Mahlon H. Raymond, M.D. This popular physician of Grass Lake, stands high socially and professionally, has one of the finest homes in the town and is in the enjoyment of the esteem and confidence of hosts of friends. A man in the prime of life, he was born June 19, 1836, and is a native of Michigan, his birthplace being Sharon, Washtenaw County.
Dr. Raymond traces his genealogy back to three brothers who left France during the Revolution and crossing the Atlantic, settled in New York State prior to the commencement of the struggle which resulted in the independence of the colonies. The name was originally spelled Raymong and was Americanized after the settlement of the family in this country.
The subject of this notice is the son of Cyrus and Lorena (Dickinson) Raymond, natives of New York State, the father born in Yates County and the mother born in Steuben County. The latter died in Washtenaw County, this State, in October 1883. She was the daughter of Amost Dickinson, likewise a native of New York and of English descent. Cyrus Raymond early in life worked as a general mechanic, but in 1836 came to Michigan Territory and taking up land in Washtenaw County, turned his attention to farming. The paternal grandfather, David Raymond, also a native of New York State came to Michigan in 1833, and died in Washtenaw County, about June 28, 1858, at the advanced age of ninety years, seven months and ten days. He was the son of Samuel Raymond likewise a native of New York and who served as Captain of a company in the Revolutionary War; he died in 1821, in Benton, Yates County, N.Y. The parental household included five children, namely: Melvin M., who died when three years old; Mahlon H., our subject; Melvin D., Harriet E. and Morton L.
Young Raymond remained on the far with his parents in Washtenaw County during his younger years, attending the common school and assisting in the labors around the homestead. He was studiously included, however, from a youth and entered Albion College in due time, but began teaching before completing his education. In the meantime he employed his leisure hours in the reading of medicine and finally entered the medical department of Michigan State University from which he was graduated in the spring of 1859. Locating then in Grass Lake, he entered upon the properous and successful career of thiry years which has won him both property and popularity.
Dr. Raymond watched the progress of the Civil War until September, 1862, and then joined the army as Assistant Surgeon with the Twenty-sixth Michigan Infantry. In April following he was commissioned surgeon of the same regiment in which capacity he acted until the close of the war, receiving an honorable discharge and being mustered out at Jackson June 4, 1865. Returning then to Grass Lake he resumed his regular practice which he has followed almost uninterrptedly to the present time. He belongs to both the Jackson and Washtenaw County Medical Associations. He was wisely invested his capital in real estate, being the owner of a fine farm, two hundred and sixty acres in extent and comprising a portion of sections 6 and 36, Grass Lake Township. This land is regularly cultivated and is the source of a handsome income.
Without neglecting his profession, Dr. Raymond has still found time to interest himself in the public and political affairs of his country, and after filling other positions of trust and responsiblity, was brought forward by the Republican party as their candidate for the State Legislature. He was duly elected in 1878, and served with credit to himself and satisfactin to his constituents. He has been President of the Grass Lake Village Board for five years and for twenty-two years has been connect6ed with the Board of Education. His religious views harmonize with the doctrines of the Methodist Episcopal Church of which he is a prominent and contributing member. He is a Royal Arch Mason and a warm defender of the principles of the fraternity.
For a period of thirty-one years there has presided over the pleasant home of Dr. Raymond, one of the most estimable of ladies, who born the maiden name of Jennie E. Gould and to whom he was wedded at her home in Ypsilanti, April 6, 1859. The sole daughter and child of their house and home is Nina L., who was born May 18, 1860, and is now the wife of E. A. Croman of Grass Lake. The family residence is located in the east part of town and it is hardly necessary to add that it is a frequent resort of the refined and cultured people of Grass Lake Township. Dr. Raymond is a man whose name will ever be held in kindly remembrance as one who has contributed his full quota to the growth and advancement of his town and who has reflected credit upon the medical profession of this county.
