History
2
Ed Cross and his wife, Edith, built this house, barn and granary in 1919. As a young man, Cross (1863 - 1938) spent several years working as a logger in Mackinac County before eventually returning to Spring Arbor. During the last fifty years of his life, he operated a sawmill, a cider mill and a threshing rig. He also served as township treasurer, as a highway commissioner, and on the Jackson County Board of Supervisors. In 1932, like many farmers during the Great Depression, he lost the farm to foreclosure.
