In 1869, when he was about seventeen years of age, his father purchased the Pioneer and in conjunction with the two sons, J.A. and William, began its publication. In 1875 the two purchased the father's interest and two years later the interest of William was bought by the present owner.
Mr. Trotter was clerk of the city from 1876 to 1880, was for four years a member of the Common Council and served six years on the Board of Education. He has been connected with the Tuscola County Agricultural Society for many years and that organization owes a measure of its popularity and success to Jim's good head work.
