She was born in Geneva, New York, August 30, 1818, was married ()c- tober 31. 1843, and for nearly five years had been confined to the house as an invalid on account of a fractured bone.

OUR AGED MARRIED PEOPLE.
Last year the oldest married people in the county were: Mr. and Mrs. Vosburg of Lowell, married in 1840; Mr. and Mrs. Wilkinson of Crown Point, married October 31, 1843; and Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Clark of Crown Point, married December 7, 1843.
Now, March, 1905, the record is: The first two died in 1904, having been married about 64 years, and on March 4, of this month Mrs. Wilkinson passed away from this world, having been married 61 years and 4 months. Mr. and Mrs. Clark alone remain as the oldest now known in the county.
This record continues: D. K. Burnham of Lowell, died March 20th, at his Lowell home, 74 years of age.
And on Friday, March 31st, there died in Florida, Cal- vin Manahan, at 8:30 in the morning. The body was soon prepared for shipment and was brought to Crown Point for burial, arriving on Sunday, April 2, 1905. The two, Mr. Burnham and Mr. Manahan, had been intimate asso- ciates and one in a few days followed the other into the

unseen world. Calvin Manahan was born in New York State, July 4, 1827. He was married in 1847, to Sarah Wheeler, with whom he lived for about fifty-eight years, residing in Crown Point for more than fifty years. Hc retired from business life, in which he had been a very active citizen, about 1875. He and his wife were accus- tomed to spend their winters in the South, but death visits even the lands of sunshine and of flowers.
Mrs. Hannah Caswell, in youth Hannah Mitchell. was born in Maine, April 4, 1808, was married November I, 1832, lived in Crown Point in her son's family, for twenty- four years, and died April 17, 1905, the oldest inhabitant of Crown Point, 97 years of age.
Died on Saturday, July 22d Mrs. Sasse, widow of our former Recording Secretary. Henry Sasse Jun. She was born in Germany Sept. 4, 1828, and so was nearly 77 years of age, having been a resident of this county almost 53 years.
27. A few words, surely, may fittingly be recorded here in regard to the large work of 1904 called an "Ency- clopedia of Genealogy and Biography of Lake County, Indiana, with a Compendium of History, 1834-1904," issued by the Lewis Publishing Company of Chicago and New York. The name "Ball" is on the back, and the title page says "Rev. T. H. Ball of Crown Point, Editor- in-Chief," and these two circumstances or facts seem to have led some to think that I was the real publisher, or at least was responsible for the price of the book and had a financial interest in its sale. And so I think it only justice to myself to state that I had nothing to do with
1
-87-
the origin or publishing of the work or with the price of the book. I made editorial contributions to the book, was the author of the first 167 pages, and contributed also the manuscript for 13 other pages, making in all 180 pages, or some more than one-fourth of the whole work,. as my portion of the writing. The Lewis Publishing Com- pany treated me handsomely, paid me promptly for my writing, and gave me three copies of the book, one of which was for the "Lake County Miscellany." Whatever some of our citizens may think of the price put upon the work by the publishers, any one can see that it is a costly book. Copies of it, I hope, may long live in Lake county.

HISTORICAL PAPERS.
A Paper read by Mrs. M. J. Cutler, (in 1848 Mary Jane Ball), at the 29th anniversary of the Association, August 24, 1904. The names given are not real; the incidents are real, not fiction.
THE FOURTH OF JULY IN THE WEST IN 1848.
Cannons, anvils, bells, fire-crackers and shouts, usher in each Fourth of July as the years bring it around, but fifty- six years ago, less than a hundred miles from Chicago, the great sun looked over the tree-tops of Indiana forests to say "Good morning" to the prairies of Illinois, and found no outward suggestion of National anniversary or martial glory.
No cannon's roar had ever been heard, no guns aroused the midnight sleepers, or welcomed the sunrise of the eventful day. no loads of celebrants went to a patriotic gathering, with their dinners and shouts and noise, no drum and fife kept time to soldiers' tread, or bugle notes "set the wild echoes flying."
But a quiet, isolated home, nestled among the great trees that bordered the prairies, felt the throb of patriotic life that from Plymouth Rock was beating westward, and the early dawn of July 4th, 1848, found a family all astir and enthusiastic. For some days before, each one, even to the youngest, had received a card like this which lies before me now:
Miss Merle J. Vale is invited to partake of a choice dinner with her Parents, Brothers, and Sisters, in the green yard, Tuesday, July 4th, 1848, at 3 o'clock P, M, A, H. VALE.

Oh, the delight of that first invitation! For fifty years ago, to be a thousand miles west of Boston, meant almost out of the world, and for a New England family to find their permanent home apart from kindred and friends in the far, far West, meant privation of all social life and customs. So that first invitation opened a new world to the imagination of the children, whose parents for more than ten years had lived in this delightful home on the borders of civilization.
"Shall we ever hear a cannon, do you suppose?" was anxiously asked by more than one of the youthful group.
"Undoubtedly you will many a time," was the reply, "but I hope never again in National warfare.'
Alas! alas! only a few short years, and shot and shell and cannons' roar are heard from Ft. Sumpter through the land, and the brightest and sunniest of that group sleeps under the flag.
But the morning of that eventful day was ushered in with music no longer heard, for no cannon's roar ever sounded the jubilant notes of rejoicing, like the multitude of spring and summer birds that from woodland, prairie, and lake, united their voices on that glorious Fourth. Robins and thrushes and blue-birds, cat-birds and larks, by the hundreds, filled the air with their songs, and the quails from every bush and grassy hiding place called out their "Bob White." These were doubtless from the nest in a hazel thicket just across the ravine, where weeks before · little Edward had discovered, carefully concealed among the grass and bushes, a nest of thirty-three quail's eggs and kept the knowledge as carefully to himself till they were hatched and gone. And the prairie chickens, seem-

ingly belated from the springtime, made their morning salute to the sunrise with their continuous booming.
A delightfur shower the day previous had cooled the air, and washed the dust from grass and foliage. The loveliest of blue skies and a soft breeze made the "green yard," with its great oak trees and thick grass, the perfec- tion of a dining room, where scarce a fleck of sunlight was visible on the long table. Some neighboring families a few miles north and east had been invited, making abont thirty in all.
Wild enthusiasm prevailed among the children while setting the table, for no feast had been prepared within their remembrance, to bring into use all the sets of dishes stored away in a cupboard and seldom used, and all brought from the East a dozen years before, and conse- quently much superior to anything of newer date, or even from Chicago's great stores.
"O see, isn't this just lovely?" said Merle, as she pre- pared the large dinner plates of light blue, with honey- suckle vines and flowers delicately traced.
"Yes, but what can this represent?" said Gertie. "Evi- dently some story is on these dark blue ones of grandma's. Here is a castle and mountains and trees, a stream and bridge, and these two young folks must be running away. and that old man is pursuing them. Suppose we lay them where her table-cloth is with Tam O'Shanter on it. See, he is just to the bridge, and one witch with her broom has caught hold of the horse's tail, another is following flour- ishing her broom, and another is riding her's." So the peculiar table-cloth and dishes were placed together.

Then a set of light brown were of beautiful design, with the big platters and lovely tureens, and the dessert plates of light blue with scalloped edges, and the white china with gold band, and the cut-glass tumblers of different sizes-no wonder the little children were all excitement!
The facilities for preparing a feast in that western home were wonderful. Two large old-fashioned fire-places, cheerful in the winter with crackling, blazing logs, could roast and broil; and a rotary stove, bought at Detroit when moving west, had a capacious tin oven of three pieces which was put on top of the stove, and six or seven loaves of bread, or a cake two feet across, could be beau- tifully baked; the whole top of the stove turning with a crank and bringing any part over the fire.
The table was loaded with all the good things attain- able in a new country, and delicacies which money cannot now procure. Rock bass from the lovely little lake were browned to perfection. A whole roast pig in the center of the table, with wild plums for eyes and a nubbin of corn in its mouth, looked prepared for mortal combat, and was flanked on either side by prairie chickens fat and juicy, roast venison, wild ducks, steaks from the sand-hill crane, and a huge chicken pie, delicious as no other ever has been. Lemons were not to be had, and ice was un- known, but currants in abundance, and cold water from the new well, made currantade a luxury beyond compare.
After dinner were toasts led by Mr. Vale, and partici- pated in by some of the guests and the two older sons. one of whom in response to "Our Illustrious Orators," said in part:
1
-- 94-
"In every city and town in our broad country to-day, have the best speakers and greatest minds given their no- blest thoughts for our country's welfare, and we will look forward with eagerness to receive ten days hence, here in our western home, the 'Springfield Republican.' and other eastern papers, which will undoubtedly publish many of the finest orations given in New England, which we will read with intense interest, especially Webster's."
Said Mrs. Patton to Mr. Vale: "Your son spoke of get- ting the papers in ten days. Have you ever had your mail as soon as that?"
"Yes, our last letters were ten duys from New York. I think the government has established a new distributing office which shortens the route. Still I do not think we will get the papers before Tuesday's mail two weeks from now, as they will not be printed in time to be sent out for Saturday. Since the postage has been reduced to ten cents, we feel like writing quite often."
"So do we, The girls wrote to all our friends immedi- ately, and were very enthusiastic over it. We do not seem so far away when we hear frequently, and know what our friends were doing ten days ago. The thousand miles that took us weeks to travel over when we moved here, seem shorter than they used to seem."
"Indeed they do. Even in '38 when our friends came out, it took them nineteen days from New York City."
As the perfect day drew to a close, the night-hawks swooped down with a loud whirr for their prey, the mourn- ing doves answered each other from a distance, and the whip poor-wills plaintively called from many a tree and stump. The frogs by the thousand in the lake gave an

orchestral performance of enormous strength and power, and from the reeds and sedge at the foot of the lake, came the booming of the bitterns in their sad and lonely cries.
As darkness deepened one and another of the little folks began to inquire: "Isn't it most time for the fire-crack- ers?" and when the long-desired answer was given, then began the exuberant wonder and delight of those who had never seen the sparks of patriotism on the glorious Fourth, and as Roman candles and wheels and all kinds of fire-works then obtainable in Chicago, were fired from the post by the garden gate, each was a signal for louder shouts and greater praise.
O, that lovely green yard! A half century has robbed it of all of its beauty. Of the eighteen magnificent old oak trees that surrounded the house, some spreading their great sheltering arms over its roof, but five remain.
The birds have mostly gone, the quails and prairie chickens have gone, the swan and the pelican, the deer and the sand-hill crane disappeared years ago from their favorite haunts, the squirrels are no more chattering in the woods, the buffalo wallows have all been plowed over and the Indian trails have not been recognized for fifty years.

HISTORY OF WEST CREEK TOWNSHIP.
As our Association is interested in encouraging young writers of history in our county, I do not hesitate to in- sert here one of those townthip histories referred to on page 57. I hope some others may yet come into my hands.
West Creek township is in the southwest part of Lake county, its average size being twelve miles long and five miles wide. It was divided from South township and made a separate township in 1839, and its name was taken from the creek which flows through it, being called West Creek because it is the farthest west of the three creeks flowing through the south part of Lake county.
There was much more prairie than timber. The timber lands were found along West Creek and south of the State road, while north of this road and extending beyond the northern boundary of the township the land was one large prairie, known as Lake Prairie. The first settlers did not make any roads, but went anywhere. through the prairie and timber lands.
The wild animals were very numerous, there being deer, wolves, rattlesnakes and other reptiles, and many other small fur-bearing animals. The deer were easily killed, Robert Wilkinson going out one morning and kill- ing ten.
. There were a few Indians, the Pottawatomies, in the township. A treaty with them was made in 1832, and when the first settlers came there were not many left.
Some of the first settlers in this township were: Rob- ert Wilkinson, 1835; John Kitchel, 1836, G. L. Foster, 1836, Reuben Chapman, 1836; Nehemiah Hayden, 1837; H. M. Spaulding, 1838, Bethuel Hathaway, 1838; Wel-
-97-
lington A. Clark, 1839, Peter D. Hathaway, 1839, all of whom settled near West Creek. Also William Sanders, 1841, and David Pulver, 1842, who settled near the San- ders' cemetery. Their first occupation was hunting and trapping, but they soon turned their attention to farm- ing, having to go as far as Chicago for their supplies. In the northwest part of the township were Charles Marvin, 1836; the Fullers, 1849, and Knisleys, 1852. In the north- east part were the Taylors and Palmers. In the east and central parts were John Wheeler, a surveyor, 1847; Brannons, 1844, Burhans, 1853, and Belshaws. 1842. Later, in 1856 and '57 a number of families from New Hampshire settled on Lake Prairie, among whom were the Little's, Ames', Wason's, Gerrish'es, Morey's, and Plummer's.
Methodist services were held as early as 1840 in private houses, and the first church, a frame, was built in 1844, a little north of the State road and east of the creek. This church stood until 1869, when it was replaced by a new one. Among the first members of this church were: John Kitchel and wife, Silas Hathaway and wife, Peter D. Hathaway and wife, Mrs. Nehemiah Hayden, and Mrs. Spaulding. The second church was built by the German Methodists in the northern part of the township in 1855. In 1857 Lake Prairie Presbyterian church was organized by the people of the New Hampshire settlement with Rev. H. Wason for pastor. Their church was not built until several years later. In 1895 a Christian church was built near the Sander's burial ground.
The first school house was built of logs in 1838, near Torrey bridge, by the people who lived near there. There
الصياد
£
-08-
were benches for the children to sit on and a long board in front for them to write on. This school house stood for ten years and then the school was held in private houses. The first teachers received one dollar per week and had to board around, with the patrons of the school. The second school house was built in the Clark grove, northwest from the place where the present West Creek school house stands.
The first bridge over West Creek was built by N. Hay- den at a cost of $400, and was west from the place where the Lake Prairie church now stands. It was called Torrey bridge, the name being that of the man who lived near the bridge. At that time there were only two or three little travelled roads, but new ones have been built as they were needed, and at the present time there are roads in all parts of the township.
When the early settlers came, the southern part of the township, a strip of land four or five miles in width and extending across the township north of the Kankakee River, was all swamp. There were no roads across this land and it could be crossed only in very dry weather, or in the winter when the ground was frozen. Much hunt- ing and trapping were done on this marsh, and the farm- ers from the praire got nearly all their wood from this place, hauling it when the ground was frozen. About 1868 a road was built running from east to west on a ridge just north of the river, and about ten years later another road was built, running north and south and connecting the first with the road on the higher land. Now there are many roads crossing the marsh; ditches have been dug, and land drained generally so that most of it can be cul-

tivated, and, especially in dry years, big crops of corn are raised.
Hiram Wason, Samuel Ames, and Joseph Little have been representatives in the State Legislature.
At the present time West Creek is one of the best town- ships in the county, farming being the only occupation. All parts are quite thickly settled, the northwestern part being occupied chiefly by Germans. Excepting for a year or two there never has been a saloon in the town- ship. ETHEL M. HATHAWAY
