ELLERY IVORY, a prosperous farmer of Hadley Township, Lapeer County, is one of a
family of five children and was born July 2, 1848, in Dodge County, Wis., where
his parents had moved from New York about the year 1842. His father, Willian
Ivory, was a New Yorker by birth, Jefferson County being his native home, and
August 22, 1822, his natal day. He was descended from Irish stock.

  Our subject was married October 12, 1873, to Ophelia, a daughter of Joseph
Shook, who was a native of Pennsylvania. Unto Mr. and Mrs. Ivory has been
granted one child, Earl, who was born in 1878. The eighty acres of land upon
which Mr. Ivory's beautiful home stands is assessed at a higher figure than any
other property in the town of Hadley and indeed is as high as any in the county.
Mr. Ivory owns three hundred and ten acres of land in Elba and Hadley Townships,
most of which he has accumulated by dint of his own industry and economy,
supplemented by the wise counsel and co-operation of his valuable helpmate.

  The matters of public interest which excite the minds of the citizens of our
country are subjects of deep interest to Mr. Ivory and he has confidence that
the political dogmas embraced in the declarations of the Republican party are
such as will bear the test of time and bring prosperity to our beloved country.
He has been to a considerable extent active in furthering the interests of the
county and is always pleased to lend a helping hand to any movement which looks
to the upbuilding of the community.
