The place selected for the Mission was the highland west of Bear Creek on the southwest quarter of Section 6, about half a mile back from the bay. The lumber for the first building was carried up from the shore by seventy Indians and seven ponies. The number seven is certainly suggestive. Mr. N. Jarman is present owner of the Mission farm. The first two or three years the expense of the Mission was borne by the Presbyterian Board, but after the establishment of Indian schools by the Government the one at the Mission was adopted by the agent as a Govern- ment school, and Mr. Porter was paid from that source. About 1871 the funds for this purpose being exhausted the Mission was discontinued, and in 1875 Mr. Porter returned to his former Pennsylvania home.
In 1840 the county of Tonedagama was laid off consisting of that part of the State north of Township 36, north and west of Range 4 west and the county of Kishkonke, consisting of that part of the State between Tonedagama on the north and Township 32 on the south and west of Range 3.
In 1843 these names were changed to Emmet and Charlevoix. Delta and Michilimackinac were cut off on the north, leaving their northern boundary along the northern boundary Green Bay and Lake Michigan. These counties remained unorganized and attached to Michilimackinac until 1853.
During 1847 three meetings were held to elect town officers for the newly-created township of Peaine, which embraced the whole territory of the Beaver Islands. But these were ineffectual, and in 1851 the Mormons elected the officers and had entire control, so that in the winter of 1853 their leader, James J. Strang, was a member of the Legislature. He then secured the passage of a bill uniting the present Emmet and Charlevoix Counties under the name of Emmet. It was a bill wholly to his liking, and provided that the county canvass should be held at the village of St. James on Beaver Island, also that the county-seat of said county shall be fixed by the Board of Supervisors of said county.
In 1855 Theodore Wendall, late of Mackinaw, and John S. Dixon, of Charlevoix, went to Lansing and succeeded in securing the passage of a bill reorganizing Emmet County so as to include its former territory, except the Beavers and other islands. This

NOTE .- The date of the first settlement of Mormons on Beaver Island is somewhat indefinite, but it is known there were some fifteen families there in 1849, which number was increased during the next two or three years to about 1,200 inhabitants. James J. Strang was publicly crowned King, July 8, 1850. In the spring of 1856 Strang was shot and mortally wounded by two men by the names of Bedford and Wentworth, and was removed to his former home, Voree, Wisconsin, where he died a few days after. The colony was broken up soon after the death of Strang.
The first election was held at Little Traverse, on the first Tuesday in June, 1855. Under this act the towns of Little Traverse, La Croix and Bear Creek were organized.
In Little Traverse Township the first town meeting was held at the Indian school-house at Little Traverse on the first Tuesday in May.
La Croix included all the county north of the township line between Town 36 and 37 north and west of Range line between Ranges 4 and 5. The first town meeting was held at the Indian school-house in the village of La Croix. Bear Creek embraced Town 34 north of Range 4, 5 and 6 west. The first election being held at the house of Andrew Porter.
The town of Charlevoix included Town 34, north of Range 8 west and Town 33 north of Range 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9 west. The first town meeting was held at the house of John S. Dixon.
The county-seat was established at Mackinaw City, but the county business was transacted at Little Traverse until 1867, when the county-seat was removed to Charlevoix. On the organization of Charlevoix County in 1869 the county-seat of Emmet was returned to Little Traverse as if by common con- sent, where it still remains, although an effort is now being made in the Legislature of 1895 to secure its removal to Petos- key. The first meeting of the Board of Supervisors was held in October, 1855, but the records are silent in regard to it.
The first election provided for was not held in regard to townships except Charlevoix, when Galen B. Cole was elected supervisor and of course constituted the County Board of Super- visors. By this "Board " towns were organized, assessment rolls equalized, bills paid and adjournment taken.
. The present township organizations of Emmet County are as follows :-

The lands of the county were largely reserved from entry, on account of treaty stipulations, until August, 1874, when the Eastern tier of township were brought into market, and on April 15, 1875, the remainder of the county was thrown open to actual settlers under the homestead act. The white population of the county was then only about 150, but when the reserve land could be entered there were over 800 claims filed during the first three
During the summer and fall of 1875, the settlers came fast. There were no roads hardly worthy of mention. They cut their way through the forest, built log houses, and with very little thought as to subsistence, being content only on securing their land. There were none near who could supply them pro- visions or give them employment. The consequence was, that when the first means were exhausted their condition became in most cases wretched. The rush continued through 1876, and early in the winter of 1876-77 great destitution prevailed. Com- mittees were made up, subscriptions and donations solicited, and even the Legislature invoked for relief.
These hard times had a reverse effect on settlement. Many had to move off their claims. Some who were soldiers had only a short stay to make to prove up, and then they left. But it was not long until the difficulty was overcome, and to-day may be seen good farms occupied by some of those who were first in their respective settlements.
RAILROADS.
The Grand Rapids and Indiana Railroad was built to Petoskey, commencing business in the spring of 1874. In 1876 it was extended to Bay View, and in 1882 to the straits. The line from Bay View to Mackinaw City taking the name of the Grand Rapids, Indiana and Mackinaw line. The Harbor Springs branch was finished in 1880.
The Chicago and West Michigan line was extended from Traverse City to Bay View in 1892.
These facilities for travel greatly increased the annual rush of visitors to these beautiful northern resorts, of which Petoskey, Bay View, Wequetonsing, Harbor Springs, Harbor Point, and Mackinaw City, all lie within Emmet county. The settlers were thus benefited in having a home market created for their products.
NEWSPAPERS.
The Emmet County Democrat was first issued April 30, 1875, by Rozelle Rose, the pioneer editor and publishers of the county. The Petoskey Record was issued June 20, 1878, by James Buckley, who had associated himself with George A. Mosher, a practical printer. The paper has had several proprietors, the present one being Capt. J. C. Bontecon.
The Harbor Springs Republican was the first paper published in that village, and made its first appearance in May, 1876, under the ownership of Warren Bowen. Mr. L. A. Clark, the present owner, purchased Mr. Bowen's interest in September of that year, and has since controlled the publication.
The Emmet County Independent was started at Harbor Springs in 1878 by Chas. S. Hampton, editor and proprietor, and in June, 1882, changed to the Northern Independent. It has since been removed to Petoskey. During the summer Mr. Hampton issues the Daily Resorter, a rose-colored sheet, with the latest resort news tersely stated.
Petoskey .- The village (now city) of Petoskey was named in honor of one of the original owners of the land there who had spent more than four score years in the vicinity, Ignatius Petoskey or Neyas Pe-to-se-ga. The rapidity with which this city has emerged from the bushy fields once cultivated by the Indians, where the first location was made and where now may be found the most modern appliances for business and comfort, is truly wonderful. Its situation on an eminence gives an exten- sive view in almost every direction, and gives remarkable health- fulness.
In 1873 Fox & Rose commenced selling goods in a small log store near the house of Ignatius Petoskey, and during the
shanty which stood north of the ground occupied by the Shirk Block. This building served several useful purposes, such as school-house, church and hall, and was sold at auction in 1875 for $37. The first lawyer was D. R. Jaslin. C. J. Pailthorp, afterwards member of the Legislature and Circuit Judge, located here in April, 1875, and is the senior attorney of the county. The first white child born in the village was a daughter to Mr. and Mrs. Stanley Carter.
In 1876 the Methodist Camp Meeting Association located at Bay View and gave much prosperity to the village.
The first Presbyterian Church of Petoskey has a history connected with the Bear Creek Indian Mission in 1852. Their church building at Petoskey was dedicated August 23, 1876, having been built largely by the efforts of Rev. John Redpath, who had also been instrumental in the erection of churches at Cadillac, Boyne Falls, Crofton and Boyne City. The Methodist Episcopal Church also dates back to missionary efforts among the Indians. In the winter of 1874-75 Rev. Geo. M. Cole of the Charlevoix M. E. Church came to preach to the Indians. The foundation of their church was laid in 1876. The Evan- gelical and United Brethren organized in 1879. The German Methodists in 1881, and the Episcopal Society was formed in 1880.
The first Baptist Society was started in May, 1881, and fully organized the following August.
The present Catholic Church was consecrated Christmas Day, 1880, though the Catholics had a missionary station here many years before.
The first bank in Emmet County was established in the spring of 1878 by P. B. Wachtel.
Petoskey was incorporated as a village in February, 1879, and as a city by the Legislature in 1895.
Harbor Springs .- This place was formerly called "Little Traverse," but was incorporated as a village in 1881. Some mention of its earlier history has already been made. In 1853 Richard Cooper opened a small store for Captain Kirkland, and Charles R. Wright came the same year, being now the oldest resident of the white race. In 1861 Andrew J. Blackbird was commissioned postmaster, and held that office until 1877. He is one of the Ottawa Indians, who adopted the ways of civilized life and obtained an education. He was the first Register of Deeds elected in the county. His sister, Margaret Boyd, her Indian name being Ogabejigokeve, meaning " woman of all-day," has had an eventful life, spent largely in the interest and improve- ment of her race.
The great immigration in 1875-76, following the entry of the Government lands, made improvements at Harbor Springs. The low houses of the Indians, crowded together in irregular blocks, gave way to more pretentious streets, houses and busi- ness places. In the winter of 1876 W. E. Parker built a saw- mill and Col. Dickinson built the Emmet House.
The first graded school was taught by C. S. Hampton, now of Petoskey.
The Methodist Episcopal Society was started in September, 1876, and their church was finished in 1882.
The Presbyterian Church dates from 1878, and their church building was erected in 1881.
The Baptist Society was organized in 1879, and a church building dedicated in December, 1883.
St. John's Episcopal Society was started, and in July, 1883, a chapel was dedicated.
The Catholic Church, which forms, with its school, such a striking figure in the midst of the village, has already been mentioned. G. E. S.
