"ALONZO W. WOOLEY, farmer, was born in Rutland, N. Y., September 10, 1844. He came with his parents to Genesee County, Mich., in 1854, and on April 1, 1869, they came to Akron and bought 110 acres of land in section 36, having about $1,200 of capital, and opened a home in the dense but delightsome forest. On August 16th, of that year, he was married to Miss [Angelina] Matilda Chapman [Chaplin] of Watertown. She was born in Handy [Township, Livingston County], Mich., December 31, 1849. They have two sons and three daughters. They built a small shanty on their place among the trees, and had to push the nearest trees with pike poles when felling them, to prevent them from falling on the dwelling. They braved the toils and hardships od [old] pioneer life steadily and energetically, and by their own labor secured about seventy-five acres of improvement, enclosed with excellent fences, and on this a large fruit-bearing orchard of apples, pears, cherries, plums and small fruits, a good dwelling, two large barns and truly pleasant home enticements, which they have lately sold for $4,000. Their present home is on section 31, Columbia, where they have eighty acres of land, with seventy under cultivation, with good farm buildings, a plentiful supply of excellent fruits, and a most inviting situation, for which he gives $3,200, leaving a handsome cash margin for other investments."
