Patrick Bunbury located 40 acres on section 25 in 1834, and, soon after, 80 acres on section 26. He was one of the most successful farmers, and by skill and industry cleared one of the largest farms in the township.

In 1835, Alexander Glen entered 160 acres, and soon after disposed of it. Two years later he purchased 60 acres on section 16, and built a log house upon it. He then re- moved his family from Chautauqua Co., N. Y., and still resides with them upon the farm. Mr. Glen recalls no hardships during his early experience which caused him to regret his adoption of Michigan as a home.

Ichabod Hart early made a purchase of land in the township, but did not become a permanent resident until 1838, when he entered on section 16 a farm which his son George now occupies.

Asa Norton was also an early pioneer and a very early landlord. Whether the claim put forth by some of his friends that he exercised an earlier hospitality than Matthew R. Teft as tavern-keeper be a valid one is a question, but there is no room for question that there were few more ex- cellent landlords in those early days. His tavern was

located in the north part of the township, but he early occupied 40 acres on section 28, now owned by Alpheus Rood.

Nathan Lyman located 40 acres on section 28 in 1834, and 40 acres on section 29 in the same year.

William Lyman, his father, entered the following year 52 acres on section 15. On this farm was the famous Indian settlement, near the springs known as the Lyman Springs. Nathan Allen, the son-in-law of Mr. Lyman, also located 40 acres on section 29 in 1835.

James Elsie and James Goodwin also came in the same year, the former locating on section 24, and the latter on land embraced in sections 21 and 22. They both began the improvement of their land after erecting shanties in which to place their families. These shanties had shed roofs, and were constructed of small logs, with a stick chimney on the outside The roof was covered with shakes or boards, while the floor consisted of split planks.

Jason Parmalee, who was not only a very early settler, but one of the first highway commissioners who aided in the survey of the first roads in the township, entered 80 acres on section 22, and an additional 80 on section 26. He made immediate improvements upon his land, and ulti- mately cleared a fine farm.

Truman Averill emigrated to the township in 1835, and entered 40 acres on section 11, while Milton Gregory, who came the same year, chose a farm on section 18. Both were prominent in advancing the interests of the township at that early day.

Theron Norton located 160 acres on section 5 in 1835, and soon converted the timbered lands into fertile fields.

Among the names of other pioneers equally worthy of mention are Freeman Chandler, A. V. Monroe, Jonathan Travis, Henry Skinner, Samuel Boyd, Ellery Hicks, Elias Easton, Van Rensselaer Hicks, and Henry Babcock. These are the men whose sturdy hands cleared the forest, broke the soil, and bore the burden and heat of the day. But few remain to tell the story of their early battles with privation and want. Some of them removed later to adja- cent portions of the State, while others sleep beneath the soil of their adopted home.

Among the later settlers in the township was John Walker, who came to the State in 1836, and to Cooper in 1840. He was at one time employed by an Eastern com- pany as a trader in furs among the Indians, but finally lo- cated upon section 8, where he purchased 160 acres. He began the improvement of this land, and by industry con- verted it into one of the most attractive homes in the township.

Mr. Walker was a man of much force of character, and his administrative ability was early recognized by his towns- men, who chose him to fill various offices in their gift. He was for many years supervisor of Cooper, and for three successive terms representative in the State Legislature. After a life of great usefulness, Mr. Walker died, in 1878, leaving many sincere mourners.

Isaac N. Tyler purchased 40 acres on section 28 in 1843. He erected a shanty and lived a bachelor life for a brief time, after which he built a more comfortable log house and married. His land on arriving he found uncleared,

but by hard labor he soon changed the forest to fields of growing grain. He still occupies the land he purchased.

William H. Leeper bought, in 1844, a farm of 80 acres on section 28, adjoining Mr. Tyler, upon which he still resides.

The first religious service in the township was held at the log house of Dr. C. P. Deming, the earliest preacher being Rev. William Daubeny, a Methodist clergyman, who per- formed his ministerial duties without compensation, and whose memory is still cherished by the survivors of that early day.

Rev. Mr. Williams, of Indiana, in 1836, was riding through the township, and, seeing Thomas Chamberlain at work upon his farm, stopped and asked him whether they would like some good Methodist preaching in the neighbor- hood. Upon receiving a reply that any preaching that was good would answer, he occasionally held service for several months, and organized the first religious society west of the river.

The clearing of the land and the upturning of the soil necessarily superinduced many cases of fever, most of them being of a bilious character. On such occasions the wants of the sufferers were ministered to by Dr. Coats, of Otsego, the earliest physician who practiced in the township.

The earliest birth in the township occurred in 1834. The child was christened John, soon after his advent, which oc- curred Sept. 25, 1834, and was the son of C. P. Deming.

The first marriage is connected with some ludicrous circumstances. Mr. George Nichols and Miss Charlotte Crane, having determined to unite their fortunes, applied to the magistrate. While exceedingly desirous to further the wish of the parties, some obstacles presented themselves, chief among which was the want of a suitable garb where- with to appear and maintain his judicial dignity. In the emergency the happy pair stepped across the county line, and were united in Allegan by a justice who met them in the adjoining woods.

An effort was made in 1840 by Laton Collar (or Collier) to erect a saw-mill on what is now known as Collar Brook. This little stream enters the Kalamazoo River near the centre of the township.

The need of a mill nearer than the village of Kalamazoo induced many of the inhabitants to extend substantial aid to the enterprise. They readily acceded to Mr. Collar's proposition to assist in the construction of the dam, the cutting of the timber, and such other manual labor as was necessary, while he furnished the money. All the interested parties worked with a will, while each was to keep an exact account of the time and labor he bestowed upon the work, which was to be repaid later in sawing done at the mill. When the undertaking had progressed to some extent, Mr. Collar took as partner in the enterprise a Mr. Hunt, a mill- wright, and such advancement was made that the building was nearly completed when a rumor gained credence that Collar was about disposing of his interest to Hunt. His creditors, for the purpose of securing themselves, imme- diately began legal proceedings. Such personal effects as could be levied upon were sold, and, as a result, the further prosecution of the work was abandoned. The half-filled and moss-covered trench, intended for a raceway, and a few

decayed timbers are the only reminiscences of the earliest efforts of the pioneers of Cooper to construct a saw-mill.

The following incident was related to the writer by one of the oldest residents :

"Mrs. C- had come from Western New York to Cooper with the impression that Michigan was a very snaky country. She seldom stepped out during the warm season without expecting to meet a massasauga or a still more dreaded blue-racer. She had been to a neighbor's one summer afternoon, and was returning as evening ap- proached,

"'Thinking, no doubt, of that old snake That caused the fall of man, And serpents still more vast That crawl in Michigan,'

when suddenly a huge serpent appeared in the path before her. A glance at its color was to her a sufficient index of its character. It was blue : of course it was a racer. Most ladies, under such circum- stances, would have screamed and made a hasty retreat. She did neither. For a moment she was undecided ; but her inherent enmity to snakes and the injunction to bruise the serpent's head soon over- came her fears, and from preparations hastily made it was evident that a fight or foot-race was impending. Providing a good supply of stones, she advanced boldly to the charge, resolved to come to close quarters and make short work of it. The first stone had good effect, for the snake was rendered incapable of either fighting or running. She did not wait, however, for her treacherous enemy to recover from the effect of the first stunning blow ; but stone followed stone in quick succession till the luckless ophidian was nearly covered with rubbish. Then, adroitly executing a flank movement, she gained the rear of her now vanquished enemy and hastened homeward. On preparing to retire she missed a small article of female gear which she thought might have been dropped in the path over which she had been so re- cently walking. She therefore, on the following morning, retraced her steps to the scene of the previous evening's encounter, and there, under the stones she had so spitefully thrown, was one of her own blue garters. It had modestly slipped from her stocking the previous after- noon, had been seen by her in the path on her return, and believing it to be a blue-racer, she had treated it accordingly. It may be added that this kind of blue-racer is nearly extinct in Cooper."

EARLY ROADS.

The earliest surveyed road was known as Allen's road, which began "at the quarter-stake on the section-line run- ning east and west between sections 20 and 29, in township 1 south, range 11 west; thence south on the quarter-line running through said section 29, forty chains, to the centre of said section 29.

" Variation of magnetic needle, 5° 10' east."

The road was surveyed April 29, 1837, by L. H. Trask, and taken up May 28, 1859. The highway commissioners at the time of the survey were Ephraim Case and Jason Parmalee.

The second road was known as Allen Smith's road, " be- ginning at the southeast corner of section 29, in township 1 south, range 11 west; thence east on section-line one hun- dred and thirty-five chains, to the west bank of the Kala- mazoo River.

" Variation of magnetic needle, 5° east."

It was surveyed April 29, 1837, by L. H. Trask, and approved by Ephraim Case and Jason Parmalee, highway commissioners.

A road called the School road was next surveyed, “ be- ginning at the southeast corner of section 21, in township 1 south, range 11 west ; thence north on section-line between sections 21 and 22, also between sections 15 and 16, one hundred and sixty chains to the northeast corner of section 16; thence west on section-line between sections 16 and 9, eighty chains, to the northwest corner of section 16.

" Variation of magnetic needle, 5° 20' east."

This road was surveyed April 29, 1837, by L. H. Trask.

A road was surveyed by Pierce Barber, Oct. 5, 1837, known as the Perkins road, running north on section-line be- tween sections 8 and 9 and 4 and 5 ; and the following day a survey was made by Pierce Barber for a road known as the Boyd road, running north through the centre of the town- ship. An alteration was made in the latter road in 1841. Later roads were surveyed in various portions of the town- ship as convenience required.

Railroads .- The Grand Rapids and Indiana Railroad traverses the township in a course nearly parallel with the Kalamazoo River on its western side. The Lake Shore and Michigan Southern Railroad follows the course of the river on its eastern side. Each road has a flag-station, called Cooper, on the southern line of section 15, east of Cooper Centre.

VILLAGES AND HAMLETS.

The township of Cooper does not boast a village organiza- tion within its limits. The four corners of sections 16, 17, 20, and 21 unite to form the little hamlet of Cooper Centre, which had its origin on land entered by Barney Earl on section 17, together with additional land on section 16, in 1835.

The first building was erected by Rev. Mr. Brakeman, who purchased 80 acres on section 20. John Borden also entered 80 acres on section 21, and improved it. The first store was erected by Barney Earl, on the site of the present store and post-office. A Mr. Briggs soon after leased it with a view to establishing a match-factory, but was not successful in his enterprise. In 1853 it was occupied by E. S. Weeks, who placed a small stock of goods in it, and was also appointed postmaster. In 1855, Orrin Woodard erected a building and opened a store, but soon after dis- posed of his stock to Clark Adams, who sold again to Levi Smith. Ellery Hicks was the pioneer host of the hamlet, having opened a hotel, in 1852, opposite the store of Mr. Weeks. Aside from the fact that it is the location of the township post-office and the site of its two churches, the place assumes no importance. It has a store and post- office, R. L. Crowder being both proprietor and postmaster, a blacksmith-shop kept by Edward Marshall, a wagon- shop owned by Mr. Wickwire, two churches, and a Masonic hall. Cooper Centre is located one mile west of the centre of the township, and is about one and a half miles from the railroad depots.

CHURCHES.

Congregational .- The Congregational Church was orga- nized March 8, 1843, by Revs. Mason Knappen and O. P. Hoyt, with the following names upon its early membership list : John Borden, Betsey Borden, Mase S. Borden, Nancy Borden, John A. Borden, Matilda Delano, Fidelia H. Pratt, William Lyman, Susan Lyman, Eliza Earl, Lydia Hart, Laura Blanchard, David E. Deming, A. V. Monroe, and Phoebe Monroe, William Lyman having been the first deacon. The following are the pastors, with the date of their settlement over the parish :

1843, Rev. Mason Knappen ; 1847, Rev. Freeman Fuller; 1850, Rev. B. F. Monroe ; 1856, Rev. Preston Taylor; 1858, Rev. Lucian H. Jones; 1860, Rev. T. C. Hill; 1861, Rev. Rufus Apthorp; 1863,

Rev. L. E. Sykes ; 1866, Rev. William M. Campbell; 1868, Rev. John Scotford ; 1870, Rev. George A. Pollard ; 1872, Rev. James Armstrong ; 1875, Rev. J. Crane; 1877, Rev. J. H. Williams.

The present membership numbers 120. There is also a flourishing Sabbath-school connected with the church, with a large corps of teachers and 160 scholars. The present edifice was erected in 1856.

Methodist Episcopal .- In 1835 the Rev. S. S. Williams was appointed by the Indiana Conference to the Kalamazoo Circuit, and preached the first sermon in Cooper under this appointment in February, 1836. In May of the same year he organized the first society of the Methodist Episcopal Church at the house of Joseph Skinner, consisting of Allen Smith, his wife, sister, and Mrs. Gregory.

The first quarterly meeting in the township was held in the barn of Joseph Skinner, in the summer of 1838, Rev. J. Ercanbrack presiding. The attendance numbered 500 the following Sabbath, and a very generous hospitality was exercised by the neighbors for miles around.

A log school-house was built in the fall, which was occu- pied as a place of worship until a more commodious one was built by the district. The society continued to occupy the school-house until 1869, when they dedicated an attractive house of worship 34 by 50 feet in dimensions. It is neatly frescoed and furnished with a bell and other appointments, the whole costing about $4500. The parsonage, which is located near the church, was purchased at a cost of $2000.

The following is a list of the pastors, consecutively, in so far as can be recollected by the present incumbent :

Revs. S. S. Williams, F. Sage, - King, - Bush, - - Brier, - - Goodale, M. B. Cambeer, E. D. Young, - Daubeny, E. H. Day, D. R. Latham, T. J. Congdon, William Cogshall, C. T. Van Antwerp, J. S. Valentine, and George W. Hoag.

There are at present 100 members connected with the society.

BURIAL-PLACES.

The cemetery in general use by the residents of the township is located nearly south of Cooper Centre, on sec- tion 16. It is neatly inclosed, ornamented with beautiful and well-shaded walks, and adorned with tablets and orna- ments that are exceptional in their taste and elegance.

MASONIC ORDER.

United Lodge, No. 149 .- This lodge began work under a dispensation from the Grand Lodge of Michigan, Oct. 15, 1863, and was granted a charter Jan. 14, 1864. The first officers were E. H. Glenn, W. M .; E. S. Wicks, S. W .; Lafayette Hart, J. W .; E. C. Adams, Treas. ; J. M. De- lano, Sect. ; L. B. Newton, S. D .; N. H. Delano, J. D. The lodge holds its meeting on Saturday evenings. It has been characterized by harmony among its membership, and enjoys an influential position among the fraternity.

The present officers are E. H. Glenn, W. M. ; E. P. De Yoe, S. W .; Lafayette Hart, J. W.

SCHOOLS.

The educational interests of Cooper were not neglected during the early days of the township history. As early as 1836 a school was organized at Cooper Centre. Its ses- sions were held in a log house of very primitive construc-

tion, and presided over by Miss Adeline Hicks, now Mrs. George Hart, who had about 20 pupils.

The township was soon after divided into school districts, whose limits were frequently subjected to alterations, until the present number of complete districts is 6, and of frac- tional districts 2. Upon these log school-houses were gen- erally erected, which were later replaced by substantial structures of brick or wood.

The present board of school directors embraces the fol- lowing names : Billings Crane, J. J. Monroe, A. W. In- gerson, John Albertson, D. E. Wilcox, L. B. Fisher, and B. M. Thomas.
