Addison P. Brewer. East Saginaw, by reason of the fact that it lay somewhat to the north and out of the beaten track of travel, secured the unenviable notoriety among emi grants, and even among the pioneer class of the country, of be ing an unhealthy locality, unfit even for tivation or practical development. And the fact that there were men brave enough, in the early days, to risk sickness and other disasters in the true spirit of enterprise and adventure. Speaks volumes for their true heroism and innate bravery. Of this class of men a self-made man among many self - made men - is Addison P. Brewer. Born in 1826, in Greene County, New York, the eldest of nine children, his boyhood days passed the same as those of his neighbors, until he was about seven years of age, when his father, with his little family, moved to the State of Michigan. The voyage consumed eighteen days. Lt was made by sloop on the Hudson River, by c through Central New York, and thence by Lake Erie, finally reaching the fixed destination, a piece of wild land in the township of Addison, in Oakland County. Young Brewer was the eldest son, as has been stated, and much of the hard labor of making a home in the wilderness devolved upon him. No such advantages for securing an education existed in those days as are enjoyed now by rich and poor alike, but he managed to obtain the rudimentary branches taught then in the district school; and this, with the privilege of a high-school course for several terms, fitted him, in turn. To become a teacher, which occupation he followed for several.
