The Hon. Levi Baxter was a native of Connecticut, being born at East Windsor, in that State, on the 5th of October, 1788. His father, whose name was also Levi, was one of the heroes of the Revolution, and retired from his military service with the well-earned rank of captain. While he was still a child the family removed to Delhi, Delaware Co., N. Y., and remained there until the year 1803, when they removed to Sidney Plains, a village in the western part of the same county, situated on the eastern bank of the Susquehanna River. Here Mr. Baxter first entered upon the active business of life, engaging in farming, lumbering, and mercantile pursuits, and here he was married, in 1814, to Miss Lois Johnson, daughter of Col. Witter Johnson, of the Revolutionary army. In 1831 he decided to try his fortunes in the new country then being opened to settlement in the West, and removed with his family to the Territory of Michigan, locating at Tecumseh, where he soon after built the first mills of any size west of Monroe, which were then called and, for a long time after, widely known as the " Red Mills." These mills furnished the only facilities for grinding to a large extent of sparsely-settled country, and people came to mill from points thirty, forty, and even fifty miles distant. During his residence in Tecumseh he was appointed chief-justice of the court for the county of Lenawee, and thus obtained his familiar title of "judge." In 1834, in connection with Cook Sisson, of Lenawee County, he built a mill at Jonesville, and two years later removed to White Pigeon and there erected other and more extensive mills. While living at this place, in 1840, in conjunction with Mr. H. L. Hewitt, he made large additions to his mills at Jonesville, and during the progress of the work received an injury, by a stick of timber falling upon and crushing one of his limbs, from the effects of which he never fully recovered. Previous to this, in 1834, his wife died, and a year later he was married to Miss Elizabeth M. Orton, of Albany, N. Y. He removed from White Pigeon to Jonesville in 1848, and made that place his permanent home. Mr. Baxter was prominently connected with the Whig party until the organization of the Free-Soil party, in 1848, when he enlisted in that movement, and was made their party candidate for the office of State senator. Receiving the endorsement of the Whigs, he was triumphantly elected over his Democratic competitor, Salmon Sharp, and earned in the Legislature the name of being one of its most ready and able debaters and most thorough parliamentarians. He was in reality one of the leaders of the Senate, and by his weight of influence and untiring zeal succeeded, in the face of strong opposition, in securing the passage of the Michigan Southern Railroad through Jonesville, and in this way secured to the village benefits that told largely on its subsequent growth, prosperity, and business importance. By his first wife he had ten children, five of whom are still living, and by his second wife seven, six of whom still survive. Two of his sons, Hon. Witter J. and Hon. Benjalmin L. Baxter, are well known as men of prominence in State affairs; and another, Henry, served with distinction in the Union army during the rebellion, rose to the rank of brigadier-general, was made a brevet major-general for meritorious services, and died in Jonesville, Dec. 30, 1873, of pneumonia. Mr. Baxter continued to live at Jonesville up to the time of his death, in 1862, and was widely known as a man of large discernment, great energy and resolution, and excellent judgment. In his opinions he was always decided, in carrying out his projects bold and unyielding. By these qualities he attained the social, political, and industrial influence which he possessed to so great a degree. HISTORY OF HILLSDALE CO
