-CONGRESSMAN LOUD.
WHO WILL REPRESENT US AT WASHINGTON.
BRIEF HISTORY OF HIS SUCCESSFUL BUSINESS AND POLITICAL CAREER.
(From the Au Sable Press.)
In 1864 Hon. H. M. LOUD came here from Boston and was associated with a company, which built a portable mill about three miles out from town, where was sawed the lumber with which was built a mill on the company's present "big mill" site. - the family moved here in 1867, when George was a boy about 15 years of age. He went to school at Detroit, for a year, and the next year pursued a course of study at Ann Arbor. As a result of his father's belief in the efficiency of experience, the next winter he went to work and the winter following that he "put in" sixty-five miles up the Au Sable river, scaling the company's logs at a camp of which George A. McBEAN was in charge. He succeeded Mr. McBEAN as foreman in the camp, and at nineteen years of age he was given complete charge of the mill, at that time one of the largest, if not the largest in the State of Michigan. At twenty he was employed as foreman of the company's largest camp, having under his charge ninety-seven men, sixteen horse teams and eight ox teams. He was at this time, as always, successful in keeping amicable and friendly relations with the men under him, and, notwithstanding the amount of business with which his mind was burdened he won commendation from the general superintendent for his tact along this line. An instance of his having had trouble with a laboring man employed by him or working under him is wanting, and not alone to the men, did his work always prove satisfactory, but to the company as well.
For the next ten years of his life he was employed as foreman of the mill during, the summer, and had charge of the lumber camps during the winter seasons. He then succeeded Joseph DUDGEON as general superintendent for the company - having charge of all lumbering, driving and farming operations, and on the acquirement by the company of the A. S. & N. W. R'y, was made vice-president and general manager of that concern. When the H. M. Loud & Son's Company was organized he was made vice-president and general superintendent, and he is a member and officer of the present corporation - H. M. Loud Sons' Company.
In 1897 Mr. LOUD received his appointment as a colonel on the staff of governor PINGREE. This was in recognition of his services rendered to the Republican party, rather than for any special work he had done for the governor.
In January 1898 he started on a 23,000 mile cruise on the Revenue Cutter, McCullough, during which trip the war with Spain came on, giving him the privilege of participating in one of the most important sea fights and greatest naval victories of all history - the battle of Manilla. On the McCullough, Colonel LOUD held a six month's commission as Paymaster. Before the fleet left China, however, he was given orders to leave, but preferred to remain in the service, and see it out when there was a chance for fighting.
On his return home he was given a very flattering ovation - a large number of citizens of Oscoda and Au Sable going on a special train to Bay City, to meet him and accompany him home, and upon his arrival at this place, the whole town turned out to do him honor. The fact that this ovation was given him by the laboring men is a source of great pride to Colonel LOUD. However, he does not, and never did, pose as a military hero. On the contrary, he takes more pride in his month's service rendered the Michigan boys in the south, his trip with the Michigan hospital train, and his services at Montauk Point. As we said at the time the soldiers were coming home: "No one could have done more or done it better than Colonel LOUD did. He even forgot to sleep while he had the soldiers under his care, and if he got one meal a day on the way north he was in great luck. All of the soldiers tell of the work that Colonel LOUD did."-Hon. Henry M. LOUD, well known for years past by our people as the millionaire lumberman of Au Sable, died at Oak Grove sanitarium at Flint last Saturday, aged 81 years. He retired from active business in 1898, and for two years past has resided at the sanitarium, where every care and comfort possible has been given him. (18 May 1905)
