CLYDE

is a small village and depot on the Flint and Pere Marquette railway. The first settler in the place was Morris Wheeler, who came into the township as the hired man of Phineas Davis, a person who speculated extensively in real estate at an early day. He purchased some eight hundred acres of land in Highland, located on sections 1, 2, 10, and 11, which included the present site of Clyde. Mr. Wheeler settled where he now resides in 1849.

The first house in the place was erected by John Wendell, in 1836 or 1837, on the southeast corner of the village lot, and is the one now occupied by William Wheeler. It was first purchased by Phineas Davis, by whom it was moved to its present location, and afterwards bought by the present owner.

The first store was built and run by the Roscoe brothers, in March, 1873.

The first blacksmithy was built by Lawrence McGrain, and was conducted by James Swits. In the spring of 1875, Levi Wooster purchased the shop, and now conduct. the same.

The first school was taught in the house now owned by Mr. Wheeler, about 1840. June 3, 1875, Clyde was surveyed by Julian Bishop, county surveyor, for Lyman Johnson. The plot occupies almost thirteen acres of the east half of the northwest quarter of section 10. Mr. Johnson moved into the place in the spring of 1872, and purchased one hundred and five acres of Charles Merrill, a portion of which he laid out into building-lots, as above referred to.

Clyde now contains, in addition to the institutions above enumerated, the fol- lowing business enterprises : a post-office, Western Union Telegraph office, an office of the American Express Company, a general store kept by Andrew S. Taggett, an agricultural establishment kept by Lyman Johnson, a lumber-yard, and a resident physician, Dr. George F. Hunter. The estimated population of the village is sixty.

At a very early date in the settlement of Highland religious matters appear to have received attention. The pioneer religious association of the township is the

HIGHILAND BAPTIST CHURCH,

which was organized January 16, 1834, with the following original members, namely :

Jesse Tenny and wife, Daniel Dunham and wife, Eli Lee and wife, Isaiah J. Hudson and wife, Noah P. Morse and wife, J. C. Morse, and Mrs. Harriet Smith. Of these, but two-Messrs. Noah P. and J. C. Morse-are now connected with the society, and but two others-the widows of Isaiah J. Hudson and Daniel Dunham-are in the land of the living.

At first meetings were held in the old school-house on section 30, which was used as a place of worship for many years. The first pastor of the church was an Elder Morrell, from Massachusetts. The first deacons of the church were Jesse Tenny and Daniel Dunham, and J. C. Morse the first clerk. The present place of worship is a church edifice about midway north and south on the east line of sec- tion 30. A Sunday-school was organized at an early day, with Nelson Tenny as its first superintendent. Present incumbent, C. L. Mills. Members, eighty.

FREE-WILL BAPTIST CHURCH OF HIGHLAND.

This religious body was organized July 10, 1855, by Rev. Samuel Wire, a ven- erable and much-respected minister of that denomination, who has figured quite conspicuously in matters pertaining to the church in Highland and neighboring townships. At the time of the organization the number of members was seven, namely : Mr. and Mrs. A. Lockwood, Mr. and Mrs. E. Lockwood, Mr. and Mrs. William Banker, and Lydia Wheeler. A few years subsequent considerable ac- cessions were made, until the membership has increased to fifty-one. There have been ten pastors over the church, as follows : Revs. Samuel Wire, - Starr, D. C. Parshall, S. A. Williams, S. A. Currier, B. F. Herrick, J. B. Drew, William Murdin, Lewis Clark, and E. M. Corey, the present incumbent.

In 1869 the congregation erected their present substantial church edifice, at a cost of two thousand dollars. It is a frame structure, and has a seating capacity for one hundred and fifty persons. The parsonage and barn, which have been since added, are valued at seven hundred dollars, including the lot.

The members of the society who have passed to the church triumphant are five in number, and in name as follows : Mrs. Sabrina Lockwood, Mr. Alfred Lock- wood, Mrs. Maria Baker, Mr. Charles H. Lockwood, and Mr. Amos C. Kent.

The Sunday-school was organized in 1870. The first superintendent was Charles Lockwood. The present membership is sixty ; volumes in library, about one hundred. The church and Sunday-school are both prospering.

THE FIRST METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH OF HIGHLAND

was organized in 1835, with Elder Goodell as preacher and D. M. Lockwood as class-leader. The original members were H. Scollard and wife, A. C. Taggett and wife, D. M. Lockwood and wife, and L. Flint and wife. It at first formed a part of Milford circuit, but in 1848 was transferred to that of IIartland.

In 1866 it was formed into what is now Highland circuit. O. Sanborn was the presiding elder and H. Wood minister in charge, and the following officers were elected :

Stewards, H. Morgan, G. W. Glins; Recording Steward, J. Highfield; G. Stratton, E. Chase, and A. C. Taggett, district stewards. The latter was first elected to the stewardship in 1850, and has retained the position ever since. The trustees elected in 1866 were E. A. Law, G. W. Glins, M. B. Lyon, G. Halls, J. Mills, D. McCrossan, and A. C. Taggett, the last-named being chosen chairman of the board.

The church edifice was erected in 1869, and dedicated December 16 of the same year. Its dimensions are thirty-two by forty-six feet, and its cost was two thousand five hundred dollars. The society is now erecting at Clyde a parsonage, sixteen by twenty-two feet, with an upright wing of the same size, which will cost about twelve hundred dollars.

The pastors of the church have been as follows :

J. Balls, D. B. Miller, Elder Tidman, Elder Weslake, W. Cook, J. Balls, and Elder Pearce.

THE FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH OF WHITE LAKE

was organized October 11, 1842, with Elder T. Baker as pastor. The original members were Elder Baker and wife, Deacon T. Doty, S. Doty, E. Corwin, J. Corwin, C. Ware, A. Ware, R. Arthur, M. Arthur, J. D. Standish. The society first met at the old red school-house in Highland township, in what was known as the Lyman district. The preachers from May 24, 1845, to November 15, 1876, are as follows : Amasa Heath, 1845; H. Stowits, 1852 ; Elder Atwood, 1860; Elder Brooks, 1863; Elder J. E. Morse, 1863; J. Eisenbury, 1867 ; T. H. Cary, 1868; Wmn. Saunders, 1869 (ordained April 3, 1870) ; Rev. J. D. Perry, 1870

(called to ordination January 21, 1871) ; Elder W. King, November 15, 1876, present incumbent.

The first church edifice was erected in the summer of 1856, and is located on the town-line between Highland and White Lake townships, one-half mile west of White Lake village. Its dimensions are thirty by seventy feet, with twenty- feet posts. It will comfortably seat three hundred persons, and is valued at nine hundred and fifty dollars.

The present church officers are L. S. Johnson, church clerk ; L. Doty, Wil- liam Lockwood, L. J. Johnson, deacons. The church is in a generally flourish- ing condition.

EDUCATIONAL.

One of the first things that received the attention of the pioneers was the best method for educating their youth, and immediately after the regular organization of the township schools were regularly established in accordance with the admirable common-school system which has for the past half-century formed the principal corner-stone of our freedom and independence. Oftentimes schools were held in the log cabins of the early settlers prior to the organization of the district schools. Here we adduce an instance of this kind :

In the fall and winter of 1835 and 1836 a school was taught in the house of Jonathan F. Stratton, Esq., on the south half of the southwest quarter of section 27, by Miss Eliza A. Sessions. Among the first pupils now known to be living are Joseph Stratton, Mrs. Rebecca Everts (then Rebecca Beach), and George Beach.

The subjoined is the order in which the six district schools were originally organized :

District No. 1 .- The school-board organized by appointing Wm. B. Wright moderator, and then proceeded to establish a school district, denominated district No. 1, which was bounded as follows : " Commencing at the southwest corner of township 3 north, range 7 east, and running east on the section-line on the north side of sections 31 and 32 to the southwest corner of section 33; thence north to the east line of sections 32, 29, and 20, to the southeast corner of section 17; thence west on the north line of sections 20 and 19 to the northwest corner of section 19; from thence south on the west line of sections 19, 30, and 31, to the place of beginning.

" DANIEL M. LOCKWOOD, " WM. B. WRIGHT, School Inspectors.

" May 16, 1837."

District No. 2 .- Commencing on the west township-line at the quarter-post on the west side of section 19, and running north three and one-half miles to the northwest corner of the township; thence east two miles on the north township- line to the northeast corner of section 5; thence south three and a half miles on the east section-line of sections 5, 8, 17, and 20, to the quarter-post on the east side of section 20; thence west two miles to the centre line of sections 20 and 19, to the place of beginning. Established May 24, 1837.

District No. 3 .- Containing sections 1, 2, 3, and 4, and 9, 10, 11, and 12, in the township of Highland. Established October 7, 1837.

District No. 4 .- Containing sections 16, 21, and 28, except Hiram A. Hill's land on the last-named section, and so much of sections 34, 27, 22, and 15 as lies on the west side of Pettibone creek. Established December 9, 1837.

District No. 5 .- Containing the west half of sections 24 and 25, and all of sections 23, 26, and 35, and so much of sections 22, 27, and 34 as lies on the east side of Pettibone creek and lakes. Established December 11, 1837.

District No. 6 .- Containing section 1, 2, 11, and 12, in the township of High- land. Established March 25, 1838.

These districts have been altered as circumstances required, and fractional dis- tricts have been formed, all of which have neat and substantial school-houses, and thorough and competent teachers.

Barrett, B. F. Davison, Elias Cowles, Pardy A. Tuttle, R. H. Tenny, Frederick Harris, township clerk, and others.

BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES.

NORMAN DAVISON,

one of the pioneers of old Oakland, was born in the Susquehanna valley, in August, 1784. He was a son of Captain Paul Davison, a commissioned officer of the Revolution, who settled in Lima, Livingston county, New York, in the summer of 1788, and was, therefore, one of the very earliest settlers west of Geneva, New York. In June, 1831, he (Norman Davison) emigrated to that part of Oakland County now included in Genesee, and with his sons, Paul G., Oliver P., De Witt C., and Benjamin F. Davison, settled at Davisonville, where they erected a saw-mill-one of the first in that section of country-in 1833, and a grist-mill in 1836. He was one of the delegates that met in convention at De- troit on the second Monday of May, 1835, and framed the first constitution of Michigan. Was also a delegate to the convention at Ann Arbor, called for the purpose of acting upon the terms proposed to the people of Michigan to surrender a portion of the State to Ohio and Indiana in exchange for the upper peninsula, as set forth in the act of Congress relating to the matter. He was elected one of the judges of Lapeer county, and held various other offices, in the discharge of the duties of which he gave general satisfaction and secured a deserved personal credit. After a life of rare usefulness he died in March, 1841, leaving behind him a reputation for sterling integrity, sound judgment, and remarkable general ability, which won for him the respect and confidence of the people. In his pub- lic career he was successful from the fact that he was never biased by political cliques, but did his duty fearlessly and to the best of his ability. He was a man whose deeds will follow him, and will ever redound to his honor.

BENJAMIN F. DAVISON,

son of the gentleman whose history we have thus briefly recorded, was born in Livingston county, New York, April 12, 1821. He went to the common schools of his native town, and acquired as much knowledge as the limited educational facilities of the time afforded. He removed to Michigan with his parents in 1831, and to the farm he now occupies in Highland township in 1842.

On the 16th of May, 1849, he married Miss Huldah M. Gue, and had by her four children, namely :

Jane Ann, born November 30, 1853.

Flora Ella, born February 1, 1856; died October 16, 1871.

Norman, born August 2, 1858.

Benjamin F., Jr., born January 16, 1862; died November 20, 1873. On the 30th of August, 1866, he sustained the loss of his estimable wife, which was to him a sore bereavement.

He married again January 1, 1867, to Miss Sarah S. Wells. This union has been blessed with two children, both living :

Bertha, born October 5, 1869.

Margaret S., born August 23, 1871.

Mr. Davison was twice elected supervisor of his township, and also several times its treasurer. These and various other offices he has filled to the satisfaction of his constituents and with honor to himself. In politics he is Democratic, of the old Jeffersonian, Simon-pure school of Democracy. In religion he is liberal, never being affiliated with any particular religious denomination. His creed is embodied in the old precept, " Do to others as you would they should do to you." By in- dustry and prudential care he has accumulated a fair competency. He now owns two hundred and eighty-five acres of land, of which about two hundred are under cultivation and the balance in timber. His buildings are substantial and com- fortable, and constitute a fair sample of the beautiful rural homes of which Oak- land County contains so many.

HISTORY OF OAKLAND COUNTY, MICHIGAN.

We can adduce no better encomium on Mr. Davison than by saying that he possesses many of the estimable qualities which rendered his father so worthily popular. In short, he is the worthy son of a worthy sire, and as such holds a prominent position among the representative men of his township. (See illustra- tion and portraits.)

PARDY A. TUTTLE

was born at Prattsburg, Steuben county, New York, November 11, 1812. He is a son of Bishop M. and Rebecca Tuttle, who were among the first settlers of Steuben county, New York. He continued his residence in Prattsburg until he was twenty-two years of age, when he emigrated to Ohio, in the winter of 1834. He taught school one term. In the spring of 1835 he removed to Michigan, settling temporarily at Pontiac, where he remained about one year and a half; settling on his farm in Highland in 1836.

On the 21st of October, 1835, he married Mary, daughter of Joseph Voorheis, by whom he had three children, namely : Lucretia, born November 5, 1836, mar- ried Willard B. Arms May, 1853, died August 1st, 1863; Cleantha M., born March 7, 1841 ; Mary, born May 14, 1846, died March 25, 1865. He had the misfortune to lose his estimable wife, who died June 20, 1846. Having an infant child to take care of, he deemed it expedient to marry again, which he did, this time choosing Clarissa, daughter of Isaac Anderson, one of the pioneers of Spring- field township. This union was also blessed with three children, namely : Lovedy V., born October 31, 1853, married Newton Taggett, March 18, 1874, and still resides in the township with her husband; Adella A., born March 7, 1856; Franklin Anderson, born April 30, 1859. Mr. Tuttle was early in life impressed with the importance of embracing religion, and in 1836 joined the Presbyterian church of White Lake. Soon afterwards he was elected an elder in that body, which office he has since filled. In politics he has always been a strong Repub- lican, and an uncompromising advocate of the principles of that party. For twenty years he held the office of justice of the peace, and was noted for the im- partiality and justice of his decisions. He was also for many years one of the school directors of his township, which position he filled with fidelity. He has always been temperate and industrious, and now enjoys the fruits of his well-spent life. He owns one hundred and forty acres of well-improved and highly-cultivated land, to which he devotes his time, assisted by his amiable wife and dutiful son and daughter.

CLARISSA ANDERSON.

Clarissa, daughter of Isaac and Catherine Anderson, and present wife of Pardy A. Tuttle, Esq., was born at Bennington, Wyoming county, New York, October 11, 1818. She removed with her parents to Michigan in 1834 or 1835, and settled in Springfield township, in this county. At the time they came in the roads were almost impassable, and Mrs. Paddock gives the narrative of their journey as follows :

" We came across the lake to Detroit, my father bringing two teams with him,- one of oxen and the other a span of horses. One of the latter got injured on the boat, so he was obliged to purchase another at Detroit. Our family consisted of father, mother, two brothers, two sisters, and myself. Father drove the horse- team, one brother the oxen, and the other brother the lame horse. In this way we left Detroit ; but before we had proceeded out of the town we got stuck in the mire, so that we had to get out and walk, and the men-folks had to double the teams in order to get out of the mud. We walked until we reached the first hotel, and there stayed until the men came up with the teams. We had got about three miles, and it took us nearly all day to travel that short distance. We stopped overnight where we were, and started on our journey bright and early the next morning, with a little better success. About eight o'clock that evening we arrived in Pontiac. Father was both tired and sick, so we stopped there until Wednesday morning, and arrived at our destination in Springfield township about noon on Thursday. We were three days and a half coming from Detroit to Springfield. Rather slow traveling compared with what it is now !

"The first summer I was in Michigan I taught school, in what was then called the Pratt district, in Springfield township; that term, I believe, being the third one taught. The following summer I taught the first school at what now constitutes the village of Clarkston. The school-house was new, but not completed, being merely inclosed, with some seats on one side, and on the other a pile of lumber with which to finish the house."

As stated in the sketch of Mr. Tuttle's life above, Miss Anderson was married to him September 2, 1847. She is a lady noted for her domestic tastes and her excellent qualifications as a housewife. She is a faithful and loving wife, and a kind and affectionate mother. (See illustration and portraits.)

SQUIRE W. ROWE,

one of the early settlers of the township of Highland, was born at Camillus, Onondaga county, New York, June 1, 1815. From thence he removed to Parma, Monroe county, at quite an early age, where he grew to man's estate. Here becoming acquainted with a Miss Dolly Castle, a young lady about two years his junior, and possessing qualities of mind and heart that charmed him, their acquaintance culminated in marriage, which interesting event took place March 26, 1835. A wondrous tide of emigration was then flowing from the grand old Empire State westward. Soon after their marriage Mr. Rowe and his youthful bride came to Michigan, with the intention of building themselves a home in the then almost unbroken forests of the Peninsular State. Arriving here in May the same spring of the year 1835, they located in the township of High- land, on sections 29 and 32. They endured all the hardships and privations inci- dent to pioneers. Pontiac, twenty-two miles distant, was the site of their nearest grist-mill, and also their nearest post-office. These difficulties and hardships were somewhat ameliorated by the spirit in which they were met and overcome. Any neighbor within ten miles was but too ready to accommodate in any way he could, thus forming ties that death only could sever. By hard labor and strict economy they cleared up a large, beautiful farm, raised a numerous family, and built a fine residence ; attaining competence and the highest respectability, honored and

trusted by their neighbors and friends. Mr. Rowe was a thorough Republican, and as such held the office of supervisor of his township twenty-one terms. He was thoroughly in earnest in his efforts to sustain his country during the great war of the Rebellion ; enlisting a company in one of our infantry regiments,-the Thirtieth,-and, as supervisor of his township, rendered efficient service as relief agent to the widows and orphans. About the close of the war he was elected a member of the State legislature, in the year 1864, serving during the exciting session of 1865. He held that position at the time of his death, which occurred the 19th of November, 1866, after a brief sickness of a few days from congestion of the brain. The following are the names of their children, now grown to days of manhood and womanhood, with the dates of their birth : Eliza A. Rowe, born March 22, 1836. James D. Rowe, born February 18, 1838.

Josiah L. Rowe, born November 3, 1840.

Benjamin W. Rowe, born December 21, 1842.

S. Lowell Rowe, born February 8, 1845. Marion C. Rowe, born June 1, 1847.

Theodosia M. Rowe, born August 4, 1849.

Judson L. Rowe, born April 20, 1851.

Both of the elder sons, James D. Rowe and Josiah L. Rowe, enlisted at the

commencement of the war in the Second Michigan Infantry for three months. After this, on the further call for more men, James enlisted in Company C, First Michigan Cavalry, where he held the position of orderly sergeant. He was wounded at Winchester, receiving a gunshot wound in the head, causing him to be an inmate of a hospital for three months. Josiah re-enlisted in the Second Michigan Infantry, remaining with them during the war, participating in many of the numerous engagements of that celebrated regiment; was taken prisoner at

Knoxville, Tennessee; was in captivity fourteen months; escaped from the cars, remaining at large four weeks; was then recaptured and taken to Columbia, South Carolina, from thence to Florence, Alabama, where he escaped a second time, and, after wandering five weeks in an enemy's territory, he again met his old com- panions, the boys in blue, in Tennessee. Willis Smith, the husband of the eldest daughter, Eliza A., was also a soldier,-a member of the Fifth Michigan Cavalry, and wears honorable scars attained in the war of the Rebellion.

INDEPENDENCE TOWNSHIP.

THE town 4 north, range 9 east, of the United States surveys, received its local name at the suggestion of Joseph Van Syckle, who came from the town of Independence, in New Jersey, and wished this name bestowed upon the town of his new home in honor of the old. It is a full congressional township, having an area of twenty-three thousand and forty acres. The surface is somewhat di- versified, being in general hilly in the northwest and centre, and level in the south- east. The famous Sashabaw plains are in this region, extending north and south nearly three miles, and east and west about two and a half miles. Smaller plains are found in the northern and western parts of the township, and the greater por- tion of the elevated lands is comparatively level. There are several well-defined local elevations. Pine Knob, on the northwest quarter of section 23, is about a hundred feet in height above the general level, and covers about sixty acres, much of which is tillable. There are also hills of considerable magnitude on sec- tions 29 and 32, as well as on sections 17 and 20. The general slope of the country is south and west, with very fine natural drainage, afforded by the Clinton river and its tributary streams. There is a series of small lakes, having a general southwesterly course, extending from the northeast corner of section 3 to the middle of section 20, when it assumes a southerly course. The main branch of the Clinton river is the outlet of these lakes, and has the course indicated until it reaches the town-line, along which it deflects eastwardly. It has a branch from the west, entering the town at the middle of section 19; thence flows southeast through Deer lake to a confluence with the main branch on section 29. The Sashabaw creek rises on section 25, and flows west and south to the eastern part of section 35, where it takes an easterly course. The most important lakes are Park's, Deer, and Green, in the southwestern part of the town, and in connection with the river produce water-power, which is well improved. Other lakes are in the northeast, the largest being Bailey lake, on sections 3 and 10, whose area is about one hundred acres. Round lake, on section 2, is nearly circular in form, without visible inlet or outlet. There is considerable marsh surface in the neigh- borhood of these lakes, and nearly all the lakes in the township are bordered by swamp surface. Nevertheless the proportion of waste land is comparatively small, and much of it has been redeemed by artificial drainage.
