CHURCHES.
There are, in this city, twenty church buildings, and two more in process of erection. The finest among these are the Congregational, Methodist Episcopal, Episcopal, Presbyterian, Catholic (new), True Reformed, Second Reformed, and Universalist churches. Anything like a satisfactory history of the different socie- ties would far transcend the limits of this sketch.
RAILROADS.
The first train of cars entered Grand Rapids on the tenth day of July, 1858, at 4:30 r. M .: the Detroit & Milwaukee Railroad Company having that day com- pleted their road to the long expectant and previously isolated city. This was one of the most important events, as touching the development of the town, that we have to record, and let in at once a new tide of enterprise and capital.
The next road that led out from the place was a section of the Grand Rapids & Indiana Railroad from here to Cedar Springs, on which regular trains commenced running on the twenty-third day of December, 1867. Through trains commenced running on this road, to Fort Wayne, Indiana, on the tenth day of October, 1870; opening a new market for our manufactures, which promises to prove of great importance to the leading branches of industry.
The first train of cars on the Kalamazoo, Allegan & Grand Rapids Railroad, now a division of the Lake Shore & Michigan Southern Railroad, arrived on the first day of March, 1860.
Regular trains commenced running on the Grand River Valley Railroad, now a branch of the Michigan Central, on the seventeenth day of January, 1870.
MANUFACTURING ESTABLISHMENTS -- PLASTER.
F. GODFREY & BROS.'
plaster works are situated in the city, on the Grand River, and convenient to all the railroads for shipping. They have 100 acres of plaster land. The stratum of plaster is about twelve feet thick, exposed by removing the carthi above it, and furnishes 33,000 tons per acre. F. Godfrey discovered plaster at this point in 1859, and works were erected in 1860, the product for that year being about 1,000
133
HISTORY AND DIRECTORY OF KENT COUNTY.
tons. From this amount the yearly product has steadily increased until 1869, in which year they quarried 12,000 tons. They have one water mill and a steam mill, each with two run of stone, and can grind in the two mills 80 tons of plaster in ten hours, or 160 tons in 20 hours. Their calcining works are very extensive, being sufficient to manufacture 260 barrels of calcined plaster per day, and their capital is amply sufficient for all their purposes.
THE WEST SIDE OF GRAND RIVER.
The first plaster discoveries on the west side of Grand River were made by Mr. R. E. Butterworth, an English gentleman of culture and enterprise, now propric- tor of one of the principal machine shops and founderies in Grand Rapids. He purchased 162 acres of land, now owned by the Grand Rapids Plaster Company, in 18€2. ITis knowledge of geology led him to think that his land contained plaster rock, and he made repeated boring's to ascertain the fact. In 1849 he dis- covered plaster near the present site of the Eagle Mills, and erected a plaster mill in 1852. In 1856 he sold to Ilovey & Co. for $35,000.
EAGLE MILLS.
Ilovey & Co. bought their property in 1856, and built their mill during the summer of 1857. The first year they mined about 2,000 tons. The business steadily increased until 1860, when the Grand Rapids Plaster Company was or- ganized and the firm of Hovey & Co. merged in that. The amount of plaster quar- ried and sold by them prior to 1869 was about 98,000 tons, and for 1869 the total was about 18,000 tons. They have now increased their facilities, so that they can grind 200 tons of land plaster in 20 hours, and have the power to double their capacity it they choose. They have just completed and put in running order a new engine of 200 horse power, and have facilities for loading from 40 to 50 cars per day. They have also recently put in one of the Illinois Pneumatic Gas Com- pany's machines for lighting their quarry and mill. The quarry is under a low bluff, aud is widely known as the great plaster cave, being about five acres in ex- tent and covered with from 20 to 75 feet of earth and rock. The stratum is about 12 feet in thickness. The Lake Shore & Michigan Southern Railroad (Kalamazoo Division) runs through their mill yard, connecting with other railroads leading into the city.
EMMET MILLS.
These mills are owned by C. H. Taylor. B. F. MeReynolds, P. R. L. Peirce, and L. G. Mason, under the firm name, however, o. Taylor & McReynolds, who own about 40 acres of plaster land, which will work out about 35,000 tons per acre. They bought the property three years ago, and have mined for the past three years an average of 10,000 tons per year. Their works were trebled in extent during the year 1870, and can manufacture 200 tons of ground plaster in 22 hours, and 20,000 barrels of stucco per year. Their location is on Grand River, near the city limits, and on the line of the Lake Shore & Michigan Southern Railroad (Kalamazoo Division), and they quarry under the hill the same as the Eagle Mills. The product of this mill for 1870 will be about 10,000 tons.
The companies above named, together with Geo. II. White & Co., mentioned in the history of Wyoming, are all that are engaged in plaster mining in Graud

Rapids and vicinity, and the aggregate capital now engaged in this business is about $400,000. The total of the production of plaster in and near Grand Rapids, up to the close of 1869, was about 277.000 tons, and the aggregate value thereof has been $1,248,000. The total of the production of 1869 was about 50,000 tons. Plaster has been found at Grandville, seven miles below Grand Rapids, on Grand River, and also at points two and three miles above Grand Rapids, and it is prob- able that many good quarries may be opened in the future, should the demands of the trade require it. The beds now worked are practically inexhaustible.
(. C. COMSTOCK'S MANUFACTORIES.
Mr. C. C. Comstock is one of the leading manufacturers in Grand Rapids. He has two saw mills, a pail and tub factory, planing mill, and sash, blind and door factory. His principal manufactories are situated on the east side of Canal street, between Mason and Newberry streets, occupying, with the yard for piling staves and lumber, drying houses, etc., sixteen lots, 50x100 feet each. The principal building is of brick, and 220 feet in length, averaging 45 feet in width, three stories high, is covered with a durable tin roof, and is divided by fire walls and iron doors into six apartments. In the other buildings and the old pail factory, 45x100 feet, and two stories high, a full set of pail machinery is running. In another building, 22x70 feet, ten saws are run, cutting pail and tub staves and bottoms. On the grounds are nine dry kilns, either built or lined with brick, the largest quite expensive, and fire proof, beside a number of large buildings for drying, storage, etc. The number of men in his employ is about 50, and it re- quires an outlay of nearly or quite $150,000 per year to carry on his business.
NELSON, MATTER & CO.
It would be hard to find in this part of the West a more complete establishment for the manufacture and sale of furniture, than that of the above named firm, in this city. Their manufactory at the foot of Lyon street is 68x90 feet in size, four stories high, and full of the most improved machinery for turning, sawing and carving the numerous styles of furniture which they manufacture. Their store- houses on Huron street are 54x68 feet in size, and four stories high, and their ele- gant sales rooms, 29 and 31 Canal street, are 54x80 feet, and occupy three floors. They employ, constantly, about 90 workmen, and ship their manufactures to all parts of Michigan, to Illinois, to Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri, Nebraska, Kansas, Ohio, and Pennsylvania.
GRAND RAPIDS MANUFACTURING COMPANY.
The above named company have their works on Water street, west side, and their office in Ball's new block, Canal street, and are extensively engaged in the manufacture of agricultural implements and machinery. They make, among other things, large numbers of Sulky Rakes, and of the Buckey Saw Machine ; employ- ing from 30 to 40 men. The sales rooms of the company, in Ball's block, are 22x 100 feet in size, and occupy four floors of that elegant building. The business was first established by the late J. F. Chubb, in 1850, and went into the hands of the present company about a year ago. Mr. A. L. Chubb has been connected with the works ever since they were started, and is now President of the company.

EMPIRE ORGAN COMPANY.
The Empire Organ Company is one of the manufacturing institutions which reflects credit on the city. It was first established in Kalamazoo, in 1867, and 12- moved here last April. The excellence of the musical instruments which they send out, achieves for the makers success, esteem and patronage, which other manufacturers have not been able to acquire in years. Mr. Piggott has had a long experience in this branch of manufactures, and there is not a more thorough mas- ter of the art of making reed instruments than he. Their instruments have taken the first premium in competition with the Smith's American, Mason & Hamlin, and Estey organs. Their factory and music store is located at 65 Monroe street, and occupies three floors, employing several first-class workmen. The firm con- sists of George Piggott and A. F. Burch. Mr. E. A. Baird is traveling agent.
WM. HARRISON.
One of the largest manufacturing establishments in the city is the lumber wagon manufactory of Wm. Harrison, occupying two buildings, one on Front street, west side of the river, and the other on Mill street, east side. Mr. H. com- menced the manufacture of wagons in the building situated on the west side of the river, fourteen years ago. His business becoming very extensive he finally found it necessary to occupy a second building, devoting the one on this side of the river to machinery work, and the other to hand work. The latter building is a large, stone structure, 40x80 feet in size, three stories high. The former is 50x70 feet in size, and is two stories high.
Mr. Harrison has about 35 men constantly in his employ, and has turned out during the past year 700 wagons. Hc is doing a large wholesale business through- out this State, and sends some of his wagons as far as Texas. They are sold, in large numbers, in the States of Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska, Minnesota, and Iowa. He does not confine himself to the wholesale trade, however, but does a large re- tail business. Everybody has heard of "Harrison's wagons," and very many in this vicinity, and elsewhere, can testify to their strength and durability.
BUTTERWORTHI & LOWE'S FOUNDRY AND MACHINE SHOP.
Located near the foot of the east side canal, in the very heart of the city, are the Foundry and Machine Shops of Butterworth & Lowe. Long years ago a por- tion of the site on which they stand was occupied by Uncle Louis Campau's In- dian trading post. These works were first started by James McCray. since de- ceased, in 1843. In 1844, Mr. Daniel Ball became a partner. In 1851, Mr. McCray died, and the business was carried on by Mr. Ball, in company with G. M. and S. B. McCray-sons of the first proprietor. Mr. Ball finally bought out their interests, and, in 1856, admitted Mr. R. E. Butterworth as a partner. Mr. Butterworth, two years later, bought out Mr. Ball, and was sole proprietor until 1869, when he admitted his present partner, Mr. James Lowe, recently from near Manchester, England. Mr. G. M. McCray is now principal foreman. These works are among the oldest and largest in western Michigan, and occupy, with foundry, machine shops, blacksmith shops, agricultural shop, pattern shop, storehouses, etc., over half an acre of ground ; giving employment to from fifty to sixty hands.
BERKEY BROS. & GAY.
Berkey Bros. & Gay have one of the most extensive furniture mannfactories in
136
HISTORY AND DIRECTORY OF KENT COUNTY.
the Western States. Their factory is situated on the east side canal, near Bridge street, and is 50x140 feet in size, with four floors. On the corner of Kent and Hastings streets they have two warchouses for shipping and storage purposes, each 35x100 feet in size, and three stories high. Their retail rooms are situated at No. 43 Monroe street, occupying three floors, each 25x90 feet in size, in one block, and two of about the same dimensions in an adjoining building. They are now making, and keep on hand, some of the finest upholstery work, lamberkins and cornices, manufactured in the country. During the past year they have shipped about $150,000 worth of furniture of their own manufacture, and their trade extends not only over our own state, but into New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio. Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin, Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska, Kansas, Missouri, and Colorado. They employ as many as 120 men in and about their establish- ment, and keep on hand some 1,500,000 feet of walnut and other valuable lumber.
EMPIRE GANG SAW MILLS.
Among the most important manufacturing establishments in Grand Rapids are the extensive steam saw mills of Wonderly & Co., situated on the west side of Grand River, between Leonard street Bridge and the track of the Detroit & Mil- waukee Railroad. This enterprising firm, thoroughly acquainted with the lum- ber business in Pennsylvania, commenced operations here in the latter part of October, 1869. Since that time they have erected one of the most extensive saw mills in the State, capable of cutting 15,000,000 feet per season, and manufactured, up to November 1st, 1870, over 8,000,000 fect of lumber. Their main building is 50x116 feet in size, two stories high, and has engine and boiler rooms attached. The machinery is run by two engines of 150 horse power. A gang of saws, in which twenty-eight saws can be run when necessary, converts the largest log into boards in a few minutes, it being first trimmed on two sides by a five foot circular saw. The lumber is distributed in the yard by means of some 4,500 feet of horse- railway, elevated about ten feet from the ground. A railroad track extends to the yard, which, with about 1,000 feet of track between the different lumber piles, gives easy access to all railroads extending from the city. Their logs are procured on Rouge River, Flat River, Fish Creck, and their tributaries, where they have a supply of pine timber that will last for many years. Their booms hold about 2,000,000 feet of logs at one time. They ship immense quantities of lumber to southern Michigan, Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky, and some to Pennsyl- vania, competing successfully with Chicago dealers. In connection with the saw mill is a large planing mill,. containing two heavy flooring and matching machines, a surfacing machine, patent siding mill, circular re-sawing machine, etc. J. H. Wonderly and D. E. Little, both young nien, compose the firm.
THE MICHIGAN BARREL COMPANY
have recently erected an immense factory near the depot of the Detroit & Mil- waukee Railroad, in which they have one of the largest steam engines in Western Michigan. They manufacture the " Water's improved barrel," bail, salt and grease boxes, and all kinds of rim work, employing a large number of men and boys, and shipping their manufactures to nearly all parts of the union. The building which they ocenpy is vast in its proportions, and admirably arranged throughout.
