Michigan Jackson
It may not be amiss to say, in connection with this sub ject, that the ladies of that period took upon themselves their full share of the burdens of pioneer life, and are entitled to as much credit as their husbands.
The pioneers of Jackson were intelligent, honest and industrious were good neighbors and good citizens. Very few are now alive to me with the pioneers of Jackson county; but many lived to see remarkable changes and to be proud of their township and the city which now bears its name.
To their successors, who can never fully realize their privations, who now enjoy the fruits of their hardship and toil, we would say deavor by your actions to show the survivors that you appreciate the character and worth ; cheer their hearts and lighten the burdens of the declining years, and you will have nobly performed your part in life, you make for yourselves as good a record as have our Jackson Pioneer
