I W. A. BLAKE.

Page 5 text:

V X W, A, BLAKE. A history of the graded scho ols of Galesburg that omitted the name at the head of this article would he incomplete. Mr. Blake’s participation in the management of our schools dates from the year 1875 when our schools were changed from the ungraded to graded system. During twenty-six consecutive years he has been in continuous service as one of the board of trustees, and during fifteen of these years has filled office of di¬ rector, to the satisfaction of patrons and the manifest advantage of our schools. The confidence of his acquaintances and fellow ' cit¬ izens has been manifested in many directions other than such as relate to our educational affairs. Since his arrival in Michigan in 1851, Mr. Blake has held many posifions of honor and trust. Among them have been the offices of clerk, trustee, village president, supervisor, and member of state legislature in 18111-2. His election to the two last named positions must be regarded as the greater compliment since Mr. Blake’s township and legislative district are normally opposed to his political views. He has never been an office seeker, his political honors have come unsought, as evi¬ dences of the confidence of his fellow men in his good judgement and integrity of purpose. But it is as a farmer that he finds his greatest en¬ joyment, and his numerous acres give to his inclination wide scope and generous opportunity. Mr. Blake was born in Livingston county, N. Y., in 1832, and is consequently now on the verge of “three score and ten;” but his equable temperament and meth¬ odical life have given him the advantage of at least ten years in appearance, and he bears his age lightly.
