township, Jackson county. He is at present in his eighty-fourth year, while

George W. Ackley is a native of New York, having been born in Seneca county.
November 11, 1819. In his native county he grew to manhood, receiving
a fair common school education and in early life se lecting
agriculture as his vocation. In 1846 he was united in marriage to Miss Almira
Yale, a native of Seneca County and a descendant of Governor Yale, of Connecticut,
one of the early patrons of Yale College. New Haven, and the man after
whom the college was named. For a number of years after his marriage Mr. Ackley
prosecuted his labors on the farm and so successfully that he amassed
enough means to justify him in coming west and investing in some of the fertile
acres of Jackson county, Michigan. It was during the early 'fifties that he arrived
in Jackson county and he immediately invested in one hundred and sixty acres
of good land in Pulaski township, a part of section 21. Here he
and his wife have resided for upwards of half a century. Prosecuting their farm
work until the weight of years admonished them to desist. From their very modest
beginning they have added to their earthly stores, year after year. Until
at the present time they are very comfortably situated financially and can well
afford to accord to themselves that quiet peace and comfort which should be the
invariable reward of a well spent life.
