In general: The first houses were log shanties, without doors or windows. Wolves were plentiful and frequently came up to the cabins. Deer and wild turkey abonnded in the woods, so that there was no lack of wild meat. There was also a great plenty of fish in the lakes and streams. The most beautiful wild-flowers covered the ground, making the woods delightful. The Indians were numerous and very disagreeable sometimes. Bread was very scarce the first year of the settlement, and the first grist that was taken to mill was cut with the shears and threshed with a rolling- pin by Mrs. John C. Cruet, and taken to Brooklyn to be ground. Although the pioneers endured hardships, they had many pleasures, visiting each other frequently, especially in the winter.

The schools are well directed, the religious organizations replete with zeal. and the industrial establishments, though few, are con- ducted on first-class business principles. No railroad runs through Liberty township.
