re-elections served twenty-four years in that capacity. In 1863, in addition to the many public charges he held already, he was elected supervisor of the township and held that office for eighteen years. He also served six years as superintendent of the poor and twenty years as school director of Dearborn Township. From such a record, it is easy to determine the high regard in which he was held by the people of that section of the county, for he was not only possessed of unquestioned ability but was also a man of unimpeachable integrity. He was a Democrat in politics. When the first Roman Catholic Church was built in Dearborn, it was William Daly who hauled and hewed the timbers that went into its construction. He was noted for his genial disposition and his friendships were firm and lifelong. On November 26, 1842, he married Mary Lester, a native of Kilkenny, Ireland, who settled in Dearborn in that year, and to this union were born five children, John, James, Thomas, and Mrs. Gleason.

Clarence J. Daly, well known furniture dealer and funeral director of Dearborn, was born in that city, April 8, 1883, the son of James and Hannah (Ready) Daly and a grandson of William Daly, pioneer settler of Dearborn, of whom more may be found elsewhere in this work. John Ready, the maternal grandfather of Clarence J. Daly was born in Ireland and came to Wayne County, Michigan, in 1830, traveling thither from the coast by ox team and building a log cabin on his land after his arrival in the new home. His daughter, Hannah, mother of C. J. Daly, was born in Dearborn Township in 1847, and died in 1922. James Daly, father of Clarence J., was born in Dearborn Township, Wayne County, August 14, 1847, and still resides in that township. He and his wife became the parents of five children of whom four, Edwin W., Leo J., Clarence J., and Walter L. are still living. Clarence J. Daly obtained his education in the elementary and high schools of Dearborn and began his career in the Citizens Bank, later entering the employ of the Old Detroit National Bank. From 1906 to 1917, he worked with the Standard Oil Company but in the latter year returned to Dearborn to engage in the furniture and undertaking business for himself. Subsequently, his brother entered partnership with him. The company is one of the leaders in its field in Dearborn and has attained that eminence largely through the efforts of Mr. Daly. The present fine store building was occupied November 22, 1924, and the company carries a complete and varied line of furniture. On June 21, 1910, Mr. Daly married Alice Larkins, of Detroit, whose father was connected with the Michigan Central Railroad for many years, and to Mr. and Mrs. Daly were born two children, James F., whose birth occurred April 7, 1911, and Virginia I., who was born September 9, 1917. Mr. Daly takes an active part in the municipal affairs of Dearborn, where he now holds the office of city commissioner. He is a member of the Knights of Columbus and of the Dearborn Country Club.

Louis Buhl King, president of the L. B. King & Company, crockery and glassware concern of Detroit, comes of a family that was established in this country in 1756 by Robert King, who came from his native Ireland in that year to establish his home in Northumberland County, Pennsylvania. Robert King joined the American forces in the Revolutionary War, serving with the rank of first lieutenant and then captain. As a successful Indian trader, he exercised considerable influence over those tribes with whom he had dealings, and his assistance in making treaties with the tribesmen was frequently sought by the Government. For his services in these treaty negotiations, he was granted a large tract of land in Erie County, Pennsylvania, and there he made his home until his death, he being one of the first white settlers of that section of the Keystone State. He was buried at Waterford, Erie County. John King, his son, married Charlotte Lytle, and they became the parents of Robert W. King, who was born at Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, in October, 1821. Robert W. King was educated at Washington and Jefferson College and began his business career at Pittsburgh. In 1842, however, he came to Detroit, and here, in 1849, established the china and glassware business that is now conducted under the firm style of L. B. King & Company. He took a prominent part in the civic affairs of his community, for he became president of the Young Men's Society, served many years as foreman of the old Fifth ward volunteer fire company, was president of the Detroit Board of Education, was elected president of the Detroit Board of Estimates, and was one of the original trustees of Harper Hospital. His wife, Elizabeth (Buhl) King, was born in Butler County, Pennsylvania, and came to Detroit in 1836 to attend school and make her home with her brother, Frederick Buhl. Robert W. King died in December, 1897, and his widow died in February, 1911. Louis Buhl King, their son, was born in Detroit, December 4, 1851, obtained his elementary and preparatory education in the schools of this city, and then entered the University of Michigan, from which he graduated in 1874 with the degree of bachelor of science. Returning to Detroit, he entered his father's employ, and such was his ability and industry that he was admitted to partnership in 1878. The business grew steadily, so that incorporation became necessary in 1894, at which time the present name of L. B. King & Company was adopted and Mr. King was elected secretary. This office he retained until June, 1907, when he was elected president, an office that he has since held. Mr. King has consistently demonstrated since he first became associated with the firm that he is a business man of the highest attainments, and the success of the enterprise during the past half-century may well be attributed to him. At Greenwich, New York, March 14, 1883, Mr. King married Jennie Reed Carpenter, daughter of Benoni G. Carpenter, general agent of the Home Life Insurance Company of New York for thirty years. Mr. and Mrs. King became the parents of these

children: Dorothea B.; Ralph Benjamin, vice-president of L. B. King & Company; Robert Kent, who is also associated with that company; Janet Elizabeth, the wife of Captain H. P. Sheldon, of Washington, D. C.; and Francis C., a fruit grower of Cashmere, Washington, now connected with L. B. King & Company. Mr. King is a member of the Detroit Board of Commerce, Detroit Athletic Club, Sons of the American Revolution, and Delta Kappa Epsilon at the University of Michigan.

John A. Boyne, judge of the Recorder's Court at Detroit, was born at Marlette, Michigan, December 22, 1878. His father, George Boyne, was born in Scotland and subsequently settled in Canada, later removing to Michigan in 1868, where he pre-empted land and engaged in farming. He served as justice of the peace, school inspector, and treasurer of the school board, occupying the last-named position for a period of eighteen years, and he also held several township offices. He married Agnes Ida Jones, a native of Marlette, Michigan, and to them were born six children, Nelson, George, Charles, and Frank, all of whom live in Marlette, Edwin, who is principal in the high school at Manistee, Michigan, and John A., whose name heads this review. After graduating from the high school at Marlette, John A. Boyne read law in the offices of Judge D. Stuart McClure, continuing there until he came to Detroit. He completed his law studies at the Detroit College of Law, whence he graduated in 1901, and began practice in 1905 as an attorney in the employ of the Michigan Central Railroad, being connected with the office of Henry Russell, vice-president and general counsel of the road. He was engaged in that work until the death of Mr. Russell, which occurred February 25, 1920, at which time, Mr. Boyne returned to a general practice. Since 1920, Judge Boyne has held several offices of public trust, among them being those of commissioner of public works of Highland Park in 1925, a member of the Wayne County Board of Supervisors, and chairman for Highland Park as a member of the Wayne County Republican Committee. On November 20, 1925, he received from the hand of Governor Grosbeck the appointment to the bench of the Detroit Recorder's Court and was commissioned three days later. Since that time, Judge Boyne has shown himself to be one of the ablest judges of that court, for his fearless and impartial administration of justice has won him the confidence of the people and the respect and full co-operation of the members of the bar. On September 25, 1901, he married Juel Nesbitt, the daughter of William and Mary Jane Nesbitt, of Ottawa, Canada. As a York Rite and Scottish Rite Mason, Judge Boyne is past high priest of Peninsular Chapter, Royal Arch Masons, a member of the Michigan Sovereign Consistory, Monroe Council, Detroit Commandery No. 1 of the Knights Templar ,and Moslem Temple of the Mystic Shrine.

Joseph Henry Clark, of the law firm of Clark, Emmons, Bryant & Klein, has been practicing in Detroit since 1895, although he followed that profession ten years before he located in this city. He was born at Sandusky, Ohio, December 20, 1860, the son of Nelson and Sarah F. (Weller) Clark. After completing his high school work at Castalia, Ohio, Mr. Clark took a teacher's training course at Valparaiso University, after which he taught in Ohio three years and in Sanilac County, Michigan, four years.
