Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Grand Rapids and Its Industries, Vol. 2 Cantonment Anderson was a veritable bee-hive of preparation during the month of May. From all the country about came in the volunteers, and scores of enlistments were added daily, until the regiment started for the field June 13, with its ranks swollen to men. On the fourth of June, a delegation of thirty-four young ladies, representing the States of the Union, visited the camp, bearing a beautiful silk banner, on which was the inscrip tion in letters of gold: Presented by the Ladies of Grand Rap ids, to the Third Michigan Infantry. This banner was designed and wrought by Miss Mattie Ferguson, but she did not live to see it again; though it came back after less than two years of service in the field, begrimed and tattered and torn, riddled with bullets, and its folds baptized in blood, but unstained by a single act of dishonor on the part of that gallant body of patriots. It was a notable day in Grand Rapids when these soldiers started out to take part in what proved to be a most sanguinary struggle. There was general suspension of business in the city, as the regi ment marched in solid ranks through the streets to the railway station, receiving from the thousands as they passed a benedic tion of mingled pride and cheers and tears, and prayers for the success of the noble cause for which they had volunteered. No such pageant had ever before been seen here, though similar scenes were destined to become familiar before the war ended. There was no abatement 'of this patriotic ardor, and determina tion to defend the Union, and support the arm of the Govern ment. On the contrary it grew stronger and more intense as the con ict deepened. In response to the succeeding calls of the President in that year, for men, here as well as elsewhere volunteers came rushing in for enlistment. In the language of the soldier boys of those days the woods were full of patriots. Even the youth caught the ardor of loyalty, patriotism, and military enthusiasm, and in May, 1861, while the Old Third.

Excerpt: ...of his military service, number of enlistments, age, nativity, occupation, married or single, and name and address of nearest living relative. This was followed by a declaration of his disability: a statement as to the amount of his pension, the affidavit closing with an obligation to obey and abide by the rules and regulations of the Home. Following this was a certificate of identification to determine citizenship, and condition as far as ability to take care of himself was concerned. A surgeon's certificate followed this, stating the physical condition of the appli cant. Arrangements for the keeping and care of inmates were first made with the Board of Managers of the St. Mark's Home, at $3 a week per man. Soon there came many requiring hospital treatment, and for these $2 a week additional was allowed. St. Mark's Home was soon filled, and others were established--U. B. A. Home, Clinton Home, American Home, Wilson Home, Smith Home, and Nelsonwood Home. The latter was in a building on the Soldiers' Home grounds, which had been owned and used by James M. Nelson in his lifetime for a summer residence. At the American Home, a building formerly used as a hotel, on Canal street north of Bridge, a general hospital was established and dispensary opened, and Dr. R. Humphrey Stevens placed in charge as Acting Surgeon. The dedication of the Home at its completion, December 30, 1886, was an affair of unusual public interest. The building was filled. Thousands of people were in attendance. The ceremonies were opened with prayer by the Rev. Washington Gardner. Charles Tiedke, the builder, presented the structure to Fred W. Hollister, the architect, who accepted it and in turn delivered it to Governor Alger. Next in order was the presentation of the...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Grand Rapids and Kent County Michigan, Vol. 1 of 2: Historical Account of Their Progress From First Settlement to the Present Time After more than a year of continuous and painstaking effort on the part of a considerable corps of workers, the publishers of these vol umes on Kent County and Grand Rapids, present them to those for whom they were prepared in the belief that they will be found more than was promised. In their preparation accuracy has been kept more in mind than ornate diction. It was not intended to go into all the stories and traditions which hang about the dawn of white settlement in the Grand River Valley, but it was rather the plan to supplement former publications so that a searcher in the archives might find their story consistently connected down to the present year. In collaboration with Mr. Ernest B. Fisher, who has acted as our guide and mentor in all this work, we feel that a worthy and reliable result has been achieved. His long residence in Grand Rapids and his activities in many public affairs have qualified him for editor in all things relating to the last half century in this thriving metropolis of Western Michigan. And in addition we have had the assistance of an excellent corps Of advisory editors, each selected because of his knowledge of the subject matter dwelt upon in the department given over to his super vision. The chapter devoted to the Furniture Industry was con tributed by Mr. William Widdicomb, who has spent a more than ordinarily active life in that important branch of the Valley City's activities, and we feel that a better selection could not have been made. Clay H. Hollister has literally grown up in the banking business and there is perhaps no man in Michigan more familiar than he is with the history of financial affairs in general and of Grand Rapids in particular. Mr. Hollister acted as our advisory editor for the chapter on Banking and Finance. Wilder D. Stevens, of the firm of Foster, Stevens Company, gave us the benefit of his long experience in the mercantile life of Grand Rapids by reviewing the chapter on Retail Industry, and Jacob Kleinhans and Eugene Boise performed similar service, respectively, on the chapters, Courts and Lawyers and the Medical Profession. The high standing of these men in their pro fessions is a guarantee of the excellence of any work they undertake.
