See "Clinton County Trails", Volume 12, No. 1) «u»«b»Sander Pliny Pino«/u»«/b» My grandfather, Sander Pliny Pino, came to Essex Township in Clinton County, from Kent County in 1854. He married Julia Anna West in 1878, and they lived in a log cabin about a mile from the Lowe School and Church. To this marriage were born seven boys and one girl: Ivan, Floyd, J. Arthur, Ralph, Edna, Otto, Austin and Vernon. I remember my father, J. Arthur, telling us that the older ones slept in the loft and that they had to shake the snow from the bed covers before they arose. But it was a wonderful life, according to all accounts. They lived just across the fields from their Uncle Herman and Aunt Mary Ward who lived on Colony Road. There were many other relatives and friends living not too far away, some of whom have been written about in «i»The History of Clinton Co., Michigan«/i», published in 1980. They moved to a larger and much nicer farm in 1898 in Gratiot County. Perhaps the hardships which they endured in their earlier years imbued them with the fortitude and character needed to withstand the heartaches which were to follow. Floyd contracted typhoid fever and died. My father was also stricken with the disease and had to have a leg amputated just below the knee. This tragedy, however, may have transformed the lives of his younger siblings. He had always planned on being a farmer, but he had to face the fact that this would now be impractical for him. He enrolled in Ferris Institute and lived in the loft of a barn, taking care of horses in order to work his way through. Upon leaving, he became a life insurance agent for the Mutual Benefit Life Ins. Co in Big Rapids and then on to Owosso. It was here that he met his future wife in the Methodist Church where they were both actively involved. Within a year's time he moved to Lansing to become district manager. He inspired all of his younger brothers and one sister to further their education as much as possible, which they all successfully did. They became teachers, a doctor, a horticulturalist, and an engineer. They all helped one another to obtain these goals. My father traveled by horse and buggy during his early years as an insurance agent over much of his old stamping grounds, often staying at the Frank Anderson farm or with Jim Campbell. It was not unusual for him to fill in as a preacher, Sunday School teacher or leader of the Epworth League if he were called upon to do so as he traveled about. J. Arthur Pino and Addie E. Smith, a teacher, musician, poet and scholar, were married in 1911, and had six children: Ralph, Dorothy Sheap, James Robert, Harriet King and Edward. My husband, Stanley Sheap, and I have lived on Turner Toad in Clinton County for 48 years, only three miles away from where I grew up on Delta River Road. We have three children: Catherine, Robert and Rebecca, and three grandchildren, none of whom live in Clinton County.
