Lenawee County By John J. Adam, February 7th, 1878.
But as the State Pioneer Society are already in possession of a sketch of the early settlement of that township, as read by James T. Kedzie, at a semi-centennial celebration of its settlement at the Bliss homestead there some two years ago, I need not here repeat the data there gathered, or go over the same ground. I would merely remark, in passing, that the growth of Blissfield was comparatively slow for a few years, as compared with Tecumseh and Adrian—partly on account of its being much more heavily timbered land, and partly because of the difficulty of getting in or out, until after the opening of the railroad from Toledo. But these drawbacks have long since been overcome.
Darius Comstock, at whose house the first town meeting for the then township of Logan was held, came to the territory in 1825, with his son, Addison J., afterwards the founder of the village of Adrian.
