EDWARD GRANT BECKERSON resides in the village of Vassar, where he conducts a
thriving business, owning a large livery and sales stable. He is the son of
Myers and Catherine (Moulton) Beckerson, natives of Haldimand County, Canada,
where the subject of this sketch was also born February 6, 1864. He was reared
on the farm and early began to realize that this is a workaday world, for in
boyhood he was engaged in farm labor for his neighbors, at the same time
assisting his father, with whom he remained until reaching his majority.

  In 1885 our subject came to Tuscola County, Mich., and entered the employ of a
Mr. Wentworth, for whom he worked one year. He was then employed by Townsend
North, Esq., as foreman of his large farm in Denmark Township. Mr. North died in
1889, but our subject continued his supervision of the place for the widow until
the summer of 1891, when he bought out the stable that he now owns. He is
already doing a very, prosperous business.

  February 23, 1886, Mr. Beckerson was happily married to Mrs. Lizzie Stahl,
widow of George Stahl, and a native of the State of Maine. This union has been
blest by the advent of one son, Basil, who was born September 23, 1889. Mrs.
Beckerson had one son by her former marriage-Elmer, who is deceased. In politics
Mr. Beckerson is conservative. Socially he is a member of Tent No. 66, K. O. T.
M., of Vassar. He is an estimable young man, whose faithfulness to others is the
best indication of his thorough work for himself.
