BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES.


JACOB WIEDMAN.


John and Mary ( Fry) Wiedman were natives of Wur- temberg, Germany, and reared a family of four boys and two girls. Three are residents of this country, -John, Jr., at Ann Arbor, Frederick in Pike Co., Ill., and Jacob, the subject of this sketch, who was born Jan. 1, 1834. His earliest recollections are of stories told of a land aeross the waters where each eould build up their possessions as unlimited as their desires or capacity would wish. At nine- teen, after having passed through their rigid sehool disei- pline, he borrowed sufficient money of an elder brother to pay his passage, and set out upon a voyage to the New World. Most of his fellow-passengers had decided upon Michigan as their future home, and from New York City he came with them to Ann Arbor. He obtained employment for two months at ten dollars per month upon a farm. With his first pay he caneeled the debt with his brother, and so faithfully did he serve his employer that he remained eight years. During this time, in 1860, he purchased seventy- one acres on seetion 19, New Haven township, their present home. On Feb. 4, 1862, he married Elizabeth, daughter of Abraham and Sally (Koons) Steffe, natives of Pennsyl- vania, who removed to Ann Arbor in 1856, and followed farming until the family was broken up by the death of Mr. Steffe, on April 5, 1876. The mother now resides with a daughter in Washtenaw County. The day follow- ing their marriage, Jacob and wife set out upon a journey to their new home with a yoke of oxen and wagon to eon- vey them and their worldly effeets. The first year proved the most discouraging ever experienced by them. Their only marketable commodity was wood, which Mr. Wied- man eut and hauled to Owosso, receiving six shillings in store pay per eord. With the following year eame a more plentiful harvest. Each succeeding year has showered upon them the fruits of industry and frugality. Their children number three,-Reuben, born in 1862; Jessie, born Feb. 22, 1865 ; John, born Oet. 1, 1867. Mr. Wied- man is one of nature's noblemen, preferring to devote his time and energies to the improvement of his possessions and surrounding himself and family with the comforts of life to following the empty baubles of political popularity.

MRS. PHINEAS BURCHI.


PHINEAS BURCHI.


PHINEAS BURCII.


Jonathan and Polly (St. Clair) Burch were natives of Royalston, Vt., and after uniting their destinies by mar- riage the first five years.were spent at Montreal, Canada. In 1817 they moved to Niagara Co., N. Y., purchasing a farm, where they lived to see a family of seven children pass from the parental home to begin life's labor for themselves. Mrs. Burch lived to the age of seventy-two, for fifty-four years a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church, thus exemplifying the many good womanly qualities possessed by her. Mr. Burch spent the remainder of his life with his son, living to the age of eighty-four, a consistent Christian.


Phineas Burch, a son, and to whom this sketch has par- ticular reference, was born Aug. 11, 1814. Ilis years of mi- nority were passed at home on the farm. May 1, 1836, he married Mary A. Brown, and engaged in farming. Thus life passed pleasantly for a period of nineteen years, when


death's summons came to Mrs. Burch, and she was laid to rest, leaving a family of six children. Three years later Mr. Burch found consolation, and his children a kind and indulgent parent, in Miss Adaline Bartholomew. They were married March 22, 1854. The offspring of this mar- riage was one child. In June following they journeyed West to Shiawassee County, settling upon section 16, New Haven township, where they have sinee resided. Mr. Bureh has served his township and county in an official capacity almost incessantly as supervisor for fifteen conseen- tive years,-justice of the peace until obliged to decline to qualify on account of failing health. Through all the labors of pioneer life and public duties Mr. Burch has been very efficiently aided by his good wife, making, as he affirms, an accurate accountant as township clerk. In polities he is a Republican, and both have long been members of the Meth- odist Episcopal Church.


WELLMAN HART.


Of the family history of Wellman Ilart we have the fol- lowing record. llorace, with his third wife, came from Monroe Co., Mich., to Shiawassee County, and made the first settlement in the town of New Haven, said location being on seetion 36. Their family consisted of seven ehil- dren, six by first marriage,-Robert, Joel, Lewis, Rosconna, Joseph W., and Naney,-by the second, Josephine. In the course of human events the surviving children had departed the old home to establish their own. Joseph W. located eighty acres on section 19, with whom the parents lived and passed their closing days. Horace Hart was born June 3, 1785 ; died in March, 1867. Mrs. IFart continued with them until Feb. 23, 1874. Of their family but one is now living, Mrs. Naney Youngs, of Caledonia. Joseph W. mar- ried Miss Naney Shipman, of Monroe Co., Mich., and to-


gether they pioneered the home which, with their respected memories, was left as an inheritance to a family of nine children, that had grown to maturity under their parental care, viz. : Warner, resides in Saginaw ; Martha (deceased) ; Wilson W., resides at Tahama, Cal. ; Wellman, Mrs. Miranda Marshall (deceased), William M., and Bettie, all of New Ilaven township.


On Oet. 7, 1872, Wellman united in marriage with Mary J. Camp, of the town of Rush. The improvements so untiringly prosecuted by his parents have been continned by them. To-day a beautiful home, surrounded by many conveniences, is theirs, as may be seen by the accompanying sketches of the old home and the new. They are the parents of two children,-Matilda, born Sept. 14, 1873, and Emerald B., born April 17, 1878.

MRS. DANIEL YOUNG.


DANIEL YOUNG.


DANIEL YOUNG.


The Young family of whom we have to'write descended from Emanuel Young, of Germany, who having received the degree of M.D., emigrated to this country about the year 1735, and began the practice of medicine. Eventually we find him located in Montgomery Co., N. Y., surrounded by a family characteristic of the Germans. The next in line, Emanuel Young, Jr., joined in the struggle of 1777 for independence, how well, the wounds received, by the sears that remained bore testimony to his dying day. At the age of eighty-three he passed away, the latter portion of his life being spent with his children in Onondaga Co., N. Y. Daniel E. Young, the eldest of his family of six children, was born in Montgomery County, March 16, 1791. In his twenty-third year he united in marriage with Miss Martha Brown, also a native of Montgomery County, born Dec. 18, 1793. As was customary in those days, both labored to secure a competeney, he as a clothier, she as a weaver; their final location being at Skaneateles, Onou- daga Co., N. Y. Their family consisted of Maria, deceased ; Halsey, residing in Auburn, N. Y .; Harvey, at Corunna, Mieh. ; Edwin, at Cayuga Co., N. Y .; Daniel and Mrs. Louisa Stoner, at New Ilaven. Daniel was born at Skane- ateles, June 4, 1827. Being of a studious mind, at eighteen was qualified for school-teaching, which he followed until twenty-three. March 11, 1850, he married Miss Catherine Gurnee, a native of Rockland Co., N. Y., born June 4, 1827. The year following he worked by the month upon a farm. In the fall of 1851 came West, and purchased of his brother Hlarvey, living in Genesee Co., Mich., forty acres of wild land on section 15, New Haven, Shiawassee Co., paying three dollars per acre, and returned home. May 19, 1852, with his wife he departed upon their journey westward,


via canal to Buffalo, lake to Detroit, arriving the evening of the 25th, where his brother was waiting to convey them to his home in Davidson, Genesee Co. W. W. Young, like most actual settlers in a new country, was not blessed with a plentiful supply of cash, and while carrying forward the work of erecting a home his family must be provided for. Leaving his family at his brother's, he went in ad- vanee to his location, and began the work of ereeting a house. On June 11th he removed his family to a pioneer tavern near his location, kept by Mr. Wheeler. July 9th he went to Oakland County, and worked through harvest. With his wages he was enabled to complete his house, and on August 17th occupied their first home, where they con- tinued for fourteen years, elearing and improving sum- mers, teaching winters. In 1876 he completed a commo- dious farm-house, and other improvements in the way of farm-buildings have followed. To his first purchase he has added one hundred and twenty acres. Where the wilder- ness overshadowed all now smile green fields and fruit- laden orchards, emblematical of industry and prosperity. A due portion may be attributed to the good wife, whose watch word has ever been, " Economy is necessary to success." Their family consists of three children,-Sylvester J., born Jan. 6, 1851 ; Mrs. Martha E. Dutcher, born May 27, 1854 ; Melissa I., born Feb. 1, 1863. Sylvester and Martha when of age received forty aeres, with a portion under improve- ment, adjoining the old home. Mr. Young and wife have been church members since sixteen years of age, and for the past three years connected with the Wesleyan Methodist Episcopal Church of New Haven. They contributed liber- ally to secure a suitable church building, and are con- sistent Christians and a worthy couple in every respect.

MRS. H. B. CRAM.


H. B. CRAM.


Chester Cram was born Feb. 2, 1813, in Essex Co., N. Y. While yet a lad the family removed to Chautauqua County, thence to Oakland County. In the spring of 1834, Chester, then of age, had accumulated sufficient means to purchase forty acres in Oxford township. He put it under a good state of eultivation, when, being desirous of securing more land, he exchanged for one hundred and twenty acres of wild land, taking a deed for sixty acres and mortgage upon the balance, which he failed to have recorded. The first parties, finding the mortgage had not been recorded, sold the prop- erty and left the country, thus depriving huu of its benefits. In the fall of 1839 he took to himself a wife in the per- son of Miss Margaret Eldred, whose family had removed from Steuben Co., N. Y., to Oakland County in 1835. In the spring of 1844, Mr. Cram again exchanged for one hundred and sixty acres of wild land in New Haven town- ship, Shiawassee Co., but did not remove thereto until the spring of 1849, where they continued to reside until his death, which occurred Aug. 8, 1866, leaving a widow and four children,-HI. B. Cram, born May 7, 1844, resides in East Tennessee; H. B., born Dec. 19, 1852; Leroy, born May 18, 1855 ; Mrs. Maria Hopson, resides in New Haven. Mr. and Mrs. Cram united with the Baptist Church soon after their marriage, and ever after lived a consistent Chris- tian life. The present proprietor of the old home, II. B. Cram, on Feb. 7, 1874, married Miss Louisa Butcher, whose family had removed from Oakland County to New IJaven four years previously. The newly-wedded couple followed farming for a short period upon forty acres that had been given him by his father, when a desire to visit the gold field on the Pacific coast led him to rent his place, establishing his wife with her parents. lle journeyed westward, visiting many places of interest ; finally located at Prescott, Arizona, engaging in quartz mining, which proved the royal road to success. Two years later he re- turned home, having sold his mining interest. Ile pur-

chased the heirship interest in the old home, and vigorously set to work making substantial improvements. They are parents of two children,-Edson B., born Oct. 19, 1879 ; Annie M., born Nov. 15, 1876. Mr. and Mrs. Cram are members of the Methodist Episcopal Church in good standing.


CHAPTER XXXVII.


OWOSSO TOWNSHIP .*


Description and Original Surveys- First and other Land-Entries- Early Settlements-Civil and Political-Educational.


THIS township, which originally embraced within its limits the northern half of Shiawassee County, now occu- pies the territory designated in the field-notes of the orig- inal survey as township No. 7 uorth, of range No. 2 east. It is one of the four interior divisions of the county, and is situated northwest of its geographical centre.


Adjoining township organizations are Rush on the north, Caledonia on the cast, Bennington on the south, and Mid- dlebury on the west.


The surface, although comparatively level, is sufficiently elevated above its water-courses to admit of good surface drainage, the higher portions being found in the eastern and central parts. Originally this was a heavily timbered township, beech, maple, oak, ash, cherry, hickory, butter- nut, black-walnut, and the many other varieties of deciduous trees common to this climate predominating. l'ines of small size were found scattered over various sections, and tamaracks and black ash in the swamps, of which there are many acres in the northern and northwest sections ; also along the margins of' Maple River.


The Shiawassee and Maple Rivers are the principal water-

courses. The former enters the surveyed township near the centre of the east border, or within the corporate limits of the city of Owosso, and thence sweeping rapidly to the northwest, affording excellent water-power privileges in the latter city, passes on in a general northerly course, and finally leaves the township by crossing the north border of seetion 1. Maple River, in its sluggish flow to the north- west, drains the southwest corner of the township, inter- secting seetions 34, 33, 28, 29, 30, and 19. Numerous springs aud wells, whose waters are strongly impregnated with iron, are found in various portions, and, as a whole, Owosso township may be considered well watered.


Doubtless coal, in large quantities, underlies a large por- tion of its surface, mines having already been developed in the city of Owosso, also in the adjoining township of Caledonia, at Corunna.


The people are chiefly engaged in agricultural pur- suits, the cereals, dairy products, and wool being the principal articles produced.


ORIGINAL SURVEYS.


The history of Owosso as a township began in the year 1823, when deputy United States Surveyors John Mullett, Joseph Wampler, and William Brookfield, in pursuance of contraets, and acting under instructions from Edward Tiffin, Surveyor-General of the United States, led their separate surveying-parties into these wilds and began the toilsome work of mapping out townships.


Joseph Wampler ran out the township boundary-lines in the summer or early autumn of 1823, designating the territory thus surveyed township No. 7 north, of range No. 2 cast, and on Saturday, November 8th of the same year, William Brookfield, with his party, began the work oľ subdivision.


Mr. Brookfield commeneed in the southeast corner, see- tion 36, and thence continued north until the eastern tier of sections were completed. Returning to section 35, he again worked to the northward, and thus repeated his move- ments until his task of running the sectional lines was completed in the northwest corner on section 6, Sunday evening, November 23d. On Monday, the 24th, he began meandering the Shiawassee River, commencing on the north boundary-line of the township, and on the left or west bank of the river; thenee up the stream. Arriving at the eastern line of section 24, on the evening of the same day, he found that the hickory post set by Mr. Wam- pler on the left bank of the stream had been destroyed by the Indians. "For," he remarked, "it is where their trail crosses the river, and where they have encamped." On the succeeding day he crossed the right bank of the river, and moving down its course to the northern boundary of sce- tion 1, finally completed the original survey in all its details Wednesday, Nov. 26, 1823.


In running the sectional lines, Mr. Brookfield supple- mented his work by entering upon his field-book remarks regarding the surface, soil, water-courses, swamps, kinds of timber growing, etc. As his opinions of Owosso township in 1823 will be of interest to those who occupy the terri- tory at the present time, -fifty-seven years later,-we here notice a few of them. In running east, between sections


13 and 24, and after crossing the Shiawassee River, he found " plains or oak-openings. Land, first rate ; good soil, no large timber,-it was long ago burnt off. Undergrowth, white and prickly ash, thorns and briers; all in abundance."


Going north between sections 13 and 14, the land was good, no timber. East, between sections 12 and 13, he again crossed the Shiawassee, and found " good and princi- pally high land ; timber been burnt off, new growth of all kinds springing up; some thorns, hazel, ash, poplar, and briers." On Monday, November 10th, in going north, between sections 11 and 12, he adds, " waded river seven times to-day." Between seetions 26 and 27 was "an In- dian sugar-orchard, and land first rate." Another " fine Indian sugar-orchard" was found on the line between sec- tions 21 and 22. In running north between sections 2 and 3, November 13th, he says, "Three miles from eamp, and just dark. All black-ash swamp ; two miles of such tim- ber." On reaching the north boundary-line of the town- ship, between sections 3 and 4, he noted, " I could find a tamaraek to bear to every second on the compass."


In accounting for the variation of east and west lines, especially west of a north and south line drawn throughı the central part of the township, he said, after runuing cast between sections 28 and 33, " The compass has been attracted in running this line." On the succeeding day, in going north, between sections 32 and 33, he adds, " Again to see if a mistake was not made in the distance of ten chains, and found nonc. Run the easting also, and found by running from the east boundary to the west, that we made the same southing that we made northing. So that there can be no doubt that regular attraction affected the needle. Lost one half-day in this to ascertain our corrections."


Again, in running east between sections 16 and 21, he said, " There is evidently attraction of mineral in this vicinity; in my northing I have been drawn three chains and seventy-five links, and in my easting three chains and sixty-four links." On the line between sections 9 and 16 he found a white oak " fifty links in eireumference seven feet from the ground, sixty feet to the limbs. It is sound, and we judged it would make one thousand rails."


Thirty-two, in his opinion, for soil and timber, was the best seetion in the township. Running north, between see- tions 7 and 8, he found time to say, " Wretched swamp ! Ash, alder, tamarack." But the height of his wretched- ness was reached when running the line west, between see- tions 6 and 7, for here he ejaculated, " Land miserable ; uot fit even for wolves to inhabit."


FIRST AND OTHER EARLY LAND-ENTRIES.


The brothers Alfred L. and Benjamin O. Williams en- tered the first land in the township on section 24, being the northeast fractional quarter, and the southeast part of the northeast fractional quarter, Ang. 2, 1833. November 13th following they purchased on section 13 the southeast part of the southeast fractional quarter, and the west part of the southeast fractional quarter. No other entries were made until the year 1835, when Trumbull Cary, William Rood, James Tillson, Kilburn Bedell, Lewis Findley, Elias Comstock, A. L. and B. O. Williams, Abel Millington, and a few others bought land on various seetious.
