consists of 174 acres of land, 

90 acres of which have been placed in a finely improved condition.  The farm 
buildings are of a good style 

and substantial, and the value of the place is greatly increased by a wll 
selected orchard.  Mr. Platt 

coincides with the Republican element in political affinity, and has acted in 
the capacity of School 

Director.

He was married Jan. 21, 1883, in Newaygo County, to Achsah Mila, daughter of 
Enoch and Hannah I. (Kimball) 

Doty.  The father was of Welsh parentage, born in New York, in 1837, and died 
in 1872.  The mother was 

born in the Empire State in 1845, and is yet living, in Newaygo County.  Mrs. 
Platt was born July 7, 1854, 

in Clinton Co., Mich.  She and her husband belong to the Congregational Church.
