HISTORY OF CASS COUNTY, MICHIGAN.
Edward J., now a resident of Washington Territory, has held the office of Township Supervisor and various other elective offices.
When S. R. Rockwell came to Michigan from Ohio in 1842, and settled on the farm on which his son, John D., now resides, it was in a wild state and while improving it he worked at his trade-carpenter and joiner-and made many of the " arks," so called, that conveyed wheat down the river. He held the office of Justice of the Peace for sixteen years. Mrs. John D. Rockwell, formerly Adelaide Miller, and her husband are the parents of two children.
Among the women of the township who performed manual labor, Elizabeth, wife of Charles Carter, probably takes the lead. Being accustomed to out- door work in England, her native country, she entered upon the labors of pioneer life with a zest, and mauled rails, dug grubs, etc., and boasts of having bound four acres of rye in one day, a feat which few experts could possibly accomplish. They settled in 1848, and were successful farmers.
When Braddock Carter and his wife, Caroline (Fuller), came to Cass County from Jefferson County, N. Y., they performed their journey over the then unaccustomed route by water, round the lakes, the journey occupying four weeks. They settled on land he had purchased in 1836, and have never seen cause to regret their change. Their son, Stiles, who is mar- ried, resides on the old farm.
D. Sullivan, before referred to, is a native of Ire- land, although raised in the land of wooden nutmegs by a man named Gregory ; with him he moved to Elk - hart, Ind., and there lived until coming to this town- ship in 1855, where he now successfully farms it on Section 19, South Porter.
In 1847, Nathan Skinner settled in North Porter, and virtually in the woods, and drew fine whitewood lumber to White Pigeon, and sold at $6 per thousand, with which to purchase household necessities. He took an active part in establishing a Methodist Church in his neighborhood, but is now a resident of Jones.
Geo. K. Kirk, a native of Northumberland Co., Penn., settled in Porter Township in 1850, where he deceased Dec. 24, 1880, and where their son David S. now re- sides. In Pennsylvania, he was a member of a rifle company for seven years, and served as Captain in a similar organization in New York State for seventeen years, and was never absent from duty. When George B. and Harriet N. (Smith) Orr moved on their pres- ent farm, their little log house, which contained neither doors, floor or windows, was located in the woods, the present road not being laid out. But things since then have undergone a wounderful transformation, for the woods have disappeared under patient labor, and
it now appears like an old-settled country. They are the parents of eight sons, two of whom are deceased.
Moses Joy came from Chautauqua County, N. Y., in 1835, and purchased some land of John Baldwin, and continued to make purchases until he at one time owned 720 acres. He was a most thoroughgoing farmer, and was the first one to introduce and advo- cate summer fallowing for wheat culture. He was prominent in township affairs until his death in March, 1854.
Among other farmers who came in about this period and have not only witnessed but helped develop the county, is Daniel Stannard, who came in with his father in 1845, and settled in Section 4 ; T. P. Ayers, who came in twenty-seven years ago from Cleveland, Ohio ; John Loupee, whose date of settlement was 1842; J. C. Bellows, who settled as late as 1865; Horace Thompson, in 1864; H. S. Rine, in 1867 : Egbert Wagner, in 1857; George Whited, in 1870; Jacob P. Latshaw, some fifteen years since : Amos Wayne, who came in as late as 1870, and found the the country in its present advanced condition ; and Sherwood Thomas, who came in at an earlier date, as will appear elsewhere.
Levi D. Stamp was born in Reading, N. Y., March 5, 1827. In 1851, he purchased eighty acres, Sec. 33, North Porter, and in the spring of 1856 moved his family on the farm on which he now resides, into an old log house, which was prepared for their recep- tion.
He and his wife, Nancy M. (Damouth), are the parents of five children, as follows : Alice L., Frances M., Albert, Perry, Rosa A. Mr. Stamp has always engaged in agriculture and has been enabled to erect fine substantial looking buildings in lieu of those on the place when he moved on the farm. Heis a man of magnificent physique and great personal strength, and has lifted 1650 pounds, a feat few could accomplish.
Horace Thompson, who was born in Uxbridge, Mass., May 18, 1809, came to Cass County in 1831, and followed the carpenter's trade for a time. He worked on the first flouring mill built at Adamsville, also the first one built in Brownsville. He built the first threshing machine in the county for Hon. George Meacham, who then resided on Beardsley's Prairie. In 1836, he married Eliza E., daughter of Jacob S. Reese, near Adamsville, and removed to Elkhart County, Ind., where he remained until 1850, when he returned to Ontwa Township, this county, and, in 1863, purchased the Coy farm on Baldwin's Prairie, to which he removed his family the following spring, and where he still resides.
Lucius Keeler came to Cass County from Ohio about 1838, and for a time engaged in the fur trade,

but eventually turned his attention to agricultural pur- suits, and is now a prominent farmer of this township. He has filled several township offices, including Jus- tice of the Peace, and has also represented his district in the State Legislature.
Thomas J. Pratt, who died on his farm in this township in 1847 or 1848, came from Erie County, N. Y., in 1831, and settled on Section 7, but subse- quently exchanged farms with Othni Beardsley.
Armstrong Davison located at an early date in the eastern portion of the township, where he died. He reared a large family of children, and, of his daugh- ters, Mrs. Robbins and Mrs. John Hartman now re- side in this township.
Anson Dibble, a brick-maker by occupation, who died here in 1835, held the office of Justice of the Peace for several years.
Among other early settlers was Seth Weed, John A. Jones, Phoenix Driskell and Elihu Davis, who oc- cupied positions more or less prominence.

OZIAL STOREY.
OZIAL STOREY.
Ozial Storey, one of the pioneers of Porter, was born in Onondaga County, N. Y., July 24, 1809. From Onondaga he removed to Pennsylvania, and from there to Oswego, N. Y., where he married Miss Sophia Boots. She was a native of Sussex, England, and was born September 21, 1811. After their mar- riage, they removed to Syracuse, N. Y., where he was engaged on the Erie Canal and in the manufacture of salt. In October of 1836, he came to Cass County with his family, which consisted of his wife and three children, and settled in North Porter, where he utilized a rude cabin that had been used as a sugar camp, as a place of abode for his family. In this place they lived one year, undergoing many privations and hardships. They were obliged to carry drinking water nearly two miles. In 1837, he located forty acres of land in the north part of the town, which became the nucleus of a competency, which was the result of the industry and energy of himself and family which overcame all obstacles, and he became one of the substantial and prosperous farmers of the township, and at the time of his death (July 27, 1876), he owned 280 acres of land.
MRS. OZIAL STOREY.
Mr. Storey was an indefatigable worker, as was each member of his family. His worthy wife (who used to manufacture cloth for home use) and children each performing their full share in ont-door employ- ments, and assisted him in the manufacture of char- coal, of which he produced large quantities.
He was at one time identified with the Baptist Church, from which he withdrew, as he became what might be termed liberal in his religious convictions.
In his political convictions, he was originally a Whig, but on the formation of the Republican party he joined its ranks. He held the office of Township Treasurer, and was regarded by all as a worthy citi- zen and a good neighbor. He reared a family of nine children-Sarah A., now Mrs. Levi Reynolds, of Cal- vin ; Amanda (Mrs. William Robbins); William A. and Milton, both of whom are prominent farmers in Porter ; Hulda O. (deceased); Susan, now Mrs. Charles H. Williams, of Iowa; Julia M., wife of M. V. B. Williams : Frank A. and Charles B., both deceased. Mrs. Storey, whose death occurred November 21, 1880, was a kind mother and a devoted wife, and an exemplary Christian lady. She was a member of the Baptist Clinrch for many years, in which faith she died.
