-Ed. SULLIVAN, who has been in R. S. BABBITT's employ, now has control of the shop9. Success, Ed. ( 20 Apr 1882)

-It looks kindly good and natural-like to see that long-whiskered "river pirate" on our streets again - of course we refer to Mr. R. S. BABBITT, Sen. (31 Aug 1882)

-Reuben BABBITT, a guide well known to Michigan sportsmen, was knocked senseless at Grayling yesterday by Del SWADER, who struck him on the head with his gun in a dispute about a dog. SWADER was jailed, and BABBITT will probably recover.-Det. Evening News. (7 Jan 1886)

-On last Saturday afternoon an altercation occurred between two of our citizens, R. BABBITT and D. SWADER, in which language was used that was not of the choicest description, and it culminated in SWADER dealing his antagonist a blow with his rifle, which demolished the gun and inflicted a deep cut in BABBITT's head. The sheriff arrested SWADER and placed him in durance vile, while the surgeon dressed the wound which proved to not be so serious as was first imagined, and was conveyed to his home. On Monday afternoon SWADER was arraigned before the Justice, charged with assault and battery. He plead guilty and was sentenced to confinement in the hotel-de-Hum for two days and to pay a fine of $10.00 and costs. We trust that the experience of both will teach them a lesson, as the results might have been much more serious. (7 Jan 1886)

The following information extracted from the Grayling, Crawford Co., MI Newspaper Avalanche. NOTE: The date at the end of each extract indicates the date of the publication:
-Invitations are received here for the wedding of Miss Nellie A. HARTWICK to William J. PRATT, at the residence of the bride's father, Michael S. HARTWICK, 109 West Mason St., Jackson, Mich., February 20th. They will be "At Home" after April 15th at Prattville, Mich. The bride was a Grayling girl, and will receive the most hearty congratulations of her host of friends in this village. (13 Feb 1908)

-OBITUARY.
Michael S. HARTWICK, whose death was noticed last week, was born in Oakland County, Michigan, January, 22d 1841, and died at Jackson, April 5, 1909, having almost reached the alloted three score and ten years.
His boyhood was spent in Ingham County, near Mason, Mich., where he was married to Miss Jennie A. O'BEAR, and to them was born two sons, J. W. HARTWICK and E. E. HARTWICK, now of Jackson, Mich., and one daughter, Nellie, now Mrs. W. J. PRATT, of Addison, Mich., all of whom survive him.
His wife died in this village in 1886, but he retained his home here until 1900, when he removed to Jackson, to be near his children, then at Mason and Jackson. In 1871, Mr. HARTWICK came on an exploring trip north from Bay City, following the proposed line of the Jackson, Lansing and Saginaw R. R., now the M. C. line, which was ironed as far as Standish. After a careful consideration of the future promise of this section, he selected the present sight of Grayling for his future home, and came there with a load of lumber in advance of the civil engineers for the R. R., to make a place of shelter for them, and here, just across the present track, between the power-house and barn of the Salling, Hanson Co., with the aid of two companions, he built the first house here, from logs, the first of which lay as it fell from the stump, and which house was the first hotel, for here he cared for R. R. crews and passengers who came after the iron reached here. He had been before after his wife and two infant boys who came in a covered wagon. It was also the first store and Post Office, of which he cared for both. Since then he has built three hotels here, which have since been destroyed by fire, and built the first school house, a small one about where the R. R. roundhouse now stands.
He was chairman of the first board of supervisors of this county, and we believe had been supervisor previous to that time, while, this county was attached to Kalkaska. He has filled all of the more important offices of the township, and was ever considered among our most progressive and influental citizens, always holding close personal acquaintance with nearly every family in the county, to many of whom his generous heart and open hand had responded quickly in their times of need.
When the history of Crawford county shall be fully written, the name of Michael S. HARTWICK will be prominent in its opening chapters.
The final service was held at the M. E. Church, conducted by the Pastor Rev. V. J. HUFTON, assisted by Rev. J. Humphrey FLEMING, of the Presbyterian church, who preached the funeral sermon. A wreath of flowers covered the casket, and many of our citizens looked for the last time on the face of their friend, ere he was borne to his final resting place, by the side of his wife in Elmwood Cemetery. "He Rests in Peace." (15 Apr 1909)

- DIED
At his home, in this village, March 12, John O. HADLEY, aged 46 years.
Mr. HADLEY was one of the first settlers in this village; was recognized as among our most public spirited citizens, ever ready to do all in his power to advance the general good and assist in the growth of the place. He was especially interested in the advancement of educational facilities, and we owe much to his labor for our present efficient school and its surroundings.
He was for some time in mercantile business, and for a time Post Master here, but turned his attention to the practice of law and ral estate dealing. He was Prosecuting Attorney several terms, rendering efficient and satisfactory service.
He platted three additions to the village, which bear his name, and will perpetuate his memory.
His body was taken to Holly for interment in the family burial ground and was accompanied by O. J. BELL and Thomas WOODFIELD. At Bay City they were met by a special train and Bay City Commandery of Knights Templar, who had charge of the funeral service at the Presbyterian Church in Holly, after which the casket was deposited in the vault there, the terrible storm making it impossible to go to its final resting place.
Mrs. HADLEY and daughter were accompanied by G. F. OWEN, of Maple Forest, a relative and a life long friend and neighbor.
Our people mourn the loss of an esteemed citizen, and all extend earnest sympathy to the doubly bereaved wife and mother. (19 Mar 1891)

They came to Grayling with their family about 1877, and resided here until the time of her death except from 1898 to 1902 when she was living at Holly.
No lady in the county has had a more extended acquaintance with our people, and none has been more universally esteemed. Her home has been her kingdom, where love has reigned, and confidence been supreme. A modest, unassuming, womanly woman, whose sympathy was ever ready for those less forturnate than she, and whose time and work was always ready for those in need. Her capability in business matters has been well proven since the death of her husband, as with her daughter, she has supervised all matters connected with her estate.
She was a member of the order of Eastern Star, and of the Lady Maccabees, by whom she will be greatly missed in their lodge work as well as in their social life.
The body was taken to Holly for interment by the side of her husband and only son, in the cemetery established by the grandfather of her husband, and which has always been known as the HADLEY Cemetery. It was accompanied by her daughter, and by Fred NARREN, a life long friend, and Miss Mable REDHEAD.
Her daughter, Miss Gladys HADLEY of this village, and three sisters Mesdames David MITCHELL, Frank DOWNEY and Hanly AUSTIN, all of Holly, alone remain of her immediate family.
Brief funeral services were held at the residence here Thursday evening, Rev. E. G. JOHNSON officiating, and at the home of her sister Mrs. AUSTIN, near Holly, Friday afternoon. (4 Feb 1909)

-OBITUARY.
Michael S. HARTWICK, whose death was noticed last week, was born in Oakland County, Michigan, January, 22d 1841, and died at Jackson, April 5, 1909, having almost reached the alloted three score and ten years.
His boyhood was spent in Ingham County, near Mason, Mich., where he was married to Miss Jennie A. O'BEAR, and to them was born two sons, J. W. HARTWICK and E. E. HARTWICK, now of Jackson, Mich., and one daughter, Nellie, now Mrs. W. J. PRATT, of Addison, Mich., all of whom survive him.
His wife died in this village in 1886, but he retained his home here until 1900, when he removed to Jackson, to be near his children, then at Mason and Jackson. In 1871, Mr. HARTWICK came on an exploring trip north from Bay City, following the proposed line of the Jackson, Lansing and Saginaw R. R., now the M. C. line, which was ironed as far as Standish. After a careful consideration of the future promise of this section, he selected the present sight of Grayling for his future home, and came there with a load of lumber in advance of the civil engineers for the R. R., to make a place of shelter for them, and here, just across the present track, between the power-house and barn of the Salling, Hanson Co., with the aid of two companions, he built the first house here, from logs, the first of which lay as it fell from the stump, and which house was the first hotel, for here he cared for R. R. crews and passengers who came after the iron reached here. He had been before after his wife and two infant boys who came in a covered wagon. It was also the first store and Post Office, of which he cared for both. Since then he has built three hotels here, which have since been destroyed by fire, and built the first school house, a small one about where the R. R. roundhouse now stands.
He was chairman of the first board of supervisors of this county, and we believe had been supervisor previous to that time, while, this county was attached to Kalkaska. He has filled all of the more important offices of the township, and was ever considered among our most progressive and influental citizens, always holding close personal acquaintance with nearly every family in the county, to many of whom his generous heart and open hand had responded quickly in their times of need.
When the history of Crawford county shall be fully written, the name of Michael S. HARTWICK will be prominent in its opening chapters.
The final service was held at the M. E. Church, conducted by the Pastor Rev. V. J. HUFTON, assisted by Rev. J. Humphrey FLEMING, of the Presbyterian church, who preached the funeral sermon. A wreath of flowers covered the casket, and many of our citizens looked for the last time on the face of their friend, ere he was borne to his final resting place, by the side of his wife in Elmwood Cemetery. "He Rests in Peace." (15 Apr 1909)
