From History of Ionia County, Michigan:
"ISRAEL M. WOLVERTON.
I. M. Wolverton, from the town of Conquest, Cayuga
Co., N. Y., came to Michigan in 1848, and purchased forty
acres of land in the township of Eureka, Montcalm Co.
He remained there until 1863, holding the office of justice
of the peace one term, and in the year last named moved
to Orange township, Ionia Co., in the month of February,
purchasing one hundred acres on section 8. In the spring
of 1864 he assisted in organizing the Methodist Episcopal
Church of Orange, the second religious society in the town
ship, the Free- Will Bapti&ts having organized the previous
winter.
Mr. Wolverton's father, John Wolverton, was born at
Conquest, N. Y., Jan. 6, 1802, and in the spring of 1848
brought his family to Michigan, settling in Montcalm County,
where he died May 1, 1852. He had been twice married,
first to Miss Drusilla Christian, Dec. 6, 1822, having four
children by her, and second, Jane 10, 1829, to Betsy Beebe,
who bore him six children. Six children accompanied him
to Michigan. John Wolverton, during the administration
of Governor William C. Bouok, of New York, was guard
at the State penitentiary at Auburn.
Israel M. Wolverton was born at Conquest, Cayuga Co ,
N. Y., July 13, 1826, and came to Michigan with his father,
being the only survivor of the latter's children by his first
wife. He made some improvements on the forty acres he
had purchased, and in September, 1849, returned to Cayuga
Co., N. Y., and married Elsie Wackman, Sept. 1, 1850.
Her parents were natives of the county named. October
7th following, Mr. Wolverton brought his bride to Mich
igan. In November, 1862, he exchanged his first purchase
for one hundred acres of the farm he now owns, and pro
ceeded at once to put the latter in excellent shape. Sixty
acres have since been added to it, and one hundred and
twenty are under cultivation. Besides assisting in the for
mation of the first Methodist Episcopal Church in the township, Mr. Wrolverton aided in building the Le Valley church-edifice.
Politically, he was a Democrat of the Jeflcrsonian school,
although at present working with the Democratic party.
He is trustee, class-leader, steward, and recording steward
in his church, and has held also civil offices. His children
have been four in number,—viz., Drusilla A., born Oct.
5, 1851, now Mrs. Greorge W. Benedict, of Orange town
ship ; Sarah J., born Aug. 22, 1853, now Mrs. Emerson
F. Benedict, of same township; Elmer S., born May 19,
1855, married, June 1, 1877, to Miss Mattie Rankin, and
residing upon the home-farm ; and a son, born Jan. 14,
18—, and died January 19th. Miss Rankin's parents were
natives of Jefferson Co,, N. Y., and are now residents of
Belleville, Ontario, Canada. Mrs. Israel Wolverton united
at the same time with her husband with the Methodist
Episcopal Church, about 1857."
