ALBERT C. AND WILLIAM F. GALBRAITH, of North Branch, Lapeer County were born in
Oxford County, Ontario, Canada and their natal days were February 25, 1860 and
January 24, 1862 respectively. The father, Francis J. Galbraith, was born in
Toronto, Canada, and there had his early training, while the mother, Eliza
(Schell) Galbraith, was born in Ontario and there resided until after her
marriage. The sons received every advantage of a common-school education, and
were not debarred from the privilege of attending to their studies all through
their days of boyhood and youth. It was about the year 1868 when their parents
came to Michigan and located in Lexington, although they did not reside there
long, removing to Algonac and afterward to North Branch.

  The father of these gentlemen was a minister of the Methodist Episcopal Church
but he was also at some time during his life connected with the mercantile
business and at various times undertook farming. The sons early chose the
newspaper work as their line of business and are now the publishers of the North
Branch Gazette. This paper was purchased in 1879 from V. S. Miller who had
established it some four years previous, and in its conduct the brothers have
been engaged from that time to this. They are young men of ability and talent
and these are freely exercised in both the business and editorial departments.

  The North Branch Gazette is independent in its politics and devotes itself
more particularly to the local interests of the community than to campaign work.
Since the Galbraith brothers took hold of it has become increasingly prosperous
from year to year, and whereas its earlier circulation was extremely limited
they have now built it up to some two thousand circulation. A. C. Galbraith is
now a member of the Village Council and is a man of considerable influence in
the community as is also his brother. They stand high in the social circles of
the place and are both of them still enjoying single blessedness.
