Alanson Harvey Squier

Notes:

1840 living in Carrolton, Greene Co., IL. 1860 in Manchester, MI. Living with his son-in-law in 1870 and 1880, also living with them in 1870 was Rachel McMichael aged 66.

One by one our old pioneers are passing away, the scythe of time is fast cutting the brittle-thread of life and launching them into eternity. The last of our honored pioneers to pass to the other shore was Mr. Harvey Squier, who came to this township in 1832 and has lived here 59 years, excepting perhaps a few years when he made it his home part of the time with his son-in-law, Henry Martin of Jackson. He owned one of the best farms on the west plains, which is now occupied by his grand-daughter and husband, Mr. & Mrs. W. H. Henion.
Mr. Squier was nearly 82 years of age and had enjoyed very good health until of late. He died on Sunday night and his funeral was from his late residence yesterday afternoon.
