HISTORY OF CALHOUN COUNTY
bridges, which were originally built of wood, and rebuilt about once in fifteen years, until recently first class modern and permanent ones, five of steel and one of cement, have been successively erected, all built by the Illinois Bridge Co.
An interesting feature of the township is the Flowing Wells on sec- tion 33, developed for a water supply, and forty-three acres purchased, by the city of Battle Creek, but not yet connected with its water system.
They are five in number, two of six inches diameter, three of eight inches, varying in depth from 95 to 150 feet, mainly in the Marshall Sandstone, the drill striking numerous pockets or openings in its down- ward course.
The wells were tested in 1905 by five large traction engines driving centrifugal pumps, and yielded eight million gallons per day for ten days, without being pumped to their fullest capacity. The largest amount of water used by the city for all purposes in any one day has only reached about four million gallons, hence the wells already sunk seem to be amply sufficient for the entire city supply for years to come.
In quality the water has less than the average hardness, is very cool and clear, unrivalled for culinary and drinking purposes. It is ex- tensively used for a drinking water in preference to the city supply from Goguac Lake, although available only as bought from water wagons run by private enterprise, or taken away by the parties using it, in bottles and jugs.
The first experimental well was sunk in 1904, and the property bought by the city in 1906.
The writer gratefully acknowledges generous and kindly aid in the preparation of this brief history, from numerous friends interested in recording and preserving the honorable story of this sample section of our great state-Michigan.
SHERIDAN TOWNSHIP.
Sheridan is in the eastern tier of townships in Calhoun county and lies next north of Albion. A considerable portion of Albion City, in- deed all lying north of the centre of Michigan avenue, was originally a part of Sheridan township and the history and development of the latter is closely related to that of the former.
Sheridan, as designated on the maps of the old United States survey, is Town 2 South, Range 4 West. The surface is generally undulating and in some parts hilly. The soil is a gravelly loam. Wheat, corn, beans and potatoes are staple products. Much attention has been given to the raising of fine quality of stock. The Kalamazoo river enters the township at the City of Albion and flowing in a northwesterly direc- tion leaves it at the northwest corner of Section 31. Rice creek traverses the township from east to west through the central portion, passing out of the township in the northwest part of Section 30, and a little later unites with the Kalamazoo at Marshall. Winnipeg Lake, in the western; Montcalm, in the southwest, and Hall's Lake, in the central, are beautiful sheets of water which, under favorable conditions, still

reward the patient fisherman. The township was organized in April, 1836. A meeting for that purpose was held at the home of Reuben Abbott on the farm now owned by Reuben J. Emery. Abbott's place was located on Section 20 on the Territorial road leading from Detroit through Ann Arbor, Jackson, Marshall and on to the west. Abbott kept a tavern which for years was one of the landmarks to the westbound traveler. He also kept the postoffice known in the primitive days, before Albion had an existence, as Waterburg, to which as late as 1838 the Albion people came for their mail. It was at Abbott's that the pioneer citizens of the township came to hold their first town meeting on the day and date last above named. At that meeting Orris Clapp was ealled to the chair and William M. Pearl and Daniel Rossiter chosen elerks. There being no ballot box, the hat was passed

and each man entitled to vote cast his ballot, which the clerks counted, reporting their findings to the chairman, who immediately announced the result. In this way Chandler M. Church was elected supervisor ; Howell Bidwell, town clerk; Orris ('lapp, William C. White and Renben Abbott, assessors; William M. Pearl, Daniel Rossiter, Martin Tichnor and Howell Bidwell, justices of the peace; J. W. Ilieks, collector; William C. White and Chandler M. Church, overseers of the poor; Phineas Spaulding, M. J. Lathrop and Daniel Rossiter, commissioners of highways; W. C. White, J. P. Conrad, commissioners of schools; J. W. Hicks, Phineas Spaulding and Cyrus Dutton, constables; Renben Abbott and William C. Harding, fence reviewers.
Of the above named pioneers, we find that Reuben Abbott was the first to locate in the township, coming from Erie, New York, with his family, in the month of September, 1831. IIe entered land on sections 29 and 30 and built a log house of the very generous dimensions of sixteen by twenty-two feet. Soon after completing this, the structure

.
was enlarged and the house opened to the public. In the same year came Orris Clapp and settled on section 31. In 1833, Chandler Church came and made a permanent location on section 33. The same year M. J. Lathrop settled on what is now the well known Billinghurst prop- erty. In 1835, Martin Tiehnor entered two hundred acres on sections 26 and 35. In the same year Joel Doolittle, Phineas Spaulding and John P. Conrad were enrolled among the permanent settlers. The year 1836 witnessed an unusual influx of home seekers, among them Mark Crane and Caleb Lewis, who founded some of the well known families of the later years both of Sheridan and Albion.
The Michigan Central Railroad enters the township at Albion and passes westward through almost the entire southern portion. The Lansing branch of the Lake Shore and Michigan Southern enters at Albion and passes through the southeast corner of Sheridan township. The Michigan United Electric Railway system parallels the M. C. R. R. through the town. By these three lines, excellent shipping facilities are afforded as well as ways of travel that make all points easily ac- cessible to the people.
The people of Sheridan have pursued a steady, even course. There are no very rich and no very poor in the township. With rare excep- tions all are comfortably circumstaneed. Only $6.50 was drawn by the township from the poor fund of the county during the entire year of 1911.
There are no cities, no villages, no high school and no church in the township, but the advantages which these afford are easily obtain- able at Albion. The average of her people do not suffer by comparison with those of other townships in the county.
TEKONSHA TOWNSHIP
The township of Tekonsha, located in the southeastern part of Cal- houn county on the Air Line of the Michigan Central Railway, was organized in 1836 and constitutes one of the most prosperous divisions of the county. It is well watered by the historic St. Joseph river and numerous small lakes which add beauty to the landscape as well as fur- nishing excellent sport for anglers. . It is a fine grain and stock raising country, and is noted for excellence in these branches of agriculture. The railroad was completed in 1870 with the assistance of a $15,000 bonus voted by the township.
The pretty village of Tekonsha is located on the old Jackson and White Pigeon territorial road and on the site of a Pottawattomie Indian village, of which some relies are still preserved, and from whose chief, Tekonquasha, the town takes its name.
The first location of land in the township was made by Darius Pierce, May 29, 1832, and included the site of the village, but the first actual settler was Timothy Kimball, who built a log house near the site of the present saw mill in 1833. The original plat of the village was laid in 1836, but it was not incorporated until 1878. The survey included 528 lots on the north side of the river with Jackson avenue as the main street. The first hotel was built of tamarac logs in 1835, and in 1837 the present
213
HISTORY OF CALHOUN COUNTY
Blake Honse was finished and designated "Tekonsha House." The proprietor was Samuel Hemenway, who was also the town's first mer- chant. The mill race was completed in 1837 and the saw mill built. In 1837 the postoffice was established and a mail route laid out from Coldwater to Marshall. The first blacksmith shop was started by Cor- nelius Osborn, who later removed to California.
A school house was built on the northeast part of the village plat in 1837 of planks sawed at the mill. Another school building was built later, and in 1873 the present fine building was erected at a cost of $12,000. In 1910 a wing was built on the south side of the building at a cost of $2,800 to accommodate the growing school, and sueh is its thriv- ing condition that another addition will soon be necessary to keep pace with the increasing attendance.
The flour mill, now owned by the A. H. Randall Mill Co., was erected by Dr. Campbell Waldo, about 1850. The same gentleman started varions industries here, including a select school taught by his son, C. G. Waldo.
A private bank was organized in 1877 by Allen & Johnson, which in 1892 was made a state bank with a capitalization of $30,000. It is one of the most reliable banking institutions in the state. The first newspaper was issued December 7, 1878, by James Gribbens and was known as the Tekonsha News. Later proprietors of the paper were A. G. Randall and T. F. Robinson, J. A. Harsh and B. F. and Lillian C. McMillen.
Horaee Merriman was the first supervisor of the township and Octavius C. Lyon was the first president of the village.
A Methodist mission was established as early as 1832, which was a part of the Coldwater and later of the Burlington mission eireuit. The name of the charge was changed to Tekonsha in 1864. The foundation of the church was laid in 1867 and it was completed in 1869. Rev. James W. Reid was the first pastor after the dedieation of the build- ing. The Tekonsha charge at present embraces also the parish at Lyon lake, which also owns a fine church building.
The Baptist ehureh was organized July 19, 1838, with forty-one members. The first clerk of the church was A. N. Bradley. The frame church, which is now the substantial home of the society, was dedicated May 25, 1870.
The Presbyterian church was organized Mareh 24, 1847, by Rev. Lewis Mills, a delegate from the presbytery at Marshall. He became the pastor, dividing his time between Tekonsha and Clarendon. The first church was a frame structure built in 1853 and was later sueceeded by a handsome brick edifice.
The principal industries of the town today are the A. H. Randall & Son Flouring and Saw Mills, the poultry paeking plant of H. N. Randall and the various grain and stock buying firms, which make Tekonsha one of the best markets in all these lines in southern Michigan and the best shipping point, considering its size, on the Air Line division.
The streets are well lined with concrete walk, heavily shaded by stately maples and well lighted.

The town has every reason to be proud of its record in the great eivil conflict of 1861-65. After reading the names of Tekonsha citizens, who helped Michigan to furnish her quota of soldiers for the preser- vation of the Union, one cannot but realize, that the hamlet and country- side was all but stripped of its male population to aid the Federal authorities prosecute the war. Recruits were sent to every branch of the service, who served in great battles and historie campaigns with courage and fortitude, and with credit to themselves and to their commands. Among the commissioned officers were Captain Charles Carrick of the 1st Michigan Infantry, First Lient., George Granger, and Second Lieut. Josiah Hammond of the 28th Michigan Infantry. The first named was promoted from the ranks for conspicuous gallantry on the field of battle.
MAIN STREET, NORTH, TEKONSHA
Perhaps the town's principal figure in the great rebellion was Brig. Gen. William H. Hammond, who held his commission as a general offieer from the state government. As a member of the state "military contraet board" he was one of those instrumental in organizing the first troops sent from Michigan to take part in the disastrous battle of Bull Run, and was highly complimented by his superiors for his zeal and ability in helping to organize and equip the Michigan regiments all through the war. Ile was quartermaster-general of the state by appointment of Governor Blair, from 1863 to 1865, and was the first man to hold that position. He seems, however, to have been little known in the village, his home having been in the northwestern part of the township. There remain with us about twenty veterans of the Civil war, nearly all of whom are members of Worth Post, G. A. R.
Tekonsha has contributed her portion to the eivil as well as to the military history of the state. Dr. Campbell Waldo, one of the most prominent of the early settlers, and a physician of repute, was elected
215
HISTORY OF CALHOUN COUNTY
to the state senate in 1848. He had previously been an assemblyman in the state of New York. George H. French, who was also an early settler, but who removed from Tekonsha in 1848, was elected to the state senate in 1860, and introdneed as a war measure the first resolution asking for the abolition of the slaves. It passed both houses. In 1863 he introduced a resolution, unanimously adopted, to provide for perpetuating the memory of Michigan's fallen soldiers in an imperishable ."Roll of Honor." Harvey Randall was also a member of the lower honse, taking his seat in 1867. These honors again came to Tekonsha in 1885, when Alva D. Eldred was elected representative, and later, in 1899, when Edward P. Keep assumed the office.
The first banking institution Tekonsha ever had was organized as a private bank by S. B. Allen and John Johnson in 1877 and continued as a private bank till 1902. On April 1, 1902, it was reorganized under the banking laws of the state as the "First State Bank" of Tekonsha, with the following board of directors : S. B. Allen, John Johnson, F. E. Allen, H. W. Cushman, A. D. Eldred and E. P. Keep; S. B. Allen, presi- dent ; John Johnson, vice president; F. E. Allen, cashier; H. W. Cush- man, assistant cashier. During the year 1903 the bank lost two directors by death, S. B. Allen and A. D. Eldred. In 1904 the following were elected directors: John Johnson, F. E. Allen, II. W. Cushman, R. E. Waldo, B. G. Doolittle and E. P. Keep. John Johnson was elected presi- dent ; E. P. Keep, vice president ; F. E. Allen, cashier; H. W. Cushman, assistant cashier. During that year Mr. Johnson moved to California and in 1905, F. E. Allen was elected president; E. P. Keep, vice presi- dent ; H. W. Cushman, cashier. These officers held the offices for two years, when Mr. Allen and Mr. Cushman moved away. It 1907, the following were elected directors: B. G. Doolittle, R. E. Waldo, H. N. Randall, E. W. Randall, Edwin Dean, J. H. Proctor and E. P. Keep, who elected E. P. Keep, president; R. E. Waldo, vice president ; B. G. Doolittle, cashier ; T. D. Rice, assistant cashier; and these officers have held their positions ever since.
The bank was capitalized at $30,000.00, surplus $4,500.00. It does a general commercial and savings bank business, its deposits range around $150,000.00, and is in a very prosperous condition.
The Tekonsha News, an independent weekly, was established in 1878 by James Gribbens, and the first paper was issued- of that year. Mr. Gribbens soon disposed of the paper to C. W. Higgins and went to Chicago, where he operated a job printing plant, but later entered the postal service, in which he has served for more than twenty years. Mr. Higgins disposed of the plant about 1881 to Arthur G. Randall (later county commissioner of schools), and Thomas F. Robinson, who is now publisher of the Union City Register, weekly. The plant was operated by them until 1885, when they removed to Union city, where they published four newspapers, namely the I'nion City Local, Tekonsha News, Burlington Echo and Sherwood Press. A printer wast then kept at both Tekonsha and Sherwood, to gather news and set the type, which was then locked in a wooden case and carried to Union city every press day. Early in the nineties these publications were leased to Justin A. Harsh, but a destructive fire soon occurred, which seriously erippled the
216
HISTORY OF CALHOUN COUNTY
plant. Finding it impractical to continue all of the publications, Mr. Harsh moved the plant back to Tekonsha, and thereafter published only the News and the Burlington Echo. In 1897 he was appointed post- master, which position he held for twelve years before removing to his present home in Deary, Idaho. Mr. Randall resumed control of the paper on Mr. Harsh's appointment to the postmastership, later leasing it to his son, Fred. A. Randall, now of Detroit, who was associated for a time with Claude Phelps, later of Three Rivers, in its management. In May, 1905, Mr. Harsh bought the paper of the heirs of A. G. Randall, and for nearly two years it was operated under lease by Ben F. McMillen, one of the present proprietors. In April, 1907, it pased into the hands of B. F. and Lillian C. McMillen, who have since published it. Mr. McMillen was also appointed postmaster, January 15, 1909. The paper has a circulation of 700, and enjoys an excellent job and advertising patronage, which seems to become better with each succeeding year. Circulating, as it does, in an unusually thrifty aud populous farming community, it is recognized as a power and influence in its own par- ticular field.
