After the completion of the pier a steam saw-mill was erected, with an upright saw, an engine of 20 horse-power, and capacity of cutting 6000 feet per day. From 50 to 100 men were employed, mostly in the woods. Afterwards what is known as Greenbush Pier was built, and still later Pike Pier. From this latter a horse-railroad was built on section 17, extending east to the southeast quarter of sec- tion 14. The firm continued to purchase land until they had bought 2500 acres, varying in price from $4 to $6 per acre. A post-office was established at Wilkinson in 1858. Abner Clark, William Fisher, and J. W. Wilkinson were the postmasters. After Chickaming was made a post-office, with Edward Glavin as postmaster, the Wilkinson office was discontinued. Upon the completion of the Chicago and Michigan Lake Shore Railroad, three post-offices were established, viz. : Sawyer post-office, in the north part of the township, at Troy Station, James Spaulding, postmas- ter ; Lakeside post-office, at Wilkinson Station, John S. Gibson, postmaster ; and a post-office at Union Pier, in the south part of the township, with William T. Green, post- master.

About 1853, Silas Sawyer, of Ohio, came to the town- ship, purchased the place of Richmond Hofton, in section 1

and the northeast quarter of section 10, built a steam saw- mill, and by his persistent energy won a competence; but the extension of his business during the depression of the times following 1857 was the means of heavy loss. In 1873 he moved to Dallas, Tex., where he still resides. He was the first supervisor of the township after its organiza- tion. Bartlett J. Rogers, a native of Rochester, N. Y. (who had advanced money to the firm who built at the lake, on section 3), came here about the same time with Mr. Sawyer, and settled on the northwest quarter of section 11. He moved the mill from the lake to his farm, enlarged it, and was extensively engaged in lumbering. He remained here until about 1863-64, when he returned to New York.

G. A. Orris settled on the northeast quarter of section 2. He now lives in Weesaw, near Hill's Corners. John Vicker- man settled, about 1854, on the west half of section 10, where he still lives. S. F. Broadbeck and - Hilliard settled on the southwest quarter of section 2. The widow of Hilliard, now Mrs. Ashley, still lives on the place.

In 1854, Jerome W. Burnett purchased on the north- west quarter of section 14, where he still lives. In 1858 he sold a part to James A. Cook, who, in 1872, sold out and moved to Nebraska.

The western part of the township that is accessible to the lake was largely and heavily timbered, and its early settlement was largely due to this fact. For many years the eastern part of the township was a wilderness, except the location made by Luman Northrup, on section 23. In 1860, Albert L. Drew, a native of Cass County, came into Chickaming, and bought 480 acres-the north half of sec- tion 26 and the northwest quarter of 25-Aug. 18, 1860. He built a log cabin immediately, and moved in with his family on October 23d of that year. His brother-in-law, Charles C. Sherrill, also a native of Cass County, bought one-half of Mr. Drew's land, in the winter of 1860-61, built a frame house, and moved his family there in the spring of 1861, at which time his house was half a mile from any road. They are both living on the places they then located. Mr. Drew is an active man in the township, and has filled the office of supervisor from 1873 to 1879. Mr. Sherrill is an active member of the Baptist Church, and a thrifty, energetic farmer. He was township treasurer from 1870 to 1877. John Martin settled, in 1860, on the southwest quarter of section 26. He was killed, in 1862, by an accident.

Samuel Donovan, about 1862, settled on the southwest quarter of section 23; Horace Warren on the southeast quarter, and Andrew Carpenter on the southwest quarter of section 26. In the spring of 1861, Luman Northrop moved to Weesaw, giving as a reason that neighbors were getting too thick.

David Adamson, an Irishman, came in 1861 with Mr. Sherrill, and located in the southeast quarter of section 26. He enlisted in the army, and soon after his house was de- stroyed by fire, and one of his children perished in it. About 1865, John Baker, John Findle, C. Hess, and George K. Barnhart, with their families, came in, and pur- chased the southeast quarter of section 25. About 1869 they, with other German families in Weesaw and Three

Oaks, built an Evangelical church on the southeast quarter of section 25. At nearly the same time, Samuel Priest set- tled on northeast quarter of section 25.

In 1862, Clement H. Goodwin, of Aurora, Ill., came from Galien, where he had been in business, and with his nephew, Richard M., hired the Wilkinson mill, which they ran for about a year, and purchased land on fractional sec- tion 25, where a saw-mill and a brick store were erected, and a pier built into the lake. They engaged largely in cutting and shipping cord-wood and in the manufacture of lumber and ties. A horse-railroad was built east to the west line of section 27. They had purchased large tracts of land on the north half of section 28, and had control of the land over which the road passed. Mr. C. H. Goodwin died about 1871. He was a prompt and active business man, possessed of great energy and tact. Richard M. Goodwin is to-day one of the foremost men of the township and one of its most active business men. He carries on a handle-factory, at Union Pier, in addition to his other busi- ness. John Frank and William Gowdy were settlers at Union Pier. John M. Glavin and Edward Glavin located a little north. John M. Glavin was in the Legislature of the State in 1867.

O. R. Brown settled about 1861 on section 2, where he erected a steam saw-mill and carried on a large business for several years, and where he still lives. A horse-railroad was built from the Sawyer Settlement to the Fuller Pier, in the edge of Lake township.

LUMBERING INTERESTS.

This township produced a finer quality and larger quantity of oak and whitewood timber than any township of its size in the county. The first operations of importance were those of the Michigan Central Railroad. In 1847 they built a steam saw-mill on section 30, where there was a large body of fine oak timber. Upon the completion of their pier at New Buffalo, the mill was removed to that place. Andrews & Miller built a steam saw-mill on section 3 about 1851, and continued it till about 1860. In 1853- 54, Silas Sawyer bought on section 10, and built a steam saw-mill. The lumber was so heavy that for the first year of work his operations were confined to ten acres. About the same time J. N. Wilkinson & Co. bought a timber tract on sections 19 and 20. This was afterwards increased largely. The Wilkinson Company built the Wilkinson, Greenbush, and Pike Piers. A horse-railroad was built, and a large business was carried on in lumber, cord-wood, and railroad-ties.

About 1855 two men from New York built a steam saw- mill on section 11, and constructed a horse-railroad from there to the lake at the Fuller Pier. This afterwards passed to Bartlett R. Rogers, who continued it for some years. O. R. Brown, about 1861, purchased the Andrews Mill, which was carried on about a year. Darius W. King, of Niles, about 1863, purchased the Greenbush Pier and used it for delivering cord-wood, of which large quantities were cut and shipped to Chicago. Upon his death, in 1865, the property was rented to J. M. K. Hilton, and was continued till 1868, when it was sold to Paul Cross. The Pike Pier was sold to J. M. K. Hilton, who was soon

associated with Horace R. Pike. It was carried on as a wood-yard for several years, passing into the possession of Mr. Pike.

About 1862 or 1863, A. L. & H. L. Drew built a steam saw-mill on section 26, which was continued about eight years. L. F. Wilcox also built a steam-mill, on section 15, which ran for some years. A mill was built at Union Pier, by Goodwin & Gowdy, about 1863. It is now in possession of Wm. Gowdy, and is still running.

In 1873 a handle-factory was established near the rail- road by Sanborn & Gowdy, and in 1875 it came into the possession of R. M. Goodwin, by whom it is still run.

The Union Pier Handle-Factory was started first by Sanborn & Gowdy in 1873, and came into possession of R. M. Goodwin in 1875. It is situated on the line of the Chicago and West Michigan Lake Shore Railroad, about three miles from New Buffalo. The engine is 75 horse- power, and Mr. Goodwin has employed about 30 men. Shipments are made to Chicago and South and East.

Union Pier contains also a post-office, saw-mill, and a brick store.

The assessed valuation of the township of Chickaming in 1856 was $88,416, as shown by the assessment-rolls of that year. The roll of 1878 places the valuation of the township at $114,485.

ORGANIZATION OF THE TOWNSHIP.

The townships of Chickaming and Three Oaks were set off from the territory of New Buffalo in 1856 by the Board of Supervisors. The order of the board for the first election of township officers was as follows :

" Notice is hereby given that the first annual meeting for the election of township officers in each of the town- ships of Three Oaks, Chickaming, and New Buffalo, in the county of Berrien, State of Michigan, will be holden on the first Monday in April, A.D. 1856, as follows, to wit : In the township of Chickaming, at the store of J. N. Wil- kinson & Co., and that Richard Peckham, Silas Sawyer, and Alfred Ames are duly authorized to preside at such township-meeting, and to perform all the duties required by statute in such cases made and provided." The election in Chickaming was duly held, in accordance with this order.

The town records cannot be found, and the civil list given below is necessarily imperfect. The names have been gath- ered from assessment-rolls and other documents, as follows:

The township, like many others in the State, is encum- bered by railroad bonds, from which much trouble is grow- ing, and the matter is now in the courts.

SCHOOLS.

While the territory now in Chickaming was in New Buf- falo it was in one school district, but no school was held until 1847, when 9 children were gathered at Mrs. Ames' house . and taught by her. This was soon organized as District No. 1. The township now has 6 school districts, of which No. 3 has a graded school. The number of children, in 1878, in this district, between five and twenty years of age, was 136, and they were allowed 50 cents each of the public money. This district was organized Nov. 13, 1860. A school-house, costing $700, was built the next year. Mrs. A. L. Drew was the first teacher, and the number of pupils was 5.

RELIGIOUS.

The Union Pier Baptist Church was organized at Union Pier, Aug. 7, 1869, with 13 members, as follows: Wm. Fisher and wife, Mrs. J. A. Wilkinson, G. D. Vandy and wife, Hattie Vandy, Fanny Vandy, W. A. Gowdy and wife, E. Gowdy, Mrs. John Gowdy, and two others.

The pastors have been as follows: Revs. Samuel Millis, E. L. Millis, J. G. Bostman, Henry Meachin. The church has at present 42 members.

An Evangelical Lutheran Church was established on section 25, in the southeast quarter of the township, com- posed of the German families in the townships of Chicka- ming, Three Oaks, and Weesaw, in that neighborhood. A church was built in 1869.

BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES.

JOHN C. MORGAN.

Ralph Morgan, the father of John C., was born in the State of New York on the 18th day of March, 1824. On arriving at manhood he acquired the profession of a den- tist. His wife, whose maiden name was Chase, was a native of Massachusetts, being the daughter of a distinguished engineer, who designed the celebrated works for utilizing the water-power at Holyoke, in that State. Ralph Morgan died Dec. 31, 1878.

John C. Morgan was born on the 13th day of February, 1856, in Chicopee, Mass. Eight days afterwards his mother died, leaving the son at that tender age without the loving care which only a mother can give. An aunt, however, living at Southampton, Mass., kindly consented to take charge of the child, and with her he remained until he was twelve years old. At this age he went to his father, who had removed to Greenfield, Mass. In 1867 his father married the second time, and in 1869 removed with his family to Michigan, locating on the farm known as Lake Side farm, in Chickaming township, Berrien Co., on which his son now resides. John C. Morgan, at the age of twenty- one, married Arvilla, daughter of John S. and Ann E. Gibson. His children are Gay Ralph, born April 14,

Mr. Mor- gan is employed in making cider, jellies, and sorghum- sugar; also in raising all kinds of vine-seeds and sugar- corn, which he takes to the New York and Philadelphia markets. He owns a farm situated in the fruit belt of Michigan, called Lake Side farm, also a wheat farm of one hundred and sixty acres, called River Side farm, near the former. In politics he is a Republican, in religion a Lib- eral. Personally, he is an industrious, energetic, upright man, a fine specimen of the active, intelligent Michigan farmer.

ALFRED W. AMES.

The subject of this sketch was born in Westminster, Vt., in the year 1823. His parents died when he was quite young, when Alfred found a home with an uncle,-Ebenezer McIlvain,-an old soldier of the Revolution. From this scarred veteran, on his mountain farm, the lad listened to

tales of battle and adventure until he became imbued with a passionate longing for excitement and change. Naturally, when the uncle passed away, the nephew, then eighteen years old, started for the West, arriving in Charlotte, Ea- ton Co., Mich., in September, 1841. He bought govern- ment land and made some improvements on it, but becoming disheartened by sickness he sold it. In December, 1843, young Ames found himself in New Buffalo, Berrien Co. The next August he purchased a piece of wild land at what was then known as Clay Banks, now a part of Chickaming township.

In October, 1844, he returned to Charlotte and married Mary Fisher, who was also a native of Vermont, and was an old schoolmate. In May, 1845, they removed to their forest home on the shore of Lake Michigan, where Mr. Ames re- sided until his death, which occurred in 1864. During this time Mr. Ames held several offices of trust in the township of New Buffalo, and also in Chickaming after it was set off as a separate township. He died of smallpox. In an obituary notice a neighbor who knew him well, spoke

of him thus: " Mr. Ames was the pioneer of the Clay Banks, having settled here in 1844. He was an affection- ate husband and kind parent, and universally esteemed as a neighbor and citizen."

THE township is a fractional one, containing 18 full sec- tions north of the range line, and the north half of six sec- tions south, and bordering on Indiana. It is bounded on the north by the township of Weesaw, on the east by Ber- trand, on the south by the State of Indiana, and on the west by the township of Three Oaks.

The surface is varied by undulating swells and low-browed forest-clad hills, and is in many places low and marshy. The soil is in part heavy clay and retentive, but the south- ern part is sandy loam. It was formerly covered with dense forests, and was known far and near as the " Galien woods." The timber was mostly beech and maple, interspersed with black walnut, whitewood, and ash.

The water-courses are the streams that form the head- waters of Galien River. Three branches take their rise to the south, west, and middle of the township, and flow in a northerly direction, two of them uniting near the north line of the township, and the third uniting with the others in the south part of Weesaw. The head-waters of another branch rise in the east part of the township and in Bertrand, and join the main stream in Weesaw.

EARLY SETTLEMENT, MILLS, ETC.

The territory along the St. Joseph River was settled several years before the land back from the river was sought after. The land was heavily wooded, and many of its sections were bought for the timber by parties owning mills in other townships, and it was not purchased by actual settlers until part at least of its timber was cut off.

The earliest settlers of whom any information can be gained were Samuel Garwood, James H. Wilson, and John P. Johnson. Samuel Garwood settled on the north- east quarter of section 11 before 1836. He was the first treasurer of the township, at its organization in 1844. He afterwards removed to Iowa.

James H. Wilson was a native of Virginia, and removed with his parents to Ohio when about eight years of age. In 1836 he came to this township, and located and pur- chased the southwest quarter of section 1, where he still re- sides. In 1837 he built the first saw-mill in the township, on the small creek that runs through his farm. The dam has been washed out, leaving the frame of the mill still standing. He married, in 1838, Miss Nancy Kingery, of Buchanan. Eight of his children are now living,-six by the first wife and two by a second wife. Sylvester K., the eldest, lives at Dayton, and is proprietor of the saw-mill at that place ; Elmira married William Wilson, of Modena, Ill. ; Winfield S. lives at Galien ; Winslow C. and Merritt live at home; Semantha married Charles H. Dean, of Detroit ; Clara B. and Nancy L., the youngest, are at home. Mr. Wilson was school inspector in 1846 and 1848, and treas- urer in 1860. Wm. Burns was the first supervisor of the township. He settled there before 1843, on the southwest quarter of section 11, now owned by Stephen Dennison. He was prominent in the history of the town in its early days.

Daniel Bollinger settled about the same time, where Mrs. Annie T. Ranger now lives, on the east half of section 20. He was the first town clerk. Wm. Hardy, about 1846, settled on the north half of section 14. His daughter now lives on the farm.

John P. Johnson came to the township in 1834, and purchased a part of the east half of section 19, and part of the west half of section 20, and where Zachariah Kinne now owns. He afterwards removed to Iowa. He was one of the first justices of the peace in the township, and one of the foremost men.

Obadiah Rittenhouse was a native of Pennsylvania, and settled on section 3, now owned by Solomon Rough, of Bertrand. Peter Critchett, an early settler, married his daughter.

James Edson and his family settled in 1836, on the

northwest quarter of section 13. The first election of the township was held at his house, April 1, 1844.

Alvin Emery bought the northeast quarter of section 22, on the Soper Creek, where he built a mill at an early day. He was supervisor in 1845-47, and school inspector the same years. Moses Emery, a brother, was school inspector in 1854, and justice of the peace in 1853.

Richard Huston settled on the southeast quarter of sec- tion 16, and northeast quarter of section 21. His son, Richard D., lives on the northeast quarter of section 8. Anselm Abshire was an early settler, and one of the first justices of the peace.

John Unrugh, before 1840, settled on that part of the southwest quarter of section 23 which lies in this township, and still lives there. Henry Smith, a native of Ohio, came to this township in 1845, and settled on the south half of section 10. He moved to Oregon about 1849. Perry G. Magness settled near where Zachariah Kinney lives, on sec- tion 19.

There were a few other men of families in Galien prior to 1844, and several hired men and farmers' sons who were voters. By the record of the town clerk there were cast in the township, in 1844, 30 votes ; in 1845, 24 votes ; and in 1846, 33 votes.

The following persons came into the township during the year 1846, and soon after : Peter Critchett, a native of Pennsylvania, settled on the southeast quarter of section 4, after renting a year or two. He lived on this farm until 1878, and is now living in the village. Asher A., Noah, David, and Allison G. Spicer, brothers, emigrated from Ohio about 1847. Asher located on the southeast quarter of section 10 and southwest quarter of section 11; A. G. Spicer, on the northwest quarter of section 7, where Wm. Thompson now lives. Samuel Collins settled on the north- west quarter of section 17. Daniel Conant settled on a farm on the northwest quarter of section 10. He has a son living in Weesaw.

George Partridge, a native of New Hampshire, emigrated, with his wife and family, in 1849, and located on the south- west quarter of section 11. He now lives in Galien village.

William Valentine, from New York, settled in the south- west corner of the township about 1847, and built a mill there. About 1850, Samuel Scleigh emigrated from Penn- sylvania, with his family. and located on the northwest quarter of section 16, where he built a mill, now known as the Penyard Mill. He was town clerk for many years.

In 1859 the grand jurors for this township were David Miller and John P. Johnson. The petit jurors at the same time were Edson and Ashbury Baltimore. Settlements in the township were few prior to 1844. The population in 1845 was 141; in 1854, 404; in 1860, 528; in 1870, 856.

The first steam saw-mill was erected at what is now the village of Galien, about 1851, by Clapp & Cheney. It was afterwards sold to C. H. Goodwin and to John L. Reed, and, in 1853, to George A. Blakeslee.

Mr. Blakeslee is a native of Jefferson Co., N. Y. In 1851 he came through this region of country on a prospect- ing tour, and again in 1853, not intending to remain ; but

238

at that time he purchased the east half of section 3, where the village of Galien now stands. At that time the saw- mill and one log cabin constituted all there was on the property. The mill had an engine of 30 horse-power, and a capacity of cutting 5000 feet of lumber per day. In 1854 he built a store. When the post-office was established he was appointed postmaster, and has remained in that posi- tion to the present time. Mr. Blakeslee has a farm of over 200 acres on his homestead in Galien. He conducts the mercantile business, and buys the grain that comes to that market, and operates the large saw-mill and factory. The village plat was laid out by him in 1861. A large hall over the store is free for all religious services and other exer- cises of a public nature. He also owns a farm of 400 acres in section 28, in Weesaw. He is one of the foremost men in the society of "Latter-Day Saints" of the State and country.
