TREMBLE CREEK.

A settlement was made as appears by a Captain Francois Marsac in about 1798, at Trem- ble Creek, the stream near New Baltimore, on the Ridge Road, aad also prior to 1796, at Swan Creek, some four miles west of New Baltimore.

From the early settlement of that section a tradition has been handed down, and this tradition has many believers even now, that an English Captain or Lieutenant, who had been largely successful in gathering together a quantity of bullion, being compelled to flee from the Indians, buried his treasure in the earth, about a mile from the present isle of New Bal- timore; that he was either killed by the Indians, or died from exposure, and the secret of his treasure's hiding place died with him. Many searches have been made by infatuated individu- als after this treasure, and many believe that the ghostly sha de of the deceased Captain guards the treasure-trove so jealously, and has such power of moving its location, that all search is in vain.

Fair Haven, in Ira Township, thirty miles south of Port Huron, on Anchor Bay, is one of the early settlements of St. Clair. It has four churches, viz. : Catholic, Methodist, Luth- eran, and Reform. Its industries comprise saw and grist mills. The school is found there also.

PERSONAL HISTORY.

Following are the biographical sketches of many of the most prominent citizens of the township:

PATRICK B. FLAHERTY, P. O. Fair Haven, born in Ireland October 12, 1841. His parents emigrated in 1842, first locating in Montreal, Province Lower Canada, where they remained until 1847, when they re- moved to Rochester, N. Y. At nine years of age, he began work in a stave mill in that city, earning his own living. thus learning the first lesson in the battle of life. Ile acquired a fair education, improving his leisure time in study and in night schools. Remaining in the mill, his industry and proficiency was acknowledged by his employers, paying him man's wages when only thirteen years of age. lle remained in the mill until 1864, when he spent two years traveling in the West, and in 1866 located in Fair Haven. in the employ of Mr. Il. C. Schnoor, where he is now foreman of his immense business. Married September 29, 1866. to Miss Elizabeth Dolan, of Lachine. Lower Canada. They have six children-Elizabeth. John H., Edward, Joseph, Patrick Il. and Thomas. Elizabeth is now at school in Medina, N. Y. Ilis steady habits are shown by the fact that all the labor of his life thus far has been for only two firms, and still farther by a comfortable home and cash balance in bank. Socially, he will never be forgotten, having organized the first benevolent and Christian society of St. Ignatius in Rochester, of which he was President and Secretary eight years. He has labored to establish another school in Fair Haven, which is becoming a necessity, and has here filled the of- fice of Superintendent of schools. A warm hearted, generous friend of education.

TIENRY MEYER, P. O. Fair Haven, was born in the city of Hanover, Germany. January 1. 1828. Re- ceiving a common school education. he served an apprenticeship at carpenter's trade, which he followed until 1864. Emigrated in 1851, arriving in Detroit in August of that year, entering the employ of Mr. James Shear- ier, contractor and builder, in whose service he remained twelve years, during which time he purchased a farm of eighty acres in Section 11, Town 3 north, Range 15 cast. ITe was married July 27, 1856, to Miss Mary Beckman, of Detroit, also of German parentage. They have twelve children-Henry F., August W., Theo- dore, Ernest C., Ida, Augusta, Louisa, Albert, Alwina, Mary, Emil and Frederick W., all at home. Moved on the farm in January, 1864, where he now resides, and in 1865 was elected Town Treasurer, which office he held for eight successive years; also held the office of Supervisor eight years. Resigning the office of super- visor, he was appointed Enumerator for Ira Township for taking the tenth census. The financial prosperity and genial natures of the family are evidence of kind home government and the wise ruling of so large a family has also contributed to the welfare of the neighborhood. To keep his boys at home and profitably employed. a flouring mill was built and is financially successful, and a great convenience to the town. IIis genial nature and public spirit has made all who know him his friends.

CHARLES ROSE, P. O. Fair Haven, was born in Montreal, Lower Canada. February 14, 1920; son of Stephen Rose, who came to Fair Haven October, 18:2, locating on Section 23, in Township 3 north, Range 15 cast. Because of the disadvantages of pioncer life, he arguired no education whatever. Early in life, work- ing at boat-buikling, he learned the trade of ship carpenter, and for many years managed a yard of his own, during which time he built and launched many a finely constructed and fully equipped craft. Failing health and advancing age caused him, in 1876, to quit the business; and the fine property he now owns attests to his industry and real worth. He was married by Rev. Peter Laferve, Bishop of Detroit, November 20, 1843, in Detroit, to Miss Eleanore Mneneer. They have five children-Mary, now Mrs. John Tart; Eleanore, now Mrs. Charles Beauvias: Colina. now Mrs. Samuel Smith; Cophers and Genevieve, still at home. All the present

surroundings of Mr. Rose's home give evidence of his innate worth.

HENRY C. SCHNOOR, merchant and manufacturer, P. O. Fair Haven, is a native of Germany, and was born February 7, 1835. He emigrated to this country in 1853, and came to Detroit, where he worked at

the cooper's trade two years, then came to New Baltimore and was engaged in business with his brother two years, then came to Fair Haven and engaged in mercantile business. He paid $1,000 for the property and $ 100 for the stock of goods, and since then has successfully carried on the business here. He carries a large stock of goods and has a large trade. In 1867, he bought the saw mill of William Jenny and converted it into a stave, heading and humber mill and established his present business, and since then for the past fifteen years has built up and carried on a large, successful and extensive business, employing in his mills, boats and busi- ness between 100 and 200 hands. His logs come mostly from Canada. He has his own steam vessels for freighting his goods, which find markets in the East, West and South. He also has a saw and planing mill for sawing and dressing lumber, in connection with his manufactory. He is also engaged in the stave, hoop and heading business at Wallaceburg. Canada. Mr. Schnoor started in life without anything, and has become by his energy, one of the most successful business men in the county. In ISSS, he married Miss Louisa Kruse. a native of Germany. They have nine children-four sons and five daughters-William, Bernard, George, Henry. Alvina, Louisa, Clara. Hattie and Bessie.
