Elliott Newton, fireman at Ypsilanti Paper-Mills, is a native of this county, and was born in 1846. In his early life he was in the employ of the M. C. R. R., and there gained a good practical experience in his vocation. He was married to Lucy Wheeler, and 3 children have been born to them-Mary, Tracy and Luella.

James M. Nichols, an early settler in Pittsfield tp., was born in Onondaga county, N. Y., Sept. 29, 1811. His parents, Jonathan P. and Keziah ( Drake) Nichols, emigrated to Michigan in 1832, locating 80 acres of land in Pittsfield tp., and the same amount in Ypsilanti tp., where the former died, Nov. 10, 1834, at the age of 57, and the latter, June 23, 1839, after reaching nearly three score and ten. After his father's death, James took possession of the homestead, where he remained until 1863, when he rented the farm and removed to Ypsilanti. Mr. Nichols was a soldier in the State militia under Gen. Edward Clark, of Ann Ar- bor, and Orderly under Capt. Horace Carpenter. He was married in 1835, to Amanda Dolph, by whom he has 3 children-Vernelia, Valmore C., who runs the farm, and Valnette. They also have an adopted child, Clara Dolph.

Mark Norris (deceased). "The death of any established citizen held in estima- tion in the community, makes a pause in the rushing tide of events, and calls the public mind to serious reflection. But now and then one falls, full of years and high in the regard of men, whose disappearance from the scene of action seems to mark the close of an era in local history." Such was the departure of Mark Norris. He was born at Peacham, Vt., in 1796, being one of a family of 14 chil- dren, 8 of whom yet survive. At the age of 20 he commenced his eminently useful career by removing to the "Genesee country," then the very extreme bor- der of the American settlements, where he was married in 1820, and remained in the business of merchandising until 1827. Mr. Norris was a Mason, and during the time of the anti-Masonic excitement he removed to Ypsilanti, in the Terri- tory of Michigan. He found the situation of the village congenial, bought property, and in 1828 brought his family on, and made what proved his final settlement. With an accurate foresight of the needs of a new country, he brought in machinery for carding wool and manufacturing cloth, and, in con- junction with William W. Harwood, built the lower dam, and commenced im- proving the water-power of the pleasant Huron. To this he soon added a stock of goods, and the earliest buildings in Ypsilanti were the scenes of his business and industry. Mr. Norris was Postmaster during most of the time of Jackson's two terms of office. Other public honors were urged upon him ; but though of decided political opinions, and ever ready to help the party and to pro- mote the measures which he conscientiously believed to be for the best interests of his country, he resolutely declined all office. His taste preferred busy, unob- trusive usefulness, to prominence in the public eye and ostentatious display. Mr. Norris was an enterprising and energetic man, and up to the time of his death, had probably bought and sold, built and improved. more than any other man in

Washtenaw county. He led in all schemes for the religious and intellectual benefit of Ypsilanti. His hospitable home was the headquarters of ministers of all denominations, teachers and other good workers on their way to labor for the good of the people in the wilderness of the West. His doors were always open to receive them and to minister to their wants. His love for children was so intense, that an intimate friend remarked :

"If I could wield the pencil of an artist I would make a picture. I would show an aged pilgrim with furrowed face, in his armed chair, an unmurmuring sufferer, patiently awaiting his appointed time. With a tearful eye, just leaning over his shoulder gently, you should see young-woman-hood, with her hand of love care- fully arranging the gray locks upon that venerated brow, while just at his feet there would play a noble boy of three summers-a boy whose face should tell him to have been rightly named-a boy of ceaseless activity ; but O, of what a love for grandpa! I would make such a picture that you could see nothing else, while it was present; and then I would tell you when I saw its actuality, and the little one that said ' When I get to heaven I will go right off and find grandpa.'" In no part of Mr. Norris' life did those traits of his character which had ever made him loved and respected, appear to better advantage, than when he left out-door usefulness, entered his dwelling for the last time, with a full knowledge of his con- dition, and sat down to die. During some of the weeks of his painful suffering a recumbent position was impossible. Supported by bolsters, in his easy chair, he awaited in calmness, in cheerfulness even, the arrival of the final message; en- during pain without petulance, and rather administering consolation to others than needing it himself. ' He departed this life in March, 1862, and his spirit winged its flight to that great beyond, where the "wicked cease from troubling and the weary are at rest."

Miss E. A. Oakley, dress-maker and milliner, Ypsilanti, established her dress- making business in 1879, and during the fall of 1880 added a fine stock of millinery. Miss Oakley has gained a large share of the public patronage since embarking in business, all of which she fully deserves.

Dr. F. K. Owen, physician and surgeon, Ypsilanti, was born in Pennsylvania in 1843, and is a son of James Owen, a farmer of that State.

Vol. Inf., and ultimately to the 43d Reg. Mo. Vol. Inf., Harding's old regiment. He was taken prisoner at Glasgow, Mo., but paroled the day following. He was honorably discharged at Benton Barracks, Mo., June 3, 1865. In 1872 he married Georgiana Webb, of Pittsfield tp.

He worked as a sailor on the vessels of the Northern lakes, and subsequently engaged extensively in the lumber business. In 1873 he purchased the Conklin (now Deubel's) Mills, of Ypsilanti, which he controlled for three years. Soon after the panic of 1873 Mr. Owen invested a large portion of his means in iron and rolling-mill stock, and its later increase in prices added largely to his wealth. In 1879 he bought his present residence at Ypsilanti. He married Anna S. Foot, a lady of fine musical talent. They have 3 children-2 boys and 1 girl.

Y., was a son of Andrew Rogers, a farmer of that county, who moved to Washtenaw county in 1834, and settled in Augusta tp., where he died in 1866.

Simeon G. Rowley, Ypsilanti, is a native of New York, and was born in Yates county, A. D. 1818. He is a son of Roderick and Lucinda (Pierce) Rowley. His father was a native of Connecticut, who moved into Yates county, N. Y., at an early date, and engaged in farming. The subject of this sketch was partially educated in his native county. In 1831 his parents and family came to this county and located on land in sec. 36, of the town of Pittsfield. In that town, and at Ypsilanti, Mr. Rowley completed his education. When his father came here he built a log house and began the clearing and improving of his land. On that place he lived uutil 1858, when he and his wife went to Kent county to live with a daughter. In 1859 Mrs. Rowley died, and her death was followed by the death of Mr. Rowley in 1861. Until 1861 Mr. S. G. Rowley lived at the old homestead. In that year he purchased the property in this city, on Chicago avenue, where B. J. Woodruff formerly lived. Mr. Woodruff bought this place when the turnpike from Detroit to Chicago was surveyed, and there built a house. There are yet apple-trees standing which he set out 50 years ago, and they still bear fruit. Since coming to this city Mr. Rowley has been a dealer in grain and farm produce, in which he has done a large business. In 1843 he was married to Miss Maria C. Macy, daughter of Captain Robert R. Macy, who came to this township in 1836. Mr. Macy had been a sea captain for over 30 years. This family dates back to Thomas Macy, who came to America in 1635, but 15 years after the landing of the Pilgrims at Plymouth Rock. Owing to religious bigotry, which he could not endure, Mr. Macy and nine others, in 1659, purchased from New York the island of Nantucket. From Thomas Macy sprang the family of that name in this country. To Mr. and Mrs. Rowley have been born a son and daughter. The son was born in 1850, and is now in business at Kalamazoo. The daughter was married in 1876 to Wallace Welch, of Pittsfield, and in the same year she died. Mr. Rowley is a member of Wyandotte Lodge I. O. O. F. of this city, and of Washtenaw Encampment No. 7, at Ann Arbor. The town of Pittsfield received its name from Mr. Rowley's father, who suggested the name "Pitt," after the celebrated statesman, and this was sub- sequently changed to its present name. In that town S. G. Rowley held a number of offices. Since coming here he has represented the first ward of this city as Al- derman. He was formerly Whig, but in 1854 united with the new party and since then has been a Republican.
