every family in the settlement, it was almost impossible to harvest any crops. Although extra inducements were offered, none would accept, and Mr. White was compelled to set fire to his field of oats and burn them up. Mr. White's services as a carpenter were in constant demand ; was a house to be erected or a barn to be built, he was the man to do it. After a few years, they outgrew the limits of their shanty home, and he built a neat and comfortable frame dwelling. Mr. White has held the office of Justice of the Peace several terms, and has served as Secretary of the Cass County Farmers' Insurance Company. He and his wife are now residents of the city of Dowagiac, having retired from the farm a few years ago.
Silas A. Pitcher, at the age of twenty-one and unmarried, came from Hocking Co., Ohio, to Hamil- ton Township, Van Buren County, with his brother- in-law, John Cumley.

Here they lived until June, 1838, when they moved to Section 5, and settled on land bought July 19, 1836. The farm is now owned by Silas A. Pitch- er, and Mr. and Mrs. K. are now living in Dowagiac.
In moving to their new home in north Wayne, in June. 1838, he went through near where the present road is located, and forded North Dowagiac Creek about five rods below where the bridge is now. They

Here he settled on Section 20, where he purchased land, paying $5 per acre. There was on the land a cabin and about five acres of clearing. When Mr. Tinkler had paid for his land, he had just enough money left to purchase provisions for one year and buy a yoke of oxen ; then he traded a silver watch for a plow. He has in his farm 136 acres. His eldest son, Isaac W., is residing in Buchanan; George is living on an adjoining farm ; a daughter, Mrs. John Nash, on a part of the Barney farm, Section 15.

MRS. ISABEL KIRKWOOD.
JAMES KIRKWOOD.
James Kirkwood, one of the pioneers of Wayne, was born in Ayrshire, Scotland, April 12, 1811. His father, Thomas Kirkwood, was a successful farmer, and married Jeanette Crawford, by whom he reared a family of nine children. James received a common school education, and, at the age of seventeen, started in life for himself as a farm-hand. On attaining his majority, he left the home of his nativity and came to the United States. He stopped in the town of Gal- way, Saratoga Co., N. Y., for two years, when he went to Summit County, Ohio, where he remained until his emigration to Cass County, in February of interests of Wayne, and served his fellow-townsmen,
1836. He purchased the farm on which he now re- sides in the township of Wayne. In 1840, he was married to Miss Isabel, daughter of James Brown,
whose sons, David and William, were the founders of the village of Brownsville. Mrs. Kirkwood is a native of Ayrshire, where she was born in August 12, 1819. She came to Michigan with her family in 1831. They reared a family of seven children, only two of whom are living-John and Agnes. John resides on the old farm ; Agnes married Elmer Hall. The life of Mr. Kirkwood, in many respects, is not unlike that of most of the early settlers of Cass County. He has given his energies to the improvement and cultivation of his farm, and the building up of an honorable repu- tation. He has identified himself with all the best in many capacities, those of Treasurer and Road Com- missioner being the most notable ones.
