Almon Whipple {3914} late of Howell, was born in Hardwick, Massachusetts, February 21, 1800. He was descended from Henry Leland,--the common ancestor of the Leland family in America,--in the line of Ebenezer Leland, of Sherburne; James Leland, and Jerusha Leland, who married Jacob Whipple, of Grafton; James Whipple, of Hardwick, Massachusetts; and James Whipple, of Springfield, New York. His father carried on agriculture in Hardwick, and subsequently engaged in the manufacture of cotton. In 1817 he removed to Otsego, New York, where he resided until his death, which occurred in 1852. Almon Whipple was the seventh in a family of ten children. He attended the common schools of Hardwick about four months of each year, and spent the rest of his time in work on the farm and in his father's factory. At the age of fifteen, he engaged to learn the clothing business. After serving his apprenticeship, he continued to work as journeyman until 1822, at which time he bought the property, and carried on the business for three years. He then sold his interest, and removed to Petersham, in the same county. Here he engaged in mercantile pursuits for two years, and then removed to Otsego County, New York, where his father resided. In 1828 he commenced mercantile business in Springfield, not far from his father's home. He was very successful until 1835, after which, owing to failing health, he was compelled to rest two years. In the meantime, he had invested a portion of his capital in Government lands in Ingham County, Michigan; and, in 1837, he removed to that State, then almost a wilderness, and settled in Handy, in close proximity to his land. In 1838 he purchased a stock of goods in New York, and opened a store in Handy. In the fall of that year, he was elected Clerk of the County Court; and, in 1839, removed to Howell, the county-seat. At the expiration of two years, he was elected County Treasurer, which position he held two years. At Howell, he was elected Postmaster. He held this position six years, and then continued his mercantile pursuits until 1860. In that year, he retired from active business; and, until his death, was engaged in buying and selling real estate. Mr. Whipple always voted the Democratic ticket. He was not a member of any church, but was in sympathy with the Methodists. He was one of the earliest settlers of Livingston County, and ever manifested an active interest in the welfare of his adopted State. By his energy, close application, and business skill, Mr. Whipple achieved success. He had a firm will, but was ever ready to listen to the opinions of others. In his manners, he was modest and retiring. His record was honorable, and he enjoyed the confidence and esteem of all who associated with him. He married, January 14, 1840, Miss Mary Curtis {3948}, daughter of Victory Curtis. She died November 22, 1876. They had five children,--James C., who died in infancy, September 20, 1841; Charles, who died November 8, 1845; Almon H., who died November 5, 1868, at the age of twenty years; Franklin C. {3965}. who died December 4, 1875, aged thirty-two years; and Mary Louise, who is the wife of C. D. Austin, Esq., of Howell. Mr. Whipple died at his residence in Howell, February 14, 1878, at the advanced age of seventy-eight. Perhaps no one did more to advance the interests of Howell than Mr. Whipple. His addition to the eastern portion of the town is mainly occupied by poor people, whom he generously assisted to obtain homes. He was ever the poor man's friend. Honesty, generosity, and charity were his marked characteristics. In his official positions, he discharged his duties with fidelity.
