Bartlett Woods
Bartlett Woods May 25, 1836, Honorable
Bartlett WOODS left London, England. He landed at New York and came
to Michigan City in August. In March, 1837, he made a claim in Lake
County, on which he commenced improvements in the spring of 1838. He
married the daughter of Samuel Sigler, also an early settler. With
the exception of two years spent in Chicago, he has been a
continuous resident on his farm. He holds for it, as a claim, one of
the very few claim-entry certificates now to be found. For a number
of years, being intelligent, talented, and a ready speaker, he has
been a prominent man in the community. He held for two terms the
office of County Commissioner. He was our representative at
Indianapolis in the State Legislature in 1861 and again in 1865. For
the last three years he has been President of the Agricultural
Society.
