George H. Marsh.
The attention of the traveler is often attracted by the elegant residences and pleasant homesteads of Calhoun County, but perhaps none will awaken greater admiration than the beautiful home of Mr. Marsh, picturesquely situated on section 24, Clarendon Township.
The fine residence, a view of which is shown on another page, can be seen for along distance, and stands on a rise of ground from the lawn slopes in every direction.
With th L. it comprises fifteen rooms, all furnished with an exquisite taste that bespeaks the refinement and culture of it inmates.
In the rear will be noticed all those buildings, which add to the convenience of the farmer, and furnish shelter for stock and farm machinery and storage for grain.
The homestead comprises one hundred and fifty-five acres, and besides this Mr Marsh owns an eighty acre tract of land in Muskegon County, Twelve miles north of the city of that name and bordering on Blue Lake. On this lovely location he is talking of building a cottage and making a summer resort for this family. On his home place he devotes considerable attention to stock-raising, and is now breeding imported Shropshire sheep. having about fifty head. He has erected three barns, one for grain,, 40x40, with an eleven foot basement, a sheep barn, 24x60 with a twenty five foot addition, and a stable 26x36 two stories in height.
These various buildings were erected at considerable expense, the cupola alone coating $75, and containing a copper ball that was brought here in the "May-Flower" , a vessel plying between Cleveland and Buffalo.
This relic is one of the most valued possessions of Mr Marsh, and no offer of money would induce him to part with it. He also has a washbowl made out of one of the balls on the "May-flower"
Mr Marsh comes of English antecedents, his grandfather, Hezekiah Marsh, being a native of England, whence he came to America and located in Connecticut at an early day. He is supposed to have been connected with the Revolutionary War.
His wife, who bore the maiden name of Sarah Kilburn, was of English birth and lived to the advanced age of ninety-eight years. The father of our subject, who also bore the name of Hezekiah Marsh, was a native of Connecticut, born in Hartford, and was a farmer by occupation. Upon attaining years of maturity he united in marriage with Amanda Cook, who was born in Simsbury, Hartford County, Conn. and reared in the place of her birth. Her father, Elisha Cook, was probably a native of England.
The marriage of the parents of our subject was solemnized in Simsbury, Hartford County, Conn. after which they took up their residence on a farm situated on the banks of the Connecticut River.
In that place the father owned a fine farm, where he lived two years, then removed to Erie County. Pa. There in the town on North East, our subject was born October 26, 1830, and there the mother died in 1837, leaving two children, our subject and his sister,now Mrs. Eliza Marble.
The latter resides on the old homestead, which she owns. After the mothers death, the father returned to the old home in Hartford County, and ther our subject was reared to manhood, enjoying excellent educational advantages for those times, and remaining under the paternal roof until he was twenty one years of age.
In the meantime he learned the butcher's trade and worked for some time in a market in Hartford.
In the years 1849--50 thou ands went to California in search of gold, and our subject was one of the number. The trip was made by water over the Vanderbilt route to the Isthmus of Panama, thence to San Francisco and later to Sacramento, where he engaged in the market business.
After arriving in Hartford he again embarked in the business which had formerly occupied his time and was prospered in his enterprise.
Mr Marsh was first married in 1852 in Pennsylvania, Miss Jane E Buell becoming his wife. This lady was a native of Hartford County, Conn. whence her parents, Hiram and Roxannia (Cook) Buell, native of Connecticut, removed to Crawford County, Pa. where Mrs Marsh was reared to womanhood. After his marriage Mr Marsh located in Pennsylvania and later removed to Ohio, where he engaged in the tinning and hardware business in the town of Madison.
After a sojourn of a few years in Ohio he sold out his business and moved to Albion, Erie County Pa. and there followed the same vocation. In 1860, having resolved to settle permanently in the growing West, he came to Michigan and located on Section 13, Clarendon Township this county.
That property was comparatively unimproved, but by untiring perseverance it was transformed into an attractive homestead. Immediately after settling there Mr Marsh built a house and made it his homer for four years.
In 1864 Mr Marsh located on section 24, where he now resides and which then bore no improvements. That the years which have elapsed since the purchase have been busy ones, may be judged by the fact that the homestead now ranks among the finest in the county, and the well-tilled acres pay a yearly tribute to the cultivation of the owner.
Mr Marsh politically, is a Democrat, and cash his first vote for Gen. William H Harrison. He has served as Drain Commissioner, and was one of the leading men in clearing the St Joseph River through the township of Clarendon.
His first wife died September 13, 1866, and was buried in Homer. Of this union one child was born, a daughter , now Mrs Mary A Bacoe, a resident of Clarendon Township.
On June 23, 1869, Mr Marsh was united in marriage with Miss Carrie Redfield, a native of the State of New York. Mrs Marsh accompanied her parents to Michigan at an early age, and was reared in Homer, receiving the advantages of a good education and becoming proficient in those household duties which fitted her to take charge of a home of her own.
He parents, Beriah and Cornelia (Parkinson) Redfield, were also natives of New York and are now deceased.
Of the union of Mr and Mrs Hatch two daughters were born, Lulu V born December 7.1874, and Jennie L.V December 30 1970. Both daughters are attending school and are being prepared for responsible positions in life. They are good musicians and not only are preficient performers on the piano and organ, but are also sweet singers devoting considerable attention to voice culture.
Mrs Marsh is a pianist of no ordinary ability and prizes very highly a piano given her by her father forty years ago.
Mr Marsh finds rest from the cares of business in the enjoyment of good music and owns a violin for which he refused $200.
From that fine instrument his skilled fingers evoke sweet strains of melody, charming the guests who often gather under his hospitable roof.
He also has in his possession a pair of boots worn by his father, made in 1840, by Chopin & King of Hartford Conn, the boots being well preserved and at times being worn by our subject.
