Portrait & Biographical History of Ionia & Montcalm Co, MI"--Sketch of M.E. Curtis, of the firm of Curtis & Sawdy]--"The father of Mrs. Curtis was Ebenezer Sawdy, who was born in Scipio*, Cayuga County, N.Y., March 2, 1812, and was reared in Orleans County, to which his parents went when he was four years old. He was married there at the age of twenty-four to Ruth Rose, who was born in that county in 1820, and whose father, Benjamin Rose, was a farmer. The latter spent his last years in this State with his daughter and family, having retired from active life. In the spring of 1842 Mr. Sawdy came to Barry County, this State,
traveling from the lakes on foot. He bought forty acres of wild land,
then returned East and in the fall brought his family to their new
home. He built a rude log house and literally hewed out a farm from the timber. He eventually became the owner of considerable landed property and was numbered among the successful members of the community. He was the first mail carrier between Woodland and South Cass, and carried the mail tied up in a handkerchief. He was Justice of the Peace for years and in politics was a Republican. His death took place February 27, 1890. The Sawdys are of English ancestry."
