"When I visited Calvin township recently," says Mr. Washington, "I found that it contained a population of 759 negroes and 512 whites. In addition to these a large negro population had overflowed into the adjoining township of Porter, and to some extent into all but two of the towns in the county. As I drove from Cassopolis in the direction of Calvin township, we soon began going through well cultivated farms and past comfortable-looking farm houses. The farms for the most part in their general appearance compared favorably with the aver- age farms we saw in Michigan. Many of the houses were large, at- tractive and well built. The yards were made beautiful with grass, shrubbery and flowers. The barns, stock, poultry and other farm at- tachments were in keeping with everything else we saw. In our drive of nearly ten hours, in which we covered nearly thirty miles of terri- tory, through Calvin township and a part of Porter, we saw little to in- dicate that we were in a negro town except the color of the faces of the people. They were up to the average of their white neighbors.
"In a few cases it was interesting to see standing on the same premises the small cabin in which the people began life years ago, and then to see near it a modern frame cottage containing six or seven rooms. To me it was interesting and encouraging to note to what extent these people 'lived at home,' that is, produced what they con- sumed. My visit took me through the community during the harvest- ing season, and at that time most of the farmers were engaged in threshing wheat and oats. On one farm we saw a large modern steam thresher at work, operated wholly by negroes and owned by a negro, Mr. Henry L. Archer. Mr. Archer not only threshed grain for the negro farmers in the township, but for the white farmers as well."
Mr. Washington spoke highly, but in terms which all citizens would approve, of the successful colored men above mentioned, mmely.

HISTORY OF CASS COUNTY
William Allen, Samuel Hawks, Cornelius Lawson, Jesse W. Madrey, and C. W. Bunn. Continuing his description, he states that "a con- siderable number of the colored people of Calvin township own their homes. and many of those who are renting are doing so from negro landowners. In a few cases white people in the county are renting property owned by negroes."
With respect to political relations and civic performance Mr. Washington could find no evidence that "there was any friction he- tween the two races. The county officials informed me that there were no reports of cheating at the ballot boxes, and that the affairs of the township were conducted as well politically as any in the county. For some years it had been the boast of the negro tax collector of Calvin county that he was one of the first collectors to secure and pay into the county treasury all of the township taxes. * Each township in the county is entitled to one representative on the county board of supervisors which has the control of the affairs of the entire county. The representative of Calvin is a black man, and I was told by several white people of the county that the negro supervisor voted in- telligently and conservatively.
I was informed by several reliable white men of the county that there had never been any trouble worth mentioning growing out of political differences. When the war between the states broke out, as soon as colored soldiers were permitted to enlist, practically every negro man in the township who was eligible enlisted and went to the front. As a result there is a Grand Army post in Calvin named Matthew Artis Post, in honor of one of the old set- tlers and soldiers. * In my inspection of their church houses there were two things that specially pleased me. One was the fine and neat appearing parsonage which stood near the Chain Lake Baptist church; the other was the appearance of the graveyard near the same building. The church house, the parsonage and the graveyard gave one a picture which made him feel he was in a Massachusetts village. The graveyard was laid out in family plots, and most of the graves had marble slabs or headstones. There were evidences that the burial place received systematic care."
Since the enfranchisement of the negro no distinction is made between the white and colored men for jury service in the courts of the county, and among the jurors on the regular panel at each term of the circuit court are found colored men, both members from Calvin at the September ( 1906) term belonging to that race.

HISTORY OF CASS COUNTY
ley, now deceased, then of Cassopolis, was the first colored man to be summoned and accepted as a juror in Cass county. His son later served four years as register of deeds of the county.
While on his visit to the county Mr. Washington took opportunity to gain the opinion of some of the white men whose positions made their judgment concerning the race valuable. Judge L. B. Des Voignes spoke with convicition of the improvement of the material condition of the negroes during the preceding twenty years, and of the decrease of crime among them. "I do not recall any instance where white resi- dents of the township have objected to colored people buying land there. 1 do not think there is any depreciation in the price of land. To a stranger buying land the colored residents might be an objection ; but I do not think it would be to those who know the colored people of Calvin. The colored residents have helped to contribute to the prosperity of the county, considering the opportunities they have had. There is a prosperous colored community in Volinia, of not more than a hundred persons, and there are colored residents in several of the townships of Cass county."
Mr. C. O. Harmon, then county clerk, corroborated the testimony of Judge Des Voignes, adding that the colored people were "quick to take advantage of improvements, such as the telephone and improved machinery. The merchants of Cassopolis find these people extra good customers. That may be one criticism to make-that they buy too freely for their own good." Mr. C. C. Nelson gave as his opinion that whereas the people of Calvin were once haphazard and lawless, the township at one time furnishing two-thirds of the court business of the county, that condition was now past and the colored people had im- proved more, proportionately, than the whites.
The editor of this history was quoted by Mr. Washington as saying that "the first generation of negro settlers were fine men-none better. The second generation was bad. The third shows a marked improvement But through it all the best men have supported the law unfailingly. There is no social mingling. but otherwise the relations of the races are entirely friendly. I do not know of more than a dozen marriages between the whites and the blacks in the entire county."
The observations and inferences of Mr. Washington, though the result of a brief visit to his people, must stand in the main as correct and judicious. The settlement will long deserve serious consideration

HISTORY OF CASS COUNTY
and study as one of the notable experiments in the development of a racial community in mastering and adapting the principles of American democracy. Evidences of clannishness among the colored people are to be considered in a favorable light, since it seems that a wholesome integration of the race, independent, yet harmonious, is the true solti- tion of the "negro problem." The ideas of these people certainly tend to good citizenship and a desire for homes, schools and morality. Yet the struggles of the settlement in this direction have some pathetic shadows. It is confessed that the disturbing element in this colony comes from the injection of a lower type from communities which have not had the advantages of that in Cass county. As long, then, as the older settlers remain predominant, with the training in self-con- trol and civic strength which "two generations of freedom" give then, the welfare of the community seems to be assured. But what if the stock be weakened by the withdrawal to the cities-which is certainly taking place among the younger people-and the infusion of inferior classes among those that remain? Can this small colony, enterprising and high-minded though it is, become the leaven for the whole lump and succeed in communicating its inheritance to all those who come? These questions need cause no immediate alarm, since all conditions point to progress rather than retrogression.
Education and schools received little mention by Mr. Washing- ton because his visit to the county was during the summer vacation. The school at Calvin Center is entirely attended by negro children and taught by a colored man, and several other schools have negro teachers and colored children in the majority. Comparing these with other schools for the race, especially those to be found in the south, there is afforded ground for the highest satisfaction with the progress these people are making in education. A comparison with one of the schools in the same county supported and attended by the whites results to the advantage of the latter, as should be natural. The colored people believe thoroughly in schools and send their children to them as a mat- ter of course, but it is confessed that they are not so strict in keeping them in school as their white neighbors, although the recent compulsory attendance law will leave little latitude in that direction for either race.
There is a difference of opinion regarding the power of the churches, some maintaining that their hold on the people is not so strong as formerly and that the ministers are not broadening as rapidly

HISTORY OF CASS COUNTY
as the people in their conceptions of moral duties and the relations of the church to society. The modern era has certainly brought many new interests which the older and less educated negroes did not have. Read- ing is more general and it is probable that not a family with a settled home goes without a weekly perusal of the local paper, and many metropolitan papers go out daily over the rural routes to these homes in Calvin and Porter. Literary societies, fraternities and bands and other musical interests are not uncommon and indicate the widening scope of the people's training and progress.
To the general observer it seems that there is a tendency to seg- regation of the race. This is encouraging rather than to be considered with delicate tact in conversation. As the colored people are becom- ing more independent and better adapted to American ideals, it seems that the bonds of race will bring them closer in their own social rela- tions and at the same time strengthen those relations in business, edu- cation, politics and activity for the general welfare which do not recog- nize racial lines. By all means the planting of a negro colony in Cass county two generations ago has redounded to the credit of the world and advanced society one step further toward the goal of aspiration and striving on the part of this age. And for Cass county it is no small distinction that it has been the arena on which some of the most interesting and pressing problems of race assimilation and adaptation have been advanced to solution.

CHAPTER XXII.
MILITARY RECORDS.
The military history of Cass county has already been written in de- tail in the work of 1882. Fortunately the crises which demand almost unanimous outpouring of life and property in defense of country occur but rarely. The Sauk and Black Hawk war was the first martial event that concerned this county and, as we know, was too distant to eatise more than an aların and militia muster. The war with Mexico made comparatively small demand on the volunteer forces of the country, and no organization and perhaps no individuals from Cass county partic- ipated in that war. But the Civil war called for the county's best and bravest, and the call was not made in vain. The manhood of the state was drained off to fight in the south, and Cass county may never cease to be proud of the record her soldiers made in the rebellion. As stated, the history of our soldiers in that war has been fully written, not only in the Cass county history but forms a part of the annals of the state and nation. The detailed description of the movements of the regiments and divisions to which Cass county soldiers belonged does not, there- fore, seem to require repetition on these pages. But the names of those who enlisted from this county to fight on the battlefields of the south deserve space in every history of the county, and for this reason the individual records of Cass county soldiers in the Civil war are appended in full to this chapter.
No regular organization was formed in this county for service in the Spanish-American war. Some individuals enlisted in the regiments formed in the state to fill out Michigan's quota, but so far as known none of these reached the field of action, most of the volunteers for that war getting their military experience in camp on American shores.
Cass county has several representatives in the regular army and navy. In the list of Dowagiac high school alumni will be found brief mention of several who have attained rank in the army. Cassopolis is also proud of three young men now in the regular service of their country each with the rank of lieutenant, they being Frank M. Bennett and Steven V. Graham, in the navy, and Jay Paul Hopkins in the army.

HISTORY OF CASS COUNTY
CASS COUNTY SOLDIERS IN THE CIVIL WAR.
The following records represent the enlistments and service of Cass county men in the various regiments of the northern armies. In a few cases an entire company of a regiment would be composed of Cass county boys, but as a rule the roster of the regiments show those from this county distributed through the companies, occasionally only one Cass county soldier being found in a company. But the compilation is thought to contain the names of all those who went from this county.
The individual record consists generally of the dates of enlistment and of the muster out or discharge, or of the sadder chronicle of death on the field or in hospital. The abbreviations used to convey these and other facts are self-explanatory.
