Author: H. W. Beckwith (1881)

   Prof. Wilbur Buzzell, teacher, Attica, third son of John and Catherine Amelia
(Lewis) Buzzell, was born in Davisonville, Genesee county, Michigan, November
27, 1848. His father was a carpenter, and he worked with him and partially
learned the same trade. He prepared for college at Detroit and Flint, Michigan.
At the former place he received instruction in music under John Zundel. In 1869
he matriculated at the Michigan University and graduated in the classical course
in 1873. He was organist for the Methodist church at Ann Arbor, and this
situation furnished him the principal part of the means required to complete his
collegiate course. His father provided the remainder. In the fall of 1873 he
went to the Norwich University, a military academy situated at Northfield,
Vermont, and was there at different times amounting to two years altogether. He
resided in Vermont during the school years of 1873 and 1874, and in February,
1875, came to Kalamazoo, remaining there till June. On September 1 he celebrated
his marriage with Miss Carrie Matthews, of Ann Arbor, and immediately went to
Vermont, spending a year in that state, and returning to Michigan the next
summer. In the autumn of 1876 he removed to La Fayette and taught two years in
the high school in that city, and in 1878 became principal of the Attica High
School. In this position he has given eminent satisfaction, and has been
retained another year. During his residence in La Fayette he was organist for
the Second Presbyterian church, and when he came to Attica he took charge of the
music in the Methodist church. The professor is an able and skillful musician
and an accomplished vocalist.
