From History of Shiawassee and Clinton Counties, Michigan, 1880.
"Returning to mention of Welcome J. Partelo, it is of interest to mention that he raised the pioneer crop of wheat in the town and set out the first orchard, and that De Witt [Dwight] C. Partelo, his son, born in 1837, was the first born in Victor. William Swarthout, supposed generally to have been the first, was the second, the date of his birth being August, 1838."
From the biography of Welcome J. Partelo in the History of Gratiot County, Michigan by Willard D. Tucker, 1913.
"Welcome J. Partelo, the first supervisor of Bethany - 1858 - came to that township in 1855. He came from the Township of Victor, Clinton County, in which township he was the first white settler. A history of Clinton County issued in 1880 contains this interesting item: "At that time -1836 - one Welcome J. Partelo effected on the southwest quarter of section 31 the pioneer clearing. Although he did not discover his error until some years afterward, he settled upon land belonging to other parties, but adjoining his own. Unconscious of his mistake he worked and improved that place, set out an orchard, and very materially enhanced its value, when there came to him the knowledge one day that he had been improving another man's land while his own had all that time been suffered to lie neglected. Partelo was of course chagrined and much disgusted with the revelation fell upon him, but as he was fortunately permitted to purchase the property at the price of unimproved land, he escaped from the dilemma with considerable satisfaction, and continued to make his home where had begun. Mr. Partelo was chosen the first supervisor of DeWitt Township, Clinton County, which included at that time - 1837 - the present Township of Victor. Clinton County was at that time attached to Kent County, and Mr. Partelo met with the Kent County supervisors at Grand Rapids. He was re-elected in 1838, and as Clinton County had by that time been transferred to Shiawassee County, Mr. Partelo met with the Shiawassee supervisors at Corunna. In 1839 Victor was organized as a separate township, and Mr. Partelo was chosen school inspector, and the next year, justice of the peace. After removing to Bethany and serving as first supervisor in 1858, he served as township clerk and highway commissioner in 1859. He died in the year 1863. His son, Welcome Phineas Partelo, was a well-known resident for many years, and held the offices of justice of the peace and highway commissioner. He died August 4, 1895, aged 78. Mrs Amelia J. Partelo, his wife, died September 26, 1906.".
