EDGAR WEEKS. one of the pioneer lawyers of Macomb County, son of Aaron Weeks, an old settler of the county, was born at Mt. Clemens August 3. 1839.

He was admitted as an attorney and counselor of the Macomb County bar in 1861, by Judge S. M. Green. During the previous year, he participated in the Lincoln cam- paign, and when hostilities began, he was among the first to share in the labor of organ- izing a military company. A reference to the military chapter of the general history will be sufficient to show the part which this soldier took in the war for the Union.

CHAPTER XXX.

ROMEO.

From that day in the first year of the third decade of the Nineteenth ('entury when the first settlements were made by American pioneers on the site of the present village of Romeo, progress has been made which eclipses even the brightest day dreams of the old residents. The locality has had every advantage: nature made it beautiful; the American pioneer made it useful. The former conferred upon the district a rich soil; the latter utilized it. transforming the virgin earth into well-cultivated fields and flowery gardens. The many changes which have marked the years of progress must exercise feelings of just pride in the hearts of the people. Few of the early occupiers live to realize the changes which have taken place: the greater number of old settlers do not regret the transformation; but there are yet living men and women who look back to the never-forgotten past and mourn the loss of those good old times when contentment waited on labor, and mourn the olden manners and customs which have been so effectnally revolutionized by the modern- izers.

The people of Romeo have from the earliest times paid much attention to educational matters. From the pioneer era to the present time, the school has been the theme of gos- sip and inquiry. A love of education formed a leading characteristic of the people. It has always been fostered and cherished by them. It has been raised up from a very mod- est beginning to great heights, until now the establishments devoted to it, the high order of its teachers and the number of its votaries, render the name of Romeo synonymous with that of culture.

The varied forms of Christianity have steadily advanced. Churches have multiplied until their spires or minarets are visible from every quarter of the village. Their bells do not now bespeak intolerance or savage bigotry; they merely peal forth to remind the peo- ple of prayer, or perchance, summon a set of worshipers to meeting.

The literary circles of the village have held a high place almost from the first years of settlement. The organizations of the present time boast of a high excellence and good government. They afford many instances of the dignity which attaches itself to cultivated nature in its highest form. and thus prepare the way, by precedent, for others to follow.

The press of Romeo is ably conducted. The writers of the Observer and Democrat have risen above flunkeyism, and deal justly by the civilization of our days. They oppose innovation. when such does not afford positive proof that greater results must follow. They stigmatize moral cowardice, and teach the truth that from the village Council room to the chambers of the National Government virtue should be doubly cherished, and vice subjected to rebuke and punishment.

The streets of the village are laid out at right angles, graded, and many of them shaded by a double line of thrifty trees. The neat, and, in many instances, elegant, resi- dences of the people spread out in all directions. A few of the churches are stately in appearance: all of them large, substantial buildings. The hotels and business houses are metropolitan in character. and it may be said of the entire village that. for cleanliness, freedom from rubbish and poor buildings. it will more than compare with any similar center of population in the Union.

HISTORY OF MACOMB COUNTY.

NAMING THE VILLAGE.

In 1829, N. T. Tavlor had reached Romeo. He had obtained that portion of the Hoxie farm lying east of Main street, and a corner lot west, from Asahel Bailey, upon which to place his store. Maj. Larned, of Detroit, had possession of the Hoxie tract west of Main street, and Asahel Bailey owned the balance of the corners.

In the fall of 1829, conference was had between these several parties, which resulted in the employment of Col. Hollister, then County Surveyor, in the spring of 1830, to lay out a village. That was the basis of the present plat. Main and St. Clair streets were established as now, and lots four rods by eight in size, and appropriate streets and alleys, were designated, though not opened, in many instances. until many years later.

When the proper survey had been made and the place was pronounced a village, the great question was to find a name for it. The conference was at Mr. Taylor's, and finally, when the gentlemen failed to suit themselves, Mrs. Laura Taylor ventured to suggest the name of Romeo, as being short, musical. classical and uncommon. The suggestion was acted upon - the name was adopted.

ORGANIC.

The act incorporating the village of Romeo was approved March 9, 1838. The bound- aries were Section 2 and the east half of Section 3. in the township of Washington, and the south half of Section 34 in the township of Bruce. On the first Monday of May fol- lowing, the electors assembled at the schoolhouse, when Dexter Mussey and Horace A. Jennison were appointed Judges, and Asa B. Ayres, Clerk of Election. Oel Rix was elected President; Dewitt C. Walker, Recorder; Linus S. Gilbert, Dexter Mussey, Aza- riah Prentiss, Denis Scranton, Wilkes L. Stuart and Gad Chamberlain, Trustees. These officers took the oath of office May 12. 1838, and entered upon their duties by appointing a committee to draft rules for the government of the Village Board. etc., etc. The report of this committee was considered June 11, 1838, and a set of by-laws, comprising seven- teen articles, adopted. At the meeting held on the latter date. Amos Palmer and John W. Dyar were elected Assessors: Martin F. Southwell, Marshal; and Horace A. Jennisou, Treasurer. The Assessors failed to qualify, so that, on September IS, they were re-elected. The first important resolution of the board is recorded under date September 29, 1838. It provided for raising a tax of one-half of 1 per cent upon real estate within the corporate limits, and to apply the sum accruing to the purchase of such land in the town of Bruce as might be required to render Main street 100 feet wide. This resolution was adopted.

The second annual meeting was not held in May. 1839, as provided for in the act, but was held over until September 16, 1839, when the freeholders met within the store of Nathan Dickenson & Co., under the Judges of Election, Dexter Mussey and Azariah Pren- tiss. The result of this election was as follows:

President-Aaron B. Rawles, 27 votes; Nathan Dickenson, 4: Dexter Mussey, 4; Asahel Bailey, 2; D. C. Walker, 1; H. Van Atter, 1.

Vankluk, 1: A. Holman. 1.
