Reed-Read Lineage (Capt. John Reed of Norwalk)

practicing physician who strove nobly to give to his children a collegiate education. Horace, though equally adapted to higher branches, chose the mathematical course and became proficient in surveying and has pursued that as part of his life work as pioneer in the development of Saginaw and surrounding counties in the state of Michigan. He went to Michigan the summer before he was 17 years old and began clearing the debris from an old lumbering chopping and finally made himself a fine residence there. In 1894 failing health obliged him to relinquish active farming and turn this labor over to his sons. Politically he is Republican but espoused the "Peoples' Party," and received twelve hundred votes as a state senatorial representative in 1894. In defeat he has always averred that the govern- ment must issue its own money the same as Lincoln did. He writes me that in 1902 his old farm passed into the hands of his two youngest sons, and he purchased a small place in the vicinity where he and his "gude" wife are whiling away their declining years. Grandpa and grandma to a whole neighborhood of little ones, as well as larger ones, too. 2814. WILSON. Emma, (add.

Y., I remember driving to Halseyville, two miles away, where there was an old white mill on which was painted in black letters, Horace Jerome, the name of my grand- father. I used to listen with eager interest to my father tell of his boyhood days in the old homestead near the mill. The old fireplace at the end of the kitchen was of such huge dimensions that he and his brothers would hitch a horse to the "backlog," drive in the door on dne side of the kitchen unload and drive out the door on the opposite side." Mrs. Wilson has in her possession her grandmother's wedding ring marked^ H. N. J., standing for Horace and Nancy Jerome. James Jerome lavished much care and thoughtfulness upon the education of his daughter Emma and sent her to Europe for a year's travel after her studies were finished here. After her return home she met and married Rev. John Wilson at Saginaw, where he was serving a pastorate at Jefferson Avenue M. E. Church, E. S. He is a graduate from Dickinson College, Carlisle, Pa., 1872. Their son William Jerome Wilson was graduated from Western Reserve University, Cleveland, in the classical course, 1905.
