapids tp. in 1835, when he was but two years old.

He was thus employed until 1852 when he went to California and engaged in mining in Sacramento county, also in Montana, and in the celebrated Comstock lodes in Nevada. He followed mining until his return to Grand Rapids in 1875. He met with the usual experiences and adventures incident to a mi-

Franklin Seminary and took a course in Civil Engineering. After this was accomplished, he assisted in making a topographical sur- vey of Delaware county for Mr. Jay Gould, who was at that time a resident of the county. From these surveys Mr. Gould made a county map which circulated freely throughout the county and State. In October, 1854, he came to Grand Rapids and entered the law office of his uncle, Gen. S. G. Champlin, junior partner of the law office of Patterson & Champlin. He read law with them un- til June, 1855, when he was admitted to the bar and commenced practice. In 1855 he was employed by the city of Grand Rapids to draft a new city charter, which he did, and said charter was adopted by the State Legislature in 1857. This was made the foundation of the present charter of the city. Mr. Champlin has continued in the practice of law in Grand Rapids, and at present is the senior partner of the firm of Champlin & More.

ship with Homer Eaton, in the baking business, but which has since developed into the manufacture of all grades of crackers. Mr. Christenson says: " I have always been a Republican, and never will be anything else." He was married July 5, 1866, to Mary E. Wood, a native of New York.

Melvin B. Church, manager of the Alabastine Co., office Grand Rapids, was born at Talmadge, Ottawa Co., Mich., Nov. 29, 1849. His father, Bethuel Church, went to Ottawa county in 1836, and was the first Supervisor elected in that county. The subject of this sketch grew to manhood in Michigan, receiving his education in the public schools of Lamont and Grand Rapids. When 18 years of age engaged in business, and in 1874 invented the material known as Alabastine. The following year he obtained a patent on its manufacture, and since that time has devoted his entire time and attention to its introduction, meeting with strenuous.opposition, but always coming out the victor. A brief sketch of this manufact- ured material has already been given. Mr. Church was mar- ried in 1875, to Lizzie, daughter of the Hon. John Haire, an old pioneer and prominent business man of Georgetown, Ottawa Co., Mich. They have two sons-Melvin Clay and Clifford C.

Hon. Thomas Brownell Church was born Sept. 15, 1821, at Dighton, Bristol Co., Mass .; is son of Gamaliel and Mary (Almy) Church. His mother died when he was a babe and he was brought up by a widowed aunt at Dighton, residing at intervals with a sister, Mrs. Harriet Balies Brownell, of Providence, R. I., who, with himself, are the only remaining ones of his father's fam- ily of seven children. The senior Church was a fisherman and shipbuilder, and later a dealer in ship stores at Providence. Mr. Church, of this sketch, was a frail child, and though early showing evidence of a high order of intellectual ability, received for a time only simple home instruction from his aunt and such as he gathered from the books to which he had access. At 10 he was sent to a Quaker school, where he made good progress. At 12 he was sent to sea for his health and spent some time coasting from Boston to the West Indies. He made a rapid preparation for college and matriculated at Washington, now Trinity, College, at Hartford, Conn. He remained until '37 when failing health compelled him to spend a year in Virginia. In 1838 he returned to Providence, and in 1839 accompanied his uncle, John Almy, a pioneer founder of this city, to Michigan on a surveying tour. The same year he entered the law office of Lieut .- Gov. James Wright Gordon, of Marshall, where he fitted for his profession, and in 1843 entered upon its practice at Grand Rapids. He has served two years as Pros. Att'y of Kent county under appointment by Gov. John S. Barry. (Kent county at that time included a large portion of the western part of the State.) He was a delegate to the second Con-

stitutional Convention of Michigan; in 1851 he represented the district of Kent and Ottawa counties in the Legislature; in 1855 he again represented Kent county; in 1852 he was elected Mayor of Grand Rapids and led the forlorn hope of the Democratic party as Congressional nominee of the western and northern counties of Michigan in '52, '58, '60 and '62. He labored earnestly and effect- ively as a War Democrat and promoted enlistments in the Fed- eral army. He has since been engaged in the practice of his pro- fessional business and has been connected with some of the most celebrated cases on the civil and criminal court registers. His first important case was a murder trial in Muskegon-the People vs. Miller-in '44. The next of importance was in a trial for arson-People against George Mills. He was attorney for the prosecution in the celebrated Vanderpool case, securing a convic- tion in the first trial ; on the second the jury disagreed, and the third trial proved the inefficiency of the code to cope with the in- genious interpretations of its conditions by sagacious lawyers. The discharge of Vanderpool is and always will be a stupendous phenomenon in the records of jurisprudence of the Peninsular State. Mr. Church has been City Attorney, and was for four years editor of the Grand River Democrat and Enquirer. He was married in 1841 to Mary E., daughter of Col. John Stuart, of Mar- shall, a pioneer of Calhoun county and prominent business man of his time. They have had two sons : Fred. S. Church is well known as an artist on the most prominent illustrated journals and periodicals in the East, and has been for years engaged on Scrib- ner's Monthly, St. Nicholas and illustrated publications; on Har- per's Monthly and Weekly, etc., and is at present illustrating Longfellow's Poems. John Thomas Church, second son, was the child of his ancestors and inherited their love for a seafaring life, and at 14 began his career on Lake Michigan. At 16 he sailed from New York on a four-years' voyage, and in his third year out, off the coast of Ireland, met with an accident which resulted in his death, Dec. 26, 1869.

Erastus Clark (deceased) was born in Canada Nov. 3, 1803, son of Moses and Patty (Bell) Clark, natives of Connecticut and New York. He came to this county in June, 1836, and settled in Walker tp., where he purchased SO acres of land in a wild state. His brother bought 80 acres north of Taber on sec. 2; he re- sided there till 1866, then sold out and moved into the tp. of Grand Rapids. He was a farmer by occupation. He was mar- ried in Canada to Hannah Phillips, a native of Pennsylvania, July 14, 1817. They have five children --- William S., Betsy, wife of K.J. Brown, Cyrus B., Charles H., Hannah M., wife of Marcus Taber, of Walker. The former died March 14, 1880; the latter is still living and although 68 years of age is remarkably active.

were among the early pioneers of Kent county, coming here in 1836 or '37 .. He was married in Kent on Oct. 3, 1858, to Helen A., daughter of William and Debora Anderson, natives of Canada and Nova Scotia respectively. She was born in 1835. Her parents settled in this county in 1840 or 1842. They have had four children, three of whom are living-Luella H., J. A. and Gracie H. The deceased was William. Mr. Clark is en- gaged in manufacturing pumps, corner of Lewis and Campau streets; located here four years ago; has been in the business 14 years in Grand Rapids. Residence, corner Scribner and Eighth streets.

Fred S. Clark, County Clerk, was born at Joliet, Ill., June, 1848; is son of Calvin S. and Harriet (Pratt ) Clark. In 1861 his parents moved to Kalamazoo, and in 1863 Mr. Clark returned to his native place and entered the employ of Morgan and McAllis- ter, wholesale and retail grocers. On the dissolution of the firm he found himself out of business and for a time busied himself chopping cord wood until February, 1865, he came to Grand Rapids in search of more suitable employment. Nothing offering he went to Kalamazoo in May and engaged as driver with the American and United States Express Cos., afterward becoming head clerk for the U. S. Express Co., in same office. He returned to Joliet in 1867, and was employed two years as a carpenter and joiner, and in 1869 came back to this city. He rented a farm in Paris in partnership with A. J. Root, and opened a grange store at Bowen Station, where he failed in business but settled . with his creditors on a basis of 100 cents on a dollar. Mr. Clark was Postmaster and Agent for the M. C. R. R. while managing the store. In July, 1875, he was appointed Dep. Clerk of Kent county, and in 1876 was elected County Clerk by a flattering ma- jority ; was re-elected in '78, and again in '80, receiving the largest vote ever given for any one candidate for office since the organization of the county; received a majority of over 4,000. Mr. Clark's successful campaign in opposition to a popular candidate was all the more gratifying in that the contest was with a " foeman worthy of his steel." His character is unblemished, his public record honorable, his temperament equable and cheerful; he is popular socially, a tested friend, a genial companion, and carries the dignity of his position with manly grace and independence. He was married Dec. 12, 1872, to Edna, daughter of Philonzo Bowen, a pioneer of Paris. They have one child-Blanche L., born Feb. 15, 1881.

He attended common schools until the age of 15 years, when he came to Adrian, Mich., and attended the Union school two years, afterward going to the Academy at Sodus, Wayne Co., and the Seminary at Fulton, Oswego Co., N. Y. He then went into the hardware business at Rose with Lucien H. Dudley, a relation which continued two years and proved success- ful, but he was obliged to withdraw on account of illness and sold his interest to his partner. He engaged as traveling agent for the Howe Sewing-Machine Co., of Syracuse, N. Y., In 1871 he ope- rated as general agent, with headquarters at Detroit and Grand Rapids. July 3, 1877, he engaged in his present business in the Morton House stables, and April 17, 1879, located as above stated, where he keeps a livery, boarding and sale stable and hack line; owns 25 ho'ses, boards 35 and runs three hacks.

He was a farmer and cut the first road from Wheeling, W. Va., to Zanesville, O., and drove the first team over it. He went to Chillicothe, O., in its earliest days, and four years later removed to Lancaster, at a period when

it was first laid out. His mother, Elizabeth (Little) Coffinberry, was a native of Berkeley Co., Va. The parents fixed their resi- dence at Mansfield, O., in 1809, when their son was two years old. He received a common-school education, and at 18 years of age left the farm to learn the trade of millwright and carpenter, which calling he followed 13 years, winning a good repute as a mechanic. At the solicitation of the Civil Engineers' Corps of Ohio he enrolled himself in that body in 1836, and has seen much active service as civil engineer in the States of Ohio and Michigan. In 1844 he went to St. Joseph, Mich., and in 1846 came to Grand Rapids, where he operated a watch and clock repair shop four years. In 1850 he was elected first City Surveyor, and three years later was engaged by the Government as surveyor of lands in Michigan. In 1854 he was again elected City Surveyor and held the position three years. He has made about 150 addit ons to the city. In 1859 he surveyed a State road from Grand Rapids to Northport, in the extreme north of Leelanaw county, the construc- tion of which cost a month's travel on foot, carrying a knapsack. In 1860 he fulfilled a contract to construct a road 40 miles north of Newaygo, cutting and bridging it. In 1861 he enlisted and raised a company of 100 men at Grand Rapids (Co. C, 1st Reg. Mich. Eng's and Mech's); served as Captain one and one-half years during the war of the Rebellion, when he resigned. His collection of plans and drawings and curious remains of his career in his profession is novel, and affords matter for much entertain- ment. Jan. 9, 1881, he qualified for his present position. He was married Aug. 18, 1831, near Mansfield, O., to Jane Beach, born in Pennsylvania and reared in Ohio. Aug. 18, 1881, they cele- brated their golden wedding. They have had four children-Eunice, who died in 1844; Andrew B., married and residing in the city; Rebecca J. and Julia F. Mr. Coffinberry has had an experience covering a list of vicissitudes equal to that of most men who live to-day as representatives of the old pioneer period. He began the work of temperance here many years ago, and has labored unre- mittingly in its interests. He has been connected with the Odd- Fellows and Masonic Orders for several years. During his early residence in Grand Rapids he was a member of the Lyceum. This was superseded by the Lyceum of Natural History. During the war the latter ran rather low and resulted in the Kent Scientific Institute, which is still in existence, and is an important institu- tion of the city; of this he has always been an active member, serv- ing at different periods as the president of all these societies, and for the past five or six years he has been chairman of the com- mittee on archeology; he has made many explorations in that line, collecting many valuable relics in archæology.

Hon. Charles C. Comstock, President of the Grand Rapids Chair Co., and sole proprietor of Comstock's extensive pail factory, at Grand Rapids, was born at Sullivan, Cheshire Co., N. H., on the 5th of March, 1818. He attended the common schools of his native

town during the winter months, and labored on his father's farm during the summers, until 18 years of age. By his suggestion his father was induced to change his location, which proved a profitable change, and by his timely aid the father's new farm became very valuable. In 1842 Mr. Comstock directed his attention to the lumber business; he built a saw-mill, and soon owned several. In 1853 he emigrated to Grand Rapids, a town, at that time, of only about 3,000 inhabitants. Here he engaged in the same business, and, with his partners, as E. F. Ward & Co., brought to Grand Rapids the first machinery ever used in this city, in the manufact- ure, for the wholesale market, of doors, sash and blinds. In 1857 he purchased the furniture factory and business of E. W. and S. A. Winchester, when, by partnership complications, and the suspen- sion of the banks in that year, he was compelled to make an assign- ment. Rallying, however, from the blow, by the native energy of his character, he, in the next four years, paid his debts in full, and those of the parties with whom he had been connected; and, in 1862, inaugurated the first successful wholesale furniture trade entered upon at Grand Rapids. In 1863 he sold a half interest in this busi- ness to James M. and Ezra T. Nelson. In the fall of the same year he formed a partnership with Mr. Bowles, in the manufacture of pails; and during the following year bought his partner's interest in that business. In 1865 Mr. Comstock sold his interest in the furniture business to his son and two others. Since then he has formed no partnerships. He is still engaged in the lumber business, and in the manufacture of pails, tubs, sashes and doors. His factory consumes 10,000,000 feet of lumber annually. He also owns several hundred acres of farm lands. In 1863-'64 he was Mayor of Grand Rapids. In 1870, was nominated for Governor of the State by the Democratic party; and, in 1873, for Member of Congress, as the people's candidate. In 1840, in his native town, he married Miss Mary M. Winchester, a devoted Christian, who was called from this world in 1863. In 1865 he married Mrs. Cornelia Davis, of Grand Rapids. By her he had two children. In July, 1865, he was called to mourn the loss of his eldest daughter, her husband, Albert A. Stone, and their little son, who were victims of the awful wreck of the steamer " Brother Jonathan," which went down in a gale off the coast of California. Mr. Comstock's only son, Tileson A., died in 1870. He was a young man of superior business talents, and beloved by all who knew him; he was married, in 1865, to Miss Ellen, daughter of Hon. A. B. Turner, of Grand Rapids. No record of Mr. Comstock's life would do him justice that did not make mention of his princely donation, in the name of his wife and daughter, deceased, toward the building of the Baptist Church, at Grand Rapids, of which they were members. It consisted of 20 city lots, which have already netted the society some $7,000, with part yet undisposed of, by which they were enabled to finish their beautiful and commodious house of worship; Mr. Comstock has thus been the most liberal donor. This is but an illustration of the
