- [S59] Portrait and Biogeraphical Album of Oakland County, Michigan, pages 722-723 - John Lessiter, among the very prominent and influential farmers of Orion Township and indeed of the county of Oakland, we may mention the gentleman whose name heads this sketch. His elegant new home attracts the attention and claims the admiration of every one who passes through that region. His farm shows every mark of the management of a thorough farmer, and his splendid stock is the pride of the township. Short-horn cattle are his specialty, and in this line he is the pioneer breeder in the State, having been a practical student of this branch of farming for over thirty years. Our subject was born in Wiltshire, England, July 19, 1827. His father came to America in 1843, and settled near the village of Orion in Oakland County. He subsequently removed to Kent County, where he died in 1858. He was a devout member of the Church of England. His wife, Elizabeth, died in England. and he married a second time. He is the father of four sons, all of whom are living.
John Lessiter was raised on the farm and was sent to school summer and winter until about twelve years of age. His father kept him in a boarding school at one time, where he made great advancement, as he was very apt in learning. He did not come to America with his father, but when an older brother followed the father in 1847. They were six weeks in crossing the ocean. He went to work by the month in Orion Township. In a short time lie bought his employer's stock and proceeded to rent his farm for a term of years. He next rented a farm in the western part of the township, in partnership with another man. This was to be rented for three years, but in the meantime he purchased his partner's interest and managed it himself. He then rerented it for another three years. He purchased one hundred and twenty acres on section 7 in 1853. Only thirty acres of this had been broken; the remainder of it was all wild land. He built a farm-house and began clearing and improving it. Mr. Lessiter now found himself prepared to establish a home, and on New Year's day of 1852 he took to wife Nancy Beardslee, who was born in Independence Township, this county, in 1836. Her parents were from New Jersey, and were William and Lavina (Munson) Beardslee. They came to Michigan and settled in Oakland County at an early day. They are both now deceased.
Mr. and Mrs. Lessiter became the parents of six children: Libbie, the wife of Albert Hammond, residing on a farm in Independence Township; Edna, wife of Charles Walton, a farmer in Pontiac Township; Ida May, Mrs. William Anderson, wife of a farmer in Oakland Township; Frank H. and Floyd .1., both at home, and Maggie, who died at the age of two years and four months. To all these children the parents gave excellent school advantages.
Our subject has been a Democrat all his life, and is a leader among his fellowmen. He is a delegate frequently to county and district conventions, and has taken quite an active part in politics. He has been Justice of the Peace for eighteen years, and was Postmaster of Jersey for thirty years, which position he resigned in 1884. For eighteen years he has been an efficient member of the School Board. He is now an honored member of the State Agricultural Society, and has been placed upon the Executive Committee of that organization. The Oakland County Agricultural Society has felt his forming and helping hand for nearly twenty years. The confidence which his neighbors have in his character and ability has made him administrator of a number of estates. He is identified with the Grange, and has been a Mason for over thirty years.
The splendid farm of Mr. Lessiter is known far and wide. It comprises four hundred and thirty-six acres of fine land all in an excellent state of improvement. Its three large red barns and its elegant frame residence erected in 1884, attract the eye of the traveler. In stock-breeding he is notable throughout the State, having begun- raising and breeding registered Short-horn cattle in 1858. He has bred several fine prize winners, and sells every year many fine cattle. For some time past he has paid considerable attention to the breeding of Shropshire sheep. He started with nothing, and is now one of the wealthiest men in the township. and at the same time one of the most truly respected and influential citizens. Mrs. Lessiter deserves no small share of credit for her husband's success. She is a woman of ability and character, and one who willingly promotes the good of all in the community.
