Individual Notes
• Their son Eber Ward Cottrell was the politician.
Eber Ward Cottrell patterned his life after that of Eber Brock Ward...very aggressively pursued wealth and the friendship of notable persons in late 1800 Detroit. A period of dynamic history in that city. A most fascinating search and study! [5010, p 1]
• He served as land commissioner for the Detroit, Mackinaw & Marquette Railroad Company from 1889 to 1921, member of State Legislature, two terms, 1879 and 1881, owned two fruit and livestock farms in Greenfield MI for many years. [5030]
