Person:Jennie Laferty (1)

Info from database of Greg Lambertson The father, Henty Laverty, was a native of New Jersey, and died at the age of eighty-six years in Spencer township, Kent county, Mich. He had resided some years in New York, and on coming to Michigan first lived in Jackson county, whence he removed to Grattan, then to Ada township, Kent county. In politics he was a republican, and in religion he and wife were dovout Methodists. Mrs. Permelia Laverty was also a native of New Jersey, and passed away in April, 1862, at the age of fifty-two years. Mrs. Jennie Lambertson was a child of five years when her parents located in Grattan township. She received a sound public-school education, and became one of the most successful teachers in Ionia, Kent and Montcalm counties, teaching about twenty-five terms, winter and summer, consecutively, two terms being in her home district after her marriage. Mr. and Mrs. Lambertson are Seventh Day Adventists in their religious faith, being members of the Trufant church, in the northern part of Spencer township. They have both been teachers in the Sabbath-school, and have contributed liberally of their means to the support of the school and church. It was in the spring of 1879 that Mr. and Mrs. Lambertson came to reside in Spencer township, and here they have since been greatly respected as upright, Christian residents. In the fall of 1894 they erected their comfortable farm residence. Mrs. Lambertson's father was the owner of this property, but she, during her noble career as a school teacher, contributed greatly toward its improvement, as well as to the care of her venerable father in his declining years; and Mr. Lambertson has found in her a truly valuable and willing helpmate. In politics Mr. Lambertson was originally a democrat and cast his first presidential vote for Horatio Seymour, but latterly he has supported the republican policy, and he and wife are earnest advocates of the cause of temperance. They are classed among the better citizens, are ardent friends of the public schools, and desire to have the township attended by the best and most competent teachers that the school fund will justify employing.
