CHAPTER XVI IN THE MEXICAN WAR Rupture Over Texas--United States Claims Unsettled--American Troops Move To The Frontier--War Declared--Response Of Michigan And Monroe County--Soldiers From Monroe County. One of the most important topics which claimed the attention of the administration of President James Knox Polk, the tenth President of the United States, was the annexation of Texas. On the last day of his official term, his predecessor, President John Tyler, had sent a messenger to the Texan government with a copy of the joint resolutions of the American congress in favor of annexation. These were considered by a convention of delegates called for the purpose of forming a state constitution for Texas; that body approved of the measure by resolution on July 4, 1845; on that day Texas became one of the states of the American union. Rupture Over Texas As had been foreseen and predicted, this act caused an immediate rupture between the United States and Mexico; for the latter claimed Texas as a part of its territory; notwithstanding the fact that its independence had been acknowledged by the United States, England, France and other governments. On March 6. 1845, congress had adopted the joint resolution for the admission of Texas into the union, General Almonto, the Mexican minister at Washington formerly protested against that measure and demanded his passports. On the 4th of June following, General Herrera, President of Mexico, issued a proclamation declaring the rights of Mexico and his determination to defend them--by arms, if . necessary. United States Claims Unsettled But independent of the cause complained of, there already existed a cause for serious disputes between the United States and Mexico. Ever since the establishment of...

One of the honored pioneers of Monroe county who long wielded a distinctive influence in connection with busi ness and civic activities in this favored section of the state was the late Benjamin Dansard, Sr., who settled in the city of Monroe in 1836, the year prior to the admission of Michigan as one of the sovereign states of the Union, and who here continued to reside until his death, more than half a century later. He was the founder of the banking house which still perpetuates his name and was recognized as a man of fine business ability, the while his urbane and kindly personality gained for him the confidence and high regard of all with whom he came in contact. He did much to foster industrial and civic development and progress in Monroe county, was a man of signal refinement and culture, and left an indelible impress upon the community in which he long maintained his home and in which his memory is held in enduring memory. Benjamin Dansard was born in Issoudun, France, September 12, 1813, and was thus seventy-five years of age at the time of his death, January 27, 1888. In his native land he was afforded the best of educa tional advantages, as it was the desire of his father that he should enter the priesthood of the Catholic church. Upon attaining to maturity, how ever, he decided that his tastes and predilections lay along other lines than those of an ecclesiastical order, and he was a young man when he came to America to win for himself a place of independence in connection with business activities. In 1836, when about twenty-four years of age, Mr. Dansard came to Monroe, and here he was engaged in the dry goods business for a number of years. In the early days he gave instruction in the French language to a number of classes, as he was a man of fine scholarship and especially well qualified for teaching in his native tongue. It may be noted that his first pupil was Dr. Osgood, who at tained to wide fame in the west through the introduction of Osgood 's Cholagogue, a remedy designed as a specific for all the prevalent fever and ague.
