       WILLIAM HARTSUFF is a native of New York State, and was born January
       16. 1835. His parents, HENRY and RACHEL HARTSUFF, came to Michigan
       in 1842, when he was only seven years of age. He received his
       education in this State in the common schools and at Leona College,
       now Adrian College. In the spring of 1857, he came to Port Huron and
       engaged in teaching. Upon the breaking-out of the rebellion he had
       charge of the schools here, but resigned his position and raised a
       company in this county, which was mustered in the service as Company
       E, Tenth Regiment Michigan Volunteer Infantry, in command of Capt.
       HARTSUFF. The following spring the regiment landed at Shiloh, just
       after the battle at that place. He was with Gen. SHERMAN during his
       campaign to Atlanta, and was in the battles of Franklin and
       Nashville, in which his command took an active part. He was promoted
       to Lieutenant Colonel and made Inspector General of the Twenty-third
       Army Corps, and afterward promoted to rank of Colonel and appointed
       to the position of Inspector General of the Army of Ohio, and
       remained in the service until the close of the war. Every male
       member of his father's family served in the war. His father was in
       command of Fort Gratiot. His brother, the late Maj. Gen. GEORGE L.
       HARTSUFF, a graduate of West Point, achieved great distinction in
       the service. Very few of our great Generals made so brilliant a
       military record. Another brother, Dr. ALBERT HARTSUFF, now in
       Europe, is Surgeon in the regular service. Dr. DUNCAN, of Saginaw, a
       brother-in-law, was Surgeon of a Michigan regiment during the war.
       At the close of the war, while still in the field, Gen. HARTSUFF was
       appointed Postmaster at Port Huron, and after his return he assumed
       the active charge of its duties, and since then has held that
       position. He has been actively identified with the interests of the
       city and county. He was one of the incorporators of the narrow guage
       railroad, one of the original stockholders of the Port Huron Times,
       and has always been one of its Directors, and is now Vice President
       of the Commercial National Bank. Gen. HARTSUFF was united in
       marriage in 1858 to Miss ALBENAH LARNED, daughter of ASA LARNED, of
       this city. They have two daughters, NORA and GEORGIANA.
