PHILLIP F. COVELL, of Walker Township, was born in Cal- bott. Vermont, December 12, 1811, and was married May 26, 1839, to Miss Maria Abbott, of Ogden, New York, and moved to Kent County in 1845. The r children were : Addie M. Covell (now Mrs. Elliott C. Anderson, of Illinois), Emma H. Covell, Mattie E. (now Mrs. Alva Loackes, of Walker Township), Lottie A.

A view of his fine premises will be seen in another place.
L. D'OOGE was born in the Province of Zealand, February 14, 1816, where he learned the trade of painter. In 1838 he married Johanna Quintus, and in the year 1847 emigrated to America, arriving in New York, October I. At this time, being unable to speak English, and knowing but little of the customs of the country, he was unsuccessful in business for three or four years, losing what mone he brought from Zealand. He moved west in 1849, and settled in Ravenna Township, Michigan, where he . wned eighty acres o wild land. He erected a log hut, and remained there two years. Mr. D'Ooge and P. J. G. Hodenpyl owned and worked the first mill in Ravenna Township, which was not a success, owing to the newness of the country. This left Mr. D'Ooge without money, and he was obliged to accept the posi- tion of United States mail carrier from Grand Rapids to Muskegon, a dis- tance of fifty miles, going on foot, and receiving for his services $2.50 per week. In 1851, Mr. D'Ooge was met on the road by Rev. DeKeunick, Catholic priest, of Grand Rapids, who induced him to remove his family to the city, and paint the new Catholic church, on Monroe Street. He continued to work at his trade until 1852, when he engaged in the mercantile business on a small scale in a frame building built by himself, on the corner of Monroe and Division Streets ; also built a small residence, and afterwards two stores. He leased the large plat of ground for ten years, at $75 per year, and by thus improving it attracted business to that part of the town. During the crash of 1857, Mr. D'Ooge made an assignment, in order to pay his creditors dol- lar for dollar. He resumed business, and retired in 1869, and his time is now employed looking after his rents, etc. Mr. D'Ooge has five children living, viz. : Martin L., Nellie, Maria J., Jennie C., and Benjamin L. The former is now Professor of Greek in the Ann Arbor University, and well known in Michigan. A view of Mr. D'Ooge's residence can be seen on another page of this Atlas.
HENRY McARTHUR, of Oakfield Township, was born in Sum- mit County, Ohio, in 1816, and married to Rosanna Harper in October, 1837, and removed to Oakfield Township, Kent County, n October, 1846, and settled on the land where he now resides, and has opened and made a fine farm. Mr. and Mrs. McArthur have had four children born to them, as follows : Almira, January 31, 1839 ; Orange, August 12, 1842 ; Clinton H., January 5, 1852, and Ella A., October 20, 1854, all living except Clinton A., who died in infancy. Mr. McArthur has filled several offices of trust in the town, and is the present Supervisor. In early days he was engaged in school teaching, and many persons in this and adjacent towns owe much of their advancement to his early instruction.
SILAS D. HORTON, of Oakfield, was born in Orange County, New York, in 1828, and came to his present home in 1849, and was married to Miss Phoebe Rowley, January 1, 1856. They have had the following children : Willis E., born October 24, 1856 ; Ella, December 15, 1860 Edwin, December 6, 1862 ; Mary S., December 29, 1865 ; John B., August I, 1868, and Jennie Horton, born March 2, 1870. Mrs. Horton died of con- sumption, June 19, 1874. A view of Mr. H.'s residence will be found else- where.
HENRY C. HOGADONE, of Walker Township, was born in Canada, in 1823, and removed to Walker Township, Kent County, in 1839. Mrs. Hogadone, formerly Miss Phoebe J. Phillips, was born in 1827, and came to Kent County in 1844, and was married in 1851. They have the fol- lowing children, to wit : James H., Edward D., Nella L., Rena P., and John B. Hogadone. Mr. H. was one of the pioneers, and found but little in his neighborhood except wolves and Indians, but he has lived to see the savage wilderness transformed to fruitful fields all around him.
