At the same time, they pride themselves upon its originality of design and\\ntasty execution not being altogether blind, however, to its defects. Doubtless\\nerrors will be found, whicii, to some may seem almost inexcusable but wliere\\nthey occur the public may rest assured that they are not the result of careless-\\nness on the part of the publishers. It can be safely said tliat no book of the\\nkind was ever publislied which was free of errors. In collating the historical\\nmatter great care was taken to draw the information from the most reliable sour-\\nces. As you glance throug* the liistory of your township or city, or any tovvn-\\naliip witli whose liistory you claim to be acquainted, do not hastily pro-\\nnounce statements errors until you are confident that you are correct and the\\nhistorian wrong; but remember that some one equally as well informed as you,\\nin regard to the general tacts, has stated otherwise. In a number of instances,\\nthe histories of particular townships have been written by residents, who have\\ntaken great pains to collect facts into the form in which they ajipear. To this\\ndiversity of authorship may be attributed the repetitions which occur in some of\\nthe sketches similar thoughts in regard to the sufferings and privations of the\\npioneers being in the minds of all.\\nThe publishers are well aware that a work of this kind, relating, as it does,\\nfacts with which purchasers are themselves acquainted, will meet with more or\\nless criticism. Knowing this, they have left no stone unturned which would\\nassist in making the book what the prospectus represented it would be. Besides\\nusing every precaution to avoid errors in the matter promised, they have even\\nadded to its appearance and utility a very pretty map of the State, which was\\nengraved expressly for this work.\\nThe book purports to contain the name of every man in the county (of twenty-\\none years of age and upwards) outside of Grand Rapids city, and of every widow", "height": "3122", "width": "1877", "jp2-path": "historydirectory00dil_0009.jp2"}, "10": {"fulltext": "HISTORY AND DIRECTORY OF KENT COUNTY.\\nowning real estate. The canvassers were instructed to call at every house, and\\nto be as thorough as a census taker.\\nThe names were copied, compared, and arranged in every instance before thoy\\nwere placed in the hands of the printer; and where a question arose in the mind\\nas to the correct name, or mode of spelling, it was referred to the canvasser.\\nNumerous advertisements have been inserted, but in no instance in a man-\\nner that can be made just cause of complaint. The history is complete in itself,\\nand only here and there have advertisements been placed in the directory mat-\\nter, and even then uniformly on the right hand page. Further, the advertise-\\nsients are from the best business firms in the county, and if carefully noted, will\\nprove of great value to purchasers.\\nIt has been customary to prepare Directories of cities exclusively, while there\\nhas been even greater need of Directories of counties and farming territory. The\\npublishers intend to make this the first of a series of like publications, in this and\\nother States, and, while they hope to increase their facilities for preparing even\\nbetter books than the present, they trust this will not only meet the present de-\\nmand in this locality, but be preserved as a book containing an account of the\\nsufferings, trials, and achievements of tlie pioneers of Kent county.\\nThe generous patronage and cordial co-operation of all classes of the com-\\nmunity have fully justified the publishers reliance on their intelligence and publie\\nspirit and they are under obligations, in every town, to the township officers\\nand old residents for historical and statistical information, always eheerfuUy\\nfurnished.\\nGkand Rapids, Mich., Nov. 21, 1870.", "height": "3122", "width": "1877", "jp2-path": "historydirectory00dil_0010.jp2"}, "11": {"fulltext": "INDEX TO ADVERTISERS.\\nPAGK.\\nAikin N.

D. 1836. It was at that time\\nvery thinly populated, fifteen years only having elapsed since the first white set-\\ntler placed his foot upon its soil. Rix Robinson came in the year 1821, and re-\\nmained several years almost entirely alone, trading with the Indians. In 1826,\\nUncle Louis Campau settled here, and from that time forward the county has\\nbeen steadily settling up.\\nThe soil of Kent, considered as a whole, is not as good as that of some of its\\nneighbors; however, it possesses some of the finest and most productive farms in\\nthe State. Some individual townships in the county possess as much good\\nland as can be found anywhere within a limit of thirty-six square miles. But in\\nthe northern part of the county especially, there is much poor land, the timber\\nbeing chiefly pine.\\nIts railroad facilities within a few years have become quite good, and, we are\\nhappy to say, are still improving. The Detroit Milwaukee Railroad passes\\nthrough the entire county, from east to west, having stations at Grand Rapids,\\nLowell and Ada. The Kalamazoo Division of the Lake Shore Michigan South-\\nern Railroad comes in from the south, passing through the townships of Byron\\nand Wyoming, and has the following stations: Eagle Mills, Grandville, Scudder\\nand Byron Center, with a northern terminus at Grand Rapids.\\nThe Grand Rapids Indiana Railroad passes through the entire length of the\\ncounty, from north to south, and has the following stations: Cedar Springs,\\nBurchville, Edgerton, Rockford, Child s Mills, Whitney, North s Mills and Grand\\nRapids, thereby opening up the northern part of the county, whence come most\\nof the lumber and logs in this section. This road has recently been completed\\nbetween Fort Wayne and Grand Rapids.\\nThe Grand River Valley Division of the Michigan Central Railroad comes in\\nfrom the south, and passes through the townships of Caledonia, Gaines and\\nParis, with a northern terminus at Grand Rapids. This road has the following\\nstations: Hammond, Paris and Caledonia.\\nThe villages in the county are all small with the exception of Lowell and Rock-\\nford; the former having a population of 1503, and the latter 582. Both of these\\nare thrifty, go ahead places, and are rapidly building up.\\nGrand River enters the county on its east line, and meandering north-westerly\\nand south-westerly, touches in its course eight townships and passes out a little\\nsouth of a point directly opposite of the place of entrance. At the rapids, in\\nthe City of Grand Rapids, it furnishes an immense water power, which has been\\nconsiderably improved.\\nThornapple River forms a junction with the Grand at the village of Ada, the\\nFlat River at the village of Lowell, and the Rouge River at Austerlitz (formerly\\nPlainfield.)\\nThis sketch being intended simply as an introduction, we will leave the more\\nparticular history of the county to be treated under the head of the several\\ntownships.", "height": "3122", "width": "1877", "jp2-path": "historydirectory00dil_0023.jp2"}, "24": {"fulltext": "20 HISTORY AND DIRECTORY OF KENT COUNTY.\\nADA.\\nAda township is centrally located in the county being bounded on the north\\nby Cannon, on the east by Vergennes, on the south by Cascade, and on the west\\nby Grand Rapids. It was named, it is said, after a highly respected lady by\\nthe name of Ada Smith, who then resided in the township.\\nUnfortunately the records of the township are not now in existence previously\\nto the year 1835, which, however, must have been soon after the date of its orga-\\nnization.\\nThe township of Ada originally embraced a large tract of country, including\\nseveral of what are now the adjacent towns. It was of Ada as it then existed,\\nthat Rix Robinson, Esq., was elected the first supervisor. The first entry upon\\nthe records, under date of 1835, is to the efi ect that Norman Smith was elected\\nsupervisor by one majority, he receiving in all thirty-two votes.\\nSupposing that he had but one competitor, as he probably had, we estimate\\nthe whole number of votes sixty-three. Just think of it In an extent of terri-\\ntory where there were at the last election at least one thousand votes polled,\\nthirty-five years ago they could muster but sixty-three. Picture in your mind the\\nsights of a town meeting during those times. Here they come, one by one,\\nfrom the different points of the compass, hard-working, honest men. It is a\\ngala day with them. They meet perhaps for the first time in months. They go\\nearly and stay late. They urge their brief political campaign in their homely\\nway.

For a long\\ntime he was engaged in the fur trade with the Indians on Grand River. Alone\\nhe traversed the forests, and paddled his own canoe, surrounded with savages\\nby nature, and sometimes by deed, but he remained unmolested by them.\\nThe spirit of the natives had already been somewhat subdued by the influence of\\nChristianity, and itinerant missionaries were then laboring among them. A tribe\\nof these Indians remained on sections six and seven of the present township of\\nAda, until about the year 1860 or 61, when they sold their lands, and removed\\nto Pentwater. During the latter years of their residence on these lands, they\\ncultivated the soil, built respectable dwellings, had well organized schools and\\ncomfortable churches. They were of the Roman Catholic faith.\\nMr. Rol^inson, or Uncle Rix, as he is familiarly called, during his sojourn\\nand life among the Indians, became quite attached to them so much so that he\\ncliose one of their daughters as his partner for life, with whom he now lives.\\nThey have but one son, and he is well known throughout Grand River Valley as an\\nenergetic business man.\\nThe life of the pioneer is fraught with toil, and peril, and actual sufteriug.

The\\nnortheastern jjart is still almost an unbroken pine forest, with but little other\\ntimber.\\nAs may be inferred from the timber, there is a great variety of soil. We were\\ntold by one man that he could show as great a diversity of soil on twenty acres\\nof his farm, as could be found in the State. There is scarcely any swampy land\\nin the township.\\nThe south part along the river is very much broken, some of the hills being\\nvery steep, and nearly a hundred feet above the level of the land along the\\nstreams. This is chiefly a sandy or clay soil, intermixed with stone and gravel.\\nIn the remaining portions, those parts which are timbered with beech and\\nmaple are usually a fine, rich loam, and the parts which are exclusively timbered\\nwith pine are generally sandy.\\nWc commenced our general description by describing the timber, as that has\\noeen more valued in the past than has the soil but as the timber is being rapidly\\ntaken off, more interest is now taken in the latter.\\nAt first it was bought in large tracts by speculators, who generally hold it\\nuntil the pine can be culled, and all of the best taken off; then it is sold out in\\nsmaller parcels to actual settlers. At one time. J. B. Chipman, of the State of\\nNew York, owned nearly a thousand acres of land, chiefly timbered with pine,\\nin the northeast corner of the township. In 1854, his son, Walter Chij)man, a\\nlawyer by profession, came to look at the land, and, becoming enamored of\\nbackwoods life in Michigan, settled here, where he still remains, a much\\nesteemed citizen.\\nSome years previous to coming hither, Mr. Chipman, being obliged, by a de-\\ncline in his health, to give up his profession, joined a regiment of soldiers just\\nstarting out for our Western coast, and when he was discharged, remained as a\\npioneer in California. He was a member of the Convention which framed the\\nConstitution of that State when it was admitted into the Union. Returning to\\nNew York, he spent some time with his friends, then went to Vermont, where\\nhe engaged in teaching for a year, and at last came here as before stated and\\nbecame a pioneer in this township. I say pioneer, for although the south part\\nhad been settled eleven years, the north part was very new when he came. His\\nbrother J. B. Chipman, Jr., came on some years later,\\nAndrew House, who was one of the first settlers of Plainfield, as well as\\nAlgoma, owned, at one time, 700 acres of pine land, in the east part of the town-\\nship.\\nJohn Almy, of Grand Rapids, also owned several hundred acres in the north\\nand northwest.

This uniformity is\\ncaused by its being so short that it is hardly afi ected by heavy rains.\\nIn the northwest part of this township, and on the adjoining sections in the\\nsouthwest corner of Solon, and the northeast corner of Sparta, are a number of\\nsmall lakes, among which are the following\\nCamp Lake is a long, narrow lake, nearly one mile in length, situated in the\\nwest part of Algoma, on sections seven and eighteen.

Colton, A. B. Toms, Thompson Kasson, Joseph Hipler, John Ellis, Edward\\nWheeler, Hervey Wilder, Joseph BuUen, Moses Ramsdell, John J. Downer,\\nHiram Stevenson, Artemus Hilton, Henry S. Church, Charles Anderson, Francis\\nGreenley, and the Boyds, Denisons, Meads, Brewers, Davenports, and Cordes, all of\\nwhom came before 1850; and most of them yet remain to enjoy the fruits of their\\nearly labors and sufi erings.\\nMany and varied were the privations endured by these early settlers. We who\\nhave never been pioneers cannot fully appreciate the sufferings, the trials, and\\nhardships which were their lot. Think of a journey to Grand Rapids with an ox\\nteam, over rough roads, with a grist for the mill of a return in the night with its\\nmany perplexities, now and then losing the indistinct road, with a consequent\\ndelay of an half hour; of finding trees blown across the way, preventing further\\nprogress until they have been removed by the use of the ax, and so on through\\nthe list.\\nAgain imagine the loneliness of a {amily coming from a thickly settled part of\\nthe country, and making a home in the wilderness, with no actual neighbors;\\nwith no schools; with no churches; and in fact witli no associations except those\\nof their own fireside.

The round of duties consumes each day but the Sabbath, which is to\\nthem indeed a day of holy rest.\\nWe would not wish to be understood to intimate that there are no enjoyments\\nconnected with such a life, for downright satisfaction is always the result of\\nmanly toil. Situated, as the pioneer is, in an unbroken forest, with every stroke\\nof the ax, and with every eflfort made toward improvement, he seems to be hew-\\ning out a little world of his own. Every acre added to the cleared space adds\\nmore than its proportionate amount of pleasure to the soul of the laborer. He\\nlooks forward to the time when his broad acres shall be seen clothed with the\\nrich yellow grain of a plenteous harvest. He walks by faith and not by sight.\\nThe sweet bye and bye is anticipated, and that is what incites him to labor\\nand to endure.\\nThen again much pleasure is found in the little visits which they arc occasion-\\nally favored with. That peculiar community of feeling which is the characterisuc\\nof persons in depressed circumstances, is enjoyed by pioneers, and early settlers,\\nin an unusual degree. There is a mutual dependence of one upon another, felt\\nby everybody and this never fails to beget a spirit ot iiiendship between them.\\nORGANIZATION.\\nAlpine Avas united with the township of Walker, until the year 18-47. Its first\\nindependent townshi}) meeting was held at the School House in the southeast\\ncorner of the township, on the 5th day of April, 1847; which resulted in the\\nelection of the following named persons as officers Supervisor, Edward Wheeler\\nClerk, C. D. Shenich; Treasurer, Casper Cordes Justices, Wm. H. Withey, John\\nCoffee, John Colton, and John Tuxbury. The next annual meeting was held at\\nthe house of Edward Wheeler, near the center of the township. Soon after this a\\nsmall log School House was erected on the corner of Mr. Wheeler s farm, one-half\\nmile east of the center, and was used as a place of holding township meetings\\nuntil about the year 1860, when a nice, frame, Town Hall building was erected on\\nthe northeast corner of section twenty-one.\\nTHE PRESENT OFFICERS\\nof Alpine are Supervisor, Isaac Haynes; Clerk, Hanson Rogers; Treasurer,\\nCharles Dole; Justices, John Coffee, Warren Bailey, Charles Waterman, and\\nHollis R. Hills.\\nGENERAL DESCRIPTION.\\nAlpine which is said to have derived its name from the supposition of many\\nof the early settlers, who were near the streams, and in the eastern part of the\\ntownship, that it was chiefly timbered with pine is very different from what its\\nname would indicate to a stranger. There was, originally, considerable pine\\nalong the larger streams, and in the northeasterly corner of the township. At one\\ntime, seven saw mills were situated on Mill Creek, and were doing a brisk busi-\\nness; but now there is hardly enough imie lett to sustain three.\\nThe source of Mill Creek is Cranberry Lake, which is situated on the line be-\\ntween Kent and Ottawa counties, extending into section six of Alpine. From\\nthere to Pickerel Lake on section ten Mill Creek is but a small rivulet. We\\nmention this as the main stream however there is another Inanch about the", "height": "3122", "width": "1877", "jp2-path": "historydirectory00dil_0034.jp2"}, "35": {"fulltext": "HISTORY AND DIRECTORY OF KENT COUNTY. Si\\nsame size, which conies in from Sparta, and unites with the former near the north\\nline of section nine. From Pickerel Lake to its mouth it is fed by several small\\nstreams, one of which comes from Downer Lake on the southeast quarter of sec-\\ntion ten. The main stream passes about one and one-half miles north of the\\ncenter of the township:), thence southeasterly until it unites with Grand Kiver in\\nthe southwest corner of Plain field. For a distance of five or six miles from its\\nmouth, the water power is sufhciently good for manufacturing purposes. Along\\nthis stream is a series of small swamps, extending nearly the whole width of the\\ntownship from east to west, and bordered on eitlier side by clay bluffs, rising in\\nsome places to a height of si.xty or seventy feet.\\nNorth of this, and extending into Sparta, is a ridge of high, rolling, timbered\\nland, which is as good as can be found in the county, for farming purposes, fruit\\ngrowing, etc. On the south is a similar ridge, whicli divides Mill Creek on one\\nside from Indian and Sand Creeks on the other.\\nOne branch of Indian Creek rises near the center of the township, and the other\\nin the western part. These branches unite in the north part of section twenty-\\neight; thence the stream flows south into Walker, crossing the south line of\\nAlpine near the center.\\nOne branch of Sand Creek rises in the Western part of Alpine, and flows south\\ninto Walker, and thence west into Ottawa county. Another branch of the same\\nstream has source in a small lake covering about ten acres, situated on the line\\nbetween sections twenty-eight and twenty-nine.\\nMinnie or New Boston Lake is situated on the east line of section twelve, and\\nextends east into Plainfield. The lake and surrounding swamp cover about forty\\nacres. A number of years ago a saw mill was erected on the north side of this\\nlake, and an effort was made to build up a burgh, which was christened New\\nBoston but like many other enterprises of a like nature it never went much\\nbeyond the paper plat.\\nTHE SOIL\\nof the beach and maple timbered portions of Alpine which comprise about two-\\nthirds of the township is generally clay or loam. Indeed Alpine is a township\\nof good land, well adapted to the production of both grain and fruit. The good\\nlooking orchards, and the loads of nice apples, peaches, plums, pears, etc., as well\\nas the excellent yields of wheat and other grain, speak for themselves. The soil\\nof the pine timbered portions is sandy, but it grows fair crops when well culti-\\nvated and improved. Among the largest and best farms in the township, are\\nthose of Solomon Wright, A. Downer, Mrs. James Snowden, Judson Buck, L. N.\\nDennison, David Herrick, Richmond Gooding, and Eberhard Cordes, each of\\nwhich comprises two hundred acres or more.\\nMILLS AND MANUFACTURING ESTABLISHMENTS.\\nColton s Saw Mill, built in the year 1845 by Colton and Phillips, situated on\\nthe south side of section thirteen, is now owned and operated by Gideon Colton.\\nThis mill is capable of cutting nearly a million feet of lumber per year but on\\naccount of the scarcity of pme does a comparatively small business.\\nThe Saw Mill situated on the northeast corner of section twenty-five, commonly", "height": "3122", "width": "1877", "jp2-path": "historydirectory00dil_0035.jp2"}, "36": {"fulltext": "32 HISTORY AND DIRECTORY OF KENT COCNTY.\\ncalled Withey s Mill, is manufacturing large quantities of shingles and some lum-\\nl)er.

Tliey proceeded to build houses\\nand clear up the farm now owned by A. D. Thomas. The first house they built,\\nand the first within the town, is still standing, ar^^l is preserved by Mr. A. 1).\\nThomas as a relic of the past and as a contrast with the present. It is of logs,\\nabout twelve by fourteen feet square, without any chamber, and with only one\\ndoor and one window and a shake roof. Near this Mr. Thomas built two\\nother houses and a small log building for an office for himself. ^Mr. Thomas was\\ntaken sick soon after he arrived, and was sick most of the time until the ne.xt\\nwinter, when his son-in-law Mr. John Harris came, and they fixed a bed in a\\nsleigh and he started for his home in New York. They made the whole distance\\nwith a sleigh, dragging through northern Ohio in the slush and mud. During\\nthe first summer, when they got out of provisions, Mr. Thomas, although quite\\nill at the time, had his bed fixed in a wagon, and taking his whip started his ox\\nteam for Kalamazoo. He was obliged to go a few miles beyond there and buy\\nwheat, bring it back to Kalamazoo and have it ground. Mrs. Thomson says there\\nwere a great many Indians on the Coldwater when they moved there. They\\nfound them good neighbors when they were sober, but when they could get\\nfire water they were quarrelsome, and occasioned trouble at times. One came\\nto their house one day Avhen Mr. Thomson was away from home, and sat down in\\nthe rocking chair before the fire and rocked himself over into the fire-place, she\\npulled him out of the fire and he became enraged and attempted to stab her.\\nBut when she picked up an axe, and told him she would kill him if he did not\\nleave, he beat a retreat. Another time, a lot of Indians came up on their ponies,\\nwhen the men were gone, and ordered Mrs. Wooley to get them something to\\neat. She ran to her door and called to Mrs. Thomson, who went over, she says,\\nas brave as could be, and talked to them. The old chief ordered her to go back\\nto her wigwam and get him something to eat. She obeyed, trembling with fear\\nall the time, and got the best dinner she could under the circumstances, setting\\nher table with the nicest spread and dishes she had. The chief ate his meal\\nalone at her house and seemed much pleased, told her she was a brave squaw,\\nand that they would not harm them then, but after a certain numl^er of moons\\nthey were going to kill all of the whites in the country. The other families\\nthat came with them soon became discouraged and went back, and they were left\\nalone, seven miles at first, from any white neighbors.

The extreme southwestern part of the township is somewhat broken,\\n})ut not enough so to injure its value for farming purposes. The soil varies from\\nargillaceous to sandy but is what is generally known to farmers as either clayey\\nor sandy loam. The surface of some of the creek bottoms is underlaid with marl\\nor bog lime, while the big swamj) is a bed of muck, in many jjlaces of\\nseveral feet in thickness.

Mr. Boynton returned to Grandville and was taken sick, but in August\\nor September sent his brothers, Messrs. William and Jerry Boynton to build a\\nhouse for him. All the guide they had was the section line. This they followed\\nuntil they came to the line between the present townships of Bvron and Wyom-\\ning, where they, not knowing that there was a variation in the section lines of\\nthe diff erent ranges of townships, lost the line and were sometime findino- the\\nplace Nathan had selected for his dwelling. Having found the sjjot they went at\\nwork to erect a house. Listen reader while we give you the description Mr.\\nWilliam Boynton gave us. It was built of small logs, such as they could carry\\nand put up, the roof was of small basswood, split in two parts and gutters cut,\\nwith an ax, in the flat side. One tier of these was laid with the flat side up and\\nthe other with the flat side down, so that the outside edge of the upper tier fitted\\ninto the gutter of the lower. The floor and door of the house were made of plank,\\nor as woodsmen usually call them puncheons, split from basswood trees. The\\nfire place was built of clay, which Mr. Boynton says he mixed by treadino- with\\nhis bare feet, and was built np with small twigs while the chimney was built of\\nsplit sticks laid up in the same kind of mortar. This fireplace and chimney were\\nused, and did good service for a goodly number of years. Such was the first\\nhouse erected in the township of Byron.\\nMessrs. Jerry and William Boynton soon located farms on sections nine and\\neight, respectively, and commenced improving their present homesteads, which\\nby their skill and energy they have rendered both attractive and productive.

At thv, time Mr. Kenney moved on\\nhis place there was no road from there to Grandville except as he followed the\\ntrails that wound around through the woods. Mrs. McKenney says that they\\nmoved into their house the lOth day of November, 1844, and that there were\\nneither doors nor windows in the house, and no floor below. They moved into\\nthe loft or chamber, and the next day Mr. McKenney was taken sick and was\\nconfined to his bed for two weeks. And Ijefore he was well enough to l)uild a fire-\\nplace and chimney there was two feet of snow. And that during all this time she\\nhad to do all of her cooking out of doors by a log fire. Mrs. Tuft says that they\\nmoved on their place the last day of December, 1843, and all the signs of a house\\nthey had was a small sled load of lumber. Mr. McKenney says that for some\\ntime he used to carry his grist to Jerry Boynton s, a distance of three miles,\\non his shoulders, get him to take it to Grand Kapids to mill, and when he re-\\nturned, carry it liome again.\\nDuring the year 1845 Messrs. Corkins Barney, Clark S. Wilson ami William\\nDavidson settled within the limits of the township. Among the early settlers\\nwhose names we have been able to procure are Josiah R. Holden, Bradley\\nWeaver, Daniel Prindle, Carlos Weaver and Prentice Weaver, who settled in Byron\\nfrom 184(5 to 1849. During 1850 and 51 Messrs. Eli Young and James M. Barney\\nsettled on section thirty-two. About this time is tanious among the old set-\\ntlers as the wolf year.

Mr.\\nJames M. Barney says that during the first summer that he lived on his place he\\nhad to keep his cow and calf in a high log pen near his house, nights, to keep\\nthem from the wolves. He says that one night, after being kept awake until\\nalmost morning, he took his gun just at daylight and sallied forth, determined on\\nvengeance. When he went out the wolves retreated for a short distance. But\\nwhen he came into a thicket of bushes they surrounded him, and he baclced up\\nagainst a tree, and they kep him there for ai:)Out two hours, until broad daylight.\\nHe shot at thorn several times, but the bushes were so thick that he did not kid\\nany, although they would come so near that he could hear them snap at each\\nother. The wolves were never very thick alter this season, and as they decreased,\\nuntil about 185G, deer increased and. became very thick. Mr. Barney says that\\nhe has had during the winter from forty to fifty deer hung up in the woods at\\none time.\\nORGANIZATION.\\nThe first township meeting (the township of Byron then embraced Wyoming\\nalso), was held at the house of Charles H. Oaks, in Graudville, on Monday, the\\nsecond day of May, A. D. 1836. The following officers were chosen, viz:\\nSupervisor Gideon H. Gordon. Township Clerk Isaac A. Allen.

The people of this township support their schools liberally.\\nCALEDONIA.\\nCaledonia is one of the southern tier of townships of Kent County, and is\\nbounded on the north by Cascade, on the east by Bowne, on the south by Thorn-\\napple, Barry County, and west by Gaines. It is traversed from south to north by\\nthe Thornapple river which divides it into two equal parts. The banks of the\\nriver are high and the country on both sides of the river is high and rolling. On\\nthe east side of the river the land is what is known as openings, the soil being\\nsandy and gravelly with a slight mixture of clay, and is timbered principally\\nwith oak and hickory. The soil on this side of the river is especially adapted to\\nwheat and fruit, but produces good crops of all kinds of grain and most grasses.\\nThere are several lakes on this side of the river. There is a lake on sections one,\\ntwo, eleven and twelve, about one mile long, and from eighty to one hundred and\\nsixty rods in width. The shore on tlie southeast side is sandy and on the north-\\nwest side mucky and marshy. Barber s Kake is on sections twenty-five and\\ntwenty-six. Tobey s Lake is on section twenty-three. Lovejoy s Lake is on sec-\\ntion twelve. The Coldwater or Little Thornapple enters Caledonia on section\\nthirty-six and empties into the Thornapple on section thirty-five. Tire west side\\nof the river is all timbered lands, producing all of the kinds of timber that\\nusually grow in this climate on such lands. The surface of most of this part of\\nthe town is high and somewhat rolling, with a clayey loam soil, that is well adapted\\nto all kinds of farming purposes, especially to grazing. All kinds of Iruits grow\\nalmost to perfection on this soil. There are a great many fine farms in this town-\\nsliip, and its agricultural resources are being developed very fast.\\nThe Thornapple is a very rapid stream here, and with its high banki is cap*-", "height": "3122", "width": "1877", "jp2-path": "historydirectory00dil_0044.jp2"}, "45": {"fulltext": "HISTORY AND DIRECTORY OF KENT COUNTY. 41\\nble of affording a great amount of water power. !Mr. Warren S. Hale informs us\\nthat there are at least nine chances for water powers, only three of which are de-\\nveloped, within the limits of this township, with a fall at each of from five to\\neight feet without overflowing the banks at any place. This river is full of pic-\\nturesque islands, varying in size from one-half acre to three acres. With the rich\\nagricultural country tributary to it, with its unfailing water power, the time mast\\ncome when this town will be the Lowell of Western Michigan, when the busy\\nhum of machinery will be heard from its northern to its southern boundary.\\nNestled among the hills on the banks of the Thornapple, in the northern part\\nof the township, is the thriving little village of Alaska, formerly known as North\\nBrownville. It has a very pleasant location and is an active, enterprising place.\\nIt contains one dry goods and grocery store, one dry goods, grocery aud drug\\nstore, one grocery store, one hardware store and tin shop, one flouring mill, two\\nsaw mills, one furniture manufactory, which ships a great deal of cabinet work\\nin the white besides finishing for the home market one carriage and wagon fac-\\ntory and one hotel, besides the usual number of blacksmith shops, boot and shoe\\nshops, c. There is not a saloon in the place. Surrounded by a rich agricul-\\ntural country, its growth must be rapid and its future prosperous.\\nEARLY SETTLEMENT.\\nMr. Asaliel Kent was the first settler in the township, settling on section thirty-\\nfive in 1838. Mr. Kent, and after his deatli Mrs. Kent, kept a public house,\\nwhich became famous for its good cheer, all over the surrounding country. A\\ngentleman who lived at that time in New York State, tells us that he used to\\nhear people who had been to Grand River tell about Kent s Tavern, aud when\\none would return, others who had traveled on this route the Gull Trail\\nwould always inquire after the Kents. Mrs. Kent afterwards married Mr. Peter\\nMcNaughton, and the place became equally well known to travelers on the Battle\\nCreek and Grand Rapids stage route, as McNaughton s. And while talking of\\nthis subject there are some reminiscences of this stage route that Mr. Edward\\nCampau relates, that we may as well give now, and which will help contrast the\\nmode of traveling in those days with that of the present. Mr. C. says that in\\n1839, he, then a boy of 14, made the journey with three or four others from\\nGrand Rapids to Detroit, and that they stopped at Kent s over night, and he\\nwith others of the men had to sleep out in a sort of shed, as the house was so\\nsmall it would not accommodate them. At this time this was the only house\\nfi-om Ada to Leonard s, a distance of seventeen miles. About two years after\\nthis he commenced to drive stage on this route, and drove for several years. The\\nroad at this time wound round through the woods, and it was no uncommon\\nthing to get stuck in the mud or to overset. At one time, a very dark,\\nstormy night, they broke an axletree about six miles south of Ada, and the pas-\\nsengers, five or six in number, had to walk through mud and snow to that place,\\nas it was the nearest settlement. At another time Hon. John Ball, Mrs. Thomas\\nB. Church and others were in the stage they overset in a mud-hole and the pas-\\nsengers were all landed in the water. It was quite dark, and Mr. Fred. Church,\\nthen an infant, was nearly suffocated before they found him.

Harvey P. Yale were his onlj passengers, the\\nroads -were muddy and badly rutted out and the night dark. Mr. Yale fell\\nasleep and the wheel striking into a deep rut pitched him out into the mud.\\nAfter a hearty laugh he resumed his place and they labored along. There is a\\ngreat contrast between travel over that route, and over the different railroad\\nroutes, with their elegant passenger coaches, now leading from tlie Valley City.\\nTo go back to the settlement of Caledonia Mr. James Minsey settled on sec-\\ntion thirty-six in 1838 or 1839. Among the earlier settlers were Orsemus Rath-\\nbun, Eber Moflitt, Hiram McNiel, Peter McNaughton, Levi Tobey, John Sinclair,\\nO. B. Barber, John Pattison, Henry Jackson, Wm. H. Brown, and Warren S.\\nHale. ]Mr. Lyman Gerrald was the first settler on the west side of the river.\\nMr. Wm. H. Brown erected the saw mill at Alaska, now owned by L. W.

Mr. Orsemus Rathbun is the oldest settler now residing in the\\ntownship.\\nAmong the incidents connected with the early settlement of the township,\\nshowing some of the hardships the pioneers had to endure, we have the follow-\\nin^ Mr. Wm. H. Brown, previous to his settlement at Brownsville, but after he\\nlocated his land, lived at Scale s Prairie or Middleville. Having occasion to\\ngo there one winter, he started from home in the morning on horseback, intend-\\ning to return the same day. After making his observations and examining his\\nland about where the village of Alaska now stands, he started for home night\\nsoon came on, and after endeavormg to follow his track for a while he found out\\nthat he was lost. He dismounted, and as he had nothing to kindle a fire with,\\ncleared the snow out of a path, with his feet, and some bark from a dry tree, and\\nwalked backwards and forwards in it all night. When morning came he mounted\\nhis horse and after riding for some time came out at the Green Lake House. His\\nfriends had started after him in the morning, expecting to find him frozen to\\ndeath, and followed his tracks until they found him at Green Lake.\\nAt the mouth of the Coldwater was a great Indian camping ground and burial\\nplace. They did not leave here entirely until within a very few years. One of\\nthem, old Soh-na-go, or Squirrel, has been since seen visiting the burial place\\nand the hunting grounds of his fathers, but the White man s axe had been\\nthere, and it was no longer a home for him.\\nCaledonia has nine school houses, all wooden buildings, and two churches, viz:\\nThe Baptist Churcli at Alaska, and a Catholic Church on section twenty-five, both\\nwooden structures. There are two hotels in this township, the Alaska Hotel, at\\nAlaska, Wm. H. Lock, proprietor, and the Oak Grove House, O. B. Barber, pro-\\nprietor, on section twenty-six.

Another, whose\\nsource is a large boiling spring on section 6, in its course of two and a half miles\\nattains considerable size, and empties its waters into the Thornajiple at section\\n9. Remains of an old beaver dam were to be found on this creek, quite recently.\\nOn the southeast corner of section 14, is found a lake with a greater depth of\\nwater than Lake Erie. The aljorigines of the country have a singular supersti-\\ntion with regard to this lake never floating their canoes on its bosom, or eating\\nthe fish of its waters, asserting that it is inhabited by an Evil Spirit, or, as\\nthey term it, a Great Snake. Another lake is also found on the line of sec-\\ntions 4 and o. Also one in the northwest corner of section 8, matched by one\\nsome forty rods directly south.\\nTIMBER.\\nThis township contains but little pine, which is sparsely scattered along the\\nborders of its streams. The sandy soil is chiefly oak openings while the gravel\\nand clay bear some fine sugar orchards and are also productive of beech, elm, ash,\\nhickory, and a meager supply of white wood.\\nMINERAL WEALTH.\\nLime is manufactured on section 35. Brick have also been manufactured on\\nsection 3, and a bed of red ochre lying on section 9 was used in painting some of\\nthe first buildings and the old red school house on that section. This mineral is\\nnot considered pure enough to be profitably worked. The soil also shows traces\\nof bituminous coal, copper and iron. The latter ore, manifesting itself in mao\\nnetic or mineral springs. One of these, of great power, has been discovered this\\nyear, on the farm of James Sutphen, section 26. The water bubbles up from the\\nsoil with icy coldness, and flows over a pebbly bed, staining with brilliant\\ncoloring its stony path. Iron brought in contact with it becomes heavily\\ncharged with magnetism. The water has not yet been analyzed.\\nEARLY SETTLEMENT.\\nThis township was at first a part of the township of Ada.

He removed from that State to Seneca county, New York from\\nthence to Washtenaw county, in this State from which he came, a pioneer set-\\ntler to Cascade in 183(3. At or near this time also came Mr. Hiram Laraway to\\nthis place from New York. Ilis wife being a sister of Mrs. Cook. But, dis-\\ncouraged by the hardships of the wilderness, he soon returned to his native\\nplace. In the following year, Edward Linen, a native of Ireland whose shores\\nhe left for America in 1836 settled in Cascade, where he yet resides, a useful,\\nindustrious citizen. During the year 1838, and the subsequent yeai he was fol-\\nlowed by James May, David Petted, John Farrell, James and William Annis,\\nMichael Matthews, Patrick, Christopher and Michael Eardley, all natives of the\\nsame country, most of whom yet survive, orderly citizens of their adopted liome. In\\n1838, Frederick A. Marsh, of New York, united in marriage with Olive Guild, a\\ndaughter of Joel Guild, one of the pioneer settlers of Grand Rapids and began\\ndomestic life in the unbroken wilderness, one mile north, and west of where Cas-\\ncade village now stands. Mr. ]\\\\Iarsh lived to see the forest yield its place to cul-\\ntivated fields and comfortable dwellings, and to have a school house erected on his\\nown land. He was killed by a fall from his wagon in 1856. Mrs. Marsh, afterwards\\nMrs. Walden, survived her husband eleven years, and often spoke of those days,\\nwhen her nearest neighbors were miles away, and for three months at a time she\\ndid not see the face of a white man, except her husband, while a human being pass-\\ning over the newly cut road was arelief to her intense loneliness. She died at the\\nold homestead in 1867.\\nSometime during 1839 or 1840, Mr. Laraway returned to his Cascade posses-\\nsions, and was frozen to death between that place and Ada, in the winter of 1841.\\nWidow Laraway bravely met the heavy burdens of pioneer life, and trained up\\nthree sons and a daughter to lives of usSfulness. While the name of aunt Mary\\nLaraway became a household word in the community and a synonym of virtue\\nand piety. She lived to see her children settled in life, and died suddenly in the\\nsummer of 1869. Her oldest son is well known as the proprietor of a stone-\\ncutting establishment in Grand Rapids.\\nPeter and George Teeple came to Cascade during these years, joining the set-\\ntlers on the west side of the Thornapple, while the eastern side was yet unmarked\\nby civilization, but inhabited on and near sections 23 and 26, by a colony of\\nabout 350 natives, known, through the adoption of the name of their missionary,\\nas the Slater Indians.\\nIq the year 1841, Peter Whitney, of Ohio, moved his family into that part of\\nCascade known as Whitneyville, and E. D. Gove, of Mass., selected a site for his\\nfuture home near the center of the township on sections 22, 15 and 14, to which\\nhe brought his family in the summer of 1842. Horace Sears, from Now York,\\nand Zerah and Ezra Whitney, (fother and brother to Peter) accompanied them in\\ntheir journey and settled in Whitneyville. Mr. Gove yet resides on the laud he\\nfirst settled, on section 15. But the old homestead on section 21 being the second\\nhouse built on the east side of the river, in this township having sheltered chil-\\ndren and grand children, was burned in the autumn of 1809.

Another son of Zerah Whitney, Oscar, died at Whitneyville\\nin 1849. And the remaining- sons, Peter, Johnson and Martin, now reside in other\\nparts of the county.\\nIn the Sjjring of 1845, Asa W. Denison, and family, of ^lass., (accompanied by\\na brotlier, Gideon H. Denison, looli lug for a homestead, to which he brought his\\nfamily the following year,) came to join the settlers on the west side of the\\nThornapple. Coming in on the State road, from Battle Creek to Grand Rapids,\\nthe teams, women and children of the company, were obliged to wait at Ezra\\nWhitney s public-house, for the road to be chopped out between that point\\nand the river, theirs being the first teams that passed over the road. At Cascade\\nthey forded the Thornapple with their household goods, and found timbers on\\nthe ground for the erection of the old Ferry House, (now Cascade Hotel,) which\\nwas, at that time, owned by D. S. T. Weller. During that year the house was so\\nfar completed as to admit of occupancy, and the first ferry-boat commenced its\\ntrips just above where the bridge now spans that stream. D. IS. T. Weller then\\nowned the plat of land now occupied by Cascade village, although first pur-\\nchased by Joel Guild and it was at that time staked out into lots of one acre\\neach, as the fine fall on the river gave hopes for the speedy erection of mills at\\nthat place, some of the most sanguine settlers phophesying that Cascade would\\noutstrip Grand Rapids in the strife for precedeace. Mr. W. sold out his prop-\\nerty here to W. S. Gunn, in 1846, who held it until after the organization of the\\ntownship. Mr. Weller ultimately settled in Grand Rapids city, where he re-\\nmained until he transferred his home to Detroit, in 1869.\\nDuring the year 1845, a disease, which our old settlers denominate the black\\ntongue, broke out among the Indians near Whitneyville, reducing their number\\nin a few weeks to about 300 persons. The band now became slowly wasted by\\ndisease and removal, until less than fifty remained at the time of their removal\\nto the Indian Reservation in 1856. In the year 1846, another family was added to\\nthe few settlers, of the east side of the river Jared Strong, the first settler in\\nthe forest between E. D. Gove and Ada. The following year a school was opened\\nin a little log house on the river bank, section 27, for the few pupils of that vicinity.\\nWho the young woman was, to whom belongs the rank of pioneer teacher, we\\nhave been unable to ascertain, or whether this was the first school taught in the\\ntownship. It was certainly the first on the east side of the river and the lum-\\nber sawn for the Whitneyville school house, erected i^ 1848, was among the first\\nwork done by the old saw mill, on Sucker Creek, then owned by Peter Whitney.\\nAbont this time, also, the Kalamazoo stage made its trips through Whitneyville\\nvia Ada for Grand Rapids.\\nORGANIZATION.\\nThe first township meeting was held at Whitneyville, April 3, 1848, and the\\nfollowing board of township officers was elected\\nSupervisor Peter Teeple.

Erie Prince, of Ohio, brought a small stock of Yankee notions and\\nopened a store, or grocery, for those whose nearest trading point was Grand\\nRapids. Elder Prince deserves more than a passing notice. He soon identified\\nhimself with the religious, and educational needs of the young community. He\\nheld at one time the office of School Inspector, and, up to the time of his death,\\nworked actively in the Sunday school cause, as Superintendent in the different\\nneighborhoods, now grown around the first nucleus of settlers. Was a picnic or\\ntemperance meeting to be looked after, or were chastened hearts called to lay\\ntheir treasures in the dust.

About the year 1856, he\\ndonated to the township of Cascade the land occupied by the Cascade cemetery\\nand there his body lies buried.

The north half of the township is gently rolling, is\\nwell watered with springs and small streams. The soil is good and of almost\\nevery variety. Apple and peach orchards abound. Pears, grapes, (piinccs and\\ncherries are cultivated to some extent and with good success.\\nThe southerH jjortion comprises a range of beautiful hills and table lands, ad-\\nmirably adajited to fruit and vine culture, and although not developed to any\\ngreat extent, has some of the best orchards in the county. The soil is gravelly,\\nwith a mixture of clay and loam, and is well adapted to all kinds of grain.\\nORGANIZATION.\\nThe first attempt at organization was as a part of Paris, in 1839. Foster Kelley,\\nJoseph Blain, Alexander Clark and Andrew and Renssalaer Mesnard were among\\nthe township otKcers of said organization. In the year 1848, it was organized\\nunder the name of Gaines, and the first township meeting was held at the old red\\nschool house, on the northeast corner of section 8. Among the laws passed at the\\nfirst meeting was the following\\nOn motion of Orson Cook, it was voted that a tax of two dollars and fifty cents\\nl)e raised for every wolf killed in the township.\\nWolves were rather troublesome neighbors in those days, and the author of the\\nmotion probably owed them a grudge for their former depredations. Wolves\\nmade frequent visits to the early settlers, and would make the very earth tremble\\nwith their bowlings and complaints to the intruders of their time-honored homes,\\nand usually levied a tax before morning. And, like the wolves of the present day,\\nwere only satisfied with the best quality of mutton. One occupation of the boys\\nand larger girls of that day used to be to fire the old stumps about the place in\\nthe evening to scare away the wolves. About the year 1846, there was a wolf who\\nhad her beat from this vicinity to Gull Prairie, in Barry county, and was known\\nas the Gull Prairie wolf, who usually made the round trip once a week. (Better\\ntime than the early stages.) The dogs would not molest her, and she seemed to\\nfear neither man nor beast. She had been caught once in a steel trap, and all\\ncfl^orts to entrap her again were for a long time unsuccessful. Even the children,\\nin time, learned to distinguish her voice from other wolves, and were in the habit\\nof listening for her on certain nights. She seldom disaj)pointed them, and made\\nnight hideous with her dismal howls. She finally killed four sheep in one night\\non the premises of ]\\\\Ir. Mesnard, belonging to Mr. Rice. Mr. R. R. Jones, who\\nlived near, requested the owner to leave one of the carcasses whicli madame wolf\\nhad partially devoured, and he did so. Mr. Jones and Orson Cook then held a\\ncouncil of war. It was determined to make one more effort to entrap her.\\nAccordingly two traps were set about the carcass. But on her next visit she\\ncontrived to remove the carcass several rods, taking care to avoid the traps.\\nAnother council rcsnltod in some more traps. Four were set placing in the in-", "height": "3122", "width": "1877", "jp2-path": "historydirectory00dil_0060.jp2"}, "61": {"fulltext": "HISTORY AND DIRECTORY OF KENXr cOUNTY. 67\\ntermediate spaces small pieces of iron, which were left in sight, while the traps\\nwere carefully concealed. This time they outwitted her. For after visiting two\\nbarns in the neighborhood, and trying to obtain a fresh quarter of mutton, she\\nwent and put her identical game foot into one of the traps. Early on the follow\\ning morning, Messrs. Jones and Cook took the trail in pursuit. They obtained\\na glimpse of their victim near the present residence of Mr. Blake, on section 15,\\nand, after following her to the vicinity of Duncan Lake, in Barry County, suc-\\nceeded in getting her headed toward home. They followed and overtook hel- on\\nsection 23, in Gaines. She caved in, completely vanquished, and submitted to\\nbeing bound with bark and slung to a pole our two hunters resolving to carry\\nher back alive the the scene of her recent murders. A thing, by the way, much\\neasier resolved than executed. For they were soon satisfied to leave all but the\\npelt, for which they received one dollar, and ten and a half dollars in the shape\\nof County and State bounties. They soon after caught a neighbor s boy by the\\nheel, in one of the same traps. A large, good natured specimen of the Genus\\nYankee, about twenty years of age, who, anxious to become versed in all the\\nmysteries of woodcraft, was peering about to see how a wolf trap was set. He\\nfound out as well as how one was sprung. His cries soon brought his father to\\nhis assistance, and gave the wolf hunters no further trouble.\\nBut the wolves, and their allies the bears and wild-cats, have disappeared. The\\ngrowth of the township has not been rapid. It could not be expected when we\\nconsider the difficulties to be overcome. At the first township meeting only 35\\nvotes were polled. Yet in 1888, at the Presidential election, she polled 253 votes,\\nand her present population (1870) is 1,205. Thrifty farms greet you at every\\nturn; comfortable frame cottages take the jjlace of the log hut of the pioneer;\\nroads on section lines traverse all parts of the township and, from 36 square\\nmiles of wilderness, she has grown in thirty-three years to be an enterprising,\\nthrifty, agricultural town.\\nThe first school was taught in a log house erected by Mr. Clark, on the north-\\neast corner of section 8, about the year 1842. This, in time, gave way to a small\\nframe building, painted red, and known throughout the country as the red\\nschool house, which was succeeded, in 1863, by the present elegant structure on\\nthe same site, which takes the name and color of its predecessor. There are, in\\nall, eight school houses in the township all comfortable frame buildings.\\nThe society of United Brethren built a church on section 28 in 1867, which,\\nalthough plain and modest, is neat and tasty, an honor to the association and an\\nornament to the community. It is situated on one of the most elevated points\\nin the township, and can be seen for miles around.\\nGaines has been without railroad communication until the present year, (1870)\\nwhen the Grand River Valley Railroad was constructed through her territory.\\nHammond Station was established on the farm of S. A. Hammond, on section 11,\\nand a large freight and passenger depot, with telegraph office, erected. Wood-\\nward Buckingham have erected a large grain elevator. W. W. Pierce and\\nPhiletus Marsh, Esq., have each a small grocery running, and the place already\\nassumes a business aspect.\\n8", "height": "3122", "width": "1877", "jp2-path": "historydirectory00dil_0061.jp2"}, "62": {"fulltext": "58 HISTORY AND DtRECTORY OF KENT COUNTY.\\nFIRST TOWNSHIP OFFICERS.\\nELECTED APRIL 3d, 1848.\\nSupervisor \u00e2\u0080\u0094Peter Van Lew.

The soil of the south\\nhalf is mostly clay or loam, lies very high, and is generally level and well adapted\\nto farming purposes, and. on account of its elevation, an excellent fruit section.\\nThe north half is considerably broken by Grand River, which crosses the\\ntownship from east to west, at an average distance of one mile from the north\\nline, and Flat River, which comes in from Vergennes, on the north, and enters\\nGrand River about one and one half miles west from the county line, of Kent and\\nIonia counties. The river bottoms, from half a mile to a mile in width, are\\nheavily timbered with elm, ash, soft maple, etc., and when cleared make good\\nmeadow lauds. Next back of these bottoms, on either side, rise the sand and clay\\nbluffs, which line these streams throughout the greater part of their course in the\\ncounty. In some places they rise to the highth of nearly 300 feet, and are usual-\\nly covered with oak, some time quite heavy, but in other places only what is com-\\nmonly known as openings, the timber being light, and the ground covered\\nwith a small growth of oak, interspersed with hazel, and other shrubs.

On the northwest corner of the\\nsame section is a pond of about ten acres, called Morse Lake. Between them, and\\non the south part of the same section, is a small lily pond, hardly to be called a\\nlake. Stoughton Lake is a small lake of 4 or 5 acres, near the center of section\\n35, and has a tamarack swamj) of about 20 acres on the east of it. There is also\\na small lake of 3 or 4 acres, and a swamp of about 15 acres on the south side of\\nsection 22. A swamp of some 300 or 400 acres lies west of Pratt Lake, on section\\n26. On the south side of section 33, and extending over the line into Bowne, is\\na fine marsh of about 40 acres. From Pratt Lake and the swamp already mentioned,\\nto this marsh is a ravine through which is a stream of water in wet seasons, but\\nwhich dries away in ordinary weather, leaving the lake without any visible out-\\nlet. Tlie people along the line have recently petitioned the County Drain Com-\\nmissioner to open this natural water course deep enough to form a living stream,\\nto the south line of Lowell township, from which it would flow into a small\\nstream which runs to Thornapple River. Aside from the sources already men-\\ntioned, and some few smaller ponds and swamps, water can only be obtained in\\nthis part of the township by digging a depth of 50 to 100 feet.

This township is well supplied with stone for\\nbuilding purposes, and in some parts they are used to some extent for fencing,\\nespecially in the northwest corner of the township, and various other places north\\nof Grand Kiver. Fine gravel beds also abound throughout the north part, and\\nthe soil is quite gravelly along the road leading down the river from Lowell vil-\\nlage.\\nPIONEERS.\\nIn the year 1829, Daniel Marsac came from Detroit, and went among the In-\\ndians in the vicinity of the present village of Lowell, as a trader, although a re-\\ngular trading post was not established until 1831, when Mr. Marsac built a log\\nhut on the south side of Grand River, near the present site of J. Kopf Co. s ex-\\ntensive chair works.\\nWhat changes a few years have made When Mr. Marsac first pitched his tent\\nwithin the borders of Kent county, then an almost unbroken wilderness, the only\\nroads were the Indian trails, and the only means of navigation was the canoe, or\\ndug out, as it is sometimes called or, for more extensive transportion, a raft\\nmade of poles, or small logs, fastened togethsr. We do not need to speak of the\\nrailroads and other facilities for travel now, as the reader can easily compare the\\npresent with the past.\\nIn the spring of 1835, a family by the name of Robinson, numbering in all 44\\npersons, set out from the State of New York, and arriving at Detroit, embarked\\non a small vessel for Grand Haven via Mackinaw. On the 7th day of June of that\\nyear they reached the mouth of Grand River, and, putting their household goods,\\netc., on rafts, and paddling their own canoes, made their way up the river and\\nsettled in Kent and Ottawa counties, principally the latter, in the vicinity of\\nBlendon. These were only a part of the Robinsons. Rix Robinson had been\\ntrading with the Indians at Thornapple now called Ada for several years prev-\\nious to this, and had one son by the squaw whom he had taken for a wife soon\\nafter he came there. A year later, in 1836, another brother, named Lewis, came\\nwith his family and settled on the west bank of Flat River, in the south part of\\nwhat is now the village of Lowell. He was soon followed by Rodney, a brother\\nfrom the Blendon settlement, who remained one year with Lewis, and then re-\\nmoved up the river into the present township of Vergennes, where he and another\\nbrother, Lucas, have made good farms. Philander Tracy a relative of the\\nRobinson family, who now resides at Grand Rapids, and is generally known as\\nJudge Tracy, also came from the State of New York, and was for some time with\\nLewis Robinson. The timber for their first log hut was cut two or three miles up\\nFlat River, and floated down by the help of Indians, who were always friendly to\\nthose who used them well.\\nThere were good and bad Indians, as well as good and bad whites. One Indian,\\nnamed Negake, who was not, however, a member of either of the tribes then oc-\\ncupying this portion of the State, but a renegade from some Eastern tribe, who\\nhad taken up his abode with the Pottawotamies, caused the whites some trouble,\\nand was reported to have killed one of the Government Surveyors some years\\nprevious, when an attempt was made to survey and throw into market all lands\\nup to the 43 degree of latitude, which parallel cut across a bend in the river in this\\n9", "height": "3122", "width": "1877", "jp2-path": "historydirectory00dil_0069.jp2"}, "70": {"fulltext": "66 HISTORY AND DIRECTORY OF KENT COUNTY.\\ntownship, and took a strip about a mile in width on the north side, to which sur-\\nvey the Indians objected. Subsequently the river was made the frontier line, and\\nno lands north of the river were put into market until August, 1839.\\nA tract of land lying on the east side of Flat River, was set apart as University\\nlands. In 1836. Luther Lincoln, from Grand Rapids, formerly from the south part\\nof the State, where he had been quite a wealthy man, came and settled on a small\\nlot of this University land, and built a log house, which was afterwards used by\\nDon A. Marvin, as a tavern. Mr. Lincoln and Rodney, and Lucas Robinson,\\nhelped the Indians to fence in a tract of about 100 acres, on the east side of Flat\\nRiver, and about one mile from Grand River, for a planting ground, to prevent\\nany trouble on account of their letting their cattle run at large on Uncle Sam s\\nDomain, as the cattle would have been likely to destroy their crops, and this\\nwould naturally have led to hostilities.\\nMr. Rodney Robinson states that the Indians were usually good neighbors, and\\neven Mr. Lincoln whose mind was somewhat wandering, and consequently led\\nhim into some trouble with the early white settlers, always got along finely with\\nthe Indians, and when, on account of some unpleasantness with the whites he\\nwas obliged to leave this point, he went up the river a long distance and erected\\na saw mill, right in the midst of the Indian country. They were often employed\\nto work for the early white settlers, and generally well paid, although it was\\nusually best to j^ay them in provisions and other necessaries, rather than in\\nmoney, for, if they got money, many of them would go off to places where they\\ncould get liquor, and come home drunk, when they would be quarrelsome and\\ndangerous neighbors, until the fire-water and its efl ects were gone. No liquor\\nwas allowed to be sold to them in this vicinity if the settlers could prevent it,\\nalthough itinerant traders would sometimes undertake to sell it to them in order\\nmake it easier to cheat them in their trades.\\nIn 1837, Charles Newton, Matthew Patrick, Samuel P. Rolf, Ira A. Danes, Wil-\\nliam Vandeusen and Mr. Francisco nearly all of whom were from New York,\\nsettled along the north side of Grand River, on the old Grand River Road, from\\ntwo to five miles west of Flat River. This road came from Ionia, by the way of\\nFallassburg\u00e2\u0080\u0094 at which point the first bridge was built across Flat River, in 1840,\\nprevious to which the river was forded and passed about two miles west of the\\nmouth of the river, thence along down Grand River, near the side of the blufts.\\nThe following bit of school romance is introduced without any apology In\\n1837 the people of this vicinity organized a School District, including all the set-\\ntlers on Flat River, and being the only School District between Grand Rapids\\nand Ionia. They erected a log school house in 1838, in the north part of the pre-\\nsent village, on the west side of Flat River, and employed Miss Caroline Beard,\\nfrom New York State, to teach the first school that summer. The following win-\\nter the district furnished a cook-stove and provisions, and Miss Beard lived in\\nthe school house and kept the school. Caleb D. Page, who had taken up a piece\\nof land near the Fallassburg of later days, took matrimony into his head and\\nMiss B. to his heart, and the bonds of wedlock were entered into by this couple\\nin the school house.\\nIn 1839, William B.

At the time of the sale of lands in\\nthis tract, (previously mentioned as occurring in August, 1839) the Indians at-\\ntempted to enter and hold the land they had been tilling, under the pre-emption\\nlaws, but, as the agent knew nothing about whether the red man could hold land\\nby those laws, the matter was referred to the General Land office, and, while\\nwaiting the decision, Philander Tracy attempted to gain possession by erecting\\na small hut on it, and sowing the field to oats, which were destroyed by the In-\\ndians. His papers which had been granted were afterward revoked, and, al-\\nthough the decision was that Indians could not enter lands in their own name,\\nthey lent money to a Frenchman by the name of Nontah, and he bought the land,\\nand afterward, failing to pay back the money, he gave them a deed of it.\\nThe lands were afterward found to be a part of the University Grant. andso\\nalso was the land taken by Lincoln. When Mr. L. left here, he sold his claim to\\nDaniel Marsac, who, in 1847, platted it under the name ot the village of Dans-\\nville, which name it retained until about the year 1855. In 1850 Mr. M. sold his\\nclaims to Edwin Avery, of Ionia, who then paid the State and obtained a com-\\nplete title to the same. John B. Shear and some others, came in about the year\\n1844, and settled in or near the present village of Lowell. In December, 1846,\\nCyprian S. Hooker, formerly from Connecticut, came from Saranac, Ionia county,\\nwhere he had been a pioneer and almost the only settler. Mr. Hooker erected the\\nfirst tramed house in the township, which was also the first in the village. His\\nlumber was brought from Saranac. He commenced his house on the 18th day of\\nDecember, 1846, and on the ensuing Christmas moved into it with his family.\\nThis would be called quick work even in these days of steam and electricity.\\nSaid house is the one now owned and occupied by Robert Marshall. In 1847 Mr.\\nHooker erected the grist mill on the east side of Flat River, now owned and since\\nenlarged by William W. Hatch, who erected another large mill on the west side\\nof the river in 18G7. When Mr. H. first erected his mill it was run by an overshot\\nwater-wheel water being brought by means of a race, a distance of about 40 rods\\nfrom the Island in Flat River. In 1849, Mr. Hooker constructed the dam across\\nthe river just below Bridge street. In 1849, the first sermon ever preached in\\nDansville, was delivered at the h(mse of C. S. Hooker, Esq., by Rev. S. S. Brown,\\na Congregational Minister. Mr. Hooker also had tiie job of building the first\\nframe school house in the village, which was the first in the east part of the coun-\\nty. It was built in 1850 and stood on the present M. E. Church site. Soon after\\nthis a Sunday School was established by the agent of the Congregational Union\\nSociety.\\nThe Lowell post office was established about the year 1848, and took its name\\nfrom the township, which was organized about this time, and which seems to\\nhave been named on account of its prospects as a manufacturing point, although\\nthe village was still called Dansville.

Its first town meeting was held the first Monday of\\nApril, 1849, at a little log school house in district No. 1, on section 29. This was the\\nfirst school house in the town, but the log cabin was replaced in 1852, by a frame\\nstructure thirty-six by twenty-six feet in size. This is the famous No. 1, that has\\neducated, and sent forth more, and better teachers, than any other district school\\nin the county. It is known as the White Swan School. Oakfield has six other\\ndistrict school houses noteworthy among these is the Horton School House, a\\nlarge frame edifice, painted white. It was erected in 1868, and is used as a church,\\n10", "height": "3122", "width": "1877", "jp2-path": "historydirectory00dil_0077.jp2"}, "78": {"fulltext": "74 HISTORY AND DIRECTORY OF KENT COUNTY.\\nas well as for school purposes.

It has three very fine church edifices,\\nand all its places of worship are well attended.\\nThe First Baptist Church of Oakfield, is a fine frame structure, located on sec-\\ntion 3(5. It was built in 1863. and has a fine bell. It cost about $2,200, and the\\nhonor of its erection is largely due to Shelden Ashley, one of the oldest inhabi-\\nbitants of the town. C. C. Miller is the present pastor.\\nThe Second Baptist Society of Oakfield was organized in April, 18G5, with some\\n40 members, under the ministration of Rev. C. C. Miller, pastor, and Stephen S.\\nTower, Henry Rich, Thomas Jones, Nathan R. Squiers and William R. Jones,\\nTrustees. The house belonging to this Society the Second Baptist Church, ot\\nOakfield a fine frame building, dedicated January 11, 18G8. stands upon on acre\\nof ground purchased from the farm of Robert Olmsted, in the southeast corner of\\nsection 19. It is 3G by 56 feet in size, and has a tower 95 feet in height, which is\\nfurnished with a very fine toned bell that cost $400. The whole cost of the\\nchurch was |4,150, of which the citizens of the City of Grand Rapids generously\\ndonated over $500. It has an organ, and an excellent choir under the efficient\\nleadership of Mrs. Samuel Tower. Rev. C. C. Miller, is the pastor.\\nThe First Methodist Episcopal Church, of Oakfield, is also a very fine frame\\nbuilding, located on the south line of section, 9, one fourth of a mile away\\nfr(mi the Second Baptist Church.\\nThe total cost of its erection closely approximated $1,500.

It was located on Beaver Dam Creek, a small stream running into Wab-\\nah-see Lake. Three times it was swept into ruins by the freshets, and as often\\nrepaired, or rebuilt, by the indomitable perseverance of its owner. But at last,\\npatience and capital alike gave out, and a steam mill was erected in its stead.\\nThat has since been dismantled, and desolation now reigns where sterling enter-\\nprise once presided.

He settled in the township in the year 1834, and remained a resident\\nup to the time of his death, which occurred some twenty-live years ago.\\nThe trials and hardships undured by the pioneers of those days seem to have\\nbeen unusual. Nearly all of the settlers were poor, and consequently were un-\\nable to relieve the unequal distress of the less fortunate among them. The lots\\nof some were i)eculiariy distressing. Orleans Spaulding, who was before men-\\ntioned as having settled in the year 1886, informs us that, in th month of June,\\n1837, he was afflicted with sore eyes, and that for six years he was thereby unfitted\\nfor labor. During three years of the time he was totally blind, and that, too, while\\nhis family was dependent upon the productions of their little farm for a living.\\nBut there were trials of a general nature which had to be endured at this period,\\noccasioned by the hard times, or wild cat times, as they were commonly\\ncalled. Many of the new settlers had but a small part of their fa^ms cleared, and\\nand a still smaller part cultivated, and consequently were obliged to buy their\\nprovisions. Those who had been in the country longer, and had larger improve-\\nments, raised a few bushels of wheat more than was required for their own use,\\nbut they could sell it neither for money, nor for groceries. Usually it could be\\ngiven in exchange for shelf goods as they were called, provided no more than\\nfilty cents per bushel was charged.\\nWhile wheat was selling at only fifty cents per bushel, flour was selling at $15\\nper barrel, pork $36 per barrel, potatoes $2 per bushel, and butter fifty cents per\\npound.\\nWe are informed by Mrs. Burton, that when she commenced keeping house in\\nthe township, on what is now the Garfield farm, she had no neighbors on the\\nsouth nearer than Gull Prairie, none on the east nearer than Ionia, and none\\nwhatever on the west. Uncle Louis Campau, Joel Guild and Jonathan F. Chubb,\\nwere the only residents of Grand Rapids. Rix Robinson was in the township of\\nAda, trading among the Indians.\\nMr. Burton built the first log house in the township of Paris, and erected the\\nfirst barn the county. He also erected the first frame house in the township,\\nupon the site of the present fine residence of S. M. Garfield.\\nThe following incident illustrates the condition of the country at an early day:\\nwhen Mr. Burton was on his way from Gull Prairie to Grand Rapids, one night\\nhe and his few companions halted as usual, spanceled their horses, and took their\\nrest. In the morning, tiie horses belonging to Mr. Burton were nowhere to be\\nseen, so he started out in search of them. He wandered about in the thick woods\\nfor several hours, without success, and finally turned about with the intention of\\nreturning to the camp. He traveled until the sun was low in the west, and no\\noamp could be found. Night came on, and he rested himself, a lost man in a\\ndense forest.

About the same time a grey horse came to the residence of Abram\\nLaraway, not many miles away, which none of the settlers claimed. Early in the\\nspring a saddle was found by Robert Barr in the woods not far away. Still later\\nthe body of a man was found on what is now called the Penny property, in the\\nThird Ward of the City. Its appearance indicated that death had taken place\\nsome mouths previously. A few dollars in money, a watch, and some papers were\\nfound on his person, the latter indicating the name of the man to liave been\\nMoore. Nothing further was ever ascertained in regard to the matter. He pro-\\nbably lost his way in the pathless woods, wandered about for several days, perhaps\\nlost his horse, and finally starved to death or, overcome with weariness sank\\ndown to rest, and perished Ijy the excessive cold.\\nIn the year 183.5 or 1836, a man by the name of Sizer was shot by an Indian,\\nnear Plaster Creek, on what are now the premises of Henry Allen.

One and a half miles east of this, on the northwest corner of section\\ntwo, is a Uirgc, flowing spring, known as CrandalFs Spring, which is the source\\nof the west branch of Duke Creek. The stream Hows southeasterly through three\\nlakes, known as the Chain of Lakes; the first being on the line of sections two and\\ntliree, (chiefly on three); the next near the center of section two and the third\\non the south line of two and partially on seven. This stream then flows a little east\\nof south, to the north part of section twenty-four, where it unites with the east\\nbranch, which rises in Jordan Lake, on section one, flows out into Nelson, where\\nit receives some additional water, and again enters Solon at the southeast corner\\nof section twelve. At the junction of these two streams Wellman Co. con-\\nstructed a dam in I80G, at a cost of $1,000, with the intention of erecting a large\\nsaw mill, which, however, was never built. From this point Duke Creek flows in\\na southwesterly direction across the township, and passes out on section thirty,\\ninto Tyrone. It is fled by several small streams, the largest of which comes from\\na small lake near the center of section fourteen, (for which wc heard no name),\\nand flows into the main creek on the north side of section twenty-eight. This\\nstream has been much used for running logs to the Rouge, and thence to Grand\\nRiver.\\nThere is a small lake on the north line of section fifteen, known as Mud Lake,\\nwhich has no outlet.\\nThe size of these seven lakes varies from ten to one hundred acres each.\\nCedar Creek rises in Nelson, flows across the southeast corner of Solon, and\\nsouthwest into Algoma, in the history of which it will be mentioned at greater\\nlength.\\nIn the southwest corner are Long Lake, and some smaller ones, which will be\\nfarther spoken of in connection with the lakes in the northwestern part of\\nAlgoma.\\nTHE VILLAGE OF CEDAR SPRINGS\\nwas platted in 1859, and probably will be incorporated at the next session of the\\nState Legislature.\\nIt is situated twenty miles northeast from Grand Rapids, by the G. R. I. Rail-\\nroad, and lies about half in Solon and half in Nelson, one mile from their soutli\\nline.\\nThe first settler here was Robbins Hicks, who came in 1855, and was previously\\nmentioned as one of the early residents of Solon.

Also a series nearly or quite connected, extending west\\nacross sections 4 or 5, and passing off into the south part of Tyrone. There are\\ntwo quite extensive swamps which commence on the west part of section 6, and\\nrun west into Chester. Between them is the ridge, well known to those accus-\\ntomed to travel the G. R. Newaygo State Road, as the Hog-back Hill. The\\nhighest hills and deepest valleys are in the northwest still it contains some as\\nnice farming lands as are to be found in the township.\\nThe timber is mostly beech and sugar-maple, with some pine in the northeast\\nand southeast parts. There is some hemlock interspersed with the pine in the\\nnortheast. The soil is generally a rich loam, suited to the production of wheat,\\ncorn, oats, grass, potatoes, etc. Nearly all kinds of fruit which can be raised in\\nthe county, do well here.\\nAmong the large farms of Sparta, we would mention that of INIrs. John Manly,\\nin the southwest part of the township, which contains 380 acres, and that of\\nElias Darling, farther north on the same road, containing 320 acres. The large\\nfarm of Moses Bradford is now divided between his sons, Jason and Perry.\\nThe farm formerly owned by Nathan Earl, is now owned by his son-in-law,\\nCharles M. Chapman. Norman Cummings has 240 acres on tlie south township\\nline, which is, however, in two separate parcels.\\nSTREAMS.\\nRouge River is the principal stream of Sparta, entering it on section 1, from\\nTyrone, and passing south and southeast through the east tier of sections;\\nthence out into Algoma, from the east part of section 25. It is used for running\\nlogs, having been cleared for that purpose nearly twenty years ago, through this\\ntownship.\\nBall Creek, which has also been considerably used for logging, enters Sparta\\nfrom Tyrone, near the central part of the line, and flows in a southeasterly direc-\\ntion across sections 3, 2 and 11, into Rouge River, of which it is the principal\\nbranch from this township.\\nNash Creek, formed by several small branches from the west, Hows through the\\ncentral part, and empties into Rouge River on the southeast corner of section\\nfourteen.", "height": "3122", "width": "1877", "jp2-path": "historydirectory00dil_0096.jp2"}, "97": {"fulltext": "HISTORY AND DIRECTORY OF KENT COUNTY. 93\\nSymes Creek rises in the soutliern part of the township, and flows northeast-\\nerly into Rouge River, on the southwest corner of section twenty-four.\\nA small stream, sometimes known as the River Jordan, comes in from Alpine,\\nand flows in a northerly direction across sections twenty-five and twenty-six, and\\nempties into Rouge River near the center of the latter section.\\nTwo small streams empty into Rouge River from the northeast, on section one,\\nbeing the outlets of a chain of lakes in the west part of Algoma.

This place was first settled\\nby J. E. Nash, in 1846, and for some time known as Nashville. It now contains a\\nPost-office, known as Sparta Center, two churches Baptist and Methodist Epis-\\ncopal both of which were erected in 1866, at a cost of about $3,000 each, a good\\nsteam saw mill, five stores, two blacksmith shops, and one wagon shop also a\\nvery good hotel, known as the Sparta House, and kept by John M. Balcom. But\\nas yet no graded school building has been erected, although it is greatly needed.\\nA small, frame, district school house, erected in 1849, is the only public school\\nbuilding in the place. A good select school is kept during the winter months by\\nMr. Amherst Cheney. The steam saw mill already mentioned, is now owned and\\noperated by Wm. Olmsted and Sons. It has a planing machine attached also\\none run of stone for grinding flour and feed.\\nLISBON VILLAGE,\\non the west line of Sparta, is sixteen miles from Grand Rapids, on the Grand\\nRapids and Newaygo State Road. It was first settled by John Pintler, who came\\nhere from the State of New York, in 1846. In 1848 a Mail Route was established\\nfrom Grand Rapids to Newaygo, with a Post-ofiice at this point, under the name\\nof Pintler s Corners, Mr. Pintler being the first Postmaster. In 1859 the name of\\nthe oflice was changed to Lisbon. The first goods sold from a store in this place\\nwere by Miner Atherton, in 1855. In March, 1869, it was regularly incorporated\\nas a village, including half a mile each way from the northwest corner post of\\nsection 30. It will be noticed that this includes half a section or, more properly,\\ntwo quarter sections from the township of Chester, Ottawa county but, as the vil-\\nlage is under the jurisdiction of Kent county, we will include the whole in our\\nHistory and Directory.\\nThis village now contains nine stores, three blacksmith shops, two wagon shoj^s,\\none hotel, a good, two-story frame school house, and three good sized frame\\nchurches; also a good steam grist mill, and a saw mill.\\nThe Hotel is a good, frame building, owned and kept by Lorenzo Chubb.\\nThe Graded School building, erected in the summer of 1869, is a good, substan-\\ntial frame structure, two stories high, 36x46 feet in size, and cost |2,700.", "height": "3122", "width": "1877", "jp2-path": "historydirectory00dil_0097.jp2"}, "98": {"fulltext": "94 HISTORY AND DIRECTORY OF KENT COUNTY.\\nSPENCER.\\nThe township of Spencer is situated in the norteast corner of tlie county, and is\\nbounded on the north by the township of Maple Valley, Montcalm county, on the\\ncast by Montcalm, Montcalm county, on the south by Oaktield, and on the west\\nI)y Nelson.\\nThe first white inhabitant of Spencer was an old trapper, by the name of Lin-\\ncoln.

C. Wylie on section\\nthirty-three, which is worthy a description.\\nIt is no more nor less than an old Beaver Dam. This dam was about sixty rods\\nlong and rose to a hight of three, four, and even five feet in some places. It was\\nbuilt in a zig-zag form, the sections being uniformily about two rods in length. It\\nmust have been built a long time ago, for large trees are found growing on the\\nembankment. Where the pond was, the timber has been killed by the flowing, leav-\\ning nothing but a marsh.

Justices Thomas Healey, Natliaa Earle, Bernard\\nCourtney, and Daniel Sehermerhorn.\\nGENERAL DESCRIPTION.\\nThe soil ot Walker is strangely diversified. On the east and south, along Grand\\nRiver, is a tract of low land, from eighty rods to a mile in width, extending from\\nthe northeast to the southwest corner of the township, which is underlaid with a\\nstrata of lime stone, lying from two to ten feet below the surface. Above this is\\na gravelly loam, which, in some parts, is filled and covered with large boulders.\\nBack of this is a series of hills and sandy bluffs, rising to a height of fifty or sixty\\nfeet. The sandy belt also extends diagonally across the township from northeast\\nto northwest, and varies in width from one-half to two miles. The original timber\\nof the former was elm, black oak, soft maple, hemlock, cedar, etc., and of the\\nlatter, pine and oak.\\nWe next come to what is commonly called timbered land the timber being\\nchiefly beach and sugar maple, with considerable valuable oak interspersed\\nthrough some portions. This timbered land extends throughout the remainder\\nof Walker, and northwest into the adjoining townships of Ottawa county. The\\nsoil of the northwestern portion is chiefly clay, with some small parcels of rich,\\nblack, sandy loam. The face of the country is gently undulating, with but few\\nhills and swamps.\\nWalker is as thickly settled as any township which contains no village. The\\nsoutheasterly part is mostly divided into small lots, containing from five to forty\\nacres, and which are usually devoted to market gardening and fruit-growing.\\nThe westerly and northwesterly part is devoted principally to farming purposes.\\nIn that locality are to be seen some quite large, as well as fine, farms. Stephen\\nO Brien owns two hundred and eighty acres, situated south of Bridge street, two\\nmiles west of the plaster quarries, two hundred acres of which is in a good state\\nof cultivation. Mr. O Brien informed us that he raises from nine hundred to one\\nthousand bushels of wheat per year, besides other general crops; and that he has\\nsold as high as one hundred tons of hay as the result of one year s yield. P. F.\\nCovell, N. C. Wright, and Daniel Sehermerhorn, near the center Haines Edison\\nand B. F. Woodman, in the northern part of the township and McCarthy and\\nDavidson in the southern part, have farms containing from one hundred and\\nsixty to two hundred and sixty acres each. Peaches, apples and other kinds of\\nfruit are raised in abundance on the sandy belt, and on most parts of the clay\\nland. The low lands along the river produce good crops of grass and grain.", "height": "3122", "width": "1877", "jp2-path": "historydirectory00dil_0108.jp2"}, "109": {"fulltext": "HISTORY AND DIRECTORY OP KENT COUNTY. 105\\nThe greatest elevation in the township is the high rolling swell of land extend-\\ning from section thirty-two in the southwest, passing through the central part,\\nl)roken by Brandy Creek, near the residence of William Dunnctt, continuing\\nnorthwartl on the west of Indian Creek, and afterwards crossing the line into\\nAlpine. On the highest part of this ridge, near the center of section nine, is a\\nlake covering about four acres, situated in the middle of a swamp of about twenty\\nacres. This lake is about one hundred feet above the level of Grand River, and\\nhas no visible outlet. Poles have been run down sixty feet without striking any\\nsolid bottom.\\nThere is a swamp of about one hundred acres on Bridge street, three and one\\nhalf miles west of the river, lying mostly on section twenty-nine. There is also\\none about the same size in the sourthern part ot section six. We found one of\\nrather small dimensions on section eight also, one on section thirty-four. There\\nare other small swamps in different parts of the township, some of which are\\nbeing drained and cultivated, and are fast becoming rich meadow laud. In all,\\nthere are, probably, about four hundred acres of swamp land in the township.\\nOf the streams in Walker, Indian Creek, formerly known as Indian Mill Creek,\\nis the most important. It derived its name from a mill which was erected near\\nits mouth by the Indians, or for them we have not learned which many years\\nago. ^The site of this mill was near the present junction of the Detroit Mil-\\nwaukee with the Grand Rapids Indiana Railroad, on section thirteen.) The\\nsource of the stream is in Alpine. It enters Walker from the north, near the pres-\\nent location of the Indian Creek post office, and passes through sections ten,\\nfifteen, fourteen, and thirteen, and unites with Grand River near the D. M.\\nRailroad bridge. There was once considerable pine along its banks, and during\\nthe first ten years of the early settlement of the township, five saw mills were\\nerected.

It is run by an overshot waterwheel the water being conveyed from the\\npond on Indian Creek, near the residence of Solomon Wright, in Alpine, a dis-\\ntance of nearly ninety rods. The mill possesses the facilities for sawing one mil-\\nlion feet of lumber per year but on account of the scarcity of pine, it does a\\nmnch smaller business. The mill also contains one run of mill-stones for grind-\\ning feed, etc. The present proprietors are McNitt Wilder.\\nThe plaster mills and quarries on section thirty -four, two and one half miles\\nbelow Bridge street, in the side of the bluff near the river, are on the east part of\\nsection thirty-four.

A portion of the rock was exposed in the bed of the creek at the site\\nof the first plaster mill, where George 11. White Co. s works are now located.\\nDouglass Houghton, State Geologist, visited the place in 1838, and gave the first\\npui)lished account of the deposits. Prior to that time the 80 acres of land on\\n8(!CtioQ two, on which the plaster was found, had been i^urchased by Mr. Dc-\\ngarmo Jones, of Detroit, with a view to its mineral worth.\\nThe first mill for grinding plaster was built in the winter of 1840-1, by Mr.\\nDaniel Ball, of Grand Rapids. It was driven by a large water wheel, and con-\\ntained but one run of stone. The last remains of this building, in use until a few\\nyears ago, were torn down in 18G9. Mr. Ball leased the bed of Mr. Jones, and paid\\nhuu in plaster, delived in Detroit via Grand River and the lakes. Mr. Henry R.\\nWilliams bought the lease of Mr. Ball in 1843, and during the same year built an\\naddition to the works, putting in another run of stone for custom flouring. Mr.\\nJames A. Rumsey entered these works in 1842, and has been connected Vith the\\nbusiness since that time, being now employed as foreman by George H. White\\nCo. The plaster produced for the first four years found a market principally at\\nDetroit, but by dint of wise exertions on the jjart of the proprietors, who sold it,\\nand often gave it away to farmers for trial, its use as a fertilizer became quite\\ngeneral in the southern part of the State.

Of the others, some few have\\nremoved, but the greater part are deceased. Savoy R. Beals and Cyrus Jones had\\nresided in this county some time before settling in Wyoming.\\nGrandville was one of the first settlements in Kent county and, for a number\\nof years, one of the largest places. One of the first, saw mills, if not the first, (ex-\\ncept one built on Indian Mill Creek for the Indians,) was built near the site of the\\nWyoming Mills, by Messrs. Ball and Wright, in 1834. This mill, after passing\\nthrough various hands, was destroyed by fire manyyears ago.\\nIn 1834 Gideon H. Gordon built a saw mill on section seventeen. This mill\\nafterwards fell into other hands, and finally rotted down. During this year\\nMessrs. Britton and Brown also built a saw mill on the site of Dewey s inill, on\\nsection twenty-one. It was afterwards torn down to make room for the mill\\nwhich now occupies the site.\\nIn 1835 Mr. Fetterman commenced to build a saw mill at the mouth of Rush\\nCreek, just within the limits of Wyoming, and afterwards sold it to Geo. Ketchum,\\nwho completed it, and also put in a run of mill stones for grinding grain. They\\nwere the first ever run in Kent county, and were twenty or twenty-two inches in\\ndiameter.\\nMr. Gideon H.

The next year\\nthe job of boring the well was lot to lion.

The work was then abandoned and the\\nbuildings left to decay.\\nGeorge Ketchum also built a Gang Saw Mill, at an early day, in what is now\\nGeorgetown, Ottawa county, on the site of Jenison s flouring mills.\\nINCIDENTS OF EARLY SETTLEMENT.\\nJustus C. Rogers came to Kent county in 1835. He walked from Detroit to\\nChicago, and from there back to Grand Rapids. At that time the only public\\nconveyance across Michigan was a lumber wagon stage, and walking was prefera-\\nble to riding in it over the roads as they were then. In the spring of 188(3, Mr.\\nRogers built a small frame house on the site of his present residence, on section\\nfourteen, and in September of the same year there came a tornado which took it\\nup from the foundation and carried it about one rod. Wiien it struck it ended\\nover, so that the south end of the frame lay to the north, and the whole building\\na wreck. Some of the roof boards and shingles were carried more than a mile,\\nand the woods were strewed with them for quite a distance. Mr. Roger s family\\nhad not yet arrived, and he was absent from home at the time. The course of\\nthe tornado was from southwest to northeast, and the next building in its course\\nwas a log house, on section six, of Paris, which was occupied by Cyrus Jones and\\nfixmily. This it blew down, to within three or four logs of the ground, but luckily\\nnone of the inmates were seriously injured, although none of them escaped with-\\nout some bruises.\\nErastus and Eli Yeomans came to Grandville in 1835. They came from Pon-\\ntiac on foot, via the Shiawassee trail, and had to ford all the streams. Dwight\\nRankin came with a wagon in 1836, by way of Gull Prairie, and was nine days\\ncoming from Detroit to Grand Rapids. When they forded the Coldwater they\\ngot set, and were an hour or two getting through.\\nA pole boat called the Cinderella, was launched at Grandville in June, 1837,\\nand Mrs. Rankin says the occasion was made one of general rejoicing. All the\\npeople around were invited, and the boat was poled up and down the river, while\\nthey had music and dancing on board. Mr. Lewis Moody came to Grandville in\\nthe spring of 1837, but did not bring his family until November. They, with\\nothers, came by Green Lake, and were six days getting through. They had four\\nox teams, and four wagons, and were frequently obliged to put the four teams on\\none wagon. Just at dark of the fourth day, they came to the outlet of Green\\nLake, and found the poles that composed the bridge afloat, and were about two\\nhours getting across and it was raining all of the time. When they reached the\\nGreen Lake house, they found some three or four others there before them, but\\nthey had none of them had any supper, and all they could muster towards it\\nwere some potatoes and onions that the people who kept the house had, and\\nsome venison that one of the travelers had. Mrs. INIoody told them she could\\nfurnish bread, and they made out a supper that relished weM, tired and hungry", "height": "3122", "width": "1877", "jp2-path": "historydirectory00dil_0115.jp2"}, "116": {"fulltext": "112 HISTORY AND DIRECTORY OF KENT COUNTY.\\nas they were. The next night for supper they had nothing but bread ami the\\nsame, in a very limited quantity, for breakfast. Mr. Moody says the Fourth of\\nJuly, 1837, was the liveliest Fourth he ever saw. The steamboat, Gov.\\nMason, made her trial trip from Grand Rapids to Graadville. Dr. Scran ton was\\nto deliver an address on board of the boat at Grandville, but, as it was very\\nlengthy, when he was but partly through, some one blowed the wliistle, and the\\ncrowd cheered and broke up. There were four liberty poles raised at Grandvillft\\nthat day, but at night none of them were standing. Mr. M. says that when they\\nfirst began to carry the United States mail from Grandville to Grand Haven, they\\nused to tie it up in a pocket handkerchief. Mr. Leonard Stoneljurner relates the\\nfollowing story, which Mr. E. B. Bostwick told of one of tlie mail-carriers, an\\nIrishman. He started from Grandville late, and did not get to the lumber camp,\\nwhere he was to stay all night, until after dark. Just before he got through, Mr.\\nBostwick, who was but a short distance behind him, heard an owl cry out, Tu\\nwho-o, who-o, and the Irishman answered, Me name is Jemmy O Nale, sure,\\nand I carry the mail.\\nEbenezer Davis, now of Wyoming, was one of the early settlers of Kent county,\\nhaving settled at Grand Rapids in 1836. Mr. Davis says that in the sjiring of\\n1837, there was a scarcity of flour; and for three weeks there was none to be\\nhad at Grand Rapids, and almost everybody lived on sturgeon. The first supply\\nof flour came from Jackson, down Grand River, on a flat boat. Mr. Wilder, and\\nothers at Grandville, say that in 1838, they had no flour at Grandville, except\\nsome which was said to have been sunk in Lake Michigan. After knocking\\nthe hoojJS and staves oft the flour retained the shape of the barrel, and\\nhad to be cut to pieces with an axe, and pounded up. That sum-\\nmer was very sickly, and most of the time this was all that could be had\\nfor sick or well. Mrs. McCray says she made bread for her husband, of the same\\nflour, when he was very sick, and for a long time they could get no butter but\\nfinally Mr. Myron Roys, who kept bachelor s hall on his place, and had two cows,\\nmade some for them. Mrs. McCray says that, when she hears people complain of\\nhard times and hard fare, now, she always feels like seeing them have a slight\\ntrial of those times.\\nHiram Jenison says, that, when he came to Grandville in 1834, there was no\\nsettlement between Grandville and Grand Haven, and but two families at Grand\\nHaven Messrs. Ferry and Throoj}. Ottawa was at that time a jiart of Kent county.\\nHe went to Grand Rapids once to attend an election.\\nAt the time Mr. Roys settled in Wyoming all of the opening lands were entirely\\nfree from bushes, and, except the trees, were almost like the prairies. Mr. Roys\\nsays that, the first summer he was in Michigan, he worked for Mr. Wright, at the\\nmill, and the woman who was there to cook for them became homesick, and went\\nback to the settlements, and they put him in cook. He would cook meat, beans,\\netc., as well as any of them, but making biscuit and bread puzzled him. He used\\nto iiut saleratus into sweet milk, until one night his cow laid out, and the milk\\nsoured. He was in trouble but, finally, concluded to put his saleratus into the\\nsour milk, mixed it up and baked it, and found that he had learned to make\\nbiscuit.", "height": "3122", "width": "1877", "jp2-path": "historydirectory00dil_0116.jp2"}, "117": {"fulltext": "HISTORY AND DIRECTORY OF KENT COUNTY.\\n113\\nFIRST TOWNSHIP OFFICERS.\\nThe township of Wyoming was organized in 1848.

On the west side of the river, the ground\\nis nearly level back to the bluffs on the east side, there were smaller hills between\\nthe bank and the bluifs, the leveling of which has cost, and is j et to cost, large\\nsums of money. The east side blutfs, once an ornament to the town, are now\\nmarred with deep cuts and unsightly excavations, which may be likened to con-\\nstantly open sores on the face of nature.

An Indian village had long ex-\\nisted here of the Ottawa tribe before any white men came here to reside. The\\nhistory of this village, of its chiefs and warriors, of its forays and defences, its\\ncouncils and treaties, is lost in oblivion from human knowledge, and only writ-\\nten in the books of the Recording Angel.\\nIn 1831, Isaac McCoy who was appointed by the Board of Managers of the\\nBaptist Missionary convention for the United States, to labor in Illinois and In-\\ndiana visited Gen.

On the west side of Grand River, and on what is now the\\nFifth Ward of the city of Grand Rapids, stood, at that time, a collection of 50 or\\nGO huts, Kewkishkani being the village chief, acknowledging the control of Noon-\\nday, chief of the Ottawas.\\nOn the 28th of June, 1833, Mr. McCoy went from Fort Wayne to Detroit, for\\nthe purpose of securing the privileges of the Chicago treaty, the war department\\nhaving placed the matter under the control of Gen. Cass. Gen. Cass commis-\\nsioned Charles C. Trowbridge to make definite arrangements with the Indians for\\nthe sites of the missionary stations. The site for the Pottawattomie station was\\nestaljlishcd on the St. Joseph River, and that of the Ottawas on the Rapids of\\nGrand River.

In the fall of the same year he had a\\nblacksmith shop set up at Kalamazoo, but only a little was done with it, so far\\nas we can learn, and it was afterwards removed to Grand Rapids.\\nSome time in 1834, as near as we can learn, Rev. L. Slater, Baptist missionary,\\nand a blacksmith, and one or two other white workmen, came to Grand Rapids\\nand commenced work. The winter proved a very hard one, and supplies had to\\nbe sent them on horseback before spring.

Commerce, her necessary\\nhandmaid, was not long in following. The first white settler of Grand Rapids,\\nwho came here to found a business and make himself a home, was Louis Campau,\\nan Indian trader.

His portrait may be found in the City Directory for 1870, thus mak-\\ning his face familiar to those who, from their short term of residence, had not\\nmade his acquaintance.

His\\nancestors were French, and came to Detroit before the war of the Revolution,\\nlie liad but few advantages of early education, but made his own career with a\\nclear head, a strong right arm, and an honest purpose. In the fall of 1814, he\\nwent to Saginaw to trada with the Indians, at which place he remained for ten\\nyears, before removing to Grand Rapids.\\n]Mr. Campau came to Grand Rapids at the solicitation and under the auspices\\nof William Brewster, of Detroit, who was very extensively engaged in the tur\\nbusiness in rivalry with the American Fur Company, and who furnished him with\\nall that he needed to carry on his business. Mr. Campau afterwards opened\\ntrading posts and established his agents at Muskegon, Manistee, Kalamazoo,\\nLowell, Hastings, and Eaton Rapids. He had no trouble with the Indians, but\\nfound them friendly and peaceable. They were uniformly honest, and could be\\ntrusted with goods, never failing to pay as soon as they had the ability.

Toussaint Campau is still a resident of Grand\\nRapids, and not much burdened with the weight of years.\\nIn 1833, the pioneers of civilization, of whom we may call Mr. Campau the fore-\\nrunner and scout, began to find their way to Grand Rapids. A land office was\\nopened at White Pigeon in that year, and Louis Campau and Luther Lincoln\\nwere the first purchasers. Mr. Campau bought a tract of land in what is now the\\ncity of Grand Rapids, and Mr. Lincoln took up a portion of the site of the present\\nvillage of Grandville.\\nIn the spring of 1833, Mr. Samuel Dexter came to Ionia with a colony of 63 per-\\nsons from New York, cutting a road through the woods from Pontiac, which was\\nafterwards known as the Dexter trail and he laid out what is known as the\\nDexter Fraction in this city. Several of this company afterwards became resi-\\ndents of Grand Rapids and vicinity. Louis Campau, who carried a quantity of\\ngoods up the river in batteaux for Mr. Dexter, brought back with him Mr. Joel\\nGuild, carrying his household goods free. He sold 3Ir.

Mail was brought\\nonce a month from Gull Prairie, on the backs of Indian ponies. Postage was two\\nshillings on a letter, and the ties of friendship had to be pretty strong to support\\na regular correspondence.

Jackson wished to make him a present of a good suit of clothes, and\\nasked him what kind he would prefer. He said as General Jackson was Chief of\\nhis people, and he was Chief of the red men, he thought it would be appropriate\\nif he had a suit like his. The General ordered the suit. It was a black frock\\ncoat, black satin vest, black pantaloons, silk stockings, and pumps; but the best\\nof the thing was. Gen. Jackson wore at that time a white bell-crowncLl hat, with\\na weed on it, being at the time in mourning for his wife. The unsuspecting\\nIndian, not knowing that the weed was a badge of mourning, had one on his\\nhat also, which pleased Gen. Jackson and his Cabinet not a little. He was much\\ndelighted with the warm receptions he received in the different cities on his return\\nhome.\\nAfter he returned, a council met to hear the nature of the treaty, where Meccis-\\nsininni distinguished himself as an orator, in his portrayal of the treaty. They\\nsold their lands, and the treaty provided for their removal west of the Mississippi,\\nin a certain number of years; where lands were given them. Several of the\\nChiefs were opposed to the treaty; but Meccissininni was in favor of their re-\\nmoval, and made an eloquent speech in support of it. In his remarks he said that\\nfor his part he had rather remain here, and be buried where his forefathers were\\nbut, on his people s account, he had rather go west of the Mississippi, as his peo-\\nple would become debased by association with the pale faces.\\nIn 1841 he was invited to a Fourth of July celebration. The dinner was served\\nup near the present site of Ball s Foundry, where, after the oration, and refresh-\\nments, the cloth was removed and regular toasts drank. Meccissininni was called\\nupon for a toast, and responded as follows\\nThe pale faces and the red men the former a great nation, and the latter a\\nremnant of a great people may they ever meet in unity together, and celebrate\\nthis great day as a band of brothers.\\nOur narrator relates an incident which occurred while he was keeeping a grocery\\nand provision store on the west side, opposite the Barnard House, where the old\\nferry was located. Meccissininni said he wanted to get trusted for some provis-\\nions, and would pay at the next Indian payment. AVhen he returned from the\\nannual payment, he was asked to settle his bill.

But it failed of being profitable, owing to the difficulties in keeping out\\nfresh water which diluted the brine. We believe Mr. Lyon expended upwards\\nof $20,000 in this experiment, and his jjrofits were nothing. Subsequently, in\\n1858 to 18G4, Messrs. Ball McKee, J. W. Winsor, W. T. Powers, C. W. Taylor,\\nand the late James Scribner, with others, renewed the eft ort to make salt, and\\nseveral wells were sunk, and several thousand barrels made, but East Saginaw\\nhad, in the meantime, found the Seat of Empire, and, from superior and purer\\nbrine, soon demonstrated that she was master of the situation, and our people\\ncould not compete with her, and the works in this city gradually went the way\\nof all unprofitable enterprises.\\nJUDGE WITHEY.\\nHon. Solomon L. Withey was born in St. Albans, Vermont. He came to this\\ncity in 1838. After studying law for some time he was admitted to the bar, and\\nbecame the law partner ot Hon. John Ball in 1844. He was also, for several years,\\nlaw partner of Hon. George Martin, afterwards Chief Justice of the Supreme\\nCourt of Michigan now deceased. In 1848 he was chosen Judge of Probate for\\nKent county, and held that ofiice for four years. In 1860 he was elected State\\nSenator, and served during the regular session, and two extra sessions called to\\nmeet the exigencies of the rebellion. Upon the organization of the Western Dis-\\ntrict of Michigan, in 1803, he was appointed by President Lincoln to the honora-\\nble position of LTnited States District Judge thereof, in which capacity he has\\nsince served. In 1869 he was tendered an appointment as Judge of the United\\nStates Circuit, comprising the States of Michigan, Ohio, Kentucky, and Tennes-\\nsee, which, after due consideration, he declined.

It is possible that some men in the county work harder than Mr. Peirce,\\nand that some man may get off more jokes, but entirely improbable that any\\nother man works as hard and says as many funny things as he does. He came to\\nGrand Rapids to reside in the year 1840, from Detroit, and studied law in the\\noffice of Judge Martin, along with Hon. S. L. Withey, acting as Deputy County\\nClerk in 1842-B. In 1853 and 18o4, he was City Clerk, and, in 1854, he was elected\\nClerk of Kent County, which office he held during a period of fourteen years.\\nHe was generally conceded to be as good a County Clerk as any in the State, and\\nwas always in high favor with the Judge and members of the bar. The young\\nlawyers regarded him almost as a father, and men from all parts of the county\\ncame to him with their grievances, sure of sympathy, and assistance if it lay in\\nhis power. During the past eighteen years he has contributed largely to the city\\npress, on various topics of personal and local interest to the community, and is a\\nwalking encyclopedia of useful information with regard to all that has transpired\\nin the county since he came here. He enjoyed great popularity with the soldiers\\nduring the rebellion, and has worked steadily for their interests at all times. In\\n1868 he was elected State Senator, in which capacity he has proved one of the\\nmost influential men from this part of the State. He is now assistant to Hon.\\nWilliam A.

He had many tempting offers\\nto go to various cities, where his vast capacity could have a larger field of useful-\\nness, but he declined them all, for he had ffreat faith in the future of this city and\\ncounty, and ventured the prognostication that persons were then born who\\nwould live to see a population of 30,000 inhabitants here. Doct. Cuming erected\\nthe substantial residence (on the hill between Bridge and Bronsou), now occu-\\npied by his esteemed widow and fomily, and was eighteen years rector of the\\nEpiscopal Church, erecting, with the aid of his flock, the large stone edifice on\\nDivision, at the iiead of Pearl street, now occupied by St. Mark s congregation.\\nREV. JAMES BALLARD.\\nOne of the pioneers who has made his mark in the valley City, is the Rev. James\\nBallard, a native of Charlemont, Massachusetts, who graduated at Williams Col-\\nlege, and, after residing for some time in Vermont, found his way to this city in\\n1837. He was pastor of the Congregational Church for ten years, and, during\\nthat time, exhiljited such zeal and enterprise as will forever associate his nam6\\nwith the history of that society. The old Congregational Church building, in\\nuse until about a year ago, was, through his efforts, purchased of Mr. Louis\\nCampau, and Mr. Ballard walked seventeen hundred miles, through the Eastern\\nStates, and appealed to the churches there to assist him in buying a Catholic\\nChurch building, for the use of a Protestant society. When he had raised the\\ngreater part of the sum required, he came home and mortgaged his own property\\nto pay the remainder. (The old church was built by Mr. Campau, in 1837, and,\\nuntil the last stick of it is in ashes, it will be a monument to the noble, religious\\nzeal of Louis Campau, the Catholic, and James Ballard, the Protestant. Mr.\\nCampau sold it because his business affairs required the use of a part of the\\nmoney which it cost, and the Church was not able to refund it.) When the\\nchurch changed hands, the Catholics reserved the iron cross which surmounted\\nthe cupola, and, in removing it, a man lost his life.\\n17", "height": "3122", "width": "1877", "jp2-path": "historydirectory00dil_0133.jp2"}, "134": {"fulltext": "130 HISTORY AND DIRECTORY OF KENT COUNTY.\\nMr. Ballard, as mentioned hereafter, has been, at different times, principal of\\nboth the Union Schools in this city, lie still resides here, as active as ever, and\\nis now State Agent for the Frecdmen s Aid Societj-, in which capacity he is, as\\nusual, doing a good work. lie is also very extensively known for his labors in\\nthe Sunday School cause.\\nGRAND RAPIDS IN 1840.\\nProf Franklin Everett, in the City Directory for 1805, thus describes tlie infant\\ncity of twenty-four years ago:\\nWe will step back about twenty years to the time when I first saw the village\\nin the wilderness.

The former is 50x70\\nfeet in size, and is two stories high.\\nMr. Harrison has about 35 men constantly in his employ, and has turned out\\nduring the past year 700 wagons. He is doing a large wholesale business through-\\nout this State, and sends some of his wagons as far as Texas. They are sold, in\\nlarge numbers, in the States of Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska, Minnesota, and Iowa.\\nHe does not confine himself to the wholesale trade, however, but does a large re-\\ntail business. Everybody has heard of Harrison s wagons, and very many in\\nthis vicinity, and elsewhere, can testify to their strength and durability.\\nBDTTERWORTH LOWE S FOUNDRY AND MACHINE SHOP.\\nLocated near the foot of the east side canal, in the very heart of the city, are\\nthe Foundry and Machine Shops of Butterworth Lowe. Long years ago a por-\\ntion of the sitj on whicli they stand was occupied by Uncle Louis Campau s In-\\ndian trading post. These works were first started by James McCray. since de-\\nceased, in 1843. In 1844, Mr. Daniel Ball became a partner. In 1851, Mr.\\nMcCray died, and the business was carried on by Mr. Ball, in company with G.\\nM. and S. B. McCray sons of the first proprietor. Mr. Ball finally bought out\\ntheir interests, and, in 1850, admitted Mr. R. E. Butterworth as a j)artner. Mr.\\nButterworth, two years later, bought out Mr. Ball, and was sole proprietor until\\n18G9, when he admitted his present j)artner, Mr. James Lowe, recently from near\\nManchester, England. Mr. G. M. McCray is now principal foreman. These works\\nare among the oldest and largest in western Michigan, and occupy, with foundry,\\nmachine shops, blacksmith shops, agricultural shop, pattern shop, storehouses,\\netc., over half an acre of ground giving employment to from fifty to sixty hands.\\nBERKEY BROS.

Their retail^ rooms are situated\\nat No. 43 Monroe street, occupying three floors, each 35x90 feet in size, in one\\nl)U)ck, and two of about the same dimensions in an adjoining building. They are\\nnow making, and keep on hand, some of the finest upholstery work, lamberkins\\nand cornices, manufactured in the country. During the past year thoy have\\nshipped about $150,000 worth of furniture of their own manufacture, and their\\ntrade extends not only over our own state, but into New York, Pennsylvania,\\nOhio. Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin, Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska, Kansas, Missouri,\\nand Colorado. They employ as many as 120 men in and about their establish-\\nment, and keep on hand some 1,500,000 feet of walnut and other valuable\\nlumber.\\nEMPIRE GANG SAW MILLS.\\nAmong the most important manufacturing establishments in Grand Rapids are\\nthe extensive steam saw mills of Wonderly Co., situated on the west side of\\nGrand River, between Leonard street Bridge and the track of the Detroit Mil-\\nwaukee Railroad. This enterprising firm, thoroughly acquainted with the lum-\\nber business in Pennsylvania, commenced operations here in the latter part of\\nOetoljer, 18G9. Since that time they have erected one of the most extensive saw\\nmills in the State, capable of cutting 15,000,000 teet per season, and manufactured,\\nup to November 1st, 1870, over 8,000,000 feet of lumber. Their main building is\\n50x116 feet in size, two stories high, and has engine and boiler rooms attaclied.\\nThe macbinery is rua by two engines of 150 horse power. A gang of saws, in\\nwhich twenty-ciglit saws can be run when necessary, converts the largest log into\\nboards in a few minutes, it being first trimmed on two sides by a five foot circular\\nsaw. The lumber is distributed in the yard by means of some 4,500 feet of horse-\\nrailway, elevated about ten leet from the ground. A railroad track extends to\\ntlie yard, which, with about 1,000 feet of track between the diflTerent lumber\\npiles, gives easy access to all railroads extending from the city. Their logs are\\nprocured on Rouge River, Flat River, Fish Creek, and their tributaries, where\\nthey have a supply of pine timber that will last for many years. Their booms\\nhold about 2,000,000 feet of logs at one time. They ship immense quantities of\\nlumber to southern Michigan, Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky, and some to Pennsyl-\\nvania, competing successfully with Chicago dealers. In connection with the saw\\nmill is a large planing mill, .containing two heavy flooring and matching machines,-\\na surf^xcing machine, patent siding mill, circular re-sawing machine, etc. J.
