The well-tilled farm of Mr. Christie invariably attracts the attention of the passing traveler on account of its fine location, being situated on section 14, Tompkins Township, and also the industry and good management which has unquestionably characterized its operation. The proprietor is one of those men who have aided in building up for Jackson County its enviable reputation among the communities of Southern Michigan, and his name is therefore eminently worthy of mention among those which it is sought to perpetuate in connection with this work. A native of Oneida County, N. Y., Mr. Christie was born January 17, 1845, and six years later was brought to this county by his parents, James and Mary A. (Patterson) Christie. The father of our subject upon coming to Michigan purchased the land since constructed into the farm occupied by his son, and which on this account possesses for the latter a far more than moneyed value. Here the parents spent the remainder of their days, the mother passing; away June 26, 1877, and the father in 1884. They had endured all the hardships and privations of life on the frontier, and made for themselves a good record as people kind, hospitable and worthy, and have thus left a heritage to their children which the latter may hold of more value than silver or gold. Young Christie as soon as old enough commenced assisting his father in the cultivation of the new farm, and was thus occupied with the exception of the time spent at school until after the outbreak of the Civil War, On the 25th of August, 1862, leaving the farm he enlisted as a Union soldier in Company E, Third Michigan Cavalry, and served until June, 1865. He participated in many of the important battles which followed, and escaping wounds and imprisonment returned safely to his father's house with his honorable discharge. He then occupied himself in farming, working out by the month until his marriage. This important and interesting event was celebrated on Christmas Day, 1867, the bride being Miss Martha J., daughter of Louis and Jane (West) Darling. Soon afterward Mr. Christie purchased a farm near that which he now owns and occupies, where he resided until after the death of his mother. He then purchased the old homestead of ninety acres, and now has an estate of two hundred and eighty acres, and has resided thereon continuously since that time. To him and his estimable wife there have been born four children, namely: Horace E., Mary J., Adelbert S. and Lena B. The parents of Mrs. Christie were natives respectively, of Massachusetts and New York.
