He was one of the almost countless number whom the East has sent to build up the West. As a rule, this influx was composed of men like General Williams, young, full of energy, scant in material resources, relying upon the talent nature has conferred, upon habits of industry primitive New England so wonderfully fostered, with the keen sense of independ- ence and self-reliance which so characterize the Anglo-Saxon race. The pioneers of the West were a hardy race ; not heroic, perhaps, in 30 ADDRE...SS OF MR. WILLITS ON THE the sense the poets sing, but their lives and labors were truly heroic. Their sturdy toil, wise forethought, patient willingness to build that others might enjoy; their sacrifice of present ease that they might found a home for their children and give them the culture and advan- tages denied to themselves; all these, and more that time forbids us to mention, furnish subjects for the consideration of statesmen and the meditation of poets. At the time our deceased colleague landed in Detroit, the woods of Michigan were full of just such men, who were slashing the sturdy oak and turning up the virgin soil to the sun; who were plowing and planting, clearing and building; men who like him had left homes of culture and many social advantages for the log cabin to be found only by following the blazed trees; for a social intercourse limited to "raisings" and "frolics" by the burning log-heaps in the clearings, or the grand old blazing fire-place that threw a ruddy glow upon the joyous, rustic scene.
