Gilbert A. Eidson
The land of Oronoko township is cultivated by a class of citizens whose industry and enterprise have converted it into a rich agricultural district, yielding returns for the care and labor bestowed upon it, and among the wide-awake, progressive farmers within it's borders is numbered Gilbert A. Eidson, who lies on section 10. He was born in this township, March 22, 1851, and is the eldest of a family of ten children, eight sons and two daughters. of the number two died in infancy, while eight are still living. The parents were William B. and Hattie (Weaver) Eidson, the former a native of Virginia, and the latter of Ohio. Mr. Eidson spent his boyhood days in the Buckeye State and came to Berrien County, Michigan, in 1835, when twenty-one years of age, casting his lot with the pioneer settlers of this country, for southwestern Michigan was then in the initial stages of it's development, the work of reclamation having scarcely been begun, for the indians still visited the neighborhood and indicated the proximity of the country to the primitive condition when the white man was unknown within it's borders. Mr. Eidson began working by the month and later carried on farming on his own account. He lived for some time upon a farm in Oronoko township, and afterward engaged in the livery business in Berrien Springs for a number of years. In the winter seasons he engaged in the manufacture of brooms and thus led a life of industry, which constituted the source of his success. He died in Berrien Springs in his eighty-third year, and his wife departed this life when more than seventy-six years of age. Their deaths occurred within twenty-four hours of each other, and thus the worthy couple who had long traveled life's journey together were separated for but a brief period by the grim reaper. The surviving members of the family are Hattie, Frances, John L., Edward D., William, George, Herbert and Gilbert A. Of this family John L. is a resident farmer of Oronoko township.Gilbert A. Eidson was reared in Oronoko township near Berrien Springs and attended the public schools of the village. His youth was passed on his fathers farm and he assisted in it's improvement until he attained his majority, when he began farming on his own account. He was married August 12, 1877, to Miss Emeline Morrow, a daughter of W.T. and Mariette (Carey) Morrow. The father was a native of New Jersey, born March 10, 1807, and died June 19, 1880. He was a merchant and late in life and agriculturist. He was a well educated man and was a Democrat in his political views. He and his wife were devout members of the Methodist Church. The mother was a native of New Jersey, born February 3, 1819, and died October 13, 1887. They were both reared in New Jersey. Mrs. Eidson was born in New Jersey, June 19, 1853 and brought to Berrien County when about eight years of age. She was educated in the common schools of her township, and also attended the Lady's Seminary in Madison, New Jersey, and the High School at Fairplains, near Benton Harbor. She engaged in teaching school between the ages of sixteen and twenty-four years and was recognized as one of the capable educators of this part of the State. She followed that occupation for eight years, three at Berrien Springs, and during all that long period only taught in five different places. Unto Mr. and Mrs. Eidson have been born three children: Gilberta May was educated in the common schools and was also a student in the Berrien Springs high school and the Niles high school. Her husband, William Judd, is a mechanic of Elkhart, Indiana. Walter H. received a diploma at Berrien Springs in 1898, at the age of sixteen years. He then entered Benton Harbor high school and afterward spent two years in Albion College. Arthur is now a student in the Berrien high school, member of class of 1907. He will then enter college. Mr. and Mrs. Eidson have given their children the benefit of a good education. It was in the year 1899 that they erected their beautiful country residence, which is modern in style of architecture and neatly and cozily furnished, which makes one of the model homes of the township. The pretty country seat is known as Maple Villa. They have two of the old fashioned coverlets which are close to a century old.
The farm comprise's eighty acres devoted to general farming and fruit raising. there are four hundred pear trees upon the place and other good fruit, and in the cultivation of his orchards as well as his fields Mr. Eidson has displayed excellent business ability and competent understanding. In his early years he gave his political allegiance to the Republican party, but now a stanch Prohibitionist. His wife is a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church and he is identified with the Ancient Order of United Workmen at Berrien Springs. In all life's relations he has shown himself to be an honorable and straightforward man, worthy of the trust of his fellow citizens, and his years of labor have been crowned with a measure of prosperity that now makes him a substantial resident of his native township.
