The school report for the year ending September 3, 1888, showed a total of four brick school-houses costing $21,000 and four frame houses costing $4,- 300. The total seating capacity was 1, 188. There were 2,132 pupils enrolled, and an average attend- ance of 620. Six male and nine female teachers were employed.
The Catholic Church of the Holy Cross is lo- cated on the Dix road on Private Claim 40. The land was given 1838 by Joseph Charboneau, and soon after a chapel was erected, and since that time mission services have been held at intervals by various priests.
The population of the township in 1850 was 1,263; in 1860, 1,518; in 1870, 3,488; in 1880, 7,960. The value of the property in the township in 1840 was $202,582 ; in 1850, $96,460; in 1860, $325,875 ; in 1870, $601,815; in 1880 $3,446,200.
The name of the township is thoroughly charac- teristic of the natural features of the lands along the river just below, and even within the present

limits of Detroit, and many natural spring-wells are to be found in this region.
The township is not only well watered with springs, but a number of streams meander through it. Baby Creek, or as its name is sometimes spelled Baubee Creek, is so named from an old French family who came to this region at a very early day. Roulo Creek preserves the name of Charles Roulo who once owned Private Claim No. 29. Campbell Creek was formerly a well known stream, and was named after George Campbell, one of the early settlers. Holden's Creek perpet- uated the name of Theodore G. Holden, after whom the Holden road is named. The River Rouge, or as the English always wrote the name the Red River, is the principal stream in the township, and next after the Huron. the largest in the county, and re- markably deep for its width. It was called the Red River probably because the water was colored in early times by the soil through which it ran.
The region about the mouth of the Rouge is des- tined to be a great manufacturing center. A canal has been cut from the bend about a mile from the mouth to the Detroit River, with the purpose of dykeing and draining a large tract, and in order to give increased opportunity for dockage. A gov- verment appropriation has been obtained, and the channel has been widened, and for a quarter of a mile from the mouth of the stream there is an aver- age depth of sixteen feet of water A new bridge over the Rouge at this point is also a great addi- tional advantage.
In the immediate vicinity of these improvements there is already located the Detroit Glass Works, the Sulphite Fibre and Paper Works, the Michigan Carbon Company, the Delta Lumber Company, the Sutton Tub and Pail Factory, and the Anchor Manufacturing Company, who produce not anchors, but barrels in quantities. There are also extensive brick yards in the township.
Fort Wayne, and Woodmere Cemetery, both of which are described in another portion of this work, are in this township. The most noticeable and at- tractive feature, however, is the very extensive Inter- national Fair and Exposition grounds and buildings. Several hundred thousand dollars have been ex- pended in this enterprise, and it is the most extensive and beautifully located local exposition ever pro- vided. It was first opened September 17, 1889, closing on the 27th, and marks an era in the history of Detroit.
There is also located in Springwells, on Lafayette Street, between Govin and Springwells Streets, the property of the Michigan Crematory Association. This society was organized chiefly through the efforts of Dr. Hugo Erichsen, on March 31, 1886. The building, which cost $3,000, was dedicated on
December 10, 1887. The entire property cost $5,400. Up to June, 1889, nineteen bodies had been incinerated. The charge for cremating is $25.
BELLEGRADE.
This was the name of a small village laid out in 1836, on the north side of the Rouge, about half a mile west of Delray. It long ago lost the name once given to it.
DELRAY.
This locality was settled in 1818. The village was recorded in 1856 by Elisha Chase, but much of the land was originally owned by Augustus D. Burdeno. He had been a soldier in the war with Mexico, and was one of the first to cross the ram- parts at the battle of Molina del Ray, and on his return, in memory of that battle, he provided that the village should be named Delray. The principal manufacture is glassware, the Detroit City Glass Works being here located.
OAKWOOD.
This new village, located on the River Rouge. and only six miles from Detroit, was laid out in September, 1889, by Messrs. Peppers & Irvine. who are also the chief owners of an electric railroad, the Detroit, River Rouge & Dearborn Railroad Com- pany, which runs from the western terminus of the Fort Street & Elmwood Street Railroad to Oak- wood, and will eventually be extended to Dearborn. Because of its location, Oakwood has excellent prospects, and the low price of lots, and the energy and enterprise of the proprietors, are certain to result in great advantage to themselves and to those who become owners in this new and thriving suburb
RIVERSIDE.
This is the name of an extinct locality, platted into lots in 1867. It was at the foot of Clark Ave- nue, and is now within the limits of Detroit.
WEST END POSTOFFICE
Is located on the line of the Chicago Road, near the center of the township. St. Alphonsus's Catho- lic Church, located near West End, began by the holding of services in a farm house in 1850. In 1852 a church building was erected, which cost $600. The present edifice, on a property of four acres, was erected in 1874, and cost $6,000. It will seat 220. Their parochial school was established in 1861. Their church was served by the Redemp- torist Fathers until July, 1858. Since that time the following priests have had charge : July, 1858, to May, 1861, Rev. J. Maisejenski ; from 1861 to Sep- tember, 1873, Rev Ch. Chambille; 1873 to January 14, 1883, Rev. G. Godez. Since 1883 the Capuchin Fathers have had charge.

BIOGRAPHICAL.
JOSEPH H. CLIXBY, one of the representa- tive men of the township of Springwells, was born in Detroit in 1850, and is the son of Thomas and Elizabeth (Woodhouse) Clixby. His parents emi- grated from Lincolnshire, England, to Detroit, in 1849. His mother died in 1886 leaving a family of nine children. His father engaged in the brick manufacturing business in 1852, and continued it for many years. Joseph H., in early life engaged
in stock droving and dealing, and soon added the manufacture of brick, eventually retiring from deal- ing in stock. Since 1870 he has engaged exten- sively in brick making and has also erected several residences. He employs from forty to sixty men. He has held the office of Supervisor several terms and also minor offices of his town. He married Hattie Abel of Detroit, in 1871. They have two children, George T., and Mabel A.
