In the fall of 1853 Mr. Morse removed to Grand Rapids and became a salesman in the hardware store of Foster & Perry. After filling that position three months he opened a similar establishment at Ionia, in company with Loomis Mann. This relation existed about six months, and was terminated by Mr. Mann's becoming sole proprietor by purchase. Mr. Morse removed to Lyons, lonia County, and opened a store for the sale of groceries, which he conducted about 18 months, and changed business into that of the sale of hardware. He sold the lat- ter in 1859, and built a fine house, barn, etc., in Lyons. Jan. 1, 1864, he enlisted in Battery G., First Mich. Light Artillery, Capt. Burdick, and served until the close of the war. He joined his command at Matagorda Island, on the coast of Texas, where they were held in reserve some time. On leaving the military service he returned to Lyons and em- barked in the commission business. He came to Mt. Pleasant in the spring of 1866, where he spent some months working at the trade of a builder. He had previously obtained a claim of 320 acres in Chip- pewa Township, section 17, and, during the time named, he had 13 acres of timber chopped off and the land otherwise improved. He rented the Pres- ยท ton (now Bamber) House and managed it about two years, after which he built a house on his place and took possession of it, remaining until the spring of 1883. He placed 75 acres under improvement, which constitutes a good working farm. He was Jus- tice of the Peace in Chippewa Township four years.

John Baker, farmer and stock-raiser on section 14, Vernon, was born in Peel Co., Ontario, Feb. 16, 1828, and is a son of Michael and Catherine (Frank) Baker, natives of Ontario, and Pennsylvania German descent. The father followed farming and died in Ontario, Can., some years since. His family includ- ed eight children. Of these John was the fourth.
He lived on his father's farm until 28 years old, at which age he engaged at carpentry. This trade, which he had picked up without serving an appren- ticeship, he followed in Peel County for 12 years, when he went to Wellington County. There he took up a wild and unbroken forest track, and he led the usual life of a pioneer. In August, 1866, he came to this State and County, stopping with his wife and family for eight months at Mt. Pleasant. He then went to Vernon Township and located 80 acres where he now lives. After a few months he erected a log house and moved in his family, including seven children. He carried thither his supplies and light furniture over an Indian trail for a distance of 13 miles.
After he was fairly settled in his new home, he found he possessed only a small quantity of flour and pork, and ten cents in money. Accordingly, al- though his wife came down with a severe attack of typhoid fever, he was obliged to leave home and seek employment, that he might earn a little money. For two years he lived without any domestic animals of any kind, either for food or work. He has worked seven winters in the lumber woods of Clare, Isabella
and Gratiot Counties. He has with commendable skill and perseverance kept abreast with his neigh- bors, in making a good home. He has added 80 acres to his original purchase, and has 65 acres in cultivation. A substantial stock and grain barn and a comfortable residence are evidences of his enter- prise.
He was united in marriage, in Peel Co., Ont., March 2, 1853, with Miss Julia A. C. Sharp, daughter of John and Jane (Roswell) Sharp, natives of Eng- land and Canada and of English descent. The father was by occupation a blacksmith, and died in Ontario, January 1, 1875, aged 72 years and six months, on account of injuries received from a horse.
