HISTORY OF LIVINGSTON COUNTY; MICHIGAN.

Miss Sarah Ellen Case taught an infant school for a short time, in a room in the first story of the Appleton Block. John D. McLawlin taught several terms of select school, first in a room in the dwelling of James B. Lee, afterwards in " Weichers' store," also in the second story of John Duane's grocery, and in the Appleton Block. He was re- cently tutor in a commercial college in Detroit.

Rev. Christian Warth taught a private German school in the dwelling of John E. Weichers, in the year 1864. Rev. Carl Schmalz, in the fall of 1875, kept open for one term, a German school, in the brick building on the west side, formerly used by Charles Schmidt as a bakery. Miss Paulina Ragoetzky also taught a German school, from July, 1878, to February, 1879. She has recently (July, 1879) opened her school for another term.

For the above comprehensive view of the schools of Brighton the historian is indebted to Miss Kate C. Albright.

A dispensation was granted Feb. 3, 1858, to the following officers : Adolph Buch, W. M. ; John A. Meyer, S. W .; Egbert F. Albright, J. W. The first regular communication was held March 2, 1868, and a charter obtained bearing date Jan. 15, 1869, the officers being the same as under the dis- pensation.

THE BRIGHTON CITIZEN

was established in September, 1871, and was first published under the name of the Brighton Bulletin by A. G. Blood, and printed in the office of the Howell Independent. The same year it was pur- chased by George W. Axtell, then of Howell, who at the same time secured a complete outfit for a printing-office and removed to Brighton, where he issued the paper until Nov. 18, 1877. Its title was by him changed to the Citizen, the first number of which appeared Jan. 2, 1872. The task of publishing successfully a weekly paper in Brighton was a difficult one, and with its slender income the proprietor found its revenues hardly sufficient to meet the daily wants of his family ; but with perseverance came success, and the Citizen soon became an established and profitable fact. Its circulation rapidly increased, and its columns, filled with advertisements of the business men of the county, were evidence of the hold it had obtained upon the popular regard. It had at first been issued as a seven-column folio, but its publisher soon found it necessary to change it to a five-column quarto. In November, 1877, W. H. Bowman, of Howell, and J. D. Ellenwood, of Brighton, purchased the Citizen of G. W. Axtell, and continue to publish it under the firm-name of Bowman & Ellinwood. The circulation has con- siderably increased since their management of its columns, and it now ranks among the leading papers of the county. Connected with the office is a job-printing department, where the various styles of work are executed with a promptness that has given universal satisfaction and won for the office much patronage.

BRIGHTON GUN CLUB.

The country which surrounds Brighton presents a most attractive aspect to a lover of sport with the gun and fishing-rod, the numerous beautiful lakes abounding in various kinds of fish, while their banks, together with the adjoining woods, are frequented by woodcock, wild duck, partridges, etc. With a view to enjoying these sports in their season, and at the same time establishing such rules as would lead to the preservation of game and the prevention of indiscriminate shooting out of season, a number of the residents of Brighton have organized the Brighton Gun Club. It has an elaborately drawn constitution and by-laws, which each member is required to sign, while at the same time he pays a nominal entrance fee.

VILLAGE OF BRIGHTON.

Its membership is divided into three classes,- active, life, and honorary,-no individual being eligible to the latter distinction who is a resident of the county. Its first meeting was held Aug. 15, 1877, at which the following officers were elected : G. J. Baetcke, President ; F. T. Hyne, Vice-President ; R. E. Baetcke, Secretary ; Charles Cushing, Treasurer; Luther Frink, Prosecutor ; and Henry Soule, O. W. Babcox, Henry Rohn, George W. Thomson, Directors.

As affording an opportunity for practice, the club have made special arrangements for glass- ball shooting, the adjoining fair-grounds affording a fine opportunity for this diversion. The club has a membership of 31.

THE BRIGHTON FIRE DEPARTMENT.

In February, 1876, a committee of nine were appointed by the Common Council of the village, pursuant to a public call at the office of S. H. Conely & Co., for the purpose of organizing a hook- and-ladder company, to be called the "Brighton Hook-and-Ladder Company, Number 1," for the protection of the village against fire.

George G. Smith was chosen chairman, and S. H. Conely secretary of this committee. A sub- committee was appointed to draft a constitution and by-laws, consisting of W. W. Lewis, R. J. Lyons, Jr., and S. H. Conely. The following gen- tlemen enrolled their names as the first members of the company: George Carpenter, William Mann, A. Giles, W. W. Lewis, S. H. Conely, George G. Smith, C. Dewitt, Gib Abrams, R. J. Lyons, George Ratz, Ira Thomson, H. Soule, August Schmidt, A. A. Reed, G. W. Sweet, James Van Loon, Robert Jolly, C. A. Birge, William Sutherland.

The first officers were chosen by ballot, as fol- lows: Samuel H. Conely, Foreman; W. W. Lewis, Assistant Foreman ; R. J. Lyons, Secretary ; Clin- ton De Witt, Treasurer.

The matter of purchasing a hook-and-ladder truck and other appointments incidental to a com- plete equipment of the fire company having come before the Council, after much discussion it was decided to purchase one of Babcock's hook-and- ladder trucks, with four complete ladders and eight patent fire extinguishers,-four on either side,- the cost of which was $900. James Thomson was elected keeper of the chemicals. A uniform was adopted, consisting of a black silk cap, red shirt, and patent-leather belt, and on the 4th of July of the year of organization the company made its first public parade in its new uniform. Many compli- ments were bestowed upon their fine appearance, and to the ladies they were especially indebted for floral offerings and other decorations.

For the year 1877, Samuel H. Conely was elected Foreman ; Clinton De Witt, Assistant Foreman ; F. J. Lown, Secretary and Treasurer; and Henry Soule, Keeper of Chemicals.

For the year 1878, Henry Soule was chosen as Foreman; Eugene Slayton, Assistant Foreman ; T. F. Lown, Secretary ; C. E. Cushing, Treasurer ; G. W. Thomson, Keeper of Chemicals.

The present officers are Henry Soule, Foreman ; Eugene Slayton, Assistant Foreman; Thomas F. Lown, Secretary ; Charles E. Cushing, Treasurer; George W. Thomson, Keeper of Chemicals; and O. A. Birge, his assistant.

The following names comprise the department as it at present exists : Henry Soule, Luther Frink, Thomas F. Lown, Ira Thomson, Charles E. Cush- ing, Eugene Slayton, Peter Fay, William W. Pentlin, John Hutchings, William Stanfield, Thomas Wil- liams, Henry Rohn.

BRIGHTON CORNET BAND.

The association which embraces this band was formed Jan. 1, 1875, the gentlemen who comprised it being S. Davis, R. J. Lyons, Charles Withey, S. J. King, R. M. Fillmore, G. W. Thomson, and George Wagner. It was deemed best to raise as far as possible, by subscription from the towns- people, a portion of the funds necessary to pur- chase instruments. This was done, and $112 very willingly subscribed, after which the instruments were secured, and an addition to the membership occurred. With their advent, the band was re- garded as fully organized, embracing the following names : George Wagner, S. J. King, William Big- ham, George W. Thomson, C. Kuhner, William Sturburg, C. A. Withey, R. J. Lyons, J. D. Ellen- wood, and John Donley. George Wagner was chosen as leader, and the services of John Kinsman, of Milford, were obtained as instructor, under whom the band made rapid progress.

Their first public appearance was made on the following Independence Day, and a festival for their benefit was given in the evening, which re- sulted in an addition of $50 to their treasury, and materially aided them in the purchase of a band- wagon, which became, with the frequent calls from abroad, a necessity. . In August of the same year, George Wagner resigned, and J. D. Ellenwood was elected to the position of leader. At the expira- tion of four months the members concluded to dis- pense with the further services of an instructor, and depend upon their leader and regular practice to attain proficiency.

Their services were in much demand during the summer of 1876, and funds were secured which enabled the band to pay all its indebtedness.

HISTORY OF LIVINGSTON COUNTY, MICHIGAN.

Early in the fall of the same year an effort was made by several residents of the village to organize another band, and for a time with so much success that James Savage, of Detroit, was secured as in- structor, a set of instruments were obtained, and considerable progress was made by the members. It soon became apparent, however, that Brighton was not a village of sufficient compass to sustain two musical organizations, and with the expiring year ended the existence of the new band.

In the early part of the year 1876, Mr. Ellen- wood resigned the position of leader and his membership, and C. H. Coe became his successor. In the spring of 1878 a complete uniform was pur- chased, which enabled the organization to present themselves fully equipped on public occasions.

The Brighton Band, after having passed through many vicissitudes, is still a perfect organization, and at the present time has a reputation commen- surate with the perseverance and skill of its men- bership. Its present organization is Walter Acker, Edgar Weichers, S. J. King, H. A. Coe, R. J. Lyons, E. F. Albright, Herman Loehne, Nelson C. Thomas, and Charles H. Cobb.

Herman Loehne acts as leader, but during his temporary absence J. D. Ellenwood fills the posi- tion.

THE BRIGHTON MILLS,

known for a brief time after their erection as the Ore Creek Mills, are at present owned by Albright & Thomson. They were built and owned by Or- son Quackenbush in 1840, and sold in December of that year to William A. Clark. In 1845, Mr. Clark resold the mill to its original owner, who remained its proprietor until 1847, when it was sold to Evert Woodruff. Two years later Lyman Judson purchased it. The mills had been run pre- viously by a breast water-wheel of a fashion long since rendered obsolete, but with Mr. Judson's ad- vent as proprietor, a French turbine wheel was in- troduced in 1852, and the mills enlarged, the north wing having been added. In 1856 the present proprietors took possession, and have owned them since that time. They are almost exclusively de- voted to custom work, and two run of stones are employed. The mills are located at a central point in the village of Brighton, and are largely patronized by the surrounding community. Under the proprietorship the old turbine wheel has been replaced by three others of improved style, and considerable addition has been made to the ca- pacity of the mills.

C. T. HYNE & SON.

This firm, which is composed of Charles T. Hyne, and his son, Frederick T., are buyers and shippers

of grain and farm produce, and dealers in lime, plaster, coal, etc. They ship about 150,000 bushels of wheat annually, which is loaded by an elevator connected with their storehouse, run by horse- power, which enables them to transfer the grain direct to the cars without intermediate handling. It is shipped by the Detroit, Lansing and North- ern Railroad, whose track runs directly past their establishment, and finds its way to Detroit, and from thence to the Eastern market. They are also large buyers of wool, and may be regarded as among the important business enterprises of Brighton.

CONELY & SMITH'S STEAM PLANING-MILL.

This firm confines its business principally to the manufacture of mouldings, flooring, siding, ceiling, and are also dealers in lath and shingles. The timber, which is procured in Montcalm County by rail, is received in the rough state, after sawing, and by them dressed and converted into more finished material.

They employ a steam-engine of twelve horse- power, and find a ready home market for all their product, though a limited quantity is shipped by rail to adjoining towns. This firm are also dealers in agricultural implements, and the various appli- ances connected with them.

B. H. LAWSON & COMPANY'S BANK

was organized in April, 1871, under the name of B. H. Lawson's Bank. In June, 1873, it was reor- ganized under the style of B. H. Lawson & Com- pany's Bank. It has most of the patronage of the village and the surrounding country.

THE GLOBE IRON-WORKS

enjoys the distinction of being the first foundry within the limits of the county. Mr. David Thom- son became a citizen of Brighton in 1843, and early sought an opportunity to engage in the mechanical pursuits he had followed in his native land. He obtained the lease of a building whose location was accessible, and converted it into a foundry, which he soon after purchased, having taken into business with him a partner, the firm being known as Thomson & Spencer.

Finding the increasing trade required more spacious quarters, he built, in 1856, the substantial brick foundry corner of Grand River and Fitch Streets, and removed to it. At the time Mr. Thomson first embarked in business farmers were obliged to depend upon Ann Arbor and Dexter for all agricultural implements which were neces- sary to the cultivating and breaking of the soil, a

a journey of twenty miles. It will readily be seen that Mr. Thomson's foundry was a source of much congratulation, and many demands were made upon his skill.

Most of the wares manufactured are such as are used in agricultural pursuits, the staple article being plows.

Wheelbarrows are also made, and the demand for them has been considerable in the immediate vicinity. An engine of ten horse-power is em- ployed in the building, and the market for the products of the foundry is principally found in this and adjacent counties. All the implements made have established the reputation of the proprietor for the excellence of his work.

THE WESTERN HOTEL

was erected in 1873, and is now owned by P. D. Skillbeck, the present proprietor, R. M. Filmore, having leased the building from him. It is a sub- stantial brick structure, three stories in height, with numerous spacious rooms, and conveniently located within walking-distance of the depot. It enjoys a liberal share of patronage from the travel- ing community.

THE BRIGHTON HOTEL

was built as early as 1850, by Benjamin Cushing, and additions have been made to it since that time. It is located in the centre of the village, on Grand River Street, and is kept by M. C. Case. Having been long established and well maintained, it en- joys a reputation that brings to it a considerable portion of the custom of the neighboring country as well as much from abroad.

BRIGHTON TOWNSHIP.

BRIGHTON, though not the oldest, is by no means the least considerable of the townships of the county of Livingston. Like many other town- ships it had at first no separate organization, but composed an important part of the township of Green Oak, and it was not until April of 1838 that it was accorded a distinct existence. The first meeting was held at the residence of Daniel Lane, on section 17, William A. Clark, D.D., being chosen moderator, and the first supervisor elected was Richard Lyons; William Noble, Jr., being made township clerk, and Maynard Maltby and Philip S.
