By localities, Anti Arbor City, 21 ; Ypsilanti City, 20 ; Ypsilanti Town, 7 ; Ann Arbor Town, 3; Salem, 5; Northfield, 7; Webster, 6; Dexter, 1; Lyndon, 2; Sylvan, 6; Lima, 4; Scio, 6; Pittsfield, 2; Lodi, 2; Sharon, 2; Manchester, 5; Saline, 4; York, 1 ; Augusta, 6; With the towns of Superior, Bridgewater and Freedom not reported. As at the last meeting the standard for record was raised from 20 years residence to 40 years no comparisons can be made with former years. This record is as complete as your compiler could make it with the reports which he could gather, being dependent on the press for the most part, out side of his own locality. The Vice President from Webster, Mr. Isaac Terry, reported his Township and enabled me to make the record of that complete. The record of years resident is too imperfect to make any deductions from it many being reported as 40 or more, 50 or more. The desire was not to admit any one who had not been a resident for 40 years at least but it is possible that some mistakes have been made, but such as it is we submit it for your consideration. All of which is respectfully submitted. Necrologist.
