Michigan Jackson
Samuel Higby became a resident of Jackson in 1839, and the same year was admitted to the practice of his profession in the courts of this state. Mr. Higby at once took a high stand among the citizens of Jackson, not only as a lawyer, but in all the relations of life. A consistent member of the Episcopal church, he stood forth to the day of his death a bright example to the church and to the world of the life of a Christian gentleman. The practice of Mr. Higby was not that of an advocate, but as counsel and in chancery practice it is no disparagement to the bar of Jackson to say that he stood at its head. As a counselor he was sought, not only in intricate legal cases, but in many others of great importance, and all parties interested were perfectly certain that his decision would be the impartial conclusion of his judgment.
In 1843 Mr. Higby was elected recorder of the village, and in 1856 he was elected its president, being the last to hold that office.
