The school report for the year ending September 3, 1888, shows that there were in the township five frame and two brick houses, costing $4,650, and that eleven teachers were employed ; 457 scholars were enrolled, with an average attendance of 323. As early as 1826 a cemetery was started on Sec- tion 33, and one on Section 21, in 1835. One of the main products of the township is cheese. There are three large factories. The Power factory, on the northwest quarter of Section 5, was started in the spring of 1876, and produces from 300 000 to 400,000 pounds annually. The Livonia factory, about two and a half miles north and east of the cen- ter, has a capacity of about 150,000 pounds annually, and the Gilt Edge factory, on Section 9, makes about 100,000 pounds annually.
In 1828 a church was built by the Quakers on Section 4, where they worshipped in their peculiar manner for several years. The church has been used as a dwelling-house since 1860. A Union Church was built on the southwest quarter of Sec- tion 7, in 1844, and is used at intervals by various denominations.
A place known as Livonia City, and located on the northeast quarter of Section I, was platted in 1836, but no village exists, although a post-office, known as the Plank Road post-office, is located near by.
The town hall was erected in 1872, at a cost of $635, and is located on the southeast quarter of Section 16, There are two union church build- ings in the township, one on the southeast quarter

of Section 7, which was built in 1850, at a cost of $600. The other is on the northeast quarter of Sec- tion 21, and was built in 1879, at a cost of $700. Neither of these buildings are owned by a religious denomination, but occasional religious services are held in them. The population of the township in 1850 was 1,375; in 1860, 1,665; in 1870, 1,679 ; in 1880, 1,638. The valuation in 1840 was $184,885 ; in 1850, $75,215; in 1860, $271,537; in 1870, $258,980; in 1880, $938,640.
ELM AND ELMWOOD.
The post-office known as Elm was formerly called. Elmwood. The name was changed to Elm because of the confusion that arose from the fact that there was an Elmwood in Tuscola County. The railroad station which formerly existed here on the line of the D., L. & N. R. R., by the name of Mckinneys was so called after James McKinney, who owned a saw-mill at this place.
LIVONIA, OR LIVONIA CENTER.
The post-office is located on the Plymouth plank
road near the center of the township. There is a Union church here which was built by subscription in the summer of 1880, at a cost of about $800. It was dedicated in February, 1881, is open to all denominations and seats 150. There is also a Ger- man Lutheran church organized in 1876 by Rev. Deckgengel of Clarenceville. In 1878, he was fol- lowed by Rev. William Bunge, and during 1879 a church was built on Section 22 at a cost of $600. It seats 200. Since 1885 the services have been conducted by ministers from Plymouth and Wayne.
NANKIN, FORMERLY NEWBURG,
Is located on the river Rouge near the Detroit, Lansing & Northern R. R.
STARK.
This post office is located on the railroad about a mile south of Livonia Center and is named after Levi B. Stark, who bought land here in 1858. The railroad station at this point is called Livonia
BIOGRAPHICAL.
WILLIAM M. SHAW was born in London- derry, Ireland, on June 23, 1800, and was the son of Robert and Elizabeth (Bredin) Shaw. He at- tended school in Ireland until his fourteenth year, and was then sent to the University at Edinburgh, Scotland, from which institution he received his diploma as physician and surgeon. He left the old country about the year 1821, and came to America, settling at Fort Plain, New York, where he resided until 1842. While there he supervised the building of the locks on the Erie Canal. From Fort Plain he removed to Michigan, and took up the occupation of farming.
He was married to Leah Borden on December 17, 1826, at St. Johnsville. They had five child- ren, namely, Mary, Elizabeth Malvina, Sarah Jane, Martha Adelia and William Clay. He belonged to the Masonic order, and was a believer in the doc- trines of the Universalist church.
Politically he was a Republican from the organi- zation of that party. He was devoid of ambition and desire for personal notoriety, always attended strictly to his private affairs, and could never be induced to accept political office, although his friends often sought to persuade him to become a candidate.
Honest and upright in all his intercourse with
others, free from ostentation, and invariably genial and kind hearted, he was well thought of by his neighbors and fellow townsmen. He died on Feb- ruary 21, 1885.
His wife, Leah Borden, was born on August 15, 1807, in Sharon, Schoharie County, New York, and was the daughter of Daniel and Mary (Avery) Bor- den. She received a good common school educa- tion, and was well trained in the duties and require- ments that go to make up the qualifications of a good wife and mother. Through life she proved an invaluable helpmate to her husband, and was largely instrumental in securing that success and wealth which surrounded their latter years with peace and comfort. Of gentle disposition and gen- erous heart, she was noted for her deeds of charity and kindness. Kind, motherly, and sympathetic, her aid was frequently sought by her neighbors in their hours of need, and she did much to succor those in distress. Practical in her ideas, she had nothing but contempt for display, and disdained to avail herself of the arts and devices of society. She was natural and unaffected in all her inter- course, and was highly esteemed and beloved for her goodness of character. She died on August 21, 1884.

MONGUAGON TOWNSHIP-ORGANIZATION AND OFFICERS.
MONGUAGON TOWNSHIP.
This township lies on the river, and is peculiar in that a large share of its area is composed of Grosse Isle, which, with the smaller islands of Hickory, Sugar, Elba. Calf, Fox, Stony and Celeron, is in- cluded in its jurisdiction. For a description of these and other islands in the Detroit River, see Chapter II of this work. The township was created as early as 1818, but its boundaries were newly de- fined by law of April 12, 1827, and the township enlarged by Act of February 16, 1842, which added to it a part of Brownstown. The first township meeting was held on May 25, 1827, at the house of A. C. Truax.
The population in 1850 was 984 ; in 1860, 1,335 ; in 1870, 1,475; in 1880, 2,301. The valuation in 1840 was $97,325 ; in 1850, $60,810; in 1860, $203,- 013; in 1870, $247,766 ; in 1880, $958,070.
At the Battle of Monguagon, in the War of 1812, there was a running fight from near Ecorce to Slocum's Island, below Trenton, where the routed army took to their boats, and there is still the re- mains of a causeway over the Monguagon Creek on the Payne farm where the fleeing army crossed. The dead bodies of both Indians and white men were apparently buried wherever they fell, as all the way along the sand knoll from Ecorce to Trenton bones of the slain have been found. About thirty years ago, when John Copland built a saw-mill at Ecorce on the site of the Salliotte and Raupp mill, the bones of some 100 persons or over were dug up, and Daniel Goodell reburied them under a pear tree in his orchard. The only relic now remaining of the conflict, beyond flint heads and old muskets, is a stone on the farm of Charles Conrad, about five miles west of Trenton, on which is rudely marked, " John Brown taken prisoner by the Indians, 1814."
One of the earliest improvements proposed in the township was provided for by Act of March 23, 1836, which incorporated the Huron Canal and Manufacturing Company with a capital of $75,000, and the following directors : A. C. Truax, S. B. Campbell, Henry Bennett, N. Dustin and C. N. Ben- nett. The company was organized to complete a canal to connect the waters of the Huron and Detroit at Truago, which was to be completed be- fore April 1, 1841. This project, however, like numerous others of the same character common at that period entirely failed.
The origin of the name Monguagon and other valuable facts will be found in Chapter XXII.
Schools.
In 1888, in addition to the schools in Trenton,
there were three school buildings on Grosse Isle, the three being valued at two thousand dollars, and located as follows : The Central Graded School, on private claim 522, seating 110, with an average daily attendance of fifty-nine; the North School, on private claim 550, seating sixteen with an average daily attendance of eleven; the South School on claim 556, seating fourteen, with an average daily attendance of nine. There was also a school near Sibley's on the southeast quarter of Section I. The building, a frame, was valued at $150. It seated seventy, and had an average daily attendance of fifty-nine, of which eight were non-resident pupils.
Cemeteries.
On April 2, 1866, $200 was voted to purchase a burying ground in the village of Trenton, and $100 for a burying ground on Grosse Isle.
