THOMAS D. PARTRIDGE. One of the financial supports of Flint Township, Genesee
County, and a man whose well-kept and splendidly managed farm is one of the
features of this section of the country, is he whose name appears above. He is
of English birth and parentage, having been born in Devonshire, March 6, 1832.
He is a son of Thomas and Ann (Dawe) Partridge, who came to the United States in
1835, and settled in Stafford, Genesee County, N. Y. In 1839, the family moved
to Atlas, Genesee County, Mich., remaining there for two and one-half years and
in 1842 they came to Flint Township, and located on section 36. In January,
1867, the parents retired from active agricultural interests and removed to
Flint where they spent their last days, their decease occurring respectively
March 20, 1880, and January 12, 1883.

  He of whom we write is one of four children born to his parents, there being
three sons and one daughter. Of these our subject was the second. He came to
Michigan with his parents and remained at home until twenty-three years of age.
His life occupation has been that of farming, although for two years in the
latter part of the '60s he engaged in the mercantile business in Byron in
partnership with his brother.

  Mr. Partridge is the owner of a fine farm, which is made attractive by the
excellent class of buildings which it bears as well as the perfect manner in
which it is cultivated. He is the owner of three hundred and eight acres here.
Since 1866, he has rented his farm confining his attention to an oversight of
the same. In March, 1880, he removed to Flint, and made his home with his
parents until their decease and indeed continued his residence there until eight
years later. He has taken an active part in local politics, being a stanch and
loyal Republican, whose influence as wielded in this direction is not
unimportant. He has been a liberal contributor to all enterprises that promise
to tend to the improvement of the portions of the country in which he lives. He
has valuable business connections in Flint. Although in every way eligible, Mr.
Partridge has never yet made up his mind to join the ranks of the Benedicts.
