Plot C
Homer and it Pioneers by William Lane 1888
Frederick R Hatch Sr born in Blandford, Hampden county Mass, of Irish Dutch descent., August 1803.
There he passed his boyhood days and in 1824 married Miss Mila A Hamilton, of East Grandville, the above county.
In May 1832 he set out for Michigan arriving here in Homer, or what was then known as Barneyville a few weeks later.
Mr Hatch was a house builder by occupation and was in charge in the erection of several of the first buildings in this place and also in the City of Marshall, among the latter might be mentioned the Dibble House now owned by Mr Getrell the Circuit Court stenographer.
In 1835 Mr Hatch sent for his family they being accompanied to Homer by the Hamilton's as has already been stated.
Mr Hatch met them in Detroit.
In 1837-38 Mr Hatch erected the Green Mountain House, now known as the Commercial for a public inn.
Having completed his hotel he went to Detroit where he purchased furniture for the same and upon returning was taken sick and died soon after arriving home, his death occurring Sept 12 of the latter year.
Stricken down in the prime of manhood leaving a wife and little ones in a land where they so much needed the care and support of a kind and industrious husband and father, but Mr Hatch left a noble wife, a kind energetic and loving mother to his children.
One of his children in speaking of her and of his father's death says. ? Our's was, indeed a sad sad house, thought surrounded by those whose great hearts poured forth sympathy for the sad and sorrowing we were left in unfavorable circumstances. My mother and six children were left to battle alone in this, our pioneer home, but out kind and loving mother, remarkable for her energy and perseverance, succeeded in rearing and educating us as well as the times and surroundings would admit?
Mrs Hatch was, indeed a noble woman her many acts of kindness were not confined to those who surrounded her own fireside, but extended to nearly every home throughout the village and no portrait in this little work will probably be scanted more closely by a great many than the one which so faithfully represents the features of her, whose noble life is worthy of a more extended notice than the pages of this little book will admit.
She for many years had been an active member of the M.E.Church, and passed to her reward, August 19. 1884.
Mr and Mrs Hatch had six children. Maitland W born 6/17/1826, Sarah A born 3/12/1828, Helen born 5/11/1830, Frederick R born 6/18/1832, James born 3/1834, Frances I born 5/20/1837.
