           [240-245]

           FELIX FILION, farmer on section 25, Meade Township, was born
        Nov. 20, 1841, in Canada.  His parents, MOSES and ANGELINE
        (DESJARDINES) FILION, were also natives of the Dominion. In 1859,
        MR. FILION came to Huron County on a prospecting tour, accompanied
        by his father. They purchased land in the township of Caseville,
        but were prevented from locating on account of the ague, and in the
        fall he returned to Canada. In the spring of 1860 he again came to
        Huron County, and settled in Hume Township. In 1862, he enlisted in
        the 23d Mich. Vol. Inf., and served until the end of the war.
           On receiving his discharge he returned to the township of Hume.
        He continued to remain there until the fall of 1869, when he again
        returned to Canada, residing there until 1875. In the fall of that
        year he came to Huron County once more, residing a year at Port
        Austin. In the year 1876, he came to Meade Township and purchased
        the estate where he has since lived. It contains 80 acres of land
        and was in a wholly unimproved condition. He has cleared about 20
        acres.
           In politics MR. FILION is identified with the Prohibition party.
        He was Superintendent of Schools in the township of Lincoln five
        successive years, and Supervisor for five years. In the spring of
        1884 he was elected Supervisor of Meade Township. He is also Health
        Officer, and has officiated seven years as School Director.
           His marriage to AURORA PARENT occurred Oct. 21, 1869, in Canada.
        Four children have been born of their union - ALMA A., HOMER A.,
        CHARLES A. and ELLA R.  The parents are members of Protestant
        Methodist Church.
