EARLY TOWNSHIP ROADS.

The earliest road that traversed the township of Venice was surveyed by Nelson Ferry, in June, 1840, and began at the northwest corner of seetion 31, from whence it pursued a northerly course to the west quarter post of section 18, having been two and a half miles in length. The second road began at the quarter post on the west line of section 32, and ran north to the quarter post on the west line of section 29; thence north to a point intersecting a road run- ning east and west through sections 7, 8, 9, and 10. It was surveyed Nov. 21, 1840, by Nelson Ferry ; Heman Harrington and Nelson Ferry having been highway com- missioners. The third road began at the northwest corner of section 20, and pursued a southerly course to the northeast corner of section 23. The survey was made by Nelson Ferry, on the 9th, 10th, and 12th of March, 1841. A fourth road was surveyed at the same date, be- ginning on the southeast corner of section 33 and termi- nating at the northeast corner of section 4, its length being six miles.

SCHOOLS.

The earliest school in the township was taught in the year 1840, at the house of Nelson Ferry, by his daughter, Miss Frances Ferry, an addition having been built to his house for the purpose. Meanwhile a frame school build- ing, familiarly known in after-years as the " old red school- house," was erected on section 32, and Mr. Ferry himself presided as the teacher of the district. Some time after- wards a school was opened in a barn belonging to Charles Wilkinson, on section 7, and was taught by Miss Julia Card. The school-house in this district, which was the second built in the township, was erected in 1850, the first teacher. having been Miss Celia Hawkins, now Mrs. James B. Wheeler, of Corunna.

The present school territory of the township is divided into eight whole districts. The present directors are John Davids, George Chavey, Lewis Bugea, A. J. Muzzy, Rolla Turk, Charles Shipman, A. J. Augsbury, and John Gauss- ley. The total value of school property in the town- ship is three thousand two hundred and seventy-three dol- lars, which includes one brick, one log, and six frame school buildings.

BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES.

LITTLE

HON. F. G. BAILEY.

Among the names that are prominently connected with the development, progress, and welfare of Shiawassee County is that of F. G. Bailey. Having occupied some. public position the whole time during the last thirty years has given him a large experience, which has contributed very much to his success and greatly to the advantage of the public. He was born in the city of Bath, England, and at the age of four years came to the United States with his parents, who first made New York City their home and afterwards removed to Rochester, N. Y. When he was eighteen years of age he came to IHadley, Lapeer Co., Mich., where he engaged in teaching, which was for several years his principal business. Ill health rendered an abandon- ment of his profession necessary, and he then engaged in mercantile business in Goodrich, Genesee Co., Mich., from where he removed to Shiawassee County in 1860, and eu- gaged in farming. Ill health again rendered a change necessary, and he removed to Keweenaw Co., Mich., and engaged in mereantile business. He was afterwards ap- pointed freight agent by the Central Mining Company, Eagle Harbor, for whom he ereeted an extensive wharf and warehouses, and conducted the business until 1866. Hle then returned to his farm in Venice. He has served his township as supervisor and as elerk for several ternis. Ile was one of the charter members of the State Grange, and is vice-president of the Shiawassee Mutual Insurance Company, and also one of the directors of the Shiawassee Agricul- tural Association. lle was elected member of the Legisla- ture for 1873, also again for 1875. Ile was appointed on Committee on State Affairs and was the acting chairman

during the latter part of the session of 1873, also member of Committee on Mines and Minerals. He was again ap- pointed in 1875 on Committee on State Affairs, also made chairman of Committee on Education. He was the intro- dueer of the bill by which the three highway commissioners were changed to one, securing more effective services and greatly reducing the expense ; also offered an amendment and seeured its passage authorizing the purchase of State bonds before maturity by the treasurer, by which the idle millions in the State treasury were used in payment of State bouds and relieved the people of the payment of further interest. In 1876, in consequence of the death of his eldest son and ill health, he refused to accept any publie position that might be tendered him, and sinee which has retired from active public life.

ALONZO II. OWENS.

Alonzo II. Owens was born in Oneida County, State of New York, Dec. 5, 1823. llis father was a native of Massachusetts, and removed to the Mohawk Valley, New York, in the year 1800. Ile was a gentleman of education, and used his scholarly ability in teaching, as he was very successful in imparting his knowledge. He continued in the profession many years, although his death occurred at an early age, when Alonzo was in his infancy.

Mrs. Owens, who was a native of Montgomery Co., N. Y., married again when her son was three years of age. Very soon after this they removed to Western New York,

remaining there until Alonzo was eleven years of age. About this time his stepfather met with severe losses in property and emigrated to Michigan, arriving in Grand Blane on the 1st of August, 1835, where he purchased one hundred and sixty acres of land in an almost unbroken wilderness. Alonzo passed his youth as did the sons of all the early pioneers, toiling early and late, helping to clear the land, hunting the cattle, driving the oxen, etc., until he reached the age of sixteen, when his stepfather deeded his farm to his eldest son, obtaining a life-lease for himself and wife. He was thus early thrown upon his own resources. Many were the obstacles which he con- stantly encountered, but " a brave soul is a thing which all things serve;" so, through great perseverance, with the encouragement of a devoted mother, he was enabled to bear his lot with great bravery. He was passionately fond of reading, and spent his leisure time perusing historical works; and as agrienlture was the calling he had followed and was still inclined to pursue, he was interested in all books pertaining to this subject and a thorough reader of many agricultural periodicals, the Albany Cultivator, from the beginning of his career as a farmer, being always found among his daily readings.

He attended a district school at the then small village of Flint, paying his way by working for his board,-during the summer months being employed on the farm. In 1843 he went to Venice, and for one year was in the employ of Daniel J. Lipe, and was remunerated for his services by forty acres of uncleared land. In the year 1845 he took up his abode with this family, improving his land, sowing three acres of wheat, and in the spring of the following year ereeted a temporary building, in which he lived by himself until the spring of 1847, when he im- proved this rude structure by remodeling and building an addition to it, giving the house a neat and pretty cot- tage appearance, suggestive of a home with all that name implies. Thereupon he made a bold attack upon Capt. John Davids, one of the first settlers of Corunna, asking for his daughter in marriage. The proposition was ac- cepted, the engagement short, and Miss Catharine Davids became Mrs. Owens and graced the new home.

In the year 1851 he purchased the east half of northeast quarter of section 28, one mile from his first home. Here he built a frame residence, and occupied it in May, 1852, where he still resides. In January, 1876, he purchased eighty additional acres, thirty of which were occupied by the Rush Bed swamp, which has been thoroughly drained by a ditch, ten feet wide and four feet deep, running through the centre, besides three hundred rods of under- drains. IIis farm is also well supplied with springs, and is considered one of the best and most desirable in this part of the State, while his residence and buildings are of the best, beautifully located, with picturesque landscape and surroundings.

Unfortunately, Mr. Owens' wife soon after their marriage became an invalid, and remained one until her death, which occurred in June, 1856. On the 13th of May, 1857, he was united in marriage to Miss Nancy Ann Crisman, of Rome, N. Y., by whom he had two children,-Cynthia, born June 21, 1858, and Crisman A., born June 9, 1862.

But again the angel of death visited his home, and on the 14th of June, 1862, his beloved companion was taken from him, leaving the two little ones with their father, the eldest being four years and the baby five days old. This blow was a severe one, but persuaded by his friends he remained on his farm, caring for and keeping his little family to- gether; but in the early fall of 1862 he had again to drink from sorrow's cup, little Cynthia leaving him to join her mother, who had gone before. Then, indeed, the sunshine seemed to have gone from his life, but he gloouily struggled along its pathway until the 18th of November, 1864, when he was again married to Miss Mary E. Lindley, of Venice, Mich., though a native of Rochester, N. Y. On the 15th of September, 1875, a daughter was born to them and named Edith.

Mr. Owens is not sectarian in his religious views, but a believer in the Christian faith and an active worker in the Sabbath-school, contributing his means and influence to the cause. He donated a beautiful grove of three acres, to be used for pienies and out-door pleasures.

In politics he was, until the fall of 1878, a Democrat, since when he has acted with the Nationals. He has never sought office, but held a number of important positions, viz. : school inspector, township superintendent, and justice of the peace.

Mr. Owens' grandparents were soldiers in the war of the Revolution, and during the late Rebellion he was known as a War Democrat, contributing liberally to help his town fill her quota and provide for the war-widows. His kind and sympathetic heart often took him to visit the sick, where he was of great help in caring for their wants,-a very desirable qualification for those pioneer days.

CHAPTER LXIV.

WOODHULL TOWNSHIP .*

Origin of the Township Name-Natural Features-Settlement and Incideuts-Township Organization and List of Officers-Early Schools-Religious Societies.

THE township of Woodhull was named in honor of the family of Joseph Woodhull, whose members were its first settlers. At the time of its organization, it embraced, in addition to its present territory, that which is now com- prised within the limits of the township of Sciota, that township having been set off from it Feb. 16, 1842.

Woodhull presents nearly all the diversity in natural features peculiar to Michigan. There are level tracts and broken and upright ridges, and in contrast, considerable low and swampy land. There are also heavily-timbered tracts surrounding the more open and scantily-wooded por- tions. In the northern part the soil is somewhat heavy, while in the southern part it is light and sandy. The Looking-Glass River flows through the northern part, while Vermilion Creek waters the southern portions. The streams afford good draining facilities for the township, and need

only to be taken advantage of in order to make valuable much land at present comparatively worthless.

SETTLEMENT AND INCIDENTS.

On the Ist day of November, 1836, John and Josephus Woodhull (brothers) reached the little log cabin then known as Laing's tavern. It was probably the first build- ing erected in the village of Laingsburg. It was a mere shanty of logs, without floor other than the ground, with no chimney save a hole in the roof, while stones set up in one corner served as a fireplace. Ilere having met a pro- fessional " land-looker" by the name of Johnson, they em- ployed him as guide. They crossed the river on a raft, south of the place now spanned by the bridge, and landed between the " forks," as the locality was known in an early day. After taking the description of certain portions of sections 5 and 9, now in the township of Woodhull, the brothers proceeded with all haste to Detroit. But it seems the man whom they had employed as a guide was one who in those days was called a " land-shark," but in the refined phraseology of more modern days would be termed a man of business capacity and shrewdness. They found they had been preceded by a gentleman who had por- chased from the guide the minutes of the same land which they wished to enter. They finally bonght him off for twenty dollars, and after waiting two days succeeded in getting the duplicates of their land.

John Woodhull entered the northeast quarter of scetion 9. Josephus Woodhull entered two hundred and forty aeres of section 4, comprising the southeast quarter and the east half of the southwest quarter. They then returned to the frontier with two teams well loaded with provisions, and the necessary implements and tools for building a house and commencing life in their new home. On their return they were accompanied by William Hildreth, a young man in the employ of Josephus Woodhull. While these two came into the township and built a cabin John Woodhull returned to Nankin, Wayne Co., for the rest of the family.

Josephns Woodhull and William Hildreth therefore built the first house in the township of Woodhull. The work was commenced and the first tree felled on the 2d day of December, 1836. The honse was built entirely of logs, except the door, which was made of the lumber of a dry- goods box brought from the State of New York. It was sixteen by twenty feet, with a loft, which was reached by means of a ladder hung by a hinge, in order that it might be raised up to the ceiling out of the way. While the house was building, the weather was exceedingly disagree- able, being stormy and cold, and in addition to a lack of help this also tended to retard its completion. But it was finally finished, and a bright day it was for those who had toiled many days in its construction (sleeping through the long cold nights of the winter under a wagon) when it was ready for occupancy. It stood on the north part of the east half of the southwest quarter of section 4.

Between Christmas and New Year John Woodhull re- turned, bringing his parents and sister, his wife and three children. The settlement at this time, therefore, consisted of ten persons.

The winter was long and severe. The snow lay deep,

month after month, until near the 1st of April. The feed for the stock was exhausted, and they were compelled then to buy hay for six dollars per ton, which they hauled twenty-three miles. Oats cost one dollar and sixty-three cents per bushel, potatoes one dollar and twenty-five cents per bushel, and pork twenty-five cents per pound. In the spring Josephus Woodhull bought a load of potatoes of Benjamin Cushing, who lived at Brighton. He planted one-half acre, and cultivated them during the summer with the greatest care, but owing to the heavy sward, which had not yet decomposed, he received but fifteen bushels in re- turn. Joseph Woodhull, the father of John and Josephus Woodhull, died during the sickly season of 1840. His wife died in 1859, in the eighty-fifth year of her age. John Woodhull, whose family, as stated, consisted of a wife and three children, died in 1855. His wife went to Wisconsin with a daughter, who married Walter Stone. A son, Zenus S. Woodhull, still lives in the township.

Joseph Hildreth, the employee of Josephus Woodhull, removed to Muskegon after living a number of years in this county. His wife, who came to the township in 1838, died in the fall of that year. Hers was the first death in Woodhull. She was buried on the farm of Josephus Woodhull. At this place one-half acre of land was after- wards set off as a publie cemetery.

Josephus Woodhull was a bachelor when he came to Michigan. Ile married Phoebe Ann Laing, whose parents were among the founders of Laingsburg.

In the early spring of 1837, Benjamin Lewitt and Abram Schermerhorn, and their families, came to Wood- hull. Mr. Lewitt purchased all of fractional section 5 ex- cept forty aeres, and employed Mr. Schermerhorn to work for him. To him he sold the east half of the northwest quarter of section 5 soon afterwards. In about three years after coming to the township Mrs. Lewitt died, and was buried on the farm. Mr. Lewitt then moved to Laings- burg. In 1840 his brothers, John, Thomas, and William, with their mother and two sisters, came in and occupied this land. But the old lady soon died, after which Thomas and the two sisters returned to England. Abram Scher- merhorn sold his land to Joseph Woodhull aud moved away.
