(1892) JAMES M. VAN TASSEL, Probate Judge of Tuscola County, was born in Huron County, Ohio, September 22, 1844, and is the son of Otis H. and Sara J. (Waldron) Van Tassel, both natives of New York. The childhood days of our subject were mostly passed in the village of East Townsend, where he received a good common-school education. During his youth the shadow of war hovered over our nation and scarcely had he attained manhood when the threatened calamity fell upon the country. The Rebellion awakened all the patriotism of Judge Van Tassel's nature, and before he was twenty years old, he enlisted November 23, 1863, in Company B, Third Ohio Cavalry, which became an integral part of the Army of the Cumberland. The Judge participated in all the engagements of his regiment until he was wounded August 20, 1864, on Kilpatrick's raid around Atlanta, a ball striking him directly between the eyes and destroying one eye, as it had to be removed in order to get the ball which had glanced in behind. He was granted a furlough of ninety days which he passed at home, returning to the hospital at Cincinnati. On April 11, 1865 he was honorably discharged at Camp Denison, and returned to Huron County, with a record of which he and his might well be proud. In the fall of 1865 he went to West Virginia, but only sojourned there about six months, returning thence to Huron County. Judge Van Tassel dates his arrival in Michigan from 1868 and he first located in Lapeer County, where he operated as a farmer. Next he removed to Tuscola County and for a short, period lived in Kingston, then returned to the Buckeye State but after passing one year there, he located permanently in Tuscola County. During his residence in Lapeer County he was married September 22, 1868, to Miss Etta Van Tassel, the daughter of Henry H. and Sophia (Palmer) Van Tassel. Mrs. Van Tassel was born in the State of New York and when quite young accompanied her parents to Michigan, where she grew to womanhood under the parental roof. The Judge and his estimable wife are the parents of four children, viz: J. Henry, who was born April 2, 1872; Otis M., August 19, 1875; Claude E., July 13, 1877; and Bertha, May 21, 1883. The eldest son was graduated from the Caro High School with the Class of '91 and contemplates taking a law course in the State University at Ann Arbor. Officially, the Judge has served the community in various ways. For four years he was Clerk of Kingston Township, and also served as Postmaster in Kingston, then called Newberry, about seven years—from 1872 to 1879. At that time he was engaged in the mercantile business. In 1884 he was elected County Treasurer and held the position two terms until, in 1888, he was elected Probate Judge. Socially he is a member of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, in which he is District Deputy. As might naturally be expected, he is closely connected with the Grand Army of the Republic, of which he is now Past Commander, and has held various offices in the encampment. His character is unimpeachable and the interest he has taken at all times in public enterprises of an educational or moral value, stamps him as a man of excellent judgment and great intelligence. Since taking up his residence in Caro, by his upright, honorable course he has proved a great addition to its citizenship, and has become thoroughly identified with its interests. His judicial ability is of a superior order and his decisions show a well-balanced intellect. His share in the success of the Union cause in the late war was no inconsiderable one and his name will ever be held in affectionate remembrance by the people of Caro and the residents of Michigan, wherever patriotism is known.

(1892) WESLEY CASE. For nearly a decade this gentleman has been one of the prominent farmers in Millington Township, Tuscola County, where he resides upon a beautiful tract of eighty acres, much of which he has cleared and improved. He is a native of New Jersey and was born May 11, 1845. His father, Moses Case, married Maria Edmonson, a daughter of Joseph Edmonson, a native of England, and an early settler in New Jersey, where both the parents of our subject were born and reared. Four sons and three daughters constituted their household and the parents became early settlers in Oakland County, where they died—the father in 1879, and the mother in 1887. They followed farming throughout life and in it attained a good degree of success. At the age of six years Wesley Case came to Oakland County, where he grew to manhood and married Mary E. Sherwood, daughter of Erasmus E. Sherwood, a Vermonter and a pioneer of Oakland County, to which he came when a young man with his parents. He was there married to Nancy Scott, a native of Ireland, and to them were born one son and four daughters. Mr. Sherwood was a farmer, and in 1860 was elected County Treasurer and received his re-election in 1882, serving four years in all. His politics were in accord with the platform of the Republican party, and he held various township offices. He died in 1837, and his good wife is still living at the age of sixty-four. The four children born to our subject and his wife were Lena A., Elmer A., Eda M. and Ray J., and all are still beneath the parental roof. Mr. Case pursued farming while in Oakland County, and does so still. He is a member of Lodge No. 73, K. O. T. M., Elliot Tent, at Otter Lake. He is a Republican and has been so throughout life, and has served as Justice of the Peace for six years.

(1892) BENONI BULLOCK. The vast amount of labor that has been expended in developing this State and especially that portion which we have now under consideration— Lapeer County—to its present beautiful condition, cannot well be realized, much less described, by one who has not been an actual participant in the work. The work has been vast and the workers are entitled to the esteem and honor of those who are enjoying the advantages which have been the natural and inevitable result. The biographical writer is always pleased to record the history of such an one, even though only a simple statement of fact can be given. He whose name heads this sketch, and whose farm was located on sections 26 and 27, Elba Township, Lapeer County, from 1850 to the time of his death in 1864, was one of the most energetic and ambitious workers in this portion of the State. During that time he developed a farm of one hundred and fifty-five acres of land and put on it all the buildings which now there stand, with the exception of a very few changes made by his son, Carlos A. Mr. Bullock was born in Rensselaer County, N. Y., July 30, 1830, and his parents were Benoni and Leah Bullock. They died while he was yet a child. He made his home with his brother James, and came with him to Lapeer County, Mich., in 1839. He reached the years of maturity in this county and received but a meagre education in the common schools and grew up with the greatest knowledge of the best way in which to do hard work. Our subject was married, in 1850, to Miss Lorinda, daughter of Chauncy Merwin, one of the county's pioneers. From this union came two sons—Dellman and Carlos A. The former died early in life, at the age of twenty-one years, while the second is a resident on the old homestead. He was born in 1855, and was reared on his father's farm and educated in the common schools of the county. The lady to whom the comforts and happiness of the domestic life of Carlos Bullock are due, became his wife December 31, 1874. She was at the time a resident of Hadley and by name Nellie E. Little. Her parents, Albert S. and Elizabeth (Drumendike) Little, were also natives of the Empire State. Mr. and Mrs. Bullock have been blessed by the advent into the family of six children, five of whom are still living: Benoni A., Motier C., Dillman C., Norton and Martha L. The son is, like his father, a public-spirited farmer and is a thorough-going young man. He and his wife, with a part of their children, are members of the Methodist Episcopal Church. He has added to the farm left by his father until it now comprises two hundred and fifty-three acres. The family holds a high position in the locality and the worth of both father and son is recognized by all who know them. Our subject was a prominent Democrat in Elba Township and during a great number of years was Town Treasurer.

(1892) NATHANIEL N.GREENE. Among the most popular citizens and energetic farmers of Hadley Township, Lapeer County, is Mr. Greene, whose nativity was in St. Lawrence County, N. Y., in 1843, and who came that same year with his parents, Nathan and Martha (Cramton) Greene, to Michigan. His father was born at Shoreham, Vt., in 1820, and was one of a family of nine children, all of whom grew to maturity, and migrated to the Wolverine State at about the same time, thus making a notable and valuable addition to the population of this State, as they brought with them those sterling qualities of habit, influence and character, which mark the good old families of the Green Mountain State. The paternal grandfather of our subject, whose name was also Nathan Greene, was likewise a native of Vermont, and a drummer in the War of 1812. Tradition has it that this name has been handed down from generation to generation, from the first families of Greenes who came to this country, and the vocation of a farmer has also come with it, it has been an agricultural family all the way down the line. Our subject grew to manhood in Hadley Township, and had not reached his majority when his patriotic impulses led him to join the Union Army, enlisting in Company H, Ninth Michigan Cavalry, and being assigned to the Army of the Cumberland. He took part in the following important engagements: Knoxville, Cynthiana, Atlanta, Waynesboro, Aiken, S. C, Bentonville, N. C. He was captured at Camp Dick Robinson, Ky., July 5, 1864, but made his escape an hour later. The only wound worth speaking of was from a saber point received in his shoulder at Aiken. He was honorably discharged in July, 1865, and at once came home to Michigan. Mr. Greene's regiment was in the last skirmishing which was done with Johnston's army, and they had the distinction of firing the last shots. He was made Sergeant in 1864, and held this office until the close of the war, discharging his duties faithfully. The father of our subject enlisted in the First Michigan Cavalry, serving sixteen months. In 1867, Mr. Greene was married to Alzina Heath, daughter of James and Catherine (Murdaugh) Heath, of Canada, and to this union were born six children: Lucy, now the wife of Edgar Howe; Jesse, Clarence, Archer and Arthur (twins) and Jennie;. The mother of this household was called from this happy home in February, 1890, and Mr. Greene has now married Miss Millie Frazier. She is a daughter of William and Sarah (Stephenson) Frazier. He of whom we write owns an excellent farm of one hundred acres, and upon it he has placed good buildings. Its prosperous condition speaks well for the hand of the manager, and its excellent crops prove not only the wealth of the soil, but the thoroughness of its culture. His political preferences have made him a life-long Republican. He is deeply interested in all associations which tend to forward the interests of the farming community, and is a life member of the Hadley Agricultural and Horticultural Societies.

(1892) CHARLES A. HUMES. The good farm located on section 20, Juniata Township, Tuscola County, is owned by him whose name appears above, who is one of the young and successful farmers of this locality. He is the owner of eighty acres of fine land, which is well improved with a good residence, barns, stock and all that pertains to a modern farm. He is the son of Alex and Eliza (Miller) Humes, both natives of the Nutmeg State. The former was born in 1837, and lived in his native State until 1858, and then located in Tuscola Township, where he purchased eighty acres which is now owned by our subject. On coming here, our subject's father found the land wild and entirely uncultivated. This he cleared and improved. His marriage was blest by the advent of eight children, all of whom are living. They are: Edward, who married Myrtie Johnson and lives in this township; Charles A., of whom we write; Mary, Mrs. Axford Stilson; Addie, Mrs. L. H. Moore; William, who married Eva Hodge and resides on the homestead; Colon still makes his home with his parents; Daniel is attending school at Vassar; Birdie also attends school. The subject of this sketch is the second in order of birth of his family and was born February 13, 1860. He was reared on a farm and remained with his father until twenty-two years of age. He attended the district school of the vicinity and the High School of Watrousville. May 3, 1881, he was happily married to Miss Minnie Loss, a daughter of William Loss. Her parents were pioneers in this section of Michigan. The union of our subject and his wife was blest by the birth of one daughter—Lola L. who was born May 24, 1882. She is at home with her parents at their pleasant farm. His first wife died and he was again married, May 3, 1890, to Miss Viola Chamberlain. After his marriage Mr. Humes purchased eighty acres of land, where he now lives, and has since devoted himself to mixed farming. He has built a very pleasant home and the farm, which is all cleared with the exception of thirty acres, is all in a high state of cultivation. Politically he is a Republican. Mrs. Humes is a gentle, bright-spirited lady, whose tenderness and counsel are of inestimable worth to her husband.

(1892) CAPT. EVERT W. LAWRENCE, a farmer residing on section 31, Almont Township, is one of the influential citizens of Lapeer County. He was born in Catskill Township, Greene County, N. Y., January 9, 1799, and was the son of Merchant and Sarah (Wynkoop) Lawrence. His father was a soldier in the War of 1812 and was born in Connecticut. He was of English ancestry while our subject's mother was from Holland. Our subject's paternal grandfather, Uriah Lawrence, was killed in the Revolutionary War and the maternal grandfather, Hezekiah Wynkoop, was also a soldier in the Revolutionary War and Capt. Lawrence well remembers that his father took part in the defense of Sackett's Harbor. The subject of our sketch was reared upon a farm and had the most meager chances for an education, but on attaining his majority he was elected Constable and as the position required more education than he had, he began studying and was soon fitted for practical work of that kind. At the age of twenty-four he was made captain of a uniformed company and received his commission from Gov. DeWitt Clinton. He served as Captain for about five years and then resigned his commission. He still, however, has the commission. Our subject is the third in a family of eleven children, eight of whom grew up and became heads of families. Our subject was married in January, 1827. He first lived for a short time in Canada and then came to Michigan in 1838-39 and located at Almont, his family being brought hither with a horse team. The first purchase of land comprised forty acres the most of which he had to go in debt for. His brother-in-law, William F. Myers was security so that he did not have to give a mortgage. He built a log cabin and cleared off the farm, not attempting to put in a crop the first year and making his living by working out for others; the supply of meat was easily obtained by hunting, game being plentiful at that time. In his political views Capt. Lawrence was a Democrat and voted first for Jackson, helping to reelect him, but in 1840 he cast his vote for Harrison and in 1888 voted for the grandson. He has had nine children, of whom four daughters and one son are now living: Adaline the eldest lives in Maryland and is the wife of John Wiley; Caroline married Emery Ferguson; Matilda is the wife of M. D. Closson and lives on the homestead, taking care of her father; Harriet lives in Philadelphia and is the wife of a Mr. Lutz; Lamira married S. C. Williams and lives in Virginia; Nelson makes his home in Australia. Capt. Lawrence at first owned but forty acres of land and although he reared a good-sized family, when a fine farm of one hundred and sixty acres of land was offered for sale at $4,000, he purchased it, asking for only one year in which to complete the payment. Outside of his farming interests he has handled considerable pine lands and has made some money from this. He is a member of the Congregational Church and has helped to build two edifices in Almont. In connection with this sketch the reader will notice a lithographic portrait of Capt. Lawrence.

(1892) JAMES A. TROTTER, proprietor and editor of the Tuscola County Pioneer, was born March 1, 1852, in Schoharie County, N. Y., and is the son of Alex and Phoebe Trotter. The father was a minister in the Presbyterian church and resided upon a farm in Schoharie County. In 1863 he removed to Vassar, this State, and the education which our subject had commenced in the public schools of Schoharie, was supplemented by a thorough course of study in the Union School here. In 1869, when he was about seventeen years old, his father purchased the Tuscola County Pioneer, and together with James and William, a younger brother, began the publication of that journal. In 1875 the sons purchased the father's interest and two years later James A. bought out his brother's interest, since which time he has been sole editor and proprietor. His work is being recognized as potent in advancing all movements in which the Pioneer is interested and molding in a large degree the opinions of the people among whom it is circulated. Mr. Trotter is a man of good intentions, energetic in the pursuit of that to which he sets his hand, and in pursuing his course in a peaceable manner. The paper has a good circulation in the county and in connection with it the proprietor has a job office from which he turns out an excellent class of work. Mr. Trotter possesses more than ordinary force of character, guided by right principles and seconded by clear discernment, wise caution and excellent business capacity. These make him influential in the work of further developing the city where he has made his home. From 1876 until 1880 he was Clerk of the village of Vassar, and for four years (1884-88) was a member of the Common Council. His interest in educational affairs is great and for the past six years he has served as a member of the Board of Education, and Secretary of the same for six years. One of the successful fair organizations in the State is the Tuscola County Agricultural Society and its success is due in no small measure to the unremitting exertions of Mr. Trotter, who has been its efficient Secretary since 1888. For many years he has been identified with the Masonic fraternity and since 1879 has served almost continuously as Master of the Vassar Lodge. In politics he is aggressively Republican and has been a member of the Republican County Committee for the last six years. In 1877 Mr. Trotter was united in marriage with Miss Mamie Meehan, whose father, Frank Meehan, was one of the first settlers in Vassar, where he engaged in the manufacture of agricultural implements. Mrs. Trotter was born in East Saginaw and under the parental roof was trained to womanhood, learning lessons of practical value in the successful management of a home. She is an accomplished and cultured lady, a pleasing conversationalist and a charming hostess, whose noble qualities have won for her many warm friends.

(1892) GILMAN O. GRAVES, whose fine farm is to be seen in Oregon Township, Lapeer County, has his home in his native county, and was born December 18, 1861. He is a true Wolverine, as was his father also, Amos Graves having his nativity here, being born June 30, 1828, in Macomb County, while the mother, Ester Chapel, was born in Oakland County. They came to Lapeer County thirty years ago, their little family of five children, four of whom are still in this life, were all born here. He of whom we write passed his boyhood days upon the farm where he is now living, and he has ever made his place of residence and work, his education being entirely gained within the boundaries of this county. Upon reaching manhood he devoted himself to agriculture, and has made it his work so far through life, and in it is having good success. G. O. Graves purchased of his father in 1888 the home farm consisting of eighty acres, all of which is well improved and in so prosperous a condition as to attract the eye of the passerby by its evidences of thrift and thorough cultivation. The residence is a good one, and the well-arranged barns are a great advantage to the farm. The dimensions of the large barn are 32x74 feet, the next 26x36, and the smallest 16x24. Our subject was united in marriage December 18, 1884, with Clara Pike, a lady of this county, and a daughter of O. B. and Mary (Easton) Pike. To them has been born two daughters: Edith M., who came to brighten their home February 25, 1889; and Lulu N., now deceased. The office of School Inspector has been filled by Mr. Graves during two terms, and he has been Township Clerk for three years. The political sympathies of Mr. Graves have brought him in line with those whose views are expressed in the platform and declarations of the Democratic party, and while he is earnestly devoted to the success of that body, he is not a politician in any sense of the word, as he prefers the quiet of home life and the vocation of a farmer to the excitement of the political field. He is a general farmer and stock-raiser, and has made a good success of his business, and has, as he merits, the esteem of his neighbors.

He is a son of Clinton H. and Caroline (Warner) Beebe, both natives of New York. Our subject is one of nine children born to his parents, there having been seven sons and two daughters. He was a goldsmith by trade, but devoted himself throughout the greater portion of his life to farming, making his trade an accessory to his other work. In 1843 the father of our subject came to Lapeer County, and settled on a farm of forty acres which he cultivated for a number of years. Thence he removed to Saginaw County, and finally located in Tuscola County, settling upon a farm in Arbela Township, where he died in 1879. He was one of the pioneers of Lapeer County, and was one of the very first to settle in Birch Run Township, Saginaw County. Both he and his wife were devoted Methodists in their religious convictions. The mother of our subject is still hale and hearty at the age of ninety years, and lives in a house adjoining our subject. The original of our sketch was but two years of age when brought by his parents to the Wolverine State. He resided at home until reaching his majority, when he enlisted in Company E, Seventh Michigan Infantry, in 1861, and served until the fall of 1863, when he received his honorable discharge. He was in the battle of Ball's Bluff, was taken sick and sent to the hospital, being there until his discharge. He was cook for the company for eighteen months. He came home and in about one year, May 14, 1865, was married to Miss Fanny Hadstate, a daughter of Hiram Hadstate, of Birch Run. He was an early settler in the township, and still resides there. His wife died in the summer of 1891. He is a farmer and combines with this the trades of blacksmith and gunsmith.

(1892) JOHN HAAS, who resides on section 26, Fremont Township, Tuscola County, was born in 1881, [sic] in the lower country of Switzerland. He is a son of Jacob and Catherine Haas, and his father, who was born in Switzerland in the year 1794, was the son of an officer of that country who was a German by birth. Jacob Haas was one of nine children, six of whom served in the army under Napoleon I, and three of them fell in those wars. He himself entered the army at the age of fifteen years as a private, and when he received his discharge after a service of eleven years he had the rank of Brigadier-General, having been raised to this high official position as a reward for notable instances of bravery. After retiring from the army Gen. Haas was married in 1818 to Catherine, daughter of Henry Meyer, of Switzerland, and to them were born five children—Barbara (wife of John Foster), Jacob; Nicholas, deceased; Susan and John. After establishing a family the General took a position in a hardware store, which he was soon compelled to leave by some act of the new Government. He then applied to the old Government and was placed upon the police force, and when he came to die, which was in November, 1866, he was buried by the corps of police with high honors, being the oldest and first of the police force. Our subject began life for himself at the age of fourteen years, taking up an apprenticeship at mechanics, and remained in that position ten years, after which he entered the St. Chrishona school and studied for the ministry and was sent by that Evangelical mission society, in 1856, as a missionary to the west coast of Africa, where he remained until 1861. According to«the custom of the church of his native country they sent him a wife to join him in Africa and in 1859 she arrived, being Miss Eliza Stall. Mr. Haas has an excellent memory of his experience on the dark continent, and much of it is as interesting as it is startling. On his return to Switzerland in 1861 our subject began preparations to sail for America and landed in New York the following year, coming directly to Michigan, locating in Allegan County. He afterward removed to Bay City, and later to Adrian, Owosso County, remaining for a few years in each and finally, in 1877, came to Tuscola County, establishing himself at his present home. On first coming to America he began the work of the ministry in the Lutheran Church, continuing to preach until 1882, at which time he was compelled to give up his work as the great fire of 1881 had affected his eyes seriously. From that time to the present date (1891) he has given his whole attention to farming. To the Rev. Mr. Haas and his first wife were granted seven children, only two of whom have passed over the dark river to the better land. His eldest, Dora, is now the wife of Warren Von Walthausen. The other surviving children are: George, Fred, Catherine and Pauline. After the death of the first wife in 1874, our subject was again married to Mary Krauss, daughter of John and Barbara Krauss, and their children number eight, as follows: Emma, Ernest, Clara, Mary, Minnie, Lillie, Paul and John. Our subject has held many of the local offices of the township, has been School Ditor [sic] since 1878, and is at present Justice of the Peace. Although not a naturalized citizen of the United States he took an active part in raising volunteers for the army during the Civil War. His influence throughout his life here as well as abroad has been ever for good and has been a strong argument for the truths which he believes and professes.

His father, David Trisch, is a Pennsylvanian by birth and his natal year was 1797. He led the life of a farmer and in 1817 was married to Sarah McDonald, daughter of John McDonald. Henry Trisch, the paternal grandfather of our subject, was born in Germany. Soon after marriage the parents of our subject came to Ohio, in 1818, and there they resided until 1852, when they removed to DeKalb, Ind., which continued their home until the death of the father in 1860. To this worthy couple were born six children of whom our subject is the eldest. The others are: David, Jr., who lives in Wells County, Ind.; Rosanna, the wife of Charles Corbin, of DeKalb County, Ind.; Julia A., who married Jacob Cline of the same county; Rebecca, deceased, who was the wife of Stephen Tift, of Branch County, Mich.; Elizabeth, deceased, who married John Bickle, of DeKalb County, Ind. It was about the year 1843 when Mr. Trisch began to learn the carpenter's trade, and he worked at it a number of years, after which he devoted himself more fully to farming, although he has at different times resumed his trade. He remained with his parents in Indiana through their lifetime, and in 1865 came to the place where he now resides. He was married in 1843 to Martha J. Caston, daughter of Henry and Nancy Caston, of Ohio, who originally came from Pennsylvania. Seven children came to bless this home, namely: Sarah, who is the wife of John A. Forney, of Lapeer; Elizabeth, Mrs. George Almas, of this county; Samantha J., who married George E. Green of this county; David; Samuel L.; John; and Ida M., the wife of Peter Vincent. This prominent family have in every department in life done credit to the town in which they live and the parents from whom they received their birth and training.
