EDWIN HARMON, landlord of the Millbrook hotel, Millbrook village, was born in 
Maine, Feb. 14, 1832, and is 

a son of John and Ann E. (Martin) Harmon, natives of Maine.  The father died 
in California in 1867' and 

the mother resides at Boston, Mass.  At the age of 16 Mr. Harmon engaged as a 
lumberman, and also in the 

river service, which he pursued as a vocation 25 years.  In 1859 he left Maine 
and came to Clearfield Co., 

Pa., and there engaged in lumbering 14 years.  He left the Keystone State in 
the fall of 1873 and came to 

Mason Co., Mich., pursuing the same business at which he had spent so many 
years of his life, about 18 

months, during which time he also kept a boarding house.  At the termination 
of the period named, in 1875, 

he came to Blanchard, Isabella Co., Mich., and, forming a partnership with 
H.P. Blanchard, continued to 

prosecute the lumber trade.  At the end of one year this connection closed and 
Mr. Harmon came to Mecosta 

County, and in December, 1876, located at Millbrook and established himself in 
the hotel business, which 

still monopolizes his time and energies.  His house is the leading one in that 
section and is the only one 

in town.

Mr. Harmon was married in Pennsylvania, May 24, 1861.  Mrs. Harmon was born in 
Center Co., Penn.  She has 

one child by a former marriage, Deborah.  Mr. Harmon is a Democrat.  He has 
been connected with the Order 

of Odd Fellows about 20 years; has held the office of Deputy Sheriff two and a 
half years, and been 

Constable one year.
