    Notes 
    • From "Portrait And Biographical Album of Osceola County" Chapman Brothers, 1884, pg 238 -
            "Frayer Halladay, merchant at Ashton, is a son of George and Mary (White) Halladay, who were natives of the Dominion of Canada, married and settled in Leeds Co.,Ont. Mr. George Halladay remained in Canada, until the fall of 1870, when he came to Osceola County and settled in Lincoln Township, where he still is a resident. He had a family of eight children, named in the following order:   Frayer, Nancy, Samantha, Adella, Annetta, Ida, Wright and Burton.
             The subject of this biographical outline was born in Leeds Co., Ont., Oct. 15, 1846, and received as he grew up a common-school education, remaining at home until 18 years of age, after which he attended the commercial college at Hamilton, Ont., for three months.  On leaving home he went to New York State and "worked out" one summer, and then returned to his father's in Canada.  Soon afterward he went to Wentworth County, in the Dominion, where he was employed two years as engineer in a saw-mill.  In the spring of 1869 he came to Michigan and remained at Grand Rapids until the following fall, when he came to Osceola County and took possession of 80 acres of Government land in Wexford County, but did not finally "prove it up."  The following spring he opened a general store at Ashton, where he now keeps a stock of merchandise in all the branches suited to the demands of the country. His is the largest store in the place, and he enjoys an extensive patronage, doing a business of about $25,000 yearly.  Besides, he owns 760 acres of land most of which is located in Lincoln Township.  He has about 80 acres under cultivation.  Until May, 1884, his father, George Halladay, had an interest in the store, and the firm was known as "Halladay & Son." During the month named Mr. H. bought out his father's interest, and thenceforward has carried on the business alone.
            Mr. Halladay has held the office of Supervisor of Lincoln Township for five years, being re-elected to the position in the spring of 1884. He has also held the position of Township Treasurer three years, and all the minor official trusts in the town.  In his views of political affairs he is a Republican, and since April, 1877, he has been Postmaster of the village of Ashton.
           He was married at Mound City, Ill, Nov. 30, 1875, to Miss Elizabeth McIllmurry, who was born in Canada.  To Mr. and Mrs H. have been born three children, namely: Grace M., LeRoy W. and Eva." [1]
