Book excerpt: Excerpt from Portrait and Biographical Album of Huron County: Containing Portraits and Biographical Sketches We have completed our labors in writing and compiling the Portrait and Biographical Album of Huron County, and wish, in presenting it to its patrons, to speak briefly of the importance of local works of this nature. It is certainly the duty of the present to commemorate the past, to perpetuate the names of the pioneers, to furnish a record of their early settlement, and to relate the story of their progress. The civilization of our day, the enlightenment of the age, and this solemn duty which men of the present time owe to their ancestors, to themselves and to their posterity demand that a record of their lives and deeds should be made. In local history is found a power to instruct man by precedent, to enliven the mental faculties, and to waft down the river of time a safe vessel in which the names and actions of the people who contributed to raise this region from its primitive state may be preserved. Surely and rapidly the noble men who in their prime entered the wild forests of and Huron claimed the virgin soil as their heritage, are passing to their graves. The number remaining who can relate the history of the first days of settlement is becoming small indeed, so that an actual necessity exists for the collection and preservation of historical matter without delay, before the settlers of the wilderness are cut down by time. Not only is it of the greatest importance to render history of pioneer times full and accurate, but it is also essential that the history of the county, from its settlement to the present day, should be treated through its various phases, so that a record, complete and impartial, may be handed down to the future. The present the age of progress, is reviewed, standing out in bold relief over the quiet, unostentatious olden times; it is a brilliant record, which is destined to live in the future; the good works of men, their magnificent enterprises, their lives, whether commercial or military, do not sink into oblivion, but, on the contrary, grow brighter with age, and contribute to build up a record which carries with it precedents and principles that will be advanced and observed when the acts of soulless men will be forgotten, and their very names hidden in obscurity. In the preparation of the personal sketches contained in this volume, unusual care and pains were taken to have them accurate, even in the smallest detail. Indeed, nothing was passed lightly over or treated indifferently, and we flatter ourselves that it is one of the most accurate works of its nature ever published. As one of the most interesting features of this work, we present the portraits of numerous representative citizens. It has been our aim to have the prominent men of to-day, as well as the pioneers, represented in this department; and we congratulate ourselves on the uniformly high character of the gentlemen whose portraits we present. They are in the strictest sense representative men, and are selected from all the callings and professions worthy to be represented. There are others, it is true, who claim equal prominence with those presented, but of course it was impossible for us to give portraits of all the leading men and pioneers of the county. We are under great obligation to many of the noble and generous people of Huron County for kindly and material assistance in the preparation of this Album.

Book excerpt: Sheldon Leonard Wight was born in 1847 at Lawrence, Lorain County, Ohio. His parents were Leonard and Parthena Sheldon Wight. The family moved to Eaton County, Michigan between 1857 and 1858. In 1863, Sheldon and his older brother, Francis, enlisted in the Sixth Michigan Cavalry, Company F. The young men began their Civil War service as replacements for soldiers killed during the campaigns of 1862-1863. The two men were in Kilpatrick's raid toward Richmond and in the Battles of the Wilderness, Cedar Creek, Fisher's Hill, Five Forks, and others. They were in the final charges at Appomattox before Lee surrendered. By April 1865, the regiment was camped outside Washington D.C. After the Grand Review, they were shipped west by rail to the Powder River where they built Fort Connor, later renamed Fort Reno. Sheldon's unit wintered at Fort Bridger, Wyoming and marched back to Detroit where they were discharged in June 1866. In November 1866, Sheldon married Mary Ann Weaver in Charlotte, Michigan. The family moved to Gratiot County, eventually helping to establish the village of Sickels. They had five children.
