Michael Croninger, a veteran pioneer of Kent County, was born on the Ohio river, Feb. 14, 1814. He is a son of Joseph and Barbara Croninger. His grandfather, Joseph Croninger, was one of Gen. Washington's body guard through the Revolutionary War. In 1836 Mr. Croninger came to Detroit, Mich., and manufactured 900 barrels of cider. He made a second trip to Michigan in 1846 and entered 160 acres on Sec. 33, Cascade twp., and the following year settled with his family on the new farm. It was in its original state, claimed as tree territory by Indians and wild animals.
Mr. Croninger was an expert with the rifle and became a champion deer-hunter. One exploit was the killing of two deer by one shot.
In 1866, Mr. C. moved to Caledonia, [Kent Co.] where he owns 80 acres on Sec. 22. He was married Oct. 14, 1839, to Aurilla, daughter of Bradley and Anna Bliss, born in Franklin Co., VT, Feb. 29, 1820. They have had four children, four of whom grew to maturity: Elizabeth A.
