Note: Dennis and I verified this stone in person

Note: Josiah and his wife were one of thirteen couples that started
the Baptist Church in Fowler, New York on January 30, 1822. The
Church was down to seven members in 1876 and stopped holding
services. In 1852 Josiah was Overseer for the Poor in Ottawa
County.
He remained in Rhode Island till about 21 years of age, and
then removed to St. Lawrence Co, NY. In 1845 the family
journeyed to Michigan and settled in Coopersville, Wright
Township.
In his younger days he was a millwright and mechanic, later
gave his entire attention to agriculture, and when he came to
Michigan bought a farm of one hundred and twenty acres all wild
and wooded land. There were no ??? roads leading to it, and the
country was very new, most of the business in that part of the
state being done in Grand Rapids. There were then only six
families in the settlement, and the homestead of the father lay
out a little distance from Coopersville, the land all about
being densely covered with a growth of pine and hemlock.
He served bravely in the War of 1812, and after a life of busy
industry passed away in 1863.
