           [392-395]

           STEWART VAN BUSKIRK, senior member of the firm of VAN BUSKIRK &
        Monroe, lumber dealers at Sand Beach, was born Oct. 7, 1860, in
        Pine Run, Genesee Co., Mich. He is the son of JOSEPH and MARY
        (WILBUR) VAN BUSKIRK, the former a resident of Rochester, N.Y.;
        the latter of Livingston County in the same State. Their family
        includes two children, — STEWART and MINNIE F. The latter is the
        wife of GEORGE N. MONROE, of Sand Beach.  MR. VAN BUSKIRK, SR.,
        removed his family and business interests, in 1867, to Harrisville,
        Alcona Co., Mich., where he still resides, and is connected with
        the lumbering interests of the place where he is located. He is the
        proprietor of two saw-mills and two general mercantile establish-
        ments, and is doing an extensive business, employing an average
        working force of 100 men.
           MR. VAN BUSKIRK was trained to a complete understanding of his
        business by his father, was a clerk in his store during his
        minority, and had the charge of one of his saw-mills through one
        season. His father established a lumber-yard at Sand Beach in June,
        1882. In July, 1883, the son and son-in-law became proprietors of
        the yard by purchase, and built a planing-mill. It is 50 x 58 feet
        in size, and is fitted with a steam engine of 100-horse power. The
        mill requires the aid of three assistants besides the owners.
           MR. VAN BUSKIRK is a member of the order known as the Knights of
        Columbia.
