Charles W. Gregg.


CHARLES W. GREGG was born in Pekin, Niagara County, N. Y., December 12, 1852, and came to Mich- igan with his parents in 1858, settled in Dansville, Ingham County. He was educated in the schools at Dansville, and graduated from Devlin's Business Col- lege at Bay City. He then went to Jackson, and in 1873 engaged with the Bor- tree Manufacturing Com- pany and remained in their employment for eighteen years. He started in as of- fice boy and worked along until he became manager of the concern. In 1890 he purchased the Stowell House, at that time a new hotel in Jackson, which he

made very successful and popular. In 1898 he became the pro- prietor of the Bailey House, in Ionia, and in 1901 he came to Adrian and purchased the Lawrence House. Mr. Gregg has proved to be a very popular landlord and successful business man. In coming to Adrian the name of the hotel was changed, after being known for nearly forty year as the Lawrence House, to the Hotel Gregg, and the patronage has been phenomenally good under Mr. Gregg's man- agement. He is a careful and conserv- ative business man, having never made a failure in his busi- ness career. Mr. Gregg is the son of William and Judy (Cooper) Gregg, na- tives of New York, 4 who came to Michi- gan in 1858. Wil- liam Gregg was a soldier in the great Rebellion, enlisting in Company E. 26th Michigan Infantry, The Hotel Gregg. in 1861, and served three years and seventy days. He died in Mason, Mich., September 14, 1900, aged 72 years. Mrs. Judy Gregg still lives (1903) in Ma- son. October 21, 1875, Charles W. Gregg married Miss Alpha Higgins, daughter of Nelson and Lucy A. Higgins, of Char- lotte, Mich., and they have one son, Walter Charles, born in Jackson, Mich., September 26, 1878, married Miss Luella Hennessey, of Jackson, Mich., October 25, 1898. He is interested in the hotel business with his father, and gives his entire attention to it. Mrs. Alpha Gregg's father, Nelson Higgins, was born in London, Eng- land, in 1818, came to America when he was sixteen years old, and settled in London, Canada. In 1844 he married Miss Lucy A. Harrington, and six children were born. Mr. Higgins died in Char- lotte, Mich., November 14, 1901. Mrs. Lucy A. Higgins was born in Ann Arbor, Mich., in 1829, and was the daughter of Joseph and Mary (Gee) Harrington, who were among the first settlers of Ann Arbor. Mrs. Higgins is still living (1903) in Charlotte, Mich. The fine hotel property located on the corner of Maumee and Winter streets, in Adrian, now known as Hotel Gregg, is the legal and nat- ural descendant of the old Michigan Exchange, the first public house and the first frame building erected in Adrian. In the sum- mer of 1828 Isaac Dean, who was the father-in-law of Addison J. Comstock, the first settler and founder of Adrian, built a good-sized frame building on the present site of the Hotel Gregg, and chris-

tened it the Michigan Exchange. The house was formally opened July 4, 1828, with a dance in the ball room of the second story. Mr. Dean kept the house for about ten years, when he rented it, and after- wards sold it to George C. Knight. August 28, 1848, he sold the property to Eber Adams, of Rochester, N. Y., the consideration be- ing $5,500. Mr. Adams took immediate possession of the house, and became one of the most popular and widely known landlords in Southern Michigan. That was in the days of the old stage coach and it was no uncommon occurrence to witness the arrival of ten or fifteen stages in one day. Mr. Adams continued to keep the house until February 19, 1856, when he sold it to James Brackett, of Roch- ester, N. Y., consideration, $9,000. Mr. Brackett was well off and a man of enterprise, having faith enough in the future of Adrian to make a proposition to the citizens that seemed to meet with general approval. There was a feeling that the old hotel did not meet the requirements of the town, and that it was time to have a new and modern hostlery in Adrian. It was proposed to give a bonus to Mr. Brackett, and at a meeting a paper was drawn by the late Judge F. C. Beaman. The paper was dated Adrian, February 17, 1859, and following are the subscriptions to the bonus :

There was also another condition to the agreement, of which there is only a portion in existence, but there is enough to show what it was, it seems to be a resolution passed by a meeting, as fol- lows :


" Resolved, That we the undersigned agree and hereby bind ourselves to sell 130 tickets at ten dollars each for a festival to be given on the opening of the new Exchange, to be built by James Brackett within the present year on the site of the old Exchange, the money arising from the sale of tickets as above to be paid to said Brackett and the keeper of the new house."


The opening took place in the winter of 1859-60 and it was a red letter day in Adrian. The banquet and dancing party was a

grand affair, the elite of the city being in attendance. The late Colonel Dwight A. Woodbury was the first landlord of this new house, and continued as such until 1862, when he entered the army as Colonel of the Fourth Michigan Infantry. Upon Colonel Wood- bury's departure Mr. Brackett brought his family to Adrian, and re- mained until the following spring. April 1, 1863, Willis T. Law- rence purchased the property of Mr. Brackett and immediately took possession. During the next thirty-seven years he owned the house, naming it the Lawrence House, making many changes and improve- ments and building the large addition on the north. In November, 1890, Mr. Lawrence sold to Col. O. H. Green, of Boston, Mass. April 30, 1891, Col. Green sold to Charles J. Patch, of Boston, and May 30. 1893, Mr. Patch sold to Horace F. Wyatt. June 1, 1901, Mr. Wyatt sold the entire property to the present owner and popular landlord, Charles W. Gregg, who has thoroughly overhauled and refurnished the building, and it is now one of the very best two dollar a day houses in Michigan. It is supplied with all modern conveniences, with steam heat and electric lights in all of its one hundred rooms.


MICHIGAN - EXCHANGE


The above engraving shows the old Michigan Exchange, erected in 1828 by Isaac Dean. This was the first framed building erected in Adrian, and also the first hotel, standing on the site of the present Hotel Gregg. This house became a popular public resort, and for over thirty years stood as a land-mark of pioneer days. It sheltered many men of note, among the most prominent, perhaps, was the Hon. Daniel Webster, of Massachusetts, in 1838, the Hon. Lewis Cass; and Horace Greeley greeted his admirers from the balcony in 1857. The fine pair of horses in the foreground shows a team owned by Eber Adams, who had an ad- miration for good horses.

THOMAS MEASURES, 2d, was born in Deeping, St. James, Lincolnshire, England, January 4, 1840. His father, Thomas Meas- ures, 1st, was born in the same place, in 1794. He always lived there, and raised a family of thirteen children. He married Miss Mary Tansley, who was also born in Deeping, St. James, in 1796, and died there in 1868. Thomas Measures, 2d, subject of this sketch, lived with his parents until he was fourteen years old, when he was indentured to the trade of blacksmith and machinist. He served seven years to learn the trade, and after following it for a few years, in 1861 he started in business for himself in Deeping, St. James. He was quite successful in his business venture, and carried it on until 1871, when he sold out, came to the United States, and settled at Lyons, Ohio. He remained in Lyons four years, when, after making a tour of Texas, he returned and started in bus- iness at Seward, Ohio. In 1884 he purchased a farm on Section 29, in Ogden. This was then a new farm and was most of the year covered with water, but at this time there is not a better or more productive piece of land in Michigan. He has erected good buildings and has it under perfect subjection. He has twice been a candidate for member of the Legislature. November 3, 1862, Thomas Measures, 2d, married Miss Sophia Langley, daughter of William and Ann (Ball) Langley, of Wadenhoe, Northamptonshire, England, and they have five children, as follows: Henry, born in Deeping, St. James, England, January 29, 1864, married Emma Blair, and resides at Ai, Fulton County, Ohio; William, born same place, August 12, 1865, married Rosa Young, of Ogden, and resides at Coleman, Mich .; Mary Ann, born same place, May 6, 1867, mar .. ried A. J. Pence, of Ogden Centre; George, born same place, May 29, 1869, married Ida Ross, of Ogden, and resides in Ogden; John Thomas, born at Lyons, Ohio, November 29, 1871, married Miss Blanche Locke, and resides in Ogden. Mrs. Sophia (Langley) Measures, was born at Wadenhoe, England, May 14, 1844. Her father always followed farming, and was on one farm all his life as child, boy and overseer. He died at the age of 76 years. Her mother was a native of Winnick, Huntingtonshire, and died at the age of 74 years. Mr. Measures has a bit of history relating to his christening and the church where it occurred. The church has stood for about 700 years, and there is much interesting history con- nected with it:

GEORGE P. ROBERTSON was born in Preston County, W. Va., March 15, 1835. His father, James Robertson, was born October 22, 1808. [For the history of the Robertson family, see James Rob- ertson's record in this volume. ] George P. Robertson, subject of this sketch, lived in West Virginia until the spring of 1844, when he removed with his parents to Canaan, Wayne County, Ohio. The family lived there for some time, when a removal was made to Mil- ton township, in the same county. After a residence there of about three years, Mr. Robertson purchased a piece of wood land in La- fayette, Medina County. Here the family resided until 1854, when still another move was made, this time to Ogden, this county, where a large tract of land was purchased on Sections 15 and 22. Some of this land was chopped over and quite a clearing been made. But with a family of seven boys a good farm was soon worked out. Our subject stayed at home until he was twenty-one. In 1855, immedi- ately after gaining his majority, he purchased forty acres on Sec- tion 16, in Ogden. In fourteen years from that time he owned one hundred and twenty acres of finely cleared and well-drained land, with good house and two barns, fully stocked and out of debt. Since that time he has enjoyed life and exerted a wholesome influ- ence in the neighborhood. His enjoyment was in improving his

home and making it comfortable and attractive for his family and friends. He still owns this farm in Ogden, but resides in the city of Adrian, where he fills an important position with the Page Woven Wire Fence Company. In politics Mr. Robertson has always been a Republican and a zealous supporter of all party measures. He is liberal in his religious views and defends and supports all good endeavors. June 12, 1865, George P. Robertson married Miss Mary F. Rich- ardson, daughter of John and Lucy (Rice) Richardson, of Ogden, and they have had four children, as follows: Pearlett A., born May 27, 1866, married Dr. W. E. Scriber, has three children and resides in Detroit; Alice E., born No- vember 14, 1868, married W. B. Sheffield, who was killed in a railroad accident in March, 1899. She has four children, and lives in Adrian ; Cora B., born April 22, 1870, married John W. Rohloff, and resides in Ogden; Leslie B., born George P. Robertson. June 18, 1872, married Miss Bertha Page and resides in Adrian. Mrs. Mary (Richard- son) Robertson was born in Loraine County, Ohio, June 20, 1847. Her father, was a native of New York, and was born in Oswego, May 15, 1801. He came to Michigan and set- tled in Ogden, this county, in 1850, where he died February 16, 1887. He was twice mar- ried, his first wife being Mary Marion, who died in Richland County, Ohio. He afterwards married Miss Lucy Rice, and they had nine children, Mrs. Robertson being the oldest. Mrs. Lucy (Rice) Richardson was born in Loraine, Ohio, in May, 1826, and now resides in Adrian.

HON. ALVAH G. STONE was born in Charlton, Worcester County, Mass., March 2, 1852. Mr. Stone came of Revolutionary stock on the paternal side, his great-grandfather being one of the famous minute men, and afterward a captain in the Continental Army. Mr. Stone's mother, whose maiden name was Sarah Ward, was a direct descendant of General Artemus Ward, the first com- mander of the American army. Mr. Stone's early boyhood was spent among the Massachusetts hills and in the township of Me-

dina, this county, where his grandfather, Captain N. S. Stone, and his sons, Nahum and Charles, and his daughter Nancy, came at an early date, they being among the first settlers in the Bean Creek Valley. Of this family, Nahum and Charles, after clearing up farms and raising families in Medina, removed to Olivet, in this State, where Charles died in 1887, and Nahum, following his children ever westward, still lives at the advanced age of 93 in Tacoma, State of Washington. The daughter, Nancy, married Clark Per- kins, also a New England man, and resided in Adrian until the death of Mr. Perkins in 1866. His widow, now Mrs. Collins, resides with Mr. Stone in Medina. Mr. Perkins will be remembered by the more elderly citizens of Adrian as a prominent building contractor and mason of the early sixties. The masonic temple, the Brackett House, now Hotel Gregg, the Methodist Protestant church, and


406

many other buildings being monuments of his skill as a builder. Gardner, the third son, father of the subject of this sketch, was the only one to remain in the East. In 1876, Mr. Stone was united in marriage to Miss Lucy J. Clark, of Millis, Norfolk County, Mass. Miss Clark was a member of one of the oldest families in New Eng- land, eight generations of her family residing on one farm about 17 miles from Boston, the original deed of which came from a king of England, and recites in its bounds that on the west it "borders on the wilderness." Soon after this marriage Mr. and Mrs. Stone came to Michigan, locating at Medina, and began the avocation of farm- ing, first renting a farm and afterward purchasing the farm just south of Medina village. This family is composed of three sons: E. Stacey, who resides on the farm; Stanley C., who is with the Thompson Banking Company, of Hudson, and Harry G., who is a student at the Michigan Agricultural College. Mr. Stone has always been a Republican in politics, and has for many years taken an active part in public affairs, holding numerous offices of public trust, among which are School Inspector, Justice of the Peace and Member of the Legislature from the Second District of Lenawee, which office he now holds. Among the more important of Mr. Stone's official acts is the joint authorship of the famous "Colby- Stone Primary Election Bill," and the "County Normal Training Bill," of which much is expected in the future. Mr. Stone is also prominently mentioned as a candidate for the office of State Land Commissioner. Mr. and Mrs. Stone are members of the Baptist church at Medina, and in common with many other families of the county, have done their little part religiously, socially and financially, of making Lenawee one of the grandest counties in the State.
