This fire materially checked the growth of the village, and new buildings were not immediately erected in place of those destroyed. The Messrs. Garrison erected a shanty for temporary occupation, and in the summer of 1872 built their present spacious brick store, embracing the most com- plete modern appliances for the management of an exten- sive business. They have in addition a large warehouse and elevator for their wool and grain trade, with a capacity of ten thousand bushels. A. W. Nichols has also a large elevator in the village, and E. Il. Jones is the proprietor of a foundry, which was established by Messrs. Pinney & Garrison in 1858, the interest of the latter having been

purchased by Mr. Jones in 1865. Mr. Pinney retired in 1874, since which time Mr. Jones has been exelusive pro- prietor. Plows, drags, and other agricultural implements are manufactured, and a general repairing business is done. Connected with the foundry is a steam planing-mill, estab- lished in 1868, principally devoted to work demanded by the establishment. A custom feed-mill was started in 1876, which has an extended patronage from the country imme- diately adjacent to Vernon. Mr. Jones met with a severe loss by fire in 1876, but at once rebuilt.

John Hopkins established a carriage- and wagon-manu- factory in 1871, and has for years enjoyed a wide popu- larity for the excellence of his work. He has a warehouse on Main Street, and disposes of eighty or more vehicles per year. Seven workmen are employed in this establish- ment. Besides the establishments mentioned there are the usual number of stores of various kinds, all enjoying a fair degree of patronage.

Vernon has always maintained a deservedly high reputa- tion for the skill of its medical practitioners. The present physicians are Dr. D .- C. Holley, Dr. J. L. Smith, and Dr. M. C. Sculley, of whom Dr. Holley is the senior in time of arrival.

E. W. Angel is the agent of the Detroit and Milwaukee Railroad.

The earliest school within the limits of the present vil- lage of Vernon was opened in a log house erected by James Van Auken in 1839, his daughter, Miss Julia W. Van Auken, having been the teacher for a brief term of a select school patronized by the few settlers of that early date. The earliest school building was erceted in district No. 1, and located on the northeast corner of the north half of the southeast fractional quarter of section 6, having been placed upon the farm of' C. S. Pratt. It was built iu 1840, and lay within the bounds of the present corporation. The teacher who earliest maintained discipline within its walls was a young man from Fenton, Genesee Co., who remained but six weeks, and finding little encouragement in his work departed. The list of pupils at that time did not exceed six in number. The first regular school was opened by Miss Frances A. Ferry during the summer of 1841 iu the same log building, and in the following term Dr. Solomon Everts became associated with the district as teacher. lle remained during the winter of 1841-42, and was succeeded during the summer term by Miss Ferry, who was a second time employed as teacher.

During the winter of 1844 the services of an instructor of reputation, Nelson K. Ferry, Esq., were secured, Miss Ferry again assuming the charge of the summer school. The winter term of' 1845 was taught by Monroe Holley, who was succeeded during the summer by Miss Mary Holley. The year 1846 was filled by the same parties respectively, and D. C. Holley taught during the winter term of 1847-48. Marcus S. Angel commenced teaching here in 1849, and remained during the winter. With this term ended the career of the old log school-house. During the years 1850

311

and 1851 a frame school building was erected adjoining the site of the Baptist church, and the first term in it was taught by Miss Lytle, of New York. She was succeeded during the winter of 1854 by Miss Alsina Wheeler, of Corunna. The house was used for a period of seventeen years, but was ultimately removed and made an appendage to the present spacious edifice, built in 1871. This was opened as a union and graded school the same year, under the super- intendence of Mr. J. W. Manning, with Miss Ilannah Purdy as assistant. The course of study was arranged with especial reference to completeness at every stage, leav- ing the higher branches until the last, thus affording to pupils who may not be able to complete the course the op- portunity of making themselves familiar with the most essential studies.

Under the recent judicious management Vernon school has attained a deservedly high rank among the schools of the county. The following list embraces the teachers in succession since 1871 :

1872 .- Mr. W. A. Frazier, Superintendent ; Mrs. A. Chaffee, Mrs. Rose Read, Assistants.

1873 .- Mr. S. T. Youngs, Superintendent ; Miss Ida IIin- del, Assistant.

1875 .- Mr. L. J. Hamilton, Superintendent ; Miss Mary Crippen, Miss Jennie Starks, Assistants.

1876 .- Mr. C. W. Soulby, Superintendent ; Miss Iola Tilden, Miss Jennie Starks, Assistants.

1877 .- Mr. R. H. Goss, Superintendent ; Miss M. Cole, Miss Holmden, Assistants.

1878 .- Mr. A. L. Chandler, Superintendent ; Miss L. Palmenter, Miss Cole, Assistants.

1879-80 .- Mr. A. L. Chandler, Superintendent; Miss L. Palmenter, Miss Chaffee, Assistants.

THE PRESS OF VERNON.

The earliest newspaper in Veruon was established by a Mrs. Crawford (date not known), and entitled the Vernon Chronicle. The lady remained but one year, and disposed of the enterprise to Rev. D. W. Hammond, after which the stock of the office was removed from this place. After this for some years there was no newspaper published in the village, but in 1878 Abram Reeves began the publication of the Vernon Telephone, with the motto, "Independent in all things, neutral in nothing." Its motto was, however, unable to save it from a speedy oblivion. A company was then formed by Messrs. Garrison, A. L. Chandler, M. II. Read, E. W. Angel, and A. W. Nichols, who began the publication of the Vernon Herald. A. L. Chandler soon after purchased the enterprise, and in 1880 disposed of the paper to Lucins E. Gould, of Owosso, who continues its publication in Vernon. Under his management it has be- come one of the leading papers of the county, having al- ready a subscription list of nearly five hundred names.

CHURCH HISTORY.

CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH.

A Presbyterian Church was organized at the house of R. W. Holley as early as the spring of 1837, services having been held at the houses of Nelson K. Ferry, R. W. Holley, and William Garrison. In 1845 the church roll numbered thirty-seven communicants. In the year 1851, there having been many citizens who desired the organiza- tion of a Congregational Church, the old Presbyterian so- ciety was merged into a church of the above denomination. The total membership at the date of its first formation is not known, though the female members embraced the names of Mrs. Letitia Spaulding, Mrs. Olive Clark, Mrs. Mary Garrison, Mrs. Wolfen, and Mrs. Sarah Holley. The little flock continued to worship together in the school-house, alternating with the Baptist society, until 1863, when the building of a church edifice was begun, and completed the following year at a cost of two thousand and eighty five dollars and thirty-seven cents, as indicated by the treasurer's books.

Until 1861 they were without a stated pastor, the con- gregation having been furnished with occasional supplies, among whom was Rev. Grover Smith, who officiated at the school house. During the year 1861, Rev. E. T. Brauch became pastor, and continued his ministry until 1868, when Rev. Warren F. Day succeeded him, and remained one year. In 1869, Rev. II. H. Van Auken became pastor, and the following year Rev. Charles Barstow was installed. Ile remained five years, and was succeeded by Rev. W.

M. Kellogg in 1876, whose ministry extended over a period of but one year, when Rev. Warren Mooney filled the pul- pit during the year 1877. In 1878 the present pastor, Rev. E. W. Shaw, was called to preside over the flock.

Connected with the church is a very flourishing Sabbath- school, with a list of one hundred scholars, of which Peter Patchel is superintendent.

The Deacons of the church are H. J. Van Auken, John Patchel ; the Trustees, W. D. Garrison, H. J. Van Auken, Peter Patchel, D. Martin, Thomas McSoren ; Clerk, Peter Patehel; Treasurer, H. W. Randolph.

BAPTIST CHURCH.

The facts at command with reference to the Baptist Church of Vernon are derived from one of its oldest mem- bers, who depends entirely upon his memory, and may pos- sibly be at fault in some particulars. The church was first organized under Rev. John F. Swain, who was ordained as a licentiate in 1844. He removed from Owosso in the same year, aud filled a brief pastorate of six weeks, when his death occurred.

Among the early members were Jacob Wilkinson, C. R. Yerkes and wife, Joseph Parmenter and wife, Charles Wil- kinson and wife, Joseph Yerkes and wife, John Vincent, C. S. Pratt and wife, Mrs. Harrington, and Mrs. Barker, Ser- vices were first held in a log school-house in district No. 1, on the farm of C. S. Pratt. The death of Rev. John F. Swain occurred April 15, 1845. His successor was the Rev. William Pack, who was followed in his ministry by Rev. Mr. Delano. Rev. William White next officiated, and a licentiate, Rev. James Surrine, succeeded. He was subse- quently ordained and became the pastor. Rev. O. B. Call followed Mr. Surrine, during whose ministry in 1864 a house of worship was erected, at a cost of two thousand seven hundred dollars. During an interval succeeding this period the congregation were without a pastor, and de- pended upon occasional supplies, after which Rev. William White was recalled. Rev. E. R. Clark afterwards had the care of the flock, and remained during a pastorate of more than three years, after which the present incumbent, Rev. R. R. Coons, Jr., was installed, his ministry beginning in 1877.

The church has a membership of one hundred and fifteen, and is exceedingly prosperous. The deacons are C. R. Yerkes and Jacob Wilkinson. The trustees are C. R. Yerkes, Joseph Parmenter, Abram Crippen, Cheney But- ton, William Newberry, and Jacob Wilkinson.

METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH.

The records of the Methodist Episcopal Church contain no facts regarding its organization or subsequent progress, and its present members have very little information to impart.

A class was organized very early, and seems to have been connected for a while with the church in Venice. It was not flourishing, however, and for want of the elements of growth and permanency was ultimately disbanded. Its members worshiped with other denominations until 1868, when it was reorganized under the pastorate of Rev. Mr. Church. He was followed in his ministry by Rev. Mr.

Sanborn, after which the Rev. Charles Austin became pas- tor. Under the efficient labors of his successor, the Rev. Mr. Maywood, in 1871 a spacious church edifice was begun and completed ; the building committee having been George Goss, I. Van Auken, and Charles Dorrance.

The Rev. D. W. Hammond afterwards officiated, and was succeeded by Rev. N. W. Pierce in 1872. Rev. S. Bird was installed in 1873, and in 1876 Rev. J. G. Whitcomb was called to the pastorate, whose term of service extended to 1879, when Rev. William Taylor, the present pastor, assumed the charge.

The list of members embraces eighty-four names. The class-leaders are George Goss and Newton Strong. A grow- ing Sabbath-school numbering seventy-five scholars and teachers is connected with the church, under the superin- tendence of Newton Strong.

The present trustees are John Long, George Goss, John Hopkins, and Joshua Curtis.

GREENWOOD CEMETERY.

The Greenwood Cemetery Association was organized in March, 1862, with John Read as President, James Garri- son as Secretary, and Henry Conant as Treasurer. On the . 21st of April of that year two and thirty-five one-hundredths acres of land were purchased of Heury J. Van Auken for the sum of one hundred and seventy-six dollars. Much time and labor have been expended in the adornment of this burial-spot, which is ornamented with shade-trees, and laid out in walks that divide the well-kept lots and render it an attractive resort, while still maintaining its seeluded char- acter. It has an especial interest from the antiquity of some of the memorial-stones which mark the graves. Espe- cially noticeable is that of the earliest settler in Caledonia, John F. Swain, whose life suddenly terminated at the be- ginning of a career of ministerial labor at Vernon, in the year 1845.

The association has recently made an extension to the cemetery plat in the purchase of two acres of land adjoining, which is being rapidly improved and beautified.

The present trustees of the Greenwood Cemetery Asso- ciation are : President, John Read ; Secretary, A. F. West- cott ; Treasurer, A. Garrison.

BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES.

IIENRY JENNINGS VAN AKIN.

The representative of the Vau Akin family at present residing in Vernon is Henry Jennings, the fourth child of James and Elizabeth Van Akin, who was born July 13, 1823, near the village of Dublin, Sencea Co., N. Y., and after changes of residence with his parents in his native State ultimately removed to Vernon, Mich. Ile assisted in the clearing of the land his father had purchased until 1846, when, a taste for study having been encouraged, he entered the preparatory class at the University of Michi- gan, located at Ann Arbor. Soon discovering, however, a want of taste for the Latin nouns and verbs, he abandoned

the classics for the more active duties of life. The follow- ing year he entered the store of Osborn & Baker, of Hud- son, Lenawee Co., Mich., and the following year was sum- moned home by the death of his father.

He was, in 1848, married to Miss Jane Lytle, of Venice township, whose death occurred in 1850. Five years later

HENRY J. VAN AKIN.

be was married a second time, to Miss Margaret E. Holley, daughter of R. W. Holley, of Vernon. To them five children were born, the youngest of whom, Henry R., lived to the age of fourteen years, and died May 5, 1880. Mr. Van Akin was again afflicted in the loss of his second wife in 1875, and was united to the present Mrs. Van Akin in January, 1879, who was Miss Auna, daughter of Addison Stewart, of Flint, Mich. Mr. Van Akin still re- tains and lives upon the homestead, located upon the banks of the beautiful Shiawassee River, where cluster the most tender memories of his childhood. Among his early In- dian friends was Shaco, a famous warrior who fought Mad Anthony Wayne and frequently boasted the scalps he had taken in battle.

But two of the large family of eleven children of James Van Akiu survive, C. W. being a resident of Mount Ver- non, Ohio, and llenry J., the subject of this biography.

JAMES VAN AKIN.

James, the father of Henry Jennings Van Akin, was boru on the banks of the Delaware, in New Jersey, in 1794, and was the second son of John and Margaret West- fall Van Akin. Soon after his birth the family removed to the township of Phelps, Ontario Co., N. Y., from whence he became connected with the State militia, and was for six months engaged in active service at Buffalo, N. Y. On the

4th of September, 1817, he was married to Elizabeth Jen- nings, of the township of Rose, Wayne Co., N. Y., and there resided until 1836, when he removed to Michigan and located upon the land now occupied by his son, in the township of Vernon. Here he erected, in 1846, the earliest briek dwelling in the county, in which he lived until his death, on the 23d of February, 1848. Mrs. Van Akin married a second time, and survived until Feb. 17, 1864.

Of his eight brothers, Simeon and William II. H. were residents of Iludson, Lenawee Co., Mich .; Charles is still living in Ontario Co., N. Y .; Lawson and Dudley removed to Wayne Co., Mich .; Iliram found a home in Hudson, Mich .; and David and George are both deceased, the former having died in Washington, D. C., in 1875, and the latter in Ontario Co., N. Y., in 1870. The sister, Mrs. Lucien Vandemark, resided, until her death in 1876, in West Junius, N. Y.

The progenitor of the family, John Van Akin, was a patriot of the Revolution, and actively engaged in the border-wars of New York, when his foes were Tories and Indians. His experiences here were fraught with terror and danger, and the reminiscences of this early struggle were rehearsed with great zest to his descendants in after- years. He survived until 1854, and his wife's death oc- curred seven years later. The ancestors of Mr. Van Akin were of Holland descent, and emigrated direct from their native shores to the forests of America.

NATIIAN M. SMITH.

Nathan M. Smith's father, John K. Smith, was born in Auburn, N. Y., and came at a very carly date to Michi- gan, and settled in Oakland County. He was elected county clerk of Shiawassee County in 1840, and served the people acceptably for two years. He always took a lively interest in the affairs of his country, adhering politically to the principles of the Whigs.

He was a very estimable citizen, being a man among men, and highly regarded for his simplicity, probity, piety, and candor.

His son Nathan was born in Pontiac, Oakland Co., Mich., Nov. 22, 1827. He came with his father to Shiawassee County in 1837. In the Republican party he has always been a zealous and constant worker.

When a boy he attended a district school in Oakland County, and later was a member of the village school in Corunna. 1Fe served one year in the Mexican war.

During the year 1847 he was married to Miss Eliza Jane Horton, by whom he had seven children,-three boys and four girls,-all of whom are living.

Ile is a member of the Methodist Church, and is an earnest Christian man, and very energetic in all things per- taining to the church.

THIE township of Venice is designated in the United States survey as township No. 7 north, of range 4 east, and lies on the eastern boundary-line of the county. It is bounded on the north by Hazelton, south by Vernon, of which it was formerly a part, east by the township of Clay- ton in Genesee County, and west by Caledonia.

The surface is in general undulating, though large areas of comparatively level lands are found in some localities in the township. The soil is excellent, being a loam, inter- mixed in some parts with clay, and in other places with sand or gravel. A larger proportion of sand is found in the northwest part of the township than elsewhere, and in many other parts the clayey loam is mixed to some extent with gravel. Along the water-courses there is usually found a rich elay soil, which is very productive. In earlier years there was quite a large amount of swampy land, but much of this has now, by an excellent system of drainage, been converted into fertile fields.

Beech and maple are the prevailing woods, though oak, ash, black-walnut, and hickory are also found, and the tama- rack is the usual growth ou the swampy lands. Rush Bed Creek, the principal stream, rises in a marsh in the south border of the township, and flows northeast into the town- ship of IIazelton. A stream, formerly known as Stowell Creek, has its source also in the south, and flowing north and east joins the former creek in Hazelton. Webb Creek, which meanders through the south part, flows into the Shiawassee River.
