Practically the When Mr. and Mrs. Farrier began their permanent residence in this rmmt" in (letcilwr of $81, they re- rall many ot’ those who had settled here during the intervening years. Some of those here at that time were: \V. (.1. (Iain, John Hillman Stevens. for whom Hillman was named; \V. H. Farrier, William Bauer. Silas (Zohoon. l was about this time that Mont- merenry County was set apart from Athena County. W. (I. Cain was the tirst supervisor, and W. H. Farrier a brother. was the first treasurer of the. county. Mr. Farrier was a car- penter by trade and built the first school at. Hillman in 1881. He also There were only a few settlers along the road to Alpena at that time. The road was what was then known as a “tote” road, and where it turned south toward the Farrier homestead, it dwindled to a mere trail. Along this old trail for a dis- tance of‘ three miles. Mr. Farrier walked, carrying a sewing machine on his back when they first moved here. The nearest post office was at Alpena where they had to go to mail a letter or get food; Many of these trips to Alpena were made on foot, a distance of thirty miles, which was made in two days. I Their family consisted of Mary fliliza, who died in 1899; Thomas 'Ol'iver. drowned in 1886, James Wel- lington, cashier of Montmorency County Savings Bank for a number of years; Chester Edward, post- master at Hillman for nine years, both of whom ‘died of influenza in 1920; Francis Earl, who resides on a farm adjoining his father; Nelson Grover Farrier, of Hillman, who has served several terms at the state legislature as a representative from the Presque Isle district; Benjamin Ervin. of Bay City, who travels for the National Grocers; Mrs. A. E. Bartnw, at home, and Scott Dres- den. also at home. They also have twelve grandchildren. Mrs. Far- rier is seventy and Mr. Farrier sev- enty-live years of age. Early Recollections Mr. Farrier recalls the winter of 1872-73 when smallpox swept the city of Alpena, taking a terrific toll, and of the horror experienced by the city in combating the. disease. Dur- ins.r the winter, he drove a team for James Hunt and rerollects hauling the spiles that were used in the construction of the swing bridge on Second avenue.

In 1881 they took up their perm- anent residence in Montmorency County on the old homestead and the wilderness. Wiorking in the woods at lumbering jobs during the winter and clearing land during the summer. far from any conveniences or luxuries. they raised their farm ily of nine children. But they were young and strong and tackled the task before them with brave hearts. 'card bearing the names of the donors. Some of this history dates back to three years before their mar- riage when in 1872 Mr. Farrier came to Montmorency in company with W. H. Farrier and Dave Bratton and homesteaded the first piece of land in the county'. The only living peo- ple in the county at that time were two men who were trapping along the river, Jim and Tom Sherwood. At a point some distance south of here, ‘lumbermen from Alpena had been lumbering Bine' “ind“fiaéiing'ii down the river in 1870. Bring: Bride After buildin a shanty and es. tablishing his c aim b living here for time required by t e old home- stead law, Mr. Farrier returned to Canada and was married to Frances Melinda McCutcheon in 1875 at Han- over, Ontario, on the 18th day of January of that year. In May, 1875, they came to Alpena, but it was just at that time that Alpena was going through a period of unusually hard times, and they returned to Canada in (lotober of 1875 and lived in Dur- ham for six years. The married life of Mr; and Mrs. Farrier is so' closely related to the history of our country that it will bear mang‘p points of ihterest to our readers heirs was the first home- stead in the country.

And While they have prospered well in things of the world as their beautiful home bears evidence, yet their daily life has ever been marked by charity and kindness towards all. Mr. Farrier recalls the first barrel of flour and fifty pounds of pork which he had hauled in from Al- pena in 1872 when he was home- steading his farm. The flour and pork cost $10 and 818 to get, it here, making a total of $28. A team would usually make the trip in three days, staying one day in Alpena, but as Mr. Farrier had the only team for miles around, horses were very scarce and were very much needed for the work of clearing and hauling legs so that, as a rule, the supplies were toted in on foot. Early Joys and Sorrows It was during those years of pri- vation and struggle that many of their deepest joys were experienced as with their little ones about them, they built a home from a wilderness and helped to build a community. As they mingled in the social and political life devveIOpin-g about them, they were ever striving for the high- estmideals of eit.izenship,_ Although the actual date of the anniversary occurred January 18, 192. 3, the wedding celebration was postponed until a later date so that all might be able to attend.

February, in Ro- man cities, was the month {or the cleansing dt' temples and houses. February is far too cold a month with us for house cleaning, so it has lost its meaning. March is from Mars. the war godâ€"a hlowy blus- tering month with winds and storms which conquer old Mother Earth over and over again. So March is a good name too. April comes from “aperit.” a Latin word which means open. April is the opener of spring. Her coming means the renewal of life on earth after a long winter’s sleep. Mav is from Maia, a goddess. She was the daughter of Atlas, the god whoheld the earth on his shoul- ders. Maia was the mother of Mer- cury, the swift-footed messenger who had wings on his heels and ran errands between earth and heaven. Special honor was given Maia. on account of her son. and she and her six sisters were set. up in the. sky and turned into the seven stars that form the, Pleiades; and the lovely month of May was named after her.
