The year after his marriage, Mr. Childs with his bride removed to the then wilds of Michigan, he purchased a tract of land in Washtenaw Co and established a home. His daughter writes, "For many years he experienced the manifold trials incident to pioneer life, at that period. From the organization of the township in which he resides, he has been connected with it in official capacities. For fifteen years he was its Supervisor. In 1870 he was elected a member of the State Legislature." Though privation of luxuries may have been the unavoidable lot of these early settlers of the Peninsular State, long since as and plenty have crowned their toils, and none are held in more thorough esteem than the Hon. Arron Childs and his numerous family.
