JAMES P. CAWTHORNE, farmer, on sec. 36, Wheatland Tp., was born in Flint, 
Genesee Co., Mich., May 7, 1853.  

His father, John W. Cawthorne, is an Englishman by birth and descent, and his 
mother, Myra J. (Calkins) 

Cawthorne, is a native of New York.  Mr. Cawthorne is a music teacher by 
profession and has for years 

combined his labors in that avenue with the other duties of life which have 
devolved upon him.  He finished 

his preparation for his vocation at the State Normal School at Ypsilanti and 
began to teach in 1872.  He 

justly deserves the wide local reputation he has earned as a skillful musician 
and a competent teacher, 

whose success in the latter capacity is acknowledged without qualification.  
He teaches both vocal and 

instrumental music.  He was married March 2, 1876, to Susie A., daughter of 
John A. and Ada (/golden) Wood, 

who was born May 27, 1860, in Chemung Co., N.Y.  Her parents ae of French and 
German descent.  After their 

marriage, Mr. and Mrs. Cawthorne resided with their parents until 1881, when 
they located on the arm where 

they now reside.  The place was purchased some years previous, and contains 
some 120 acres, with 47 acres 

under cultivation.  Of the marriage of Mr. and Mrs. Cawthorne are two 
children:  Charles C., bonr June 3, 

1879, and Mabel, Nov. 9, 1882.  Mr. Cawthorne is a Republican in politics, and 
is secretary of the Order of 

Good Templars.  Himself and wife belong to the M.E. Church.
