In 1832, came Catherine Kimmerle, from Butler County, Ohio-a sister of the Hass brothers above mentioned. She brought with her three children --- Mary (Maulsley), now in Iowa ; Henry, a well-known farmer of the township, who has resided at his present place on the Niles road for eighteen years, and Amanda (Van Cleve), who resides in Kansas. The widowed mother of these children located on La Grange Prairie when she first came to the county ; afterward lived in Cassopolis, and died at the home of her brother in Pokagon, in 1845.
Jesse G. Beeson became a settler in 1833, and

examined the country as early as 1830. He located originally on the farm now occupied by Abraham Fiero, building his cabin on Section 9. In 1837, he moved to the place where he still lives, buying out James Cavanaugh. Mr. Beeson is one of the sub- stantial men of the county. He was elected to the State Senate in 1853, and has held various minor offices. His parents were early emigrants from North Carolina to Wayne County, Ind., where he was born in the year 1807. He was accompanied to his new home by his wife, Anna (Renesten), and three chil- dren, and subsequently others were- born. He has eight children now living, viz. : William H., in La Grange; Isaac N., in Three Rivers ; B. F., in Calvin Township ; Mary Jane (Huff), in Lincoln, Neb. ; Lurana (Dixon), in Wisconsin ; Eliza Ann (Dufoe), and Laura E. (Cammeron), in Iowa, and Anderson G., in Lincoln, Neb.
Erastus H. Spalding was another prominent arrival of the year 1833. He came from Scipio, N. Y., where he was born in 1801. He was largely inter- ested in affairs of value to the township and surround- ing county, especially milling. He built no less than three mills in La Grange, which are elsewhere spoken of. Mr. Spalding died in 1869. His first wife was Aurelia Alvord, of New York State. After her death he married (in 1836). Mary Aurelia Barker, of Cass- opolis, by whom he had three children, Lyman Barker, Erastus H. and Frederick E. Erastus H. died November 19, 1877.
In the same year as the above came Correl Messen- gers arriving in April. In the following year, he bought land in Section 33, where he has since lived. In addition to clearing up his own farm, he performed large service with the " breaking plow " for other early settlers. He was born in Litchfield County, Conn., in 1809, and removed with his parents three years later to Marietta, Ohio, and from thence, about 1831, to Marion County, in the same State. He married Lorena Young. They have had nine chil- dren all except one of whom, the eldest, Antha, are living. Following are their names and residences. Orrin, in Calvin ; Evart, in Iowa; Lemuel, in Ohio; Sarah (Zane), in Calvin ; Elizabeth (Collins), in Cass- opolis; George, in Iowa; K. E., at home; and Henry, in Cassopolis.
In 1834, Shepherd Wheeler and wife, from New York State, located where William Shurte now lives, and in the following year Lemucl Sifert, of Ohio, came into the township. He removed soon afterward to Indiana and died there about 1840.
William G. Wiley arrived in 1835. He was origi- nally from New York City ; emigrated from there to New Jersey, from there to Ohio, and from thence to
Michigan. He followed coopering. Afterward bought a farm in Wayne Township, and in 1854 returned to La Grange Township. He married, in Cassopolis, Harriet Sifert, and died in 1865 at the age of fifty-six years, leaving four children, viz. : Robert H., of La Grange Township, who for a number of years past has been Supervisor ; Mary E. (Malloy), in Edwards- burg; Emily (Mrs. William H. Hain), of this town- ship, and John, who resides in Volinia. John B. Wiley, grandfather of William, and his wife Hannah M. (Fryer), came to Cassopolis about 1838, and it is probable that Mr. Wiley was the first cooper in the village.
Settlement was also made this year by Isaac Seares with his wife and eleven children. Mr. Seares died three years later, in the fall of 1839, being at the time of his decease, County Treasurer. He was born in Connecticut in 1795; moved with his parents to Cayuga County, N. Y., while quite young, and from thence, in 1809, to Erie County, in Pennsylvania. He served in the war of 1812, under Commodore + Perry. His wife Polly (Custard) long survived him, dying in 1870. The children are William, a much respected farmer of this township ; Abram, deceased : Andrew, in Texas; John, a resident of the township ; Phebe and Sarah, deceased ; Susan (Walker), in Illi- nois ; Charity (Byers and Philena Baugham), in Iowa ; Richard, deceased, and Mary (Swartout) in Cassopolis.
Zadoc Jarvis came to the township in the spring of 1836, and brought his family in the same year. He rented the property where his son, Norman, now lives, for three years, and then removed to Pokagon Town- ship, where he died in 1852. He was born in Roanoke County, N. C., in 1785, and about 1825, removed to Wayne County, Ind., where he lived until coming to Michigan. His wife was Lucy Owens. The oldest son, Burton, who came to the State a year earlier than his father, now lives in Berrien County ; Sarah (wife of James Moore), resides in Pokagon Township ; Polly (wife of Joseph Sparks) is deceased ; Norman has, after residence in several other localities, been a citizen of La Grange for the past twenty-six years ; Benjamin and Edith are deceased; Zadoc is a resident of the township.
Henry Springstine and his wife, Eleanor (Clark), came in the spring of 1837, from Niagara County, N. Y., and located where Abram Fiero now lives. Mr. Springstine died the following year, aged fifty-eight. His oldest son, John, was married when the family came to the West, his wife being Romelia Colby. A son of this couple, B. M. Springstine, now lives in the township. The other children of Henry Springstine and wife are Matthew, now living in St. Joseph ; Jarah (Cronkhite), deceased ; Eliza and Catherine,

NORMAN JARVIS.
Norman Jarvis, one of the pioneers and prominent farmers of La Grange, was born in Roan County, N. C., April 14, 1821. His father, Zaddock Jarvis, was also a native of North Carolina, and a planter in medium circumstances; he married Lucy Owens, by whom he had seven children, four boys and three girls. In 1819, he emigrated to Indi- ana with his family, where he remained until 1833, when he came to La Grange, and settled on the place now owned by his son; in the fall, he returned to Indiana for his family. Norman was at this time twelve years of age, and his recollections of the trials, hardships, and privations of the early days are still vivid. The elder Jarvis was a fine type of the early settler ; he lived in La Grange until his decease, which occurred in 1851 ; his wife is still living, "hale and hearty," at the advanced age of ninety years. Norman lived under the parental roof until he was eighteen years of age, when he began life as a boatman and farmer, devoting the summer months to the for- mer avocation and working as a farm hand during the winter. In this way he accumulated a sum sufficient for the purchase of eighty acres of land in Pipestone, Berrien County ; after several changes, he bought the farm where he now resides, in 1865, and which he has improved, with the exception of 60 acres. The
farm, a view of which we present on another page, consists of 270 acres of fertile land under a high state of cultivation. In 1842, Mr. Jarvis was mar- ried to Miss Margaret, daughter of Elias Simpson, one of the pioneers of the county, having removed from Ohio in 1830. She was born near Chillicothe, Ohio, February 28, 1824, and was six years of age at the time of the family's emigration to Pokagon, where her father died in 1841, and her mother in 1860. Coming into the country in the early days of its settlement, Mr. Jarvis was denied the advantages of education, which the youth of to-day are in posses- sion of, and his education has been confined to that other school in which the teachers are observation and experience. He is emphatically a self-made man, and the architect of his own fortune. The salient points in his character are industry and honesty, by which means he has attained the position he holds among the representative men of Cass Coun- ty. This biography would be incomplete without some mention of Mrs. Jarvis, who has shared his "joys and sorrows." She has been to him a helpmeet in all that the name implies, and is a woman of many estimable qualities of mind and heart. The two reared a family of ten children-Mary, William, Loramie, Rachael, Franklin, Jennie, Jasper, Ella, Lucy and Mertie, all of whom are living.

residents of the township; Miriam (Compton), de- ceased ; Levi, living in Wayne Township, and Henry, who died in this township in 1850.
Andrew Jackson Mosher located at the village of La Grange in 1840.
The year following, Erastus Palmer and his wife, Abigail (Hungerford), came into the northwest part of the township from Wayne. They were originally from Livingston County, N. Y., and Mr. Palmer was born there in the closing years of the last century. He died at his home in this township in 1850. He was the father of eight children, viz .: William K., now and for many years a resident of Dowagiac ; John W., in Illinois ; Cordelia and Ann Maria, deceased ; George C., a resident of this State; Jane and Benja- min F., now in Iowa, and Elizabeth, deceased.
James Kelsey became a settler upon Section 2 in 1839, emigrating from New York State. He is still living, and a resident of the township. He was born in 1810. A sketch of his son, Dr. William J. Kelsey, of Cassopolis, appears elsewhere in this work.
Gabriel Hathaway, a carpenter from Allegany County, N. Y., settled on the edge of Young's Prairie, in Penn Township, in 1844, and not long afterward removed to this township, and located where his son Orrin now lives, near the Jones Mill. The family consisted of his wife, Mary Masters, and seven chil- dren, and after their arrival in Michigan two others were born. Lydia, Maria (Roundtree), John and Silas are deceased ; Orrin and Josiah are residents of this township; Leonard and Josephi are in Iowa, and Frederick and Charles (deceased). Gabriel Hatha- way died in 1877, at the age of eighty-four years.
Charles Fiero and his wife, Laura Ann (Clark), moved in from Sandusky County, Ohio, in 1847. They have two children, Frances (Hathaway) and Arminda. Mr. Fiero bought land in the township in 1843, but purchased his present place of Peter Brady in 1849.
A brother of the above, Abram Fiero, came to the township in 1853, and settled where he now resides, buying his farm of Frank and Isaac Beeson. Mr. Fiero and wife, Fannie A. (Thorpe), have had six children, and have three sons living, John, Byron and William.
The early settlers of the Hass family have already been mentioned. Their brother Jacob, and his wife, Mary (Karr), made their settlement in 1853, in the southwestern part of the township. Mr. Hass was from New Jersey, and was married in Darke County, Ohio, and moved to Michigan from Randolph County, Ind. He died in 1873, aged seventy. His oldest son, Henry, moved to Missouri, entered the army there, and is now dead. William lives on the old
homestead ; James is in Elkhart, and Catherine (Curtiss) resides in Jefferson Township.
G. S. Wilbur and his wife, Louisa N. (Hause), came from Seneca County, N. Y., to Wayne Town- ship in 1854, and to their present location, on the west line of La Grange, near Dowagiac, in the follow- ing year. Mr. Wilbur has been Superintendent of the Poor in Cass County for ten years-1871 to 1881. He has five children-Fanny C. (Wares), at Barren Lake; Theodore F. and E. Parsons, in Dowagiac ; Nathan P., in Texas, and Lloyd E., at home.
The Van Riper family, of New Jersey, came into the township in 1854 and 1856, purchased about six hundred acres of land, including the water power privi- lege at La Grange Village, and began a large business in milling and manufacturing, which is elsewhere noticed. The first members of the family who arrived were the brothers Charles, Garro and William. The first named was a soldier of Company A, Twelfth Michigan Infantry, and being taken prisoner at Shiloh, spent some months at Southern prisons. He subse- quently moved to Nebraska. William and Garry Van Riper are both still residents of La Grange Vil- lage, and carry on business there, the former being engaged in the manufacture of baskets. In 1856, the parents of the Van Riper brothers, Abram and Catherine (Mickler) Van Riper came out, and with them came another son, John A., who, with his son, J. J. (the Attorney General of the State) now lives at Buchanan. Tunis Van Riper came about the same time as the above, and now lives upon a farm near the village. The parents of the Van Ripers are both deceased. Abram, the father, died in 1873, at the ripe age of eighty-four years.
Among the comparatively recent settlers we may mention Homer Wells and William R. Miller, both representative farmers, who arrived in 1865. The former located on the old Fletcher farm, in Section 10. He came with his parents to Kala:nazoo County from New York in 1840, and about 1860 moved to Wayne Township, Cass County, and from there came to his present place. He has been twice married, the first time to Laura Ann Reed, by whom he had two children-Leslie C., a resident of the townsbip, and Maria, deceased. His present wife is Fannie Bever- stock. She has had five children-Alma Maria, Fred B., Clarence, Daniel (deceased) and Blanchie.
William R. Miller, of Erie County, Penn., bought the farm on which he resides, in Section 34, of Henry Pells. He has been three times married. His present wife is Mary (Baldwin). He had, by a former wife, four childen, one of whom is in Pennsylvania. 1Ielen M. and Lizzie reside at home, and a married daugh- ter, Alice (Decou) lives in Penn Township.

WILLIAM P. BUCKLIN.
WILLIAM P. BUCKLIN.
Among the pioneers whose memory it is well to perpetuate, because of fidelity to his family and other noble traits, is William P. Bucklin, who was born in Pennsylvania December 20, 1816. When two years of age, he removed with his parents to Sandusky County, Ohio, and when fourteen years of age, ac- companied them to Mottville, St. Joseph County, where his father died in the fall of their removal, leav- ing a large family of children dependent upon their own and mother's exertions for a livelihood. With a manliness far beyond his years, he being the eldest son, he labored hard and successfully to maintain the family circle unbroken, devoting the whole of his earnings to this object.
When one takes into consideration the hard labor and small remuneration received at this time, and that he could look forward to nothing but the hardest labor to advance his own interest, and he an ambitious

young man, the noble sacrifices made for his brothers and sisters can be, in a measure, realized, for he never thought of self until his marriage, January 20, 1839, to Mary A. Lilly, daughter of David and Mary Lilly. He then purchased a small farm of forty acres, and commenced life on his own account, and eight years later, moved on the farm of his father-in-law, in La Grange township, where he deceased August 30, 1864, having the esteem and respect of the community in which he resided.
His widow, who retains the old homestead, is a resident of Marcellus, where she resides in luxurious quiet. Of their ten children-Ranson, Margaret, Albert, Estella and Laura L., are deceased. While Norton W .; Thursey A., now Mrs. Boyd ; Cynthia A., now Mrs. J. J. Ritter ; Josephine D., now Mrs. B. R. Beebe, and Florence A., now Mrs. I. M. Smith, all reside in this county.
