  History of the Lake Huron Shore
  H. R. Page & Co., Chicago - 1883


        [247]

        JOHN S. MINOR was born in Madison County, New York, in July, 1816, and
     moved with his parents to Canada, and settled in Haldimand County, Ontario.
     He was engaged in lumbering on the Grand River, at Dunnville, until 1858,
     but previous to that had become interested in pine lands, in company with
     J. K. LOCKWOOD and others.  In the Fall of 1858 he came to Alpena, and
     superintended the building of the "Richardson dam;" built the "Union mill"
     in 1860, and, in company with MR. LOCKWOOD, the "Home mill," which was
     burned before they had fully completed it.  In the Fall of 1862, L. M.
     MASON was admitted as a partner, under the firm name of L. M. MASON & Co.,
     which was continued until November, 1867.  MR. MINOR then took the "Island
     mill," which he carried on till 1872, when he rebuilt, and continued until
     December 1, 1881, when he sold out to the present MINOR Lumber Company.
     MR. MINOR's residence is in Detroit, but he spends some time each Summer in
     Alpena.
