SEDORE, Isaac
===========================================================================
Isaac Sedore, farmer, on sec. 4, Deerfield Tp., was born in Canada, April
21, 1832.  At 23 years of age he left his home and made his way westward,
hoping to find an opportunity to build up his fortune with substantial
profit.  He came to Mecosta Co., and pre-empted 40 acres of Government land
and 40 acres of swamp land, later buying an additional “40,” of which he
still retains possession, making a good farm of 120 acres with 60 improved.

Mr. Sedore is a pioneer of Deerfield Tp., and has been a resident of the
county since 1857.  He is a marked individual in the records of “first
things” in his township, as his marriage was the initial event of that
character to transpire after its settlement and organization.  He was
married in 1862, to Elizabeth, daughter of Franklin B. Smith, George
Quigley, first white settler of Deerfield, performing the ceremony of
marriage under his authority as Justice of the Peace.  Mr. and Mrs. Sedore
have six children:  Susan, Wm. H, Phebe, David, Melvin and Evaline.

Mr. Sedore is a member of the Republican party.  Religiously he is a
liberalist.

He enlisted in the late war in 1864, in Co. A, Third Volunteer Michigan
Infantry, served until the close of the war, and was honorable discharged.
