In the years of 1853 and 1854. I built a frame house, 14x22, and, in 1855. a barn, 20x30 feet, on my land on Lot 2. Sec. 6, Town 12. Range 9. A little east of these buildings, I built, in 1858, a convenient, solid brick house, two stories high above ground, and basement and cellars below. This building is 32x32 feet, with wing 20x22 feet. Since August, 1858, we have resided in this house.

Since 1854, I have planted a great many fruit trees, vines, ornamental trees and shrubbery, and we have had, since 1858, most every year plenty of apples. grapes, berries, etc. In 1869, I built, on Cook street. in the city of Portage, a brick store, twenty-two feet wide hy seventy-five feet long, two stories high, with cellar under the whole building. In 1875, I built an addition of forty feet in length thereto, making the store now 115 feet long, now rented to Parry & Muir, who keep a large dry-goods establishment. I have been several times Assessor of the city of Portage, and have been of late years one of the city School Commissioners and County Supervisor of the Fifth Ward, and been elected to the last named offices again. this spring of 1880.

Dear reader, God has blessed all our family (excepting the sickness and death of one of our children) since our commencement, and onward till now with good health and plenty, thank God !
