ABSTRACT
Samuel Tizzard is a good example of the English immigrants who were early leaders in American publishing and local politics. William B. Tizzard, the well known citizen of Eaton, and eldest son of Judge Samuel Tizzard, was born in Philadelphia, December 6, 1813. He was between seven and eight years of age when he came with his parents to Eaton. After the decease of his father he became the editor and proprietor of the Register, and maintained in his management of the paper its former high standard. Mr. Tizzard, following in the footsteps of his father, is a Universalist in religion, and a Republican in politics, having been connected with the party from its organization, and previous to its formation being a Whig. He takes only such interest in politics as is consistent with good, intelligent citizenship, and has always shunned rather that sought political preferment.
