BROOKFIELD.

NATURAL FEATURES. GEOGRAPHY, TOPOGRAPIIY, ETC.

BROOKFIELD lies in the south tier of townships of Eaton County, and is bounded west, north, and east respectively by Walton, Eaton, and Hamlin, and south by Calhoun County. It includes surveyed township 1 north, in range 4 west of the principal meridian. Township-lines were surveyed by John Mullett in 1824-25, and the subdivisions by Sylvester Sibley in 1825.

In the southern part of the township is located a sheet of water known as Narrow Lake, which is the principal

source of Battle Creek. It has an area of about 250 acres, and to the east and south stretches an extensive swamp, the drainage of which gives to the waters of Battle Creek a color similar to that of coffee. The northern portion of the town is also swampy, and these swamps were a terror to the early inhabitants who found it occasionally necessary to cross them. A few smaller lakes and ponds exist in the township, which drain principally, through the swamps, into Narrow Lake and Battle Creek. The surface of Brookfield is in places hilly and broken, and in others comparatively level. The soil is capable of yielding largely

In this, as in nearly all the townships of the county, a large proportion of the land was purchased for purposes of speculation by persons who never became actual residents. It was a custom with the settlers, when a " land-looker" asked aid from them in hunting desirable tracts to pur- chase, to first ascertain whether he intended to locate upon them, and if not, it was little help they gave. Certain persons whose names appear on the foregoing list are spoken of by " old residents" as " speculators of the worst kind," and questions regarding such persons are met with the answer, " Oh, he was a speculator and a rascal, and never settled." The purpose of the pioneers was to popu- late and improve the wilderness into which they had come, and it was hard to tolerate any one in their midst who did not propose to aid them in the good work.

EARLY SETTLEMENT.

The succeeding items are from the records of the County Pioneer Society. Jesse Hart contributes the following :

" I was born in the township of Springfield, Portage (now Summit) Co., Ohio, April 27, 1814, and lived there with my father until I was twenty-three years of age. I then married Miss Rachel Richards, July 16, 1837, and about the 10th day of the next October we started for Michigan, with two light yokes of oxen and one wagon. We got along well until we came to what was called the Black Swanip; then, of all the roads I ever saw or traveled over, that road through that swamp was the worst. Suffice it to say that I worked hard for eight days to get thirty-two miles. We arrived at Joseph Bosworth's on the 6th day of November following; he lived then ia what is now the township of Walton, Eaton Co., Mich. Ilo had moved two or three weeks before, and had got him a shanty built right in the woods. My land was four miles from there in a northeast direction, through the woods, it being the north 100 acres of the northwest quarter of section 7, in town 1 north, of range 4 west, now the township of Brookfield, and is a part of the farm I now own. As Mr. Bosworth was the nearest one to my land, I made arrangements to stay with bim until I could build a shanty and eut a road to it, and I got him to help me. We got the body of the shaaty up, three-fourths of the roof oa, and the door cut out, but had no door nor floor; then we moved in. It was here, io this partly-built shanty, on the 12th day of November, 1837, that my wife and I first commcaced keeping house. It was four miles to the nearest neighbor, with no road but a crooked track I had cut through the forest, and the whole county almost an unbroken wilderness. The screech of the owl and the bowl of the wolf was our music by night, and the Indians our callers by day. The first night wo made our bed on some split pieces of basswood in one corner of the shanty, built a fire in another, hung up a blanket for a door and some oa tho walls around the bed, and it seemed quite like home,

and we had a good night's rest. I soon made a pele bedstead, bewed out and put down a puncheon floor, built a stene back and stick chim- ney in one corner, made a clay hearth, and the shanty was finished, without a nail except what were in the door. We lived in that shanty nearly two years,-yes, the happiest two years of my life were spent in that shanty. There was something grand and romantic about it I very much enjoyed. The grand old forest yielded up for our support of its wild fruita, its honey, and venison.

" It was in this shanty that our first child was born,# March 20, 1839, cradled and rocked in a sap trough; and she is now the widow of Dr. Derby, of Eaton Rapids. It was in the fall of 1839 that said shanty was swapped for a new log house ; said house was built about fifty rods east of said shanty, and my hogs slept west of the shanty, next to the woods. The second night after we had moved into our new house, at about twelve o'clock, my wife waked me up and said she heard a hog squeal. I got up, took my gun and ran over to where the hogs slept, and a bear had caught the old sow and was nbeut killing her ; when I came near enough so I thought I could hit him, I fired at him. He let go of the hog and ran into the woods. It being quite dark I could not tell whether I had hit him or not, but went out the next morning and found the hear dead and the hog alive, but very badly bitten ; but she got over it. One more bear story,-this was in the fall of 1841 : I had built a large hog-pen about eighty rods from the house, and made a lane west from said hog-pen to the woods, it being about fifty rods, and my cattle lay in said lane, near the hog- pen. Not far from the middle of the night I heard a hog give a short aqueal, and then the bells commenced to rattle that were en the cattle. I got up and stepped to the door, and heard something running in the lane west towards the woods; and it was not more than a min- ute before I heard a hog squeal in the edge of the woods at the end of the lane. It seems the bear bad caught the hog near the hog-pen, and the cattle had driven him off; then he chased him in the lane west to the woods before he caught him again. My rifle being loaded I caught it and ran, just as I had got out of bed, to save my hog. When I reached the end of the lane I saw he had caught the hog under some tree-tops that had fallen out when I cleared. I got on to the topmost one and started out on it to see if I could not shoot him in that way, but, as I started, my dog ran under and went to harking at him; then the bear took the hog and started into the woods with him. Calling back my dog, who took his place behind me, I started after him. I ran as fast as I could in the brush and dark, and went seme twenty or twenty- five rods before I got near enough so I thought I ceuld hit him ; was within ten er twelve feet of him, and I shot at the black spot, for that was all I could see. As the gun went off he dropped the hog and ran off three or four rods, and all was still. I loaded my rifle and could hear nothing of the bear; I was so near him I knew if he stirred I could hear him, there being dry leaves on the ground. I made up my mind that I had not hit him and he was sit- ting and looking at me, or else I had killed him, so to find out I told the dog to take him. The dog went to where he was and began growl- ing and snuffing around, but I could hear nothing of the bear; so I concluded he was dead. I went to where he was, and there lay a monstrous black bear, stretched dead enough. His fore-paw, when pressed down, would cover a common breakfast-plate. When I went back I met my wife in the lane, coming with an axe. She said she was afraid I had got into trouble.

"In the spring of 1842 I built a frame barn, thirty by forty ; it was the first frame building erected in Brookfield; and in 1851 I swapped the old log house for a new framed one out on the road,- for there were roads laid out then,-and in the spring of 1863 I rented my farm and moved to Charlotte, where I have lived ever since. ..

In June, 1869, articles upon the history of Brookfield, written by J. C. Sherman, were published in the Charlotte Republican, and from them are taken the following items :

"The first settlement in Brookfield was made near the northeast cerner, in 1837, by Peter Moe, his sons, Ezra and Henry Moe, and John Boody, and it was for many years familiarly known as ' Mee- town.' In the fall of the same year Jesse Hart moved on to the farm now owned by him, in the northwest part of the town, on sec- tion 7, built a shanty of logs and shingled it with troughs dug out of

basswood logs, which served to keep out wolves, bears, and wildcats, but admitted some rain and snow and large quantities of mosquitoes. Although Mr. Ifart was not much of a singer himself, he had a great ear for music, especially vocal. Ile must, therefore, have con- sidered himself highly favored by the nightly serenade gratuitously given by the denizens of the aurrounding forest, which must have been in excellent harmony, for while the soprano and alto were ably carried by the myriad of mosquitoes, the bass and tenor must have been strongly sustained by the howling of wolves and croaking of bull-frogs. For some time the settlers of the opposite sides of the town were ignorant of the presence of the others, each supposing that they were the only families in the town. Aud this is not to be won- dered at when we take into consideration the fact that the big swamp and creek were between them, nnd no road nor bridge at all on which to cross. From the first settlement of the township, in 1837, up to the holding of the first town-meeting, in 1841, but little of interest is known to the writer. In the mean time Moetown grew in impor- tance by the addition of the following families: Nicholas Boody, John S. Moe, J. Otely, and James E. Fisher. S. S. Bly settled on section 13, and Cyrenus Kinter on the farm now owned by E. P. Stuart, in what is now called the Wilcox district. Amos Carrier settled upon the farm where he now resides, on the western bank of Narrow Lake. In the year 1839, Charles R. Sherman moved into this town and settled on the eastern bank of Battle Creek, between Moetown and Jesse Hart's. He got his goods as far as John Boody's very comfortably, as there was a very passable road from Jackson that far, 'but farther there was none.' So he got Mr. Boody and his boys to take his oxen and sled, load on a few goods, and draw them down to the swamp; then they had to unyoke the oxen, draw the sled over by hand, and drive the oxen a long way up the swamp until they could find a fording-place, wallow them through, and go down the other side to where the sled was. They were then ready to yoke up and start again on their journey, clearing a road as they went. Thus, after much labor, drawing the balance of his things across the swamp en a hand-sled and then two miles farther with the team, he finally got settled, the big swamp on one side and the creek on the other. The nearest grist-mill or store was at Eaton Rapids, and he could only get there in the winter, when the swamp was frozen over.

" Peter Williams, who came into the town in 1841, and settled on the farm he now occupies in Duttonville, claims the honor of having the first temperance raising and the first shingled roof in town, al- though it was only a log house.

" The first framed building in town was Jesse Hart's old barn, and the first frame house was built hy Alexander McArthur, which is the same now (1869) occupied by Aldro Atwood. The first school-house in town was built of logs, near the residence of Nicholas Boody and near where David Boody's harn new stands. This was for n number of years the only public building in town, and was used for town- meetings, etc.

" The first school in the township was taught in the school-house in Moetown, in the year 1841, by Miss Roxana Skinner, and the second term was taught by Sebra Piper, now the wife of Nelson Mc- Arthur.

"The first couple married in town was Benjamin B. Snyder to Sarah Moe,-Rev. Mr. Bennett, of Eaton Rapids, being the officiating clergyman. One wedding occurred while Palmer Rose was justice of the peace, which occasioned no little fun at the time, and is well re- membered by some of the first settlers. It seems that a man by the name of Wickware was cruelly wounded by one of Cupid's darts, sent from the witching eyes of one Margaret Boody. The bridegroom, being destitute of hat, coat, or boots suitable for the emergency, ap- plied to Cyrenus Kinter for the loan of a wedding-garment. But Kinter was, as we are informed, nearly as destitute as himself, and had nothing to offer him but an old pair of slipshod shoes and a di- lapidated chip hat. Wickware said he thought it was a 'd-d poor town' where a man could not borrow clothes to get married in. However, the matter was somehow arranged, and Esquire Rose was called upon to perform the ceremony. At first he declined, on ac- count of inexperience ; hut after some urging by his wife, who, like all good wives, was anxious that her husband should make his mark in the world, he very reluctantly consented, and at the appointed time was on the spot (which, by the way, was the shanty of J. Otely, on the place now owned by Benjamin Snyder, Jr.). But little prepara- tion was necessary to prepare the happy couple for their nuptials, and

# Her name was Rachel F. Ilart.

they were very soon face to face with the bashful justice. This being his first attempt at tying the conjugal knot, he found himself in quite a dilemma : for, however well he might have arranged the forin in his oWD mind, all idea of a suitable marriage ceremony had left him when the eventful time had come, and he could only turn red, then pale, stammer a little, tremble a good deal, and finally, entirely breaking down, he told the groom that be 'could not do it and he would have to get somebody else.' But the undaunted bridegroom had no no- tion of giving it up so, nor of leaving his blushing bride to go in search of another justice ; so he said that he would tell him what to say, and if he would repeat the ceremony after him it would answer just as well. This was finally accomplished, and su overjoyed was the bride at the favorable turn of events that she threw her arms around the neck of the frightened justice and gave him a good smack, 'to pay,' as she said, 'for doing it so nicely.'

" Thia brings to my mind aoother incident which occurred near the same place, which was related to me by Peter Williams. The cireum- stances were as follows : Some of the b'hoys got into a row, had a hard knock down, and one Peter Sonthard was arrested for assault and battery. The case was to he tried hefore Esquire John Boody, and on the day of trial lion. Austin Blair, who was then practicing law at Eaton Rapids, appeared as counsel for the prisoner. As soon as the case was called, Mr. Blair demanded the release of his client, on the ground of the illegality of the papers. But the 'squire, being pretty Dutch, 'couldn't see the point,' and refused to let the prisoner go. Finding at last that be could not coovince the justice of his mistake, Mr. Blair turned to the prisoner and told him he could go, that those papers would not hold him. 'Vat ish dat?' said the irate esquire. ' Yuu tell dat prisover he ean go? Py tam, Mister Blair, you let dat pris- oner go I senda a beach warrant for him and you too, so sure as Got !'

" According to the best information I have been able to get, Rachel F. Ilart, now the wife of Dr. W. Derby, of Eaton Rapids, was the first child born in the township, and Eunice E. Sherman, now Mra. C. II. Mills, of Charlotte, was the next,-at least they were the first born of American parents. An incident occurred in connection with the birth of Mrs. Mills which seems worthy of notice. Mr. Sherman and wife lived alone in a little shanty on the bank of Battle Creek. The nearest neighbors were Jesse Ifart on the west and John Boody on the east. At the time of which we speak the ercek bottoms were overflowed, so that they were utterly impassable except with a boat, and there was no way of crossing the big swamp except on foot. In the afternoon a young man came along from the east, by the name of Charles Barnham, wishing to cross the ereek and proceed on his journey towards Bellevue. Finding it impossible to cross over he applied for help to Mr. Sherman, who told him that he had a white- wood log lying on the bank of the creek, and if he would assist him to dig out a canoe he would ferry him across. This offer was gladly accepted, and to work they went. Not being able to complete their craft that night, Mr. Barnham was made welcome to the best accom- modations it was in the power of his host to supply, which kindness be was very soon ahle to repay with interest. It soon became ap- parent to Mr. and Mrs. Sherman that the assistanco of a physician and matrona would be necessary as soon as they could he procured. It seemed to them that Providence had sent this young man to their aid in this, their time of great need. At any rate, he waa 'pressed into the aervice.' Mr. Sherman, fearing to leave his wife for so long a time, sent Mr. Barnham with hia oxen and sled, telling him to leave them on this side of the awamp, go over on foot and get one of the men to come with the women and drive the oxen back, while he proceeded on foot to Eaton Rapids for Dr. Ilart. The doctor came on boracback as far as Mr. Boody's, where he left his horse and came the rest of the way on foot. The next day the canoe was finished and Mr. Barnham was paddled over, and went on his journey with a light beart, enough good solid full cluth for a pair of panta, and the bearty thanks of thoac he had so kindly assisted,-leaving them re- joieing over the ' little daughter which old Dr. Ilart had brought in his saddle-bags' to cheer them in their wilderness hume."

Four little children of John Boody (two boys and two girls), while one day hunting for lecks, in the spring of 1840, became lost in the forest. When night came they crept into a hollow sycamore-log, where they remained all the next day on account of a snow-storm. The settlers were aroused to hunt for them, and built large fires in the woods to attract

their attention. They were found near one of these on the morning of the third day, and weak from cold and hunger. They had discovered the fire the evening before, and stayed by it through the night.

Frequent incursions upon the pens and poultry-yards of the settlers were made by the wild denizens of the forest, and uneeasing vigilance alone prevented a complete loss of their stock. Wolves would even come upon the door-steps, and bears made forays upon the porcine inhabitants when- ever they eraved a taste of bacon "in the raw," and that was much oftener than the settlers liked. A large bear helped himself to one of Esek Whipple's hogs one day, and coolly walked off with him into the woods, about eighty rods away, and sat down to have a meal. Mr. Whipple followed, and a bullet from his rifle was sent home to Bruin's internal region, causing the shaggy brute to drop his prey and beat an extremely hasty retreat, Mr. Whipple trying in vain to overtake him. Ezra Moe lost all his fowls one night through the marauding of a pack of wolves, who left only their tracks and some scattered feathers to tell of their foray ; but those were doubtless sufficient, and the anger of Mr. Moe and his family is probably difficult to imagine.

J. C. Sherman, from Franklin Co., Vt., settled in Brook- field in 1854, and states that the town then contained but three or four frame houses and four log school-houses. Enos Dutton had a saw-mill on Battle Creek, at Duttonville, -the only one in town. Roads were even then few, and at some seasons almost impassable. Two log bridges had been built. The oldest and best road was the one passing through Hart's Corners, and known as the Eaton Rapids and Bellevue road. A branch from this led northward to the Foster settlement, and another southward to the Wilcox district. The only direct communication with Duttonville was by an Indian trail passing up the eastern side of Battle Creek. Jesse Hart was then the richest man in town, and offered his farm for $6000. The number of voters was less than 100, and the township did not bear an excellent repu- tation ; but its growth has been remarkable since, and its inhabitants are now thrifty and enterprising, and prosperity smiles upon them.
