TECUMSEH


Is a wealthy and flourishing village in the northeastern part of Lenawee county, on the Jackson branch of the L. S. & M. S. Ry, 67 miles from Detroit, via Manchester, and 3S from Jackson. The place was first settled in 1823, by Musgrove Evans, and was incor- porated as a village in 1837. It was the county seat of Lenawee county from its first settlement until the year of its incorporation, when the seat of justice was removed to Adrian.


The country surrounding Tecumseh is one of the most fertile portions of the State, its rich soil and the undulating nature of the land renders it peculiarly well adapted for growing winter wheat, which is one of the principal productions. Fruits of various kinds are raised in large quantities, also many superior grades of horses and live stock. The town has two good hotels, and manufacturing is well represented. There are some IS or 20 establishments of different kinds in operation, among which are 3 Hour- ing mills, 2 agricultural implement factories,
