Title: History of the Malbone Family by Dr. M. E. Bishop.

South Haven, July 20.

I will try to give you a history of the people that came to this town

from Essex Co. I will, for certain reasons, begin, with the Malbones

who came from Wilmington.

Solomon Malbone who died here last year at the advanced age of 84 left

Wilmington in either 1842 or 1843. He came first to Columbus, Ohio,

and purchased a farm a few miles from the city, and lived there till

1875 working the farm, and following his trade as a mason.

When he came here he bought a small farm two miles south of the

village and worked a part of the time at his trade.

He had three sons and his oldest son John learned his father's trade.

They built the foundation and cellar under the house I bought as this village

was when I came here a sawmill town and but few buildings had

foundations except wooden blocks.

John Malbone bought some land near his father's place. He

cleared it and went to raising fruit, principally strawberries at first.

He was so successful with the berries that the net profits for several

years were $3000 a year. Then he bought twenty acres more of land

and set it all out to strawberries. But strawberry culture was overdone,

the finest kinds brought only half a dollar a case of sixteen quarts.

Then Mr. Malbone mortgaged his farm, came to Town and went into

the hardware business, leaving his four sons to run the farm. He did

so well that the sons are now all in town with their father in business

under the firm name of Malbone and Sons.

They own one of the finest blocks in town, 75 feet front, and three stories high.

It is divided into three parts. The middle part for general hardware, one part for

stoves, tin and hollow ware, and one part on the other side for furniture

and house furnishing.

The old gentleman, Solomon Malbone, always took the Essex County Republican

and when he and his wife came into town she would call on us and

bring a copy of the paper. I shall send the old lady a copy of the Post

and Gazette once in a while
