HISTORY OF INGHAM COUNTY, MICHIGAN.

named ingredients predominating. Its origin undoubtedly dates from the glacial epoch and the Champlain period, when the vast masses of iee which covered the northern half of the North American continent east of the Rocky Mountains were slowly melting away under an increasing temperature. That it belongs to the glacial or drift period is abundantly proveu by the presence of bowlders and pebbles belonging to the Laurentian and Huronian rocks of the North, and by various forms of fossils, principally corals, found in the gravel of its composition. It has probably been greatly modified by the action of the ele- ments since the retreat of the great glacier to the North, and very likely much reduced in altitude. It is a curious and interesting feature of Ingham County. Along its slopes, and on its tops, which sometimes rises from sixty to eighty feet above the general level, are grown the finest fruits of this latitude-apples, pears, peaeles, grapes, etc .- in remarkable profusion.

There are many excellent and finely-improved farms in this township, which ranks among the best in the county in productiveness.

The Jackson, Lansing and Saginaw Railway crosses the northeast portion of the township, with a station at Holt, on section 14; and the Lake Shore and Michigan South- ern touches the northwest corner on section 6.

Immense quantities of timber of various kinds, princi- pally oak, whitewood, and black-walnut, have been cut and marketed from the primeval forests of this township, and there are still large bodies remaining. Trees of seven feet diameter have been found, and the timber in its original state was generally very heavy. The labor required to clear and improve these lands has been almost inconceiv- able, and the person who rides along the excellent roads and notes the improvements of the present day can realize but faintly the trials and hardships of the pioneers who first braved the perils of the wilderness.

The township was surveyed in its exterior lines, the south boundary by John Mullet, in 1825; the east and west boundaries by Lucius Lyon, in 1825; and the sub- division lines by Musgrove Evans, in 1827.

MRS. HENRY H. NORTH.

HENRY H. NORTH.

Among the truly representative men, few if any have been more intimately associated with the material develop- ment of Delhi than Henry H. North ; he has witnessed the transition of an nnbroken forest into a fertile and highly pro- ductive region. Mr. North is of English origin, his great- grandfather, Roger North, having emigrated to America before the Revolution, and settled at or near Philadelphia. The family lived for many years on the Schuylkill, from which Joseph North, the father of the subject of this sketch, cmigrated to the then remote frontier of Tompkins Co., N. Y., and settled at Lansing, in that county, where Henry Harrison North was born Jan. 18, 1816. He was raised on a farm but worked with his father, who was a mason by trade. December 16, 1838, he married Miss Almira Buck, daughter of Daniel Buck, who was an early settler at East Lansing, Tompkins Co., N. Y. He raised a family of twelve children who lived to be men and women.

In 1837, Mr. North came to Michigan to visit his brother, who came to Ingham County in 1836. Being favorably im- pressed with the country, he returned to Tompkins County for his wife, when it was decided that the North family should emigrate to Michigan. Joseph North, the father, was a man of considerable means and had a large family. He, with his ten children, came to Ingham County, taking up a large tract of land, mostly in the town of Lansing. Henry H. North selecting the land where he now lives took possession of it early in June, 1839. While the land

was rich and fertile, it was covered with a heavy growth of timber which required years of labor and great persever- ance to remove. At the time Mr. North, Sr., settled in Lansing there were bnt one or two settlers in the township. Frederick R. Luther had built a cabin, but was not near enough to Mr. North to be called a neighbor. The North settlement was one of the most important in the early days of the county. Mr. North being a man of energy and sufficient means to live until crops could be raised, his forest home soon began to put on the appearance of civili- zation. The log honse has long since given place to a sub- stantial brick residence, which Mr. North laid up with his own hands; the broad and well-cultivated fields show no trace of the monster trees which formerly darkened the skies and offered such stern resistance to the pioneer ; the roads, which have been laid out and cut through a track- less forest since Mr. North came there, are lined with fine farms and residences.

Mr. North assisted in the organization of the town, and was its first supervisor. In school affairs he has taken an active part. He has been the father of nine children, seven of whom are now living, all having received a good education.

Politically Mr. North has been a Republican since the organization of the party. Three of his sons were in the Union army during the war of the Rebellion. Elmer D. was with Sherman on his " March to the Sea."

EARLY SETTLEMENTS.

The earliest settlement in the township is claimed by two parties,-Frederick R. Luther and John Norris. Lu- ther entered land on section 9, May 4, 1837, and Norris on the 22d of the same month on section 33. It is stated by Henry H. North that Luther settled, with his family, in January, 1838, and in the same year came in John Norris, William Wood, Joseph Wilson, and Philander Morton. The latter settled on section 23 (some accounts say in 1839), and subsequently moved away. He has since died.

George Phillips settled also on section 23 in 1839, and afterwards kept a hotel and the post-office at his place, which was at the Centre. He was a brother-in-law of A. D. Aldrich.

Alonzo Douglass settled on section 22 in 1840.

David Wait also probably came in 1838. Darius Ab- bott settled in 1843, and John L. Davis and Z. L. Holmes were early settlers. The Thorburns came later, about 1848.

The North family were early settlers in the county, their first permanent settlement being on section 32, in Lansing township.

Joshua North, the third son of Joseph E. North, Sr., one of the earliest settlers in Delhi, came to Michigan in May, 1838, at the solicitation of his oldest brother, Joseph E. North, Jr., who had exchanged land in Ingham town- ship with Hezekiah Ferguson, who had entered section 32, in Lansing township. The brothers worked clearing land on the Lansing property until the fall of the same year, (1838), when Joshua returned to the State of New York. stopping for a few weeks with an uncle who lived in Ohio. Joseph E. North, Sr., visited Michigan in October, 1838, and entered a large tract of land, he and his son, Joseph E., Jr., having altogether 1280 acres .* While Joshua was absent in New York State his father wrote him to borrow a hundred dollars and come back to Michigan, which he did in November, 1839, bringing a lumber wagon, a few tools, and some dried fruit. The goods were shipped by canal to Buffalo, and thence by the steamer " Michigan" to Detroit. This steamer was blown ashore at Buffalo in the great storm of 1844. From Detroit they shipped their goods by the Central Railway to Ypsilanti, then the terminus of the road, and from that point to Ingham County by ox-team, which Joseph E. North, Jr., brought from Lansing to meet them.

When Joseph E. North, Sr., removed with his family to Michigan, in 1839, he brought a yoke of oxen, purchased in Ohio, and a horse and buggy. At Detroit he hired four two-horse teams to transport his goods to Ingham County. Joshua met him at Mason upon his arrival there. Henry H. North, the second son, had visited Michigan in 1837, and returned to the State of New York in 1838, where, in December of that year, he married Miss Almira Buck in

Tompkins County, and in the spring of 1839 came again to Michigan with his father, and settled permanently in the township of Delhi, south of his father's farm.t IIe and Joshua married sisters. Henry has had nine children, seven of whom are still living. Several of his sons served in the Union army during the Rebellion.

Joshua returned again to New York State in the fall of 1840, and on the 23d of January, 1841, married Miss Louisa Buck, of Lansing, Tompkins Co. In May, 1841, in company with his wife's eldest brother, Levi Buck, and Monroe Packard, he returned once more to Michigan and settled permanently, in 1841, where he now resides on sec- tion 4, Delhi township. On his arrival with his wife and goods at Ann Arbor he found his father there with an ox- team and a load of wheat which he had brought to market. From thence Henry's family and goods made the trip to Lansing in the old gentleman's ox-wagon.

Judge Huntington's father and John French had accom- panied Joshua North on his second trip to Michigan, in 1839. The judge was then a little boy. French was also accompanied by his family. Both French and Huntington settled near Eaton Rapids. Mr. Huntington was a shoe- maker by trade. Daniel Buck, another brother of Mrs. North, settled in Lansing in 1847, where he is still in the furniture business.

Henry H. and Joshna North lived for a short time in the same house in the summer of 1841 until the latter could complete a log house. A part of the land now owned by Joshua was a part of the purchase of his father in 1838. The old gentleman, according to the record, por- chased land on section 33, Lansing township, in 1837 and 1838, and on section 3, Delhi township, in November, 1838. Henry H. North purchased on section 4, Delhi, in 1839 and 1841. Joshua has five children, two sons and three daughters; a son and daughter, both married, are now living in Bloomington, III.

Joseph E. North, Sr., surveyed the present road between Lansing and Mason as early as 1842; and he also built the first bridge over the Cedar River, on Cedar Street, at Lan- sing, about the same time. These transactions may have been a year or two carlier.

Joshua North tells an incident of his carly life in Michi- gan, which illustrates the wonderful development of the county from a wilderness condition in which it was found by the settlers of forty years ago. It was on the occasion of the birth of the first child in the township, a daughter of Henry H. North. The family requiring a little addi- tional help at that time, Joshua went on horseback and procured the services of a young woman living in the vicinity, and was taking her home behind him on the horse in the night, through a blind road which had been partly bushed out. He lost the path and looked for it in vain. The candle in the old-fashioned tin lantern which he car- ried threatened to become extinguished, and as a last re- sort he dismounted and made a fire in the slivered butt of a fallen trec, and leaving the young woman there searched again for the road, but not finding it concluded to make

# According to the tract-book at Mason, Joseph E. North, Sr., had also entered land on section 33 in 1837, but whether he visited the State in that year is not certain.

+ There is some discrepancy in the recollection of the members of the North family which we cannot reconcile, but the records seem to corroborate that of Henry II. North substantially .- ED.

the best of the situation and stay by the fire until daylight. It was quite cool and the young people huddled close to the fire, while jumping and frisking about in the thick woods the gray wolves made anything but pleasant music to their ears. The girl was sure they were something dan- gerous, but young North, knowing the terror they would inspire if she was fully aware of their character, insisted they were only owls, and partially quieted her fears. He knew well enough they would not attack them by their bright fire, for all wild animals have a mortal dread of this element ; and so they sat and listened and watched until the day-dawn sent the unwelcome visitors to their haunts in the depths of the forest, and then went on their way. Mr. North also relates how he and Benjamin Leek, a son of Esquire Leek, of Alaiedon, went through the woods to wit- ness the marriage at Pine Lake, in Meridian, in May, 1839, of Henry Jipson and a Miss Davidson. Esquire Leek per- formed the ceremony. The two young men went ria Oke- mos, when, in attempting to cross the Cedar River on a raft of poles and hickory bark, they were precipitated into the swift waters up to their middle, and had to walk four miles farther to the place of rendezvous.

Matthew King, another early settler, was born in Lan- arkshire, Scotland, in 1816. He came to Ameriea in 1838, and at first stopped for a short time in Long Island, where he worked for a farmer near Jamaica until he could get money enough to go farther, having exhausted all his means in getting to New York. In the same year he came to Plymouth, Wayne Co., Mich., where he remained until fall, when he went to Ann Arbor. When first landed in this country he had never seen either corn or buckwheat growing in the field, and they were great curiosities to him. He thought corn in the ear was the most beautiful grain he had ever seen.

On his departure from Plymouth he forgot his money, and, not liking to beg, went without his supper and break- fast. He found work at Ann Arbor getting out railroad ties, which he and an Englishman took a job of doing. Ilere he worked until winter, when he was attacked by another thing new to him-the Michigan agne. In Janu- ary, 1839, he hired to a Mr. Virgil Booth, at Lodi, Wash- tenaw Co., where he remained a little more than two years, when he was again taken sick. In 1841 he visited relations living in Canada, and remained nearly a year. In the spring of 1842 he came to the township of' Delhi. Ile had pur- chased the southeast quarter of section 14, in December, 1840, at the Ionia land-office, previous to his visit to Canada. The winter of 1842-43 he passed, in company with his brother James,-who afterwards went to Minnesota and was killed on a steamer about 1855,-in a cavern which he dug in the side of the " hog-back," near where the depot at Holt Station now is. He built a chimney to it and made it quite comfortable. In the fall of 1843, Mr. King ereeted a log dwelling near where his present residence stands. Ile was then a single man, and Wm. Cook, also a Scotchman, who had married his sister, lived in his house about a year and he boarded with them.

Ile married Flora Hudson, a daughter of John Hudson, of New York, in 1846.

Ile built several additions to this log house, and about

1865 erected his present substantial and commodious resi- denee. It is constructed of lime and sand, or gravel, the latter of. which is plentiful in the ridge spoken of, on the top of which the dwelling stands. The ridge was formerly very narrow on the top and very precipitous; but Mr. King plowed and leveled it down some twelve or fifteen feet, and made a plateau on which to build his house. He did all the work on his dwelling with his own hands, except the carpenter-work. There is a similar dwelling in the west part of the township, built by a man named Treat.

Around his house on all sides Mr. King has covered the ridge with a variety of shade and ornamental trees, inclu- ding maple, cedar, pine, loenst, etc., and has also a splendid apple orchard on the slope east of his house, and a fine col- lection of pear- and peach-trees, and a long arbor, covered the present season with luscious grapes. His fruit is so abundant that it is worth very little except for his own family use. Ile has also a large barn built in the slope of the hill-side, and altogether a most comfortable and pictur- esque group of buildings and improvements.

The ridge, or " hog-baek," in question is a remarkable locality for the production of fruit. Wherever orchards and vineyards have been planted on its top or sloping escarp- ments the yield of fruit is something wonderful, and the same bountiful crops of apples, pears, peaches, grapes, ete., described on the premises of Mr. King, may be seen in equal perfection on the farm of John Thorburn, Esq., farther south, and in many other localities along its course through the township and county.

Caleb Thompson, born in Schoharie Co., N. Y., settled in Lenawee Co , Mich., in 1836. He entered the east half of the northwest quarter of section 22, Sept. 12, 1839, and settled on it in 1842. Smith Thompson, his brother, was in the township for a few years at a later date. Mr. Thomp- son has been a prominent citizen of the township for many years.

Darius Abbott settled in the spring of 1843 on the west half of the northwest quarter of section 22, adjoining Mr. Thompson.

William B. Watson, from Chenango Co., N. Y., pur- chased on seetion 13 in Delhi, and located there in 1845. He changed to his present location on section 23 in 1865. In 1847 he married a daughter of P. W. Welch.

Price W. Welch also settled on seetion 13 in the same year with Mr. Watson, and brought his family in 1846. Ile died at the Corners in May, 1862, after having been for many years a prominent and respected citizen.

As an interesting reminiscence of early days in Delhi, it may be stated that on the night of the 3d of May, 1837, Henry A. Hawley, now a resident of Vevay township, who, with his brother Calvin, was hunting land, slept on the west slope of the " hog-back," a few rods south of where the road running east from Delhi Corners ents through the ridge. The night was so cold that ice formed as thick as window-glass. There were no inhabitants then in the township.

Harvey Lamoreaux, one of the carly settlers, is of French extraction, and was born in Albany, N. Y., in 1819. He removed to Lenawee Co., Mich., in 1835, and from thence to his present location on section 10, Delhi township, in

DELHI.

November, 1845. He had purchased his land in 1844, and did some chopping upon it the same year, but did not move his family until 1845. His land was heavily tim- bered when he first settled, but he has cleared it off, and now has an excellent farm with good buildings and other improvements.

Among the first ministers who visited and preached in the township was Rev. Mr. Bennett, of the Methodist Church.

The following is a list of the resident taxpayers in the township of Delhi in 1844 :

Roswell Everett, Russell P. Everett, Z. L. Ilolmes, Ransom Everett, J. B. Luther, F. R. Luther, John Chapman, Dexter Phillips, Perry Rooker, Joshua North, Heury H. North, John North, Seth North, David Wait, Othniel Roberts, Henry Grovenhurgh, Je- rome Grovenburgh, B. F. Grovenburgh, John McKeogh, Thomas J. Brown, Platt Case, D. H. Stanton, Ansel Priest, J. R.

D. Morton, Iliram Tobias, Lewis Burch, Darius Ah- bolt, Caleb Thompson, Alexander Morton, Alonzo Douglass, Samuel Dunn, John Dunn, John Norris, Joseph Wilson, Chester Hawley.

The records of the Pioneer Society of Ingham County furnish the following facts :

Roswell Everett, from Monroe Co., N. Y., settled at Plymouth, Wayne Co., Mich., in May, 1834, and in Feb- ruary, 1841, moved to Delhi, Ingham Co., with his family. He and his wife are both now deceased. William E. Everett, who furnished these items to the society, was but a year old when his parents came to Michigan.
