HURON TOWNSHIP-ORGANIZATION AND OFFICERS.
he served as engineer on the mail line from Mobile to New Orleans. At the breaking out of the Civil War he returned to Detroit and on January I, 1861. was appointed by the Water Commissioners Chief Engineer of the Detroit Water Works, and has ever since been connected with that institu- tion.
Mr. Edwards' success as a mechanical engineer has been marked, and perhaps the highest tribute that can be paid to his ability in this direction is the fact that he designed the monster pumping en- gines in use at the Water Works. These engines, masterpieces of mechanical work, excite the admira- tion of the thousands who visit the works.
In nature and disposition Mr. Edwards greatly resembles the rugged, uncompromising character of the land of his birth. Of sturdy integrity and strong determination, he has always followed the path marked out by the hand of duty. He is simple in his habits and tastes, and a wide circle of friends testifies to the geniality of his nature, while the re- sponsible position he holds shows the esteem in which he is held by the people of Detroit. As a self- educated man, Mr. Edwards is a good illustra- tion of what energy and perseverance, uprightness and application will do for a man in a land of op- portunities.
HURON TOWNSHIP.
This township was created by Act of April 12, 1827, and then included the four towns now known as Romulus, Van Buren, Sumpter and Huron The first township meeting was held at the house of Matthew Wood, on Monday, May 27, 1827. On March 17, 1835, the township was reduced in size by the creation of the town of Romulus, and by a law taking effect April 6 of the same year, it was still further reduced by the creation of the township of Van Buren. The organization of the town of Romulus made it necessary to provide a new place for the annual meeting of the township of Huron, and a law of March 23, 1835, provided that the meeting should be held at the house of Artemus Hosmer.
