JAMES T. BRADY,


MRS. JAMEST. BRADY.


JAMES T. BRADY.


James T. Brady, one of the pioneers and well-known characters of Ontwa Township, was born March 1, 1802, in the parish of Drumlane, county of Cavin and province of Ulster, Ireland. His father, Michael Brady, who was born in 1774, died in 1806, when James was four years old, and his mother, Katharine (Leddy) Brady, who was a little younger than her husband, died in 1832. The subject of our sketch and his sister Rose came to America in the year 1818, landing in Quebec. In Canada, James followed various callings. While working at Quebec, sorting timber for the British Gov- ernment, he was one day seized by a press gang, and, although making a desperate resistance, in which he received several bayonet wounds, was carried away and taken on board of an English war vessel, commanded by a certain Capt. Bours. He was given $40 in money and a suit of marine's clothes, and then told that the vessel was about to start on a seven years' cruise. He resolved to escape or die in the attempt. One evening he managed to elude the guards of the vessel, lowered himself by a rope into the river, and the tide being in his favor, managed to reach the wharf. Resolving to leave so dangerous a locality, he went to Wayne County, N. Y. For a time he and his sister, who also went to Wayne County, worked for the father of Joe Smith, the Mormon Prophet, with whom they became well acquainted. In 1824, young Brady became acquainted with Miss Mary Ann lones, to whom he was married December 3, 1828, by the Rev. William Powell, in the town of Wolcott. In the spring of 1832, he removed to Rochester, N. Y., and in November of the same year to Albion, Orleans County, where he remained until the fall of 1835, when he came to Michigan. After making a stay of a little more than a year at Lodi Plains, about forty miles west of Detroit, he settled in Ontwa, Cass County, in the fall


of 1836, and there resided until 1870, when he removed to Elkhart, Ind. Upon the 3d of December, 1878, Mr. and Mrs. Brady celebrated their golden wedding, all of their living children and many of their old friends being present. Mr. Brady died at his home in Elkhart, December 19, 1881, and his remains were buried at the cemetery in Adamsville. He was a man who was universally respected. In politics he was a life-long Democrat, and voted at fifteen Presidential elections. In religious views he was liberal, and tolerant of the opinions of others.


The family of Mr. and Mrs. Brady consisted of four sons and three daughters, as follows: William J. Brady, born in Wayne County, N. Y., April 28, 1830, died August 1. 1878, in Elko, Nev .: Thomas (. Brady, born August 29, 1832, in Mon- roe County, N. Y., died in Steptor Valley, Nev., December 23, 1873; John M. Brady, born June 14, 1835, in Orleans County, N. Y .. now resident upon the old homestead in Ont- wa, married in 1869 to Miss Dora McNeil; Noah S. Brady, born March 17, 1839, in Ontwa, where he has since resided. married 1866, to Miss Maria E. McNeil ; Marion E. Brady. born September 22, 1843, in Cass County, married in 1866 to Andrew J. Moody, and now resides in Mason; Mary J. Brady, born May 7, 1846, in Cass County, died October 12, 1850 ; Ophelia J. Brady, born May 30, 1852, in C'ass County, married August 5, 1879, to Clarence Knickerbocker, of Elkhart, where she now resides.


Mrs. Mary Ann (Jones) Brady, widow of James T. Brady, still resides at the house in Elkhart, Ind., and retains her faculties in a remarkable degree of perfection. She was born June 13, 1809, in Newtown, Gloucester County, N. J., and emigrated in 1824 with her parents to Wayne County, N. Y .. where she met and married James T. Brady, the subject of this sketch.

HISTORY OF CASS COUNTY, MICHIGAN.


Milton B. Robbins, a native of Massachusetts, removed to Mason Township from Ohio in 1836, but two years later changed his residence to Sturgis, and in 1848 purchased the farm in Section 10 wbere he deceased in December, 1879, and where his son David H. now resides. He served as Township Treasurer for two years, and filled several school dis- trict offices, being among its prominent members.


In June, 1831, Hon. George Redfield, in company with eleven other young men, came to Michigan on a prospecting tour. The trip from Detroit was made on foot, the land-lookers carrying their provisions, camp utensils, clothes and a small tent on their back, camping out wherever night overtook them. At Ypsilanti they separated, Mr. Redfield, Sands McCaw- ley, afterward one of the leading men and a miller at Battle Creek, and Nathan Pierce, an embryo thou- sand-acre farmer of Calhoun County, being among those who took a westerly course and became infatuat- ed with the country, and as the beautiful scene is recalled to the memory of Mr. Redfield, no language would seem extravagant in its praise. The natural picturesqueness of the country, its surface so charm- ingly diversified with prairie, forest land and opening, lake and stream, was sufficient to charm them to the spot. The timber was dense, but, when the openings were reached, everything was changed. The trees were large and grew widely apart, and the sward between them, kept clear of underbrush by the annual fires kindled by the Indian hunters, was smooth and green. The prairie, spread out so temptingly to view, was covered with wild flowers of bright colors and beautiful forms and loaded the air with their fragrance. They fain would not step for fear of crushing them; or the luscious strawberry, half buried in a sweet seclusion of leaf and blossom, blushing and red, invit- ing to an epicurian feast, while the half-matured fruit, delicately tinged with green, white and red, which lay in prodigal profusion, extended an invitation for another day. Before the grass grew high enough to obstruct the view, the eye could glance down the aisles and passages of the forest and note the varied colors of the flowers, the verdant herbage, the flitting birds, the graceful deer, and chattering, frisking squirrel, and the ear could listen to the thousand voices of the woods, while the nostrils drank in the perfume-laden air, and the soul revel in the soft, mysterious delight afforded by so much beauty, sweet concord and harmony. To add to the picturesqueness of the scene, soon after the advent of the white man, dotted here and there over the smiling prairie and opening could be seen the blue smoke curling upward from the rustic house of the settler, whose little improvement presaged so much in the future, while in the near


distance could be seen the busy little mart of Edwards- burg. Such was the situation soon after these lands were thrown open for settlement, and the rapidly swelling tide of emigration was sweeping onward from the East, and it is no matter of surprise that Mr. Redfield decided to make it his home, as will be seen in another place in this history.


Jesse Quimby made his way from Stafford County, N. H., in 1836, and settled in Ontwa, and his son, N. L., then a boy twelve years of age, resides on the old homestead. His father, passing away in 1838, Mrs. Quimby married a Mr. Blackmar. N. L. Quimby followed threshing for twenty-two conse- cutive years, commencing with the old open cylinder machines, which were destitute of straw carriers, and did not separate the chaff from the wheat. He pur- sued the business through all the gradations of machines until the present steam thresher came in vogue, and the first one of which was brought into the township by Moses H. Lee in 1862.


It would seem that $2 per bushel for oats was an extortionate price, but this was what Russel G. May paid in Mottville, St. Joseph County, in 1837, when passing through that place, on his way to Beardsley's Prairie, from Canandaigua County, N. Y. The emigration had been so immense that nearly every thing had been consumed, and arbitrary prices were asked and received for what remained. After a stay of four years on the prairie, he moved to his pres- ent farm, where his wife, Hannah S., died in 1871. Of their four children two are deceased, and only one, R. D. May, who resides on the old homestead, lives in the county. When Nathaniel Hopkins reached Milton Township from Kent County, Del., in 1844, the farm he purchased contained no buildings, except a log house ; but long before his death, in May, 1865, it presented a changed appearance, owing to the im- provements placed upon it. His widow Ann (Brown) now resides in Edwardsburg, with her son William K. On Section 22, but a short remove from the Indiana line, can be found the farm of J. B. Thomas, of 415 acres ; its external appearance indicates the model farmer. They were not among the earliest settlers, as Evan Thomas, father of J. B., emigrated from Pennsylvania in 1843, and, like many of his prede- cessors, lived for a time on Beardsley's Prairie. He deceased in 1862, his wife, Nancy E., passing away many years previous. Although a Democrat, and this a Republican county, Mr. J. B. was elected Sheriff, having a majority of ninety votes, and is to- day one of the reputable farmers of Ontwa. G. T. Howard recalls, with marked distinctness, the prices of labor and provisions when he came in the county in 1845 from Delaware. He chopped wood at 25

cents per cord, and frequently put in one of the old-fashioned farmer's day's work, from sun to sun, for two bushels of corn, which sold in the market at from 18 to 20 cents per bushel, one-half cash and one. half store pay, while a man and team was paid $1 per day, and the wages thought to be ample. But he enjoyed good health, and possessed largely the quali- ties of industry and perseverance, which, coupled with commendable ambition, secured him a competency. George Rogers settled in Section 12 in 1853, and aside from farming, purchased produce and solicited fire insurance. He was honored with several offices, in- cluding Justice of the Peace, and was a prominent inan up to this death, in December, 1879. He was the father of two children, Manning and Charles. His widow, Mrs. E. M. Rogers, resides in Adamsville.


William H. Starr resides on Section 14, on a farm which, with its buildings, is a credit to the township. His wife, Mary F., is a daughter of the pioneer, An- drew Foster.


Among the early settlers was Sterling Adams, who located where Adamsport now is, and which he laid out as a village in March, 1833, with seventy-nine lots, while Christiana, across the creek, was platted by Moses Sage, in May, 1834, with forty-eight village lots and a public square, to which was added fifty lots by George Stevens, in April, 1836, and a second ad- dition by L. Johnson in June of this year. The first grist-mill was erected here in 1835 by Moses Sage, and ran night and day for several years, he paying from 44 to 50 cents per bushel for wheat, flour bring- $2.50 per barrel. In the winter of 1843-44, speecu- lators ran the price of flour up to $6.00 per barrel, and Mr. Sage disposed of 6,000 barrels he had stored at Niles, at this price, which enabled him to extricate himself from financial embarrassment. Adamsport has a population of 133, and contains a hotel, blacksmith- shop, general store and grist-mill.


During the time the "wild-cat banks" were at their height, the farmers of this section called a meeting to devise some means to procure money for their surplus grain, they at the time receiving their pay in this worthless trash, called, out of courtesy, money. They duly organized themselves into a society, and concluded to store their wheat at the mouth of the river, and when a sufficient quantity was accumulated, to send a special agent to New York with it, to dispose of for them, and Hon. George Red- field was selected as their agent, but the grain pur- chasers finally concluded to not only pay a remunera- tive price, but to pay it in gold and silver. This practice once established, banished the worthless paper trash from the market, and inaugurated a new system of doing business, for the farmers received the price of


their grain all in good money, and not a portion in " store pay " and the balance in Michigan money, as had been the custom for some time previous.


EDWARDSBURG.


Edwardsburg was laid out by Alexander H. Ed- wards, and a plat of the same, recorded August 12, 1831, shows that it comprised forty-four lots. It was surveyed by George Crawford. Abiel Silver made an addition of 46 lots June 2, 1834, and a second ad- dition of 112 lots March 24, 1836. As before noticed, Jacob and Abiel Silver purchased the mercantile establishment of Thomas H. Edwards, in the fall of 1831, and the next year erected a frame store on the ground now occupied by John Shook, on Chicago street. They procured the posts, beams, studding, and most of their lumber from Pine Lake Island, in Jefferson Township, which, strange enough, was covered with pine timber. In 1832, they opened a branch store at Cassopolis, where Jacob removed with his family and eventually disposed of his interests here to Abiel. Henry Vanderhoof, who came from Ohio, started a store where Squire Hewitt now lives, and in a short time, disposed of his interests to Clifford Shanahan and Jesse Smith. In 1834, Sbanahan sold out to his partner, and in 1844 was elected Judge of Probate, which office he filled until 1864. Mr. Smith continued in the mercantile business for many years, and then engaged in farming, his death occurring some ten years since. George W. Hoffman, of Niles, taking cognizance of this thriving place, which then bid fair to reach a city of considerable dimensions, brought in a stock of goods in 1835, and placed H. H. Coolidge in charge as agent ; after a time, he built where is now the furniture store of Dr. Aldrich. In the forties, Mr. Coolidge and P. P. Willard en- gaged in business as copartners, and were succeeded by Mr. Millard, who, in about 1848, closed out his stock and went to Niles. H. A. Chapin engaged in business in 1837 or 1838, and afterward took in Samuel Griffin as partner.


Even as early as 1836, the price of property had been forced to an extravagant price, and A. C. Marsh, who came from Dutchess County, N. Y., in this year, purchased the lot where he now resides for $500, and run one of the first blacksmith shops in the place. In 1839, he established a foundry, which he conducted until 1875. A biography of him appears elsewhere.


William Sherwood came to Edwardsburg from Amenia, Dutchess Co., N. Y., with a family of four sons, who assumed considerable importance in an early day. B. D. acted in the public capacity of Notary Public, Town Clerk and Postmaster, and conducted the mercantile business for a time, but in 1849, re-

moved to Elkhart, Ind., where he resumed his business and acted as express agent for twenty years. His son, Henry, now fills the position of express agent, his father having retired from active business. George Sherwood engaged in the mercantile business with his brother, B. D., in Edwardsburg and Elkhart. He was elected and served as Township Clerk here, and County Treasurer in Elkhart County, Ind., from which place he removed to Chicago, and is now a prominent business man of that city.


Seth Sherwood removed to Calvin Township on a farm, and from there to Vandalia, where he conducted a hotel for some years, and then deceased. Charles Sherwood, a printer by occupation, removed to Cass- opolis, and from there to Mishawaka, Ind., where he still resides.


Mrs. Vradenburg, wife of John, an early settler, moved to the West ; also her sister, Mrs. Powers.


Benjamin Sweeney, a former resident of Edwards- burg, was a wheelwright and civil engineer. He sur- veyed and platted Silver's Addition to Edwardsburg, and numerous highways in the county. He removed to Illinois, and from there to California, during the early mining excitement of that State. Ile surveyed and platted the city of Sacramento, Cal., and after- ward returned to Illinois, where he died, respected by all. He was a whole-souled, genial and exceedingly humorous man, and a remarkable caricaturist-a second Nast-and used his talents to the edification of the people of those days. Mr. Sweeney's fertile brain was quick to perceive the eccentricities and peculiarities of an individual, and many a morning could be seen posted in a conspicuous place the results of his labors, which would convulse all with laughter. One individual threatened dire vengence should he be the butt of ridicule, and the day following he was found in the threatening and ludricous attitude in which he uttered his words of warning, which com- pletely unmanned him.


Mr. Keeler, who came to Edwardsburg about 1837, was a basket and sugar-box maker, and, not possess- ing a horse, used to peddle his wares with an ox named " Bright " hitched to a cart, and his strange outfit, coupled with his humorous remarks, never failed to draw a crowd. He was a poet of considerable ability, and gave a champaign supper to which a large number were invited, and, when all were assembled around the festive board, he recited a piece of original poetry caricaturing each one of his guests, which was productive of much merriment. He attended a Democratic meeting at Niles, driving his favorite, "Bright," whose yoke was profusely decorated with flowers. He went West about 1845, and was lost sight of.


Dr. Treat came from New York during the thirties, and was a son-in-law of Myron Strong. He was an able practitioner, and was respected by all.


Dr. I. G. Bugbee came from Vermont to Cass County in 1839, and read with Dr. Treat, and then went to Oakland to practice his profession, but re- turned in 1849, where he remained until his death in 1880. He was one of the charter members of Ontwa Lodge, No. 47, 1. O. O. F., and was an honored member of the fraternity, having been Grand Master of the State Grand Lodge and Representative to the Grand Lodge of the United States. He was an ar- dent Democrat, a lover of education and a respected citizen. He was a man of ideas, and was free to ex- press them.


Dethic Hewett was born in Pittston, Luzerne Co., Penn., December 26, 1795, and removed with his mother (his father having died) to Pike County in 1812, and while there officiated as Postmaster and Justice of the Peace.


In 1836, he emigrated to Calhoun County, Mich., and in 1947 to Edwardsburg. where he followed his trade, that of a blacksmith, until elected to the office of Justice of the Peace in 1850, which office he is now holding and has filled continuously ever since. His office has been sought by hundreds matrimonially inclined from Indiana, for they could be united in marriage here without a license. Although in his eighty-seventh year, he still possesses much vigor and easily discharges the duties of his office. No more fitting tribute to his honor and integrity can be given than to mention his long retention in office. His home is with his son-in-law-Dr. R. E. Griffin.


Henry Walton, of Saratoga County, N. Y., came to Cass County in 1831, and remained one year, after which he went back to New York. In 1837, he settled in Edwardsburg and married Jane Orr, of that place, in the following year. He was elected County Surveyor in 1840, and in 1841 removed to Cassopolis, where he died in 1865, and where his widow now resides. Eleven years of his life were spent in Jefferson Township.


James Boyd came to Edwardsburg from Ogdensburg, N. Y., in 1837, and established a hat shop for the manufacturing of hats, which industry he conducted for six years and it was the only establishment of the kind ever carried on in the county. He did a very large business, selling goods in Cassopolis and all the country round about. This was a very common busi- ness in more eastern settlements in early times. He carried on his trade in other places for several years and settled in Cassopolis in 1853, where he now resides, and where, for four years from 1861 he engaged in business with Dr. Tompkins.
