moved into it, and from this time until his death he was a resident of this township. While residing here, he constructed a saw-mill on the banks of a small stream on Section 32. His was the first saw-mill in the township. The little stream that was to furnish the motive power failed the next fall, in conse- quence of the dry weather. About this time, Bald- win Jenkins, of Pokagon, made him a visit ; and Mr. Rudd, who no doubt was somewhat elated over his mill, as it was the first and only one in that section of the country, invited his friend and the ladies to take a walk down and view it. After looking it over and hearing Mr. Rudd's enthusiastic remarks con- cerning it, Baldwin very seriously inquired if there was any water there when he built the mill.
The following is from papers prepared by Mr. Rudd for publication a short time before his death :
" In the fall of 1834, I saw Cass County for the first time. I landed on what is now Calvin Town- ship, where I had a sister living, the wife of Jesse Hutchinson. She is now in Iowa with the rest of the Hutchinson family. The first vote I remember of casting was in an old house, on what is now the farm of William Jones, located near where the road strikes the marsh going west from James Bower's place. This was an election of delegates to form the State Consti- tution. James O'Dell, Baldwin Jenkins and Col. New- ton, were the delegates of the Whig party. I shall never forget an old Whig voter in his zeal and under the inspiration of old rye, declaring that whoever voted that ticket would clear himself from hell. Pretty strong language I thought. I voted for them and they were all elected.
" A short time before Horace Nicholson met his sad fate in Lilly Lake, he and I were getting up a petition to the Territorial Legislature, to have the township of Newberg organized. Horace remarked 'we will spell it differently from other burgs,' so we spelled it ' berg.'" Barker Rudd was a man full of energy and enterprise, and whatever he turned his hand to he did with all his might. He was often called upon by his fellow-citizens to fill positions of honor and trust. At the time of his death, he was living in the northwest part of the township, on Section 6, where his widow now resides with her son Nelson. The children are Harriet, Abbie, Candace, Barrak, Thomas (deceased), Nelson and Alice.
William D. Easton, a native of New Jersey, came to New York when a young man, and remained about sixteen years. While living in this State his first wife. Annı Smith, who hal borne him three children, died. March 30. 1824, he married his second wife, Mary R. Powell. The fruit of this union was seven children. In June, 1825, he moved to Calhoun

County, Mich., and from thence to Newberg Town- ship in 1836. There were but seven families in the township when he came. He entered land on Sec- tion 30. His son-in-law, William H. Pemberton, is living on the old homestead. William H. Pember- ton has been a citizen of Newberg since 1844, and has filled the office of Township Treasurer at different times. William D. Easton filled the office of Town- ship Clerk for many terms in succession in the early history of the township, and also the office of Justice of the Peace. He was in the war of 1812 and drew a pension. He was a man of retiring disposition, but active and energetic in business. He departed this life in 1877, at the age of eighty-four years.
Alexander Allen, a native of the Emerald Isle, emigrated to the State of New York in 1814, when twenty-three years of age. He came to Newberg in 1836, and entered land on Section 13, in July of the same year. He then returned to his former home in Washington County, for his family, and the following year returned to Michigan, and from that time until his death he was a resident of the township; he was a mason by trade, and his log cabin was the first to be honored with a brick chimney and large brick bak- ing oven. Isaac Sprague burned a brick-kiln on the farm of James Glass, on Section 34, from which the brick was obtained. This was the first brick-kiln in this part of country.
William D. Jones, a native of New York, came to Ohio in 1832, and from thence to Michigan in 1836. He entered his land November 18, 1835, on Section 34 ; he also made another entry on the same section July 21, 1836. Two of his sons, Dudley and Minor, came in and commenced improvements on their father's lands in the summer of 1836, and he followed them with the rest of the family in a few months. He built his log cabin on the north side of Bair Lake in the fall of 1836, and where he resided until his tragical death, which occurred on the night of the 18th of June, 1858. The manner of the death of William D. Jones and his wife, Mary, whose maiden name was Osborn, is the most heartrending that ever befalls the pen of the historian to record. Mr. Jones had passed through all of the privations and hardships incident to pioneer life, and had by long years of toil and good management, cleared up and improved a large farm ; reared, educated and provided for a large family of children, and was now contemplating the building of a large and substantial briek dwelling, in which to pass his declining years. The building was well under way, the material collected, and workmen engaged in its erection at the time the tragedy oc- curred.
On the night above mentioned, the family retired
at the usual hour, Mr. Jones and two of the workmen sleeping up-stairs ; and Mrs. Jones, an invalid at this time, and two young ladies, one a daughter, the other a grand-daughter, were sleeping below. About 11 o'clock, a dense smoke, which filled the whole house, aroused the workmen, who loudly gave the alarm and rushed down stairs. The daughter had arisen, ran through the back kitchen out to the well, leaving the doors open. This furnished a draft, and the flames poured through the door into the main building, thus cutting off the escape of the men in that direc- tion. They fled to the front door and found that fastened, but fortunately they chanced upon an ax, with which they battered it down and secured their escape. They at once hastened to the window of Mrs. Jones' bedroom, and broke it in to attempt her rescue. This only furnished the fire fiend with a new weapon. They were beaten back by the flames, and with the daughter and grand-daughter, were compelled to stand by powerless to render any assistance-im- potent witnesses of the holocaust. Mr. Jones suc- ceeded in reaching the foot of the stairs, where he was overcome with the smoke and flames, and perished. The grand-daughter never knew how or when she made her escape.
E. H. Jones, the youngest of their family, now resides on the old homestead. He is a man of fine intellectual abilities, and, in addition to the office of Justice of the Peace, which he has held for many years, was elected to represent his district in the State Legislature in 1862. The village of Jones, which bears his name, was surveyed and platted by him in 1875, but neither the plat nor date of survey is a matter of record.
Spencer Nicholson, a native of Vermont, came into the township and settled on Section 32 in the fall of 1836. He laid out a village south of Lilly Lake and east of the graveyard, but it belongs to the class of villages known as " paper cities." Ilorace, his son, also entered land and made a settlement on the same section in the same year. In the fall of 1838, Horace Nicholson lost his life under the following circum- stances : He had shot and wounded a deer, which plunged into the lake and swam across. Horace hurried to the bank of the lake where an old canoe was moored. The canoe was leaky and unsafe, but in the hurry and excitement of the moment, he allowed his zeal to overcome his prudence and ventured out in the rotten craft, intending to paddle across before it would fill and sink, but the water gained on him so fast that it went down before half-way across. He was a good swimmer, but from his reduced condition, caused by a recent attack of the fever and ague, and the water being very cold, he became chilled and was

unable to make much headway, and sank to be seen no more. At the time of the accident, his father and mother were on the bank of the lake, and saw their son go down, but were unable to render him any aid.
Samuel Hutchings, a native of the State of New York, came to Portage County, Ohio, in 1833, and from thence to Michigan in 1837. The date of his land entries on Sections 32 and 33 is October 1, 1835, but he did not make a permanent settlement until 1837. He came from Ohio to Newberg with two yoke of oxen attached to one wagon, bringing with him his family and household goods. His experiences as a pioneer were the same as all those who emigrate to a new and undeveloped country must necessarily pass through. Of his children now living, Nelson A. and Harriet J. are in Newberg, the former on the old homestead ; Charlotte A. and Martha, in St. Joseph ; Flora M., in South Haven, and Marvin C. in Wash- ington Territory.
Samuel Eberhard, a native of Pennsylvania, came with his parents, David and Susan Eberhard, to Craw- ford County, Ohio, in 1826, where he remained ten years, and from thence he came with his parents to Porter Township, where his father entered land and remained one year. The date of his settlement in Newberg is 1837. His father moved from Ohio to Michigan with ox teams, having four and sometimes six oxen attached to the wagon which was loaded with 1,600 pounds of household goods, provisions for the journey and other effects. His father also brought with him ten head of cattle and a number of sheep. There was such a plentiful supply of wild game in the forests when they came that, during the year they lived in Porter Township, they purchased but fifteen pounds of pork of John Bair, paying him twenty-five cents per pound. In the fall of 1836, Samuel's suc- cess as a hunter was established. He, in eighteen successive days, killed forty-five deer with what he terms his " pillock" rifle.
During the winter of 1836-37, he and his father constructed their first log cabin in Newberg Township, on Section 22, and in the spring of 1837 moved into it, and from that time until the present Samuel has been a citizen of this township. The hewed logs of this cabin are in a sound condition and may be seen to-day in a log stable on Section 23, where Samuel now resides.
In the spring of 1847. while engaged in planting corn, Samuel's hoe struck on some object which, at first, he thought to be an old root, but on closer ex- amination it proved to be a roll of clay, which on being broken open was found to contain an Indian's calumet or pipe of peace. It was constructed in such a manner as to perform the double office of pipe and
tomahawk. What lends greater interest to this instru- ment is the ingenious way in which the copper edge is let into and welded to the iron blade. The method of uniting copper and iron was known to the ancients, but may now be classed among the lost arts. This pipe is now among the archives of the Pioneer Society at Cassopolis.
Rachel and Betsey Eberhard, sisters of Samuel, were the first interments in the Poe Cemetery. Rachel deceased the 7th of May and Betsey the 14th of the same month in 1838.
Hiram Harwood, a native of Vermont, emigrated to New York and from there to St. Joseph County, Mich., in 1831. He and his family, accompanied by Gard Sickles and family, came with teams by way of the Erie Canal and the lakes to Detroit, and thence across the southern part of Michigan to Three Rivers, where Hiram Harwood made his home for six years. The country around Three Rivers at this time was sparsely settled, there being only one log house where Three Rivers now stands. He lived in a trader's bark shanty the first winter, his table being an old chest, and very often his scanty meal consisted of nothing but potatoes and salt, and this condiment cost fifteen cents per pound. He entered his land in Newberg, January, 1837, on Section 24. Here, on the banks of what is now known as Corey Lake, he erected his log cabin. Joshua Corey had settled on the same section the year previous, and he was the only neigh- bor residing within three miles, and Three Rivers was his nearest trading-point. With the early history of the township he was intimately identified, as will be seen by reference to its civil list. He was a man of great fortitude, seldom changing his opinions and plans when once formed. He was a pensioner of the war of 1812. His remains with that of his wife sleep in the Corey Burying Ground. Of the children now living, Nathan and Silas are living in Newberg, the former on the old homestead, and Daniel A., in St. Joseph County ; Maila A., Sarah A., and Betsey are deceased.
Myron F. Burney, son of Thomas Burney, came with his father to this township when two years of age, and has lived here ever since. He is a respected citizen and lives on his farm on Section 7.
Peter Harwood, a native of Wayne County, N. Y., arrived with his family in Newberg in 1842, and settled on Section 25, being the first settler on that section. His son, William M., resides on Section 16, where he has a fine farm under a good state of culti- vation. He is spoken of as one of the progressive farmers of the township. Peter Harwood and his wife Mary (Averill) were interred in the Corey Lake Cemetery.

HISTORY OF CASS COUNTY, MICHIGAN.
Martin Van Buren, native of Columbia County, N. Y., emigrated to Battle Creek, Mich., in 1836, where he remained seven years. From thence he removed to Brady, Kalamazoo County, but remained there only a few months, when he moved to Three Rivers, where he resided until his removal to New- berg in 1845. The first vote he ever cast was on the admission of the Territory of Michigan as a State. He now lives on Section 27.
Sally A. Pound, the widow of Thomas Pound, is living on the old homestead on Section 25. Thomas purchased the land which was designated as Govern- ment swamp land about 1843.
Thomas N. Dyer, a native of Vermont, emigrated to New York when a young man, where he resided for a number of years. He moved from New York to Constantine, St. Joseph County, in 1835, where he lived until he moved to Newberg in 1843, and settled on Section 33, where he died in 1879. He was in the war of 1812. His son, James M., lives on the old homestead.
Reason S. Pemberton, a native of Ohio, moved to Indiana about 1832, and from thence to Michigan in 1843, and settled in Penn Township. His son, Will- iam H. H. Pemberton, came to Newberg in the spring of 1870, bought a farm of William D. Easton, on Sec- tion 30, where he is living at the present time.
J. S. Tompkins, a native of the State of New York, came with his father and two brothers to Trumbull County, Ohio, in 1828. They walked from Buffalo, a distance of about two hundred miles. Jabes S. Tompkins was only nine years of age at this time. When he was twelve years old he was apprenticed to Joseph M. Thorn for eight years and one month, or until he was twenty-one, to learn the shoemaker's trade. He came from Ohio to Michigan, and became a resident of Newberg in 1852. Has followed farm- ing till the last three years, which time he has been in a hotel at Jones Village.
There are many others who came into the town- ship at a later day, but they cannot be consid- ered pioneers, although many of them did the first work upon their farms. As belonging to this class we enumerate the following persons : A. P. Beeman, Thomas McKee, Philo Brown, A. M. Sisson, John- son Driskel, Samuel McKee, A. P. Boyer, George Standerline, G. P. Mann, George Evans, J. M. Mc- Kee and others.
John Hurd and his wife Rebecca (Walker) settled on Section 32 in 1836. They were from England ; came to America in 1828, and lived in Crawford County, Ohio, for eight years. Four children came with them from England, and four were born in America. The eldest, Mary, married John Lybrook,
and resides in La Grange Township. John, who is a minister of the Disciples' Church, lives at Paw Paw. Ann (Chittenden) is in Iowa. Rebecca (Richardson), Thomas and Isaac are deceased, and Solomon and Samuel are in Texas. Mrs. Hurd is deceased, but the husband and father of the family is still living at the age of eighty-one years, and makes his home with his daughter, Mrs. Lybrook.
