  Notes	[Ketchum Family.FTW] Wires Ketchum bought 80 acres or more from the Grand Rapids and Indiana Railroad Company, October 30, 1878.  The land is located 1 3/4 miles east of Ashton, MI on what is now called 11 Mile Rd.  Wires was 26 years old when he bought the land.  He and his wife Louisa raise their children, and later helped to raise their grandchildren there.  Purchase of land was made, October 13, 1878. When Wires died, he went out to the barn to milk the cow.  When he didn't come back in, one of the family went out and found him where he had tumbled off the stool and died.  This information supplied to Linda Ketchum Londo by Austin Halladay, neighbor of Wires and Louisa.  Wires lived 61 years, 11 months and 9 days.  Cause of death, apoplexy.
