MRS. HARRIET FULLER. This well-known business woman and resident of Dryden
Township, Lapeer County, has her farm on section 21. She was born in Romeo,
Mich., in Macomb County, May 24, 1824, and her father Ebenezer Kittridge a
native of Canada was a farmer by occupation who came to Michigan about the year
1810, and located in Detroit, where he remained for a year and then moved to Mt.
Clemens which was his home for five years before removing to Romeo. He was a
soldier in the War of 1812.

  Upon coming to Macomb County, Mr. Kittridge took up one hundred and sixty
acres of Government land and there built a log house and barn, and made it his
home for ten years before removing to Almont Township, Lapeer County, where he
had one hundred acres of land lying along the county line, and one hundred acres
across the road in Macomb County, all of it woodland. He improved the one
hundred acres in Macomb County, and sold it for $7,000, and the other one
hundred acres he gave to his eldest son. He spent his last days in Columbus
Township, St. Clair County, and lived to be seventy-three years old. He was one
of the three men who were the first white settlers in Michigan and was one of
the genuine pioneers here. He was a good huntsman and killed numerous bears and
deer. Diana Washburn, a native of Canada, became the wife of Ebenezer Kittridge
and the mother of our subject, and lived to the age of sixty-four years. Her
father, Samuel Washburn, was a native of New York, and his father, Samuel W.,

  The father and mother of our subject were the parents of four daughters and
six sons, and ail except one lived to rear families of their own, but only three
sons and two daughters are now living, Mrs. Fuller is the youngest daughter and
