B.H. Custer was elected mayor of Eaton Rapids in April, 1908
He married Laura A. Rogers on July 30, 1884, in Orange Township, Ionia County.
Their son was Henry Custer, born May 8th, 1890 and died June 12, 1950 in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Henry married Ethel Haner,(Jan 16, 1891—July 2, 1976) who was from Eaton Rapids
As mayor, Custer solved the drinking problem in town by posting a list of 30 prominent over-indulgers in the five saloons, warning of the sale of liquor to them. It caused quite a rumpus but stopped the habitual drunkards from reeling about the streets. He also ordered the nickel-in-the-slot machines back in the storerooms.
He was a quiet, unassuming man, but with a determination to put duty as a public official ahead of personal gain. His policy as mayor did not help his business but the offensive scenes of drunkenness about town were stopped.
He lived and worked at 207 S. Main. He owned three different businesses in town; Custer and Norton's, Custer and Roger's Shoes, and The Right Place were two of them.
