His ancestors have been for many generations people of culture and good standing, and his grandfather, Thomas Katon, was a farmer of Fairfield, Ohio.

Here he passed to his final rest March 4, 1881, his wife having died two years before, on December 8, 1879.
John Katon was instructed during his boyhood by his father, who was a man of unusual mental ability and attainments, and remained at
home until August 5, 1862, when he enlisted in Co. H, 18th Mich. V. I., Col. Doolittle and Capt. Ingersoll commanding. He participated in all the battles in which his regiment was engaged, and endured hardships and exposure from which his health ever suffered. He was discharged June 26, 1865, and returned to Michigan, and, after the removal of the family to this county, he continued to assist his father until 1869, when he bought twenty acres of land and began farming on his own account. He possessed naturally the energy and industry which ensure success. and gradually enlarged his farm until he owned seventy-nine acres of fine land with well-planned improvements.
His ill health, which dated back to his gallant service in the army, had of ate years been a source of anxiety, and on the a vice of his physicians he retired to Grand Rapids to seek freedom from responsibility and care.
