         LUCIUS C. WHITCHER, son of JOSEPH and MARY WHITCHER, was born
       at Covington, Genesee county, N.Y., died in Wheatland, March 30,
       1892, being seventy-one years, two months and seventeen days old.
       Moved with his parents to the township of Lodi, Washtenaw county,
       Michigan in September 1831, was married to CAROLINE C. BROOKINS
       in April, 1847, moved to Wheatland, April 23, 1848. To them were
       born five children, MARCENIUS M., HORTENSIA A., IDA A., INEZ E.,
       and ELGIVA E., who died January 4, 1880. Words cannot make or
       unmake a life, and yet when a life of usefulness has been lived
       it seems quite proper to speak of the virtues of the deceased.
       In regard to MR. WHITCHER, it may be said, he was an industrious,
       hard-working man, upright in his business affairs and although he
       had never made a public profession of the Christian religion, yet
       he was a firm believer in the teachings of the Bible. He was a man
       who was respected by those who knew him best, and the people of
       Wheatland feel that they have indeed lost one of their most use-
       ful citizens.
