Immediately west of the northern part of Indian Lake is a tract of land that in a state of nature must have offered many attractions to those in search of homes. It was covered with a magnificent growth of sugar maple. It had a rich and productive soil, and was but ten miles distant from Niles, then a thriving little hamlet. For some unexplained reason, no one fully appreciated the advantages offered until 1839, , when William B. Gilbert, in search of a desirable lo-

cation, purchased 400 acres of the tract above referred to from John Woolman and George Kimmell, who had entered it in 1836.

Mr. Gilbert came from Springfield, Otsego Co., were made of birch bark, sewed together with thongs N. Y., which place he left in the spring or summer of 1838 for an extended tour of observation in the West. These mococks, filled with sugar, were strung in pairs over the pony's back, making him look like an Eastern donkey loaded with panniers of oranges. Thus loading the ponies, they would bestride themn and go to the She-mo-ka-man's cabin to "swap " for quas-gun (bread), sam-mock (tobacco) or any other article they wanted. It is said that those witnessing its manufacture were not especially anxious to pur- chase for their own consumption. He made a short stop in the Township of Pokagon, and afterward continued his journey further west. Failing to find a locality that, in his judgment, offered so many advantages to the permanent settler as did the county of Cass, he returned to Pokagon, and shortly afterward went back to Otsego County for his family. His description of the beauty of the country, the fertility of the soil, and the ultimate ad- vantages arising from settlement, induced two of his Anderson Gilbert resides in Keeler, Van Buren County. Julia A. married Daniel Blish, who, for many years, represented Silver Creek on the Board of Supervisors, and resides in Dowagiac. Jane, now Mrs. Dexter Cushing, lives about two miles north of the old home. The first marriage that occurred in this locality took place at the residence of Squire Blish, who performed the ceremony. The parties were a Miss Dewey and Joseph Waltar. The first death was a daughter of David Waltar. neighbors, Daniel Shaul and David Waltar, to accom- pany him. In the spring of 1839, they left the place of their nativity with their families and household goods loaded in wagons, for their future homes. They came by the way of Ohio, and arrived in Pokagon in June, after a long and tedious journey. In July, he made his purchase. He and Mr. Shaul immediately commenced the improvement of their purchases ; they built their cabins, into which they removed in the lat- ter part of the year.

Like many others who availed themselves of the cheap and fertile lands of Michigan, Mr. Waltar had exhausted his resources in his removal, and had not the available funds for the purchase of lands. He took a job of clearing six acres of land, and with the amount thus earned purchased forty acres on Section 33. The energy and pluck thus exhibited was pro- phetic of future success, and he ultimately acquired a large property, and became one of the successful men of the township.

Mr. Gilbert entered into the affairs of the town- ship and the improvement of his estate with charac- teristic energy and zeal ; he dealt extensively in wild lands, and rendered material aid in the settling and development of the township.

In 1840, in company with John Woolman, he took a contract of the State to construct four miles of road on what is now known as the town line road between Pokagon and Silver Creek.

Mr. Gilbert, or " Uncle Tommy," as he was famil- iarly known, resided in Silver Creek until his decease, which occurred in his seventy-fourth year. His youngest son, Eugene B., one of the prominent farmers of the township, resides on the old home- stead, on the banks of Indian Lake. William resides on a part of the original purchase. He states that, on his farm there was, in the early days, an Indian Church, also several Indian sugar camps.

The Indians seldom made their sugar into cakes.

Their usual process was to stir it with a stick while cooling, thus graining it. They put this in quantities of one-half bushel or less into " Mococks," which made from slippery-elm bark.

THE FIRST SCHOOL.

" But soon they knocked the wigwam down, And pine tree trunk and limb Began to sprout among the leaves, In shape of steeple slim ; And soon was heard the saw-mill's ' clack ' Along the river's brim, And up the little schoolhouse shot, To keep the boys in trim."

The first recorded evidence of a school is found in the report of the school inspectors for 1839. There were four organized districts, District No. 1 being the only one in which a school was taught. There were twenty-nine scholars in the district, twenty-six of whom were in attendance. One hundred and fifty dollars was raised for the purpose of building a school- house, and twenty dollars for library purposes.

A term of three months was taught, and the text- books used were Webster's Elementary Spelling Book, English Reader, Emerson's Juvenile Reader, Olney's Geography and Smiley's Arithmetic. J. B. Treat is positive in his statement that the schoolhouse re- ferred to in the report was not built until the fall of 1841. The probability, however, is that it was built in 1840, on the southwest quarter of Section 1. Nel- son Copley was undoubtedly the first teacher, and among the pupils were Martin Mendenhall, Jacob Suits, Joseph Suits, J. B. Treat, Lucinda Suits, Phil- lip Mendenhall, George McDaniels, David McDaniels, William Barney, Jane Van Houghton, Ira Treat,

BALTZER LYBROOK.

Baltzer Lybrook was born in Giles County, Va., May 19, 1824. He was the son of Isaac and Nancy (Burk) Lybrook, who reared a family of two sons, Baltzer and Isaac, Jr. The elder Lybrook was a planter, and a gentleman of education In 1824, he removed to Preble County, Ohio, where he died in the spring of 1825, leaving his widow and two sons in limited circumstances. Mrs. Lybrook was a native of Giles County, where she was born Nov. 5th, 1795; her father, John Burk, also a native of the same county, was one of its first settlers, and in his day a man of prominence, occupying many positions of trust and emolument. In 1828, Mrs. Lybrook's fam- ily decided to remove to Michigan, and she resolved to follow their fortunes. She was illy supplied with the necessary means to enable her to establish herself and boys in a new country, but she resolutely faced all the dangers and privations incident to life in a new country, and in the autumn of 1828 settled in Pokagon. She was a woman of much force of char-

acter, and endowed with more business ability than most women. With her needle she earned a sum suf- ficient to purchase one hundred and sixty acres of land, eighty of which were in Berrien County, to which she removed in 1840, and where she died in 1871, in her seventy-fifth year. Baltzer was four years of age at the time of their removal to Michigan. At the age of sixteen, he went to Berrien County, where he resided until 1851, at which time he returned to Cass County, settling in the township of Silver Creek on a new farm. In 1850, he was married to Miss Eliza- beth, daughter of Henry Miller, of Preble County. She was born in Montgomery County, in March of 1832, and came to Michigan in 1849; four children have been born to them-Lewis C., Andrew L., Eliza B. and Anna B. Mr. Lybrook has always followed agricultural pursuits, and in his chosen vocation has been successful ; he has acquired a competency, and occupies a prominent position among the best citizens of the county.

Maria Van Houghton, Ruby Treat and Louisa Treat.

In the south part of the township, the first school- house was erected in the center of Section 29, and the first school was taught by Miss Elizabeth Hall, now Mrs. Freeman Spencer. Among the pupils were Eli Ridenour, William Ridenour, Susan Ridenour, Me- rinda Shaul, Anderson Shaul, Elwood Woolman, Jane Gilbert, Mary Jane Woolman, . Eugene B. Gilbert, George Knapp, Anderson Gilbert, Monroe Knapp, Melvina Knapp and Josephine Knapp.

The first disciple of Esculapius who administered to the necessities of the people of Silver Creek was Dr. Jacob Allen, of Whitmanville, and the first resi- dent physician was Dr. William Fowler.

The first storekeeper was John G. A. Barney. He carried on quite a trade with the Indians for several years, buying their furs and skins and fur- nishing them with provisions, etc.

An Indian by the name of Topash also kept a store on Long Lake. His business was, of course, confined exclusively to the Indians, and evidently was not very profitable or congenial, as he remained but a short time.

POSTMASTERS.

Mail carrying has passed through several eras since the pioneer period. It was first carried by a man on foot; then came the post boy, the stage coach, and then the railway train. The first paper used was the foolscap, then the small business sheet. The letter was at first folded, one side of the paper being left blank, so as to form its own envelope, and was sealed with wax or wafer. Then came the patent envelope, which was considered to be quite an innovation, and last, the stamped self-sealing envelope.

The first post office was a very primitive affair. It was only used when there was no settler's house cen- tral enough to accommodate the inhabitants. It con- sisted of a small box, with two parts inside and lid on top, and nailed to a tree located as stated above. In this box the post boy left the mail and took the letters to be sent away as he passed by on his route ; and, as evidence of the good character of the people, steal- ing letters from or in any way interfering with this box was never heard of.

Whether the people of Silver Creek ever availed themselves of this primitive post office is not known ; the probability is that they did not, as the earliest post office in the township was at the residence of James Allen, he being the first Postmaster. Cushing is the only office within the township at this time, and is located in the west central part of the township.

The first architecture arose from the simplest needs of men. The earliest inhabitants of the earth dwelt

in the woods or caves for shelter. The next step was the tent of the simplest shepherd or the rude hut of logs. In place of the latter, the early settler found here another type-the Indian, or the dwellers in wigwams. Improving somewhat on the earliest style of architecture, the pioneer reared his log cabin in sight of his dusky neighbor's wigwam ; but in a short time the log house, with its huge fireplace, and stick chim- ney, and rude furniture, was superseded by the frame house. The first house of this character in Silver Creek was built by Henry Dewey, a carpenter by the name of Shaw doing the work.

By reference to the original land entries, it will be seen that twenty-eight years elapsed between the first entry, made by McDaniels, in 1834, and that of George HI. House, in 1862. In 1850, there were over 1,500 acres of Government land. The second decade did not witness a rapid development. The lands lying adjacent to the North Branch of Dowagiac Creek were for the most part low and swampy, and not adapted to agricultural purposes. Much of it, however, on being reclaimed, has proved to be very valuable. In 1854, B. W. Scher- merhorn was elected Supervisor, and, in making his assessment for that year, he states that he found the township comparatively new, and in the vicinity of the Roman Catholic Church there was still a remnant of Pokagon's band.

There are many who, while they are not pioneers in the ordinary acceptation of the term, have done a great deal of pioneer work, and have endured many of the hardships. They may with propriety be called pioneers of the second class, and are in every way worthy of association with those who in the early days laid the corner-stone for the present wealth and development of the township.

The State of Ohio is well represented. Among the number emigrating from that State was Arad Knapp. The precise date of his emigration is not known, but was about 1843. He came from the Township of York, Sandusky County, with his family, which con- sisted of his wife and eight children; his worldly ef- fects aside from his land were his team, one cow, a wag- on, and $3.50 in money. For five weeks they lived in a house twelve by fourteen ; they then removed to the farm on which his widow now resides, and where his de cease occurred in 1859.

George Bedford was one of the early settlers in that portion of the township in which he resides. He was born in England, and emigrated to this country , settling in Onondaga County, N. Y .; from thence he removed to Silver Creek, where he arrived in October, 1841. His family consisted of his wife and two children, George E., and Harriett, now Mrs. John B.

Williams. His brother-in-law, William Smith, had arrived the year previous, and had located on the farm now owned by Otis Cushing. With him Mr. Bedford remained until the following spring; during the win- ter, he built a cabin upon the land he had located on Section 28. His neighbors were Jacob Ridenour, Da- vid Waltar, Daniel Blish and William B. Gilbert. Money at this time was a scarce article ; the tax col- lector was imperative in his demands, and to make provision for this expenditure, Mr. Bedford was obliged to go to Indiana during harvest time, where he worked for $1 per day, and the money thus earned was saved for the purpose above mentioned.

In 1835, Erastus White removed from Wayne County, N. Y., and settled near Adrian, Lenawee County, where he resided until 1847, when he came to Silver Creek. With him came his family, consisting of his wife and nine children; he located upon the farm where he now resides, and which he has im- proved. At this time, game of all kinds was in abundance, especially deer. Mr. White, who was an excellent shot, is said to have killed the largest deer ever shot in this part of the county ; it dressed 300 pounds, while the hide alone weighed fourteen. Three sons are the only members of his family now living in the township.

Daniel Blish was one of the pioneers in the south- ern part of the township. He came from Orleans County, N. Y., and settled on Section 32.

William Judd came from Fairfield, Conn., and set- tled in 1844; he was a farmer and cooper, and died in Dowagiac at the advanced age of ninety-two years. He had nine children, four of whom-Mark, Eunice, Rhoda Ann and Fanny-reside in Dowagiac.

In the autumn of 1850, Abraham Conklin, with his family, consisting of his wife and five children- Belinda, Gilbert, Simeon, Jane and Abram-emigrated from the town of Stark, Otsego Co., N. Y., to Silver Creek. His first purchase of land was in the town- ship of La Grange, to which he removed in August of 1851. In 1853, he disposed of his property and re- turned to Silver Creek, where he purchased 270 acres on Sections 31 and 32. He resided in the township until his decease, which occurred December 24, 1876. Mr. Conklin was one of the prominent farmers of the county, and by his industry, amassed a large property ; he owned at one time 936 acres of the most valuable land in the township. His wife died in 1868. Six of his children reside in the township-Gilbert, Abramn C., Simeon, Charles E., Jane and Lydia S.

B. W. Schermerhorn settled in Silver Creek in March, 1852, on the southwest quarter of Section 30. He was a resident of the township up to 1866, when he removed to Dowagiac.

Horatio W. Rider was from Essex, Essex Co., N. Y. He settled on the farm where his widow now re- sides in 1850. In 1851. he was married to Miss Mary E. Amidon. Mr. Rider was prominent in educational matters, and for twenty-four years was School Director.

Isaac Tice came to Silver Creek in 1852 from Albany, N. Y. He owned a large tract of land which he purchased from Erastus Corning, with whom he had intimate business relations. He died in Dowagiac in 1872.

William Bilderback was originally from Warren County, Ohio, from whence he removed to Berrien County in the fall of 1845. After a residence of five years in Berrien, he purchased of Kingsbury and Red- field eighty acres of wild land, on Section 34, to which he removed with his wife and three sons-Peter J., William W. and John-in April of 1850. A resi- dence of over thirty years in Silver Creek entitles Mr. Bilderback to a conspicuous place on the pioneer roster. Peter J. and William W. were among the " brave boys in blue," who lost their lives in the defence of their county. Their names are to be found in the military history of the county. John resides near the old place. James H. Cushing emigrated from the State of New York and settled on Section 29 in February, 1854. He was a native of Vermont, where he was born in 1792. He was a soldier in the war of 1812, and died in Silver Creek, June 14, 1873, in the eighty-first year of his age. The following are the names of his children : Otis, Minerva, Sarah, Gavina, James H., Dexter, Mary, George, Delia and David A. David A. and Dexter are residents of Silver Creek, the former residing on Section 29, the latter on Section 20.

The location of the Roman Catholic Church un- doubtedly induced many of that belief to settle in its immediate vicinity. In 1849, Dennis Daly, in com- pany with his brothers Patrick and Cornelius, pur- chased one hundred and twenty-eight acres of land, now owned by Cornelius. In the same year, they settled upon their purchase and have since been resi- dents of the township. The following year, 1850, was one of many trials and privations to the family of Dennis ; his means were limited, and in addition to the privations thus entailed, the family were all sick. Shortly after his arrival, Mr. Daly attended the Catholic Church, and aside from himself and one other white person, the audience was composed wholly of Indians. The priest, Rev. Father Baroaux, was extremely glad to meet Mr. Daly, as he was the only person in his congregation with whom he could con- verse. In 1865, Mr. Daly removed to the farm where he now resides. In a residence of thirty years,

he has established an enviable reputation and gathered and claim to all of the lands in Southwestern Michigan about him many warm and sincere friends. He has been a successful farmer and is enjoying in the even- ing of his days the fruition of a well-spent life. In the fall of 1849 the Cullinanes-John, Michael and Daniel-settled on Section 7, where they now reside.

George W. Allen bought the farm he now owns of John Barney ; his wife, whose maiden name was Mary Muncie, is a daughter of one of the pioneers of the Township of Volinia, where she was born; when she was two years of age, the family removed to La Grange, where Mr. Muncie died when Mrs. Allen was ten years of age.

Lawrence A. Clapp came from· La Fayette, Onan- daga County, N. Y., with his wife and daughter, now Mrs. Samuel Frost, of Pokagon, and purchased the farm on which he now resides in 1854. Mr. Clapp was married to Miss Lavina Cushing, of Oneida County, New York, in 1849. Mr. Clapp improved his farm.

Caiphas Dill caine from Preble County in 1855, and settled on a new farm on Section 6, where he remained until 1864, when he removed to Van Buren County, from thence to Wayne, and came to where he now resides in 1869.

John F. Swisher with his family, wife and seven children-Harriett, Ann Eliza, Mary, Sarah, William, Charlotte and Thomas-left Preble County in 1855, and came to Silver Creek, settling on Section 8.

In 1844, Elijah Frost and his family came to Po- kagon Township from Otsego County, N. Y., and settled on Section 31, where they remained until 1856, when they removed to Silver Creek, where they have since resided. William M. Frost, who for many years has represented the township upon the board of supervisors, is a son. He has identified himself with all the material interests of Silver Creek.

THE CHURCH OF THE SACRED HEART OF MARY.

In order to understand the causes that resulted in the establishment of " The Church of the Sacred Heart of Mary " in the township of Silver Creek, many miles distant from a city or village, the historian must refer to the early history of Michigan, when devout teachers of the Catholic faith sailed around the lakes cotemporaneous with La Salle, the French explorer, penetrated the St. Joseph Valley, and set up the sacred cross for the purpose of converting the Indians. They measurably succeeded in their desire, and estab- lished the Church of Notre Dame, in Indiana, one at Bertrand, in this State, and in other places.
