studies being algebra, geometry, mensuration, natural philosophy and chemistry. He pursued these studies largely under the tuition of an old friend. Charles Ross (since deceased), who possessed superior educational faculties, his principal forte being mathemat- ics. For his disinterested kindness Mr. Webber cherishes his memory with respect and affection. In 1844-'5, Mr. W. taught a school in the neighborhood. In the latter year occurred the death of his mother, which had the effect of the final separation of the family. His brother, James Z. Webber, died in 1847. William resolved to study medicine, and to that end entered the office of Foote & Mowry, Milford, Oakland Co., Mich., where he remained two years, and then abandoned it for the law. In 1848 he opened a select school at Milford, which he continued for two years. In


1851 he was admitted to the bar, and soon after opened a law office at Milford. The same year he visited East Saginaw for the first time, and was so favorably impressed with the prospects that he resolved as soon as circumstances would admit, to make it his future home. On March 15, 1853, he opened an office at East Saginaw. In June, 1857, John J. Wheeler entered into partner- ship with him under the firm name of Webber & Wheeler, which relation continued till Dec. 31, 1860. In 1863 Irving M. Smith formed a co-partnership with Mr. Webber in the law business, and remained with him until the close of 1869. When the F. & P. M. R. R. was being constructed in 1859, Mr. Webber acted as its solicitor, and that relation continued until March 1, 1870, when he was also appointed Land Commissioner. He then gave up his general law practice, and since the latter date has given his exclusive attention to the business of the law and land departments of that road, officiating as a Director of the company since 1864. In politics Mr. Webber has always been a Democrat. From 1854 to 1856 he served as Circuit Court Commissioner of this county, and was subsequently elected


Prosecuting Attorney. In the spring of 1874, he was elected Mayor of East Saginaw, and in the fall of the same year was chosen to represent this district in the State Senate. Before the fact was demonstrated, and while it was only suspected that salt existed at Saginaw, Mr. Webber drafted the Bounty Bill, which was passed by the Legislature during the session of 1859, being a bill to en- courage the manufacture of salt. Hon. James Birney, now U. S. Minister at the Hague, was then State Senator from this district, and the bill was sent to him, and largely by his efforts, passed the- Senate. Immediately after the passage of the bill, Mr. Webber- prepared a subscription list, and in two days' time had secured suf- ficient stock subscriptions to organize a company for the manufac- ture of salt. The subscribers met, and organized as a corporation under the manufacturing laws of the State, as the East Saginaw Salt Manufacturing Company, They immediately bored an experi- mental well at East Saginaw, 670 feet in depth, and the existence of brine in large quantities, and its value for salt-making purposes were satisfactorily demonstrated. Mr. Webber was Secretary and

a Director in the company for several years. At the National Democrat Convention at St. Louis, in 1876, Mr. Webber was Chair- inan of the Michigan delegation, and introduced a resolution, adopted by the convention, recommending the abolition of the so-called two-thirds rule He was the nominee on the 'Democrat ticket for Governor in the fall of 1876, and received more votes than had been previously cast for the successful candidate for that office in the State, and more votes than given to the Presidential Electors on the same ticket. Mr. Webber became a member of Saginaw Lodge No. 77, F. &. A. M., of East Saginaw, in 1855, the year of its organization. Norman Little was first, W. L. P. Little second, and Mr. Webber the third member initiated into the lodge. The two former being dead, Mr. Webber is the oldest Saginaw- made Mason now living. He was Master of this lodge three years; was made a R. A. M. in Washington Chapter, at Flint, and in 1864, was a charter member of Saginaw Valley Chapter, No. 31, located at East Saginaw, serving as High Priest for three years. In 1869 he was elected Grand High Priest of the Grand Chapter


of Michigan. In 1874 was elected Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of F. & A. M., of Michigan; is also a member of St. Ber- nard Com., No. 16, of Knights Templar, and was Eminent Com. one year. He united with the I. O. O. F. in 1847. Mr. Webber has taken great interest in the promotion of the agricultural inter- ests of the Saginaw Valley and Northern Michigan. He has been connected with the Executive Boards of the State Pomological Society, and the State Agricultural Society, and was elected Presi- dent of the latter in 1878.


William L. Webber as a business man, is prompt, methodical, and exact; as a lawyer, he ranks among the first in the State; as a man, is generous, sympathetic, social and the very soul of honor and integrity. He was married in October, 1849, to Nancy M. Withington, only daughter of Edward and Nancy (Monk) Withing- ton, of Springwater, Livingston county, N. Y. They have 2 daughters-Florence Ann, born at Milford, Mich., in 1850, mar- ried to James B. Peter, of East Saginaw, in 1873, and Frances E., who was born in 1854.


Wickes Bros., founders and machinists, East Saginaw, for- merly of the firm of H. W. Wood & Co., and was composed of H. W. Wood, H. D. and E. N. Wickes. This firm was established at Flint, Mich., in 1854, where they remained until 1860. They then removed to this city, and erected a building 35x150 feet in size, one-story high, on the site of the present establishnient. They employed 36 men, bnt business increased so rapidly that they were soon forced to erect larger and more commodious facilities for their ever increasing trade. Their buildings are located on Water street, where they manufacture gang-saws, and all kinds of engine work. They employ over 75 men in their business, and the machinery manufactured finds a ready sale throughout the Northwestern States. II. D. Wickes, of the firm, was born in Yates county. N. Y., and learned his trade at Penn Yan, in the same State.

HISTORY OF SAGINAW COUNTY.


William Williamson, leading blacksmith of East Saginaw, was born in Canada, April 30, 1848. He came to East Saginaw in 1859, and worked as a common laborer until 1863, when he began learning his trade with his brother Henry, in the same place where he now works. In the spring of 1871 he bought his brother's lots and shop, etc., and began for himself. In 1873 he erected a two- story brick shop, 60x32 feet, in which are carried on all kinds of ship work, saw-mill and salt-works blacksmithing, and general blacksmithing. He erected an addition in 1881. 30x22 feet, in which he has an engine, used for cutting bolts, drilling, etc. On the second floor he does steam and gas-pipe fitting. Mr. William - son's work in eachı department is first-class. He was married in 1876, to Miss Abbie E. Hawley, by whom he has had 3 children, 1 living, viz .: Abbie C. Mrs. Williamson died Nov. 16, 1879.


Joseph M. Wilson, physician, in Meyers' Block. Washington avenne, East Saginaw, was born in York county, near Toronto, Can- ada, Sept. 24, 1851, and is of Scotch-Irish ancestry. He attended the schools of York county until 15 years of age and completed his literary education at the Victoria University, where he re- mained four years and also studied the preliminary course in the- ology. He was engaged in teaching several years, and in 1873 entered McGill Medical College, of Montreal, from which he grad- nated in the spring of 1877. He practiced in the hospitals one year. He came to East Saginaw June 24, 1878, and has built up quite an extensive practice. He was married Oct. 17, 1878, to Alfaretta, daughter of William and Flora (Sterks) Willis, a native of Canada. They have one "bonnie lad," Herodotus R., born Nov. 12, 1880.


Fred. Zarnko was born in Mecklenburg, Germany, in 1827; his father, Fredrick, sr., followed tobacco-growing, employing a large number of men. In 1856 Fred, jr., emigrated to America, coming direct to Saginaw Co. His first purchase was a lot now lo- cated on 5th street, which was then in the woods. Upon this he built a small house, having to carry the lumber three blocks on his back, a team being unable to get through on account of water. In 1872 he moved to the corner of 9th and Wardsworth streets, where he opened a general grocery store. In 1856 he was married to Miss Augusta Berrion, her father being a large woolen manufacturer in Russia. Of the family of 6 children + are living-Bertha, Alice, Georgie and Albert. Mr. Z. is one of the old citizens to whom much credit is due for his energy and public-spiritedness exhibited at an early day.


E. Zechel, merchant tailor, East Saginaw, is a native of Bolie- mia, Germany, and came to America in 1853. He first located in New York city where he found employment as a journeyman. Mr. Zechel came to East Saginaw in 1876, and for four years was employed by Frank Wilkins as a cutter. In 1880 he established liis present business, and ranks among the most skillful of his trade. He was married at New York City, April 19, 1858, to Josephine Lauer, a native of Bavaria. Of their 3 children, one is living-Albert, born Feb. 9. 1874.


SAGINAW TOWNSHIP.


In the compilation of this work every subject of importance has been taken from, or compared with, the records, and the unwrit- ten, or legendary, submitted to the pioneers for confirmation. In many cases extracts have been made from the writings of the most prominent men among the old settlers ; because the times which they passed in review, and the exquisite manner in which they treated their subjects, tended to render their reminiscences invalu- able, if not absolutely necessary for a complete history. Doubtless many important events are omitted in the county history; but it will appear that such, being so intimately connected with Saginaw City, receive a full notice in the pages devoted to this division of the county. The biographical chapters are not the least interest- ing. They necessarily comprise much historical matter, and as the lives of the men bronglit under notice are entwined closely with the progress of the county, so also do their biographies com- iningle with history, and, combined, form subject matter at once entertaining and instructive.


The history of the Churches contains much valuable informa- tion. It bears important testimony to the activity of the tinies, and proves that the spiritual matters progressed evenly with the temporal. Comparatively few years have elapsed since the God of Christians was worshiped under two or three different forms. Now, no less than 30 religious societies adore Him in 30 different ways within the cities. There is, however, one consolatory reflec- tion, and that is the beantiful fraternity which binds all the denom- inations together and gives them promise of a continuance of friendship in the land of the hereafter.


The schools are treated very briefly in the history of the county. This is entirely due to their identification with the cities and town- ships, in which connection the reader will find that full informa- tion regarding them, whichi educational establishments so well deserve. Withont the Church and school all would be darkness; ignorance would rule supreme, and man's ideal would return to that primitive condition from which the Church and school gradn- ally raised them. The great industrial establishments of the city and township hold a prominent place, while the pioneer and social history is given in a comparatively full form, which may insure its welcome.


THE NAME.


The origin of the name "Saginaw " is so doubtful that many of the early settlers differ much in opinion regarding it, and more particularly in the application of the name to this portion of the

HISTORY OF SAGINAW COUNTY.


country. O-sag-e-nung, or the land of the Osagees, comprised the valleys of all the Northeastern rivers, but the name was generally applied to that portion included within the boundaries of Saginaw county as laid off in 1822.


The land now included in Saginaw township, as well as that ou which Saginaw City is built, was called by the aborigines Pashaw- ning, or Pay-shue-e ning, and by some bands of the Otchipwes · Tchig-aii-nin-bew-in, the former meaning the first camping-ground, " coming from the rivers above," and the latter "close by the camp."


At the same time they called the land where East Saginaw now stands, Tik-wak-baw-hawning, or Hickory Place, and the district once known as Lower Saginaw, Nesli-ko-ta-younk, or coming in from the Bay. Tik-wak-baw-hawning was bounded on the northi by Waig-hawning creek and the district was known to the Indians by that name for long years after the township of Buena Vista was organized. In the same manner the sons of the forest adhered to all the old names, such as Tittabawasaig, par- allel with the bay; Shiawasaig, flowing from the South; Matchisebing, bad stream; Pe-wan-ne-go-se-bing, Flint river; Notawasibing, Cass river, and Shawesh-kawning, South creek. That the site of the present city of Saginaw was the Ke-pay-sho- wink of the Osagees, cannot be questioned; but it must also be remembered that the Great Camp, or Kepayshowink, of these wandering bands did not hold the same position in summer as in winter, so that lie who relies upon Indian legends simply, and without further inquiry, might associate the summer camp on the lake shore with the winter camp of the interior. Both were great camps; the first and principal one held the site of the present city; the second, or summer camp, was north of Nesh-ko-ta-younk; the former was the first camp reached in coming in from the North- west by the Tittabawasaig and the southern and southeastern rivers, the latter the first in coming down from the lake. In winter the Bay-shore camp was called Tchigaiinibewin by travelers as being "close by" the great camp, and in summer a reversal of terms was simply used to denote that the upper camp was the place " close by." For years those terms were fully appreciated, and indeed continued in nse until immediately prior to the war of 1812, when the fur traders began to visit the district. Those men did not particularly attend to the varied nomenclature of their Iu- dian friends; it was unnecessary for them to do so in regard to places, as they made the center of the O-sag-e-nung district their headquarters and were well pleased to know it by that general name. Other traders arrived at the Indian camp, and all followed the example set by the first, until, in the conrse of a very few years, the term Osagenung was applied to that location on the banks of the Saginaw where the winter camp was built, aud the name became so general among French and Indians that the first French missionaries, as well as the early American traders of Detroit, ven-

tured further to simplify it by naming the place Saginaw. Thenceforth it was destined to be the only memento of the decay - ing race, as well as the fountain head of the mineral, timber and agricultural wealth of the O-sag-e-nung country.


ORGANIZATION OF THE TOWNSHIP.


The act organizing the township of the county of Saginaw took effect April 4, 1831, when, at a meeting of the few citizens then settled round the old treaty ground, hield at the deserted military post, Gardner D. Williams was elected to represent the township on the County Board of Oakland; Ephraim S. Williams was elected Township Clerk; A. W. Bacon, Treasurer; David Stanard and G. D. Williams, Justices by appointment; David Stanard, Eleazer Jewett and Charles McLean, Overseers of the three districts, Sag- inaw, Green Point and Tittabawasaig. Eleazer Jewett was ap- pointed Deputy Surveyor of Oakland county the same year. This was the beginning of the end. That modest Township Board ad- ministered the civic affairs of a territory larger than many Euro- pean provinces, and accomplished its duties so well that within four years the Territorial Legislative Council organized the district as a county. The township officials from 1831 to 1881 are named in the following lists:

THE PURCHASERS OF TOWNSHIP LANDS.


The first entries of lands, lying in this county, were made in the U. S. Land Office, Sept. 19, 1822, by Charles Little, compris- ing a portion of section 13; by Jonathan Kearsley, comprising a quarter of section 31; by McCloskey and Farley, comprising a portion of section 25; and by Louis Campeau, Sept. 30, compris- ing a portion of section 24. In 1823 Justin Smith entered lands on section 24. For some years the coming of the immigrants was slow indeed; the stories of the garrison went abroad, and deterred many, who had actually set out from their Eastern homes with the

intent of settling here, from carrying out their purpose. However, the organization of the township and the assurances of men, who explored the wilderness, tended to attract attention once more to the Valley; the people flocked hither in large numbers, so that the district was organized as a county only a short time when every section of the land now comprised in the township may be said to have been in possession of an occupying tenant or proprietor. The change which has taken place even since the last U. S. patent issued, granting the last acre of Government lands within the town- ship, viz., a portion of section six, to Louis Trombley, Oct. 19, 1854, is remarkable; the change since the main portion of the land was purchased in 1836, extraordinary. In the latter year the peo- ple lived in the shade of the great pines; clearances were few and small; green fields were not to be seen, except where the ineadow- marslı appeared ---- where the lakes of spring extended; houses were few, and primitive in appearance; the people saw surrounding them a great and valuable forest, and were just beginning to util- ize it when the financial crisis cast its shadow of gloom over the land; two saw-mills were in operation, one of which contained a run of stone or corn-crackers, and both machinery for sawing lum- ber; Indians of a truly barbarous character were everywhere; nature was still uncultivated, save where the pioneers inade their central village; everything was wild and rude. A few more years and the face of the country presented wide fields and happy home- steads; the central village grew important in the character of its buildings; the remembrancer of the forest-the trading-post-dis- appeared; the Indians died away, or were transferred to their reserves; everything assumed a look of importanee, and men's minds were directed to great enterprises and high hopes. The lands hitherto purchased were being stripped of their heavy timber clothing, saw-mills sprung into existence, and thus was the farm cleared, and the river valley capped with industrial concerns.


Many of the first land-buyers were ranked among the most in- dustrious and enterprising citizens; the greater number of them remained in the district where they settled, and taking an active part with the leaders of the commercial movement, shared with them in the honors of old settlership. In the following list the names of the patentees of all the lands in the township, sold by the general Government, are given, with the section and date of entry :
