SCHOOLS.

District No. 1 was organized on Climax Prairie in the fall of 1836, while the township was still a part of Com- stock. There are no records showing what territory it then embraced, by whom organized, or who were its first officers. It seems tolerably certain that Daniel Lawrence was the first director. About the first experience of the district was a fierce contention about the school-house. Judge Eldred built his new dwelling-house (the one now occupied by Dr. L. W. Lovell) in 1836, and moved into it that fall. He sold his old dwelling to the district for a school-house, moved it upon the hill about eighty rods south

of the corners, and put it in good repair, ready for use. A part of the district, led by Maj. Willard Lovell, claimed that the judge made use of his influence with his family connections to get an exorbitant price for the house, and they denounced the transaction without stint. They were in the minority, however, and the difficulty never went be- yond hard words. The first school was taught in the winter of 1836 and '37, by a man from Prairie Ronde named Hoyt. The measles stopped the school before it was half out. Emily Harris, a daughter of Rev. John Harris, and now the wife of Hon. George Willard, was the next teacher. She taught five months in the summer of 1837, and had for her patrons pretty much all the settlers within two or three miles. Among those who sent children to her school were William Eldred, William Harrison, William Jourdan, Isaac Davis, John C. Beach, and John Waterhouse, who lived at a long distance, as well as all the prairie settlers who lived nearer by. Miss Harris used to go home to her father's, in South Battle Creek, occasionally, on a Saturday afternoon, and on such occasions rode a pony belonging to Daniel Lawrence. The only road was a slight trail indicated by blazed trees. The first time Miss Harris rode home, she lost the way soon after crossing the Willow Plains, and wandered about in the woods for several hours. At last she gave the rein to the pony to go where he pleased, and in a short time he brought her to the trail at the very point where she had left it. From there she pur- sued her way safely home. On some occasions Catharine Eldred accompanied her home, both riding the same pony. The next winter George W. Lovell taught the school, and in the summer of 1838 it was taught by Helen J. West. The first record of any kind that we find relative to the district is the directors' report to the school inspectors, in September, 1838. From this report we learn that there were 38 scholars in the district, and there had been, four months' summer school. The books used were " Web- ster's Elementary Spelling Book," "English Reader," " Historical Reader," " Daboll's Arithmetic," " Kirk- ham's Grammar," and "Olney's Geography." The direc- tor was John C. Beach. Until 1843 there are no rec- ords except the directors' annual reports to the inspectors. The school was kept up, and prospered as country schools usually do. In 1851 a new brick school-house, costing nearly $500, was built on a site adjoining the old one on the south. It stood in the corner of forty acres of wood, owned by Nelson Eldred, and within a few rods of the " old fort," mentioned elsewhere. A year or two before the new house was built, some of the boys who went early to school were not a little startled to see two bears jump out of the woods by the corner of the school-yard and cross the road into a meadow opposite. The writer was one of those boys, and hastened to give the alarm at the " Corners." A crowd of people well armed were soon in pursuit of the bears, who retreated into the wood. The woods were soon surrounded, and a brisk fusillade kept up till the bears were both dispatched. Not much studying was done in school that forenoon. The bears were cut up and distributed about the neighborhood, so everybody had a piece. The school continued to grow and flourish, increasing in size and importance with the settlement of the district, till in 1868

it became necessary to build larger and better, and a com- modious brick school-house was erected on a beautiful site in the burr-oak grove nearly opposite the Baptist church. The total cost was nearly $3000. There are, in 1879, 92 scholars in the district, giving employment to 2 teachers in the respective departments. The officers for 1879 are C. B. Guchess, Moderator; H. N. Elwell, Director; O. W. Eldred, Assessor.

The following is the list of teachers as nearly as we have been able to procure them :

District No. 2 was organized very early,-probably in 1837. A school was taught by Mrs. Hannah Keyes, at her residence on section 17, in 1836, before the district was organized. We have been unable to find any record show- ing the time and place of the first meeting, or who were the first officers. The first school-house was of logs, and stood on the opposite side of the road from John Carney's house, now occupied by Simeon Roe, on section 17. The first directors' report was made in 1840, at which time the district reported 44 scholars. Fifty-eight dollars were raised that year for building a school-house. The condition of things in the district in 1841 is indicated by the following extract from the directors' answer to questions propounded by the superintendent of public instruction. He says,-

" 1st. Present laws are not well understood. 2d. Much neglect in parents visiting the school. 3d. Inspectors do not visit the school. 4th. Discipline of school not good, in consequence of some of the parents disapproving of punishment by teacher. 5th. Hours of school, 6 per day. 6th. Teacher, male; age, 24; former salary, $12 per month 7th. No religious or sectarian views taught; we do not wish the minds of our children enslaved. 8th. Log house surrounded by trees, high ground, and imperfectly finished. School kept 3 months, winter. The average amount of sickness is itch."

We are happy to say the health of the district has vastly improved since 1841. A few years after that the district built a better and more commodious school-house near the

northeast corner of section 19. In 1874 the district re- ceived a considerable addition of territory from the parti- tion of district No. 5, and soon after it became necessary to rebuild. After some difficulty it was determined to locate the site a half-mile east of the old one to better accommodate the eastern part of the district, and a new house worth $1000 was erected. It is one of the best school-houses in town. In 1879 the district reported 58 scholars. The list of teachers is very imperfect up to 1863. We glean from the school inspectors' record that certificates to teach in this district were granted to

Miss Van Wert in 1844, Lewis Holden and Mary Cooley in 1847, Pliny Williams in 1849, Hannah Russell, Eli Clinton, and Enos Lovell in 1850, Mary Jane Miller in 1851, Mrs. Margaret M. Averill and Wellington Kidder in 1852.

Since 1862 the following teachers have been employed :

1863, Silas Stiles; 1864, Hattie Buck; 1865, James Powers; 1866, Anna Warriner; 1867, Hannah Powers, James Powers; 1868, Eliza Milliman ; 1869, Almira Brown; 1870, Albert Hazelton, Lizzie Evans; 1871, E. B. Weeks, Kittie Van Middlesworth ; 1872, Warren Wells, Emogene Bowen; 1873, Henry M. Jones, Frank E. Fields, Minnie Hull; 1874, G. W. Merry, Chloe Bon- ney, A. C. Milliman ; 1875, James Powers, Emma Averill ; 1876, Henry P. Kane, Emma Averill, Maggie Warren; 1877, Nellie Addington ; 1878, Maggie Warren, Emogene Bowen ; 1879, Geo. W. Jackson, Mina L. Haas, R. J. Van Woert.

District No. 3 was organized Jan. 15, 1839, and con- sisted of sections 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9. The first meeting was held at the house of William E. Sawyer, Jan. 26, 1839, and the following officers were chosen : Wm. E. Sawyer, Moderator ; Wm. E. Bellows, Director ; Prentiss P. Bowen, Assessor. It was also " Voted to locate the school-house near the quarter post, between sections No. 4 and No. 9 in said district, on the east and west road between said sec- tions." February 1st a second meeting was held at W. E. Sawyer's, and $220 were voted for building purposes. A building committee consisting of James D. Pierce, Law- rence S. Pierce, and William E. Sawyer was appointed to attend to the building of the house, which was to be finished ready for use by the 1st of June.

The first school in the district was a private one, taught in the spring of 1838 by Mrs. Moses Hodgman, at her residence on the north side of what is now Andries Lefever's farm, on section 4. The first district school was probably taught by Nancy Whitford (ten weeks in summer of 1839, and three months in summer of 1840). At the annual meet- ing in 1841, it was " voted to move the school house now in said district, on or near the four corners, one-half mile east of where it now stands." They did not move it there, however, but instead took it a half-mile west, to the south- west corner of section 4. There are no records to show when or why this was done, but the following extract from the directors' report to the superintendent of public instruc- tion throws some light on that as well as on other subjects. He says,-

" With regard to the school system, there appears to be no particular defect. The fact is, we are all lawyers, and spend much of our time in quarreling about small matters, and let more weightier ones pass unnoticed. There is but little interest manifested by parents in the education of their children ; they choose to spend their time in quarrel- ing about the location of their school-house. Nothing short of a portable school-house will do for us. They never visit the school. The inspectors do not often visit the school ; but as they are young

men, and our school has been taught by a female of about eighteen, they are somewhat excusable. Religious instruction is not inculcated in our school. We have a frame school-house, located on a high plain, surrounded by trees ; size, 18 by 24. School kept in the sum- mer. Scholars very healthy. We have no library. No forfeitures have been received, no proceeds from fines, nor any money from in- spectors. The fact is, there is a leak in the bucket somewhere which we cannot find. Oct. 16, 1841."

In 1857 the district had worn out their first school-house, and determined to build anew, which they did, moving the site again a half-mile west. The house was a cheap one, costing less than $200, but it has served the purpose for which it was built, up to the present time.

The first directors' report gives the number of scholars in the district at 22, and the books used, "Spellers." In 1879 there are 33 scholars, and a good school is regularly sustained.

There are almost no records showing who have taught in the district, and we are only able to give a few names of those who have taught there. Among those we do find are, 1839-40, Nancy Whitford; 1843, L. C. Barker, Sarah Gates ; 1844, A. T. Jones; 1845, Geo. P. Stevens ; 1846, Harvey Bush, Ara- minta Gardner; 1847, Jane Chipman; 1848, J. Van Middles- worth, Alma P. Durkee; 1849, Emeline Van Antwerp ; 1851, Adeline Van Guilder ; 1852, Emeline Van Antwerp ; 1853, Charles Rhodes, Esther Cole ; 1854, Ann Bellows; 1855, Martha Chapin.

The later teachers we are unable to learn, except a few since 1875. Among them are Mamie Sherman, Emmett Gray, Mary Ingalls, Charley W. King, Hattie Tuttle, Hubert Elwell, Elida Towsley, George Braden.

District No. 4 was organized by the board of school inspectors, May 17, A.D. 1847, and consisted of sections 27, 28, 29, 32, 33, 34, southwest quarter of section 22, and the south half of section 21. The first meeting was held at a log house, near Aaron Souls', Wednesday, May 12, 1847, and the following officers elected : Joseph W. John- son, Moderator ; Charles Moulton, Director; Aaron Soul, Assessor. For several years the district got along with three months' school a year, taught in the little log house where the first school-meeting was held, and several times the district lost its share of the public money because they did not have enough school taught by a qualified teacher to entitle them to a share in the distribution. In 1854 they began to feel the need of more school and a better house. They accordingly leased a piece of land, 4 rods by 6, near the centre of section 28, of Alexander Harrison, and put up a new frame house. The length of the schools . were also increased to six or seven months per year. This was pre-eminently the " south woods" district, and settled up slowly for years ; but at length it wore out and outgrew its second school-house, and in 1875 began to cast about for a new one. The district was large and some of the people lived a long way from school, so the determination to build a new house brought about a fierce contention about the site. Those living in the west part of the dis- trict desired to retain the site where it was, while those in the opposite part of the district wanted the school-house at Selbee's Corners, half a mile east. Some ten or twelve spe- cial meetings were held before the matter was finally set- tled. It was at last arranged by locating the school-house at Selbee's Corners, and transferring several of the western people to the adjoining District No. 7. A handsome new

house worth $1000 was built, capable of seating 72 schol- ars. The district is rapidly growing to be one of the strongest and best in town. The school census of 1879 shows 78 scholars. From the imperfect manner in whichi the records have been kept, we cannot give anything like a full list of its teachers, hence omit them entirely.

District No. 5 was organized February 17, 1849, and comprised the southeast quarter of section 8, the south half of section 9, the southwest quarter of section 10, the west half of section 15, the whole of section 16, except the south half of the southwest quarter, the northeast quarter of sec. tion 21, and the northwest quarter of section 22. The first meeting was held at the house of Roswell B. Clark, on the third day of March, 1849, and Lawrence S. Pierce elected Moderator; Paul Geddes; Director; and Leman Stewart, Assessor. It was voted to establish the site of the school- house " on the line between lands owned by Roswell B. Clark and lands owned by James D. Pierce, at and near the quarter post, on the south side of section Number 9." It was also voted to raise $200 for the purpose of building and furnishing a school-house. In the mean time they rented a log house near the southwest corner of section 9, and had a three months' school taught that summer by Mary J. Hallock. Then came a hitch in the proceedings. The money voted was not raised for several years, and the district was without school or school-house until 1852. The house was completed in time for the annual meeting that year, at a cost of a little over $200. The first school in the new house was taught by Lydia M. Reading, for thirteen weeks, commencing Dec. 6, 1852.

The school-house was an octagonal one, and went for many years by the name of the "round school-house." The district was never a very strong one, but schools were kept up regularly until 1874, when the house was burned. At the annual meeting that year it was voted to dissolve the district, and the board of school inspectors accordingly discontinued the district and attached the territory to the adjoining districts. Among the teachers who have taught in this school, we find on record the names of

Mary J. Hallock, Lydia M. Reading, Betsey Coe, James F. King, Sarah E. Coe, Susan R. Lovell, Cepha A. Milliman, Esther Cole, Frances A. Davis, Joanna Mack, Wealthy Dewey, George M. Buck, R. G. Smith, Mary Jane Adams, Mary E. Clark, Emma Higgins, Delia Dorrance, Mary E. Bradley, Nettie Van Ness, Eliza Milliman, Maria Haskins, Amanda R. Scott, George McCargar, Ida Sullivan, Ella Proctor, Julia Eldred, Lydia Gardner, Emogene Bowen, Hattie Sandal, Alice Templeton, and Grace Illick.

After the dissolution of the district a portion of its members, not recognizing the legality of the act, built a new school-house, which they used one or two seasons for school purposes. The result was a long litigation, which did not turn out to their advantage. A subsequent appli- cation to the board of school inspectors for the re-estab- lishment of the district was not successful.

District No. 6 was organized Feb. 27, 1850, and con- sisted of sections 23, 24, 25, 26, 35, and 36. The first meeting was held at the residence of Harrison Stimpson, March 16, 1850, and Harrison Stimpson was elected Mod- erator ; Horace Eastman, Director; and Harris Palmer, Assessor. They then raised $10 to fit up a school-room. A site was secured, and a log school-house put up on the

DANIEL LAWRENCE.

MRS DAN! LAWRENCE.

DANIEL LAWRENCE.

In brief sketches, anecdotes, and reminiscences the present gene- ration may obtain a faint outline of the first settlers now fast dis- appearing from public gaze; but while perusing these written his- tories, sitting in the easy-chairs of the luxurious homes of to-day so thickly scattered over the beautiful region of Southern Michigan, a mere conception only can be formed of the stern realities of the tedious journeys into the almost unbroken wilderness ; the fears of wild beasts and Indians; chopping, logging, and burning off the timber, the anxiety of providing for a family; the heroic fortitude and patient endurance of those old pioneer fathers and mothers may be reverenced, but can never be fully appreciated.

Among the earliest in the town of Climax was Daniel Lawrence, who settled in 1884, his being the sixth family in the town. He was born in the town of Orange, Orange Co., N. Y., now in Rock- land County. The Lawrence family trace their genealogy back to three brothers, viz., Richard, John, and Jonathan Lawrence, who emigrated to America about the middle of the seventeenth century. Richard settled in New Jersey, John on Long Island, and Jonathan, who was the great-grandfather of the present Daniel, in Westchester Co., N. Y., where he took up land and followed farming. His son, who was also named Jonathan, was born on the homestead in Westchester County, where he grew to manhood, and from whence he emigrated to Orange County, where he located five hundred acres of land. He raised a family of fourteen chil- dren, ten of whom were boys, all of them noted for their large size and great strength. Five of the sons followed the sea, and became captains of vessels. One of them, John, was especially noted for his strength, of which the following incident is related : "He went from the New Jersey shore to New York in a boat, and when returning was discovered by the English in a vessel of war, and pursued by a barge manned with ten sailors. Their superiority in numbers gave them great advantage, and they soon overtook the Yankee. As they pulled up alongside, he suddenly quit rowing, and using the heavy end of his oar for a weapon, knocked part of the enemy overboard, and took the rest prisoners, sending word to the English commander that if he wanted him, he must send a fleet to capture him." Daniel, the father of the sub- ject of this sketch, was born in Orange County, Aug: 14, 1737. He was a farmer, and owned part of the old homestead. It was but twenty-five miles from New York city, and was in the country known during the Revolutionary war as " the neutral ground," which was infested by "cow-boys" and the scouting parties of both armies. He married & Miss Phebe Seaman, who was of French descent. They raised a family of ten children, three of whom were sons, the present Daniel being the youngest of the

family. Daniel, Sr., was in the army, and was probably a captain, as he bore that title until his death, which occurred Nov. 19, 1821. His residence was but a short distance from the block-house at one time occupied by Gen. Washington, who was a frequent visitor and a warm friend of the family. He and his uncle were taken prisoners', while home on a furlough, by the " cow-boys," who were making a raid for plunder. They were taken on board a sloop and carried to New York. On their way down, their captors had a rope around their necks to hang them, but finally desisted, and they were put, on their arrival in the city, in the old Provost jail, where they remained six months. While in jail, Mr. Lawrence was visited by his wife, who obtained a pass through the lines through the kind- ness of Aaron Burr, who was a friend of the family. After the close of the war he returned to his farm, where he remained until 1797, when he sold and moved into Ulster County, where he bought a farm above the highlands of the Hudson River, and where he lived until his death. Daniel, jr., remained on the farm of his father until after his marriage, in 1828, when he embarked in life for him- self. He bought a farm in Ulster County, but not liking the situation sold it, and in the fall of 1834 came to Michigan, reach- ing Detroit by water, where he found teams, sent by Judge Eldred, awaiting him. He came to Climax, and for two years rented a farm on the Prairie. He then moved upon the farm he now owns, which he bought in the spring of 1835. It was all new; not an acre had been plowed nor a rail split on the three lots he bought, and for which he paid five hundred dollars. This farm he has improved, and erected good buildings; and he is now passing the evening of life respected and honored by all who know him. Mr. Lawrence was formerly a Democrat, but early joined the Re- publican party, to which he still belongs. He was one of the first town treasurers. Mr. Lawrence was married July 17, 1828, to Miss Amy Eldred, daughter of Judge Eldred and Phebe (Brownell) Eldred. She was born Feb. 25, 1804, in Laurens, Otsego Co., N.Y. There have been born to them the following children : Blackman E., born April 16, 1829; Caleb V., born Sept. 23, 1832; Mary, born May 12, 1884; Thomas S., born March 17, 1836; George W., born Jan. 28, 1889; and John H., born July 27, 1841, died in infancy.
