    Notes:

    Harriett Risdon was born Sept 21, 1821 in LeRoy, NY and died 1903 at Saline. She had married Silas Mead in 1840. Silas was born March 17, 1812 in Greenwich, CT and was a nephew of Silas Finch, who operated a general store in Orange Risdon’s parlor. Silas Mead clerked for his uncle at one time. Both Harriett and Silas are buried in Oakwood Cemetery, Saline. (Clark)

    Silas and Harriett had a farm in Pittsfield Twp., where they lived for the first eleven years of their marriage.

    They then removed to New Orleans, LA, where Silas operated a shoe store. During the Civil War, he made oil-cloths for soldiers’ sacks; after the Union Soldiers took the city, he worked in the New Orleans Commissary Dept. for 4 years.

    Then, he came back to Washtenaw and farmed until his death. A letter that he sent to his sister Abigail in CT is archived at the Bentley Library in Ann Arbor. This letter has been transcribed and appears in Vol. 10 of Capers, the journal of the Genealogical Society of Washtenaw County.

    Harriett and Silas had four children. One son, Lewis Risdon Mead, figured highly in the family businesses that thrived in California. Their son, William, lived in the Risdon homestead until 1921, after which the house became the property of Blanche Mead, William's daughter.

    Later, the home was sold to a Saline nephew, Capt. William D. Mead, who moved the house to W. Henry Street, where it is still in use today as apartments. Blanche was present when the Historical Society of Washtenaw County dedicated her great grandfather’s home site in 1954. A memorial sign was erected at the time, but has since deteriorated.

    During his lifetime, Orange Risdon, Sr. allowed people to be buried on his farm. Thus, the burial grounds were started and later continued when William D. Mead sold 50 acres to the Village of Saline to enlarge the cemetery.
