	Report of the Pioneer Society of the State of Michigan
		James Birney died at Bay City, Tuesday, May 8, 1888, and in his death the 10th district loses one of its most cultivated, courteous and talented men.
		Birney had held many important offices, state and national, having been representative in the legislature from this district, lieutenant governor of the State, circuit judge, and minister pleniportentiary to the Hague, from 1876 to 1882.
		Judge Birney was not a popular man with the ragtag and bobtail elements of the g.o.p., as he did not get drunk, nor play cards in saloons, pack caucuses, or cultivate the bum elements; they thought him an aristocrat, but he was only a true, loyal, tender hearted gentleman, who could not play the demagogue.
