Clarendon Pioneer recounts the eccentric life of Barr Bartlett
A biographical sketch from Lemuel Bradley portrays Barr Bartlett as a tall, erudite Michigan settler who arrived in the Clarendon area in the 1840s. He wore a peculiar outfit, preached nature’s laws, owned a library of eminent science works, and mixed sharp wit with stubborn justice. Bartlett fought a long chancery case over river land and boasted a lineage tie to Gov Keith, while maintaining a memorable, if idiosyncratic, character in early Clarendon society.
