The distinction of having been the prime factor in the building of more than sixteen hundred miles of railroad in Michigan alone is of itself sufficient to make the name of James F. Joy one of the most significant in the history of this state. From 1836 until his death in 1896, Mr. Joy was a resident of the city of Detroit. Beginning his career there as a struggling young attorney, he rose to be one of the foremost business men of the United States, a recognized authority on finance, and one of the ablest railroad managers of the middle west. His achievements both in his profession and in practical affairs is remarkable. With his great executive ability he combined attributes of character which marked him as one of the most distinguished of Michigan's citizens. It has been said of him that he was too honest to be politic, too conscientious to be sycophantic and that his practice of all times telling the truth often made enemies of small-minded men, but brought him the friendship, never violated, of the greatest individuals of his time. James Frederick Joy was born at Durham, New Hampshire, December 2, 1810, a son of James and Sarah (Pickering) Joy. His father was a blacksmith by trade, and at Durham manufactured scythes and also engaged in ship building. The first ancestor of the name was Thomas Joy, who left England about 1632, locating at Boston. The town records show him to have been a landholder at Boston in 1636. James Joy, the father, was a man of strong character, of much enterprise and originality, was a Federalist in politics, a Calvinist in religion, and a leader in both religious and civil life in his community. His character and example were influential in the lives of his children, and from him the great railroad builder and lawyer inherited some of his best native traits. The common schools of New England introduced James Frederick Joy to a knowledge of life, and he completed his education in an academy, a short distance from his home. He then took up teaching and with some assistance from his father finally entered upon a collegiate course, graduating at the head of his class at Dartmouth College, with the degree of Bachelor of Arts. From Dartmouth he went to Harvard College, and took up the study of law. His finances did not allow him to continue until graduation, and he supplemented his income by teaching in the academy at Pittfield, Massachusetts, and for a year as a tutor in Dartmouth College. Resuming his studies at Harvard, he completed the course within a year and was admitted to the bar at Boston. In September, 1836, Mr. Joy arrived at Detroit, and entered the law office of Hon. Augustus S. Porter, later United States senator from Michigan. In 1837 he opened a law office of his own, and became associated in practice with George F. Porter, who had a large acquaintance with prominent moneyed interests in this state and elsewhere. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of Northern Michigan and Its People, Vol. 2 While Mr. Hannah never had the time nor the desire to participate actively in public affairs his interest in political questions was deep and sincere and he gave an earnest support to the principles of the Republi can party, believing that the platform of the party contained the best elements of good government. In their religious faith Mr. And Mrs. Hannah were not adherents of any special faith but usually attended the services of the Grace Episcopal church, to which Mrs. Hannah still gives an ardent support. Mr. Hannah was ever a generous contributor to all measures and enterprises advanced for the public good and it has been said concerning him that his charity knew only the bounds of his opportunities.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Calhoun County, Michigan, Vol. 2: A Narrative Account of Its Historical Progress, Its People, and Its Principal Interests In early life his attention was turned to the study of antiquities, especially the Mound Builders, the Indians, geology, mineralogy and numismatics. He possessed a large collection of specimens along these latter lines. As he advanced in years his greatest happiness was found in nature study. The great desire of his heart was to awaken in others an appreciation of the beauties of the outdoor world, and with this end in view he worked for the organization and maintenance of the Nature Club. It became his keen delight, in company with genial friends from this club, to take long walks across Open fields, along winding streams, beneath leafy bowers and through wooded tracts. A' dinner cooked over an open fire or a luncheon spread by a natural stream of cold water was to him more inviting than the most delicious viands ever served at a conventional feast.
