So when there was a game , as there usually was, everyone came . No bleachers , they all stood or sat on the ground to watch and cheer . 423 Howell Sports There were many good ball teams after the turn of the century and this is one of the better ones posing in front of the East Ward school near the athletic field . Typical football uniform 1918. Notice the shoes, hip pads and helmet . The helmet , made of soft padded leather could be folded up 426 after the game and put in your hip pocket when you went home to supper. Howell High school's first football team started in 1896. Howell Sports By DUANE ZEMPER A group of people who spent most of their time clearing land, breaking ground , and gathering fieldstones had little time for team sports, if there had been any in the early days of the territor y recently called Livingston County. Hunting and fishing were surely enjoyed by those hardy people but it was also a necessit y to fill the larder for tomorrow and the winter . Other than this there was not much we would consider sport until after the Civil War when a game came from the East called Croquet. Croquet was a relatively simple game, still played today, where you hit a round wooden ball with a wooden mallet through wire arches called wickets , stuck in the ground . Quite a bit of skill was acquired by some of the old timers in town though they didn't have the smooth lawns which we have today . A few other sports came along which were a natural for every area . Horse shoe pitching was a natural , as any blacksmith shop could furnish all the used shoes needed for free . Archery , too, was relevant because of the memories of the old timers , of the weapons used by the Indians in hunting their game . About 1890 there was a team game which was working its way west. The game was called baseball-Hurrah! We at last have started a team sport in our area . Baseball flourished quickly in Howell, first as community teams playing against each other and soon after also having teams fielded by high schools who played each other in regularly scheduled games . When one of these teams were playing a team in another town, it was necessary for them to travel to that town by horse and wagon, or for the farther towns, they traveled by train . It could be a joyous ride home with singing and cheers , or a quiet glum ride after a loss. Another team sport started here just a few year s later . About 1893 we find the first recorded uniformed team for football called the Oceola Giants . They played other teams in the area with great success . Howell High School fielded its first football team in 1896. The coach was a colored man who had played at the University of Michigan his name was Mitchell. Howell High had man y good teams and many great players for the area , but it was 59 years (1955 ) before they finally had an undefeated and untied football season . After the turn of the century , baseball was very strong in Howell. In 1904 the Howell team , backboned by Bert Tooley, Roy and Ray Newcombe, Morgan, Jewitt and the Young brothers , won almost everything except two of the four gam es they played with Flint High School. Each claiming the state championship, but tied in wins, it was decided that a final game should be played in Durand , as a neutral field. A special train was put on the Ann Arbor Railroad to carry the fans and most of the merchants closed their stores for the day to attend the game . Howell lost he game 9-7 and it was a long train ride home. However, they came back the next year in 1905 and claimed the state championship , beating all comers who would meet them . The years of 1910-11 were also great years for Howell, although many of their great players were graduated but still not out of baseball . Many of the very good players of the 1904 and 1905 teams continued in baseball after high school. Bert Tooley played with the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1911-12. Ray Newcombe played 427 Coach Paul Bennetts first year at Howell, 1926. This is his team which went to the final game of the State championship. with the Southern Mich. Prof. League in Bay City, and Roy Newcombe played with the Copper Country Prof. League in the upper peninsula. Hank Perry , also of Howell, played one year with the Detroit Tigers. Ruy Newcombe was signed by the Tigers to play the next year but his wife at that time (his first wife) talked him into leaving baseball. The pictures from that era are spiced with pictures of Ty Cobb, the Detroit Tiger Hall of Fame player , who spent a great deal of time hunting and fishing in the Howell area. Baskeball got its start about 1908 when a young man who was a clerk in McPherson's Store gathered a group of young men together to organize our first team . His name was Gus Schmidt, later a Howell Florist , who started the " Howell Melon." His team, with Wm. McPherson III , Emil Bode, Chas. Vanwinkle and other very athletic young men of the town had very great success in the new sport which, at this time, was not much past the " peach basket " game . The Howell High School basketball team first started about 1912.T hey played their games in the old roller skating rink at the spot where Mike Hagman 's Gas Station is now, across from McPherson Bank on Michigan A venue . The high school team had no gym to play their games in the old Central School, but when the new school was built in 1921 on Michigan Avenue, the team took over with Ford Beckwith , Garland, Bremer , Strobel, Edwards, Hubble, Cotter and Gregory. 428 That first year, 1922-23 the state high school athletic association figured a way to have a state championship tourney . Howell was second in the State Class "B" final game. The team of 1926-27 also were second in the state championship game . This was the first basketball team coached by Paul Bennett , in his first year as coach , one of the finest coaches if not the finest , in Michigan high school history . The basketball teams of the early '30's were very good as were the middle '30's with Dick Reiner, Foley , Dick Ross and others . The football team in 1922w as a very good team coached by Walt Groff. The players were Ford Beckwith , captain ; Herman Heeg, Cotter, Garland, the Hubble boys, the Weimaster boys, Cook, Lawson, Brogan , Brady, Pless , and Newman. In 1929, a math teacher was hired, whose ambition was to have a track team in the school. He was destined to be one of the great coaches of Howell. His name was Loren Willis. He sta rted that year , and by 1940 his won-lost record in dual meets was 23 wins and 12 losses . In his year s as Howell track coach he never had a losing season . After 29 years, he retired from Howell and moved to California with a 92-38 record . He coached his team to three regional championships in later years and was always respectable in the state meet. Some of his boys that I recall particularly were, Leo Rancour-fast, great athlete . Bob McMacken-sprinter , shot putter, great athlete . Doug Stinger-hurdler, varsity record 15 years. George Hasbrouck, state champion ½ mile. Bob Parks-state champion ¼ mile, now coach E.M .U. Stan Cook and Gehringer , sprinters (varsity record holders). Dick McMacken, state champ (2 years ), shot put. Carmen Kypke, pole vault , varsity record for 20 years. Others were Dan Chapel, Bede Robertson , Bill Deaner , Bill Hilton and B .. Weiland, J . Young, and many others . After the great team in 1933, football was quite average in Howell until after the war , when superintendent John Page brought in a coach whose name was John Munn. Munn had the makings of a good team when Fowlerville took him away from us. He later became superintendent of schools in the Fowlerville area . To take his place , John Page found Harold Fulk who had played as a lineman for U. of M. in the Rose Bowl. Fulk took over like a storm and in 1952 we beat Charlotte for the first time since 1933 and had a winning season . By 1954, they lost only two gam es and finally in 1955, Howell had their first undefeated and untied season in history , since 1896. Some of his players that I recall were-Bob McMacken , Doug Stringer , Sonny Brigham , John Mccloskey (all state Football began to be a big sport around this area before 1900. The first high school team was formed in 1896. This is the oldest picture available of a uniformed team. It was an independent team called the Oceola Giants . Look at the size of that football! '55), Jack Schultheis , Geo. Bennett , Orin Kendall , Boyd Shertzer , Bob Meyers , Bill Barr , Eldon Haller, Marshall Borden, Oliver Albright , Jim Rogers , John Beckwith, Chas. Brigham, Geo. Dunn, Bill Hilton, Bill McQuillan, Dick McMacken, and probably two of his greatest , Jesse Mack and Ed Bailer . There were many, many more great guys, including Dick St. Onge, Merle Schrepfer , Bruce and Jim Campbell, Tom Westphal , Matson-it could go on forever. After the 1930's, basketball was 50-50u ntil 1948. In that year the great ungainly Dick Hagni who was 6'4" and considered a giant in those days , became coordinated . That year was the last winning season until 1974.H agni broke the school scoring record with 27 points in one game. The former record , set by Harry Pierce, was 24 points. Pierce later went on to play with C.M.U. In 1964-5 we had pretty good ball teams which were 8-8. These were the first non-losing teams since 1948. The standbys on these teams were Tom Hicks, Gar y Kowalski, Dick McKeon, Steve Zemper , Bill Simmons , Dave McClernon, Tom Itsell and others. If Jim Simmons , a dead eye, had not graduated a little earlier , this could have been a championship team . Finally-a state championship. About two years after Willis left , we were able to get a very good track and cross-country coach . Bob Bloomer came out of E .M.U. to Howell and started a program which in its first year brought the cross-country state championship to 429 Howell. Top runners in the state meet were: Jack Hardy, Lynn McKee, Rick Zemper, Ralph Musson, Rick Gehringer, Rick Harris, and Matt Brady. In 1960 they came back with Zemper, Musson, Gehringer, to win the state meet for the second year in a row and they didn't have a senior on the team. However, when they came to their last year-whether from injuries or cockiness they ended up eighth . Bloomer followed through in track the next two years training boys as-Rick Zemper, Huron Relays champ, C.M.U. relays and River Rouge champ, regional champion and state champion and state record holder. Pat Eaton, second in the state hurdles and still varsity record holder . Rick Dunn, varsity records in 100 yard, 220 yard, 440 yard, and long jump . Other good men were Bob Probstfeld, Jim Anderson, Gary Kowalski, and Steve Zemper who earned his varsity letter as a freshman in the hurdles although he was trained as a distance man but was too young to run, according to state rules. In 1968w e had a very good team headed by Bob Anderson who broke Rick Dunn's varsity records in the 100, 220, and 440. In 1942, a new football coach was brought in from Fenton. His name was Don York and he immediately made his presence felt. Although he was a little man, Don demanded discipline and respect. The boys took hold and only lost two Gus Schmidt, later a Howell florist, started the first basketball team in Howell in 1908. Some of the men with him are William 430 games the first season. The second year, 1963, we had the second undefeted and untied season in our history . I've often wondered what he could have done with one of our greats- Chuck Arnold who later went to Kentucky University . Charlie played for three years on a team that won only one ballgame a few years before. Some of Don York's greats were Ron Arnold, later captain of E.M .U., John Dukes, later Alma College and present coach at Howell. Chuck Mageski, later Michigan Golden Gloves heavyweight champ, Bob Hopkins, later star wre~tler at . E.M.U., Fred (Fearless) Frostie, 5'2" of pure dynamite who, when he tackled an all-state player from Northville, that player left the game to recuperate. There were many others. In recent years there have been more sports added to the program. Wrestling was started with good men-Hopkins, Wellman, Hasbrouck, Tulip and others . The basketball team of '74 and '75 gave us our first winning season since 1948 under coach Jerry Johnson. Bruce Waha from Redford took over the cross-country boys and turned out teams that have lost one dual meet in four years, they won the league meet the last five years and have won all the county championships. His top runners have been Dan Zemper, never lost a dual meet in his three varsity years, two years regional champion, tw_o years class "A" a~lstate , had fastest high school 3 mile time ever recorded m McPherson 111, Emil Bode, and Chas. Van Winkle. Notice the clipped ears and barbed collar on the dog. The Howell basketball team about 1912, with Gus Schmidt as coach. This picture taken in the old skating rink where they played their home games . The losing team had to sit on the floor. Michigan in 1973. This team had great potential with Dan Zemaitis , Jeff Marcinkowski , D. J . Couture and others. In the last two years , womens liberation has taken over, and the girls have been having varsity teams with competition in many sports. In the first year of participation, Howell had a state girls champion when Ellen Dempsey won the championship in the high jump . We also have girls teams in tennis, basketball , and softball . This could go on forever , but I believe we should keep it for a supplement. There is enough of Howell sports that we could make it a book in itself. We've come a long way from croquet and horseshoes . Recreation By MILDRED BENNETT One of the rather regular features were the boxers (boys 12-13y rs. ) whom Lou Pelkey, a former professional boxer, trained. Gerald Pelkey, Lou's oldest son was one of these boys to box and he also put on demonstrations of fancy punching on a punching bag. Preston Pelkey and Ted Kurderko , also , were among the young boxers . This was back in the 1920's. There used to be a roller-rink on the corner where Mike Hagman 's gas station is now. In this building , dances were held quite regularly for young and old. People would dri ve in with horse and buggy- put their horses in the 10 cent horse barn , which was situated on the lot, which is now a parking lot- behind Swann's Store--<:!orner of Clinton and Walnut. Barn dances were also held out at a Fairlawn dance hall , out where Diamond Dot is now. Ed Maas ' band played there regularl y (he's still with us) Mr. Ed Beebe , father of Grace (Beebe) Franklin , used to call for these dances . The Finlan band , from Fowler ville, went all over the county, playing for dances. Then Supt. Courtier came to Howell Schools. He went to the Baptist Church . Between him and Rev . Brooks, Presby . minister , they started a church league in basketball. I understand August Schmitt worked with Rev . Brooks to start the basketball church league and also played on this first team . It was intersting to note how the boys changed their religious preferences , according to which church needed a player . They played in the old roller-rink and Presbyterian churches , the ceilings of which were very low, so the boys had to arch their shots accordingly. One fellow, Wayne 431 __j - In the back is Superintendent W.K. Osgerby, who was also team manager . Standing in back are Hugh Finley, right field ; Olin Morgan, first base; and Irving Young, shortstop. In the second row are Leland Young, substitute player; Bert Tooley, third baseman and pitcher; Brayton , was so good he threw the ball over or under the rafters. Some of the boys who played basketball at this time were: Harold Strobel, Rod Hubbell, Bob Brenner , Wes Edwards , Ford Beckwith , Leo Gregory . This was done back 1915-191.6 Some of the boys who played later in this league were the Wiltse boys, who had a family team , Anson, Vernon, Max, Glenn and Willard . Others were Preston Pelkey , Don Johnson and Dan Fournier. Lorin Bassett was the organizing force behind both Howell Basketball Independents and Howell Baseball Independents. He worked for the Detroit Creamery and they backed his ventures with trophies and awards . These teams played inter -county, intercity , wherever the word got around and someone latched onto it. Some of the great players on the Howell Basketball Independents were : Wes Edwards , Harry Cotter , "Soppy" from Fowlerville , and Ford Beckwith . The hard ball baseball group , managed by Bassett included the following: Preston Pelkey , Gerald Jones , Casey Jones , Kenny Bucknell , Chink Cotter , Frank Thompson. An earlier hardbell team consisted of: Loren Basset , catcher ; Dick Griffin, pitcher ; Ford Beckwith and Bill Cooper. Others? After finishing the scheduled season 's games , these teams would play at the fairs , especially good teams brought from Detroit, etc. At these times , the Howell Independents would bring in "ringers " good pitchers , etc . from Detroit. Everybod y, but everybody , just had to see those games at the fairs !. 432 Roy Newcomb, pitcher and captain ; and Charles Jewett, left field. The front row includes Ernest Brown, third base; Ray Newcomb, catcher; and Lynn Lewis , center field . In front is Clark Wimbels, the mascot . Fast pitch softball was played a lot, too. This type game carried over into the Bennett era 1926-196a7n d was kept alive by E . Paul Bennett. A story is told about Chink Cotter , as pitcher (Bucknell catching ), that he was cautioned not to throw his fast ball to "Spade ," a player on the Consumers Power team. Chink still had to "try it " and Spade hit him out of the park. From then on Chink threw Spade his curve ball and struck him out every time . I understand Paul was umpiring that particular game . Paul Bennett was a very hard worker ; dedicated to his job and the townspeople knew this, so whenever he needed help on some project , he seemed always to know the right person to ask for help. I doubt if he ever was turned down. He always tried to do ever ything economically , like driving all over the county to find second hand wire and then make the baseball backstop at Page Field . I believe in all his years in recreation he never bought a backstop for Page field . When Howell High could afford lights on Page Field, Paul would rearrange some of them so his softball field could be lighted . Paul never gave up on anything . After shopping in Lansing , one evening , I arrived home about 11 :30 and Paul wasn 't home, so because I had the car , he'd be walking . I started after him. When I got near Page Field , here it was , still lighted and the second pair of teams were still playing off a tie, 13th inning . For years , Paul did all the physical work getting diamonds in shape for game s, brushing water off low spots so to be sure to get the game played. Every makeup game was also played . I know because while he was finishing off his leagues in August, I was holding my breath , waiting to get away on a short vacation . Then it was usually damp and cold! Paul , also did most of his own umpiring , had to take one summer off because he said he couldn't face another pitcher-he 'd had it! The land where Citizens' Mutual now is was called the Briggs ' property , handed down to an Alexander Montague ; sold to Jack Withey, who in turn , sold it to the city . It almost was a gift to the city for the recreation of children , but something happened to keep this from happening . The Rotarians , primarily , later to be helped by Lions put playground equipment in place . Paul retired from school teaching and coaching in 1957 to become full time Recreation Director . An Open House, spring of 1957, was held for Paul at our home at 141 Riddle as a transition from school to city and many people stopped in to pay their respect to him . Up until now, Paul had supervised Recreation for Howell just during the summers , starting to organize the various softball leagues in May . This, he did for Harold Fulk the summer of 1957j ust before he became head football coach at Howell. The 1922-23 Basketball team who went to the first State Championship tourney and came out second to Niles for the State Junior Baseball was started in 1956. With an ideal, Paul Bennett and the Howell Area Recreation Commission created one four team league of approximately 60 boys. They were equipped with colored T-shirts and caps and played one night a week. This limited program led to the forming in 1957o f the Howell Area Junior Baseball Association. Its objectives were to implant in boys of the Howell area the ideals of good sportsmanship , honesty , loyalty , courage and reverence so that they might be finer, stronger and happier young men . These objectives were to be achieved by providing superivsed, competitive , baseball games , where the stress of winning the game was secondary to the instilling of good principles. Paul Bennett was the association's first commissioner and Bill Scofield its President for the first two years . One of the biggest cooperative civic events ever staged in Howell, at the time, occurred Sunday , December 1, 1957. On that day some 25 men with trucks, bulldozer , dragline and scraper started the new junior baseball field where it now stands. Under the direction of Ralph Nauss over 300 loads of fill dirt were deposited on the new diamond , thanks to Wayne Fosket , L.E . Chapman, Arnold Erb , D & J Gravel Co., Harmon Block Co., and the City of Howell. Stanley Kroll Championship . Some of the men in the picture are Ford Beckwith, Cotter , Hubble, and Townley . 433 __ _J I believe this is one of the most remarkable sports action pictures that I have ever seen. The Howell High School team about 1912, some with helmets, some without, have the ball near the goal line . The ball has been snapped to the quarterback and a halfback has run behind him with his hands on the quarterback's hips . The other halfback and donated the fill dirt. To run the equipment over 240 gallons of gasoline were donated by many of the local gasoline dealers. It was estimated that over $15,000.00 of labor and equipment were donated on this one Sunday at a cost of coffee and donuts . The first game was played on the new field on June 30, 1958. Two leagues of 150 boys in a major league with boys 13 thru 15 and the minor league with boys 10 thru 12 started the season. The initial budget of approximately $5,500.00 included complete uniforms and equipment. After this initial investment , which was made possible by the service clubs , individuals , business and industrial contributions and money making projects , the budget approximated $2,000.00 per year. To recognize the vast amount of time , effort and inspiration given by Paul Bennett to this program the new field was dedicated as Paul Bennett Field . The program continued to grow thru the years . By the early 1970s the field needed complete rebuilding and new fields were needed to accommodate more boys. Jess Mack came forward and through his efforts the field was rebuilt into a first class ball park. New fields were built and the program received a needed shot in the arm . You pick it! Bob McMacken (right) comes to the tape with an Owosso boy who was one of the best in the State . 434 the fullback do the same thing and they're all about to ram that quarterback right through the line. You hear stories about things like this, but here you actually see it happen in one of the very earliest football action pictures. Today in 1975, 750 boys from seven through seventeen are playing baseball in seven leagues of forty-eight teams. An annual budget of approximately $10,000.00 covers the cost. One day during a Jun . Baseball game at Bennett Field , E . Paul said to Jesse Mack , "I hate to think what might happen to all this after I'm gone." Jesse admired Paul and to himself , said "If I ever get a chance, I'll do something for Jun. Baseball. " He was to have that chance . After Paul retired , Jack Vince handled Jun . Baseball the first summer, then John White and then Bob McCulough. Then Jesse took over, went into Detroit to inquire about caring for a baseball field and then put this knowledge to work here in Howell. Bennett Field became beautiful! Looked like it had been manicured , blade by blade! He, also , organized well, too. He started T-ball for the little boys. The Jun . Baseball group named the fourteen-year-old boys' league the Jess Mack League, to honor Jesse and are going to put a trophy , representing him , in the Rec. Center along with the Paul Bennett and Pete Brayton trophies. The oldest boys' league is called the Paul Bennett League . The story of the Recreation Center can best be told by reprinting the pamphlet which was made up and given out at the dedication and opening of it on Dec. 12, 1965. Many townspeople were ready to help this project take place several years before, but Paul said , "No , let's get the new high school first. Dec. 12, being near Christmas , gave me a reason and excuse to use Christmas type decorations in the building. Copying and enlarging the picture of Joseph and Mary , kneeling at the side of a creche , holding the Christ child, plus a lamb or two and some angels and star . I did this in white silhouette pictures of white cardboard and put this picture on the right hand half of the large window between the hall and center room. On the left hand side we stood a lovely Christmas tree trimmed in blue-green balls and white paper cardinals . We also put Christmas trimmings on the window sills in most of the other rooms. I believe about 250 persons came to view the new building. Because the townspeople had given so liberally of themselves to the Rec Center, and though his budget was very small , he tried not ever to charge for the use of the center if it was for a civic or educational purpose . A memorial committee got together at the time of Paul 's death in '69, headed by Jim Campbell, Bill Scofield, Jack Paul Bennett's last team as a football coach 1933. It was our last championship team for many years . This last game they beat Charlotte 60-0. Dick Hagni goes up for a jump ball in the "shoe box" gym of the old school in 1947. 435 Vince, Bert Hensick and Fred Jappinga, thought that the first thing which should be done was to rename the Rec Center to Paul Bennett Howell Area recreation Center. This was done at a Re-dedication ceremony on a designated Paul Bennett Day, May 24, 1970. On April 20, the City Council had a Resolution Plaque drawn up, stating that the re-naming should take place and Dick Slayton, mayor , presented the plaque to Paul R. and me . The Young at Heart Club (Senior Citizens) which I, with help of Betty Cook, started back in '57, is explained under the title of organizations . Bill Scofield made a very nice speech as he presented a plaque in copper, with Paul's picture and a bit of Paul's philosophy on it. It was to be hung in the Center . Our son, Paul R. accepted , for us, and did so beautifully , on such short notice. (I wasn 't as yet , too sure of myself) . We also received a photographed copy of the copper plaque . Paul 's philosophy read as follows: He believed that individual character is developed through athletics and recreation ; that the success of any sports progr am is dependent upon dedicated leadership and that adult participation in recreation benefits the individual and entir e community . I can 't remember too much about the first few directors of recreation before Paul 's ten-year span , but since then , there has been Mr. John White, Gordon Sweet, a former Howell Charlie Gehringer of Fowlerville who played second base for the Detroit Tigers and was elected to the baseball Hall of Fame . 436 man who should have done well, but didn't and now, since April of '73, we have Kenneth Richardson , who is doing a reall y good job . His manner with young folks is fine, he keeps both center and grounds up well. Now, if I can just get him to put on Jun . Hi dances , I'll give him a very good grade. Recraetion goes on! / I Bert Tooley, Brooklyn Dodgers . 1911-12 and Roy and Ray Newcomb, pro players from Howell . The Pros By NORM PETTIBONE The 1904 Howell High School baseball team coasted to 10 victories in 11 regular season games and then issued a challenge through a Detroit paper to any high school team in the state that wanted to compete for the championship of Michigan . Port Huron was the only school which responded and Howell defeated them by the score of 14·1, thus, the Highlanders became undisputed state champions . Three players of the 1904 team pursued baseball professionally , Bert Tooley of the Brooklyn Dodgers , Roy Newcomb of the Copper Country League and Ray Newcomb of the Southern Michigan League . Tooley toiled at shortstop for the Dodgers in 1911 and 1912. The only other Howellite who ever made it to the major leagues was Hank Perry who roamed the outfield for the Detroit Tigers in 1912, ironically , Perry never played high school baseball . Of the three players who turned professional , Bert Tooley is the only one still living. Now in his 90th year . Three of Tooley's Dodger teammates later became member s of the Hall of Fame . They were " Hap" Rucker , " Zuck" Wheat, and " Casey" Stengel. Tooley, Newcomb, and Newcomb brought fame to Howell and will always be remembered . l Members of the National Guard are grouped together in the basement of the old Armory on E . Grand River near the theater . Taken in 1947. The Howell Armory By HOWARD N. NICHOLS Through the efforts of many local citizen and veteran organizations , the City of Howell and Livingston County were fortunate to secure a National Guard Unit. The Unit was activated 9 December 1946 as Cannon Company , 125th Infantry Regiment , with a strength of three officers and twenty one enlisted men . The Company Commander was Captain Glen Bound. St. Joseph's Parish Hall at 311 East Grand River was rented for use as an armory . Due to business reasons , Captain Bound left Howell and command of the Company was assumed by Captain Glenn Slucter on 15 February 1947. A reorganization of The Active Army and Reserve Components on 1 November 1948r esulted in the local Unit being converted to Heavy Mortar Company, 125th Infantry Regiment. On 2 December 1950, Captain Howard W. Nichols took command of the Company. Another reorganization of the Army resulted in the Unit being re-designated as Company B, 107th Signal Battalion on 15 March 1959. Due to the inadequate facilities of the rented armory , a drive was started to secure land for a new armory . Through popular contributions , a six-acre tract was secured on Isbell Street near the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad tracks at a cost of $3,000.00. The cost of ational Guard Armories is shared by Federal , State and local governments . To coordinate securing the necessary funds from all government agencies , a citizen 's committee was formed in 1956 with Mr . Edward Fritch as Chairman. Final contributions were $245,000.00 from Federal sources, $107,000.00 from State funds , $68,000.00 from Livingston County, and $10,000.00 from the City of Howell for a total cost of $430,000.00 including furnishings . Ground was broken in April, 1962, and the local Unit moved into the building on 16 December 1962. Formal dedication ceremonies took place on 12 January 1963 and a public open house on 13 January 1963. 437 • ....... owelt - Is Where · we -live ·~ ~· Howell as it looked from the air in 1949.

Forward Where do we go froin here? As I reviewed the Howell history book, on which the Bicentennial Committee has done such a beautiful job, I got a tremendous amount of enjoyment. A State Bicentennial official recently stated to me that this book was the finest book of its type he has seen printed by any community in the U.S.A. One conclusion that I drew while reading the book was the feeling that its people really cared about people. While you could read about one problem or disaster after another, you could also read about a person or group who would rise to the occasion and help solve the problem. Fun, friendship and pride seemed to be a real part of the people. The Bicentennial Committee, wanting to update the first edition and create a photo supplement, asked me to comment on the topic "Where do we go from here." In trying to answer this I asked several people the same question and have received about as many different answers as the number of people I asked. I find it hard to speculate on the future of a country, community or people. I do feel the many problems our country has faced the past few years and will face in the future will challenge us all. I have always believed in the freedom of people and that people in a free society produce better when they are challenged . My involvement with people everywhere but particularly in the Howell area has helped me discover how many community-minded people live here. The concern, interest and friendliness of our people seem to be the real strength of this community. I would love to start naming all the people who have made this community what it is both in the past and in the present, but the fear of missing many names prevent it. As long as people volunteer their time and talent to make living better for other people, our future has to be brig ht. This is the answer to "where do we go from here" in my opinion. With people like this living in our community, we will continue to be the friendly and beautiful community we have all come to know and love.

Gilbert Bursley State Senator 18th District Introduction Welcome to the Photographic Supplement to the Howell Bicentennial History. This volume is intended as a completion of the original History, adding hundreds of historic pictures of the Howell area to the thousands of words appearing in the first work. The supplement is not intended to stand alone, although much of the material is interesting and significant in its own right. Instead, it is meant to add information on families, events and organizations to that already published. We urge readers of this supplement who have not examined the original history to obtain that work as wel I. Again, this is the work of hundreds of area residents . They have scoured their attics, scrapbooks and family archives for outstanding pictures and stories about the Howell area. Most importantly, they have deluged Photographic Archivist Duane Zemper with their finds, and the success of the book has rested extensively on Zemper's shoulders. As you all will be able to see, Zemper has done a remarkable job. Assisting him closely were the wonderful enthusiasts of the first book, including former mayor and local historian Cliff Heller, American Revolution and D.A.R. researcher and writer Mrs. Albert Rohrabacher, and the originator of the entire history book concept, Mrs. Richard Lamoreaux. The corrections and additions to the first book appear in this supplement, in so far as they were brought to our attention. Again, great credit must be given to the composition and photographic staff of the Livingston County Press. A list of their staff appears on the last page of this work. This supplement was a labor of love in a community of love and history . It would not have been possible without two behind -thescenes workers who did the dirty work . . . the bookkeeping and handling of the books, Bicentennial Vice Chairman Mike Hagman and Bicentennial Treasurer, Dennis Mowrey. For all of those who worked on the book, we wish the Howell community a Bicentennial year of history, tradition, and appreciation . Fashionable gals on a picnic and a big date . David L.

The E1nbers' Heritage FOREWORD This little monograph is dedicated to the scattered few who remember the once well-worn path to the swimming hole and the picture of an old orchard on the hillside, the enchantment of the lake's lily-filled coves and pebbled beaches, the allseasons ' lure of stumptown and the old-time winters' neverfailing gift of perfect ice along the cemetery shore. In particular, it is dedicated to my boyhood chum, Tar Barbour, whose muzzle-loading army musket was much longer than the one I shouldered but it couldn't kick so hard nor spread its load so wide. To him and to other old-timers, much of the lake's former glamour and appeal would be missing. The swimming hole hill, a rough but ready-made toboggan slide, has been cut into and its noble proportions thrown out of balance. The peninsula, the lake's distinguishing landmark, where yellow warblers and sandpipers once nested and where, in late summer, robins by the hundreds came at the day's ending, has been "improved" and taken over by summer cottages. The north cove, beloved of teal and mallard, knows them no more and Parker's woods, where we hunted squirrel, is now the habitat of the year-round registrants of the County Infirmary, known in Will Carleton's day as the Poor House. Well, if they get one-half of the enjoyment out of that ancient hunting ground that we did in a bygone day, they are far luckier than most of those who come, in time, to direct their faltering steps along the devious paths of adversity. Lately, I stood, again, where a certain old apple tree, prophetically , had so often scattered its leaves over the hillside, and thought upon the erstwhile, rare companionship of one who loved the woods and the hills and the gleaming waters between. He said little but smiled easily and often, and it was my happy privilege to teach him, as a young lad, how to swim and what I knew of hunting and fishing. But, with time's passing, tragic days overtook and overwhelmed him and never, by lake or river's margin nor among upland game coverts, will I meet his footsteps again . There is a hallowed spot on the bluff above the lake, whose waters, on carefree ventures, he and I had so often cruised together, and there he is sleeping away the years where the patient sod holds communion with the ageless stars that will look down upon his abiding place until the last day. For him, till then, a dreamless sleep. Peace to his ashes . Letzter Heller February, 1940. In the embers' "Gold of Ophir," Once, a sturdy, hillside tree, Appear familiar scenes and faces Through Mem'ry's magic alchemy . We fare, again, on youthful ventures , By trails we followed long ago, Across the lake to beckoning hilltop, To wintry woods and fields of snow. We live, once more, past , fleeting summers And hear, again, Springs' wakening call; The mellow, hunting days of autumn- Our fireside dreams review them all. THE OPEN FIRE By EMIL ERNST BODE At the last , it had been a broken and weatherbeaten old apple tree , a landmark known to four generations, that had been planted with its fellows by pioneer Moses Thompson in a time before the memory of living man. One of a scattered group of neglected and almost forgotten trees, bearing oldfashioned apples : Ben Davis and Winesap, Sheepsnose and Bellflower, Gravenstein and Winter Russet , this particular tree stood at a high point overlooking the lake, with a commanding view of the grove at the south, the peninsula and the woods beyond, the island floating in the middle distance , and, on the far horizon, the hills of Oceola. During the years of its long life, it had absorbed , along with its toll of the soil and its share of the sunshine, the dew and the ra in, some of the very life and spirit of the lake. It knew when the first hepatica were in bloom and where the pungent and tender young wintergreen leaflets could be found. From its high stand , it could see the blue patches of lupine over on the peninsula and sense where, in the quiet waters beyond, the great snakelike roots of the water lily, lying in the primal ooze at the bottom of the lake, sent up their immaculate , flawless blossoms to float upon its surface. In those far-away years of its early life, much of the surrounding country was still covered with timber, teeming with wild life. The howling of wolves was a not unfamiliar sound and not all the bears had retreated before the settler and his rifle, an occasional one coming down to seek the cooling waters of the lake and, in early summer , to scoop up hapless sunfish off their spawning beds in the shallows near shore. In still earlier times it had been a common runway and crossing for both elk and deer and not a few of the latter still came down out of the woods at the west, crossed the pioneer trail-road, sought temporary sanctuary in the dense stand of tamaracs in the swamp, to make their way, finally, through the heavy timber to the lake, once a favorite stand of the Indian, armed with bow and arrows, lying in wait for his quarr y coming down to drink. Even in that early day, before its shallow outlet had been dammed, the present north arm of the lake was a deep and sizable body of water, which deer , on the move, either swam or circled by way of the island, then but a projection of the mainland , swimming the narrow channel between there and the farther shore. In the fall, great flocks of that matchless game bird, the wild turkey , roamed the nearby woods for acorns and those farther to the west for beechnuts and, with every returning spring, flocks of passenger pigeons came , as late as the 70's, literally by the millions, to loiter for a day or two on their way to their nesting grounds in the great forests around Petoskey . Today, neither in Michigan nor anywhere on this earth is there a single living survivor of that host whose numbers once darkened the skies and the sound of whose flight was like the roar of a storm. Once, in the late summer, when the new orchard was but a year or two old, a file of Indians appeared coming out the woods, crossed the little clearing and came on up the hill. They were following a centuries old trail that had its beginnings far to the southwest, in Ohio, led up past the "old crooked tree ," one of many such trail markers found by pioneer woodsmen, crossed the shallows at the north end of the lake, turned and took its way over hill and dale to the Huron country , far to the northeast. They were a chosen band of Shawnees, from below the line, and were bound for the still virgin forest country a sun's travel beyond the little village of Pontiac , where they would join many of their blood relatives from among the Sacs, Hurons and Wyandots in a series of ceremonial dances lasting many days. Here with both wood 16 and water available were many inviting spots offering a camping place for the night but they tarried not for there was a well-founded Indian tradition that here , in the once thick cover at the end of the lake and on the higher ground to the east , a mighty battle had once been fought to a decisive ending. A great war party had come down out of the north, attacked the defenders of the Indian village located here and in the ensuing battle, many braves on both sides had fallen, their spirits still roaming this once happy hunting ground. The truth of this legend was attested by those, who, in later years tilled those sandy acres for a meagre reward but who never failed to garner a bountiful harvest of arrowheads , year after year , when plowing that historic ground. These flint and obsidian heads were of two types and among them was found a spearhead of copper, hardened by some process unknown today, proving beyond a doubt that the members of that ancient war party were Chippewas from the Straits country or from the far off shores of Superior. And so this band of Shawnees kept on in the gathering twilight until they came to the park-like glade, where that little stream , now called Dibble Creek, comes in from the east to join the larger one from the lake that flows northward to merge its waters with those of the Shiawassee. There , under the stately and venerable oaks, they made camp and ate sparingly , for they traveled light. Later , during the great ceremonials , there would be much feasting . Neither kin, nor any of those who had dispossessed them, came to light a pipe at that campfire but a great horned owl, cruising wide on questing wings, sent them greeting . At long ago first , the tree heard little but the sounds of nature, the songs of birds , the cry of the loon, the scream of the hawk, and, in the velvet hush of the night, a fox's bark or the far-echoing howl of wolves. It listened to the soft patter of rain on the lake's surface in summer and to the rumbling protest of its ice-burdened waters in winter ; but in good time , the lake 's never-failing drama was enacted within plain view of the fruit bearer on the hill. It became a silent witness of the carefree pastimes of old and young and of bitter and purposeless tragedy . Men rowed out on its placid waters to spend hours in pleasant idleness and, from early spring until late summer , an endless procession of boys with fishpoles on shoulders followed the winding path along the shore or hurried by on their way to the swimming hole, that mecca of enchantment where the town boys and the country lads, the well born and the poor, the daring and the cowardly, the white and the black and all others met on an equal footing to seek refreshing ablution or an hour's frolic. Incidentally , every true believer , before taking the initial plunge, performed a certain preliminary and time-honored ritual , the efficacy of which as a preventive of swimmer 's cramp was never questioned. One warm and still moonless night in spring , three young men came down to the lake by the path over the pinnacle , and unlocked a wide heavy boat chained to a leaning willow. They put out from shore and when the flaring light of a fishing jack lit up nearby waters and the trees along the peninsula , a black-haired , athletic fellow, armed with a many tined spear, took his place in the bow and they headed for Steel's Cove, considered the best spearing ground of the lake. That same night and on other such nights during the years to come, boats similarly accoutred and manned pulled away from shore, in pursuit of a sport that had a fascination of its own, hard to describe, and a lure hard to resist. During those irrecoverable years when Life still moved along to an unhurried tempo, the lake had become the recreational center of the community . Boats and, in time, canoes plied its waters from the time of spring's first greening until chill and somber November 's shortening days ; and in the long twilight hours of summer, they who were in love with life and they who were in love with each other, knew the magic of its moon-silvered waters , where Night spread her glittering mantle of glamorous pattern and gemmed with myriad stars . Then were heard again, Stars of the Summer Night, Moonlight On The Lake, Juanita , and snatches of old songs and ballads that the listening tree had heard on other moonlight nights, melodies sung by unknown and forgotten voices whose harmonies echoed back from the receding shores of Time. One summer afternoon , two boys came down to the lake, undressed in the deserted grove, rowed out and dove off the end of their boat-a favorite sport.Thereupon Fate , envious and unkind, took a hand. A treacherous puff of wind came across the waters and a freshening breeze hurried their boat toward the farther shore too fast to overtake . They turned back to the nearer shore where they had left their clothes and one of them reached that haven without mishap , but from its distant hillside an old apple tree saw the reach of a drowning hand and caught the questioning, disillusioned look of a face we once knew. On winter nights, the tree heard the ring of the skater's steel and saw the cheerful gleam of bonfires on the nearby shore or in distant windless cove. The tyro on skates, in hopeless admiration , watched some expert do the Figure Eight or the Dutch Roll; but the wizard, who, nonchalantly and with the greatest of ease , could describe the intricacies of the single and double Grapevine 's maze was the envy of all. In earlier years , pull-away was the standard ice game, hockey coming in later . Between games , they skated endless miles, down to the mill, down to stumptown, around to front lake, down to the mill again and so back to the bonfire on the shore by the grove. Skiing, a sport of Norway and Canada, had not yet come into its own here but every hill that ran down to the lake offered a suitable runway for coaster or toboggan and the swimming hole pinnacle was the king of them all. One always remembered winter 's night, the "old gang" of that period had made the usual circuit of the lake for a last time, to come back once more to gather round the nearly burned out bonfire built by that great rock, of gruesome history, resting there on the shore below the cemetery . The hour grew late and the town boys left for their homes but a lad who lived down by the mill, loath to quit the perfect ice, soon to be covered by the snow predicted by the weatherwise , accompanied them around to Front Lake, to return alone and sit for a spell beside the dying embers . High and aloof rode the gibbous moon, encircled by a huge, sinister appearing ring and darkened again and again by the uneasy clouds that hurried across its face. The echoing calls and shouts of the skaters and the tintinnabulation of their steel-shod feet had long since died away and, except for a vague and eerie whispering, sensed rather than heard, a vast and unreal silence had settled down over lake and field and wooded hill. Then, a chilling breath , unlike any ever felt before, bore in upon the watcher by the fire; a strange , prickling sensation coursed the length of his spine and each separate hair of his head, literally and truly , stood on end. Without a single backward glance, he pushed himself to his feet and with no conscious attempt to hurry , but hoping only to neither trip nor stumble , he casually but purposefully went away from there to head for the lower end of the lake and home. The old trees in the orchard witnessed the flight of the wraithlike form of a skater and of another that , like a shadow, fared silently ahead , both quickly lost in the swirl of flakes that ushered in the heaviest snowfall of the winter . And a certain lad surveyed the thick blanket of white that covered the countryside next morning, with a strange and deep content ; it promised , in that day, weeks of uninterrupted sleighing and coasting and the probable end of skating till another year. There came a New Year 's day, something more than fifty years ago, when the whole lake was one marvelous glare of solid ice and nearly everyone who skated or ever had skated , helped to swell the greatest crowd of pleasure-seekers that had ever come together on the lake. Old-timers, who hadn't been on the ice in years , except perhaps to fish, caught the spirit of that day and ventured forth to live, again , an hour or two of boyhood. Fred Preston and Will Pelton , flawless performers , remembered all the old fancy figures, and Sid and Frank Cooper, who had turned up and strapped on their old-style "wooden-bottoms," narrow-bladed skates of an even then obsolete pattern , did things on the ice that none of the younger generation could duplicate . A free-for-all, so-called hockey game was organized and everyone, with a love of adventure or with a drop of sporting blood coursing through his veins, entered the lists. The hockey stick of the period was usually of hickory, with somewhat trimmer lines than those of a baseball bat but with a formidable knob at the end that gave it the general air pearance and all-round efficiency of an oversize Indian war club. The puck in use, on this particular occasion, was a maple croquet ball and whether a knight enrolled under the suppositious Green Shamrock colors of husky, Irish Ed Shields or followed the imaginary Red Rose banner of rangy , English Fred Titus, he assumed all the hazards and every now and then he found his armour woefully inadequate . Incidentally , to be among the first ones chosen was a bit of preferment secretly coveted but nonchalantly accepted and was, in itself, considered no small honor. The game started off with nearly every player in motion and when hickory met maple, the ball not infrequently hurtled through the air like round shot from a cannon's mouth and it was then every man for himself. A superb shot by Butter Pate scalped the crown from the Sunday derby of some now-forgotten warrier , who passed a solicitous hand over his miraculously unblemished features and thereupon called it a day. Darby Arnold took a crisp half swing at the rolling pellet and connected neatly with Pompey Lewis, who had coasted swiftly within Darby 's orbit , unpredicted and unannounced. Jim Shields snared a short spinning poirup with one hand and crossed up the opposition with a purely inspirational heave, rolling the ball straight and true for one of the few goals of this hectic and historic game . In the vociferous debate that ensued, Jim , as usual, more than held his own, quoting freely from a rule book of which, it developed later , he possessed the only copy. Two forwards , making a simultaneous dash for the puck, collided midway like a pair of battering rams ; one to withdraw with a sprained ankle, the other to regain his normal , active senses hours later , to find himself with a badly swollen jaw and several loosened teeth , idly skating by himself on a seldom frequented part of the lake, with no recollection of the haphazard route by which he had arrived there and the major events of the afternoon a blank. There followed other incidents and lesser casualties which Time, relentless and uncaring , has erased from the pages of memory. Through all that memorable afternoon, the clash of club against club and the crash of body against body resounded from shore to shore. The sun lingered to view the strange pattern made by the whirling, darting forms of many skaters and reluctantly moved on to other scenes , leaving the old tree on the hill to watch over the field. One by one the wearied , surviving contestants left the ice, limping homeward to nurse bruised faces , skinned knuckles and battered shins, but to review, with deep satisfaction, some valiant save or brilliant assist on an occasion when the race was altogether to the swift and the battle entirely to the strong. 17 Happy days! Not all of them. One holiday morning, a boy appeared in the channel between the island the point, skating alone, and the old tree waved its branches in warning for it knew of the trap laying there in wait for the feet of the unwary. Perhaps it was but a passing breeze, but if so it was fanned by the wings of Death. Up there, where the shallows drop off into the depths, a patch of water, kept open by a perverse and vagrant wind, had frozen over only the night before and young and friendly Charley Tunnard coasted out on its inviting glare. Nobody knows how long he fought off the numbing chill of the water and we can only guess at the desperate hopelessness of his efforts, but a certain voiceless witness far down the lake heard his last despairing call for help and saw his last futile clutch slip off the ice's mocking edge. The years passed by and while the panorama of life on the lake and around its shores was unrolled before it, the tree lived its own life. It withstood the heat and the storms of summer, the snow and the icy blasts of winter. The sun of seed-time and harvest, the moon that came up from behind the distant woods, and the shifting constellations of the seasons found it anchored to its accustomed place, leaning over the old rail fence that staggered up the hill from the lake. But like men and the flowers of the field, the trees of woodland and of orchard, sooner or later, wither and decay. One spring the old tree put forth a valiant display of blossoms and nurtured a last single branch full of apples, but when verdant May came again, the robins, bluebirds and orioles that in years past had sought food, a home or sanctuary among its branches, found it gone and soon to become, like him who planted it and like them who followed after to gather its fruit, only a fleeting memory. And so, in time, a portion of the old tree found its way to my fireplace and these and other scenes and incidents appeared in the open fire before me. In that most companionable book Emil Ernst Bode 18 CAMP-FIRES AND GUIDE-POSTS, Henry Van Dyke devoted a chapter to Fireside Views and wrote knowingly of fires for various purposes, how to build them, and which kinds of wood to use. "Old apple-wood burns cleanly, brightly, serenely, with a delicate and spicy fragrance. The flames bloom softly over logs; they play around them and dance above them with shifting colors of canary yellow, and pale blue, and saffron; they send unwavering pennons of pure golden light, which sink down again into fringes of mellow radiance. Deeper and deeper the transforming element sinks into the heart of the log, which still keeps its shape, an incandescent round, silvered with a fine white ash ; until at last the stick breaks and crumbles into glowing coals, of a color which no words can describe. It is like the petals of a certain rose, whose tint I remember and which, I have been told, bears that perfect name, Gold of Ophir. So the lovely ruins of the old apple tree lie heaped upon the hearth, and over them flow tiny ripples of azure and mauve and violet flame, lower and lower, fainter and fainter, till all does down into gray, and the tree has rendered its last offering of beauty and service to man ." Thus wrote the Doctor, a wise as well as a learned man. He knew the ways of men and of nature and, among many other things that which gave him the most satisfaction, how to build a fire. And, in the heart of that old pioneer apple tree, I too saw the glow of that matchless rose he knew and I saw, also, the gold and scarlet of hickory, sumac and maple in October's mellow sunlight, the golden haze of Indian Summer, and lived, again, the golden years of youth that had slipped away and retreated through the woods across the lake and behind the once beckoning hills of Oceola. "Wahrlich, hinter jedem Berg leigt unsere Jugend." The wood of the old tree blazed and glowed in cheerful, final usefulness. I watched the last blazing ember burn to ashes and the deepened shadows of the room became peopled with the ghosts of yesterday. Jerome W. Hand born April 30, 1836 in Livingston County, New York.

The Pless Family and Their Pioneer Neighbors In 1834T homas Pinckney, and his wife Abigail, came from Dutchess County, New York to the area that was to become known as Genoa Township. They were the fifth in locating land, and first to settle , and to build a log house, and among the first to build a frame barn. The first white child to be born in Genoa was born in that log house. The Grand River Indian Trail ran through their farm , but it had not been cleared for wagon travel , and travelers used blaze marks on trees to guide them . The Pinckneys stayed there until 1838. They had sold an acre to Lawrence Euler , and he built a log store , the first business venture in the area, and called it the Dutch Grocery. Pinckneys had also sold two acres to Lewis Dorr , who built a frame house, barn and blacksmith shop there in 1838. In the next three years the farm was sold to Ellis Luther , then to Sarah Hunt, who married Nathan Cook, and they sold it back to Ellis Luther, and he bought out Lewis Dorr. In 1841, Ellis Luther sold the 159 acres to Henry Andrew Pless , and his wife, Maria . They had been living in Detroit for two years. They and their ten children, all under 15 years old moved into the house Lewis Dorr built, and that house sheltered five generations of the Pless family for the next thirteen decades. At that time in the wilderness this location was considered better than most . The Dutch Grocery , and the first log school house were nearby , and Lucius Peet had built a log tavern across from the school. The St. George Lutheran Society was organized and the first church was built a half mile south of the trail in 1845. Several families in the neighborhood were charter members , including such well known names in Genoa as : Baetcke , Bauer , Bode, Behrens , Beurmann , Crasman , Conrad, Dorr , 3 Eulers , Engel, Hatsfield , Hyne, Haecker, Hartman , Opel, Pless , Suhr , Seiman, Westphal, Weichers and Winters . They were led by Fredrick Schmid, a pioneer churchman from Ann Arbor, Rev . E. A. Buek, and Pastor Meyer , the last two were retired Lutheran ministers , who settled in Genoa. In addition , a host of other pioneer families soon became members, or attended church there , including : Becker , Bremer , Birkenstock , Damman , Dankers , Dingler , Funch , Faulk , Fick , Fischer , Fink , Foland , George, Gerkin , Grostick , Hunter , Hazard , Herbst , Krebs , Larson , Martin , Marschner , Musch, Mackenroth , Neverth , Neuendorf , Pfau , Pipp , Ratz , Rancher , Riedel , Risch , Romer , Scheonhals , Schmidt , Seim, Scholdt, Stricker , Schwienberg , Stuible, Steinmetz , Steinacker , Truhn , Vogelsberg, Struhrberg , Wagonknecht, Webber, Waltz, Weimeister , Winklehouss, Whenes and some probabl y have been overlooked. The majorit y of the foregoing names can be found on headstones in that original St. George Lutheran Churchyard cemetery , where they are resting from their labors , peacefully and faithfully awaiting the resurrection . Henry Andrew Pless was born , ra ised, and educated in Mecklenburg , in northern Germany . He went to Moscow, Russia where he operated a chemical business , and several of his children were born there . During the cholera epidemic in Moscow he performed so many deeds of mercy that through a general , Peter the Great authorized the presen- 19 Plessland Originator Frederick E. Pless and Elizabeth A. Grostic, married December 10, 1890. This picture possibly taken about five years later . They were parents of Louis, Harlow, Harriett and Frederick . Their home was midway between Howell and Brighton in the original Henry Andrew Pless homestead. Pless was a member of the Holstein Fresian Association and his large herd was registered under the name of Plessland. tation of a Golden Eagle in front of his house of business , a significant mark of honor. Due to political pressure and high taxes put on foreigners in Russia , he returned to Germany , soon after removed to Detroit, and then to Genoa, where he spent his last 35 years , and his wife Maria , lived there for 44 years. They had had no experience in farming , and their survival had to depend on using funds they had intended to put into a business, and on the energy and determination of the children , especially the two oldest boys Lewis and Andrew, aged 12 and 11 respectively . Those two boys put off marriage until the other children were quite grown up. However, they were away from the farm when Lewis went to California to prospect for gold, and when Andrew returned to Germany to attend school there . Both were glad to get back home. The girls married , and all but one left the area , three spent the remainder of their lives in Lansing, one sister and brother went first to Jackson and then on to California, the other brother died at home at the age of twenty-six. Lewis married Julia George, and Andrew married Margaret Euler , both were the daughters of nearby pioneers . In 1861, Lewis and Andrew bought the farm from their parents , and divided it. In the following years they each 20 Henry Andrew Pless, 1788-1876. Maria Louise ( Klessonl Pless, 1801-1885. added acres and buildings. By 1890, Lewis and Andrew had accumulated about 560 acres, and Andrew had two sets of farm buildings. Lewis turned his acres over to his son, Frederick E. Pless and Andrew divided his farm between his sons, George E. and Charles H. Pless . Then each of these third generation Pless men had a farm, complete with buildings, livestock and tools. Next the ownership passed to the fourth generation, and the parcel where the old home stood is still owned by some of that generation , making it 135 years in the Pless name . The remainder is occupied by a few small business places, and factories, and there are houses scattered on small acreages through the fields. The farms could not provide for the lifetime of all the descendants of Henry and Maria Pless, but the generations who spent a happy and secure childhood on those acres have forever after remembered the place as home. The fourth generation living here were Louis, Harlow, Harriett and Frederick , children of Mr. and Mrs. Frederick E. Pless. The last and fifth generation having lived in this house were Frederick Robert, Edward James and Richard Lee Pless, sons of Mr. and Mrs. Harlow Pless . Acreage of this original farm is still held by Maybelle Pless, widow of Harlow Pless and by Frederick Pless and wife, Luella . Plessland Dairy The Plessland Dairy was owned and operated by Harlow and Frederick Pless. In the 1930's they built a tile creamery building on the Pless farm on Grand River. One room was equipped for an ice cream parlor and dairy bar . This was operated for three years by Maybelle Pless and one year by Harriett ( Pless) Baker . Modern War Hero Marine Pvt. Frederick Robert Pless, son of Mr . and Mrs . Harlow Pless graduated at the age of 16 from the Howell High School with the class of 1941. The following January he enrolled at Michigan State University, East Lansing. On August 24, 1943 he enlisted in the Marine corp. June 8, 194S, he volunteered to secure communication wire from the field of action, and was shot by a Jap sniper at Okinawa which left him paralyzed from the waist down. He was brought to the United States and spent some time in several California hospitals . He was brought home from Great Lakes Naval hospital and was guest of honor for V.J. day in 1946. In October he was transferred to veteran's hospital at Dearborn so he could be near to his family. Death occurred April 30, 1947. In the picture Robert is seated next to driver .

The milk was then distributed to stores and homes, Harlow operating the Howell area with the help of his sons Robert, Edward and Richard. Frederick operated the Brighton business . After several years Harlow bought the Martha Farms Jersey milk route from Mrs . Wherry. The business in the two towns increases to such an extent that bottled milk had to be secured from the Ira Wilson & Sons Dairy. After a number of years Harlow discontinued the Howell route and devoted his time to farming and helping in the Brighton delivery until his death in 1970. Frederick retired the following year.

They first settled in Hamburg township where they were farmers. In 1853 they bought farms in Section 30 of Oceola Township, on what is now M-59 . Jane ( 1820-1903) James ( 1832-1906)-Great grandfather of Clayton Musson Edward ( 1826-1898)-Great .grandfather of Martha Musson Jane's Husband Jane married Wm. c. Shaft . They were proprietors of the Shaft Hotel which was built in 1847 on the southeast corner of Court and Grand River Streets, where Kontz Motor Sales, Inc . is located today . Wm. Shaft and his son, Wm. Henry, also ran a line of stages between Howell and Detroit until 1857 when the Shaft family left Howell to take up a Homestead in Kansas . James Lawther and his wife, Amarilla A . Harmon Lawther were the fourth proprietors of the Union Hall hotel beginning in 1850. The hotel was built in the spring of 1845 by Hezekiah Gates upon the southeast corner of East Street (now South Michigan Avenue) and Grand River Ave. Amarilla rented rooms and prepared meals for the townspeople and for those traveling through Howell. The hotel was burned in 1871 when owned by a Mr . Beach. James Lawther and W.P . Melvin opened the second wagon shop in Howell . This place of business was also on East Street, on the nor - thwest corner of East and Sibley Streets . They started their blacksmith business in 1846. In 1861 Wm . Melvin built the Melvin House at this location. It continued to be called the Melvin House for many years, then the John - ston House and in 1880 it became known as the Commercial Hotel and owned by John M . White. James Lawther was one of the members of the first Board of Trustees of the Howell School District in 1849 with George Jewett, R.P. Bush and Wm. McPherson . Jennie Parker (1883-1972). This picture was taken about 1899 in Boulder, Colorado, when she was 16 years of age. 23 Civil War Veteran Danford Parker in Civil War Uniform. Born May 30, 1825 in Gennessee County, N .Y. Blanche Smith Parker was a graduate of Howell High School in the class of 1893, with her gifts of flowers in baskets. A picture of Minnie Wing on lower shelf of little table, who became a dentist about 1895 or 1896 and practiced dentistry in Saginaw many years. Lois Parker Hicks Dr. Louis Watkins- Former Howell Dentist This picture of Dr. Watkins and his dog, Bob, was taken at the Harry Maycock home. The Dr. boarded his dog at the Maycock's and came every fall for pheasant season. He was a Howell dentist for many years, before going to Detroit to practice, but never missed coming to stay a few days with his friend, Harry Maycock and family during hunting season, and enjoying hunting with his faithful dog. Harold J . Maycock Almon Whipple Almon Whipple-afterwards, for nearly forty years, a well-known and highly-respected citizen of Howell-removed to this village from the township of Handy in 1839, he having been elected in the preceding autumn to the office of county clerk. He was born in Hardwick, Mass ., in the year 1800, and remained in that State until the year 1825, when he removed to Otsego Co., N.Y . There he carried on a mercantile business from 1828 till 1835, when his health became poor, and he emigrated to Handy, in this county, in 1837. In 1838 he opened a store in that town, and in the following year removed to Howell, as mentioned above. On the 14th of January, 1840, he married Mary Curtis (daughter of Victory Curtis), with whom he lived for nearly thirty-seven years . Upon his settlement in Howell, he engaged a mercantile business in partnership with John Curtis, under the firm-name of Curtis & Whipple . They purchased the business of Edward F. Gay, and became his successors in the store built by the latter, near the southwest corner of the old public square. His partner died in 1841, and Mr . Whipple afterwards removed to the main street of the village, and remained in the business of merchandising until 1860, when he retired from it , but continued to engage in real estate and other operations during the remainder of his life, and was successful in amassing a comfortable fortune. Besides the office of county clerk he also held that of county treasurer, and was for some years, the•first postmaster of Howell. He died Feb. 14, 1878 "He was one of the early settlers of Livingston County, and ever manifested an · active interest in the welfare of his adopted State . His record was honorable, and he enjoyed the confidence and esteem of all who associated with him . He was ever the poor man's friend . Honesty, generosity, and charity were his marked characteristics." Two additions have been laid out on the east side of the village, on lands of Almon Whipple, in the west half of the southeast quarter of section 36. The first of these, lying on the north side of Grand River Street, and bounded by Cowdrey's first addition on the west, and by the Livingston County Agricultural Fairgrounds on the east. This addition is dated Jan . 27, 1868. The second Whipple Addition, dated Sept . 4, 1871, lies opposite the first, on the south side of Grand River Street, and alsa has its west boundary on Cowdrey's first addition. 25 The Wright Families of George Washington and Hester Belfry Wright .

The Stapleton-Euler Family By Doris Frykman Since the first edition of the Howell Bicentennial History was published, I have come into a great deal of additional information on the early Eulers in Genoa Township. The original John Euler, Sr. (1775-1848c) ame from Germany in 1828 and lived for a time in Detroit. He came on to Genoa (along Euler Road) about 1835 with his wife Elizabeth, a sister, Susan and four sons. He stayed briefly in Genoa and then went on to Shiawassee County accompanied by his wife, sister and one son, Peter . His other three sons, John Jr. (my ancestor), Henry and Lawrence remained in Genoa, married and raised their families here. I have no intention of making a genealogy of this article but did want to bring out the above information and correction. I \ John Euler, Sr. 1775-1848 This is a reproduction of a pencil drawing made in Germany prior to coming to America in 1828. He came to the Euler Road area of Genoa Township in 1835 where he lived for a time before moving on to Shiawassee County . However, three of his four sons, John Jr., Henry and Lawrence remained in Genoa and raised their families there. There are many descendants in and around this area. John Euler, Sr. was my great, great, great-grandfather. Doris Frykman am grateful to cousins Lloyd Euler of Howell and Bill Pless of Brighton for their assistance . Under separate cover I am submitting a picture of John Euler, Sr. which I hope will be included in the pictorial section of the new book. In answer to queries about there being no Stapletons in Howell at present, I wish to say that although my grandmother, Ella Stapleton Euler had four brothers, Charles, George, Fred and Frank, none of them had any sons to carry on the name. When Frank died in 1961 at the age of 96, the name disappeared from our branch of the family. I would also like to mention the other four children born to Fred and Ella Euler in addition to my mother, Mary Isabelle Frykman . There were Ralph, Kenneth, Doris and Phyllis. Ralph married Bertha Gray and they lived most of their married life in Sewickley, a suburb of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania . They had no children, and Ralph died in 1972. Kenneth is married to the former Genevieve Ubsdell and they live near Fowlerville. Their only daughter, Carolyn died in infancy. Doris is married to Harold Hatcher of Dearborn and is the mother of four daughters-Barbara Mardigian, Peggy Grover, Mary Jo Terry and Nancy Barrett . The Hatchers also have one son, Fred. There are also several grandchildren and a few great-grandchildren . Phyllis married Leo Rancour and they recently returned to live in Howell after spending twenty years in Ann Arbor. They are the parents of twin sons, Bob and Dick, and a daughter, Ruth Anne Rieckhoff. Concerning my parents, Isabelle and Otto Frykman (both now deceased), I stated in the first book that there were two daughters, Betty and I. Betty married Ralph Noll anc! they live in Ann Arbor. They have two daughters, Mrs. Donald (Patricia) Case of Milford, and Barbara of Ann Arbor. The Cases have two little daughters, Susan and Barbara, so we are now in the eighth generation of the Euler family in this area. Azel Carpenter Azel Carpenter was born approximately in 1828 or 29. About 1848o r 49, he was married to Miss Maryetta Stedman, daughter of Daniel Stedman . To this union was born one son, whose name was Edgar. Edgar was born June 13, 1849. Maryette Stedman Carpenter died when her son was about twelve years of age. She is buried in Lakeview Cemetery, Howell, Michigan. Edgar lived with the Latson family on Beck Road for a short time and went to school. From then on I do not know anything about him or his father till 1878 when Edgar Carpenter was married to ldd C. Austin, daughter of George Austin and Lydia Smock Austin. At this time Azel Carpenter was living in a small house on East Grand River in Howell. He was married twice since the death of his first wife and had at least one son by the second wife. After her death he married a third time. No children. Edgar Carpenter was born June 13, 1849. Ida C. Austin wasborn May 9, 1857. They were married in May of 1879. To this union were born seven children. Maryette born March 5 1880,d ied June 16, 1927;H attie May born March 2, 1882,d ied March 11, 1969; Perry, born Oct. 22, died not known; Roy, born May 23, 1887, died July 7, 1888; Azel George born May 29, 1890, diea in Jan. 1949; Wallace born November 30 1892 died Dec. 1, 1892; Frances A. born July 2, 1894. Edga~ Car: penter died April 15, 1896.I da Austin Carpenter died June 15, 1947. 27 This picture was taken in 1912 at the Fred Euler home when their good friends , "Scotch Hugh" and Georgia McPherson came to call. McPherson is the shorter of the two men, Mr . Euler the taller one . The white haired lady at the upper left is Mrs . Euler's mother, Mrs . John Stapleton . Next to her is Mrs . McPherson, then John Kennety Euler and his mother Ella Euler holding her baby daughter , Phyllis Euler Rancour . The others on the lower steps are Doris Euler Hatcher and Isabelle Euler Frykman. Shortly after this was taken Mr . Euler put a large stone porch on the house which stands at 316 West Washington and is now the home of Rodney Street . Doris Frykman A BirthdayP arty The "birthday girl" in this picture is Elizabeth Spencer (Mrs . Wendell Page). As you will note, hair ribbons were the "in" thing back in the early 1920's when this was taken . At that time the Spencers lived in the large home located at 814 West Grand River .

Doris Frykman Horse Power on the Latson Centennial Farm One hot summer day in 1907 when Albert Latson and men came up for their noon meal they found a photographer waiting to take farm pictures . Quickly they lined up their teams with the windmill and barns for background and the result was this picture of these beautiful animals. These horses and men were the work force on the 500 acre farm . The women cooked 3 meals a day for all. Never again will such a scene be possible for 35 years later not a horse was left on the farm as tractors and other newly invented machines had taken over much of the work . Fewer men were needed also . For most of his working years Albert farmed 500 acres. He built two large basement barns , the larger being for his dairy herd when the Borden's milk factory came to Howell. He also had a large grainery built and chicken houses and tool sheds as needed . The farm home was built in pioneer days by the brother of Edward Latson. John was a master carpenter and built originally a large 8 room 2 story frame house to which was later added a large kitchen, pantry and open sided wood shed with storage attic above where we, the grandchildren, were introduced to spinning wheels, candle molds, candle lanterns and rope spring hand made beds . Hazen & Nellie Latson The Dolph Family Jonathan Dolph, wife Maranda, and five children moved from New York state via of Canada to Livingston County in the early 1840's. They settled north of the village of Howell on what was later called the Staley farm. The children married, Mary Ann to Elias Mann , Catherine to Wm . Carpenter of New Hudson, Simon to Catherine Andrews, and after her death married Axa Cordelia Howe, Margaret married Wm. Earl and Sylvanus married Catherine Canfield . They were simple farm people and probably their greatest mark in history was the loss of their two, union soldier, sons in the Civil War . Simon (pictured) enlisted in the 8th. Mich . Vol . Inf. Co. Bat Pontiac , Mich ., Feb . 29, 1864, was taken prisoner at the Battle of Spottsylvania, Va ., May 12, 1864. Imprisoned at Andersonville Prison in Georgia, he died Aug. 14, 1864.

Descendant of this family still lives in the county . Harold Dolph The old Bickhart Flour Mill on the site of the present Coop Mill, North Walnut . 30 Fisher-MorganF arm A parcel of Section 34 of Cohoctah Township was purchased from Mary Sanford by Edward Fisher on June 9, 1854. Edward Fisher was the son of Adam Fisher who was one of the first settlers of Chemungville, or what is now called Oak Grove. Edward married Cornelia Vandercook, and had two daughters, Florence and Myra . When Edward died on April 21, 1893, he left his estate to his wife and two daughters . Florence married Albert Staley and Myra married Jerry W. Roberts. Jerry and Myra bought the property, April 22, 1893. They had one child, Laura Roberts.

Howell Residents by 1840 The Livingston County Historical Society has sponsored a project of the collection of picture of Howell's earliest settlers, particularly those who were in Howell before 1840. It is hoped that in time pictures of settlers before 1850 may also be collected. MRS. JAMES SAGE Mrs . Mary G. Sage, wife of James Sage, Sr. was one of the first three women to settle in Howell. She was born 1786 and came to Howell May 14, 1834 with her husband, James Sage, Sr. The other two women were her daughter-in-law, Louisa Austin, the wife of her son, George T.

GAY Edward Fairbanks Gay was born August 30, 1800i n Sharon Conn., the son of Edward Gay and Mary White. His parents , Edward Gay and Mary White moved in 1806 to Franklin, Delaware County, New York. Edward F. Gay first moved to the Mohawk River region of New York and then to Ann Arbor, Mich. where he resided six years before he moved to Howell in 1837. He bought some merchandise of Mr. Flavius J.B. Crane which Mr. Crane had stored in the attic of Amos Adams' Eagle Tavern. Mr. Crane had sold merchandise from the Tavern for a few months before abandoning this project. With these goods Edward F . Gay opened a store in the second frame dwelling in Howell, and was the pioneer storekeeper . Part of this store was wrecked, and the remaining part was moved to the south side of West Sibley Street, west of Center Street. Mr. Gay was the first native-born New Englander to reside in Howell.

ELIZABETH RIDDLE McPHERSON WILLIAM McPHERSON When Elizabeth Riddle McPherson and William McPherson arrived Sept. 17, 1836 from Invernesshire, Scotland, they had been more than two months traveling . Their voyage aboard a sailing vessel had taken six weeks . Then they came by Erie Canal, Lake Erie, and Stage Coach to the area now known as Howell. The children who came with them were Isabella, who was four, William Jr. the second child, and Alexander , age three months . Born in the new country later were Elizabeth, Martin, John, Edward Gregory, Mary Lenore, and Ella. Elizabeth and William came to join Elizabeth's father, Andrew Riddle, in blacksmithing, and her two brothers who had bought farms in Oceola. Elizabeth Browning wrote later of her grandmother (Elizabeth Riddle McPherson) "falling in love with some property that reminded her a bit of Scotland-hills and a pretty lake, which was very picturesque, but poor farm land. Being very poor, and with four children to support, it became necessary for grandfather to do something about it. As a boy in Inverness, Scotland he used to spend time watching men at a forge in a blacksmith's shop. So that was something he could turn his hand to. It kept his family for a few years, and then he opened a general store with his brother-in-law William Riddle (1842). Later this became Wm. McPherson and Sons and was run under that name until 1925." Elizabeth (Bess) Browning, who was a daughter of Mary Lenore McPherson and her husband Dr. Thomas Browning, also told that her grandparents, Elizabeth and William McPherson were Scotch Presbyterians and the church was their main interest. They gave generously and also entertained ministers from all over the country at their home. The ministers were well educated and took wit and wisdom into their home. At one time while the parsonage was being remodeled, the minister, Mr. Foster, and his family of eight, lived at the McPhersons . Elizabeth Riddle and William McPherson were remembered for their kindliness . Their family and descendants have been influential in the development of Howell. DR. GARDNER WHEELER Dr . Gardner Wheeler was born 1794 in Massachusetts . He moved early to Norwich, Chenango County, New York when it was the "Far West". He studied in Chenango County under Dr. Mitchell and Dr. Wilcox and there married his wife, Fanny . He settled first in Washtenaw County at Scio, a year before he came to Howell in 1838. When Dr . Wheeler came to Michigan he left a brother, Joel Wheeler and a sister, Mrs. Mary Ambler in New York state. He also had three half-sisters in Chenango County; Abigail and Calpurnia Smith and Mrs. Calista Scott. But most important to Howell's settlement were his three half-brothers ; Villeroy E ., John W., and Elisha H. Smith. Elisha H. Smith wrote the first history of Howell in 1868.T he Smiths left West Bloomfield or Honeyoe, N.Y. and settled west of Howell in 1835.

Armstrong in 1885, the land being part of an 80 acre farm sold to John D. Pinckney by the U.S . Government in 1833. It stood on what is now Swann Ct. Frank R. Crandall purchased it in 1915. L. Harold Crandall , a son, relates that a horse barn which housed 4 or 5 horses and that many rigs stood out back . Esbon Swann took possession in 1926. It was around that time that part of Grand River was being bricked and it is rumored that Jackson prisoners doing the labor on it were housed here. Esbon Swann tore part of it down and moved the remainder to 115 Swann Ct . and is now occupied by Ed & Betty McKeon who purchased it in 1943. Shields' Home It is not known when the house at 1325 West Grand River was built but probably in the late 1850s. The Freeman Fishbecks moved into the house in 1864 purchased from Mrs . Blackmun. Later the Frank Hubbells lived there who sold to Mr . and Mrs . John Haas . Mr . and Mrs . Frank Shields bought it from Henry Haas in 1923. They completely renovated the interior of the house but the exterior was left in its original style of architecture except for the sun porch built at the back of the house to replace the lean-to porch . They also built the barn and garage. Mr . Shields died in 1960 and in 1965 Mrs . Shields sold the house and forty acres to the Sieben Corporation . Mr . and Mrs. Leigh Thomas lived in the house until the death of Mrs . Thomas . Then it was sold to Mr . and Mrs . Maynard King in July of 73. Mary Shields 34 Swann built 3 small brick houses, one on the court and two on Grand River and a cottage on Earl Lake, from the remainder .

Van Keuren Reprinted from the University of Michigan Quarterly Review The Van Keuren Centennial Farm , situated five miles northeast of Howell in Oceola Township, Livingston County, Michigan, was homesteaded by my grandfather, Charles Van Keuren, in 1836. At that time, just prior to Michigan's being admitted to statehood in 1837, the land was in the Northwest Territory . The original land patent bears the signature of Martin Van Buren , then President of the United States, by his son A. Van Buren, his personal secretary , and Joshua S. Wilson, acting recorder of the General Land Office of the United States Government. Charles Van Keuren, before migrating to the west, had been a member of the New York City Police Force . In order to supplement his income, he had also engaged in fine cabinet making. As one of his police duties, he belonged to a troop of cavalry which served as an honor guard on special occasions. Real estate promoters, in those days, evidently served as colonizers and prospectors for land at a price per acre. When they came back from their trips to the Far West with maps and other information regarding the lands they had surveyed, it was their custom to assemble groups of prospective pioneers. My grandfather joined one such group in the year 1834, and came west from New York State to prospect. He brought with him a nephew, Tjerick Van Keuren. Finding conditions as they had been reported, he selected an acreage near where Howell is now located. It was in a hilly section with a little stream running through it, and a large spring conveniently near the spot where he decided to build his house. This stream is still known as Van Keuren's Creek. For temporary shelter , they set up poles, which they covered with marsh hay. This crude shelter, somewhat like an Indian wigwam, served them until, with the help of neighboring settlers , they were able to build a log cabin. They then began the galling task of cutting out the timber, burning the trees and underbrush, in order to clear the land on which to plant their crops. In about a year, they were able to comply with the requirements for a land patent, and returned to New York City to bring their families out to their new home in the West. The trip West was long and tedious. Their furniture , bedding, and cooking utensils were loaded on a barge drawn by mules driven along a towpath on the banks of the Hudson to Albany ; thence, by way of the Erie Canal to Buffalo; there they embarked on a Lake Erie steamer for the port of Detroit. Thus far, the trip had been by water and had not been too difficult or unpleasant; but from Detroit to their destination it was, indeed, tough going. It was along rough, narrow trails, through dense woods and across vast marshes by ox team and wagon. The main trail west from Detroit passed through Ypsilanti and Ann Arbor to Dexter . From there, it branched off to my grandfather's log cabin, which was twenty-five or thirty miles to the north. The abstract of title covering the land which my grandfather received from the Government in the year 1836s hows no record of any mortgage ever having been filed. Evidently no money had been borrowed for the erection of buildings or for making improvements on the farm . With the frugal habits of the pioneer, my grandfather must have accumulated funds for the development of his holdings, for in the 1850's he was able to build a large house near the site of the log cabin. This house, after a hundred years, still stands. It has experienced many vicissitudes , but it has finally been restored as far as possible to its original state . In 1951 it was honored by the Detroit Edison Company, which presented a centennial plaque in a ceremony witnessed by neighbors and friends, marking it as one of the "State Centennial Farms." After proof of ownership the Michigan Historical Commission issued a certificate, signed by the Governor and other state officers, along with members of the Commission, that the farm had been in the family for over a hundred years. The house was a replica of houses common in New York State in the 1850's. Since my grandfather was a Hollander, it was also reminiscent of the Dutch houses along the Hudson River . It was built almost entirely of timber cut on the land. The frame was of hewn logs, pegged together with dowel pins. The doors, window frames , stair treads, and banisters were of solid black walnut, fashioned and molded with hand tools. My grandfather had been a skilled cabinet-maker in Holland, as is evidenced by the beautiful , heavy walnut cornices over the windows and doors. As the house was built on the side of a hill, the entrance to the kitchen was made conveniently from ground level through a typical Dutch door. The cooking had originally all been done in the huge fireplace with its Dutch oven. Adjoining the kitchen, excavated from the side of the hill, there was a large cellar, in which the pans of milk were set on shelves hung from the ceiling for the milk to cool and for the cream to rise. In this cellar there were also huge bins for storing potatoes and other vegetables for winter use. There was a pantry convenient at hand, and a comfortable nook with a couch on which Grandmother Van Keuren could rest and smoke her pipe-a habit not unusual for elderly women of her generation . Meals were served in this comfortable kitchen-huge platters of salt pork, or, occasionally, of chicken, with heaps of potatoes and vegetables , all placed on the table so that everybody, even the hired man , with his sleeves rolled up and his hair slicked down, could help himseH. The coffee was kept hot in the fireplace, and was poured as required. As all the men had beards in those days, they used "mustache cups." It was customary to pour the coffee into their saucers, balancing them on the tip of the thumb and their fingers. It was also quite proper to cool the coffee by blowing across it somewhat noisily and sipping it with a loud inhaled breath. From the basement kitchen , stairs led to the first floor, where one entered a large room, which is now used as a dining room. An upper kitchen , adjoining it, is now fully equipped with electric refrigerator , stove, and other modern conveniences. Opposite the dining room, across the hall, there was a large parlor and a parlor bedroom in which we four boys were born. The long center hall, with stairs leading to the upper rooms, ran straight through from the front door to the rear door. There were altogether fourteen rooms, including a large attic. The house was thus a four-story house on the south side but a three-story house on the north side. Not far from the house were a large horse barn with stalls and partitions of solid black walnut, a large hay-and-straw barn , a granary , a tool shed, and a large sheep barn with a hay-and-grain loft. In addition to these buildings, there was a large, separate washhouse and laundry , in which a barrel of soft soap was always ready for use. This was connected with the woodshed. There were also a smokehouse for curing hams, a henhouse, hog pens, and of course , the regulation "Chic Sales." These buildings had all been built by whatever 35 skilled carpenters could be obtained in those pioneer days, with the help of friendly neighbors, who volunteered their services in old-fashioned "raising bees." Clearing the land, cutting down and burning the trees , pulling stumps, breaking ground with the heavy breaker plow drawn by oxen to prepare the fields for planting-it takes little imagination to appreciate the back-breaking work required for all those operations . The pioneer women, too, had their full share of work-cooking the meals , washing, spinning, weaving, making clothes, caring for their children, and, in general , keeping their families going. Threshing time was a gala time. The neighbors all turned out to help-the men in the fields, in the mow, pitching bundles to the thresher table, stacking the straw; the women helping in the kitchen preparing the hearty midday meal and helping serve it to the hungry workers. We older boys do not forget the mammoth slices of bread spread heavily with butter and brown sugar which we got when we came home from school on those happy occasions. No banquet ever tasted as good. The Van Keuren family was typical of hundreds of pioneer families that settled in the Michigan wilderness in the 1830's and '40's and '50's. Our state owes much to their courage, their thrift, and their sturdy industry . My grandfather and grandmother had, in the course of years, acquired a family of five children, two of whom died in infancy. It was quite evident that they could not manage to give all of them an eduction beyond that afforded by the district school of their neighborhood. The only daughter , Martha, obtained a teacher's certificate and taught country school for a number of years . Grandfather himself had had educational opportunities, but he was a highly intelligent man, a master craftsman, and he was ambitious for one of his sons, at least, to have a high school and college education. The lot fell to James I., possibly because he was the eldest son. At what sacrifices one may imagine , the family saw to it that James should attend high school at Howell, five miles to the southwest, and should prepare himself for the entrance examinations at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. James I. had a keen, brilliant mind and a serious appreciation of what an education could mean to him. He made the most of his opportunities. He not only passed the examinations for entrance into the University, but, in due course, completed the prescribed curriculum of the Law School with a creditable record . He was graduated in the spring of 1862. He opened his law office that autumn and began his practice in Hubbardston in Ionia County, a small village in a rich agricultural community. In those first years, as a young lawyer, James Van Keuren made a brilliant beginning. He had few competitors, and soon built up a profitable practice. Hardly had he established himself in his practice, however, when he was faced with a critical decision. His father, now an aging man, had been stricken with a serious illness. His mother, a frail little woman, aging also and unable to supervise the farm, needed James at home. Apparently he had no choice but to go back home to look after the large sheep and stock farm. He seems not to have hesitated. He closed his office and went back to the farm. No doubt he secretly hoped that it was but a temporary interruption of his professional career. Unfortunately, it was almost two decades before he was able to resume his practice. It was really a heroic sacrifice for my father to make, but I do not remember ever hearing him utter a word of complaint or of regret. Possibly those years at the farm gave him the time to read and to meditate, which was quite to his liking. He was a man of scholarly taste and great physical and intellectual vitality . However taxing his farm duties became, his cultivation of his literary taste and his philosophical 36 reflection on life and its meaning were unflagging. During those years he accumulated a valuable library of scientific books on philosophy, astronomy, and biology. He was fascinated by the new Darwinian theory . He read Latin and Greek, and both French and German. He subscribed regularly to a German language newspaper. He read the Bible and puzzled over the apparent conflict between the account of creation given in Genesis and the new Darwinian theory . He found great zest in discussing that conflict and other theological problems with the Methodist minister in Howell, a Rev. Mr. Kilpatrick . He wrote voluminously, especially articles for the Livingston Republican , published in Howell. Their theme was "searching for the truth in everyday living." They appeared under the general heading: "The Old Thought and the New Thought." I have a file of those articles. They are evidently the product of a scholarly, philosophical mind. Possibly those years, with the long, quiet winter evenings, were compensation for the interruption of his professional career. It was fifteen years after James Van Keuren 's graduation that Fanny Ann Morgan came into his life. She was a little country schoolteacher, the daughter of Benjamin A. Morgan. Perhaps the most important contribution Fanny Ann Morgan made to our future as a family was the inheritance of a new and distinctly different strain. From our Van Keuren father we had inherited a taste for reading, a passion for study, and a thirst for all that education could give us. From Fanny Ann Morgan, our mother, there came to us an inherited urge for artistic expression and for invention. Our mother's mother, Grandmother Morgan, was related to Thomas Edison's mother, and my mother's brother , Benjamin Boomer Morgan, "Uncle Ben," as we knew him, became an inventor of some note. One of his inventions, a railroad safety blocksignal, was adopted years ago by the Michigan Central Railroad. It was, however, as professional portrait painters that both he and his brother, "Al," became known. They had had, of course, only limited training, but their work was notable. Portraits of our Van Keuren grandparents, painted by B. B. Morgan in the 1870's, hang today in our living room at the farm, and a portrait of our father, James I. Van Keuren, has a place of honor in our Lansing home. B. B. Morgan lived in Ann Arbor during the 1880'sa nd early 1890's, and during those years painted several portraits of members of the University faculty. Three of them, of Governor Alpheus Felch, of Professor Edward Olney, and of Henry Betts Parsons, conspicuous examples of his skill as an artist, are still in the University's art collection. "Uncle Al," Allen A. Morgan, was also a successful portrait painter and photographer. He did a portrait of former Governor Groesbeck's father, who lived in Mt. Clemens, in Macomb County. Uncle Al told me that when he was working on this portrait young Alex, who later became Governor of Michian, was a harum-scarum barefoot boy whose chief joy was spearing frogs in the marshes around Mt. Clemens. Like her two brothers, our mother was endowed with an artistic temperament. She had had lessons in oil painting and took great pleasure in her palette and brushes. Two of her landscapes hang on the walls at the old farm today. One is copied after a picture of the ruins of Carthage. The other is a jungle scene of the Amazon. Her easel brushes, palette, and paint tubes were tabu so far as we boys were concerned, but they quite fascinated us. How we did want to dabble a bit with the brushes and oils! The temptation was almost irresistible when there was a nice white canvas tacked on a frame on Mother's easel just waiting for something to happen. One day we got our hands on a paint tube and proceeded to experiment. Unfortunately, we squeezed just a little too hard and then, to our consternation, found that we couldn't possibly force the paint back into the tube. Our mother was no Sherlock Holmes, but she had little difficulty in finding the culprit. Another interest of these two brothers of our mother was violin-making. If the Italians could make beautiful, richtoned instruments, why couldn't they? B. B. Morgan was the first of the brothers to take up violin-making. It seemed to challenge his craftsmanship in wood-working. Then Al felt confident that he could make a better violin than his brother . Al had the advantage of being younger than Ben and, as he lived near Portland, Maine, where the long winters and deep snows kept people indoors, he had more leisure time than his brother to work at his hobby. He became so well known for his skill as a violin-maker that he was elected president of the New England Violin-Makers' Association. At his death, I was appointed executor of his estate . An inventory of his possessions disclosed over one hundred violins strung up like curing tobacco leaves in his attic. So far as I could determine, he had never sold one of them in his life. He had made one after another, evidently with the hope that his product would ultimately match for excellence the best of the famous old Italian violins. I still have in my possession a few of those he made . Experts have judged them excellent as to workmanship, finish, graduation , and tone. I have never painted , as my mother and uncles did, but I have, in later years, become a camera fan ; I take great pleasure in my battery of cameras, and in experimenting with every sort of gadget. I find color photography a very satisfactory substitute for the painting which, considering my heritage, I suppose I should have done. And since the days when, as a little boy, I played my violin in our little orchestra-the four of us-I have had a passionate interest in violins. Like my uncle Ben Morgan, I have through the years made a collection of rare violins. It is now my great pride . One of them was made in Warsaw in 1846 by a Polish violinmaker. It was brought to the United States by Michael Press when he came to this country to teach violin at Michigan State College in East Lansing. After his death, I purchased it and presented it to Emily Mutter Adams, a talented Howell girl who is now a member of the first violin section of the Detroit Symphony Orchestra. She had studied under "Mike" Press, and has felt it a privilege to play her former teacher's violin. Before disposing of his instrument, my son Paul and I had Rubinoff try it out when he was in Lansing for a concert. He pronounced it a fine instrument and wanted to purchase it. He found it especially interesting because it had a neck a quarter-inch longer than standard. I also have a genuine Guarnerius and a very fine old violin that claims to be a Stradivarius. It is interesting to note that the artistic temperament of the Morgans has been transmitted from one generation to another . One of my sons, James Stewart Van Keuren, studied art as a part of his course in architecture at the University of Michigan, and has now taken up painting as a pastime . One of the sons of Admiral Van Keuren , Alex, Jr ., has simsilarly become interested in painting both in oil and in water-colors . And their work is strikingly similar. Both cousins find pleasure in playing the piano, as does my son Paul, who studied music with private teachers at Cranbrook and at Michigan State College. He is an accomplished pianist and also sings in the church and in the Orpheus Club in Lansing . My parents were married in the little country church near the farm in 1877. Within six years they had the four sturdy boys to whose upbringing and education they devoted themselves with wholehearted consecration . Those were happy years for all of us-those years at the old farm . To be sure Grandfather was gone, and we missed him, but the frail little grandmother presided as the matriarch of the family . It was really our wonderful mother , however, who managed us all, including Father . He entered so wholeheartedly into everything that interested his four boys that he was almost like another boy himself. He boxed and wrestled, coasted and skated, and played our rough games with us; and was always able to see our point of view when arguments arose. It must be admitted , however, that he held us all strictly to our prescribed duties . His whole life interest, at that time, was concentrated on training, disciplining, and inspiring us to make ourselves strong, agile, both physically and intellectually . His boys were his compensation for the sacrifice he had made in interrupting the career for which he had prepared himself. His devotion and his consideration for our mother, and his unstinting cooperation with her in her plans for us, left a lasting impression on all of us. Mother saw to it that our prescribed duties on the farm and our joyous outdoor activities did not interfere with our school work. Having been a teacher, she was able to help us in our difficulties, and she felt it her duty to hold us strictly to our school routine. She observed our progress, criticized us sharply, but tactfully, and when, at last, she saw the district school was no longer adequate for our development, she insisted that Father rent the farm and move to Howell. There we boys would have the advantages of the high school. Neither she nor Father had ever, for a moment, thought of the possibility of our not having a college education . The plan commended itself to us all . Father was glad to resume, at long last, his practice of law; Mother looked forward to the more congenial life in a community, where she would find friends with tastes like her own. Even Grandmother, young in spirit, though now nearing ninety, also approved the plan. Accordingly, the farm was rented to a German family by the name of Snively, and we went to town. We soon found ourselves settled in a rented house on a pleasant shady street in the busy little town of Howell. Father was as eager and proud of his law office, just off Main Street , with its swinging sign "James I. Van Keuren," as if he had suffered no interruption of his life plans for those many years. Fortunately, while at the farm he had maintained his personal contacts with his friends in town. He had written often for the weekly Howell paper. He was known as a serious, thoughtful, clever man . The town welcomed him back-he would be a useful citizen. Very shortly, he began to see his practice return to him. The household at Howell, during those first years, was in charge of three wonderful women who had a great affection for each other and a rare faculty for working together harmoniously- " Grandmother Charlotte," still bright and active ; "Aunt Martha, " my father's maiden sister ; and "Fanny Ann," our adored mother. Things at home ran smoothly, and we four boys found life in town full of interest. We made new friends at school and in our neighborhood, and were thrilled by the prospect of preparing for college. Then, suddenly, within one single year, all the beloved women of our family were taken by death , and Father was left alone with four boys to care for. It was a tragic year, indeed, for us all . Grandmother Charlotte was ninety-two; her death seemed in the order of nature . Aunt Martha , too, was elderly. But Mother seemed so young and so· full of life! She had just nursed us four boys through a terrible illness. There had been in Howell one of those epidemics of diphtheria which were so common in those days before antitoxins had been developed. Shortly after we had all recovered, Mother, assuming that she would have developed immunity to the disease , went to offer her help to one of her neighbors who had diphtheria. She was taken violently ill shortly afterward and died. Her loss was a blow that stunned us all. After a few months of helpless groping, Father was fortunate in obtaining a housekeeper, Mrs. Gillette, who proved 37 a great help to us. She brought her own little boy with her, so that Father found himself with us five boys, besides himself and Mrs. Gillette, to support. To feed, clothe, and educate a family of five boys was no slight task, especially in the early 1890's, when the country was suffering the depression of the Cleveland administration. If we had not had the farm to supply us with some of the necessities-potatoes, beans, pork, fruit, butter, and eggs-we would not have fared as well as we did. Money was scarce, especially as Father's clients had little or none with which to pay for his legal services. As business was, of necessity, conducted by barter and the exchange of produce for groceries and meats, Father had cordwood cut on shares at the farm and delivered to the stores where we had bills for produce of one sort or another. One of our Saturday jobs was to drive Ned, the old family horse, out to the farm, where we hitched the team, Boney and Bill, to the wagon and loaded up a couple of cords of wood to deliver in town to people to whom Father owed bills. Then we had to drive back to the farm in the empty wagon to get our horse and buggy. By the time we reached home at night we had had quite a day of it. We were fortunate, of course, to have all the wood we needed for our own use, and we did use a lot. I well remember the huge pile of "chunk wood" in our back yard that we boys had to split and pile in the woodshed, cord on cord for use in the kitchen cookstove and in the large wood stove in the living room which was conveniently placed between the parlor and Father's bedroom. We boys did all we could to help earn what we needed for clothes and spending money. We worked during summer vacations at odd jobs of all sorts. We mowed lawns, worked on farms; even sold books and tool subscriptions for magazines. One summer, I remember, I went into partnership with Emil Bode, a friend of my brothers. We managed somehow to acquire a view camera which used 5x7 and 8x10 glass negatives. We walked through the country taking pictures of farm buildings, livestock, and family groups, which we developed, printed, and finished after we returned to Howell. We then went back over the same route to sell and deliver the pictures. There wasn't much profit in this project , but it helped piece out our limited personal budgets and it developed an interest in photography which has been my personal hobby ever since. By one project or another, all four of us were able to supplement what our father was able to provide us for our college education. Charles, Alex, and Harry all, in due course, attended the University of Michigan. Charles the eldest, was graduated in the class of 1902w ith the Bachelor of Arts degree. To help with his expenses, he waited table at a boardinghouse, did advertising on a student publication, and almost anything else that came his way. In his senior year he reported for the Toledo Blade and for several other papers, which brought him into the acquaintance of Fielding H. Yost, "Hurry-up Yost," the famous football coach. Charles and some of his newspaper friends conceived the idea that, if Yost would write a book on football, it would sell like hot cakes because of his reputation as a successful coach. Yost finally consented to furnish the copy, diagrams of plays, and photographs of the teams, if Charles and his friends would provide the text. This book was published as Football for Player and Spectator. At this point I enter the scene. Yost wanted someone to look after finances on the project, keep records of sales, pay bills, and render accounts. Charlie got me to come over on week-ends from Howell, where I was working in a bank, to set up and keep the records on the project. The first edition of the book sold quite widely to coaches and students in high schools all over this country and even in foreign countries, wherever there were Amaricans interested in football. When the mail orders began to pour in, as a result of our advertising in Youth's Companion and other 38 publications , our success went to our heads, and we rashly placed a huge order for a second edition. Unfortunately, by the time the books were off the press the football season was over; we had a monstrous supply of the books and, of course, no demand for them as Christmas was approaching and enthusiasm for football had cooled with the winter snows. It was fun, anyway, while it lasted, but right then and there I decided to keep clear of the publishing business. After his graduation from the University of Michigan, Charles went into politics. He was elected to the State House of Representatives on the Republican ticket from Livingston County. From that time and during his entire business life, both he and his wife, Florence, were active workers in Republican politics. While engaged in developing oil properties and various industrial enterprises, he found time to report and write for a number of important newspapers and periodicals . He died in 1950 at the age of seventy-two, leaving his widow and married daughter, Betty, with two granddaughters who now live in Detroit. Alex, or "Al" as he was called by his associates, worked at odd jobs during his freshman year at the University of Michigan. On returning home at the end of that year , he found that his younger brother, Harry, had entered a competitive examination for appointment to the Naval Academy at Annapolis. When the examination was to be held in Pontiac, Father sent "Brother Al" along with Harry as a sort of sponsor, because Harry had never been that far away from home before. Harry unfortunately did not pass his physical examination; so Al decided that he would take the examination in his place. Al not only passed his physical examination but had the highest marks of all the contestants and, by a strange irony of fate, won the appointment to Annapolis. Al was an excellent student; he was graduated number one in his class at the Academy. He divided the number-one honors in his class, however, with his roommate, who strangely enough, had exactly the same scholastic grades for the four-year course . This was the only time that two midshipmen in the same class had ever been graduated from the Academy as number-one men ; I doubt if it has ever happened since. After his graduation from Annapolis as an ensign, Al joined the Pacific Fleet on the battleship Wisconsin and saw service in the Philippines, Japan, and China. While on this duty, he was ordered back to the United States for further education in engineering at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. After graduation he entered the Navy Bureau of Construction and Repair, in which he served in nearly all the navy yards in the country. He was finally appointed, by President Roosevelt, Chief of the Bureau of Ships, U.S.N. He was held over as a rear admiral during the Second World War, even though he was beyond retirement age, in order to take advantage of his valuable experience gained during a lifetime in the Navy. He is now retired and lives in Washington, D.C., with his wife Helen. They have one son, Alex, Jr ., who has followed in his father's footsteps; he served in the Naval Reserve as a lieutenant senior grade during the Second World War. Their daughter, Frances, who is now married and has two children, entered the service of her country in the WAVES. It has thus been a strictly Navy family. In fact, the Van Keurens were represented in the different branches of the Navy be a rear admiral, a lieutenant commander, a senior lieutenant, and three WAVES. Harry, after his graduation from Howell High School, entered the engineering college at the University of Michigan. He was so disappointed at not getting an opportunity to take the examination for appointment to Annapolis that he left Ann Arbor and enlisted in the old 14th U.S. Cavalry, then stationed at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas. He hoped in this way to gain a commission from the ranks. He would probably have done so if I had not, through political influence in Washington, obtained his discharge. He had misrepresented his age when he enlisted and had not had Father's consent, as was required, because he was underage. After his discharge, he continued his education at M.I.T. and later at Columbia University, from which he was graduated with a degree in engineering. After graduation he spent some time at his chosen profession both in the United States and in Mexico. When the First World War broke our Harry was commissioned captain in the Air Force and sent to Langley Field, Virginia, to help develop and test planes of all types for the government. British, French, and Italian planes were sent to this field for testing, and experienced flyers from these countries came over to advise and help build better fighter planes for our forces . In the Second World War Harry joined the Inventors' Council in Washington, D.C., to assist in helping improve all types of military equipment. As a result of his strenuous work in the service of his country while on his last assignment with the Inventors' Council, he suffered a heart attack and passed away in a Washington hospital. He rests in Arlington National Cemetery with other loyal patriots who gave their lives to make this country what it is today. He is survived by his wife, Marie Steel Van Keuren, and two daughters, Katherine and Virginia, who both served as WAVES during the war . On June 18, 1913, I married Miss Margaret M.

Ruins of the mill after it burned on April 15, 1915. The Love Family Henry G. Love and his family arrived in New York City from England on the 10th of June, 1836, and immediately began a journey westward, with the intention of settling in Illinois. Proceeding to Albany by steamer, they disembarked , and again continued their journey to Rochester, N .Y . by the Erie Canal . At the latter city the female portion of the family were left in comfortable quarters, while the father and son, Thomas, kept on via the canal to Buffalo; thence by lake steamer to Detroit. In Detroit they met some English friends who had already entered land in Township 2 North, of Range 4 East and were persuaded by them, on their representations, to enter lands in present town of Marion. Henry G. Love purchased 4 lots of the west half of Section 33, situated South of Cedar Lake . About the first thing done, after getting settled, was the cutting of the largest whitewood tree to be found on Mr . Bavin's premises, this was fashioned into a huge ca'noe, and launched upon Cedar Lake . This was the first boat placed on the lake by white men, and proved a source of great benefit to the settlers, for, as one of them remarked, "There was an abundance of fish in Uncle Sam's waters ." These remarks taken from History of Livingston County, date 1880. Henry T. Love, son of Thomas and Lavina Love, was born in 1843. He stayed home and worked with his father until he was a young man. On September 17, 1873 he married Sarah Lakin. They bought 80 acres in Section 20 of Marion Twp. Floyd Love, son of Henry T. Love and Sarah Love was born Oct. 2, 1876 on the old farm. Floyd Love bought the farm when he was a young man . In 1912 it was known as Loves Corners. As a young man he went to Marion Twp. school in the old town hall. On March 31, 1915 he married Hazel Huff in the house he was born in . Running water and a furnace were installed soon after . To this union were born four children, three boys and one girl. The boys Charles, Fred and Bruce were born in the family house, Mary was born in Pinckney Sanitarium. Charles and Fred attended school at Marion Center, later the Andersen School. Mary and Bruce attended Andersen School. All four children went to Howell High School. In 1927, the family farm was sold and the family bought 300 acres in Section 16 & 17 of Marion Twp . Charles Love was married to Dorothy Miller in 1937, land was purchased in Section 16 & 17, Marion Twp . Charles is still farming this land. Two children were born, Norman, and Charlene Love . Fred Love was married to Elna Kleinschmidt in 1940. Fred farmed in Conway Twp . and is semi-retired on land in Conway Twp. Mary Love married Henry Miller in 1946. Four girls were born, Carol, Virginia, Rebecca, and Marlene . The Miller family are farmers in Conway Twp . Bruce Love was married in 1948 to Grace Riemenschneider, they have one son Paul, who is farming with his father , on the family farm. Thus have we briefly traced the settlement here of a small company of English people-men and women of sterling worth-who, to the present time, have honored themselves and the land of their adoption .

The Boothy Family By Viola Neil Noah Henry Boothby was born in Lockport New York, 1831. His father was a shoemaker. He learned the trade and came to Michigan, settled in Howell in 1954 on Mason Road. The Indians had a trail that led to the Pinckney Rd. They always left before daylight. Noah married Harriet Borger and moved in town, now Michigan Ave. He enlisted in the infantry with the Fighting Fifths . His little son Willis felt bad . He told him he would make him a pair of copper toed boots and they would have their pictures taken . He made the boots, took the picture . A week after he left for the war. A large team and wagon drove up in front of the house to pick up Noah. He was on his way to Pontiac Mich. The wagon was full of drafted men . Willis stood by the muddy road with his little dog Doie. When the horses started up the dog took off and Willis after the dog. His father tried to make the dog go back . No luck, Willis was mud to his knees . His mother was sick. A young boy went to find Willis. He ran over three miles, lost one boot his father made him . But got home safe. His father's boot and his dog were gone. And a sad little boy was left. Willis was six years old. Noah was wounded in service, his leg was saved after eight months in the hospital until he was able to go back to his work as a carpenter. He ran a shop on State St. Butcher shop carving and shoemaking in the back part. By 1875 the large square houses were built again . Noah Boothby, Willis Boothby and Fred Brockway built most of them. The early ones have a lookout on top, the last ones were flat. Noah built his Ann house around 1879 on N. National. He had five children, Willis Boothby, Jennie Rushford, Albert Boothby, Carrie Brockway, Mettie Laurenze. Noah's wife died and Willis stayed with his father . Noah wanted a larger Methodist church. Nights after work he would take the team and stone boat and draw in large stone, then split them so the men could put up the wall. He got his church and he loved it. Noah passed away in 1914 at 82. Willis went on with the carpenter work. He did finish work and log cabin floors. Willis Boothby married Mary Lawrenze from Detroit in 1897. 44 • He loved baseball and played on the Howell team for years . He liked to fish, he caught 26 fish out of one hole. Frank Cooper got 14 fish out of the same hole. This was the talk of Howell Lake about 1910. The last house he built at the age of 76 years. It was on Fowler and Livingston St. Willis was a Methodist also . He got his first skates on the church Christmas tree at 9 years old. He was a good skater. He had two children, Ethel Frey of Detroit and Viola Dunlop at home. He lost his wife in 1920. He still lives in the home his father built. Viola married John Dunlop. Willis made his home with them for twenty eight years, and died in 1945a t the age of 87. John was employed at the Howell pistons 23 years and Electric Red Bond Motors twenty one. Viola had an antique shop on E. Sibley Street for thirty two years. She retired in 1967-they have four children, all in Howell. Margaret Erb, owner of the Erb Lime Stone on Bower.

State St. 45 Culver's Triangle Yes , I remember when - and I th ink there are numerous other "kids my age"-younger,-older , who recall the good t i mes at Culver ' s T ri angle , espec ially du ri ng the JO's and early 1940' s. My folks, Charles K. and Ruth B. CP hi llips) Culver built and operated the Triangle , located on a triangular piece of land (thus the name ), 2½ miles west of Howell on Grand River Avenue . (I always will remember hear i ng those big trucks shifting and grinding up that steep hill!). The original upright was erected in about 1924, and sometime later , my father enlarged the place by adding a double width room across the front , plus porch and entry. At this time, customer service was provided through one of the front windows for drive -in customers, as well as tables available inside for leisure d ining . We also had the old t i me " crank " gasoline pumps . We sold gas and oi l, there was a cabin so travelers or truckers could stay the night , and we also provided space for house trailers. My mother was an excellent cook and for a time we served home style ch icken dinners w ith all the f i xin's , every week-end . However , it proved to be too much for her , so we specia l ized in sandwiches , homemade pies , etc, from then on . Later, my father further improved and enlarged the bu i lding, by enclosing the front entry. Ours was a family operation and we were the chief cooks and bottle washer. The specialty of the house was a variety of delicious Bar - B-Q sandwiches, C Ham, beef, pork and ch icken) enhanced with a special chili sauce . C People still ask me about them .) Many of the local people were regular customers as well as travelers who made it a point to stoo in for some of our sandwiches whenever they were in the area . The Triangle was also a gathering place for th~ school crowd . They could come there, dance and have a good time , not to worry about static at home as a result . It had a family atmosphere and we knew most of our customers by name . They would stop by after the show , fellows would bring their dates for a snack, groups came out after bowling or playing ball . We often had receptions and other special occasions for those requesting it. My father was a great horse shoe pitcher, and kept a court in readiness on the lawn . Whenever he could, he and a customer or two would take time out for a game . My folks gave me a party one winter-it was either for my 16th Birthday or Valentine ' s Day-not sure now , which, but there were quite a few friends from school. We were having a great time dancing to the Juke Box, probably the Beer Barrel Polka or other lively tune and suddenly the door opened to a nearby buffet and a whole stack of 46 china went rattling onto the floor! Surprisingly, nothing was broken , but the incident stuck in our minds and was laughingly mentioned to me several times after that , by those who had been present . In May , the 21st, 1940 I marr ied Don . B. Britten, who was in business w ith his father, C.E . Br itten , Garage and Wrecker Service at 714 E . Gd . River . C Incidentally , the i r phone number at that time was Number 4). In the fall of 1941 my father died suddenly after a short illness. The second World War was in progress, help was hard to find, and due to this, we initiated a self-serve program into the business which eventually proved to be quite popular, since it made for quicker service . I believe we were one of the first to use this method . An episode of a "near miss" stands out in my memory-We had qu ite a few customers that afternoon, when a tornado struck. The sky was black as night and it sounded like many freight tra ins passing over . We could see the ceil i ng fluctuate and the lights dimmed , blinked and went out . We lit some candles and put them in strategic places. We had a gas stove and oven that we used to heat the sand - wiches , so could continue fo fill the orders for our customers. We were lucky . When the storm abated , we found it had wrecked a big barn across the road , but the funnel had lifted enough to miss our building, although it had ripped off all the railing on the roof. We never found any of the signs it blew away . Another incident that went over with a bang, literally! One of our regular customers was traveling east on Grand River . He decided to stop in that afternoon, but when he started to turn, his auto struck a patch of ice on the pavement and the car smashed into the front entrance of our place before the car stopped moving . The gentleman was alone and was not hurt , nor was anyone hurt in the building, but the coll is ion jam med the front door . It had to be removed before anyone could get i n or out . The accident happened on a week-end, so with canvas draped over the entry as securely as possible C middle of winter}, it was business as usual, for about three weeks until repairs could be made . Three years later , we decided to sell the Triangle. It had been under or iginal ownership for over 20 years . After we sold the business , it changed hands several times, and eventually burned to the ground . Since growing up in the business world , I found that even though my husband was in business and we had a growing family, things didn't seem complete without my having a finger in the pie somewhere! My husband and his father discontinued the garage-wrecker business and went into Excavation work for a number of years . Many local people had their basements excavated and lawns graded by C.E . Britten and Son. During this time Don bought his father's share of the business, then later sold the equipment and we entered the new and used furniture business at our farm, still in the Howell area. About 1 s years later we sold the farm and moved to our present location. There has been an unusual twist in our world of business. I play with dolls all day-how's that for a fun occupation? I am referring to Herriette's Doll Hospital and Sales, 205 E . M59, Howell. It is a unique and extremely busy home business where local and distant Michiganders, as well as out of state customers bring or send ailing dolls for "tender, loving care". All kinds of antique and near antique dolls travel many miles to the hospital to be restored back to health. An unlimited variety of handmade costumes are fashioned for these dolls in appropriate styles. Designing originals, or copying old garments or pictures is a specialty. Wigs, stands and other accessories, dressed dolls, kits, old fashioned sunbonnets in all sizes and colors for dolls, children and grown-ups are displayed in the showrooms. This is our 5th year in "Dolls" and we are celebrating along with the Bicentennial. The doll has a limp, and her hair is a mess- There's a pain in her sawdust, she needs help-oh yes! An arm is missing and her eyes are crossed- Her clothing's in shreds and she feels so lost. The poor little darling, long lost in the attic- Send her to Harriette--no need to get frantic. Dolls are my business, its a pleasure for sure- All manner of dolls come here for "the cure"! Now her body's restrung, or patched if its leather- Her eyes are working and she's all together. Every hair is in place--a real lady, but oh- Last but not least-now, wouldn't you know? A new wardrobe to suit her is next, I trust- Especially designed for her age is a must! A little girl and her Christmas gifts. Undies so fine, with tucks, ribbons and lace- Then a gown that is stylish, to flatter her face . No matter the problem, there's always a way- To fix up your doll, so send her today! HARRIETTE ROSE CULVER BRITTEN 47 cars . The Craft Family Laura Jane Hunn was born in Bronson Michigan April 22, 1848. She with her parents Gideon and Anna Hunn moved to this farm in 1850, when she was only two years old .

George Craft died January 19, 1913. Laura Jan Hunn Craft on Oct . 24, 1921. She lived on the farm all her life, except 2 years . There was a log house that stood farther West in the field from the house. We have no picture of the log house. The old part of the house that now stands is well over 100 years old. The beams are logs that were cut from the farm. The new part was built in 1900. The land in the farm was considered about the best in the township. Our greatest attraction was our windmill. It was one that would tilt, so it could be worked on without climbing up . We did this good many times for people to let them see how it works . Only one like that for miles around . Our first car, a Regal, black leather top, we think about a 1913 model. George Craft as a young man worked at the Ann Arbor railroad . When it first went through Howell, Howell was just a swamp he remembers . Our great-great-grandfather Parson Hunn had a big peach orchard. He had one special kind of peach people seem to want called milkatune. It was quite a large peach. I remember I saw just one of them. After some years passed his grandson Harvey wanted to follow in his grandfathers' steps. He started out berries, for a year or two. 48 Then he started his peach orchard, but couldn't find a milkatune peach, so he put in some apple trees. He always had a good sale in Howell and around. He always let the people come to the orchard which they all loved to do . The women would gather the fruit up in their aprons, which my father liked to see. He knew they were all happy , Anna M . Craft 8am Builders Barn building 1913 at the Hardy farm Highland Rd . by the Gontack brothers and Frank Daniels (holding hammer) long time resident of Howell.

Smith The farm (Section 7, Marion Twp.) was taken up from the Government on September 16th, 1835 by my great , great grandfather, Stoddard Smith. He came to Michigan from Greenville, New York at that time. His son, Pierpont, came to Byron Michigan from New York a short time before, and built and operated a water powered mill in that settlement. Soon after 1835, Pierpont came to Marion Twp. and purchased property adjoining that of Stoddard's. The Gus Smith that is mentioned in the Civil War report in The Howell Bicentennial History was Pierpont's son, Wm. Augustus Smith, an older brother of my Grandfather, Junius. Junius also was a soldier in the Civil War was wounded in the same battle in which Gus received his fatal injuries. Stoddard Smith and wife, Betsy Lee, were two of the first burials in the Lake Cemetery, he in 1842 and she in 1847. In later years, Pierpont and his wife and their three sons and three daughters were also buried there . My grandfather, ShropshireS heep Timothy Smith , former post master in Howell and Robert R . Smith, grandfather of Louis Parker Hicks in the i r sheep shearing clothes . This probably was taken about 1868-1870. They acquired quite a reputation for shearing the largest number of sheep in a single day . Junius, was the only one of this large family to have a family (my father , Gus B. Smith, and his two sisters). I am the only son of Gus B. and now own the farm. Now our son, Ron, also has a home on this farm . Order of descendents of owners of this farm (Sec. 7, Marion Twp. Liv.

Indian Legend This Indian Tree is one of six in the state. It is at Cedar Point on Cedar Lake . The legend is when Indian tribes make peace treaties they would take a small oak and bend it in this shape. They would then be friends as long as the tree lived. The tree is believed to be 300 years old . Reed F annhouse Rocky Ridge, dairy and fruit farm on Jewell Road owned by Hiram E. Reed and his wife Rebecca Tubbs Reed. Starting in the early 1900's, their sons, J. Lewis, then Charles P. Reed managed this farm in Marion Township. This picture shows the back of the 14-room house with the windmill used for power . Note under the clump of bushes near the side porch, the stepping-stone rock for passengers and hitching post for buggies. The farm totaled 180 acres, part of it backed on the north side by the Michigan State Sanatorium . Charles P. Reed ( 1878-1955) had master degree in horticulture from Michigan State University and spent five years with the U.S. Department of Agriculture before returning to the farm . He served on the board of directors of the Howell Co-op Company for 27 years and as its president for several terms. His wife , Ora Woodin Reed, remembers leaving the farm at 2 a .m . to take a load of fruit to Detroit's Eastern Market . After the cows were milked, Charles would follow with a second load. All kinds of small fruit were grown on the farm . During harvest time about 40 pickers were needed. Ora Reed recalls when the telephone was installed there were 23 subscribers on their party line. 51 Reed Leader in Holsteins R. Clark Reed was one of the leading livestock growers in Michigan. He owned one of the largest herds of Holstein-Fresian cattle. Fairlawn Farm, located North-East of Howell, owned by Reed- Knowels was known throughout the state for its Champion Holstein cattle.

I'I ' II II Liebermans in 1947 Liebermans Farm Service In the early 1900's Elmer Lieberman ran a very successful business in Detroit Mich . on the weekends he and his family visited his cottage in Oak Grove . As the depression approached he felt he should sell his business in Detroit. In 1930 Elmer and his oldest son John decided to purchase a garage and start a family business to service the rural community of Oak Grove . Elmer's first business was located in the back of a barn located on the corner of Sanford and Faussett Rd. in Oak Grove, now owned by his son Harold . Business was doing so well that Elmer purchased a much larger building on Hicks Rd . now Faussett Rd. formerly owned by the Rohrabacher family, adjacent to Pearce's Store . Elmer was not only a good mechanic but a good machinest , he also was director of local schools. By about 1940 John was married and returned to Detroit and Elmer's younger sons Arnold, Harold and Donald worked for their father in the garage .

Later the building was used as a body shop by his youngest son Donald . Elmer and sons spent many long enjoyable hours meeting new people and serving the community . The business was sold in 1967 and is missed by all.

Frances for many years worked in Howell as a care worker for the Emergency Relief Commission . The Hacker House The two story brick house was built by Frank and Tilly Hacker, in 1883. They had one son Ben . The house replaced a log cabin and was the main house on their large dairy farm . Frank was the first farmer in the county to drive a gas driven tractor . The original house was designed with 5 bedrooms upstairs, a front parlor, large living room, with bay on the south side, large dining room, and kitchen. Through the years the house has been redesigned, inside and out . But some of the spacious 10 ft. ceilings and large rooms still remain. Joseph & Tilly Foldenauer and children lived in the house and ran the farm for about 25 years following the Hackers, and possibly one other family . In 1973 the house was purchased by it's present owners, Paul & Barbara Buwa and their two children . A new demension in the lovely house is the 3 sided field stone and brick fire place that opens into both the living room and dining room. Historical Museum Depot Museum The Toledo-Ann Arbor Depot located at the foot of North Walnut Street was built in 1885-1886. A plank covered tunnel under N . Michigan , State and Court streets to Barnard, carried the tracks east to Grand River, crossing south at about the site of an early Toll Gate on Grand River road . The Depot was purchased in 1970 Dy the Livingston County Historical Society as a museum to house a large DAR collection of memorabilia pertaining to the past of Livingston County. Generous contributions from Livingston County residents have been added to the original collection. Funds for the purchase of the Depot from the railroad were obtained by an auction and County Fair in August of 1969. Total county-wide support made this all day event a great success. The museum and grounds are maintained by the members of the society with proceeds from the Flea Market held on the grounds during the Annual Howell Melon Festival. PAT MALAFOURIS 63 Mrs. Nellie Lansing Glenn Nellie Deborah Lansing shown sitting in her office at the Michigan State Sanatorium . The "San " opened September, 1907. During the first three years , Nellie Lansing was secretary and receptionist , handling patient records, account books and correspondence . On September 7, 1910, she married Dr . Bernard H . Glenn, who had been assistant superintendent of the sanatorium from August to December, 64 1908. They resided in Fowlerville where Dr . Glenn had his medical practice . Nellie Lansing Glenn (1881-1975) was active in the D.A .R. , was charter member of the Livingston County Historical Society , and was a noted expert on the people and history of Livingston County . Mary V . Reed A Howell g i rl , Nellie Lansing , who later married Fowlerville's Dr . B.H . Glenn , for many years was known as Livingston County's historian. Her demise in 1975 saddened many , many hearts. A large part of the DAR , and in recent years the Livingston County Historical Society , were the handiwork of Nellie Glenn . Permanently affixed in the depot museum in Howell of the LCHS is this bronze plaque, recently presented to the Society by two 1911 Howell High grads, Harold Armstrong now of California and George D . Monroe of Howell. Mrs. Nellie Lansing Glenn, a Howell girl of a noted Howell family, married Fowlerville physician Dr . Bernard Glenn , and was the beloved historian of the DAR locally . Later she helped organize the Livingston County Historical Society, and each Chr istmas opened her home to the membership for an old fashioned Christmas . Here in 1971 she chats with Mrs. Dorothy Blanchard , center, president of the LCHS , and with Mrs . Barbara Pettibone , wife of museum curator Norman Pett i bone , both Howell ladies . Anel A . Quigley in front of his gas station at Pinckney Rd . and Coon Lake Rd . in 1934. Quigley Gas Station Quigley came with his folks when six years old in 1872 from New York State to Chesaning , Mich . In 1933 he moved to "Wright's Corners " with his wife Eugenia (Carpenter) , (she was born in Fowlerville and l ived in Howell for many years) and a son Kenneth, just out of high school. Anel had barbered in Chesan ing for 48 years, so he had a barber chair in the station and also sold some candy and tobacco in the limited space . Additional liv i ng quarters were added , but Mr. Quigley passed away in 1939. The station was kept open by Mrs. Quigley and others for a few years , but eventually became the residence of Dorothy and Kenneth Qu igley . In 1960 the corner was sold to Russel Bens i nger, and the Quigleys moved to a new house on the N .W . corner of the four acres . Eugenia passed away in 1956. K.A . Quigley Maycock Centennial Home Th is picture of the Maycock home was taken about f ifty years ago . It is not known how old the house is as it was on the property when James and Mary Ann Maycock, with their three daughters, came from Canada and bought the farm in 186S. Later a son, Harry , was born here . The farm has remained in the family and the third generation of the family lives here . Harry and Carr ie M itchell Maycock , with their three~ons, Donald , Leslie , and Harold , next owned the farm . Now it is owned by Harold and Loreene Maycock who are the parents of Susan Brooks of Detroit and Sarah Coselman of Fowlerville . At one time the house faced on Pingree Road but later the interior 66 was changed to face on Coon Lake Road . The exterior of the house has not been changed in all these years except to be covered with asbestos shi ngles . During the past forty years the house has been modernized with electric ity and running water . The spacious lawn in front of the house still has the large catalpa tree that was here in 186S. It is bel ieved to be one of the largest in the state . Four generations of the family have enjoyed the lawn , and shade of the old tree . Mrs. Harold J . Maycock The Family Car This picture of the Harry Maycock family was taken about 1917 when Donald , the oldest son, was home on furlough from Camp Custer. Don later served in France during the war . Soon after his return he married Sarah Batchelor of Oceola Township and moved to Howell where he opened a tire and battery shop in the building now occupied by the Standard Office Supply . Don was a Howell businessman for many years before his death in 1959. Harold J . Maycock / Green School This old school picture was taken of the Green School in Marion Township located on the corner of Pingree and Vines Roads. This bui lding is still standing but has been converted to a home . Among the families represented in the picture are those of Smith , Ward, Backhus , Moore , Haynes, Horwood , White , Tilson , Devons, Bliss, and Maycock . The Ward and Maycock families are still represented in the neighborhood . Harold J. Maycock 67 I I. The Brady House Though others lived there before us, and after us, the white house with its cupola, charcoal shutters and Victorian wrap-around front porch, at 108 South Street and East Grand River, came to be known as "The Brady House" possibly because our family's tenure was the longest, some 47 years. It has been occupied since 1966 by its present owner, the Ray Kleehammers . Recorded as "Village Lot No. S9 on the Whipple Addition to the Village of Howell," the house is believed to have been built and first occupied by Philo B. Wines and his wife Mary E., some time beforeor just into-the 1870s. It is clearly delineated, from cupola to barn, in an old "bird's-eye-view" picture map of Howell now hanging on a wall of the Old Howell House. Another copy of the map may be seen in the old Howell depot , headquarters of the Livingston County Historical Society . Our parents, Matthew B. and Blanche C. Brady, purchased the house about 1910 from the Winton Fishbeck family, who had bought it in 1903. Records show previous owners to have been the Elizabeth M . Field Family ( 187S to 1896) and Harriet M . and Frank Bailey (1896 to 1903). The exterior of the house, when we moved there, was of white wooden siding, which my father later had covered with "Kello Stone" much in vogue at the time. Now the house appears much the same as it first did to us, since the Kleehammers recently had the old gray stone covered with narrow white vinyl siding . The front porch was also much the same as now, except that my father had it slightly extended, and this porch became almost an extra "room" for us in the summer . We all enjoyed it, but my father, especially, liked sitting there and visiting with the neighbors as they passed by or stopped for . a chat . How times have changed! From some blinds which we found stored in the attic, I am led to believe that the house originally had small windows. However, the existing large windows were in place when we moved there. Various structural changes were made by my parents through the years that followed. Doors and walls were added here, taken away there. A bedroom off the dining room was incorporated into the parlor, and this alcove we call the "music room." The old -fashioned large kitchen was divided, to form an efficient galley kitchen and a generous breakfast room. A woodshed attached to the rear of the house became the present enclosed back porch . A basement was dug under the main part of the house, to supplement the original Michigan cellar. Heat was originally furnished by a base burner in the East Room and by the kitchen range. Registers in the downstairs ceilings carried heat to the bedrooms above . The parlor was little used in winter! 68 Howell had no sewer system when we moved there, and I remember being impressed, as a child, that a switch by the back door turned the light on in the outside "privy." When the sewers were installed, my father had a toilet put into the basement-a great comfort, especially in the winter! Later on, a full bath and half bath were added. I remember clearly, when they were digging for sewers in front of the house, of their digging up remains of the old plank road which ran from Detroit to Lansing. In the early days of our residence, we had four kinds of fruit growing in the yard-a very large cherry tree, a fairly large pear tree, a quince bush, and the same grape vine that still climbs the trellis by the side porch. There were also lilacs and spirea bushes and roses . I have many happy memories of our days in this home . My sisters Katherine and Helen were born there . Fortunately, each of us had plenty of playmates our own ages in the neighborhood. And my brother Edmund and I had a team of Shetland ponies that won us a first prize one Fourth of July, also prizes at the first Livingston County Fair . JOSEPH V. BRADY Wooden Classic Howell has one of only a handful of rare wooden Classic Greek Revival homes left, in the state of Michigan . Crandall Realty and the home of L. Harold Crandall , at 322 East Grand River , is a historical landmark . Greek Revival architecture was used sparingly, in Michigan, before the Civil War . Thomas Jefferson is credited with bringing the style to America. About the time of the Revolutionary War, the home owners in the East popularized the style for residential housing . Soon after our pioneers moved here , the style filtered into our area as it became settled. Almon Whipple was a postmaster for Howell, for six years . In 1848 he had this home built for him and his wife, Mary. There has been only four owners of the home since then and the home's exterior remains virtually the same . Zinas and Sarah Crossman owned the home from 1864 to 1908. One hundred years ago, they had decorative glazed art tile added to surround the fireplace openings. Carved cherry fireplace mantels were added in the living and dining rooms. The clear glass surrounding the front door was replaced with beautiful colored glass which is still there. Dr. Jeannette Brigham, a practicing physician, bought the home from the Crossman estate in 1908. She owned the home for thirty years. The Detroit Edison Company, owned the property for a short time, before selling the property to Mr . Crandall in 1943. In recent years, Mr. Crandall, his business partner, son-in -law Harry Griffith, and daughter Mary , have purchased the corner lot next to the house which was the original Whipple lot . With the help of grandchildren Scott and Carol Griffith, the now vacant lot has been developed into a parking garden in hopes to preserve the character of a lovely Greek Revival structure. Mary Griffith j Milford Home The Harvey Milford home at 218 South Walnut has a history that dates back at least 117 years . In 1835 Alex Fraser, father of Mrs. John D. Pinckney sold land to David Wetmore and Edward Brooks and they proceeded to plat the 120 acres into the village . A man named Andrews is believed to have built the Milford home . Andrews was a shrewd business man ; he owned a hardware business with Edward B. Winans ; he carried a stock of carriages, buggies and farm equipment, and because he was so astute, he owned the marble shop and provided monuments whenever necessary . Schoeberlein Home The Greek Revival farm house at 1016 North Michigan Avenue has long been a landmark in Howell . It was built about 1840, and was known as the Bower farm for many years . Mrs . Esther Clark told me that as a young girl she walked to the house to buy m i lk each day from Mrs . Bower . Many people in the area did the same each day . The farm land surrounding the house extended back to what is now Bower Street , and occupied much of the McPherson Subdivision. My mother and father , Audrey and William "Percy " Richards , lived in this home their entire marr ied life , from 1937 until 1966. Many classmates from my sister Rosemary Earl's class of 1956, and my class of 1958 may recal: the many gatherings enjoyed in the home . I remember one night we were allowed to have thirty-six girls in for a pajama party. Mr . and Mrs . John Schoeberlein are now owners of the home , and have done extensive remode ling to beautify the old home. Ra i ny Richards Kirchhoff Stapleton House This is how the Stapleton home looked originally . It was built in 1852. The front porch has since been changed . The side entrance to the old k itchen has been removed and a rear entrance made . The outline of the old well still shows in the back yard. Mr . Stapleton in the earl y days also owned the lots to the west where the large cement block house and red brick house are located . Th is part of the property was the family "cow lot ." The home is located at 321 West Sibley Street and is the home of Marie Wenk. She has done remodeling to the interior also and it is still a very pleasant home . Phyllis Eu ler Rancour Crandall Home The Tracy F. Crandall home in the 1940s. 3792 Byron Road . Tracy F . Crandall and Ada E . Howe were married in 1907 and remained on Ada ' s childhood home after the death of her mother Adelpha Howe (Mrs . Eugene E .l Their ch i ldren were born and grew up here ; Helen E . now Mrs. Allred Vogel , Rhodora now Mrs . Lamar Wood , Eugene Merle , Tracy Ralph , and Alice Louise now Mrs. G . Howard Walter . Tracy and Ada became members of the Methodist Church at an early age which continued through their l ives . Tracy being interested i n civic and community affairs as well as farming held either a township or county office continuously through the years . Both Tracy and Ada were accustomed to farm life and accomplishing a full day of work before retir ing. In the late 1940s the farm was sold to son Tracy Ralph Crandall who had been operating the farm for some time previously. Tracy F . d ied of heart illness in 1952. In 1954 his w idow , Ada (Howe) Crandall built a house at 209 N . Court Street i n the city of Howell, where she lived comfortabl y for nineteen years . She is now l iving at Defiance , Ohio near her son -in-law and daughter, Mr . and Mrs . George Howard Walter . The son Tracy Ralph Crandall died very suddenly in 1964. Rhodora Wood 69 Rubert House The apartment house on the corner of South Court Street and Sibley Street is a portion of a hotel that was originally located on Grand River and South Court, where John Howell's service station is now located . This was formerly a hotel known as the "Rubert House ," built sometime in the late 1840's by William C. Shaft , who ran a line of stages between Howell and Detroit . The hotel changed hands from time to time. In 1860 it was purchased by Amos S. Adams, who ran the establishment as the "Adams House ." Adams was succeeded by Joseph H . Steel, who was followed by owner brothers, Cyrum and Handel Winship, and it was then known as the "Winship House ." Benjamin H. Rubert , who engaged in the hotel business in Novi purchased the property and moved in it , in 1867. He enlarged the building, adding a third story, and it was probably at this time that the addition known as the "big dining room" was made to the hotel. From 70 that time and as long as the building was occupied as a hotel , it was known as the "Rubert House ." Here Mr. and Mrs . Rubert lived and had a thriving and prosperous business. Their son Seth B. Rubert, continued to operate the business until 1907. By this time Seth Rubert had married Elizabeth Cummiskey, and had three daughters, Alta , Mary and Hazel. Alta later became the wife of William McPherson Spencer, and Hazel married L. Harold Crandall , all of Howell. Mary Rubert never married . After the Foskett Brothers of Byron sold to a Mr . Wilcox, he divided the house moving a portion to the place where it now stands as apartments. Mary Griffith Daughter of Harold and Hazel Crandall J :.--\( - ~".'. ,_.. ......

Howe home which they built on Byron Road, 4 mi. north of Howell, when they came to Michigan from New York in the late 1850s. The Howe Home By Rhodora (Crandall) Wood In October , 1856 my great grandparents Seymour E. and Phebe Ann Howe moved from Genesee County, New York with their family of five children to Livingston County, Michigan . They located in Howell Township, Sec. 15, three miles north of Howell on the Byron Road . The children : Alice C., Eugene E. , Mary Jane , Martha Ann, and Willie C. were very young at the time and the family found hardship and difficulties the first few years . Son George F . and daughter, Ida were born in Howell Township a few years later . However, as the children grew older and became very helpful the family began to enjoy a more prosperous life. The need of schools at this time was great. Seymour E . and Phebe Ann Howe gave the small piece of land from their propert y on the southeast corner as the site where the Howe School District No. 2 was built in the early 1860s. (Picture-- on page 133 in First Edition ). Some of the first school board members and teachers were : 1866/ 67-Enos W. Hill, Director and Clerk ; 1868/ 69-L. Barnhart , Director and Clerk ; 1870-Enos W. Hill, Director and Clerk ; 1866-Franklin Spring, Teacher-4 months- Summer School; 1866-Philander Bennett, Teacher-16 weeks-Winter School; 1967-Alice C. Howe, Teacher , Summer School; 1867-Andrew J . Whitaker , Teacher , Winter School; 1869-Mary E . Swits, Teacher , Summer School; 1869-Charles P . Graham, Teacher , 14 weeks-Winter School; 1870-L . W. Mills, Teacher , 12 weeks-Winter School; 1870-L . W. Mills, Teacher, 12 weeks-Winter School; 1870-Franc Wheeler, Teacher , 16 weeks-Summer School; 1866/ 67- Seymour E. Howe, Moderator of School Board ; 1868/ 69- Seymour E . Howe, Moderator of School Board . For more than eighty years the Howe School served the community on many occasions, such as : spelling bees, church and Sunday school services and township voting. In the 1950s the school building and fixtures were sold to Howell Public Schools. A few months later the building was purchased by a resident in the Howe School District , Arthur A. Macauley , who donated the building to Howell Township to be used for the purpose of voting as well as a community center for social gatherings. The Howell Township Clerk, Roy E . Latson and wife, Maxine have done an excellent job of supervising , which makes the old school in its present roll as Howell Township Hall the pleasant place that it is today . 71 Henry Whipple's Hotel located on the N.W. corner of S. Michigan and Sibley St. Mrs. Whipple was John Musson's sister, Ann Musson Whipple. ..._. ·~· »·,. Sabatos Home The Donald Sabatos home on E. Highland Road, Oceola Township, was built in 1849 by Mr . Joel Rumsey. The home is unique in that it was constructed primarily of cobblestones laid in measured rows, an art which flourished between 1825 and the Civil War. Although a second story and a wing have been added to the original 'five rooms and upper loft, the main stonework remains intact and one wall now 72 enhances the interior decor . This is one of but a handful of such homes in Michigan and it is registered with The Cobblestone Society "dedicated to the Preservation of Cobblestone Architecture in America." Donald E.

The Ann Arbor Railroad By Bob Wilhelm Research and interviews : Jeff Shaffer, Jim Sinclair, Fred Burike, Bob Wilhelm. Special thanks to the crews and dispatchers, past and present, whose reminiscents made this report possible. Recovering from the Panic of 1893, the Ann Arbor Railroad emerged from bankruptcy . From 1900 to 1925 prosperity reigned. The financial problems of the 1890's were headed by the high start up costs of the carferry operations. Being the first on the lakes there was much room for mistake. After 1900t he Lake Michigan operations became profitable. Poor public relations , questionable cost-cutting construction methods, and suspicions created during the Ashley regime added to the problems. During this twenty-five years of prosperity, the independent railroad provided good service . The people along the right of way had confidence. On May 19, 1925 the Wabash Railroad purchased the stock of the Ann Arbor. The sale was made because it would be easier to raise money for improvements if owned by a larger railroad . Under Wabash control the railroad would have a better balanced traffic pattern . The Ann Arbor preserved its corporate identity, but the route was managed from the Wabash corporate headquarters in Saint Louis. The Great Depression was not good to American railroads . Both the Wabash and the Ann Arbor declared bankruptcy . The roads were reorganized and once again became profitable just before the outbreak of World War II. The demands of transportation were hard on the railroads . It was during this period that the Ann Arbor purchased its first diesel, a small Whitcomb diesel. This one-man locomotive was stationed in Owosso, but did switching at various points on the route . Two more Alco-GE switchers were purchased to ease the war demands . By 19457 5 percent of the switching was performed by diesels. Most of the heavy tonnage was hauled by eight and tendriver steam locomotives. With shifting demands for motive power, equipment from many railroads made appearances on the Ann Arbor. Motive power was shifted away from the Ann Arbor. Four ten-drivered locomotives were sold to the Kansas City Southern in 1942. With the purchase of 14 Alco road engines, dieselization of the Ann Arbor was completed in December , 1950. These locomotives were selected because of their ability to pull 83 A steam locomotive on the run between Fowlerville and Howell in the 40's. heavy loads at low to medium speeds . Many of the crews preferred these locomotives to the newer GP 35's which were purchased in 1964. With dieselization the average tonnage per train increased 15 percent and speed increased an average of eight percent. With total dieselization, all Ann Arbor steam power was scrapped . In recent years there has been an increasing interest in collecting railroad memorabilia such as lanterns and switches. There is little available from the earlier days of the Ann Arbor. Much of the collectibles were second hand and had the markings of the Wabash or the Detroit, Toledo, and Ironton. Equipment purchased new by the Ann Arbor was not marked with the "AA" symbol. In 1963 the Wabash was merged with the Norfolk and Western under a fifty year lease agreement. The N&W wanted no part of the Ann Arbor so the railroad was "pushed off" on the Detroit , Toledo, and Ironton. The early days of DT&I management appeared favorable to the future . The carferries were rebuilt and modernized, heavier rail was installed where needed, and new second generation diesels were pucrhased . There were problems with the new locomotives. The trucks ("w heels") were second hand, taken from the Alcos. According to crews this caused a much rougher ride than normal. At a cost savings of $1000p er unit, the 2500h .p. units were not equipped with a dynamic braking system. The 84 dynamic brakes would have made the negotiations of the steep hills much easier . During the early years of DT&I management, locomotives from many railroads were regularly seen: Baltimore and Ohio, Lake Superior and Ishpeming, Lehigh Valley, the Soo Line among others . In the later 1960's the Ann Arbor GP 35's were substituted for DT&I GP 38's (2000 h.p. units with dynamic brakes). In 1972 the GP 35's were returned because of the possible abandonment of the Ann Arbor. One of the locomotives, No. 385, was wrecked by the DT&I. It was rebuilt and upgraded by General Motors Electro Motive Division. This locomotive is the most modern on the route and the only one without "we have the connections" emblem . The early good intentions of the DT&I disintegrated in the late 60's and early 70's. The property was allowed to deteriorate. Major track work was neglected for several summers . Rough track, speed restrictions, and derailment resulted in poor employee morale. Since October, 1973t he Ann Arbor has been in receivership . The trustees ordered the repairing of some of the poorest track sections . Even though the speed dropped to an average 20 miles per hour the service improved . March 31, 1976t he Ann Arbor Railroad went out of business as a separate corporate entity . The track and equipment have been purchased by the state of Michigan. Operations of the Ann Arbor Railroad The Ann Arbor Railroad operates 292 miles of track from Toledo, Ohio to Elberta, Michigan on the east shore of Lake Michigan. Unlike most railroads, branch lines are very minimal. The one branch line to the Ford Motor Company in Saline is very profitable . The railroad hauls only freight . The last regularly scheduled passenger service ended in 1950. The railroad operates fifteen orange locomotives. Five of the locomotives are used primarily for switching operations . The ten road locomotives GP35s (GP means General Purpose ) numbers 385-394 operate on the mainline and perform switching chores . Operating between Toledo and Owosso each locomotive uses 300 to 325 gallons of diesel fuel. The cost in fuel for an idling locomotive is 45-50 gallons for twenty-four hours of operation . Each of the locomotives is equipped with a chart recorder to monitor the speed of the train . The Ann Arbor operates a fleet of seventeen road cabooses. Ten of the cabooses (Numbers 2830-283)9 were built in 1952b y the Wabash Railroad at their Decatur, Illinois shops. Five years later seven additional cabooses (Numbers 2840-284)6 were purchased from International Car Company. In October, 1974 the railroad operated 378 freight cars , two hundred of which were covered hoppers used in sand and cement service . The total in March, 1976 is fewer due to scrappings and cars destroyed in wrecks . An additional fleet of cars is used in maintenance of way service : track and roadbed repair and cleaning up wrecks. The Ann Arbor operates four trains: two northbound and two southbound. T-F 1 (Toledo-Frankfort ) operates from Toledo to Owosso and performs occasional switching chores. T-F 5 operates from Toledo to Elberta with a crew change in Owosso. The southbound trains F-T 2 (Frankfort to Toledo) operates straight through with only a stop for a change of crews in Owosso. Train T-F 6 does switching en route. A local train for switching, "Ann Arbor turn," works from Ann Arbor as far north as Bruce Products in Howell. In addition to its own trains the Ann Arbor operates about five coal trains a week from Toledo to Owosso using Penn Central locomotives and equipment. Originating at either the Sunny Hill Coal Company in southern Ohio or from Mingo Junction on the Ohio-Pennsylvania border the trains move an average of 100 cars per movement to Dow Chemical at Midland. The capacity of each car is 100 tons, but there is often less than a capacity tonnage. The total round trip cost per movement is about $45,000. The Ann Arbor's share is about $10,000. With reorganization , the coal trains stopped operating on the Ann Arbor April 1, 1976. The couplers on the unit trains are stronger than those on the regular trains. A normal coupler can't withstand the tremendous pressure caused by the weight when the train is slowed down. Despite the heavy weight couplers, a coupler knuckle broke near the rear of the train on March 6, 1976 blocking traffic on the east side of Howell for nearly an hour. The problem was solved by removing the coupler from the end of the caboose and placing it on the damaged car . The crew reaction to these coal drags is generally unfavorable . The bankrupt Penn Central does not properly maintain its locomotives resulting in constant breakdown of one or more of the units. An Ann Arbor unit is often placed on the front of the train to compensate for the inoperable unit. The hopper cars are plagued with derailments and coupler problems . A hopper car on the March 18, 1976 train bottomed out on Riddle Street. The hopper bottoms began to break open. Luckily the train was moving at a low speed, derailment was prevented. The offending car was removed and the train continued north. Many of the Penn Central cabooses are more comfortable than the Ann Arbor's. However, on this March 18 train the stove blew up spraying dirt and soot all over the interior. An Ann Arbor caboose was added to the end of the train for the comfort of the conductor. These day-to-day operations of the railroad are centered in Owosso. A key to the operations is the dispatcher who must keep watch on the train movements. He must know where the trains are and keep records . South of Ann Arbor there is no direct radio contact with the lines. Portable radio communications exist between the dispatcher, the engineer, and the conductor. The radios can be removed and worn on the back of the crew member while switching. The dispatcher must call crews and make crews available for upcoming trains . The crew of each train usually consists of four men : Engineer, two brakemen (or one brakeman and one fireman , although the fireman's position is being phased out), and one conductor. Occasionally the trains run with a three or five-man crew. The maximum crew time on board a train is twelve hours. If the train has not reached its destination in this time, the train is stopped until a new crew arrives . A recent Penn Central coal drag made it from Toledo with less than fifteen minutes to spare . To become an engineer it is necessary to pass both brakeman and engineer tests . The duties of the engineer are run the train , regulate speed, and maintain air pressure . With much automatic equipment on board , the job of the engineer is much easier than in the past. The brakeman backs up the engineer in case of disability and does switching. The caboose is the domain of the conductor. His job is to keep records and prepare written reports . He may also do switching. Loaded freight cars make money for the railroads. Northbound trains contain many empties . Loaded cars include loads of new cars (Fords, Mustangs, and Jeeps) and farm equipment. The coal drags also increase the revenues . The southbound trains provide great revenues. With the exception of the coal drags and empty auto carriers , most of the cars are loaded. On a typical southbound movement there is a great variety of cargos. Detroit and Mackinac hoppers carry limestone and alabaster from northeastern Michigan. Several mechanical refrigerators are loaded with Idaho potatoes destined for MacDonald's distribution plant in the Toledo area . There are loads of lumber from Canada and the northwest, paper goods from Wisconsin, and in season loads of Christmas trees. A major source of revenue are carloads of special foundry sand bound for Detroit, Flat Rock, and Cleveland. At the present time 3000 carloads are shipped each year from the Sargent Sand Company in Yuma (near Mesick in Wexford County). The ten year projection is for up to 10,000c arloads per year . The short base covered hoppers used to be at the end of the train. With the short wheel base the ride in the caboose was most uncomfortable. Today most of the sand cars are not at the end of the train-adding to the conductor's comfort . The railroad must further develop its northbound revenues and improve the service provided on both northbound and southbound routes . The future of the Ann Arbor is beginning to brighten. 85 An engineer in the cab of one of the old steam locomotives . A Trip through Livingston County with an Occasional Glimpse into the Past By Bob Wilhelm The original name , Toledo, Ann Arbor and Northern Michigan is a most fitting name for today's Ann Arbor Railroad . All but one of the northbound trains originate in Toledo and slowly wind in a snake-like pattern through Livingston County and then northwesterly toward Owosso and terminating at Ferry Boat Landing in Elberta . Leaving Ann Arbor, the trains crawl up the long grade out of the Huron Valley. It is often too steep for the long, heavy tonnage trains to reach the summit of Osman Hill. The ten thousand ton coal trains regularl y must be broken in half and each section is brought to the top of the hill where 86 the two sections are coupled together and the movement is continued north toward Livingston County. Not all trains must be broken. Even the most heavy trains can make it to the top on occasion if all locomotives are functioning properly . On one Saturday in March a hundred car coal train couldn't make it to the top, so the engineer on a trailing train pushed his five locomotives to aid the original five locomotive train over the top of the summit. The trains move through Whitmore Lake and enter Livingston County. Moving at 25 miles per hour the trains no longer stop at Hamburg . The old siding has long been neglected and rusty . The old depot and the once thriving resort business at Lakeland is only a memory from the days when passengers came to the area in the summer. The speed limit is lowered to five miles per hour where the track crosses the recently abandoned Grand Trunk Western roadbed. The interchange "diamond" is scheduled to be abandoned during the 1976 summer and many of the problems will be eased . Wrecks have been a continuing problem over the years. Much of the area is swampy. This swampy condition was lessened when a line of covered hopper cars loaded with sand derailed and dumped its cargo into the swamp. The Penn Central coal cars have derailed on several occasions . A derailment may not always cause damage . Three boxcars loaded with new batteries from Owosso derailed. The seal locking the door was not broken and the cargo was not damaged. The cars were put on the track and delivered . When a derailment occurs the crew may not be immediately aware of pending disaster . Awareness usually occurs when the air hose breaks. One derailed car was dragged for more than a mile. When the boxcar hit a tree the air hose broke and the train was stopped. ' With the abandonment of the Grand Trunk track the thirty-one miles of right-of-way is causing a conflict behveen public and private rights . The state wants to develop this area for a recreational path for hiking, bicycling, and motorcycling . There is much opposition to this proposal. Typical opposition is expressed by the Waterloo Township Planning Commission, "Recreational land brings an influx of people who are totally irresponsible and dumps them on a township. Then the township has to provide police and fire protection and other services .. . for land that isn't on the tax rolls." With the possibilities of future track abandonments throughout the state , this dilemma could be often repeated . The track turns north and moves up the gradual grade towards the once thriving resort area at Chilson. The old two-story depot no longer used by the railroad is now a private residence. A water tower used during the steam era has disappeared. Southeast of the station area was a gravel pit which until abandoned in the early 1930's was a source of revenue . An asphalt plant in the area has also been abandoned . When Michigan entered statehood in 1837 it appeared that Chilson and the Crooked Lake area would play a major role in the development of the state . The plan was to build a canal across the southern portion of the lower peninsula. The route of the canal was to follow the Clinton River westward to Crooked Lake . Crooked Lake is a watershed , the source of streams eventually emptying into Lakes Michigan and Huron. A 25 mile canal was to be constructed southward to Dexter and join the Kalamazoo River . The canal was to cross the Cedar and Shiawassee River . Construction began at Mount Clemens and advanced a few miles, but the project was abandoned as railroads began to criss-cross the state . Around 1897 Laughton and Henderson, who operated a store , built a cottage on the north island. This "camp" ( camp meant the same as a cottage ) was one of the first in Livingston County. The "camp " was sold in 1903 to Howell blacksmith Carl Weimeister. On the property was a large frame-structured barnlike building. It had no interior finish and few windows. Bolts a~d bars we.re designed to frustrate break ins. On the roof shmiles was a single word "Nordica". Used for parties, the building was named for Lillian Nordica, a popular singer at the time . Young people came by horse drawn vehicles from Howell, Brighton , and other nearby settlements for a week of camping. Naturally, the young people had adult chaperones. Convenient rail service brought many "cam pers " from Toledo and Ann Arbor. Tenting and camping on the beach was very popularmainly on the west shore. In 1914N ordica was sold by Weimeister and was converted into a private residence. Today Chilson is basically a passing track on the Ann Arbor. Two tracks parallel for a mile. There are at least two passings here each week. A southbound train waiting for a northbound train often stops at Coon Lake Road. This is done so that the road at Chilson will not be blocked. Crews often patronize the Chilson store while waiting for the other train . The northbound track crossed the Chesapeake and Ohio interchange at Annpere. Until 1906, this interchange, the scene of many bloody brawls in the 1880's, was called Howell Junction . The switching tower is gone. Today the area is an interchange of cars between the Ann Arbor and the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroads . Many boxcars from the Ford Motor Company's Saline plant are switched onto the C & 0 for delivery to the Detroit area . With the interchanging of cars it is possible for losses. A mechanical refrigerator car was switched from the Ann Arbor and disappeared . It was found after two years in the Chicago area . The present speed limit across the interchange is 10 miles per hour. The speed limit has been 25, but a November, 1975 derailment on the C & 0 necessitated the lowering of the speed limit. Auto carriers loaded with new 1976 automobiles derailed and tipped on their sides damaging the track of both routes. The railroad enters Howell over the viaduct constructed in 1938. Grand River Avenue goes under the bridge. The problem is flooding that has been caused after many rainfalls. Pumps were installed. In addition to draining the area of water, the pumps dried up many wells. New wells had to be drilled to soothe the bewilderment of the residents. The east-west track through Howell is in a deplorable state . The maximum safe speed is 10 miles per hour. Inching through the "tunnel" between Barnard Street and Michigan A venue, there is the constant danger of cave-ins. The maintenance crews have been propping up the walls over a period of time. During the late summer of 1975, the crews were placing metal supports into the ground and severed a water main . The railroad was unaware of the main , and the city didn't know its exact location. The main was repaired and the city marked its location. The restaurants on the east side of Howell are stopping points for many of the crews . When the train is long, the engineer moves through the town to let the conductor in the caboose get off, then the train is backed up so not to block traffic for a prolonged period . Many businesses are served in Howell. The siding paralleling Haggerty Lumber was built by the railroad for Purdy and Woodruff and leased for 99 years. Both lumber and coal were unloaded here. Over the years the railroad crews have developed many friendships along the right of way . Usually the friendships are a wave, but sometimes long-lasting friendships develop. Jeff Shaffer , a Howell teenager has developed friendships with the crews of the passing trains. For three years he has been delivering the Detroit Free Press . One afternoon while watching a train , Jeff threw a paper onto the caboose. On a later train, a brakeman came off the locomotive asking for a paper , and the tradition began . 87 An old Brush auto, photo taken about 1910. Today the trains slow to a crawl as they pass through Howell. If Jeff isn't around to personally make the delivery , there are papers in a delivery tube beside the track . In return the crews have given Jeff many pieces of railroad memorabilia including a switch stand and a five foot long trailer car formerl y used in maintenance of way service . Today, when a train approaches Howell, Jeff checks the trains for air leaks and hot boxes (smoking or odor on the wheel bearings ). If there is a problem he immediatel y calls the Owosso dispatcher on the WATS line and notifies them of the problem . Turning north on the west side of Howell the trains pass under the M-59 Bridge and move north toward Oak Grove. The depot at Oak Grove has been removed but the foundation survives on the east side of the track . When the depot was constructed the original builder was constantly drunk and had to be replaced . You could see where the new man started . The grain elevator is no longer used for train loading. The switch at the north end of the passing track has been removed. A short train can be brought into the passing siding from the south, but the train must back onto the mainline if used for passing . The siding can also be used for car storage . Panhandle Eastern has used the area for unloading pipelines. During 1974a nd 1975w ith the slowdown of auto sales there was a temporary surplus of boxcars. Many of these 86 foot cars were stored here . A continuing problem , especially in the fall and spring, is deer on the tracks. At night, the lights "spook" the deer and they stay on the track . When the crew has enough warning 88 the lights are turned off and the deer are scared away by noise of the approaching locomotive. The most northerly stop in the county is Cohoctah. A siding serves Lott's Elevator and chemical fertilizer plant. Leaving Livingston County the trains pass through Byron, Durand , and stop at Owosso for a crew change before continuing the trip to Lake Michigan. The Future of the Ann Arbor Railroad The state of Michigan has purchased the Ann Arbor Railroad . This purchase includes all facilities , tracks , locomotives, rolling stock, and car ferries . The transfer of ownership occurred April 1, 1976. The future is presented in the first phase of the Michigan Railroad Plan for the preservation of the Ann Arbor: 1. "Preserve the . . . Ann Arbor route as an integral operation from Toledo . .. to Wisconsin as a key corridor for a long-range system configuration ." 2. "Preserve, at least on an interim basis , all of the car ferr y operation-while service needs and alternatives are thoroughly analyzed for the long term ." 3. The state of Wisconsin has agreed to "share the federal subsidy and state matching funds required for the preservation of any necessary car ferr y operation ." Michigan has signed a contract with CONRAIL to operate the railroad for one year beginning April 1. At the end of the year the state will make an evaluation of the operations . If this is favorable, a new contract will be issued . If the evaluation is unfavorable a new operator will be sought, possibly the Grand Trunk Western or the Detroit A big school trip on the train to Detroit . 89 Toledo and Ironton . However, at this time neither railroad has shown an interest in the management. Many problems must be solved. The track on many sections must be improved or replaced . The ten year goal for track speeds if 60 miles per hour . Sections like the "tunnell " through Howell would operate at a reduced speed, but the track must be upgraded or replaced . One problem faced in the track rebuilding program is a shortage of new steel rail. Second hand rail may be available in the interim . One estimate is that with the backlog of orders, it may be 1978 before orders can be filled. During the next ten years there is a strong possibility that passenger train service will be resumed on the Ann Arbor and / or the Chesapeake and Ohio routes . With massive rail reorganization occurring throughout Michigan and attempts by railroads to abandon some of their least profitable routes, the state may purchase additional routes and incorporate them into the Ann Arbor. One of the most likely new routes is the purchase of 147 miles of C & 0 trackage running from Manistee through Traverse City Station Agent John D. Hamilton, station agent, at his desk in the Howell station of the Ann Arbor Railroad , January 1914. Standing is Mr . Wright. Notice the ragged green curtains, coal bucket, and the wall oil lamp . The room with the bay window looking out onto the tracks has been preserved by the Livingston County Historical Society . 90 north to Petoskey , interchanging with the Ann Arbor at Thompsonville. Trackage rights may also be acquired on the old Penn Central route from Owosso to Saginaw. The addition of this route might result in the resumption of the unit coal trains which stopped operating on the Ann Arbor, April 1. The present western terminus of the Ann Arbor is the ferry dock in Kewanee, Wisconsin where traffic is interchanged with the Green Bay and Western Railroad . The Burlington Northern Railroad is attempting to take over the G .B. & W. If this merger should occur it would fulfill a dream of nearly a centur y expressed by the Ashleys and the Delaware and Lackawanna Railroad management to develop a direct route from the east to the west coast . Much of the future is still in the planning stage . The name Ann Arbor may disappear , but the railroad will survive . Customers , employees , and railfans can peer into the " crystal ball. " The future appears bright for an expanded route carrying increased tonnage. Utah Tour John D .

Inhabitants of isolated areas rc1ard the carrier as an invilluablc £ricnd, counselor and public servant , for his job goe s far beyond the mere Jdivcry of letters and sc-cd catalogs. And to "customers" in •hickly setllcd areas he is equall y a Godsend , for his co-operation extends from helping to pull a car from the ditch to filling in as witnes, at a wcddin1 .

Typical of Michi&an'1 1,135 rural carriers and an equal number of substitutes is Emmett Harris, of Howett, who has been on the job 31 years . Startin1r with a hors e and buggy, he has cov ered enough miles to constitute four trips around the world . He travels 70 miles a day to bring mail to 232 families. An excellent baritone, he often sings as he rolls along to the next mail box, heraldintt his approach by the booming chorus of " On the Road to Mandalay ." He sings in the Cath olic choir at Howell. ln his 31 years Harris has participated in many rural dramas. On countless occasions he has warned farmers their stock had broken fence and strayed into someone's corn. He has stopped runaways, put out brush fires, rescued picnickers from menacin& bulls and returned all sorts of articles lost from trucks or wag ons en route to town. One time hj5 attention was attracted by a small boy screaming bu iJe the roaJ. WaJkin& behind a nearby barn , he found the mother holclin1 up the child's youna;cr sister , whose foot had &ot caught in a cement block. Obta inin g a hammer and coJd chisel fro:n his car, Harris freed the captive: and then delivered the mail. "All rural carriers love their daily associations with the people they serve," he said.

Zemper Photography has probably been an art form in Howell for longer than any serious painters. A travelling itinerant photographer first came here before the Civil War, in 1858. He travelled in a horse and wagon, in which he lived and did his laboratory work, using the wet plate process . Normally he would start toward the South in the fall because he needed sunshine to take his outdoor pictures with the very slow emulsions of those days . An early September snowfall kept him here and when more snow came and winter set in, he decided he might as well sta y, because he couldn't get out anyway. Soon after , he sold the studio, which he had moved indoors, and the chain of fourteen photographers started which has become now to be called Zemper Studio. According to the records of the National Association, it is the oldest portrait Studio in the United States. Very likely it is the oldest in the world, but there is no way to prove that. Some of these photographers should be mentioned here . W. E . CLEAVE-Cleave was a small man with large talents . In addition to being a photographer of great talent, he was also a musician of good calibre , and a good artist in oils. I have some of the glass plate negatives that he exposed and were found by Mary Reed in the attic of her garage, 4th of July fireworks at Joe Harris' Diamond Dot. where they had been stored for almost 100 years . He painted his own backgrounds and had a good feeling for the fine points and aesthetics of photography . H. A. LUDWIG-Ludwig had the studio from the late teens to 1926, when he sold to C. J . Nelson. He was a good practicing photographer , but is better known for his work on a state level. He was one of the earliest members of the Michigan Society of Photographers , and its president. He also was the working figure in the starting of the Professional Photographers of Michigan, a statewide organization . He was state president of this group, making Howell the only city in Michigan to have two presidents of both groups from the same town. This happened when D. L. Zemper was president of the Society in 1970, after having been president of the State group in 1960. D. L. ZEMPER-Zemper bought the studio from C. J . Nelson in 1946a fter two years overseas as a photographer in World War II. During the 50's he was named top photographer in Michigan four times, on the state board of directors for seven years and made State President in 1960. In 1962 he was declared the best photographer in the Midwest. In 1966,h e was rated the best portrait photographer in the United States. Enough of this stuff, let's put the book to bed.

Howell Jackie Band Approximately 54 years ago the Howell Jackie Band were invited to accompany Howell Commandery Knights Templar to the State Conclave held in Detroit. After the parade the band attended one of the many theaters (which one I do not recall) downtown Detroit that evening and to their great surprise a picture came on the screen 1975 and as I 'look at this picture I recognize many who have Gladys (Knight) 118 The West Ward School & Park WEST WARD GRADE SCHOOL By Sarah J. Maycock In the fall of 1929 the enrollment for the Livingston County Normal was so large that more room was needed than could be provided at the Michigan Avenue School; so during the summer the West Ward school which had been vacant for several years was restored, so that the County Normal could occupy the two upper rooms, while the two lower rooms had children in grades similar to a rural school, where the enrolled students could do their practice teaching . This arrangement continued until the County Normal was disbanded, and the two grade teachers returned to the main building. After the County Normal was phased out at the West Ward School, the vacant school was rented for storage by a milking-machine company. In 1948 with the increased enrollment in the Howell schools the West Ward opened again to accommodate the first, second, third and fourth grades , using all four rooms. Grace Dibble taught first grade , Sarah Maycock, second grade, Joy Bigelow, third grade and Mertice Radkte fourth grade and later Shirley Gatesman, fourth grade. The custodians during the time the building was thus used were: Mr. Monroe, Mr. Weibreicht and Mr. Mann. This arrangement went on until the four new elementary buildings were completed in 1955, when the West Ward was vacant again. It was later dismantled and the lot made into a playground . WEST WARD SCHOOL AND PARK By Janet Rohrabacher Hugh Mann was custodian and crossing-guard at the West Ward School. The students learned as much from him as from the teachers. He taught them how to observe safety rules crossing the street and in traffic. He tolerated no fooling around in the roadway . He also taught them not to run on the neighbors' lawns and also not to litter either the schoolyard or the neighbor's yards with scrap paper . While he was strict , he was very well-liked by the children. Almost every noon-hour he could be observed sitting on the steps with a large group of children around him, while he was telling them stories or just visiting with them and showing his interest in their activities. In the fall of 1955, the school closed and the children all went to the four new grade schools built in Howell. Most of the West Ward students went to the Southwest School. The next year the building was razed, but first the school district sold the contents of the school for nominal sums . The school desks were sold for fifty-cents to two dollars apiece. The bricks from the old school were used to build the four brick homes on the north side of West Grand River near Burkhart Road, west of Howell. The neighborhood children continued to use the school yard for an impromptu baseball diamond in the summer. In the winter , the yard was flooded, and the area was crowded with skaters from the west side of Howell. The school district planned to sell this land for private or multiple dwelling use. This led to the formation of a West Ward Parents Association, whose goal was to save the park as a recreational area for both children and adults on the west side of Howell. On January 8, 1958 the City of Howell leased the land from the school district for use as a park. NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION By Mary Misslitz The West Ward School having served its purpose was torn down, but the playground sounds of "recess" lingered on. The neighborhood children stood with bewildered expressions one early spring day in 1956 as the West Ward school playground swings and slides were being uprooted and loaded onto trucks . In answer to their questions of "Why?", they were told the property was being sold. The city had been divided into four quarters and each area now had its elementary school and adjoining playground . However, for the group of youngsters who crossed Grand River to attend the Southwest School, the old West Ward playground served as an area gathering place for many children because a group of families cared enough to become involved and petitioned the school board not to sell the school playground property . The property was then leased to the City of Howell for a dollar a year, and the neighborhood group volunteered to maintain the playground . The West Ward neighborhood association consisted of several dozen families who met at first to round-up and install the playground equipment which had been removed. As the fathers dug holes, mixed cement and figured out how the swings and monkey-bars fitted together, mothers set the tables and brought out food for neighborhood picnics, as children raked twigs together to roast marshmallows . The comradery that developed as people worker together to provide a place for children to play led to several summers of neighborhood family get-togethers . Men pitched horseshoes several nights a week under lights they strung up between the tall trees, and women drank coffee and visited while children climbed the monkey-bars and took turns pushing each other on the merry-go-round. This all sounds reminiscent of family activity of a by-gone era , but it happened for a period of time just twenty years ago. WEST WARD PARK By Kenneth Richardson The Howell Jaycees took on a Community Pride Project of improving a neighborhood park on Spring Street and Byron Road. The goal of this project was to supply good, safe equipment and also to supply the community with a well designed park layout. The project was carried out in the following order: February, 1974-Ken Richardson and Ed Eaton met and decided on the safety and equipment needs. March, 1974-Ken Richardson and Ed Eaton held a design and layout meeting; contacted the equipment salesman for the cost of the playground equipment ; contacted D&J Gravel to donate the concrete; contacted Duane Meyer, of the City Parks and Cemetery Department , to remove the old equipment. April, 1974-Equipment was picked up. Ed Eaton attended the city council meeting for approval of the project. Ed also attended the school board meeting for their approval. April 27, 1974-Playground equipment and plantings were 119 installed . Larry Scott was in charge of the plantings, twenty members helped install the equipment. July , 1974-Picnic tables were installed by Duane Meyer and staff , completing the park . Total cost of park, $1,570.00. CARE OF THE PARK By Maude Phillips About 1970 the City of Howell secured the services of Ernest Phillips as care-taker for the West Ward School Park. Phillips was well-known for the care he gave to his own lawn and flowers and vegetable garden. For three years he took complete care of the park for a small fee. He pruned shrubs and weeded flowers, raked and mowed whenever it was needed. The park has never looked so good as when cared for by Phillips and he took great pride in the looks of the park . He died August 30, 1973.H e had worked forty-seven years for the Holkins Lumber Company, under four generations of this family . He was a prominent Mason and office holder in the lodge for years. The Alma Young Home The residence of Mr. and Mrs . Herbert F. Schott, 216 Higgins T ., Howell, was built by John Galloway who came to Howell in 1844. He and Nathan Hickey formed a partnership and operated a foundry known as the Hickey & Galloway Foundry . It was located on the west side of Michigan Ave., just north of the Ann Arbor railroad tracks . He built this house the following year with bricks hauled from Detroit. It was one of the first brick houses built in Howell and the external walls and some of the inside walls are of solid brick construction . John Galloway was a man of som importance in the early history of Howell and Livingston County . He was a member of the Board of Directors when the first railroad, the Detroit to Howell, was built. He was elected to the Senate in 1860, when the first Republican Governor, Kingsley S. Bingham, was in office . Galloway is known to have lived in this house until his death in 1890. The Galloways had one son, Durfee, who married Elizabeth McMichael. Durfee was the first graduate of Howell High School in 1869. A scholarship in his name to the University of Michigan was presented to the school and is still in existance . Durfee lived here until his death in the late 1920's. Mrs . Galloway continued to live here until her death several years later. The home was the center of much hospitality and was an outstanding showplace of the early town. After the death of Durfee Galloway, the west part of the lower floor was rented to various young couples. Among those who lived there for a short time was R . B. McPherson and his wife, Eva Hickey McPherson. It was during this time their son, Robert H. McPherson, was born. About 1935, the house was sold to Dr . J. Stevens, who constructed an addition to the rear of the building facing Court St. for his medical offices. Most of the above information came from the notes of the late Mrs. Bernard Glenn, long-time resident of Livingston County. Mr. and Mrs . Schott purchased this home in April of 1946, and have occupied it continuously since then. There are three children, John Frederick, Susan Lee and Robert Alexander.

I 1 1 ., 1 t Bruce Products about 1928. Howell Industry Bruce Products Corp. In 1917A .J . Bruce decided there were greater advantages in producing one's own products. Therefore, using a few garden tools from home he started to manufacture a line of metal cleaners . Mr. Bruce had left his father's farm and moved to Indianapolis after graduating from high school. He supported himself as a streetcar conductor while attending business school at night . After trying some other occupations , he became a successful salesman for a Chicago firm in their Michigan territory. It was then that he became interested in manufacturing. Following a partnership of short duration, Bruce Products was established in 1919 and incorporated in 1920. Soon after , a line of buffing and polishing wheels were added , which were followed by the development of a complete line of buffing and polishing compositions . Over the years the manufacture of products has been expanded to cover the needs of those companies working with all metals and plastic . In addition to the finishing materials there is a full range of lubricants for machining, grinding, stamping , dra wing and die casting , as well as specialty products , which have been developed in the Bruce laboratory . The Bruce Products Corporation has long been recognized as one of the leaders in its field throughout history in the United States , as well as shipping direct to many foreign countries . When the second location in Detroit was outgrown in its early years , it became necessary for Bruce Products to obtain manufacturing facilities which would furnish the space needed for continued growth. In 1926 the Borden plant 138 at West and Factory Streets, in the northwest area of the city of Howell, Michigan , was purchased . The manufacturing and laboratory facilities were moved to Howell, while the main offices and a warehouse were located in the Twelfth Street Terminal Building in Detroit . In 1947 the offices were also moved to Howell. On Februar y 28, 1942, the plant was almost completel y destro yed by fire . In a front page article in the December 2, 1942 issue of the Livingston County Press , reporting on the nearl y completed new building, A.J. Bruce , President , was quoted, " ... for a time following the fire , the obstacles to rebuilding seemed insurmountable , but the cooperation of the Howell business people gave the Corporation encouragement to make such plans ." One of the major problems was the extreme shortage of all building materials because of the war . In December 1946, A.J. Bruce , founder , died (1890-194)6. His son, S.H. Bruce , was elected President in July 1962, and his grandson , C.D. Bruce, was promoted to Plant Superintendent in February 1975. In this Bicentennial Year the Bruce Products Corporation salutes the community of Howell. Chem-Trend Inc. An interest in plastics , and the unsolved problems of releasing these materials from molds, sparked the beginning of Chem-Trend in 1959. When he got his first customer, Peer Lorentzen formed the humble beginning of Chem-Trend . The first "plant" was located in a garage in Howell. Since the garage was in a residential area, he was soon asked to move; and for the next few years, the company's quarters were in Brighton. The company's insistence on excellence and continuing research into product development and improvement soon brought the second customer ... and Chem-Trend had started its growth. In 1963, a plant comprised of 6,000 square feet was built in Howell. This plant was expanded in 1964, in 1965, in 1968, in 1970,i n 1973,a nd again in 1976t o the 55,000s quare feet it now occupies. The product line over the course of these years has been expanded to include casting lubricants, quenching compounds, plunger lubricants, mold release agents, fireresistant hydraulic fluids, and most recently, concrete mold release agents. Chem-Trend now has three operating sales divisions known as : Die Cast Industry Products Division, Mold Release Division and New Ventures Division. The Die Cast Industry Products Division supplies die casting lubricants, quenching compounds, plunger lubricants, and hydraulic fluids to the die casting industry. The Mold Releane Division sells mold release agents to the urethane industry for use with flexible, semi-rigid, and rigid foam applications. The New Ventures Division is responsible for developing new opportunities to provide future growth and expansion. Chem-Trend has established its own overseas affiliate, known as Chem-Trend International, to provide overseas customers with the necessary products and service. Although Chem-Tren<i's employees (35 in Howell) enjoy a small-knit production force and a local setting, they have the added satisfaction of knowing their efforts result in worldwide business, sales, and success.

By Harold Corser and Cindy Jonckheere D and J Gravel, Inc. sits on 100 acres of land bordered by Mason Rd. and Dieterle Rd. in Howell Township. Beginning in 1924, this land, called "The Loree Hill" was farmed by Eugene (Gene) Loree who bought the farm from his mother. After about four years of hog farming "The Depression" hit and Gene continued farming and working at the Howell Motors. Approaching retirement in 1945, Gene began selling gravel from the pit on his farm with only a dump truck and a "barber-green" excavator . Previously gravel had been hauled from the gravel pit by farmers for the surrounding townships with a team of horses and a wagon. This was a means for local farmers to pay their property taxes to their township. By early 1950 business was booming. Gene's son-in-law, Clayton Damman then bought into the business under a partnership agreement. At that time gravel was loaded by means of a tractor with a front-loader . Soon a gravel wash plant , a crusher and a triple-deck screen were purchased to increase production and efficiency. In the summer of 1950 Gene Loree suffered a stroke. This was to precede a change for the future of Loree and Dammon Gravel Co. Because of his health, Gene decided to sell his interest in the company . In Nov. of 1950 August P. Jonckheere, full-time farmer, bought into a partnership with Clayton Damman, his former country schoolmate. This was the beginning of D. (Dammon) and J . (Jonckheere ) Gravel. Under the new partnership part-time help was hired. Lauren Reddinger worked afternoons after delivering milk . He learned to operate a new war surplus P&H crane. In March of 1953, Harold Corser was hired as D&J Gravel 's first full time employee. In July of the same year the company diversified into the ready-mixed concrete business with a 139 used 1951F ord mix truck and a brand new Reo truck with a Yager mixer. In September of 1953, Bernard Kourt was employed full time for the company. Both Harold Corser and Bernard Kourt are still employed full time for D&J Gravel Co. today. The business was growing. As sales increased , so did the need for new machinery. A Sourman hoist was purchased to haul gravel up to the plant. Later a more efficient method was developed which pumped gravel to the plant. David and Alan Jonckheere and Richard and Ron Damman, sons of the owners, worked summers on both the hoist and the crane. Steady growth continued for the company through the 1950's and 1960's. In 1961, the employees were organized by the Teamsters Union. In 1971, Clayton Damman was ready to sell his interest in the company for retirement plans . August Jonckheere and his son, David , each bought half of Clayton's share in D&J Gravel. In 1972, the company incorporated . After college graduation , Lauren Jonckheere joined the business with his father and brother in 1973. In September of 1974, August H. Jonckheere passed away at the age of 57, leaving a growing business, which he had helped operate and expand for 24 years . Today, two of his sons, David and Lauren , own and operate the business with 21 persons on the payroll. Presently 19 licensed vehicles deliver approximately 100,000 cubic yards of material removed from "The Loree Hill" annually . Royalties are paid monthly for this yardage to the Loree family. D&J Gravel Co. has recently diversified into the sale of septic tanks, concrete blocks, and building supplies . The company continues to grow and expand with Livingston County. Howell Construction The fore-runner of Howell Construction Co., Inc. ; Lake Construction Co., Inc ., was originally incorporated in 1948. An asphalt paving contractor , the plant and office was located on a railroad siding in Chilson. Five years later the plant was moved extensively within the state including , Allegan, Willow Run Airport, Genesee, Lenawee and Oakland counties. Ultimately the plant settled in 1961 at the present location on Mason Road. The office was located in Whitmore Lake across from Hoover Chemical on Eight Mile Road . Howell Construction Co., Inc. was formed in 1951 for the purpose of buying equipment needed to pave roads , parking lots, tennis courts and subdivisions. Lake and Howell became a common name around the Livingston County area. Eventually Lake Construction moved much of its equipment to northern lower Michigan to enable Lake and Howell to cover a wider area of service . The two companies were formally separated in 1972. The office of Howell Construction Co., Inc. was relocated on Grand River , Howell, Mich. in 1969 and , continues to do business from this location at the present time . May & Scofield, Inc. May & Scofield was founded in 1934b y Harold W. Scofield, Sr. and Roy May of Detroit. The company manufactured hardware for the casket manufacturers and was located in the building formerly occupied by the Brannon Appliance Company. This building was purchased for $2,500 and was 100x40 square feet , however , only about one third of it was actually used in the beginning by May & Scofield. They initially employed three people-Harold W. Scofield, Sr ., Harry Fisher and Harold W. Scofield, Jr. 140 Harry Fisher started with the company soon after it was established, and during his time with the company he and Harold Scofield, Sr. developed the Christmas Tree Light Clip. These eventually became a part of every set of Christmas lights-known as the "bubb le light"-sold by Noma Lites nationally . Over the years, over 100 million were manufactured. The success of the Treelite Clip was instrumental in establishing the foundation of May & Scofield. Harry Fisher went on to establish his own Fisher Tool & Die Company in Howell. In 1948R oy May's interest in the company was purchased by Harold W. Scofield, Sr. and Harold Scofield, Jr . and the company then became a family owned partnership . William B. Scofield joined the partnership in 1949. Harold W. Scofield, Sr. passed on in 1963 at the age of 74. In the late 40's the company began to supply the automotive industry with metal stampings. In the 1960's the company started manufacturing mechanical and electromechanical assemblies for the automotive industry -as it does today. In 1968 the company was incorporated with Harold W. Scofield, Jr. as its first President. It has grown over the years to its present employment of approximately 100 people. With Harold Scofield, Jr .'s retirement in 1974, William R. (Rick) Scofield, the son of William B. became active in the business. In its 42 years , three generations of the family have been involved in the running of the business . R & D Screw Products The R&D Screw Products Company is a manufacturer of high quality screw machine parts. The company was formed in 1944 by Norm Dymond and Carl Rogers. They occupied a building at 110 South Michigan Avenue at that time . The building has since been torn down. During the war years R&D made parts for bomb fuses and aircraft engines . In 1945 they contracted Clarence Geheringer to build the plant at 810 South Fowler Street in which they are now located. In 1946, upon returning from the service , William Dymond purchased the interest of Carl Rogers and the two brothers have operated the business together for the past thirty years . The company presently manufactures precision parts for several industries including auto , aircraft, computer , plumbing , and many more. R & D Screw Products Company. J L - PLASTIC TOOL COMPANY Unified's Plastic Tool plant. Unified Industries, Inc. This Bicentennial year marks the 25th year of Unified Industries ' service to America 's most vital industries . Unified Industries was incorporated in Eaton Rapids, Michigan in 1951 when its primary business was the construction of tools for the aircraft industry. The company moved to Howell in 1953 to obtain expanded building space and a more favorable location from which to serve its customers . In 1955, when the aircraft industry was decentralized from the midwest and concentrated on the west coast , Unified Industries incorporated the subsidiary of Plastic Tool Company of America and made the conversion to tool building for the automotive industry. The company has continued to serve the auto industry since that time and has expanded its physical facilities in Howell to meet the changing complexion of the American auto industry. In 1972 new government standards regulating auto emission controls required the increased attention of the auto industry to meeting those standards and consequently less attention to automobile design changes. Adapting to this shift , Unified Industries began increased development of its patented trolley-a product used in an overhead conveyance system . Trolley production had previously been a sideline in the overall operation of the company . In the past four years the trolley trade has grown to represent 65 percent of Unified Industries ' gross annual sales and the market continues to grow. 141 8th Grade-1910 8th grade 1910, Leona Morton teacher .

Andreanopoulos, Pastor The Church of God is seeking to lead in developing better communication that will result in understanding. We believe, whether it be an individual, family , community , or any level, the final result will be closer ties and security . We are attempting to provide an environment where individuals can come to know themselves without fear of criticism: An environment where individual growth is encouraged. In these conditions their needs can better be met by their lives being transformed according to the plan of God and not by people conforming to any given life-style. We believe, as individual needs are met , people will be stronger and more capable of serving others. The Church of God is seeking to change our community, not by social reforms nor by dictation of do's or don'ts . We are seeking to witness with our lives the more abundant life through the discipline of a Christ-centered life to be both creative and positive . We are seeking to lead people in regular worship to celebrate the Living God: The Living God that loves each of us enough that He has a special plan for each of our lives and is seeking to guide us in it. The Wright's Corner's Church of God is seeking to meet the challenge of 1976 in the age-old method of seeking God's will and the only thing that is new is that we are just trying harder to do it better. The Salvation Army By Captain Jerry Sword The Salvation Army has been in existence for 109 years and in operation in Howell, Michigan since 1892. Through the years The Salvation Army , as well as other "long term " organizations , have undergone some real deep " trouble waters ;" however , 1976, like many other difficult years , such as the Depression in the 30's, will go on record of being a mighty challenging time to be here and in which to work. God has raised up " The Army " through all kind::; of circumstances and yet , made it through. We are living in the era of time when we see the destruction of America , but we ought not be alarmed at these happenings because God has said in His Word these things would come to pass in the last days. The Salvation Army has been known to help people through emerg ency basis and in very difficult times . This Bicentennial year of 1976, The Salvation Army is planning to help in the same way as in the past. The Army's Slogan for 1976 is "Share Your Faith. " By shar ing the faith God has given us, might mean that more people will have the opportunity to know more about the Lord Je sus Christ and the salvation He has to offer to the whosoever. In conclusion, The Salvation Army is looking forward to working in 1976w ith the great challenge we face to spread the Gospel. By Richard F. Hennig, Interim Pastor Prince of Peace Lutheran Church is a relative!~ new church in the Howell community . Although the church is new to this area, it is affiliated with a long standing Lu~er~n body, the Wisconsin Evangelical Luthe~an S_ynod,w hich m this Bi-Centennial year is celebratmg its own 125th Anniversary. . How Prince of Peace faces the challenge of 1976m ight well be summed up in the anniversary theme of its parent b<>?Y " Grace ." By God's grace we are in the How~ll co~mumty and by His grace we will continue to proclaim His Word. Although the challenges placed before the church in ~976 are different in scope than those of 1776, they are essentially the same in effect. Man must still be reminded of his sin and comforted by means of Christ's Gospel. We at Prince of Peace shall face the challenge of 1976 by pledging continued faithfulness in the proclamation of God's Holy Word. .... 147 This picture of the Baptist Brotherhood was taken about 1924 while C.

We especially plan to concentrate on a ministry to youth because of the tremendous peer pressure brought on today's youth, and upon a ministry with the aged and aging because this will be an ever-increasing group of our population.

Sutton The Bicentennial observances of 1976 will stand out as some of the most memorable of this century. However, we must think beyond the present moment in history to the third century of our national existence. What will it mean for the churches? What will it mean for our church here in Howell? We look forward to serving the ever-increasing community as we expand our own resources . People are in constant need of spiritual guidance and a deepening faith. We hope to continue serving and helping people in this area of need. Our facilities are excellent. Our people are inspired and enthusiastic. We look forward to another century of sharing God's love through the church. The above photo shows part of those who participated in a Colonial Worship Service, Feb. 29, 1976. Church of the Nazarene By Rev. Ronald C. Ketchum The Church of the Nazarene is a composite of personalities united under the lordship of Jesus Christ. The Church faces the challenges of 1976 only as each individual member faces the challenges personally. We are united in the belief that though times change, our responsibilities to God as our Creator and Savior remain unchanging . The way to better society and change the direction of the world toward peace is not to legislate more laws, but to internalize the laws of God within man. Any man who obeys God's laws and lives a Christ-like life is an asset to his community and a positive force for good in the world. Individually and united, the members of the Church of the Nazarene faces the problems and opportunities of the future with courage and the conviction that "If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray , and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways ; then will I hear from Heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land."

Henry Stamper Jr. As our great country comes to its Bicentennial Birthday , never was the challenge so great to the church world and to the Christian as it is today. The Christian once again is becoming inspired to take his rightful place in the body of Christ and reach out a helping hand to a world with many problems and that is in great distress . Our church people are greatly inspired to help perserve our great country and our religious freedoms and to go forth and fulfill the great commission of the Lord Jesus Christ. As stated in Gospel of St. Mark, Chapter 16, Verses 15-18f or we realize that any nation's future depends on how they honor God. Our nation was founded upon God's Holy Word and there is a great need to return back into that close fellowship with our Heavenly Father for Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever. Hebrew 13-8. Picture of church in action-water baptism by immersion taken in Jan . 1976. I West Marion Methodist Church WEST MARION METHODIST CHURCH The West Marion Church in Marion Township was first organized as a Methodist Protestant Church. The congregat ion met in homes and the school house until in 1884 when, Augustus Purdy deeded the land on the N .E . corner of Pingree and Coon Lake Roads and a building was erected . There were eleven charter members. In 1891 the membership had grown to 72. That year a Sunday school was started and a ladies aid was formed . In the early years the church was on a circuit with the Fleming Church at six corners, the Lake and Thayer congregations . Later in 1903, it changed to the Livingston Circuit with Plainfield and Parkers Corners Churches . With the merger of the Methodist churches it was not a Methodist Protestant church any longer. During these years there was an active ladies aid and the West Marion group became famous for their homemade ice cream socials in the summer , the harvest suppers in the fall and their New Years dinners . The specialty at the New Years dinners were the casseroles of escalloped oysters. In 1940 the aid changed to the Womans Society of Christian Service and joined with churches in the Detroit Conference, Ann Arbor district, in the missionary work . The church building was destroyed by fire in March of 1958. The congregation met for a year at the Marion Town Hall until in 1959 they merged with the Green and Parkers Corners Churches to form the Trinity Methodist Church . In 1960 ground was broken at the corner of Iosco and Bull Run Roads and a new church built . Many willing hands from the three churches helped to erect the building. This is now the Trinity United Methodist Church on the circuit with Plainfield . There is an active womens group, a growing church school that meets Saturday mornings every two weeks, and an active U.M.Y.F . group meets. A parsonage has recently been built on land just West of Trinity Church which serves both churches . Rev . and Mrs . Jerome Smith are the present occupants of the parsonage. Mrs. Harold J.

Olive Coddington .. -/ Seven miles north of Howell is a quiet little community known as Oak Grove. Here are pictures of this little town in the early 1900's. The Ed Pearce home, later known as the John Staley home--1902- presently owned by Gregory Luberman . Oakgrove, 1895-1911 By Zelma Davenport My family moved to Oak Grove when I was two years old. My father rented a log house from Will Slider. Farm now owned by Mr. and Mrs. Robt. Allen. About three years later we moved to the house across from the parsonage . Rent was $4.00 a month . A big swing was put up on the large limb. Adults and children enjoyed alike . The town had two general stores. George Woods and Edd Pearce . The Pearce store is still active. The saw mill was owned by Tom and John Pearce and was one of the means of employment The grist mill owned by Art Pearce was burned down with three other buildings about 1906. It was rebuilt and operated by George Switcher . The hotel was owned by Mr. and Mrs. Bird Ellis. They also had the livery barn. The hotel burned in 1967. The blacksmith shop was operated by Bert and Will Conine. After school would stop and watch them shoe the horses . Mr. Kenny operated the elevator . Besides the farmers benefiting from it many of us earned our spending money here by picking beans . The beans were on a rotating belt and we picked the bad beans from the good ones. Our doctor was Dr. Erwin who made all his calls with his horse carriage . His office was in his house. My first day of school was Sept. 1898. Edith Hotelling was the teacher . We learned our 3R's in the Oak Grove High School. There were two rooms. The small room on the back had the grades up to the sixth. The large room the grades up to the eleventh . The teachers were Harry Durfee , Roy Lannen and Edmond Conklin. In the small room, Edith Durfee, Edith Hosley, Erwin and Leola Statey . If we were disciplined at school and complained about it at home we had no sympathy . Many of the farmers hauled logs in the winter to the saw mill. They hauled them on sleighs Dec., Jan. and Feb. had steady sleighing. They also put up ice for the summer . The ice was cut in blocks of 12 by 16 inches from the pond and put in ice houses (a small building) and packed between layers of saw dust from the saw mill. It usually lasted till late August. The ice was used for making ice cream on Sundays, the Fourth of July and the many ice cream socials not many home with an ice cream freezer . Transportation was by railroad , horse and carriage or cutter or walking. Edd Hotelling had the first auto about 1907. There was a gasoline motor coach on the Ann Arbor that stopped at the road crossin_g to discharge and pick up passengers . It was called "The Potato Bug," we would go to Howell on it to the roller rink on Sat. The Ladies Aid of the church gave a dinner once a month . The dinner was $.25, proceeds going to the church . The food was furnished by the church members . The dinners were always well attended . Oak Grove had a very good band . They gave concerts on Sat. nights. Mr. Isham was the band conductor . The huckleberr y swamp back of town gave us our berries for winter . It is state owned now. The Sears and Montgomery catalogs were an important way of shopping. The Catalogs gave us many pleasant hours. Weddings and funerals were held in the home.

The swimming hole was in the creek below the grist mill. When the mill was running we would have to wait for the race to slow down. We did not have radio , TV, autos and not many phones, but it did not take long to get a crowd to gather for the many socials and birthday parties . In summer the chautaugua "Old Maids Tea Party" was one of the projects to raise money for the church . Mrs. Edd Pearce, Mrs. Staley, Mrs. Stodard, Mrs. Dickerson, Mrs. Lamoreux, Mrs. Reader, Mrs. John Pearce, Mrs. 156 came with the big tent and an important way of shopping. Also the medicine shows and stock companies "Uncle Tom's Cabin" and Ten Nights in a Bar Room" were favorites . In winter there were sleigh rides, plenty of buffalo robes and blankets to keep us warm . The singing , fun making and sleigh bells on the horses are pleasant memories. Bixby, Mrs. Rodgers, Mrs .

Mrs. Lannen graduated from Howell High School and from Ypsilanti State Normal College. She taught school in the Howell Elementary System and in Hartland. She is the mother of four children. She was always interested in all Literary projects . She was a charter member of the Lansing Poetry Club and for many years a member of the Howell Women's Club. For several years she worked two afternoons a week in the Howell Carnegie Library. She also was a member and an active worker in the Oak Grove Methodist Church and former member of Philip Livingston Chapter DAR. Grace Lannen helped to create an atmosphere of intellectual growth and understanding in whatever group she was associated with. Written by her dear friend , Carrie Howell AUTUMN'S EVIDENCE Ido not know how Love began For Dawn surpasses human ken, Nor can I comprehend the span Of Love, in age on age of men, But this I hold-Love blesses man. In countless ways, I see and know The evidence of Love's rare plan- Today, I saw the sumacs glow. -Grace Filkins Lannen MEMORIAL PRAYER (Written in memory of Anna Norquist Swanson, a former Lansing Poetry Club member) Lord of our lives, from whom we came And whence all must return , she heard Your whispered call and, like a bird With beauty answered, "Yea." Yet she Still lives for we can hear her song Poised on its pinions, soul aflame As goldenly, it rings along The sun drenched cliffs of memory . May that sweet song, 0 God, inspire Our earthbound flights to crags yet higher. -Grace Filkins Lannen FRIENDSHIP Friendship is a hallowed blossom, Shy and sweet. It roots itself into our hearts And is replete With fragrance, grace , and beauty . Like a soft caress, It touches all the soul-starved world With loveliness . -Grace Filkins Lannen Annabel Kellogg Van Winkle By (Mrs. Charles K.) Betty Barth Vanwinkle Annabel Kellogg VanWinkle lived almost her entire married life in Howell, Michigan. The early years were necessarily taken up with the care of a growing family of five children. However, her interests were many and varied, serving to bring enrichment to her home and family. Her father , Charles C. Kellogg, was assistant postmaster and postmaster of Detroit , Michigan for 38 years . During this time, he collected stamps, a hobby which she continued, and which she encouraged in her children. Through the D.A.R. she pursued her interest in history and geneology. She traced the geneological lives of not only her family , but also those of the VanWinkles, assembling the data for her children to know and share with their children. This interest in the past led to the careful preservation of family antiques, an additional bonus for her children and grandchildren. An outgoing person, she had an enduring interest in, and love of people. She belonged to several women's clubs of her time, and entertained frequently. A life-long devotion to her church reflected her constant trust in God and nature . She worked faithfully in her church, and as long as health permitted , in her garden . After her family was grown and gone, she joined the Lansing Poetry Club with various other women of Livingston County, enjoying a whole new outreach of association and expression. Much of her faith and compassion is reflected in her poems. Several of her poems were published in poetry magazines , and a collection of her poems was published , entitled "Heritage." A COVERED BRIDGE A covered bridge above a rushing brook, Re-echoes sounds which linger there once heard; When I within its sheltered coolness look! Of oxen lowing a soft plaintive word, Their muzzles etched with hoarfrost, their flanks A steaming mass , those winters of deep snow; Of hobnailed boots resounding on the planks, And skipping tiny shoes with copper toes. The brook goes on and tells of days when men With pole and peavey floated logs to build The bridge ; of boys beneath who should have been At school, whose voices years ago were stilled. Gay lad and lass made it their trysting place These faintly now I hear within its space. by Annabel Vanwinkle INDIAN TRAIL A boulder stands beside a busy street To mark that trail the Indians had worn Across the state on moccasined soft feet The Chippewas to hunt or went forsworn To smoke the pipe of peace with the white men Or trekked to join the Pottawatamies Under a cold pale moon to dance and then Grim call, north wind came crackling in the trees. 161 A lonely pine stands by that thoroughfare To mark the trail and whisper of the spaces So empty of the forest trees now rare , A sentinel for those two dying races , There are no braves who journey in the fall Or other Norway trees so straight and tall. WAR The War God has broken his chain And sends men out inflicting pain ; To prove his right and worship him With bomb, torpedo and with shell ; Thus make the world a living hell For those who will not fall with awe Saluting him who made that law. The Peace God with resolute will Leads men with firmness out to kill; But not for avarice 's gain Nor yet for crazed ambition 's lure Does he urge men to now endure ; And draws them into war for peace To conquer so that strife may cease . And when at last in chains the War God stands The Peace God looks at blood upon his hands . THE CHRIST MASS The scent of balsam fills all the Church While lighted candles shed their soft glow. The Midnight Mass soon will be intoned. The Sanctus bell is heard very clear . The Priest repeats the words as of old. This is My body broken for you, And this My blood which is shed for you. The snow is falling fast footsteps hushed As worshippers walk silently home, A part of the Christ Child in their souls. OCTOBER A purple haze engulfs the hills October's early morns And dew is deep upon the grass While wood smoke fills the air . The harvest time is nearly past October rest awhile At noon the sun hangs high; its glow Of gold enfolds the earth And lures the birds on southward wing To tarry in their flight Your loveliness is everywhere October wait awhile At dusk a chill wraps everything And winter 's icy breath Is felt in all the out-of-doors And men seek hearth and cheer . Oh! fairest month of all the year October stay awhile. 162 MY OLD CLOCK Alone, when all is peaceful and quite still, From where it sits upon the mantel shelf I hear my old clock musing to itself Of great grandfather 's house built on a hill Where it belonged in Boston town when new. "I told my friends when to arise, be fed, And when at ten each one should be in bed ; I sent the children off to school I knew. Your family do not heed my alarm. Instead , electric clocks tell them to rise. Now I am old; a slight I can excuse, For I have learned that age brings its own charm, And with each year grows quietly more wise, I see you, tranquil , too, content to muse . Clara L. Sharpe One of the Howell poets of the 1940's was Clara L. Sharpe , wife of Earl , who resided at 111 Byron Road from 1915 until her death in 1960. She was an active member of the community , her particular interest being the choir of the old Walnut Street Methodist Church. Although some of her poems were published in the Detroit News and church publications, most of them were simply shared with her friends . Her topics reflected her great love for her family, for her friends and for her God. Many of them, such as , " Our Brother Man," (included in this collection) dealt with ideas that were destined to become major issues in the post-war era. Maurine Sharpe Crandall MY MAN-EARL SHARPE I'd like to tell you 'bout my man. He's one the world should know. He's kind and good to everyone Upon this earth below. The folks all feel they know him well, And every boy and girl Says " Hi there!" as they pass him by. They always call him Earl. We live within a little town Where everyone's his friend And all feel free to ask of him For he's so free to lend. He'd take the shirt right off his back If one were thus in need. He loves to work around his yard And sow God's flower seed . There's not another yard in town Looks quite as nice as ours For my good man takes pride in it And works on it for hours . He says it makes our little place Look nice as folks pass by, And so it helps our little town. It takes the tourist's eye. Now my man's not so much for style. He'll wear a suit of blue And then he may put green socks on And his hat may not be new. But, just the same, folks like him. Tho' the world is in a whirl, They always pat him on the back And say , "How are you, Earl? " Now, I say he's worth a million, A man the world should know. If every man could be like him, There 'd be peace on earth below. MOVING AWAY They're moving away , My neighbors next door, Scott, the boy, Joe, the dog; Pat, the girl I adore, And Helen and Howard . I hardly can bear To think of that house Without those folks there. The children have seemed Clara L. Sharpe February 5, 1943 Almost like my own. Joe came to my back door Each day for a bone. They're mighty good folks, And I know I shall cry When the moving van goes And I wave them good-bye. Clara L. Sharpe August 23, 1943 Published, Detroit News, June 3, 1944 OUR BROTHER MAN I sat listening to a sermon Preached by a man of fame . 'Twas on a lovely summer's eve . The sunset was a flame. His pulpit was beside the shore, Beyond there stretched a pier . The people sat and listened. They came from far and near. My eyes gazed out beyond the crowd And out upon the pier A colored boy stood all alone. From there he tried to hear The words the pastor had to say For he was not allowed To join the white folks on the shore Or mingle with the crowd. My thoughts were taken from the words The pastor had to say, For I was thinking of the boy Who stood so far away. In him I saw the sermon That men must brothers be, Before we can have peace on earth To last eternally. Our color may not be the same But when we see the soul, And not the surface of the man , Our lives will be made whole. So we must give them equal rights, The blacks, all race of man, To walk upon this earth the same As all the white folks can. For God made the world for all of us And not for just a few. So let's hasten the day for equal rights And make this world anew. Then our battles will be over ; All alike we'll be ; and then We'll know exactly what God meant By, "Love your brother men." Clara L. Sharpe, March 12, 1943 Published in the Michigan Christian Advocate 163 ODE TO THE SHIAWASSEE There is a woodland place I know, Through whose depths a stream doth flow. Swirling, eddying through all time , For all creation indeed sublime. Art thou named for warriors past, Who in thee didst their line once cast? Or traveled abroad thy rippling waters, With skins of beaver, mink and otters. Thou hast known the winter cold, When freezing winds doth blow so bold. Then locking fast thy channels do, Thou appearest to sleep til spring renew . Oh friend of beaver and deer alike, And neath thy waters rippling bright . Thou carest for crayfish and the clam, Under protection of his dam . Grasses and willows adorn thy banks, For which indeed we give Thee thanks. When catkins in the spring appear , To fill our hearts with delight and cheer . Thy sun l it pools of watercress, Thou dost bestow on us and bless. Where minnows do wander to and fro, Though never quite sure where to go . Often I have sought thee when, I chanced to wander thy wooded glen. How peace and tranquility thou didst give, And caused my spirit again to live . But alas, Man ' s foolish plunder, For his ways have cast thee asunder. And often I' ve wished it were possible to restore , Thy woodland beauty for evermore . GEORGE G . CELESTIN Emil Ernst Bode Merely Explanatory By One of Them We stood in the barn at midnight While the clock was striking the hour, Waiting for the lights to vanish Around the schoolhouse tower. This was the night selected , And a better one never was seen For fulfilling the unpleasant duty Postponed from Hallow-E'en. 164 Two hours we had busily labored In moulding our master-piece , But at night's most ghostly hour We three from our labors did cease . And now the town slept in darkness , And we were free to come forth After taking from the window our blanket , And blowing out the lantern, of course. To avoid inquisitive watchmen , We took a rather wide route; On the sharp lookout for danger , And if necessary , ready to scoot. But we reached the schoolhouse in safety And after securing a limb , Slid thro' the door of the woodhouse, Accompanied, of course, by him. We passed thro ' the halls in silence; Ascending the well-worn flights And climbing the rickety ladders, Could see here and there the lights. Every window we tried was fastened, (We were not prepared for such fun) And ere we could get the nails loosened, The court house clock struck one. But they yielded at last to our efforts And we now proceeded with ease; Our limb we shoved thro ' the window And " Old Grizzly' swung to the breeze . We now tho't of duty completed, And hoped that the morrow's sun Would show to all beholders What, perhaps , we might have done. But what should we do with the ladder , To leave it would ruin the hope. We pulled it up into the belfry , And slid down the scuttle rope . So this is the simple story Of the work of one dark night, When we three risked our lives in the belfry, Without even a match for a light. And for fear that suspicion has fastened On those who deserve not the same, This is written to clearly establish That we three are but to blame. The Wicked Stand in Slippery Places By E . E . Bode, S.S.D. One day, the snow begins to fall On cities large and hamlets small . Next, comes a thaw or winter rain : A freeze turns slush to ice again Then, icy sidewalks lie in wait For him who sees, a step too late, The slip'ry place, that glary strand, Where e'en the wicked cannot stand A man falls slith 'ring on the ice With comments fervent, but not nice: A schoolboy, trailing just behind, Snickered , of course, you know the kind Then he, too, slipt and down he went, Saying things he must have meant For the shockproof ears of hardened kids Or the guy, ahead, who'd hit the skids Such spills occur throughout the town Where old and young keep slipping down, Breaking a leg, spraining a wrist , Or giving backs a crippling twist (But Not In This Town) With ne'er a slip, by day or night, Loaded down or trav 'ling light But there are spots , on every street, That those who walk are sure to meet. Some day the owners may forget To watch their steps-they 'll get theirs yet In many towns, they slap a fine On folks who fail by eight or nine, To shovel off new-fallen snow: Why not in mine-I'd like to know? I think, b'gosh, I'll go away Where snow that falls remains to stay Until warm weather comes again And folks that need it, pray for rain Life must be grand in Tucumcari Where the skies are blue and nights are starry, Or down in sunny Mexicali : No snow to shovel there, by golly I may move out to Tucson, spicy- The sidewalks there are never icy- Luxuriate in Honolulu Or stick it out here-what would you do? All hail the man who leaves no snow Doctor of Snow Shoveling Upon his walk where one may go Phantom Guests at the Twilight Hour By Emil Ernst Bode To reach the age"Three Score and Ten" Is all that's promised to most men, And the weight of four score , year on year, Is a heavy load for some, I fear . But, looking down the Vale of Years From old age back to childhood's tears , Are days and scenes dear to recall , Fond Mem'ry 's gift to old-timers, all, And companions of a vanished day, Boy pals of mine, long gone their way, Oft appear at the twilight hour , Phantom guests at an old man's bower. We sit and review the fun we had ; All of it free for every lad- Just a can of bait and an old fishpole, The magic lure of the swimming hole, Roaming the woods when autumn came, Hunting for squirrel, elusive game ; 165 Winter sports on lake and hills, Pastimes beloved-each had its thrills. Those happy, carefree, boyhood days : We view them through a golden haze . Time marches by on hurrying feet Yet halts, for that hour, when old boy friends meet. October 26, 1952 An Old Timer's Reveries By Emil Ernst Bode I oft recall long-vanished days: My old home by the mill, Big bluegills 'round the water wheel, The " crick" beneath the hill, The winding path to the country school I tramped with dinner pail, Young wintergreens back in the woods, Johnny-jump-ups in the vale. Those joyous hours at the swimming hole, October's golden days, The lure of winter's icebound lake, Sport, catching on bobsleighs. Could I reclaim one, priceless day From boyhood's squandered store, I'd save it up for Christmas Time, To live its thrills one more; To share it with that pal of mine And the boys I used to know: Scarce one owned a dime; but fun was free-- In those days of long ago. Soon, scattered afar, boy sailors, all, Embarking on Life's sea, Now, few are left of those Argonauts Who put to sea with me. The Chrisbnas Fire By Emil Ernst Bode In the embers' Gold of Ophir, Once, a gnarled, hillside tree, Appear familiar scenes and faces Through Mem'ry's magic alchemy. We fare, again, on youthful ventures, By trails we followed long ago, Across the lake to beckoning hilltop; To wintry woods and fields of snow. 166 Mary Park Vogel Mrs. Mary Park Vogel who resides on Spring Street, Howell was born May 13, 1884i n Berrien County, Mich.

Building a silo in 1909. 171 That has to be a real string of Bluegills! The lore and lure of Howell Lake By Francis Raymond Line Copyright 1976 Howell Lake of the 1910's- and all those tangled woods and fields which turned its five-mile circumference into a world of wonder-probably belonged to someone, although no signs and few fences suggested such a possibility . We Howell kids were the real owners. How man y American towns have an enormous sprawling surface of clear blue water lapping right up to the end of some of the streets-almost to the edge of the school playground? After school or on Saturdays : " Hey, Mom, we're going down to the lake"- and we were off to one of the swimming holes, or a rendezvous with a hidden scow, an icy adventure in winter , or sometimes the five-mile trip of exploration clear around it. There was always adventure ; the lake was different every time we went there-filled with new mysteries and excitements to tantalize a small boy's taste buds. Saturdays were the most likely times that we would head over to the deserted log cabin , almost half way round , on the far side . As I recall, it was the only structure of any kind that we encountered on the whole trip around the lake, from the 172 time we left Wenk's Mill not far from the foot of Lake Street , until we reached Hutching 's Mill by the dam clear at the other end. The log cabin was just a one-room shell-with a loft-but we always liked to explore it. That area had the fewest touches of civilization and was good for all kinds of discoveries . A small boy is blest with a double set of exploratory powers. He tackles every exploration , both physically and imaginatively . The physical searching didn't last long-after we had dug between a few logs for secret treasure , and found that the loft was so rickety it couldn't conceal a thing. But our imaginings peopled that cabin and its surrounding field and woods with every kind of hardy and romantic pioneer of some dim past. Who knows but what we were right? Kids Love Snakes Surrounding the cabin , there really were things to explore . It think it's probable that my sense of wonder , which has been one of the greatest assets of my life, must have been born-or at least received some marvelous fertilizationaround those fields and swails , and along the tiny creek , over there on the far side of Howell Lake and on the whole trip around it. There was a fine woods just beyond the cabin. They say the grass on the other side is always greenest. I don't recall the grass over there being green, but it was tall and wind-blown-fun to run in. There were lots of snakes ; once, with much hunting, we found 22 in a single visit. Kids love snakes . Once Church Platt and I found a partly-rotting rowboat sunk in a marshy strip near shore below the cemetery . We pulled it out, and every few days after school we went down to nurse that old hulk back to life. It was a sunken pirate's treasure right in our own back pond. The launching came on a Saturday. Using a board for an oar we got about a quarter of the way across the lake-one of us bailing breathlesslybefore the hulk finally sank . We swam back to shore . In winter , when the lake had frozen a foot or so thick, men would mark off a section as big as the high school football field and saw the ice into great oblong crystal blocks. Big draft horses pulled the blocks into the straw-packed wooden ice house on shore-our town's ice supply for all summer . There was a lot of wonderful noise around there; the enormous saws biting into the ice ; men yelling at the stubborn horses ; occasional explosions as the ice sheet would crack ; the horses puffing and straining like steam engines, accompanied by neighing and snorting . What mattered to us was that the open water-after the cutting-would freeze back over and make the smoothest , glassiest skating of the winter , as slick and shiny as the marble soda-fountain counter down at Barron & Wines drugstore . We always had to be careful , though, to wait until it was thoroughly frozen again . I think that one or two people fell through by using the new ice too soon. I know a lot of dogs did. There were signs: "Thin Ice" but how many dogs can read signs? Approach of spring was when the lake was most dangerous . Once my brother and I, coming across, fell The first V .C. kids' fishing contest on Howell Lake. through when the ice had become thin near the edges , below Wenk's Mill. It was Sunday and no one was around . We didn't go clear under and somehow helped each other to get to shore. By the time we reached home-running most of the way-our clothes felt as though they were frozen stiff. We felt that way, too. As spring advanced , the shore ice would melt more and more , until a strip of tempting open water a quarter of a mile wide would lie between shore and the big ice sheet out in the lake . That's when my brother and I would go over to the west swimming hole, strip, and swim out till we touched the ice. We would shake with the cold, but I guess it was fun. At least we were there to do the same thing again the next spring. There were two swimming holes. The one east of Hutching's Mill, on the far side beyond the island , was where we swam out to the ice, and that was the one we used as we grew bigger . The first swimming hole that I remember was on the opposite shore across from Wenk's Mill. It was a little muddy-just a 15 or 20 foot mud-bottomed clearing in the reeds that some unknown philanthropist had made in the past. I don't suppose any kid in Howell used a bathing suit when swimming in Howell Lake . We'd hike around to the swimming hole, peel off our clothes , and plunge in. No one was ever around . Except once. As a bunch of us boys-I think it was Chuck, Hank, and Sam Platt , Rod and Gerd Hubbell, and maybe "Dad" Tupper-were approaching the swimming hole, we heard voices. Then, just as we got near , cries of dismay . Some girls rushed out of the water , grabbed their lacy clothes which were on some of the bushes, and ran away wildly. Women's Lib was a long ways off in 1910's. Girls weren 't supposed to use Howell Lake for swimming-not in those days, at least when boys wanted the swimming hole. Frisbee 's Woods was close to the lake-down near the 173 The original Pettysville Mill, north of Hamburg. cemetery . There we kids could hike from each other , then have a world of fun trying to find one another . The young hickory trees were so limber that we could climb to the top of one, start swaying , and almost reach the ground as we swayed back and forth. Edgar Rich Burrough 's Tarzan of the Apes had just come out. I remember Dusty Purdy and Chuck Platt running up breathlessly to our house to ask if we'd read it yet. That book, for a time , turned Frisbee 's Woods into an African jungle, and the hickory trees became giant teak forests-or whatever Tarzan swung on. In the fall we sometimes gathered hickory nuts in Frisbee 's Woods but there were better places-with the shaggy-bark kind-farther out from Howell. In spring , these woods were the best place of all to get violets and May Flowers for making May Baskets , which we'd hang on our favorite girl 's door the night of May 1, give a loud knock, then run away . Rowing, Skating Hazardous One arm of the lake-toward the southeast-used to have a lot of stumps . These were bad , since they made rowing dangerous in summer , and skating hazardous in winter . That 's 174 what the grown-ups thought. We kids rather enjoyed snaking our boat in and around the stumps; or sometimes in winter trying to dodge them as we skated . One winter , when the lake level was unusually low, the stumps stuck up a long ways above the ice. A. Riley Crittenden organized a volunteer work team . Men went out and cut off the stumps at ice-level. I can't remember now, but I suppose that when the lake level rose in the spring , the stumps were no longer a problem . The only "inhabited" part of the whole lake except for the areas near Wenks and Hutchin's Mills was the cemetery . Once a speaker at our weekly high school assembly (I think it was the same A. Riley Crittenden) said : "Howell's cemetery possibilities are better than any other town in the state ." C.W. Courter , the school superintendent who was in charge of the assembl y, didn't know whether Mr. Crittenden was speaking seriously , or giving us all a dig. I think he was serious . The cemetery was beautiful-the place we'd nearly always take visitors for a drive . On three sides it was surrounded by water . The road around it was narrow. When driving around it the left-hand way, the narrow road went down a steep incline, then veered sharply to the right just at the water's edge. An elderly woman , in an old car , once didn't make the turn and drove right into the lake . That was a favorite story which we always told to the visitors . We kids used to spend a lot of time reading the grave stone markers . We were genuinely interested in seeing the dates-way way back-when some of the persons had been born, how long some of them lived, and things like that. We liked to read the "sayings" on the markers, too. Sometimes the printing would be partially blurred or worn away with time. We made wild excited guesses at the illegible dates on some of the oldest markers . We were rubbing elbows with history . When one of us found a really old date , we'd yell for the other kids to come look. Chuck Platt 's father , Mayor S.S. Platt , had carved and ground a lot of those markers in his little downtown monument shop. Chuck was my closest friend in early school days. Most of the time , our view of the cemetery was from the lake itself. In summer , we'd row from near Wenk's Mill, going clear around toward the dam at Hutching's Mill, sometimes stopping to reconnoitre on the island . That journey always took us around two sides of the cemetery . And in winter we'd make that same route on skates . When the ice was smooth and the wind just right, two of us would sometimes hold a double bed sheet between us. It was better than a sail and if we could keep from falling, the wind would whirl us around the cemetery point and the length of that lake faster than we could go in Mr. Hamilton's Maxwell. Traveling that fast was cold. But it was more exciting than a ride on the whip at the Fowlerville Fair . Sometimes we'd visit the lake at night-when some of the older fellows were fishing through the ice. That was a different world. The far dim boundaries of the lake made it seem like a frozen ocean and the woods over by the swimming hole looked like a million miles away. Everything was big, and quiet , and sort of mysterious. Sometimes, if there was a moon, it would be beautiful , especially in winter after a snow storm when the lake was covered white. I can't very well imagine how a boy can grow up without a lake in his town. Stepping Off with the Line Brothers The Line Brothers-Winfield and Francis, former Howell residents-virtually started their lifelong careers in this scene before the Livingston County Court House. This was the day, in the summer of 1922, that they began a 13-month hiking and adventure trip to every state in the Union, working their way and sleeping out every night. The other scene shows them , between their sophomore and junior years at the University of Michigan, in 1925, starting a similar trip on which they traveled around the world, by foot , bicycle, cattle boat, immigrant ship , and freighters. Francis Line went on to make travel and adventure his career , producing documentary motion pictures in Lapland , Finland, Western Europe, Asia, and the United States , with which he lectured throughout America . Today, in association with his wife Helen, whom he married in Howell in 1928, he makes educational films for schools, universities, and libraries.

This picture is dated 1912. The building was torn down several years ago . Phyllis Euler Rancour The Michigan State Sanatoriunt By Mrs. Nellie Glenn The Michigan State Sanatorium for Tuberculosis, the first institution for the treatment of the disease in Michigan, was established by an act of the legislature in 1905. Dr. Robert L. Kennedy of Detroit was appointed Superintendent and under his direction the building and development was accomplished. The institution opened for the treatment of patients on September 10th 1907. The Staff at that date was : Dr. R.L. Kennedy, Supt. and Physician ; Charles Hoff, Farmer ; Orla Smith, Fireman ; Ella Smith, Cook; Ethel McIntire, Maid. The Superintendent and his family lived then in the old farm house at the south edge of the Sanatorium property. Later , when the Main Building with accomodations for the staff and employees was completed in the summer of 1908, the Superintendent and his family lived in that building. The farmer and his family lived first in the small house at the East entrance to the grounds. On September 11th, 1907, Nellie Lansing of Howell began work as the secretary and bookkeeper. These notes are compiled from her records during the period of September 11, 1907 to August 20th, 1910. The first two patients were admitted the evening of Sept. 10th, 1907. .. Louis Rambo and Walter Ulrick, both of Detroit and both patients of Dr . Henry J . Hartz who was the Secretary of the State Sanatorium Board. (At that time each institution in the State had an appointed Board of Directors who governed the administration of its own institution. Board meetings were held monthly at the Sanatorium. At these meetings the bills and accounts were audited, the policy of government discussed and all business transacted .) 176 The accomodations for patients were an open shack no. 1 built on the brow of the hill overlooking the East entrance about two hundred feet from the rear of the administration building. This accomodated ten or twelve men, two open wings with half doors on the south side, and a heated lobby and dressing room. Treatment consisted of rest twenty-four hours a day, much of it in bed. The winter of 1907-0Sw as a particularly severe one and horse blankets , felt boots, heavy coats and clothing were required equipment for each patient . Each patient was required to walk to the main dining room in the Administration Building for his meals . This was usually the only exercise allowed. Most of the early patients were far advanced cases . Six months was allowed for treatment for each patient. Cases were in two classes : those able to pay their own expenses and State aid or County cases . The charge of an individual was $7.00 per week, and no exceptions were made in the care and accomodations of either class. The nursing , food, laundry and housing were all included in the cost. The monthly allowance by the State for maintenance was $666.66 and was strictly observed in expenditures . Each employee received a stated salary , his rent , food and laundry. At this time the scale of wages was high for the community and many local persons sought employment here. At the time of opening, the Main building was only the rear part consisting of the kitchen, dining room, a small room used as the office, a laundry in the basement; upstairs over these rooms were the sleeping rooms for the help, nurse , secretary . Total of six rooms. The building was continued during the severe winter of 1907-08a nd was completed for use with offices, reception room, laboratory and linen rooms below and sleeping rooms for staff above in July 1908.

These two pictures are self explanatory, showing the shack -type buildings which housed the patients in the early days of the TB San . One of the pictures is dated 1911, the other 1912. 177 Construction of the old Main Administration Building of the MSS . This picture shows the contractor-builder, Fred Euler of Howell and infirmary wing ( of wood) was added on the east front the following year. The wing accomodated six patients in separate rooms and was used for extreme cases . The women's shack no. 2 was opened in the spring of 1908 and later that summer shack no. 3, called "Hearts Ease" (named by the men who occupied it and had all been patients of Henry J. Hartz of Detroit, one of the most enthusiastic sponsors of the institution .) Many of the patients came from Detroit, a few from Grand Rapids, some from Northern Michigan. Very few were admitted at that time from Howell. Patients were met at the • railroads by the Sanatorium conveyance which was an open three-seated wagon drawn by two black horses. In addition to this vehicle, there was a one horse carriage drawn by "Nellie," an old white horse, a cutter and a big bob sled. In the summer of 1908, George W. Teeple of Pinckney, the treasurer of the Board, came often to visit and hired a man with an automobile to drive him there . The automobile had great difficulty in making the grade from the east entrance to the top of the hill. Patients rarely left the sanatorium except on special permission . Many families visited their relatives there . Amusement and occupation were limited. The first library was composed of the books owned and loaned by the secretary. Later gifts of magazines and books were made by Howell people and the real start of the library was a box of fifty current books of fiction sent to the Sanatorium by Mrs. Alexander McPherson of Detroit. The expenditure of any State money was not allowed for non essentials . In the summer of 1908 a phonograph and some records were purchased for the main reception room for the entertainment of patients at given periods of the week. The sum of $60.00w as questioned by the auditor's department and the purchase of further things of that kind was forbidden. There was no 178 his crew during the construction of the building . The date on the back of this picture is 1908. provision for handiwork of any kind. Patients did bring needlework of their own and the men played cards in their shacks. Occupational therapy was not practiced. Patients were limited to rest , more rest , fresh air, at all times. Daily readings were made of temperature and pulse ; once a month physical examinations were made of lungs. No drugs were given; of course no surgery was done. The best hope held for a patient was an "arrested case. " During three years covered in this recollection, some three hundred and fifty patients were admitted for treatment. In 1910 the capacity of the sanatorium was 86 patients. The physicians who served during this period: Dr. Robert L. Kennedy 1907-1909-resigned on account of ill health ; Mr. Howard Kinyon of Ann Arbor, assistant supt. Dec. 1907-Feb. 1908; Dr . Claude L. Sigler of Pinckney, acting supt. Jan . 1908- July , 1908; Dr. B.H. Glenn, assistant supt. August 1908-Dec. 1908; Dr. Chas. Matterson, acting supt. (not licensed in Michigan) Oct. 1908-March 1909; Dr. Earl McCoy of Grand Rapids , acting supt. April 1908-August 1908; Dr. Eugene B. Pierce from Aug. 7th, 1908f or many years, at least until 1920. The office work during the first three years was carried on by one secretary, Miss Nellie Lansing . Correspondence, bookkeeping, patients records were kept in the office. The secretary also acted as receptionist. Members of the Board of Trustees at the beginning of this period (1908) were : Frank B. Leland of Detroit, President ; Frank R. Gray of Clare, Secretary; George W. Teeple of Pinckney , Treasurer ; Henry J . Hartz of Detroit ; Collins H. Johnston of Grand Rapids; Royal S. Copeland of Ann Arbor . Examining Physicians listed in the 1908 annual report were, among the total 61-Dr . W.J . Huntington of Howell; Dr. G.P. Winchell of Ionia ; Drs . H.F . & C.L. Sigler of Pinckney.

Finding a time to meet without missing classes was a difficult task . Once things got rolling a couple of astonishing things came about. First of all the check for the Empty Stocking Fund that last year 's N.H.S. got together finally found its way to the Empt y Stocking. This year instead of raising money to donate to some needy group in the community it was decided that time would be donated instead . A group of students got together to help the senior citizens. Because money in the school was short and no spring musical was planned , it was voted that money raised be used to put on a musical. National Honor Society sponsored a talent show that ran for two nights and a St. Patrick 's Day Dance . In May the Society will be helping with the Cancer Drive . There was also a scholarship that two members were nominated to submit applications for. Peggy Turner and Kay Mossburg were the nominees. National Honor Society Officers : President , Sharon Cooper; Vice President , Bob Wilson; Secretary , Kay Mossburg ; Treasurer, Sue Lash; Sponsor, Lois Thayer . Homecoming By Terri St. Onge On October seventeenth , senior Mary Gordon was crowned "Homecoming Queen" for the 1975-76 year . Mary, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Lee Gordon, was a Howell cheerleader for three years, an honor student and active in student government during her junior year . On that cold, windy autumn night Mary and her court, rode through the town down to Page Field , where the evenings activities were to take place . These activities consisted of the final judging for the class float competition , in which the senior class walked off with top honors. With a Bicentennial theme to work with, their float was a ship, modeled after the one used in the famous " Boston Tea Party. " Its motto was "Forget The Tea ; Dump The Chiefs" referring of course to the Okemos Chiefs, one of Howell's greatest sports rivals . Then was the football game, and the crowning of the queen's court at half-time . The senior class was also victorious in the overall competition of Pep Week, (the week and events preceding homecoming ), coming in first place. Pep Week had a dress up day, again with a Bicentennial theme, a huge bonfire at the high school, Powder Puff football, Tug-0-War, and a pep assembly with a yelling contest and a pie eating contest. Then on to the game that night. Although Howell lost, it still was a hard fought game . The 1974-75H omecoming Queen, Jane Woodworth crowned the new queen, Mary Gordon. Escorting the queen was varsity football player Tom Guilmette. Crowned. maid of honor was Kelly Andrews, an active member of the senior class . Her escort for the evening was George Perez, also a varsity football player . The senior representative was Kathy Stackpoole, who was active in yearbook and journalism . She was escorted by senior, Brian Mitchell. Colleen Vernier , escorted by Jim Dennis was the junior representative. Debbie Howard, escorted by Lance Sprague represented the sophomore class .

Much effort was put forth by the students and parents to raise money for the continuance of these cultural activities. This made for a very successful senior year . The band was shaken up by the resignation of director, Mr. Nathan Colonna, but we were soon joined by the great talents of Mr. Douglas Roose. The half time entertainment of the football season was performed by the marching band . This band consisted of a drum major , four majorettes, 20 porn pon girls, and 96 bandsmen .

This building is now used as Cohoctah Twp . Hall. Left to right in picture. Elmer Trowbridge, Mrs . Clark Miner, Clark Miner (proprietor) and Stanley Children . Eric Hibbard 1915 The following was composed and read by 0. J. Lore of Deerfield to the members of the Cohoctah Gun Club at an entertainment in the Bank Hall at Cohoctah in 1915. I began with Mrs . Olsen, a lady of renown, And as fine an old lady as there is in town; Mr. Westphal next, the lightening-rod man; Who deals in fine horses, and autos when he can; Mr. Peckens comes next, with hammer in hand; He will work for awhile, and then he will stand . He makes you believe, (and he talks with a grin), That a _quart of water will turn into gin. Mrs. Johnson, the next who I ives on the street , Is as fine a lady as you wish to meet; Mrs. Peckins next, whom no one should snub , As one of her boys belongs to the Club. And Snyder I believe a carpenter by trade, Has made a good name by the buildings he's made, And now we come to the phone Exchange, With all in order and nothing to arrange ; The manager is often cussed and given a bad name; They talk till they ring off-he smiles just the same. Mrs . Martin and son, they live next door; I boarded there once. How Bill did snore! 194 He and I went out one night for a stroll; They accused us of stealing , but we never stole. Mr . Kethcum comes next with a mansion fine; He attends to his business a good share of the time; In his business house across the way You will find him there most every day. Now comes the Bank in a building grand, And one of the best there is in the land ; If you drop in there for a little loan You are met with a smile and not a groan. Mr . Miller comes next with his wares for sale; He sells pop, ice cream and ginger ale ; He also handles the U.S . mail. Thomas Kelly, the next, you're all aware, Married a lady by the name of Thayer . I knew Thomas a long time ago, When he and I had a hard roe to hoe. Mr . Locke , the last merchant that came to town , Keeps everything in tools from a threshing machine down . His stock of hardware is always complete, His wife and he are nice people to meet. (The editor here wants to add a line : That it's Cox 'o Cohoctah who is boss at this time. He purchased the interest of the well-liked Locke And is handling a bigger and better stock.) We now arrive at the railroad station; A busy place in a good location. The freight that is handled in this little town, Is not to be equalled in the towns around. We now go over the track a ways, And find the place where Cora Ball stays. This street you all know has got two sides, And across the way Mr. Hadsall resides. Mr. Hadsall, they tell me and 'tis very well known, Sends away for the goods which he could buy at home. We now drift back to the Cohoctah Hotel, Which is known far and wide and liked very well. The meals served there are fit for a queen, And the beds they sleep in are spotlessly clean. Across the track is the general store, Of the H.G. Ketchum I spoke of before. Now we come to the store of Ed Pratt and Son, Where the people flock in about sixteen to one. The way they meet you is not in disguise, And he gets the worth of his money who buys. Wrigglesworth John, the next down the line, Sells salt, coal and tile, cement and white pine. Sell him your beans, your coal, wool and hay, For he is the man in Cohoctah to stay. Wrigglesworth, Nancy, the next on the street, As fine an old lady as one wishes to meet; Speak of her kindly, speak of her the same, For she raised a large family, with a very long name.

Miner is shown on the 'right with George Killin who worked for many years as a clerk . This was a general store as indicated by the merchandise displayed. It also housed the Cohoctah Post Office for many years. A son, Rolland C. Miner was affiliated with the store and also served as postmaster in Cohoctah from 1919 until he retired in 1950. When the store was sold in 1944 the post office was moved across the street to what was known as the bank building. Dave Ackerman's place comes next in the row; He works in Flint where he rakes in the dough. Dave visits home every once in a while, And always wearing a good natural smile. "Little" Joe Brower is the barber in town, Who will shave you upward and then come down; He goes to work with scissors and blade, Steps back and views the balk he's made . Joe's a good fellow and can take a joke, And will pass a dime to a man that's broke. Mr. Sanford is rich in houses and lands, And heartily greets you with outstretched hands. He's a pretty good man to have in town, For he makes the wheels go round and round. (There's a little addition, just out of town, Sprang up in the night when no one was round .) Jake Hunt is the first who comes to my mind, He runs a feed stable and livery combined. Just hand him the price and sit down awhile, And he'll come and get you in rather fine style . Roy Ketchum and family live over there- As happy a family as you'll find anywhere; He's a help to his grandmother who lives next door, And also helps in his fathers big store. There is Eugene Fay, who works for his bread, Not by the sweat of his brows, but by what's in his head . There's the doctor, too, unaquainted with me, If you're sick he'll visit you readily . He will feel your pulse and take your tempt., too, And probably give you a pill or two. · There are a few young people that live in town, And as nice young people as you'll find around; Speak of them kindly, they would wish you to, And I'll end my story and bid you Adieu . The store has been in continuous operation to the present time and is now owned and operated by Mr . John Vincent . The post office is still serving in Cohoctah although it has been relocated several times. For one period of time it was moved back to the store building when Don Royston was postmaster and also owner and operator of the store. Mr. Petersmark is the present postmaster and serves 70 to 80 regular customers . 195 Sprague School-1912 Back row left to right-Wayne Ryal, Lloyd Allbright, Burl Betterly, Loris Smith, Eber Palmer, Ira Donegan, Clair Listerman, Vincent Finley, Seldem Kelley, Vera Brown (teacher), Helen Madden, llah Bohm, Eva Allbright.

Eric Hibbard CohoctahB and 196 The CohoctahC alf Club For over fifty years the Cohoctah Calf Club has extended its influence in Cohoctah Township and Livingston County . Organized in 1924 under the leadership of then county agent, Clarence Bolander, the club had a charter membership of four . The four original members were two brothers, Kenneth and Kern Steinacker along with their cousins Wilbur and DeWitt Steinacker . County agent Bolandeis leadership gave r ise to several outstanding 4-H dairy club members who became community leaders and active in extension organizat ions . Wilbur Steinacker was a member of the State 4-H Dairy Judging Team in 1929 and DeWitt Steinacker was a member in 1934. Kenneth Steinacker was a member from 1924-1935 and the leader from 1936-1940. In later years as Mr. Steinacker's own son, Eugene and three daughters , Ethel, Diane and Daune became eligible , they joined the club and he again took on the duty of leader . In the beg i nning years of the club it is interesting to note the membership was predominately male but the years 1926 and 1927 do have the name of Claudine Burkhart appear ing on the role . There were no girls in the membership again until 1937 when Donna Steinacker became a member and remained through 1940. A list of the early leaders is as follows : Clarence Bolander 1925; Paul Steinacker 1926; Howard Steinacker 1927-1929; Wilbur Steinacker 1930-1934; Ralph Holmes 1935; Kenneth Steinacker 1936-1940; Bell Raising Bell ra,s,ng at the Cohoctah United Brethren in Christ Church, located at the corner of Gannon and Antcliff Roads in Cohoctah Township . The Cohoctah Church is the oldest class of the Michigan Conference which was organized in 1853. Along with the Conway Church it was known as the Conway Circuit, the two churches sharing the same pastor for over one hundred years. The church building was framed by Grove G. Cook, grandfather of Clifton and Raymond Cook, in 1974. It was not finished until a year later . The pastor at the time of this picture 1905 was Rev . C. B. Whittacri. It was pastored in 1899-1901 by J.P. Smith, grandfather of Kenneth Steinacker. It has had two Lady pastors, the Rev . Ruth Foltz in 1932 and Rev . Mae Custer in 1945. The present pastor 1976 is James Hartenburg . Lucy Cook Glendon Hoisington 1941-1945, except 1942 when there were only three members-Clarence Dyer , George Lewis and Jack Russell. They became a part of the Conway Jr's . for that year . Kendall Hoisington was the leader in 1946 and 1947. There have been various other leaders down through the years and the club is still serving the young people of the area . Interestingly this year will be the beginning of a third generation in the membership. Trach Finley, granddaughter of Kenneth Steinacker is presently making plans to join the club. 197 ( --- Class No. 10, Methodist Church, August, 1929. ... \ M.E.C hurchC, ohoctah The organization of the Oak Grove Circuit was authorized by the Michigan Conference, at its session in Flint on September 7-10, 1855, of which Green District in Burns Township in Shiawassee County, Deerfield Center, Deer Creek or Howeburg, and the Pink District in Livingston County were a part. The first religious meeting was in the township of Deerfield, in the faff of 1836, at the home of Ruben Pease . At an early date not available a class was organized in the Pink District with Everett House as leader . This class was supplied from the Oak Grove Circuit from 1855 to 1862. In the conference year of 1868 and 1869, the Graham Schoolhouse, located one-half mile east of Cohoctah village was made a preaching point on the Oak Grove charge for one year only . On December 19, 1894 the Cohoctah Ladies Aid Society was reorganized at the home of Mrs. John Martin. Present were Mrs. Everett Haduff, Mrs. Thomas Kelly, Mrs . James Wolfe, Mrs . David Ackerman and Mrs. William Graham . The collection totaled ninety cents. Soon after, a Sunday Schoof was organized by Mrs . Joseph Browning , Mrs. Everett Hadsall, Mrs. John Martin and Mrs. William Haskell . ft was held in the Graham Schoolhouse sometimes with a very small attendance , but with the faith and courage of the afore mentioned ladies it, with the Ladies Aid, was the nucleus for the class that was formed in 1911 by Rev . John Lewis . However , between 1894 and 1911, there were preaching services in the Graham Schoolhouse , held by Evangelical ministers from Durand. In 1900, Methodist ministers from Byron began coming to preach. Preaching services were held every two weeks but now in the half above the Cohoctah Bank building. The Conference now put Cohoctah on the Oak Grove charge with Rev. E .H . Wilcox as Pastor. Rev . Wilcox launched the project of building a church and it was received with enthusiasm . A meeting was called and attended by fully ninety percent of the male population. Eugene Fay, cashier of the focal bank was chosen temporary chairman . Committees were appointed and the proposition gained considerable momentum . On the building committee were : H .G. Ketchum, Edwin Pratt , R.S . Houghton, G.B . Hosley , Hiram Gilland , Phanette Richards, A.J . Peckens and John Wriggles - worth. Shortly after this, work was started on the site given by Mr. and Mrs. John Wriggfesworth . On the 17th of June, 1915, the corner stone of the new Bethel Methodist Evangelical Church of Cohoctah was laid . Present were a large number of people from all parts of the township and neighboring villages to celebrate the occasion . On September 12, 1915 the Ladies Aid Society on the night before the dedication served supper in the basement of the church of which over two hundred people partook . About three hundred dollars was added to the subscription fist that day making the total of thirty-three hundred dollars toward the four thousand necessary to complete the building . The membership of the Bethel Church at this time numbered less than thirty members. There were over forty members enrolled in the Junior Epworth League. 198 Much credit was due the Ladies Aid Society for their untiring efforts in raising funds for the construction of this church building. For a number of years they had been adding little by little to the store in their treasury in the hope that someday they might see a church in Cohoctah . Their labors had not been in vain. Their donation at the time was one thousand dollars. On Sunday morning August 31, 1952, the Bethel Methodist Church burned just as the worship service was starting . The entire community was shocked and saddened at the great loss but very soon plans were under way to rebuild. ft was decided to use the same location. At this time Arlie Brown was chairman of the Board of Trustees. It was through his untiring efforts largely that this building was constructed. He organized the volunteer workers of which he did a great deaf himself along with many others. He was also in charge of solicitation of funds. Everyone contributed very generously to the building fund and many hours of labor were donated and on November 8, 1953 the new much smaller church was dedicated free of debt. Present were Bishop Marshall Reed , Rev. Dr . Moulton, District Superintendent of the Flint District, Rev. Homer Van Buren and Rev . Clyde Moore . Two charter members of the first church were present. They were Mrs . Lucy Ackerman and Mrs. Elizabeth Wriggfesworth . ..

The 'Speaking Telephone' Comes to Howell By Beulah Reader The " speaking telephone " was first used in Howell in 1882 when Charles Brown had a pri vate telephone line strung from his jewelry store in town connecting to the recently - constructed Detroit to Lansing line. Since there were no other phones in the city then, Brown could only make long distance calls . Early the following year , private telephones also were installed in William J . McPherson 's store and residence and in the homes of E .G. and M.J . McPherson . The telephone office was moved from Brown's jewelry store in 1887 into new quarters in Charles Paddock's photograph gallery . However, no new phones were installed in the city until shortly before the turn of the century. In the late 1890's, the Livingston Home Telephone Company brought a crude switchboard to Howell and established a telephone exchange-making service available to the public for the first time . However , the company offered ser vice only to city residents . People living in surrounding rural areas organized their own company- the Livingston County Mutual Telephone Company-in 1903a nd built telephone lines connecting to the switchboard in town. Telephone service in those early years was crude compared to modern standards . Telephone wires were strung haphazardly from tall trees and housetops and customers had to shout to be heard over noise on the line. Late in 1905, the Livingston County Mutual Company consolidated with the Michigan State Telephone Company, which later became Michigan Bell. About five years later , the Livingston Home Telephone Company was purchased by the Inter -State Long Distance Telephone Company. In March of 1913, the companies-serving about 700 telephones-merged and after that the Michigan State 201 J In the early and mid-1920's, the Howell telephone office was located in the McPherson Bank Building . Company was the only telephone company operating in the county. It became Michigan Bell on Jan . 1, 1924. Three years later, Michigan Bell announced plans to build the first building in the city designed specifically for the telephone business . At that time, the telephone office was located in the McPherson Bank Building. The cornerstone for the new building on East Grand River was set in place in July , 1928 by Mayor John Wrigglesworth . The following year , the building was placed in operation and the old fashioned hand-crank type phones were removed from service here. By 1939, there were 1,500 tele"phones in the Howell exchange , but by the end of World War II, the number had increased to 2,600 phones. Extended area ser vice between Howell, Brighton and Pinckne y was inaugurated in 1949 ending toll charges for calls between the three communities . In 1964, Michigan Bell erected a building at 421 E . Grand River and installed new equipment enabling Howell customers to dial their own local and long distance calls for the first time. That same year , Touch-Tone service became available here and Municipal Judge W.H. Erwin had the first Touch-Tone phone in the city installed in his office. Today there are about 14,700 telephones in Howell. At the time of the cut-over from switchboard to dial , I was employed on the switchboard , and wrote a poem for the occasion, as follows: The Cut-Over Blues 'Twas the nite of the Cutover When all thru the room A silence descended , it was akin to gloom 202 Mrs. Allen softly crying , with head on her desk Poor Della was sighing, she was doing her best To keep system and order going that nite But signals were flashing , it sure was a sight When out on the floor, there rose such a clatter This is how the Howell central office looked in the early 1940's.

This was at the completion of the cut-over from the old Bell and Home systems in Howell into what is now Michigan Bell. The only person I can name in the group is my father, Otto Frykman, who assisted in this project. He is 5th from the right, wearing dark coat, derby hat and his customary cigar in his mouth. Doris Frykman Mrs. Allen called out "Say , what's the matter? When what before her wondering eyes should appear Eighteen tiny elves , they looked so queer On each of their heads was a tiny head-set.

Canadian Founds Bakery in Howell In 1903 George Dickson Sr . moved from Mt . Forest Canada to Howell. He had been in the Bakery business there for JO years , taking it over when his father Peter Dickson died . Peter as a young man, worked as a bonded apprentice in Edinburgh, Scotland . His father who was a miller, boarded and clothed him . When his 5 years were up, his boss gave him a bandana handkerchief and a pair of wooden shoes for being a good apprentice . After coming to Howell , George bought out Myers Brothers Bakery and rented the building for three years . In 1906 he bought the store in the middle of the block from A.J . Prindle on a contract for $3,500,!)0-. He put in a soda fountain, served light lunches along with the bakery products . Bread was 10 cents, cookies and fried cakes 10 cents per dozen . A good baker received $12.00 per week and a helper $6.00 per week. George Dickson passed away in 1915 and his son Alva went into partnership with his mother Rachel . In 1918 there was a bad fire and the shop was remodeled. Only bakery products were sold after that 204 and bread was shipped to all the surrounding towns, some 25 in number . They served the grocery stores and restaurants in Howell . Rachel Dickson passed away in 1920 and Alva Dickson became sole owner of the bakery where he had worked from the age of 13. In 1921 he married Lillian Buhl of Gregory and they had two children, Stanley and Floris . Both worked in the shop . In 1949 Stanley bought half interest in the business after having served three and a half years in the Army and completing school at Michigan State College . Floris married Robert Andrews and both worked in the bakery, where Floris did most of the decorating . Another fire in 1946 causing around $20,000 damage made it necessary to remodel the whole building . It was completed in 1951 but Stanley was called back into the service at this time . He married Kathryn Morgan of Howell before leaving and she followed him to Germany where he was stationed . Stanley sold the business in 1968, closing 65 years of a Dickson Bakery in Howell.

Dirty Side of War told in Letters Ho01e (Editor's note: This is the 10th in a 15-part series on Michigan's role in the Civil War. It was written especially for the Associated Press and The Ann Arbor News by Dr. Philip Mason, archivist of Wayne State University. In this installment, Dr. Mason views the conflict through the eyes of a Howell, Mich. captain who found the battle area unglamorous.) By Dr. Philip Mason Gus Smith was 32 when he enlisted as first lieutenant in the 22nd Michigan Infantry in July, 1862. The newly organized regiment was recruited from the counties of Oakland, Livingston, Macomb, St. Clair, Lapeer and Sanilac, which in 1862 consisted mostly of small farming communities. Moses Wisner, a former governor of the state, was appointed colonel of the regiment and directed the two weeks' training in Pontiac . On Sept. 4, after receiving a flag from the ladies of Pontiac in a colorful public ceremony, the regiment left for front line duty in Kentucky. The activities of the regiment are described in a series of 10 letters which Gus Smith wrote to his parents living on a farm near Howell between September, 1862, and May, 1863. Army censorship was not practiced in the Civil War and, hence, the letters show the grim, as well as the humorous, side of army life. They reveal a picture of soldiering that is not usually reflected in the romanticized, sentimental versions of the rebellion now popular on television and in magazines. Smith's first letter to his parents, sent from Covington, Ky., on Sept. 22, 1862, indicated that he was finding Army life a challenge . " Here we are in the darndest dirty hole in the whole world. It is very dry and dusty here. We have to lay on the ground in the open air . We are bothered almost to death for water to drink , say nothing of washing ourselves and clothes . Haven't changed my shirt since I left Pontiac and don't know when I can , as our baggage is 15 miles from here . We are the dirtyest set you ever saw . We have to drink water out of a common duck pond. It looks green when we dip it up. If we don't all get sick it will be a wonder. " A week later, he wrote elatedly , " I had a treat tonight in the way of a good wash and a clean shirt , the first I have had since I left Michigan ." Officers of the 22nd Michigan Infantry, photographed some time after Capt . Smith's death . 206 Capt . Gus Smith, the Howell farmer who found war was not the least bit glamorous. As the war dragged on, and as Union casualties increased by the thousands, without the promised Union victories , there was some public opposition to continuation of the war . Gus Smith must have heard about it, for on March 12, 1863, he wrote to his parents and sisters : " Wish I could be home just long enough to shoot about a dozen of those cursed traitors that infest Livingston county . Damn 'em if it was not for such Union men as they are, this bloody war would soon end, but just so long as such men are allowed to talk and act, treason only and boldly among you there at home, as they do, there is in my humble opinion, no prospect of a speedy termination. '' At best, be united, be a unit, and pull together, and we will whip them into subjection in short order, but place an army, ' \ Army kitchen: Army food in the Civil War was universally disliked by soldiers. The condition of this typical Army kitchen helps explain why . (AP Photofax) as we are placed, with a fire in front, and great deal worse on in the rear, it is uphill business, and pretty sandy at that I reckon." Lt. Smith's letters reveal also that he thought often about his home and his parents. "Well, Mother, how are you all tonight? Wish I could drop in and see you this eve. Should like to eat breakfast with you tomorrow morning . Our living is pretty tough, some of the time, but I get along with it as well as any of the rest. We had hard bread and coffee without sugar for supper tonight. Should have made a fuss about if it I had been at home. But as it was, I had to eat it, and make the best of it. "Father, take care of what few traps I have, in case I do not return. My Saginaw property you can dispose of as you think best. You will find a good pair of buck gloves in my trunk, take and use them. Have you done your threshing yet? If so, how does the wheat turn out? How much are you going to sow this fall? Who have you got to help you? Tell me all the news about everybody ... " In the spring of 1863, Smith, now a captain, again addressed his father: "Wish I could be there to help you, but I cannot. And then I can help you almost as much here as I could there . I like the business very much, and have been tolerably successful so far, I think . I think I may well be proud. It has been a great school for me. I have already been amply rewarded, and I believe, I am thought something of here . And it is gratifying to me to know, that the position I hold, I have fairly won. Nothing would tempt me to exchange places with any of my old croneys or associates. I am about as far ahead as any of them. " This was the last of the letters his parents preserved and possibly the last one he ever wrote to them. On Oct. 11, 1863, Capt. Augustus Smith died of wounds received in action in the battle of Chickamauga. He was buried in the National Cemetery in Chattanooga , Tenn. Thus, he joined thousands of his comrades who gave their lives to preserve the Union. Ann Arbor News, Feb. 3, 1961 111I iIl ll,11.1._ 1 ,.: 207 Diaries of Elisha W. Grant Editor's note: Mary A. Grant, 1444 Engel Road, Lawrence, Kan. discovered some family memorabilia and offered it to the Livingston County Historical Society. The family has always been proud of their relationship to Ulysses S. Grant. Among the items handed down from one generation to the next is the original land assignment (1838) signed by President Martin Van Buren to Philip Coon for the property in Conway Township that eventually belonged to the Grant family. Elisha W. Grant was Mary Grant's grandfather and this is his story . Compiled By A. J. Marvin Elisha Wilcox Grant was a handsome man . In his picture he looks like the kind of man who could carry his own weight in this wilderness he had moved to with his family . While new settlers had no problem with the Indians , living with the elements, just existing, was a challenge. Grant was just a lad when the family came to Livingston County. He writes of their arrival and settlement in Conway. Early in February 1838,W arren G. Grant, the father of the writer, exchanged his farm in the town of Livonia, Wayne Co., Mich. where he had resided for eight years previous coming from Massachusetts in 1830, for lands in Livingston owned at that time by Rufus Brach . Soon after making the . exchange he made a journey to Conway or as it was then called Howell (sic), it being attached to that town. He traveled by stage to what was then called Livingston Centre . The stage was operated by Allen Weston at that time . There being no public conveyance west of Howell, he footed it to John R. Fowler in the next town west, who went up and showed him his land. The next day the two Fowlers, John and Ralph, Harvey Metcalf, Les Nutt, Elijah Gaston, John Bush and Calvin Handy, comprising most of the male citizens of what is now known as the town of Handy, with an ox team and sled on which was put some marsh hay and the necessary provisions for the men (they went up to the new place to make a home for another new settler. ) Soon all hands were at work and before night the logs were cut and hauled . A shanty 16 by 20 raised ready for the roof which he hired Mr. Gaston to put on for a few dollars in WILD CAT money. The roof was made of basswood logs split in halves and then hollowed out with an axe the entire length . The first tier was laid close together with the bark side down. The second tier covered the joints of the first tier by being placed bark side up, thus disposing entirely with beams, rafters, roof boards , shingles or nails , still making a waterproof roof. According to the contract with Mr. Gaston about three feet was left open across the entire end for the chimney when it would be built and for the passage of smoke until that time . Having accomplished this much, he returned to Wayne County and made preparations to move the family into their new home. Having purchased a pair of half broke steers four years old and a light cart into which was loaded a sugar kettle and grindstone and a few smaller articles, with two horse teams to carry the family, household good and provisions, about the second week in April we started for Livingston County. The third day we arrived at Elijah Gaston's, paid off our teamsters who stayed until the next morning and after wishing us all manner of success in our new undertaking, left for home. The same morning we hitched up the steers and a few things packed into the cart and driving the two cows, the 208 male members of the family went up to the new shanty which we found after traveling four miles. We were without doors, floors, windows or even chinking. After driving our stock to pasture which was a small swamp some 30 rods west of the shanty in which the wild grass had started and was six or eight inches in height. We then commenced chinking, cut down some Basswood trees, cut them in lengths of six or seven feet then split them into four slabs and laid them down for a floor in the corners of the shanty, making room for two beds. We made a door and a cupboard from one of the boxes in which some of the goods were packed . The door was hung on wooden hinges with wooden latch and a dozen nails were all that was required in its construction . An opening was made for one small six-lighted window which with the opening in the roof furnished the necessary light. The tall oaks were waving their tops directly over this cabin and could be plainly seen through the opening in the roof, through which the stars looked down the first night after our arrival. The next day a yard was built of poles in which to keep our stock nights. Trees were felled that stood near the shanty and that were considered dangerous. The balance of the floor was laid, a few stones were gathered and a chimney commenced which was not finished until the logs had burned nearly half way through by the fire used in cooking. This shanty was built near the centre of the east half of the northwest quarter of Section 33, on the old trail road which had been cut through some two years previous by the Ingersolls of Farmington who were at that time making a settlement at a place called Grand River City (now Delta ), some seven miles below where the city of Lansing is located . At this place on the 14th day of April, 1838, we were four miles from the nearest neighbor on the east and 21 on the west (there being a small settlement at Pine Lake). The nearest postoffice was at the centre of Howell, 13 miles distant after we had been seven weeks in the township, one afternoon a woman on horseback made her appearance , it being near sunset . She was urging her horse at a rapid gait, did not stop at our place but soon passed out of sight and hearing , leaving us to wonder who she could be, where she came from and whither bound. The next day she returned and the whole matter was soon explained . Her name was McIntosh and she lived in the town of Iosco some 12 miles from us and was in search of some friends who lived some six or seven miles to the northwest of us where she arrived after dark but was escorted the last part of her journey by a howling pack of hungry wolves. The first school that I attended was taught by Michael Handy in a log house on the northeast corner of Section 11 in the township of Handy distant from our place four miles, three of which was through the woods with nothing but blazed trees for a guide-going and returning on foot-leaving home as soon as daylight and returning after dark-after attending a few days, the school was closed on account of sickness of the teacher and was not reopened that winter. Grant was married to Jane Hitchcock of Ingham County on Feb. 24, 1847,b y the Justice of the Peace for Ingham County, David Phelps.They became active members of the community ; Elisha bought 40 acres of land from his parents for $200. Through purchases and land being left to him, he accumulated considerable properties ; and he was elected county clerk for Livingston County in November of 1860. While the war dragged on, Grant's name was called for 210 THE UNITED ST CERTIFICA~E N°3/.J-'lf; / ??, !;l'o all lo uilunn l"lwse Pr WHEREAS /) ilt r ~,tf-t! n <y /i fr2J' 1 , , ·;;. , , , 1 j . ha / '·/· deposited in the GENER.llL L.llND OFFICE of the (I:!~~fa~e)" Serl)fi<ye of the whereby it appears that full payment has been made by the said ,/ //t I I~ l l,/ . {( r'-t! 1 I acc,o/r,d ing. to/ th)e p r.o/v.is ions o./f t'h e .!let of Congress of the I24 th .o/f ) -./fl p-ril-, I.s 'e.n tilltd ".lln acl ;~> J ;' ·. /t _rrJ,- /( f'U. / /j/ '';:f :r" . / /I !(~ 1c( / ( 11':/ /7n U ( ( (' 0.6: l z,v Ur, L !JJ u-h 1 C// ;L ('E 4 I c/4' SV,',: - { ,1,,9 / (J':1./' c · c>cu •,,;.,,_ ______________ ---1 :μeco4to tltfojfic~~l of the survey of the said Lands, returned to the General La e % (y>.f ,:JN , 1 . ---------------------11 l!NITED ST.II.TES OP .II.Jr:CEBIC.11i.n, consideration of the t~ /~n.i n d:'!11'.trity wi and by they 1 presents DO GIVE AND GRANT, unto the said./ / ,;:!'f t~ {~ ,,, 1, . _a m1t o. /.

Grant , formerly Jane Hitchcock. He was also a private in the United States Army, enlisting with the Fifth Regiment of Michigan Infantry . During its organization, the Fifth Regiment was at Ft. Wayne, Detroit. The Regiment spent its days in drill and discipline since it was believed it would not be put in service after the Bull Run disaster . When it became apparent that more men would be needed, the organization of the Fifth was hurried along to completion. Livingston County was represented in the Fifth Regiment by one company known as the Livingston Company and designated as "I " Company, mustered under Captain John Gilluly. The Fifth broke camp and left Detroit for the national capitol on Wednesday, Sept. 11, 1861. The arrived in Washington on Sunday morning and by night had their orders to march . From that date they joined other regiments in many battles , losing their commanding officer, in one particularly disasterous battle . Lieutentant-Colonel John Gilluly, the original captain of Company I, fell mortally wounded while cheering his men on. Letters written by Hitchcock to his sister (Mrs. Grant ), describe some of the incidents that occured during his service time and give an account of his illness. Apparently Mr. Grant forwarded the letters to another sister but the name was not mentioned. Dear Sister: I now sit down to write a few lines to you. We are all well. I am now nearly over my hoarsness for the first time since I left your house. We received two letters from Milton yesterday, it being just one month since we received one last from him. We some expect Eleda home tomorrow . I will keep the letter for her to read and send their supply to you. Here is the first. Camp Michigan-January 2 Dear Sister: I take this opportunity to write a few lines to you. Received yours of the 19th in due time and I will endeavor to answer it as well as I can . I am glad to hear you are all well and to hear that the money that I sent is safe . I don't want mother to keep any of the money for me but use it for her own comfort. We have mustered for pay again and I hope that I can send some more money home in a short time . It appears by what you wrote that James Coal and some others sit down and cry but that is not what I enlisted for. I came here to fight and not to cry . I am glad that George Hogt is getting better . I should think that it would be interesting to you to hear him tell about camp life but if I live to get home I think that I can tell more than he can . I shall probably have some stories to tell that will interest you all. I am not very well at present. I have a bad cold which I have had for some time. Yesterday was the pleasantest New Year Day that I ever saw ; it was as warm as the Fourth of July in Michigan but it was not very pleasant for our first Lieutenant for he was on picket and went out scouting with 15 Infantry and a few Cavalry . When they got near Fawls Church they were fired on by concealed rebels who were only 20 feet from them . One ball struck him at the corner of the mouth , laid his cheek open and passed through a position of his neck through coat and vest collar . His hat was shot off his head . He was stunned for a moment but as soon as he got his senses , turned his horse for camp . When he arrived here some of our boys did not know him he was so bloody. He offered $100f or his hat. There must be some holes in it I think. I understand that we had only two men wounded. The other was Calvin Mann. He was wounded in the leg. We killed two rebels and one horse. I have no more to write at present. Write often. From your brother. Camp Michigan Jan. 6, 1862 Milton Hitchcock. Once more I am sick. I was taken with a severe cold and for nearly two weeks I have not been able to do anything but be in my tent. What it will amount to I do not know but it is rather tough to be sick as much as I am. The boys advise me to apply for my discharge which I shall do as quick as possible and I have no doubt but what it will be made out soon for I shall never be able to do much here. The Fifth Regiment goes on picket today but I have to lie on my bed and take up with that and wish that I could go with them but that is all the good it does, but Stephen (not identified) is here so I am not very lonesome. You can tell his folks that he is well and as tough as a knot. I expect Stephen will leave here in a short time and probably I shall not see him many times more for his Regiment is going in the heavy Artillery . They will garrison some fort, what one I do not know. You must not worry too much about me, I will write often to you so you can know how I am . Give my best respects to all the neighbors. Stephen sends his respects to all. I must close. Milton Hitchcock NOTE: Pvt. Milton Hitchcock died March 2, 1862. His mother received a certificate in the amount of $126.86 from the Treasury Department. 213 214 r POSTMASTER GENERAL OF TO ALL WHO SHALL SEE Vlill.lllUI~~ &,. d - f"' - day of at __,, (()~ - --- ) in de ~wnty, of on t~ ' of- ..,,4_- , 1 /'f.4 2--, EXECUTE NOW,K NOWY E, fMat, rxm/i4n d e int?euty) at'i.tty) @rul I DO 00:MMISSIOIT HIM A ~il~m£.Z~matu ~o-uzed' to eucfde de 11i£W [;) ®l:f 'IllWlll W~ll'Illllll]) ~'Ill£'Illlll~9 a,,nd de Regulations '!f the Post Office j,Miv~p, a,nd emrP~nenttJ to t~ Mt,m,e ~n?'n?J ~? t,M ;,&al>wotfe t he IN TESTIMONY WHEREOF, J ~ve affxed,a t OfY q?tty) de ------- eiflk 0/ndf oty= ~·/,,,,~ - IC lt LIPP m, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, ESE PRESEN'rs, GREETING: ) 13'.42 ) -~"- #a,,/U-/~k,ve~ wa6 ~~ --~ ),!/late of //£:~a-rt/ - :tMZ4w~ lie cf«/ D, cmd b TH~o ~OFO :F~ ICJl'./'"' r_-..4d '_ku .· '?ofde.ad ~tu-d,,4/~~- - thd officea l - af-ait/, to de rtment: TO HOLD tlfe 1>ado /fce,e f [F@$'ii~O\\$'if[[~,~ d al/ tie jwweM, aster General of the United States. to 6d my, ~nd, and au6MXI the Seal of the Post Office Department ,I/; ----- rlay, of ~/?'~ra~ - ) m tl:e of (}ll/}" ~od one , ,wul of de .Y~ of,~ l7llonite!a/t atet,d e !?"'o//~ U.S. Government appointment of Elisha Wilcox Grant as Postmaster of Conway, 1842. 215 The Old Courthouse Road Commission-19301 The Livingston County Road Commission (late 1930s): William Slavin , Engineer, Harold Chubb, Clerk , Tracy Crandall , Glenn Chubb , John Hagman, Livingston County Clerk, Coe Allen . 216 Board of Supervisors, 1912 Picture of Livingston County Board of Supervisors, 1912.

Physically Handicapped By Marguerite Moore The National Association of the Physically Handicapped, Inc. is an organization of physically handicapped persons and non-handicapped associate members which was formed on May 4, 1958, at Grand Rapids, Michigan and incorporated under the non-profit laws of Michigan. The scope of the organization is to do all things necessary and within our abilities to improve the social, economic and physical welfare of all the physically handicapped . Our National Education and Research Committee collects and studies data and information of special concern to the physically handicapped and keeps our members and other handicapped informed in these matters . N.A.P .H. proposes and supports legislation to provide more educational and rehabilitation opportunities, tax relief, employment and other benefits for the physically handicapped. Our Livingston County chapter is the first one in our county. We have members from Mental Health, L.A.R,C.. Work Skills in Brighton, Social Services , Rehabilitation in Howell and Hillcrest Center. Our officers are: Marguerite Moore, Hamburg; Ruby Dombroski, Hamburg ; Dorothy Hampton, Howell and Michael Hasti, Howell. County Red Cross The Livingston County Chapter of the American Red Cross was organized April 16, 1917. The officers were Mrs. D.W. VanWinkle chairman , Miss Frances I. Huntington secretary , 228 and Mrs. A.L. Smith Treasurer. They retired Jan . 20, 1940 to be succeeded by Mrs. O.F. Merithew chairman , Mrs. J . Needham vice chairman and sewing chairman , Mrs. Louis Hadley secretary , and Mrs. Don W. VanWinkle treasurer. Succeeding chairmen were Mrs. J .S. Page , Rev. Ralph Karney , Mrs. Geo. Sargison, Miss Josephine Grostic from 1951 to 1967, followed by Chas Sutton, Al Latson , and Milton Conine. Prior to the states ' entry into the second World War all shipments of cloth were made to Jas Needham residence . Later the City of Howell donated the area now used by the present police force as sewing headquarters. Mrs. Harry Huntington headed up the knitting program from her home on Walnut Street. Any garment not passing inspection was corrected and packed for shipment. Guy Knoop donated all day services to and from the train depot of shipments of cloth and yarn. Reflections worth mentioning here-shipping containers were non-existent. John MacDonald supplied rough boxes that were cut to the proper shipping size. Mrs. Russell Smith had the only sewing machine equipped with a buttonholer in our area . She made all the buttonholes. Mr. and Mrs. Bert Pate purchased and packed all articles needed for the ditty bags for that period of production . Services to the Armed Forces is the only recognized official contact between the service men and their families and any branch of our National Armed services . Mrs. Merithew headed this department for many years. Mayor Heller proclaimed Oct. 5, 1965 as "Ollie Merithew Day " in recognition for her years of devotion. This work has since been ably filled by Mrs. Portia Bartz , as many families in Livingston County will attest. Paul Bennett as Water Safety and Life Saving Chairman spent many hours teaching youngsters to swim at the local beach in summer classes . In 1950, Howell became a Unit of the Lansing Regional Blood Center with Helen Bauer serving as chairman continuously until her retirement in 1973. March 1958 the Volunteer Gray Ladies of the American Red Cross was organized to aid in the work at the local hospital. Miss Josephine Grostic as chairman has served continuously and four of the original ladies are still active . They are Mrs . Calvin Gatesman , Mrs. Ruth Bennett, Mrs. Duane Myer and Mrs . Arthur Willard. Since 1960 Mrs . Lester Rider has been First Aid chairman when she inherited the office from Mrs. Ruth Willimer . She is responsible for the instructors who teach first aid to the general public and assists the instructors in organizing classes . This is an efficiently run organization that works quietly in its own area of influence. C.Needham Howell Masons By Glenn A. O'Loane Royal-Arch Masons, Livingston Chapter No. 30 On April 13, 1863, nine Companions from the Howell area petitioned Grand Chapter for a charter, which was issued to Livingston Chapter No. 30 on January 12, 1864 authorizing them to exalt Companions to the Royal Arch Degree . We have no elected Grand Officer from this Chapter . We so have one appointed Grand Officer, Right Excellent Companion Rev. Henry L. Reinewald, who is now Grand Chaplin. We do have members who have served as Grand Committeemen and other appointed offices. This Chapter has served well in York Rite Masonry and in the social life of its members . The Excellent High Priest is William D. Boffa. York Rite Masonry The York Rite in Masonry is composed of the Royal Arch Masons, the Royal and Select Masters and the Knights Templar . Membership in the lower degree is necessary to advance and maintain membership in the higher degree, except in Michigan , membership in the Royal and Select Masters is not a requisite for the Knights Templar . Membership in the Mystic Shrine may be petitioned after membership in the Knights Templar . The York Rite bodies are purposely located in large and small communities so that a Mason may advance his knowledge among his neighbors . Each member may at his option, participate in the work. He may and is encouraged to hold office and to advance to the presiding office, even to the Grand body as some of our members have done. Royal and Select Masters, Livingston Council No. 73 The first assembly of this Council was held on April 12, 1906, under dispensation from the Most Illustrious Grand Master , Bayard A. Church . The present memership · is 61, of which ten are Life Members. This Council is small in size but large in heart to keep it operating as a Masonic body should. The Cryptic degrees have many important lessons and are quite impressive . They bridge a gap between the Master Mason Degree and those of the Capitular degrees and complete a Mason's Masonic History. Keith W. Seales is the present Thrice-Illustrious Master . Order of DeMolay , Livingston County Chapter The first meeting to start the institution of this Chapter was held on Sunday, February 26, 1956 at the Howell Masonic Temple . It was attended by the Worshipful Masters and Board members of the four County Lodges. Contributions of $40.00 from each Lodge and from Masons made a total of $205.50 and an Altar Bible from Charlie Hill completed the necessary finances and furniture to start . This chapter has an outstanding record of honors granted. The Degree of Chevalier is an honor granted by the International Supreme Council for outstanding performance in behalf of the Order of DeMolay. It is the highest award granted an active DeMolay. The following members received it: Chester Cramer , Ron Emerson , Gary Henry , Darwin Liverance, Rodney Lovas, David Rossiter, Lawrence Van Slambrook, Charles Crane , Robert Hall. Tim Kiser , Andre Lovas, Stephen Lovas , Donald Trumbull , Richard Crofoot, Bruce Henry , Rick Leitz , Bela Lovas , Duane Phillips, Jerry Van Slambrook. 229 The square's the thing for nimble footed Howell Square Dancers who keep the beat to the calling of Mary Merrow . Dancers are Carl Peterson and Alida Loring, Ken Loring and Marie Emerson, Gerry Spare and Lorring Emerson and Mary Peterson and Roy Spare. Howell Square Dance Club By Mary Merrow The Howell Square Dance Club of Howell originated in the spring of 1945, during the time of World War II, and was active through the spring of 1970. Don and Helen Knapp offered the use of their building (the building was located on W. Grand River which is now Swan's Store) and the Hildred Harts offered their services as well as the use of their record player and records . The first group consisted of approximately 25 couples invited by the Knapps and Harts. Parties were held at irregular intervals. Couples volunteered to act as hosts and hostesses and refreshments were served . After several open parties, many requests to join were received and as a result the building was outgrown so a move to the Masonic Hall. There were several moves, during the years, and finally the Southwest School became the regular meeting place . Don and Helen Knapp left Howell in May of 1946a nd at that time a farewell party was held at the home of the Russell Smith's. At this meeting the members present decided to form a club and Lyle Wessenger was elected President: Dorothy Willis was elected Secretary-Treasurer . The Charter members were: The John Barrs , Paul Bennetts, Joe Bradys , William Brandts , Tyler Brogans , Noel Burnhams , Maurice Coles', Wilbur Davis ', Kennedy Davis ', Claude Devereauxs, Tom Devereauxs , Clarence Earls, Lyman Fays , Calvin Gatesmans, Tom Goldens, Hildred Harts, Bird Rights, Wilson Howletts, Fred Jappingas, Seiber Karnes, Don Knapps, Gerald McCloskeys, Robert McPhersons, Robert MacDonalds, Ned Millis', Leslie Merritts, Byron Rogers, Sam Ross', Ray Salmons, Art Smiths, Russell Smiths , Keen Stollsteimers , Harry Waldrons , Loron Willis', and Lyle Wessengers. Many things were solved at the organizational meeting of the Howell Square Dance Club held at the home of Loron and Dorothy Willis in May of 1946. Here it was decided that the membership was to be limited to 40 couples and that the active membership would pass on other couples to be admitted . Prospective members had to attend at least three parties before they became eligible for a vote to member- 230 ship. The dues were $1.00 per couple per month. Hildred Hart and Wilbur Davis were the original callers and for their services they were not required to pay dues . A little later in 1946, Mr. and Mrs . Riby Holmes were invited to become members and Mr. Holmes assumed some of the responsibility of calling. Very shortly after the official organization a committee was appointed to provide a constitution . Originally the club met the first and third Saturdays of each month-later this was changed to the second and fourth Saturdays . In Septemer of 1947, the first dinner dance party was held at Waldenwoods with 65 members and guests present. These annual parties were held for many years usually in the spring at the close of the square dance season . Early during the existence of the club, dances were held at an early hour of the same meeting date for the purpose of teaching square dancing to the children of the members . This continued for many years. Through the years, the membership changed , but always maintained a fine, fun-loving group of people. The Hildred Harts moved away from Howell and Riby Holmes became involved in square dancing activities in Fowlerville-this left Wilbur Davis as the Caller until 1964 when he moved with his family to another area . At that time "yours truly " became Caller and then Glen Eastman followed. In 1961, Paul Bennett, who was Recreation Director, through the City of Howell Recreation Department, sponsored the first Square Dance Festival for Howell and surrounding nearby areas . Several visiting Callers participated. The Festivals were very well attended and created much interest in square dancing; they became annual events for five years . Howell Square Dance Club membership was maintained through classes which were held under the direction of the Recreation Department and the membership grew-then as all good things must end-this Club as a result of many outside interests terminated at the end of the dancing season in 1970. It lived 25 years and many good things resulted from the Club, always there was good clean fun, wonderful fellowship and very fine friendships! Angela Skorski Dance Studio Angela Skorski from Redford, Michigan conducted a dance studio, first at Brighton and then at Howell for 15 to 20 years. From her first sessions to her last, she often taught two generations of students; the children of students she taught in her first years at Howell were taught in her later years. It was quite a problem to get all the students into a recital because seventy-five or more were presented in one program. Her first assistant teacher was Roberta Nakielski and the second assistant was Jeanette Lebioda. Mrs. Skorski did pageant arrangements in Dearborn and Livonia . She also did the choreography for the Flint Festival and also for the 1963 Howell Centennial program . Several of her students became dance teachers themselves. She coached the 4-H quartette of ballet dancers who won the Michigan State 4-H Talent Contest at Michigan State University in 1959. They were all Howell girls : Kathy White, Susan Schott, Ardenne Rohrabacher and Donna Simmons. 231 Young At Heart scene at the annual St. Joseph summer fa ir, 1950. 232 The Young At Heart group meets in Mildred and Paul Bennett's back yard .

Zemper Thirty years in Howell and some of the people I've known. I am not a native of Howell, having been born in Bay City and raised in Flint, but all my adult life has been spent here , and this I claim as my town. I was born in the upstairs bedroom of an aunt's house on a cold snowy November day and they couldn't get the window closed. My mother used to tell me of the snow on the foot of the bed when I came into the world. I grew up in Flint in what would now be called slum areas , but we didn't call them that because we didn't know the difference, but I always felt if I could ever work my way through college I'd never come back to a large town. I did for a while, as a metallurgical engineer at the start of the war , but since then have been a resident of Howell. Imagine , if you can, the changes that have taken place in the past fifty years - Transportation-from train for long trips and horse and buggy for short trips , to automobile and commercial airlines . From a two day trip to Detroit and back to a trip to Europe in seven hours, and men going to the moon in 2½ days. People living in mobile homes and high rise apartments, and driving in their leisure time to vacation spots in travelling homes on the great new expressways, all paved and three lanes wide each way. The phase-out of railroads to carry freight to the use of large semi-trucks to carry almost all of our cargo . Home-From large wood burning kitchen stoves to small gas and electric ranges and now starting the use of microwave ovens that cook an entire meal in a few seconds. From the iceman who saw your card in the window telling him how much ice you needed, to refrigerators and freezers to hold your frozen fruits and vegetables all winter. From kerosene lamps to some all electric homes including heat and light. From wood and coal burning space heaters in the living room to the newest heat pumps to heat the house in cold weather and cool the house in the summer . From boiling the clothes to wash them to automatic washing machines and dryers . Schools-When I first came to Howell, all of the children in the rural areas went to a one room country school through the eighth grade, and if they went further they came to town for high school which held all grades for the city kids. Now we have five elementary schools and two Intermediate schools plus the new high school. Business-The old village general stores which sold most everything , have given way to specialized businesses which sell only one type of material. The neighborhood grocery stores are all gone, replaced by large air conditioned supermarkets and shopping centers . Work- In the old days people worked twelve hours a day from 6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. and six days a week. On Sunday they went to church in the morning and had all Sunday afternoon with nothing to do. Now most people work forty hours a week and have late afternoons and two day weekends of leisure time. And the trend is to 30 or 36 hour work weeks in the near future . Pleasure-With all the leisure time, we have changed our lives considerably . In the older days, fishing, frog hunting, or a group auto trip on a Sunday afternoon. They travelled in 236 groups or clubs to help each other out of the ditches or to change flat tires , to weekend trips for golfing, skiing or going for trips with their snowmobiles. Many people take one or two week vacations to Europe or other parts of the world. These things could not even have been dreamed of by people fifty years ago when it took two weeks just to get overseas by steamship . The coming of radio and in the last twenty-five years the part of television in our homes has changed our lives to the point where most people would never want to go back to the "good old days. " Most of these changes have come about during my life in Howell, but more important to me, are the people I have known in this little town. I decided to spend my life here, not just because my wife, Tillie, had grown up here but also because I had been on college track teams that travelled all over the country running in large meets . Whenever we travelled west to Milwaukee or Chicago or even to Nebraska for National Championship meets , we always travelled by car in those days , the coach would call ahead and we would stop on our way home at a little restaurant in Howell called the Family Restaurant. The owner at that time was Fred Cronenwett. He is gone now as is Howard Gentry who owned it later , but it is still handled by his son Bob Gentry . Fred would keep the place open till we got there and have steaks ready that hung over a twelve inch plate. It was wonderful, but I was always impressed with the trees that lined Grand River and all the other streets . I always felt that this was the town I would like to live in. It's hard to beat a beautiful town and friendly people. People I have known in Howell-Looking back over the last thirty years , I have many memories of many people. There is no way I could mention them all, but some stand out in my mind for things they did or stories they told when they would sit with me in my studio and talk . Some were doctors or professional people, some were just ordinary guys, many are gone now but I've loved them all and cherish the memories . First of all should be Willie Wright, one of the few colored people we've had in town. We're supposed to call them black people now, but no matter , he was a great guy. Born in Alabama he came to Howell in the 30's and made his living cleaning business places and washing windows. Willie was one of my favorite subjects, a very religious man, I could get almost any expression I needed by quoting something from the Bible. The most famous picture I took of Willie was in 1966w hich was chosen as the top portrait print in the U.S. and was on the cover of the photographers national magazine . J made a large pictue of it framed it and took it over to his house one afternoon. He cried and offered me a glass of his homemade beer. The beer was terrible but we had a nice talk . Another picture of Willie was rated best in Michigan and I had it in the studio window. Coming back from a commercial job I found him washing the windows and looking at his picture inside. I took a shot of that which was on the cover of our state magazine. Willie was a great guy and before he died at 96, Francis Barron organized a large party for him at the Elks Lodge at $10.00 a ticket. He had a wonderful time with teiegrams from the governor and senators everywhere. Fred Server had a beard all the time I knew him, long before the young people with their long hair and beards of Judge Henry Harmon Henry H. Harmon (1823-1884), younger brother of Amarilla A . Harmon, was born in Manchester, Ontario County, New York and came to Michigan with his parents . He lived in Novi until 1847 when he came to Howell to teach the winter term in the Howell High School. He commenced reading law in the office of Lewis H . Hewett and was admitted to the Bar of Michigan in 1849. He was a law partner of Dennis Shields, father of Edward and Frank Shields, who were also lawyers in Howell some years later . Henry Harmon was Circuit Court Commissioner in 1852, Prosecuting Attorney in 1854 and Judge of Probate in 1864, practicing law for thirty-five years. He was a member of Howell Lodge No. F and AM, Worshipful Master in 1854-1855, a Charter member of the Livingston Chapter No . JO, of the Royal Arch Mason on April 16, 1863. He was also a member of Howell Commandery , No. 28, of Knights Templar , which was organized April 7, 1870. The following are a few words said of Judge Henry Harmon by his law partner , Dennis Shields, " From the time I first made his acquaintance down to the time of his death, the most friendly feeling has existed between us. In all of my mingling with men and members of the bar I never met one who so completely filled the measure of a first class lawyer and gentleman as did Judge Harmon . He probably had no superior in the state of Michigan, in the preparation of written cases on briefs where writings were necessary. Judge Cooley paid him the compliment of saying that he presented to the Supreme Court as finely prepared papers as any man that came into court from any part of the state." recent years . This made him unusual along with the fact that he rode a bicycle everywhere, even to Detroit , and he never wore socks. Fred never married , didn' t drink , smoke or swear , but the thing most people remember him for was that he would, on occasion, walk on his hands-uphill the entire block in front of the courthouse or down at the beach. Fred had a homemade house on the lake where the boat landing is now, and everyda y he would take a dip in the lake, winter and summer . In the winter he would chop a hole in the ice and dive in. One day the kids playing hockey on the lake talked him into making two holes, to dive into one and come up the other . He tried it but couldn't find the other hole. The kids were worried and one went for the police. Fred was smart and kept his nose up to the ice for the small air area above the water and was able to breathe . When the police came , they could see the dark area where he was and topped the ice toward the hole so that he could get out. At that point the police put a stop to his winter dipping. I took many pictures of Fred which were hung in national exhibits. He was a great model. Joe Carey-Joe is another great little fellow who never married , didn't smoke, drink or swear . He played the part of "Popeye " on the stage in the waning days of vaudeville . A tiny little fellow with a hippety hop walk, I took a picture of him which hung in many national exhibits . He works summers up here on golf courses , but has a house in Florida where he spends the winter because he loves to fish. While in Florida he goes to elementar y schools and children 's hospitals and puts on his acts for the kids-and never takes a penny for anything . Just one of the real good guys. L.E. (Pat) May M.D. Doctor May, or "Pat May" as ever yone knows him- Wow! I could write a book about him. One of the civic leaders , he organized more things and got more people working than anyone I've ever known. He thought up the idea for a Melon Festival , organized committees , and let them do the work, and- Bingo-we had a Melon Festival. That was in 1959, and we still have a Festival every year . The last few years he got the J .C.'s working on it and they're doing a great job. We could use more men like Pat , someone who has the ideas and gets a lot of other people together to get the job done. I remember , one time many years ago , he was so well liked by many of his patients that they staged a parade in front of his house, complete with floats and all , for his birthday . Brayton Kirk Not many people in town probably remember Bra yton as a young man . Some know him now as a shuffling grey haired man who used to run the projector at the Howell Theater . What most people don't know is that he was a genius with radio and television equipment , was a national member of A.S.C., had a pilot' s license, and a " hard hat " deep sea divers license. His house still is a maze of collections of everything to the point where it's difficult to even walk through . He saves everything. He could have the biggest flea market in Michigan. Willis Lyons I talked of Judge Lyons in the first book, how he was officially dead of Yellow Fever and yet survived , in the Spanish American War. The judge came into the studio about once a month and told stories for an hour or so, for many years . One of his favorite stories was about a woman who lived on orth Michigan Ave. and was the state president of the W.C.T.U. (Womens Christian Temperance Union) who were 237 the backbone behind the prohibition movement . So-when prohibition was going to be in effect the next morning, all eleven bars in Howell had to get rid of all their whiskey. Many , many citizens in town were buying it up for thirty cents a gallon if they brought their own jugs . Willis and a friend gathered up 32 jugs which they filled with water and a little food coloring to make it look like whiskey, and after midnight they placed them all on the front porch of the State President of the W.C.T.U. People driving their buggies down Michigan Ave. to work the next morning , saw the jugs on the porch, but Willis said the outraged state president never knew who put them there. Stan Herriman Stan has been an attorney, a prosecuting attorney and a municipal judge in our little community for many , many years. I like Stan because of his wry humor which is always evident. Years ago he took a small movie camera, which he knew nothing about, and drove to Cohoctah-twelve miles north of town. He took pictures all the way, of cows on fences , pigs with their litters-anything he saw . He called the movie " My Trip to Cohoctah" and showed it to many service clubs etc. adding many anecdotes about the people in the audience to make a hillarious show. I remember him telling me one time that a client of his, Tom Kizer Sr., had asked him to write a dunning letter to someone . Stan wrote the letter , telling the man that T. Kizer was a friend of his, and that if he didn't pay the bill, Tom would not let him swim in his pool anymore. He paid the bill. Dr. Harry Huntington Here is another man that I could write a book about, one of the greatest guys I ever knew. Harry Huntington was a third generation doctor in Howell. His office was in the north west corner of the main four, first door past the old McPherson Bank. Tillie and I were living about a mile west of town, just this side of the present High school with her father Eric Reiner . I used to jog into town for evening appointments and jog back . When Doc's light was on, I often stopped in to chat. In the summer he would be sitting behind his desk with his shirt off, just an undershirt on because of the heat, and he would say , " What would you like? " Then he would go back in the back room and pour a martini into paper cups from his refrigerator full of drugs and medicines and we would sit and talk about what went on during the day . Tillie and I had two sons, Rich and Steve and she wanted a girl , but we didn't think it would happen . Then one day, Tillie was in the old hospital, where McPherson Bank is now and Harry called me and said "Get over there ." I had farther to go, so I got there after him . He was going up the elevator , so I ran up the three flights to the maternity ward and he was coming out of the elevator with his shirt off and ready to work. He asked me if I wanted to come in and help but I said no, I'd just watch through the screen door of the delivery room . In a few minutes he called out- "You wanted a girl-you got one." I said, "You're kidding," and he came through the screen door, spread the baby 's legs apart and said-"Believe me now?" Sherm Jubb Sherm too, was·just a nice little guy who was an insurance man and really liked to fish through the ice at his cottage in the winter . Sherm also liked to spend a few hours every once in a while telling me stories about the olden days . His father owned the building on the northeast corner of Michigan and Sibley which was an implement shop. He told me about the paving of Grand River and many other things, but his 238 The Burhances Guy W. Burhance born 1835, Washtenaw County, and Frances D. Davis, born 1845, Portland Mich., married 1866. Their farm home was just west of Howell. Later they bought a farm at Coral, Mich. They were maternal grandparents of Mrs . Howard Grostic (deceased), Mrs . Carl Harding, and Mrs . Harlow Pless. Old Livingston Submitted for a Community Song by Verian A. Ball of Deerfield Tune, Yankee Doodle. Come sing a song of Livingston, The county of this state sir, Where everything goes nicely on, And always up to date sir. Chorus 0 Livingston, we'er strong for you, Livingston, our county, From your hills to lakes so blue, We reap a gorgeous bounty. We have sixteen townships here, In this grand old creation, And every one has many t'hin.g'i. To give us inspiration. Chorus We have one nice city too, And several smaller towns, sir. They all are growing I'll tell you, And never will go down, sir. Chorus The farmers of old Livingston Breed world's best Holstein (cattle, And with that aim have won their (fame In many a hard-fought battle. Chorus Then let us give a rousing cheer For this grand old creation; For Livingston, our county dear, The best one in the nation. Chorus favorite story was when he was fourteen years old, he and a friend had been watching workers repair a roof with tar . They found they could chew chips of the tar and it became soft like chewing gum. The Presbyterian Church was on Sibley Street at that time, so they pushed the soft tar into the keyholes of the church. That was Saturday night, the next morning the janitor couldn't unloc~ the church doors, and no one could get into the church. The janitor suspected who had done it and called Sherm's dad, and his dad met him with a razor strap behind the barn. Dr. E.A. (Sam) Ross Sam Ross was a dentist in town. A very likeable fellow with an acute sense of humor. When Sam moved south of town on the Pinckney Road, the nice little home he moved into, had an outhouse. He decided against an indoor bathroom and one day with a gathering of many of his closest friends, he laid the cornerstone of his new outhouse-complet~O feet from the kitchen , with the Scottish Ross plaid on the seats, a switch in the house which turned on a heater above the seats and turned on the lights. It had a magazine rack and all the emergency material that a plush outhouse could ever have. It even had a radio outlet with soft music . Sam did many things for this town. He served on the city council, on the school board, and while president of the Rotary Club he started the original bathhouse and swimming area at the lake for all the kids in town. We should mention some of the ladies in Howell. They didn't come in and tell me stories of the old days , but a couple of them come to mind for helping the young people of the l ·t.r..• rser titf~iaets community . First , of course, must be Florence Warner , a High School teacher here for more than fifty years. She was a good teacher, a strict disciplinarian and remembered fondly by all who studied under her. Another I recall was Betty Cook. She liked young people and for years adopted the basketball team and had them over to her house for a snack before every home ball game . Years after when they were grown and had families , one of them noticed that her house looked pretty bad . They all got together one Saturday morning with paint and brushes and painted her house, trimmed the bushes and yard and spruced it up real nice. It was just a "Thank You" for all the nice things Betty Cook had done for them. Speaking of things people do for the town, who could ever compile the many things that Mike Hagman has done for this area. It would take a book in itself to enumerate all of the nice things that Mike has done, and of course there is no way he could have done it all without the constant help of his wonderful wife, Ruby. Many of our former Mayors devoted most of their lives to this Community usually with much sacrafice to their business. Eric Reiner, my wife's father started the Lakeview Cemetery and the rebuilding of the sewage system with the help of the ever-present Karl Welcher . Burt Woodhams, Charles Sutton, and Cliff Heller did so many things for this town that there is no way the town coulq ever repay them . These are some of the things I remember of the thirty years I've spent in Howell. It has been the better part of my life-It has been my life. A share of stock in the Livingston County Fair Association in 1914. By 1947, semi -trucks were beginning to replace the railroads as the big freight haulers . But when a bad snowstorm came in , they had to wait for the roads to be cleared. 240 Mary Brigham, the first woman doctor in the area comes with her cutter to make a house call. Across the street from the old Catholic Church at Fleming and Grand River, Paul Bennett made up a skating rink in front of the old wooden Catholic school. Howell City Council bought this new snow removal machine in 1947. Howell Artists Charles Charles E. Schafer was born in 1914 on a farm near Pinckney in Livingston County. Schafer attended High School in Howell and then Michigan State College. There followed two years of study at the American Academy of Art in Chicago and a year later at the Art 1n stitute of Chicago. Later he studied under Harvey Dunn at the Grand Central Art Galleries in New York City. He returned to Michigan to accept a position with the state as Staff Artist for the Conservation Department in the Education Division where he has remained over 30 years. In 1947 the Conservation Department published his annual drawings "Michigan Wildlife Sketches", now in its eighth edition and still used by all Michigan schools. Schafer is art editor of the state magazine "Michigan Natural Resources" and still resides in Livingston County on a farm near Pinckney. 244 Shirley Radloff Being the wife of heating contractor Clarence H. Radloff and the mother of two active children, Christoper age 13 and Shelly s, should be enough to keep this area artist busy. Granted a scholarship to a private art school, she studied 4 years at the William Pachner School of Art and three at Florida Gulf Coast Art Center in Clearwater, Florida . . . Having studied techniques of renaissance and modern artists alike she is comfortable with both. Winter scape, a dark stormy sky, some endangered species or even a typical midwest landscape. Whatever seems to intrigue and facinate her, captures the stroke of her brush . Having spent the last 14 years restoring the over 100-year-old farm house in which they reside, both Shirley and Clarence enjoy creating art objects from primitive patterns, tin ware, pine furniture or even producing primative wooden toys and dolls for children. When not extremely busy Shirley restores damanged paintings for dealers and ga llerys. I The Davises, Dari, Isabel and daughter Joan moved to Howell from Detroit in 1936 and found it truly "A Good Place to Live." Isabel was a charter member of the Livingston Art Association and exhibited in all of their shows until the spring of 1967 when their choice of a place for retirement became Fairhope, Alabama where Isabel has been active in the Eastern Shore Art Association which has a membership of around 800. She has also participated in the Mobile Outdoor Shows and exhibited extensively. Her oil paintings hang in several states. Among artists with whom she has studied are John Szekes, the nationally famous Cleveland Woodward and Howell's very own noted James Ross. 245 Ella Hagman Ella L. Hagman is a long time resident of Howell. She came here in 1913 to play the piano for the silent movie theatre, then met her husband to be, John A . Hagman and they were married in 1916. John became Livingston County Clerk in 1914 and remained in that position for 48 years. They were the parents of three children, Louise, Pauline and Gerald, all of whom are still residents of Howell. Ella has played piano for a number of organizations over the years. She played for St. John's Episcopal Church for 15 years, for the Eastern Star for 35 years and for some years, she played for the White Shrine. She was also president of the Young at Hearts Club for two years . St. John's Church has been her home church for many years and she has served as President of the Episcopal Church Women and of St. John's Guild as well as heading many projects there over the years . China painting has been her main hobby, altho she did some oil painting and ceramics. She did such beautiful work she could have become a professional. Those people who have samples of her work will treasure them always . 246 Jean Rasegan A local artist, Jean Rasegan, life-time resident of the Howell area, only began to pursue her interest in the arts in recent years. She was born to Adnah and Ina Nicholson in Cohoctah Township in 1922. She attended the Graham Country School and enjoyed pencil sketching as a young girl. Married to George Rasegan in 1940, she raised five children, herself the youngest of five children. She enjoyed informal flower gardening and vegetable gardening, doing home-canning for many years. She sewed for her family, knitted and crocheted. She also assisted her husband in his business. weaving colorful, traditional rag rugs from hand-sewn rags became a pastime when she obtained a large, two-treadle floor loom . Mrs. Rasegan completed her high school education and received her diploma in 1970. The same year she studied painting under Dorothy Gheen, Livingston Arts and Crafts Association member and teacher. With her encouragement, Jean studied painting and lifedrawing at Society of Arts and Crafts in Detroit under Tony Williams in 1971 through 1972. This was followed by a class in painting under Marcy Gross at Oakland Community College and also Guy Palazzola and David Sharp at the Ann Arbor Art Association. Her painting "Winter Oak" was accepted and shown at the Rackham Building in the 51st members' show of the Ann Arbor Art Association. Jean enjoyed painting landscapes primarily, which were done in warm, subdued tones with a delicate touch. She liked to work from photographs she had taken herself in the local area. Mrs . Rasegan participated in Livingston Arts and Crafts functions, displaying her oil-paintings, water-colors, macrame and weaving at Christmas Bazaars, crafts functions and the Outdoor Summer Shows during the Melon Festival. She was the treasurer for that organization from 1973 until 1976 when illness curtailed her activities. She died at home in March, 1976 of cancer . Leland Edward Moffitt was born on October 26, 1904 in Lebanon, Connecticut. He studied at Pratt Institute, under Franklin Schoonover, Frederick Taubs and Wallace Bassford. He lived in Howell from 1962-1968. He was Past President and one of the original members of Livingston County Art and Craft Association. He retired to Cape Cod. He is teaching two classes a week. 247 Dorothy Hampton Walter and Dorothy Hampton, with daughters Janet and Heather, moved to Howell in 1960, when Walter assumed the position of Livingston Intermediate School Superintendent and Dorothy taught at Southwest School. In 1963 the family was in an automobile accident, which left Dorothy with paralysis and in a wheel chair. Four years later, when Lee Moffitt was teaching an oil painting class at the Recreation Center, Dorothy joined the class to become acquainted with the medium . She had done some water-color painting many years before, but had never used oils. Ever since that time she has been painting quite regularly. She paints still-life, floral arrangements and landscapes, and has sold many of her works. Her favorite landscapes depict the natural and rare beauty of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, where both she and Walter were born and raised. Painting on location would please her the most, but as this is usually impossible she resorts to painting from photographs taken by her husband. She especially enjoys trying to capture the true color and fragrance of a bowl of fresh flowers. Dorothy has shown in many art shows and has won several honors for her paintings. She has been a member of the Livingston Arts and Crafts Association, along with her husband, for nearly ten years. 248 "The Table," painted by Jayne Day Williams with thumb and finger. Oil on masonite . 18" by 22" . Portrayed in warm shades of gold, orange and purple . Photography by Ken Weed Jayne Day Williams Jayne Day Williams doesn't paint just because she likes to-she indulges in her favorite art form because she has to. "I get hungry to paint," she says. Her style is romantic realism, with soft or vibrant hues forming a portrait, still life or landscape. Her interest in oil painting started back in high school in a suburb of Cleveland, Ohio. She had an art teacher who was "very encouraging." From there, she went on to Ohio University to obtain her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree . It was there that she developed her realistic style. Her instructors taught her, "The world as it stands is beautiful." After graduating, Jayne spent 1S years using her artistic talents for community activities. She and her husband and daughters moved frequently during that time . Jayne has three daughters. She says they and her husband have been very cooperative and encouraging of her art work. The Williams family came to Howell 17 years ago. "This is our last stop," Jayne notes. She has spent years researching and restoring the buildings on their 20 acres. She has continued with her art education. She spent a year studying water colors at Eastern Michigan University. Then she taught reading to slow learners in Howell for six years. Afterward, she attended the Society of Arts and Crafts in Detroit for two years. "It was marvelous," Jayne says of the experience . She studied life painting (portraiture), which has become her favorite subject . In December of 197S, the artist opened The Wooden Indian, an antique shop in which she also sells her paintings . It ' s located in the carriage house next to her home at 3787 Byron Rd . She has monochromatics, still lites and landscapes on display . Jayne has also shown her work at the Hartland Art Show, the Birmingham Art Fair, the Golden Gallery in Brighton, the Bloomfield-Birmingham Art Association Spring Art Exhibit, the Annual Melon Festival, and the Livingston County Christmas Bazaar. She has been a member of the Livingston County Art~ and Crafts Association for the past eight years, serving as its vice-president for six years. She is also on the Hartland Art Council and in the Bloomfield-Birmingham Art Association. Presently, Jayne is studying with Johanna Haas, a German life painter. She has encouraged the romantic use of color in Jayne's paintings, with more vibrant tones resulting. Jayne believes an artist must put feeling into his work "to really produce a painting." She is grateful for the people and experiences she has encountered, because she feels they have made her more compassionate in her life and her art . "You really have to be able to see beyond the surface," Jayne explains. "I think it's a real challenge to be able to capture the real person, not the shell. I would never paint anyone that I didn't visit with ." Of the future, Jayne says she wants to keep studying. She is eager to spend the rest of her life painting, learning and mastering her technique.

We have four children : three daughters, Ellie Shappirio of Ann Arbor, Mary Ann Smith of Walled Lake, and Nancy Eisele of Kinde; and a son, William, of Howell, who is carrying on the dairy business . We have ten grandchildren: Richard, Fred, and Tim Eisele, Susan and Mark Shappirio, John and Samuel Smith, and Kathleen, Carrie, and Daniel Bamber. I was a 4-H leader and a councilor for Methodist Youth Fellowship for several years . I am a member of the United Methodist Women and Grace Guild Circle of the Oak Grove United Methodist Church, and for the past ten years I have been a member of the Red Cross volunteers , working as a Grey Lady . My wish to try oil painting gave the children a clue for a Christmas gitt in 1967. A complete painting set with art instruction books started me on a new and interesting hobby . With several short courses, study Bozena Granowski Bozena Granowski received her Bachelor of Fine Arts at Michigan State University . She also studied painting in Perugla, Italy. Currently, she is completing her Master of Fine Arts in graphics at the Jagiellonian University in Krakow, Poland . Her works have been exhibited at Student Shows at M.S.U . ; a juried exhibition "Polish American Artists" at The Galerla in Orchard Lake, and "1776 plus 200" art exhibit at the Scarab Club In Detroit. Ms . Granowski's paintings, primarily abstract landscapes, incorporate forms wh ich seem to flow beyond the picture frame, a feeling which is enhanced by carefully selected and harmonious colors. Her paintings are not about color; rather, the color interacts with the forms to set a mood. and practice, I soon learned that landscapes , seascapes , old farm homes and old churches are my favorite subjects . After we retired from farming and settled in our new home on Clyde Road, we did quite a bit of traveling. I took slides of all the interesting places for possible future paintings . To try to reproduce in oils the beauty around us that God has wrought is indeed a great challenge and pleasure . ELVIRA BAMBER 253 \ ) • \ ) Gerald Johnson is a self-taught artist whose works have appeared in most of the major art shows in Michigan since 1972 including the Michigan Focus and Michigan Survey Shows. His work has also been exhibited in various museums throughout the country including the Cranbrook Academy of Art, Bloomfield Hills, Michigan; the San Jose Museum of Art in San Jose, California; and Ball State University Art Gallery in Muncie, Indiana . Reviews of his work have appeared In the "Detroit News," the "Detroit Free Press," and the "Lansing State Journal." Johnson is currently a member of the Willis Gallery located in the Fisher Building in Detroit. His current work shows a childlike ability to strip the chrome and pretense from modern humanity offering the viewer an uncompromising portrait of the cruel passions fueling modern man. Gerald Johnson had all his schooling in Howell, graduating in 1963. 256 I have lived in Howell for the last ten years and I have been painting and printmaking for the last six . I graduated from Howell High School and received a degree in art from Oakland University In 1973. I am pleased to be included in this bicentennial project as a member of the art community, and although as of yet I have no long list of credits or distinguished career about which to boast, I am glad for this recognition. Just a word about the type of work I do ... I find crisp geometric shapes and bold color exciting and occupying as a format . The painting pictured here is one of a series of shaped canvases which give the illusion of a three dimensional geometric object. The image is bold and direct. Illusion strives to become reality. Creativity and personal expression must play an ever increasing role in our society for they are the only ways to combat noninvolvement and anonymity prevalent in our society. We are always so content to let someone else do our thinking and decision making . Our rightto personal expression is one of the freedoms guaranteed by our constitution . Ben Davis Benton Walter Davis-born in Cleveland, Ohio, September 15, 1901, schools, Bob Hope was a couple of years behind me at Fairmount Grammar School. (He was then, of course, Les Hope) . East Tech High School . Then two years at Cornell, finally finishing and graduating AB 1925, LLB 1927 at Western Reserve University. Started engineering , swung to arts, ended up i n law and eight years of practice in Cleveland. Then , following a hobby , the stock market, spent the next 35 years in Wall Street as a broker and writer of my weekly market letter, " Ben Dav is Says ." Wrote my book , "Dow 1000" in 1955 when the Dow was only 400. Letter and book led to many interesting clients, among them Capt . Eddie Rickenbacher , Adolphe Menjou, Bennett Cerf . Between families I lived as a bachelor for eight years in an unbelievable _penthouse atop an old business building, now pre-empted by the Twin Towers of the Port Authority, on the west end of New York's Fulton Street with the most wonderful view of the Hudson, Statue of Liberty, etc ., with only a short walk to my office at One Wall Street , with Mitchell , Hutchins & Co. It was here that I began my avocation in abstract painting . Having done some earlier work with brush and palette and finding it satisfying, I decided to see if Jackson Pollock and others in the new abstract field were not having more fun. 1 found that they were and, out in the sunshine on my penthouse roof garden, I turned out a number of paint ings, mostly on wood or mason - ite and using exotic colors in enamel paints . When I left New York I brought on a number of paintings, having to leave some behind in a Long Island barn . My w ife , Doris Crouse Davis thought I should loan the 4' x6' painting entitled "Blue Monsoon" to the new blue room at the Howell Library where it seems to fit into the color scheme . Now , it may help to remember that abstract painting differs from all other painting in that it is not a copy of something, a face , a land - scape , etc., but it is a creating in itself involving color, line, form and even perhaps an illusion of motion. Truly the only test of abstract art is "Do you like it?" And as for the raccoon coat which seems to be the only one extant in Howell, it is indeed a prize and undoubtedly dates back to about 1920. It became mine around 1955 in New York City at a summer sale of used raccoon coats at Macy's . It has been refurbished a couple of times and was never appreciated more than during this last brutal winter of 1975-1976. Greatly enjoying "retirement" here in Howell at our lovely "Easy Acres."

Paul Bennett for his unselfish service in recreation for the Howell Community. May 24, 1970 was declared Paul Bennett Day. Howell Recreation Center The Howell Recreation Center is a facility for use by the residents, old and young alike, of the City of Howell and adjacent townships , who participate in the recreation program according to the requirements prescribed by the City of Howell Recreation Commission. The program for the facility will be administered by the Recreation Commission and supervised by the Director, Paul Bennett . The Howell Recreation Center is dedicated to the citizens of the Howell area, the people who will use and enjoy it. The heartfelt thanks of the Howell Parks Foundation are extended to all of the many individuals and business firms who contributed financially to make this project a success, and even more to those who not only gave their dollars but gave of their time and talent to make this program possible . On this date, December 12, 1965 it is the distinct pleasure of the Board of Directors and the Building Committee of the Howell Parks Foundation to turn the keys of this fine facility over to the City of Howell and the Recreation Commission. We are confident that these will be the keys to many happy hours for our citizens . 260 A DREAM COME TRUE The Howell Area Recreation Center is truly a dream come true for many citizens of the Howell area . For years , since the city first became involved in recreation affairs, it has been the hope of those involved in the program to have a new facility in which to conduct a diversified recreation program . These people dreamed of some individual or business who would one day give them the money or of the day when tax dollars might be available for this purpose . Such a dream was never to be fulfilled . As we look back , the first glimmer of hope came when a special committee of the Howell Jaycees developed the idea that was to become the Howell Parks Foundation . This committee formed the foundation and carried out several small projects to aid the recreation program. They sought to bring about one large cooperative group which would be dedicated to the development of recreational facilities of all kinds in the city . Having been rebuffed for various reasons on several large projects , the foundation slowly "ran out of gas " and Mildred Bennett making change for some of the regular junior high students at the Friday night get together, first two years of Rec . Center. became quite inactive . Reactivation of the Howell Parks Foundation was crystalized by the Howell Centennial Committee which was in search of a worthwhile cause to which they could donate any funds that m ight be left in their treasury after the celebration . These funds never came, but the crystallization was complete and the foundation hustled into action despite the lack of dollars . Members were added, advice was sought , and activities were increased to develop a fund raising program that would provide the dollars to build a recreation center . After many meetings a steering committee of noted citizens was formed to help guide the project and prov ide adv i ce to the board of directors . After due consideration it was decided that the successful drive for funds could best be achieved by hiring professional help . This was done and a full time director was assigned to the project by the professional firm . His job turned out to be more than a full time job and many volunteers became almost full time workers for the foundation and for the cause . Follow ing the prescribed formula , hundreds of local citizens were asked to participate in the fund raising activities . Most of them responded and the fulfillment of a dream began to take shape for the first time . The Foundation Board , working hand in hand with the City Council and the Recreat ion Commission received suggestions and recommendations from these groups and determined the general plan for the build i ng and other facilities . The site of the McPherson Browning home had been purchased by the city for this very purpose and it was agreed that this would be the ideal site for the center . A goal of $175,000 was set as the figure which would provide adequate funds to do the job right. The hundreds of workers who had volunteered to assist did a magnificent job and dollars began to roll in . Three year pledges represented the bulk of the gifts, many with initial payments in - Although the goal of S17S,OOOh as not yet been reached, the board is still soliciting funds and every week new donations are received . Follow -up committees have contacted many new people in the area and have called back on those who said that they would " wait and see" before they would commit themselves. To date the total amount pledged is nearly $165,000. Any and all donations are still most welcome and will help the Foundation complete the job they intend to do. When it was determined that enough pledges had been made to actually move ahead on the project , a Building Committee was ap - pointed to carry out the final plann ing , design and construction of the building, which had been assigned the top priority in the overall project . The outdoor facilities would come later as payments on pledges came in . Arr iving at the time of groundbreaking was a long , tedious job for the Building Comm ittee. Hundreds of decis ions had to be made and many hours of work with the architect and eventual contractors were necessary before the first brick would be placed. At long last contracts were awarded and ground was broken on April 11, 196S. All during this time money was pouring i n to pay the bills which would soon accumulate . Many progress reports and committee meetings were held to assure all concerned that enough dollars would be available to meet the payment of bills . Letters, phone calls and personal contacts were used to urge people to pay their pledges in full , if possible or to at least keep their payments up to date, if behind . Reasonable success was achieved , construction continued and all bills have been paid to date . Now that the building is completed, several thousand dollars will have to be borrowed to make final payments, but past performance indicates that the loan can be paid off in a reasonable time. 261 eluded. Donations of services, merchandise and equipment swelled the total. The results were most gratifying. Now we have arrived at the dedication of the Howell Recreation Center. No words can express the thanks to those who have given so !11u~~ of their time and talent to make this project possible. Many 1nd1v1~uals have given hundreds of hours of their time while others have given a~ hour or two. It takes all kinds of people to do this kind of a voluntary 10b and certainly the citizens of the Howell area can be proud of the fact that th~r_e are those who are ready and willing to make the necessary sacrifices that result in another fine addition to our com~unity. Your active participation in the recreation program now, and 1n years to come will provide all the thanks that these people need to justify the effort they have expended.

Early Michigan State Police Movie Heroes ... or the big time movies come to Howell By Harriett Faussett Brogan The year was 1917-18. Thomas J. Faussett known nationally as "America's Foremost Jewelry Auctioneer," was closing out a fine store in Anniston, Alabama. Faussett whose ancestors settled in Livingston County in 1836p rided himself on the fact he was a direct descendent of Samuel Huntington, signer of the Declaration of Independence. Appearing at a theater near the store in Anniston was the famous movie star Romaine Fielding, who had been chosen at one time top actor, at the same time America's darling , Mary Pickford was chosen leading female star. Romaine's career was launched back in the Pop Lubin days. One of his greatest starring rolls was in, "The Eagles Nest." One day he attended the auction Tom was conducting to listen to the man he later declared was stealing his audiences away with his entertaining, ably spoken ways. A great friendship developed between the two men and so before Fieldings personal appearance was finished and Tom's sale completed Romaine had pursuaded Tom they could form a movie company in Faussett's home town Howell, Mich. They were convinced they would set the place on the map historically and make a fortune for all concerned. They arrived there in time for the family Christmas dinner and soon Romaine was settled down comfortably in the Faussett home. The town was genuinely excited to think a famous movie star was in their midst. In about three weeks time the movie company was formed . It was called "Mich. Production Corp." It was soon passed on by the Michigan Securities Commission and the sale of stock began . Tom handled the stock sale while Romaine set about to assemble the case in New York, Hollywood and locally. Faussett was made President, Dorr Frisbie Secretary & Treasurer. He was an ambitious handsome young man from a well-known Livingston County family. The Board of Directors consisted of prominent local business men. The stock sold fast and about the middle of June 1917 the production of the movie, "The Rich Slave" began. Romaine had cast himself as the leading man. Other stars in leading rolls were Mable Talliferro, popular Broadway star, June Day another Broadway darling and Jimmy a child prodigy from the New York stage. Other equally well-known actors were hired including Emil LaCroix, star of "Beast of Berlin." Also a member of the celebrated Standish family of actors. The whole town of Howell was alive with excitement and this increased even more when it was learned local people would be used. Mayor Sutton's baby daughter Caroline was to be in one scene and Matilda Kruger , daughter of a prominent grocer would also appear. But most important of all, Michigan's dashing mounted Police unit headed by Capt. Olander, a handsome man known for his great courage would join the case as Western Cowboys. Howell opened her arms to all the cast and the McPherson Family even opened up his home for their stay . Most of the movie shots were taken right around the town, some in the local High School and others in the log cabin located on the Tubb's property next door neighbors of the Faussett family. The action shots using the cowboys (Michigan State Police) was filmed on land now known as Kensington Park near Brighton . There was a log cabin there owned by the Labardie family, and this is where the State Police made their appearances as movie star heroes, performing admirably all types of outstanding horsemanship. The cabin had been renamed , "Buck Horn Hotel" and supposedly is still standing. Labardy also acted in one of the scenes. The author of the script was a writer named Lonnergen, famous for his million dollar mysteries. He worked night and day to keep up with the shooting of the picture . When all the outdoor shots were finished the stars left to continue shooting in New York. Many re-do's were necessary and the script was re-written many times. By late fall the agent handling the sale of the picture turned down a very substantial offer by a London buyer thinking a better one would come from one of the large studios in this country. Realizing his error in judgement he tried to accept the London offer later, but it was withdrawn . After the agents failure to sell the film, Faussett's close friend, James Oliver Curwood, of Owosso, Mich. called Tom to offer assistance . Curwood, famous author and highest paid writer by the word at that time was familiar with influential show people and producers, for several of his books had been made into movies. He was certain he could sell the picture and solve the problem as he felt it was a fine production . Using their own funds Tom and Jim went to New York to try and make the necessary contacts. Jim even wired a thousand dollars to a prominent director in Hollywood for him to come to New York to discuss the situation . Curwood offered to give one of his stories without cost to be produced on behalf of the corporation but the stock-holders confidence was gone and the Board of Directors said, "No." So this wonderful gesture of friendship was never carried out and no buyer could be found. And our heroes , the Mich. State Police's acting careers along with local actors and actresses came to a close. And the stills of "The Rich Slave; " are all that remains of this era in Michigan history and the first movie made in this state. Years later the Faussett family heard from Fielding by letters and autographed pictures attesting to his come-back starring as the lead in "Shepard of the Hills," with John Boles, Molly O'Day, Alex Francis, Matheu Betz and others famous in their own right. Fielding passed awa y at the young age of 45 just before "The Shepard of the Hills" was released, either from complications of a recent face-lift operation or from an infected tooth. The stills from this six-part melodrama have been donated to the Michigan State Police to be on display in their new archives. Sgt. Ray Valley in charge of the archives was able to identify the hats , guns and uniforms on the mounted police in the stills and this group of State Police were the very first unit in our State. This article was written by Harriett Faussett Brogan, only daughter of Thomas J. Faussett, the President of, "The Production Company of Michigan." Faussett passed away April 1961. She recalls that as a small child the making of the movie was without a doubt one of the most exciting time Howell residents ever had happen to them. Fielding and his wife lived with the Faussett family during the filming and the little girl heard many inside stories about early movie making in Hollywood. 281 A red sedan stands in front of the Floyd and Hazel Love home.

Why we call it Thompson Lake My Great Great Grandfather Ezra Thompson was married to Margaret Morris, daughter of one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence . They had three boys namely Lewis , Edward and Moses Thompson . Moses Thompson was blessed with two girls and one boy , namely Mrs. Alvin Crittinden, Mrs . Ezra Frisbee and Morris Thompson. Many years have lapsed since my Great Grandfather, Moses Thompson started his first saw mill into operation in the vear 1836. This was built by Moses Thompson on the East quarter of Section 2S on the stream which forms the outlet for that body of water which is now called Thompson Lake in his Honor. Originally here were three lakes or ponds connected by the dam across the outlet. This all submerged forming the beautiful lake which we all have enjoyed for so many years . This submerged land was donated by him . Edward Thompson a grandson of Moses Thompson donated a half block for the County buildings. Morris Thompson lived on the old Homestead until his death. His Son in law, Judson A . Walker later sold a portion to the city for recreation purposes now known as the Howell City Park . R. B. McPherson donated the land for the entrance of the park . We regret not being able to find a portrait of Moses Thompson. We are including one of Morris Thompson a son of Morris Thompson . Thomas A . Walker 314 Bulk Agent Robert Freeman Burden was bulk agent for Standard Oil Co. in Livingston County for many years. His first oil wagon in 1910 was pulled with horses. He would sometimes start at four o'clock in the morning to make deliveries throughout the county . Standard was the only oil company located here. Picture shows oil wagon and Lyle Burden . Sprungtown Delivery In 1914 he purchased a Republic truck built in Alma, Michigan. It was the first standard tread ever made. All other trucks at that time were ten inches wider than a wagon track and couldn't get through the county dirt roads . The truck had no windshield; straps were attached to roof and hood. Later a wood framed windshield was installed . Picture shows 'Freem' Burden with Will Trowbridge owner of general store at Sprungtown. Lois Gehringer 315 I Sunday afternoon dr ive .

I 11 I I I I I I I • • I I I I I j •• I •• PREFACE •• I This booklet of walking tours was developed in connection with Howell's Sesquicentennial celebration. The year 1986 was selected • as the date marking 150 years of history because Howell's first • I election was held in 1836 at the Eagle Tavern. home of Amos • Adams and his family. The Eagle Tavern, located on the • southeast corner of West Grand River Avenue and Walnut Street • (now the site of Sutton's Hardware), was the only building in the I village at the time. For want of suitable ballot boxes, sugarbowls • and a teapot were borrowed from Mrs. Adams to be used as • depositories for votes . Thirty-three votes were cast in this first elec- • I tion . (The teapot is on permanent di splay at the Livingston County • Historical Museum located in the Railroad Depot at the foot of • North Walnut Street.) • I Howell's increasing appreciation of its history can be traced to the • Regional/Urban Design Assistance Team (R/UDAT) study of the • City of Howell in 1984. This study team included experts in the • fields of urban design. architecture. city planning. economics , • I sociology and management. Their goal was to capitalize on the existing strengths and to develop the potential assets of our com- • munity . Change With Continuity, a detailed publication reporting • I the results and recommendations of the study as well as the in- • dividuals and community groups who supported it. was produced • by the R/UDAT team . • I A major aspect of the R/UDA T recommendations was the • recognition of the unique historic character of Howell's commer- • cial buildings and surrounding neighborhoods . They recommended • that Howell identify historic sites and establish historic districts I through a profe's\ionally conducted. historic-site survey. •• As a result of that recommendation , in August of 1984 the City of • Howell and the Howell Historic Preservation Commission applied • I for a $5,000 matching grant from the Michigan Bureau of History in order to hire a professional consultant to conduct a historic site • survey. The matching $5,000 was raised from local businesses , • I organizations, residents and the City of Howell. •• After receiving the grant in October 1985. the City of Howell hired Carolyn Mann. a professional consultant. to conduct the site • I survey of Howell . The survey. completed in 1986. covered fifty- • six square miles , over 700 sites, and documented seventy- • five architecturally and/or historically significant buildings. Upon • completion of the survey. Mann submitted a detailed written com- • I ,·ii • ' • •• •• •• •• •• •• •• •• •• •• •• •• •• •• •• •• •• •• •• •• •• •• ,·iii pilation of her findings to the City of Howell and the Michigan Bureau of History . That document. An Historical and Architectural Overview of Howell, Michigan. has served as a major source for the development of this walking-tour booklet. Another outgrowth of the R/UDA T study was the development of the Howell Tomorrow Board. and in panicular the establishment of the Main Street program in the spring of 1985. One of the early events in connection with this new program (designed to stimulate the economic and social revitalization of Howell's central business district) was an on-site visit in September of 1985 from the staff of the National Trust for Historic Preservation . That Washington D.C.-based group was impressed with the quality and variety of downtown Howell's nineteenth century architecture. and recommended that the City of Howell apply to the National Trust for Historic Preservation for designation as a historic district on the National Register of Historic Places. (The National Register is the federal government's official list of propenies deemed worthy of preservation because of their importance in American history and culture.) As a result of the above recommendation , the City of Howell contracted with Carolyn Mann to complete the formal application and documentation for downtown Howell to be listed on the National Register of Historic Places as an Historic District. The National Trust for Historic Preservation formally listed The Howell Downtown Historic District in the National Registry of Historic Places on February 27. 1987. This national recognition is gratifying to Howell residents. and in particular to the many individuals who have labored to have the historic and architectural heritage of Howell receive appropriate recognition . We are especially pleased with Downtown Howell's designation on the National Register of Historic Places. It is our hope that Howell residents and visitors alike will use this booklet of walking tours to explore this beautiful city. and more fully appreciate its architectural gems and historic heritage . I I I I I I I I I I I I I •• I •• INTRODUCTION •• I As early settlers moved into this area. they brought with them the • popular architectural styles of the times. Accordingly. Howell has • I a rich and varied collection of architectural works of art. both • residential and commercial. A number of Greek Revival • residences survive in Howell. and they stand as examples of some of Howelrs earliest homes . These homes were built by early set- • I tiers through the 1850's. and reflect our nation 's strong identifica- • tion with Greece 's struggle for independence from Turkey. To • citizens of the United States in the early to mid-19th century . • Greece's fight for freedom closely paralleled America's birth as a I nation following its struggle with England . Excellent architectural • examples are also evident in Howell from the year s after the • Greek Revival building era . Close to the center of Howell is an • I excellent example of Carpenter Gothic . The Italianate style is ap- • parent in residential areas both in the cube form and in the • Italianate Villa style. The Queen Anne style is also evident throughout Howell's residential neighborhoods. In addition. there • I are numerous examples of Colonial Revival and Bungalow styles. •• The collection of commercial architecture in the downtown area is • diverse and of unusual quality . Both simple as well as ornate I Italianate facades dominate Grand River A venue and State Street. • The Richardsonian Romanesque Court House is the focal point for • the downtown. The Neoclassical Carnegie Library and the Art • I Deco Theater provide interesting contrasts at either end of the • downtown. In the midst of the Italianate buildings are two High • Victorian facades. a Victorian Gothic church, a Modified English Gothic church. a Tudor Revival office building. and the Opera • I House with its distinctive Art Deco storefront. This variety , diver- • sity , and excellence in architectural styles makes Howell unique • among small towns in Michigan . • I In the walking tours, buildings will be referred to as either • · 'Significant" or "Contributing." The City of Howell has defined • these terms in its "Historic Limited Use Districts. Ordinance No. • 481 ." Section 2 of that ordinance defines "Significant" as • I follows: Significant Historic Structures are identified in the • Historic Site Survey of 1986, which is hereby incor- • I porated by reference, and defined as those buildings • which contribute significantly to the character of the • district. All these structures retain a basic integrity of architectural design, setting, materials, and • I workmanship. These structures are identified with •• ix • •• •• •• •• •• •• •• •• •• •• •• •• •• •• •• •• •• •• •• •• •• L•. X important persons, events or types of service, or embody the distinguishing characteristics of an architectural specimen, inherently valuable as a representation of a period, style, or method of construction . Ordinance No. 481 further defines " Contributing" as follows: Contributing Historic Structures are defined as those buildings which, while not possessing the importance of a Significant Historic Structure, make a positive contribution to the purpose of this Chapter due to age or physical integrity. With appropriate repairs and restoration, such buildings may be designated Significant by the City Council at the request of the owners and on the recommendation of the Historic Preservation Commission . In developing this booklet of walking tours for Howell's Sesquicentennial celebration, we acknowledge our deep appreciation to Howell's settlers, who developed this community with common sense , good taste and loving care . Their values live on in the homes and the commercial buildings of our community. Our sentiments echo those of Mrs . E.A. Ross. a descendent of some of Howell's earliest settlers. when she wrote in l 938: And so as we see the lovely old homes about us, and walk among them, we, too, feel that atmosphere, that intangible something, the thread which was yesterday. And, perhaps because of it, our lives are enriched, and made more beautiful; perhaps we strive a little harder to be worthy to follow in the footsteps of those who have labored diligently-accomplished much-and gone on before . For those who wish to learn more about architectural styles, read A Field Guide to American Houses by Virginia and Lee McAlester , Knopf , 1986 .

It was platted in 1835 by Fla vius J .B. Crane and Edward Brooks of Detroit and was renamed in honor of Crane' s friend Thomas How ell. the son of a New York state judge . Most of Livingston County 's early settler s left com - fortable surroundings in the state of New York to move west and obtain larger farms than they could have owned in the East. This large migration of New York resident s came about as a result of the opening of the Erie Canal in 1825. The canal's impact over the first five years was not spectacular. but after 1830. thousands of settlers ventured into Michigan's lower peninsula via this 363-mile waterway acro ss New York state . The farmer loaded his family and household goods aboard a canal boat westward to Buffalo , and then continued by steamer on Lake Erie to Detroit. Here he could buy a team of oxen or horses and a wagon and supplies before setting out for his new home in the wilderne ss . The first land sales office had been opened in Detroit in 1818 . The price of land , set by the U.S. Government. was $1.25 an acre. with minimum lot size fixed at eighty acres . The early settler s discovered that food was plentiful. as the area abounded in clean water. fish and wild game. particularly deer and turkey. In most cases, the men came fir st and built their log cabins , then returned later along with their wive s . The log cabins were built with dirt floor s. no window s. blanket s for doors and log-bark roofs. Settler s kept a fire going at night in front of the door to keep away the wolves and bears. There was no real threat from the Native Americans living in the area. as the tribe s had been fragmented or dispersed by the l 830's . The earlie st settlers in Howell . Jame s Sage and his father, George T . Sage , arrived in May of 1834 . They were followed by David Austin in June of 1834, and John D. Pinckney shortly ther eafter. John D. Pinckney brought the first oxen and horses to this area . The original plat of the Village of Howell. about 120 acres. was made by Flavius J.B . Crane and Edward Brook s of Detroit in 1835 . This original plat included a public square . a block of land bounded by Grand River. Walnut. Sibley and Center Streets . When John D . Pinckney arrived, he built his cabin at the southeast .;nd of the lake . This location made his cabin highl y visible to settlers traveling from the east.

The three-story, brick Livingston County Court House is Richardsonian Romanesque in style. It was designed by Albert E. French and was constructed by Waterbury and Wright. Gabled dormers accentuate the steeply pitched, slate-clad, hip roof. Concrete belt courses with modillions or dentils highlight all elevations at transom lines and between the second and third stories. Single and paired, double-sash windows with arched transoms and arched, stone lintels distinguish all elevations. Recessed, paneled, fanlighted, double-door entries are characterized by stepped romanesque stone-and-brick arches and by square pilasters with scrolled capitols. The ground floor is coursed Ohio Blue Stone. A small balcony with a recessed, arched door and a simple, iron balustrade accents the north elevation. Two tall interior chimneys with decorated caps pierce the north-elevation roof. A square clock and bell tower projects upward from the center of the roof . The present courthouse replaced an earlier Greek Revival structure which was built in 1847. Albert French, architect of the 1889 building, emigrated from Prince Edward Island in Canada. He lived in Pittsburgh, PA in 1872 and moved to Detroit in 1877.

Brighton and Howell were both vying for the county seat. In those early days conflict reigned. Defeat piled upon defeat in terms of erecting county offices. Court was held in the Presbyterianc hurch and in the ballroom of a local hotel while the battle to build continued. Peter and Maria Cowdry and Edward Thompson each deeded a square of property to be used for county buildings. Finally in 1847, almost ten years from the time of the first efforts, a courthouse was erected. When that building was condemned in 1889, plans were made for construction of the present building. After considerabled ifficulty, the new courthouse was built. William Kessler & Associates of Detroit. in consultation with Chambers & Chambers. restoration architects from Akron. Ohio . was the architectural firm retained in 1975 to restore the Livingston County Courthouse . Led by County Commissioner Lynne Jamieson. the Courthouse Preservation Committee succeeded in acquiring funds to restore the Courthouse. Out of their efforts, the Friends of the Livingston County Courthouse was formed in 1976. Ed Francis of Kessler & Associates produced a drawing of the Courthouse and donated it for fundraising purpose s . This illustration can be seen on the Howell Downtown Historic District National Register plaques . In May of 1976 a county referendum was passed to approve the selling of $1.45 million in bonds to restore the Courthouse. A contract was signed with Elgin Builders of Southfield in January of 1977. The restoration was complete in 1978 . The interior frescoes. originally painted by John Rogers Burdick and Matthew A. Dowling. assisted by Gardner Preston. were recreated by Darla Olson of Brighton. She was assisted by Susan Michael. Ann Spehar. Chris Shuker. Helen Johnson. Mary Wilkinson and Edward Young . Historic style lighting was added to the exterior grounds in 1987 as part of a landscape plan connecting the Livingston County Courthouse to the newly constructed Livingston County office building . This building is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, as well as the Michigan State Register of Historic Sites . Court House Lawn, U. S. Honor Roll War Memorial .

A classical portico on the north elevation contains a slightly hipped roof, Ionic pillars and fluted pilasters. The entry tops a six-panel, side-lighted door with transom. The one-story, gabled wing on the north elevation is accented, on its eastern elevation, by a porch containing a hip roof, pillared supports, solid balustrade and apron . A six-paneled wood door flanked by fluted pilasters highlights the entry. A stone foundation supports the structure. This house was built for Almon Whipple, a local merchant and land developer, in 1848. Early community histories indicate Whipple was involved in a variety of pursuits through the years including cattle droving in 183 7, acting as village postmaster, Howell Township Supervisor, Handy Township Clerk and as a member of the planning group for the Howell Fairgrounds. The Whipple house was sold to Zinas and Sarah Jewett Grossman in I 864. Sarah was a daughter of Howell pioneer, George W . Jewett. She was instrumental in establishing the first Eastern Star (Masonic Lodge) Chapter in Howell.

John Weimeister built the former National Hotel in 1875. It opened as a public house in 1876. Weimeister was born in Germany in 1825. He came to the United States in 1854. Weimeister was involved in numerous enterprises including a boot, shoe and grocery store in Genoa Township and mills at Oak Grove. In the 1860s . he and Neil O'Hearn established a bank in Howell. The building at 209 East Grand River formerly housed this institution until the firm was dissolved in 1889. Weimeister's financial interests in real estate were depleted in the financial crash of 1889. He died almost penniless on October 3, 1889 .

The north and west elevations of the second and third stories feature recessed, arched, double-sash windows with multi-lights (fan light) in the upper sash, topped by keystone hood molds and accented by projecting sills. The ground-floor storefront features a contemporary facade using poured concrete, vertically placed showroom-style windows and aluminum capolies. The first-story west elevation is highlighted by rectangular , four-lighted windows. Those on the south are four-over-four arched windows . This structure, known originally as the Jewett Block, was constructed in 1872. It housed the Jewett, Goodnow and Hickey drygoods merchants. In 1899. Sherman Jewett deeded the property to Charles Goodnow. During the early years of the building's history, the north elevation at the eave line was dominated by a simpler cornice, embellished by a projecting, curved pediment . It featured curved molding. The firm's name, Goodnow, was emblazoned on the facade below in large, raised letters. The First State Savings Ban1c shared a portion of the structure beginning in 1919. In 1946 First National Ban1c purchased the building . During that era, the westerly portion of the store front assumed a classical facade with a pediment over the door, flan1ced by marble-like pilasters and comer pilasters. The easterly portion of the storefront retained its original components with expansive, plate-glass windows, transom, kickplate and recessed entry. In 1968 First National Ban1c altered the facade as described earlier. The store had featured a simple, dentilated-cornice with fluted pilasters flanking transomed, double-doors. First National Ban1c had its beginnings in Howell in 1920.

Wood circulated a petition in 1901 to have a proposition on the ballot to establish a township library . Carnegie offered to furnish $10,000 if Howell could provide the site. The 1901 vote was favorable. E. E. Meyers, designer of the State Capitol in Lansing, was selected as architect for the project. The four sons of William McPherson, pioneer entrepreneur, purchased an entire block for the site. The part of the property which the library occupies was accepted by the township . The remainder of the block was designated a public park .

Carnegie agreed to an additional gift of $5,000. That money and a grant from the Howell Women 's Club allowed the building to be completed. The Howell Carnegie Library opened in November, 1906. It is an example of Andrew Carnegie's philanthropy which encouraged the construction of libraries throughout the United States.

James A. Garfield, Andrew 'Jackson and hundreds of others whose names shine out as b eacon lights in national history, lived in the lob cabin in the days long since gone by. The day of the sturdy pioneer found him in an unbroken country full of massive trees and a fuller determination to hew for himself and family a home where he might thi-ive and prosper. · Many miles, perhaps, lay betw~en him and the saw mill that would cut the logs into boards with which to bui ld the home nest, and rather than wait the time when the mills should come to him he cut the trees down, s haped them as he desire!}, and with mud as a filler between the logs builded for himself the humble log ca bin. •.rrue, there was often suffering in the se humble homes, but there was also much of joy and happ iness a s th e children came to mak.e t h e hom e the brighter and add new hop es to the pioneer parents of tho se d a ys of long ago. · Mr. and Mrs. R.

A seat for the children is made from a piece o! white wood 24 in- ' ches wide and about eight feet long without a knot or crack, and used In winter before the huge fire to keep the l!ttle folks warm and com - fortable. A child's cradle also which stood close to the floor is one of the articles seen; also boot jacks of various lcinds, candle sticks and candle moulds, bullet moulds, melting ladle, a cl!,binet of rare old china, powder horns, shot p ouches, one made from the tanned hide of a wood chuck. A gun and sword, both relics of the p a st, which bear the distinction of being 140 years old. A Seth Thom a s clock with wooden wheels is one of the curios in the cabin and in days of old aided the farmers or pioneers in keeping in touch with the hour of the day.

This two-story, side-gabled structure with a gambrel roof is clad in wide, horizontal boards and brick. It is an example of Dutch Colonial Revival architecture. Its features include continuous shed dormers, a pent roof between the stories, six-over-one lighted double sash windows and an exterior, sloped brick-chimney. The south elevation is accented by an arched, gabled entry porch which is supported by simple, triple pillars. Entrance is via a sidelighted door. A carriage porch accents the west elevation . William E. Robb, founder of Citizen's Mutual Automobile Insurance Company. had this house built. Robb was an attorney who worked his way throught the University of Michigan by selling windstorm insurance for Lapeer Mutual Insurance Company . With the advent of the horseless carriage , Robb saw the need for auto insurance. He introduced legislation in Lansing that would allow Michigan automobile owners the choice of owning insurance in a mutual company. Before this legislation was passed, mutual auto insurance was not allowed in Michigan. After passage. Robb founded Citizen's Mutual automobile Insurance Company in Howell in 1915 . 14. 403 Lake Street, Gilbert House. Contributing . Ca. 1887. This Italianate house features a bracketed bay window on the north along with a hipped roof over an entry porch. The porch features square supports , dentils. a simple balustrade and pilasters .

The side-gabled dwelling features fourover- four double-sash windows topped by shaped lintels. The east elevation boasts a newer, one-story wing with shed roof and a newer concrete block foundation . Deeds records indicate that this property was sold in 1890 to Joseph Smith, subject to taxes from 1886, by William McPherson, Jr. Local histories offer no significant facts concerning Smith, nor the owners who purchased the cottage from him in 1900. Even without tax records between 1880 to 1890, it is safe to conclude that Smith had the house constructed; because McPherson had the land platted and nearly all of it was vacant when it was sold. ,?~ £~A,vv 35 •• •• •• •• •• •• •• •• •• •• •• •• •• •• •• •• •• •• •• •• •• •• A WALK THROUGH TIME SEVEN WALKING TOURS OF HOWELL, MICHIGAN CORRECTIONS AND ADDITIONAL INFORMATION 603 N Barnard Street Howell, Michigan 48843 BAKHAUS, MARK E JR & BOTIUM, GLADYS 7841 STATES T BRIGHTON,M l 48116 Built 1890 •• •• •• •• •• •• •• •• •• •• •• •• •• •• •• •• •• •• •• •• •• •• 17. 504 Court Street, Orphans' Home . 1868.

When Mr. Frisbee died, his widow and two sons , Sumner and Dorr, continued to live there. Sometime later, Mrs. Frisbee married Sam Platt, a widower , who also had two sons. He and his sons moved into the house. Mr. Platt had a cemetery monument business. Sumner Frisbee married Ethel Pfau and they had two daughters , Evelyn and Marilyn . They bought the house on south Walnut between the Lee and Smith houses. Door Frisbee never married. He moved to Detroit and was very successful in the insurance business. The house that Sumner Frisbee had bought had been built by Westley Crittendon . When Mr. Crittendon died, a relative of Mr. Crittendon came to live with her. Her name was Jane McCartney and she was a maiden lady. When Mrs. Crittendon died, Jane built a beautiful little house just south of the Rollison house on south Walnut. Mrs. Crittendon and Jane had become close friends in the years that they were neighbors and friends of Mrs . Lee. When Mrs. Lee, due to her age, could no longer care for herself, Jane took her into her home to care for her. We lived in the old Allen house on Crane Street between Walnut and Michigan. I often sat with Mrs. Lee wile Jane went to do errands. I was called by Jane and was with her on the day that Mrs. Lee died. Elizabeth McFadyen Payn.

Constructed during the nation's 100th birthday , the Centennial House has comforted children, offered a relaxing retreat during the summer and even produced pencils . The Italianate Villa home was built by George Greenaway, a dry-goods merchant in downtown Howell. George's store was located at the northeast corner of Grand River Avenue and Michigan Avenues, where Uptown Coffeehouse is today. His name is still visible at the top of the building . George was also a philanthropist. He donated the property for the construction of a church, which is now called All Saints Angelical Chapel , on S.

Eventually, the home passed on to George's youngest daughter, Emma. Emma married Jack Ballard, and she peTformed with him on Broadway under the name Billy Ray. The Centennial House was Emma's summer home- a place for peace and tranquility away from the big city. For a time, the house sat vacant and many local children thought it was haunted. During World War II, the carriage house was used as a pencil factory, said John Mullaney, who now owns the home with his wife, Kelly. Some of the dies used to make the pencils were still on the property when John's parents, Jackie and Larry Mullaney, purchased the home in 1976. Although the house had been neglected by a previou s owner, Jackie and Larry found the nearly 5,000 square feet perfect for ·caring for dozens and dozens of foster children over the years - six of whom they adopted.

Historic Site Marker designating Old Indian Trail, erected by The Daugbten of the American Revolution in 1923. 54 In 1834 the first settlers and homesteaders began arriving in Howell by way of primitive Native American trails which had been cut through the virgin timber years earlier . The Grand River Trail actually began to take shape over 12,000 years ago as the huge Wisconsin Ice Sheet was receding northward from southern Michigan. Glaciers and meltwaters from these glaciers sculpted natural passages through some portions of the state. The major passages were adopted by animals such as the mastodon and caribou. Thousands of years later, Native Americans developed the trail for travel. The first modem improvement in the Grand River Trail began in 1847 with the building of a "plank road ." The Detroit to Howell section was completed in 1850. The Howell to Lansing section was finished in 1852. The road was built with boards of eight feet to sixteen feet in length . Reports filed at that time indicate ' ' . . . trips that formerly required four to six days to complete could be completed via a plank road in a total elapsed time of ten to fourteen hours.'' This turned out to be a short-term solution because the planks warped and decayed . By the tum of the century, plank roads were no longer being built.

Note from Elizabeth Hadyen Payn - I was born in 1897 and my mother often told me of the way I learned to run away when I was old enough to go out to play. It seems that I learned to climb over the stiles that was over the hedge between the two houses. Mrs. Brokaw made good cookies . My mother also told me that the Brokaws moved back east after they sold the furniture store . She did hear from Mrs. Brokaw occasionally and that Kitsey was modeling ready to wear in large New York Stores . After the Brokaws moved out of this house it was rented by trainers of the McPherson Racing stable.

And like most old houses it has an interesting history and succession of owners_ It is unknown when it was built but its first owner came to Howell in 1838a nd in 1840h is home was on the Howell tax list. He was Dr. Gardner Wheeler the first medic in town. The village then consisted of a little cluster of 13 houses centered around the old Public Square of the Crane and Brooks plat, which was bounded by Grand River, Walnut, Sibley and Center, but the Wheeler home was well within the present bounds of Howell. According to the late Judge Josiah Turner, the 13 buildings in Howell at this time belonged to Messrs_ Wheeler, Jewett, McPherson, Skilbeck, Jeffries, Fishbeck. Field, Glover, Curtis, Gregory, Root, Taylor and Weston. Mr. Whipple and Mr. Rohrabacher arrived during the year . There were several families at a little distance and Ol}tside the village but who might be said to belong to Howell, a~they were within easy walking distance . They were the $age, Austin, Thompson, Pinckney, Sliter and West families . BUILT ON GRAND RIVER Dr. Gardner Wheeler's house was west of town, on the south side of Grand River, at the -southwest corner where it meets Isbell Street, although it may have been set back from '/4, the road . The street was then Wheeler Street. Like most of the early settlers' homes it was very small and low, abou t une story or a story and a ha lf high. It was a typical sa lt-box style, 18 by 30 feet, with the door on the long side, and had returning eaves and small-paned windows . These early settlers' homes were much different from the tall and imposing homes which were built around Howell in the 1860, 1870 and 1880's. Some of these are on S. Walnut and N. Court and have beautiful gingerbread trim . By this time people could relax and spend time on the nicities, but the early homes were strictly utilitarian . Dr. Gardner Wheeler was a very imporla i,· man in Howell's early history . Besides being the first doctor , he was the first worshipful master of the Masonic lodge, was many times supervisor of the township, was interested in educa lion and several times was school inspector . He practiced medicine over 20 years and was a highly respected citizen . He was a nephew of Villeroy E ., John W., and Elisha H. Smith . Elisha was the author of Howell's first history. To quote from Crittenden's History of Howell: "His <Dr. Wheeler's> office stood where the Sabin block now stands, was moved in later years and is now a part of the first house south of Parshall's mill. His residence, which occupied the site of M. J . McPherson's home, was moved up the Byron Road and is now < 1911) owned by John Owen. "Old settlers say that his office was moved a second time and became the home of the late Tressie Cameron on W. Clinton Street. l\11LITIA TRAINED HERE There was an early militia company in Howell and Dr. Wheeler's farm was used as the training grounds . Again from Crittenden: "- the 40 acres sold to M. J. and Alexander McPherson by Mrs. A. L. Crittenden soon after her husband's death was prepared for training purposes ." After this home was moved to Byron Road, it had a succession of owners besides Jesse Owen. It is not known when it was moved to Byron Road but it was there in 1875. A 10 foot addition was built for a kitchen, the old trap door to the cellar was closed, the fireplace was torn out, and new chimneys built Cockrane's, who owned it for a time, remodeled it greatly. The old entrance on the long side was changed to the gable end or west side facing Byron Road. During this time the old clapboards were covered with pebble-dash and a two-sided porch was added to the front. About 10 years ago, the porch was enclosed and the house covered with aluminum siding. In the course of his remodeling, an old window which had been closed up was discovered to have been boarded up with the business sign of the Fishbeck Bros., a firm which has been out of existence for many years. This home, which is situated on the northeast corner of W. Clinton and Byron Road, has some unusual features of construction: the four corner posts of the home protrude on the inside of the house as in barn construction . Also the under structure is not beams and joists but beams in both directions; the smaller beams, which are four inches square, are mortised at right angles into the large beams which are eight inches square. The large beams are all hand adzed, and some of the baseboards have beadings formed by hand with a chisel. Beams under the addition are logs. This is the Albert Rohrabacher home, 201 Byron Road. .45 ...,.. '..., ....

Accenting the south elevation is an enclosed entry porch with pent roof and two angled-windows with decorative spindling and pendants . Corner boards. horizontal banding between the stories and snme Queen Anne stained-glass windows complete the decorative accents. The lack nf continuous tax-records prohibits a conclusion regarding the date of the construction of this house. A check of incomplete tax records housed at the Howell City Hall indicates a structure on the site in 1890. In 1883. Marcellus Dickinson purchased the property. Little is known about him except for his military history which is cited in the 1911 history of Howell. A series of owners have since been associated with the property. 5. 403 Wetmore Street.

The north facade is accented by a porch with a hip roof. spindling. turned porch posts and a sawn balustrade. A smaller porch in a similar style highlights the cast ele vation . Conclusive evidence concerning the time of this house ·s construction cannot be found , because the property upon which the house stands was part of a larger parcel. J. R. Axtell , proprietor of a steam sawmill. owned the propert y from 1862 to 1870. David Blackman owned it before then. In 1870. Sally Smith took out two mortgages. but the assessed valuation did not fluctuate sufficiently to determine whether the house was built then or had already existed . When Sally Smith assumed ownership in 1870. lot 114. on which the house stands. was listed separately on the tax roles.

Significant. Typical of Craftsman styling. this one-and-one-half-story, asymmetrical. clapboard and stucco bungalow is one of relatively few examples of this type in Howell. The building features clapboard side-gables with a gabled clapboard dormer on the west elevation. The roof line is accented by overhanging eaves. exposed rafters and purlins . The first-story west-elevation porch and the foundation are stucco clad . At the first story. double-sash windows are flanked by single-sash multi-paned fenestration. The pitched roof slopes to cover a porch supported by stucco piers topped by triple columns of wood with a semblance of arching at the porch eave-line. Nothing of histori ca l significam:e has been revealed concerning this property. Deeds records do not coincide with the sporadic tax records available. The City Directories reveal no information about Henry Love who owned the propert y in 1928 . 95 A WALK THOUGH TIME SEVEN WALKING TOURS OF HOWELL, MICHIGAN CORRECTIONS AND ADDITIONAL INFORMATION 215 ALMON HOWELL,M l 48843 Owner: MATISON, SHANE & KATHERINE 215 ALMON HOWELL, Ml 48843 Built 1925 A 95 supplement 14. 515 East Clinton Street. Significant. Ca. 1879. 96 Typical of many Victorian folk cottages across the country , this square. one-story hipped-roof structure is an excellent example of vernacular architecture . Distinguishing features include a wide cornice with delicately scrolled. paired brackets. weatherboard siding and a brick foundation. A sloping roof on the west elevation incorporates a recessed entry accented with paired brackets. chamfered posts and pilasters . A portion of this rather small entry porch has been enclosed. Simple lintels top the double-sash windows which have been converted to aluminum. A small. gabled wing and an entry porch with a shed roof have been added to the south elevation. A recessed-paneled door accents the north elevation. A small hip-roof supported by carved brackets and featuring pendants is placed over the door. The east elevation is distinguished by a small. rectangular projecting-wing with hip roof. The history of this small home is difficult to trace. for it was once part of a larger parcel owned by W.W. Kenyon . Evidence suggests that Rose Coleman may have had the house built, for it was she who took out a $900 mortgage in I 879. Nothing is known about Coleman. The next person to own the house was Deborah Force. Records indicate her husband. William , was a Township Treasurer and later an Assessor. Dwight D. Monroe was next to purchase the property in 1893.

All 5 homes on Fleming Street between the 300 and 400 blocks were built between 1890-1900. The reason that an exact date is usually not available is because the abstracts do not show houses, only property ownership because property Never goes away but buildings do. Unless an original builder passed blueprints and additional information along to the home owner and then it was passed as the home was sold, there isn't any way to pinpoint exact date.

BLUE ST AR MOTHERS OF BRIGHTON The Blue Star Mothers of Brighton was organized at the home of Mrs. Guy Pitkin, November 10, 1942. All mothers of men and women in the service were eligible for membership. At first it functioned as Chapter 51 of the Department of Michigan, Blue Star Mothers of America, but at the close of the war they withdrew from the National Organization and became a local club. Their work during the war was in making laprobes, scuffies and crutch pads for the veter an hospitals of Michigan. They collected and shipped thousands of pounds of maga z ines to Per cy Jones and Fort Custer Hospitals. They raised money by various activities and purchased five wheel chairs and one walk-a-chair for the Percy Jones Hospital. They contributed generously to the Blue Star Mothers Michigan Rehabilitation Lodge and have sent monthly contributions to veteran hospitals for their ''cookie jar'' and ''telephone home'' funds, also sent monthly allotments to the "Keeno" wards. Forty boxes were donated to the American Legion Auxiliary "Give to a Yank" and aided in their Christmas "Imaginary Family" project. Our men and women in service were remembered at Christmas time with boxes or other gifts, also on their 1.:>irthdays or at times of illness. The members of our club cheered each other during the trying time and found comfort in working together. Mrs. Pitkin was elected president for the first two years, she has been succeeded by Mrs. P. Leitz, Mrs. R. Luce, Mrs. H. Young, Mrs. G. Kirchbaum and Mrs. H. Warner.

Besides the used bedding, we presented one family with a new comforter and a woolen lap robe. We delivered many carloads of magazines to some of these homes. One family was aided financially and clothing was bought for several children, We collected and gave a great amount of clothing for the European Clothing Drive in 1944 and in 1945 we took charge of the Drive for this worthwhile cause in Brighton, as as a result an even greater amount of clothing was collected than that collected in 1944. Many letters were written answering all sorts of inquiries to questions concerning problems, which people felt that the Red Cross could and would help them solve.

We also donated $20 ·to the Ida C. Hibbard Fund used toward purchasing an artificial hand for some unfortunate soldier. We opened our Surgical Dressing rooms in the Federated Church of Brighton on February 23, 1943. The following week the church burned and we were obliged to seek other quarters. We moved into rooms over the Brighton State Bank, which were made available through the courtesy of Mr. R. 0. Newcomb. We were permitted the use of these rooms with heat free of charge . They were well lighted and of such size as to give us seating capacity for sixty workers. The Community Club paid for electricity and sundries.

Many people worked to make these visits the success they were. Through the generous donations of money and food from Brighton friends of Red Cross, the total expense to Livingston County Chapter was limited to $77 .87 for the six visits. • Under Miscellaneous Activities: We assisted at the Dedication ceremonies of the Community Honor Roll in Brighton, September 11, 1943.

During the Fifth War Loan Drive, the Brighton Surgical Dressings Unit participated in the parade, which opened the drive and again on August 15, 1945 we entered a float in the Victory parade to celebrate V-J Day. On February 29, 1944 we held a luncheon at the 1.0.0.F. Hall, which was attended by eighty-two women. At that time, recognition was given to all women, who had worked enough hours in Production work to earn pins and stripes. Another purpose for which the luncheon was held was to stimulate interest in Red Cross Activities. Numerous inquiries were made con c erning gifts for Percy Jones General and Convalescent Hospital at Battle Creek, Michigan. Assistance was given several groups in advising them and in directing the purchase of twenty-one wheel chairs and one artificial hand. Contributions were encouraged to be sent to the Ida C. Hibbard Fund for the purchase of artificial limbs for service men. Respectfully submitted, (Mrs. Thomas S.) Ethel M.

Rose Post #215 American Legion, 110 • I I • AMERICAN RED CROSS The American Red Cross as in all emergencies of the past came to the front and organized their forces for their part in the work ahead, The women responded to their every call for knitted comforts for the duration of the war. If any man or woman of the many branches of the service, went without these comforts, even in the remotest corner of the globe, it was because they had no means of knowing it. They placed in the hands of millions of soldiers, remembrances of a loyal and patriotic people. These remembrances went not only to the camps in our own country, but to the troops in the remote parts of the theatres of operations, and to the Allied countries. Surgical dressings and hospital garments were furnished by the Red Cross, the hours were long, the pay was small, but they worked diligently and with the purpose of filling their quotas in the required time. Red Cross courses were conducted for those who desired to acquire knowledge of first aid practices and home nursing, this knowledge was most imperative, because of the shortage of Doctors and nurses, caused by their entry into the services of their country. The danger of air raids stimulated a great interest in first aid treatment, and in co-operation with civilian defense authorities, gave instructions to hundreds on this subject within our country. In the field of medicine the Red Cross gave valuable service, and through its many agencies, blood of millions of American donors was acquired and stored for use on the battle fields. Thousands of nurses aids were trained to take over the duties of trained nurses in order that they could be released for duty with the armed services. A woman's motor corps was also organized and trained, equipment to fit them for work behind or near the lines of battle. To all of the men and women who took part in all the work done by the American Red Cross, we owe them a deep debt of gratitude . 111 There are still signs left here and ther e of trenches whic h were used in World War I, 1914 to 19 18 a s this phot o shows, in the f or e s t s a bout Busendorf, in the Al sa c e - L orr a ine country of G e rlllAny. REMNANT TRENCHES LEFT FROM WORLD WAR I With the crowning of the King of Prussia as the Emperor of Germany, William II came to the throne in 1888, and became involved in a series of Imperial rivalries which finally culminated in the first world war, an armed conflict in which 29 nations (the allies) were pitted against Germany, Austria, Hungary, Turkey, and Bulgaria, (the Central Powers). It began on July 28, 1914 with a declaration of War upon Serbia by Austria, Hungary because of the assassination of an Austrian Prince by a Serbian, and ended with a general armistice on November 11, 1918. It has been said that the Allied Powers won the war but lost the peace because they failed to establish in 1919 and thereafter, a world free from injustices and aggressions. At the termination of World War I, Emperor William II fled to Holland in e x ile. Under the terms of the Versailles treaty General Von Hindenburg was placed at the head of the German people, intended to be a democratic a nd peaceable Weimac Republic of Germ any. But the Allied Powers including the United States, failed to give any real support to the head of the German peoples Government in its international dealings throughout the 1920's furnished the excuse for many of the communist and Na zi groups in the Reich and finally in January 1933 the Nazis seized power of the Berlin Government.

In its origin and implications the second world war which began on September 1, 1939 was in reality a continuation of the first world war of 1914 to 1918. Adolph Hitler born at Braunau, Upper Austria in 1889, and because of his hostility to the Austro-Hungarian regime, moved to Munich and enlisted in the Bavarian Army during World War I and came out of this conflict with the rank of Corporal. After the close of the war he formed the nucleous of the National Socialist Party in Germany which found a ready reception by the then bewildered people. Thinking his party and storm Troopers strong enough for a march, ordered the ill-fated "beer hall putsch" on November 8, 1923 . Hitler with Rudolph Hess was jailed as a result, and served nine months in prison, during this time the much publicised "Mein Kemph" was written. After their release, backed by powerful industrialists, reorganized his illegal party. On January 30, 1933 Von Hindenburg was forced to appoint Hitler, Chancellor of Germany. Two months later the Nazi controlled Reichstag granted Hitler dictatorial powers, thus becoming '"Reichsfuhrer". His regime was marked by drastic anti-simitic measures, brutal liquidation of political opponents and an aggressive international policy. Important events included, the Nazi blood purge in June 1934. Conscription 1935 and contrary to the Versailles Treaty, Remilitarization of the Rhineland 1936. Military support of the Spanish Rebels and seizure of Austria March 1938, of the Sudetenl a nd September 1938, of Czechoslovakia March 1939, and the invasion of Poland September 1939, which forced Great Britain and France into a war against Germany on September 3, 1939. In 1940 Hitler personally directed the Campaign by the opening of a western front with 40 Nazi divisions and 1000 planes, marched into Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxemburg. The Nazis had complete superiority on the ground and in the air and in four days Rotterdam had fallen and Dutch resistance ceased. Queen Wilhelmina and her royal family had fled to England. Quickly the Nazis had control of the Ardennes and the Belgium fortifications at Liege and Namur were surrounded. The French Army under General Andre Corap was annihilated in the vicinity of Sedan and left a great gap through which the Nazi Armored columns sped toward the channel ports. On May 17, 1940 the Na z is entered Brussels and three days later was at the Cambrai-Peronne Road. King Leopold of Belgium ordered unconditional surrender. The position of the Allies in the north was then intenable, and they withdrew toward Dunkirk. Three hundred thirty-five thousand troops had been evacuated from Dunkirk to England 114 by June 4, 1940. The F rench Armies after many unsuccessful a tt e mp t s to stem the tide of the Na z is we re forced to ab a ndon any further efforts to prevent the Na z is from reaching Paris , in order to preserve its magnificent be a uty a nd historical structures , the Government of Fr a nce moving to Borde a u x on June 10 , 1940. Italy entered the war on the side of Germany thus c a using another front to be ope ned for the French to defend.

Hitler after h i s victor i es on the continent and after g iv i ng his troo p s some rest sought to end the war quickly by att a cking the Br i tish Isles. Thus the British abandoned by every a lly, but inspired under the leadership of W i nston Churchill, bega n its program of blood, sweat and te a rs. Then came the a lmost con ti nued bombing of London and other industrial centers in their efforts to reduce the English resis ta nce. But British production increased and the people were more determined than ever to fight to the bitter end. The British fleet was put to service a round the clock and i n a s hort tim e had destroyed the Italian N a vy and h a d com p lete control of th e Mediterr a ne a n by their Navy , the British success was a ssured. They captured about 40,000 Italians when B a rdi a fell to them a nd the fall of that city a dded another 30, 00 0. The British fighting in Western Europe was almost entirely by ai r, however in September 1940 the British Comm a ndoes raided Sp i tzbergen, struck a t German held Lofoten Isl a nds off Norway, caus ing severe damage and returning with prisoners. The Germ a n pre-occupation of North Africa , the B a lk a ns, Crete and then Russi a caused a decline on the Nazi air raids over Brit a in, and with more and better Brit i sh defense a gainst night bombing, r a ids bec a me much more costly to the Nazis. The first three months of 1940 public opinion in the United St a tes was strongly on the s i de of the All i es but America seemed far removed from the conflict. Germany tried by every means at her comm a nd to cut the supply lines to Britain from C a nad a a nd the United St a tes, and the attacks on U. S. ships caused President Roosevelt to order the N a vy to patrol the Western A tl a ntic and announce the location of any subm a r i nes or ax is r a iders s i ghted, then the Nazis retaliated w i th further att a cks on U . S. sh i pping. The U. S. Navy wa s ordered to shoot on sight any A x is vess e ls of war seen in w a ters important to American safety . And the U. S. began to arm for its own defense and for the first time in its history conscription w·as adopted in peacetime. 115 • The British by successful campaigns in Liby a in r a J')id succ e ssion took Tobruk, Derna, Beng az i a.nd by February 1941 the ltrllian outpost at El Agheila. Germ a n mechanized units under General Rommel were disp a tched to Afric a to as sist the Italians and late in March took offensive from the British and drove them b u ck to Solum a cross the border into Egypt and by American made tanks and nl a nes in November the British once a g rlin went on the march under General Montgomery r a pidly advancing · to Capu zz o and Gambut and pushed on B c1rdia. On November 7th U . S . troops assisted by the British Navy and Air forces m a de l a ndings on Vichy French territory at Algiers, Oran and the coast of Morocco A ir droznes in its vicinity soon capitulated. Spurning the protests of Vichy Fr c1nce, the Allies affected agreements with General Giraud, later to broaden to include the free French followers of General DeG a ulle for a de facto Government in the French colonies, with French participation in the drive against the Na z is . From the e a st the British Army under General Montgomery continued its a ctive pursuit of General Rommel's troops and on January 23, 1943 moved into Tripoli, completing a 120(, mile drive from El A lamein in e x actly three months. The fleeing Afric a Corps entered Tunisia , where the eastward pressure of the Allied troops under General Eisenhower combined to pen the Nazis between centr a l Tunisia and the sea. A x is resistance crumpled in May. The Allies mopped up the area, .t a king 175,000 prisoners. The western front war until 1944 was e x clusively a n air war, with e x ce p tion, the only ground action was the large scale commando R a ids of August 19 , 1942 on Dieppe, France by British, United States, C a nadian a nd fighting French units. Troops participating in this reconnaissance in force retired after m a king observations and destroying German military installations and equi p ment in prep a r a tion for an eventual invasion of Western Europe. A llied losses were severe, but many valuable lessons were learned in landing and Aeri a l tactics. In mid-May the Allies attained supremacy in the air with 600 and 1,000 plane att a cks on Cologne a nd Essen. These big plane raids continued and were augmented in August by the U. S . Flying Fortresses and by March 1943 Allied raids were credited with the distruction of 2 ,000 Germ a n factories, reducing German steel production and also gre a tly reduced the output of coal.

A switch type of railroad engine taken in yards at Rosenheim, Germany. 117 Berlin experienced its first air raid by British Bombers on December 7, 1941 while J a panese were attacking Pearl Harbor. The Royal Air Force caught the Berlin Capital by surprise on January 16, 1943 and dropped its bombs without a single loss, a raid the following night however cost the British 22 planes. By January 20, 1943 night and day bombing of Berlin by British Bombers and U. S. Fortresses became routine. Daylight bombing was developed to such a degree that the bombers could fly un-escorted to their targets, and beat off the enemy fighters going and returning. By Ap ril 1943 every important industrial center in the Ruhr region had been visited by at least one major a ir attack. The bomb tonnage rose steadily from 8,000 tons dropped in March to 15,000 tons in June . On May 16, 1943 the British with 19 Lancasters flying at tree top levels blasted the Mohne and Eder Dams, which provided a l a rg e portion of the p ower to the Ruhr. On June 5, 1940 a n air attack of unprecedented intensity and distructive power w as launched , thon sa nds of p ara troops were dropped inside France to di s rupt communications a few hours before the m a in blow fell. Thousands of heavy and medium bombers of June 6, 1944, thousands upon thous a nds of troops, supported by terrific nav a l and air forces swept forward on the Cherbourg peninsular below the port of Cherbourg. Four thous a nd ships and several thousand smaller cr a ft took part in the landing, and except for German E boat attacks, were virtually unmolested, the first 24 hours of the invasion, between 15,000 and 20,000 tons of bombs were dropped by more than 11,000 planes, the greatest aerial invasion in the air, less than 100 German planes appeared over the beachhead. The invasion forces under the command of General Eisenhower and General Montgomery, ground commander, quickly secured the beaches a nd on June 7 cleared of all enemy forces. Massive air attacks continued with the British and American pilots flying 27,000 missions in a little over 48 hours with a loss of 289 planes. The American Army struck toward Cherbourg and the British toward Caen, by June 11 the Allies held a 60 mile beachhead. Cherbourg was occupied by A merican troops on June 26. The British broke into Caen on July 8 . Troops under General Bradley broke out across the Cherbourg peninsular behind a heavy aerial assault and captured St. Lo and broke out of Normandy with the capture of Avranches, the thousands of Germans thus by passed by the Americans were trapped, and 60,000 prisoners were captured. United States losses in the first 10 days of the invasion numbered 3,283 killed and 12,000 wounded. On August 7, following an intensive saturation bombing assault by 1,000 Lancasters and Halifa x es , the Canadians first Army, together with British troops, launched air offensive below Caen, driving down the Caen-Falaise road. American forces meanwhile moved into Brittany, capturing Rennes on August 4 and Nantes on August 10 and virtually clearing the Germans out of the Breton peninsular. Suicidal resistance at the ports of Lorient and Brest proved to be a long range German strategy to deprive the Allies of harbor facilities, and Germans fought on in these ports long after the war had been carried far to the east. The Americans sent a column eastward to capture the road center of Le Mans, as part of a great circling movement, other Americans drove northward toward Falaise. British and C a nadians drove southward to close a trap on the Germans. The 7th German Army began a retreat through the gap between the Americans and the British and Canadians. By mid August the American and British-Canadian forces had made contact, and although the Germans had succeeded in saving most of the 7th Army's armor from the Falaise trap, they lost 14,000 Germans as prisoners between August 8th and 20th and an estimated 100,000 were accounted for in the battle. Meantime on August 15, British, American and French troops with strong air and Naval support, landed at numerous points on the Southern 118 coast of France between Toulon and Nice, they met with little resistance until French troops reached Toulon. A merican troops took M a rseille, and struck rapidly northward to join the m a in army in the North. The advance up the Rhone Valley was cleared by French Forces of the interior. In the north the Americans crossed the Seine River on A ugust 21 above Paris while inside the Capital French Forces of the interior rose, for 4 8 hours the fa te of the Capital was a mystery. French Partisans announced the liberation of Paris on August 23rd, but on August 24 they announced that the Germans a fter requesting an armistice had returned with reinforceinents, threatening to destroy the city, an appeal was sent to the Allies for help, and American and French forces irmnediately launched a drive on the approaches to the city, and the French capital was liberated in August by American and French troops. The Allies pushed spearheads into Belgium in early September 3 advancing with remarkable speed, the 3rd American Army under General P a tton pushed through the Argonne and crossed the Moselle River, on September 7th after advancing more than 750 miles in 35 days, the Germans concentrated their forces on the Albert Canal. The British .forced; a crossing of the canal on September 8th and three days later British forces crossed into Holland. A llied troops, driving up from the south, captured Lyons in late August. A few days l a ter a junction was established with Allied Armies from the north and south and all of France to the west was liberated, with the e x ception of some of the seaports where the German garrisons held out. The Canadian A rmy cleared the Channel coast including Dieppe by early September. An estimated 400,000 Germans had been killed, captured or wounded. Late September an airborne a rmy was dropped behind the German lines at Eindhove, Nijmegen and A rnheim but failed to outflank the Seigfried Line. Early in October, American troops were successful in crossing into Germany near Aachen, situated on the road to Cologne. After a three weeks battle, the British beleagured garrison surrendered on October 21st. German resistance all along the front was stiffening, the Allied drive was stalled by bad weather and supply difficulties. In mid November the American 3rd Army launched a drive on Metz, quickly forced a crossing of the Moselle River a nd surrounded Metz itself. In the south the American 7th Army broke through the Belfort Gap and drove a wedge to Strasbourg, threatening the Germans Rhine defenses while the American 3rd Army swept beyond Metz and threatened to engulf the Saar industrial region. The American 9th Army pushed to the Roer River on the road to Cologne, but by early December the offensive had ground to halt. Two weeks later the Germans launched a large scale surprise counter offensive, with relatively strong air support, against the American First Army in the Ardennes, hitting the thinnest section of the Allied line, they drove a deep wedge, threatening Sedan and Liege, after three weeks the German counter offensive was checked and attacks were launched to wipe out the bulge forced into the Allied line. Later in December the tide again turned to the Allies. The Allies moved steadily toward the German Capital. On January 29, 1945 the U . S. 3rd Army moved into Germany from the A rdennes Bulge near Sberhausen. By February 7th the 3rd Army had entered Germany at ten different points. On March 8th the U. S. 3rd Army established a firm bridgehead on the east bank of the Rhine, near Remagen, indicating the first definite crack in German resistance. The 7th Army crossed the Rhine March 26th and the 15th Army on March 31st. The vital Ruhr Valley was encircled April 1st. By May 1st, virtu a lly all N az i resistance ceased, the Nazis surrendered on May 7, 1945 at Rheims. 119 FALORlA, ITALY , CORTINA, ITALY. VENICE, ITALY, THE ITALIAN CAMPAIGN OF 1943-1945: After occupying the Islands of Pantelleria and Lampedusa in May, 1943 the Allies invaded Sicily on July 9th. Conquest of the Islands was completed in a month. Invasion of Italy was begun by the British 8th Army which landed September 3rd between Reggio Calabria and Catona. The new Italian government under Marshall Badoglio accepted terms of unconditional surrender on September 8th. On September 9th the U. S. 5th Army stormed ashore at Salerno. Italy joined the Allies against the Nazis on September 16th . Naples was captured in October but a stalemate developed late in 1943 along a mountain line from Cassino to Ortona on the Adriatic. January 22, 1944 British and American troops landed at Anzio behind the German positions 30 miles west of Rome. American troops attacked Cassino to break through to the Anzio beachhead but failed. Troops landed at Anzio were sealed off and suffered heavy casualties in the ensueing four months. Polish troops captured Cassino while American, British and French forces pushed toward Rome. They joined the Allied A rmy at Anzio, the combined forces taking Rome on June 4th. The Germans fell back on a line from Pisa to Rimini September 22. The knockout blow was dealt in April, 1945 when the Allies broke into the Po Valley, Northern Italian cities fell in r api d succession. By April 29th, the U. S. 5th Army was in Milan. Fighting in Italy ended on May 2nd when the German High Command accepted Allied terms of unconditional surrender. THE F A R EAST AND THE PA CIFIC: During the summer and fall of 1941 tension in the far east steadily mounted. Japan first intervened in the struggle between Thai and French forces in Inda-China, in so doing she a cquired the privilege of basing an army in the Vichy French Colony. 120 On July 25th the U, S. froze all Japanese credits in the country and with Great Britain, promised to oppose Japan with arms if Thailand were invaded. There were other indications that the war which had been confined to Europe and Africa would I develop into a world conflict, Germany threatened to take control of the African bases and the fleet of Vichy France. When the U. S. and Britain failed to divorce Finland from the A.xis, Britain finally declared war on Finland, Hungary and Rwnania on December 7, however, this formality failed to bring on any military action, Of far greater consequence was the fact that Japan in further pursuing negotiations with the U. S. demanded that aid to China cease, embargos on exports of vital raw materials be lifted and that her right to control Oceania and the f1u east be respected The U. S. refused to meet these demands and while Japanese envoys were conducting further negotiations in Washington, several hundred carrier based Japanese planes struck a surprise blow against the U. S. Naval Base at Pearl Harbor, Honolulu on Sunday morning, December 7, 1941. The raiders neutralized U. S. air power on Oahu and succeeded in crippling the U. S. Pacific Fleet, sinking six warships and damaging several others with a total casualty list of 2,897 dead, 879 wounded and 26 missing. Following the attack on Pearl Harbor, Japan declared war on the U, S, and Britain, within three days Germany and Italy had declared war on the U. S. Almost simultaneous with the attack on Pearl Harbor, the Japanese launched an air attack on Luzon, the most important island of the Philippine group, After seizing control of the air, they quickly made landings at widely separated points on Luzon, isolating the U. S. and Philippino garrisons from outside support, American forces fell back to Manila then executed a planned retreat to Bataan Peninsular. The 40,000 American troops (mostly Philippinos) were outnumbered hr five to one, but staged a brilliant and costly resistance against the Japanese forces, which lasted for 100 days. The Bataan garrison ravaged by disease, its food and ammunition almost exhausted, surrendered on April 19, 1942, Some remnants of the garrison, however, managed to reach Corregidor, the islands fortress at the entrance to Manila Bay and held out there until May 7, 1942. General Douglas McArthur had been recalled from the Philippine command in March to become Supreme Commander of U.S. Forces in the Southwest Pacific. He was succeeded by General Jonathan Wainwright, who surrendered with his forces on B a taan. Japanese forces on the Asiatic mainland invaded Thailand also landing troops along the coast. A desperate attempt to thwart the invasion met with disaster when the battleship Prince of Wales and the Cruiser Repulse with an escort of two destroyers, sailed forth to attack a Japanese convoy off the coast and Japanese planes operating from newly acquired bases, pounded the warships as they attempted to escape, In less than an hour of violent air assualt, the battleship and cruiser were sunk, the first capital ships to be sunk by air power alone. The sinking of these ships facilitated the Japanese invasion of Malaya, both by land and by sea and by January 30, 1942 the Japanese had swept all the way to the strait of Jahore, which separates Singapore from the mainland. Singapore whose defenses had been constructed to meet attacks from the sea, fell in mid-February. The British base at Hong Kong had fallen to the Japanese on Christmas day, 1941. The loss of these two bases by the British left the Japs with undisputed naval supremacy in the western Pacific.. British, anticipating the impending disaster, rushed reinforcements to Burma in preparation for a counter-offensive to cut off the Jap forces fighting in the Malaya Peninsula. Aware of this danger, the Japs had cut across 1and captured the town of Tovoyand had occupied Moulmein by January 31st. The British threatened with encirclement, withdrew early in March and succeeded in escaping to the North while another British garrison attacked the Japanese flank. The Japs steadily drove the British up the Irrawaddy River Valley, while the British destroyed everything in their wake. The overpowering Jap offensive far to the north of the British-Chinese positions in Burma doomed the country to Japanese conquest, The British and Chinese 121 forces fought a classic retreat to India while the Japs quickly cut the Burma road, the last overland supply route to China and occupied Mandalay on May 1, 1942. The Jap victories had isolated China except for an air route over the Himalaya mountains. The British pushed down the coast toward the port of Akyab in an effort to eliminate a Jap base threatening India but failed, they fought within 25 miles of Akyab but being greatly outnumbered and threatened with encirclement, were forced to withdraw across the Indian frontier. In November, 1943, American trained Chinese forces launched a push from India into northern Burma to force a right of way for the Ledo of Brig. General Frank Merrill early in 1944 and a few weeks later the British troops, known as Wingates R a iders, were dropped by parachute behind the Jap lines in the vicinity of Myitkyina. The Jap supply lines - severed in several places, thus forcing them to retire and the threat to the United Nations supply lines were relieved. While a picked army of 20,000 Chinese troops crossed the Salween River from China, a group of Americans slipped through the Jap lines and after an epic 23 day march over torturous jungle trails, captured a Jap air field two miles from Myitkyina . Within a few days, gliders and transport planes landed Chinese reinforcements which cut off the retreat of the main Japanese force in their fiercest struggle during the war, thus far, the Japs suffered their worst defeat, five divisions of Jap forces were virtually destroyed, Throughout 1944 Northwest Burma witnessed bitter fighting completion of the Ledo-Burma supply route from India to China in January, 1945 and Chinese capture of Wanting in the same month opened the road to traffic. On May 3rd the British took Rangoon, this, virtually ending the Burma campaign. In less than six months after the outbreak of the war between Japan and the U. S. and Britain, China had been isolated from outside support with the blocking of the Burma Road. In the first phase of their offensive, the Japs occupied the railroad from Haugehow to Nanchang while other forces drove northward from Canton, the captured Chekiang Kiangsi province air bases after the famous Doolittle Raid on four Japanese cities April 18 in which American bombers took off from a carrier, bombed Japan, and landed on Chinese air fields. However, Chinese offensives regained two of the air fields and cleared the Japs out of 100 miles of railroad. The Japs in 1942 launched attacks along the upper Yangtze against Changsha and into Yunman province but none of these offensives achieved any notable success. Chinese air support was increased with the arrival of several American Liberators at Chinese airfields, which turned the tide in the next Jap campaign launched early in May, 1943 . Five Jap divisions drove into Hunan province, presumably to destroy the rice crop, and seize Changsha, but were turned back. American bombers opened a strong attack on Jap bases and communications along with a strong Chinese counter-offensive which by mid June drove the Japs back in disorder. It was rather quiet in China until in the spring of 1944, when the Japs launched a concerted attack to cut China in half by seizing the railroad from Peiping to Canton. They did seize the railroad from Peiping to Hankow while another strong force pushed westward toward Loyang and after three weeks had captured Changsha, capital of Hunan province and immediately drove along the Canton railroad. By December they had been successful in seizing the entire railroad and cutting China in half. They had captured all of the U. S. airfields in southwest China except one. The bases were destroyed by the Americans before being abandoned. At the height of the crisis, General Joseph W. Stillwell, U. S. Commander of the China- Burma-India Theatre was called to Washington, This theatre was then divided into two smaller theatres. Major General Albert Wedemeyer was made U. S. Chief in China and Lt. General Daniel Sultan was placed in charge of Burma-India. Late in 1944, Major General Patrick Hurley took over the duties of Ambassador to China, replacing Clarence Goss. The Chinese with allied assistance in 1944 launched a number of counter-offensives and had crossed into lndo-China. By summer of 1945 vir- 122 tually all U. S. airfields had been liberated and Jap coastal installations were being raided heavily by U. S. Army planes. A considerable portion of the coastal area in the Hong Kong, Shanghai and Foochow regions had been liberated by the time the Japanese surrendered.

CITY CHILDREN . 124 I I • I I I I' THE PACIFIC CAMPAIGN: Japan exploited the strategic advantage that was gained by the surprise blow dealt out to the U. S. Pacific Fleet at Pearl Harbor, to sever communications between Hawaii and the Philippines and thus isolate the latter. They struck at Guam and Wake Islands. Guam was virtually unfortified, and had a garrison of only 400 naval men and 155 U. S. Marines. Guam was subjected to a dive bombing attack on December 8th 1941. Jap troops landed two days later and overcame the garrison within 48 hours. Wake Island which was a little better fortified, held out for twelve days against Jap attack. The Japanese next invaded the southernmost Philippine Island of Mindanao, and occupied the port of Davao on December 20th securing a jump off base for the conquest of the East Indies. The Japs landed in Sarawak on the northwestern coast of Borneo on December 17th and invaded Tarakan Island off the east coast of Bomeo and Celibes Islands on January 23, 1942. New Guinea and the Bismarck Archipelago were invaded on January 23rd . Rabaul, New Britain and Kavieng, New Irland were occupied, threatening the United Nations supply lines to Java and placing the Japanese within striking distance of Australia. The Jap conquest was stopped momentarily when a 100 ship convoy, moving through Macassar Strait, was badly mauled by Dutch and American planes and warships late in January, 1942. The Japs strengthened their hold on Macassar Strait by more landings on Borneo and Celebes, and at the same time occupied the island of Amboina to secure control over Moluccas Strait, gateway to northern New Guinea. They also landed 700 Paratroops at Palembang on Sumatra and captured the rich oil center before it was destroyed. The air invaders were annihilated, but the following day, February 15th, the Japs invaded southern Sumatra, closing in on Java from all directions, they occupied Timar, cutting the supply route to Java and invaded Bali. All available Dutch, American, British and Australian naval forces were concentrated in the Java Sea to challenge the impending invasion of Java. The Jap invasion fleet was sighted on February 27 and in the ensuing battle ,.of n.ival forces, the Allied Fleet was trapped and virtually annihilated . The Japs began their invasion on February 28th and over ran the island in a bitter ten days fight. This gave Japan undisputed control of the entire Malenisian area. They landed large forces on the northeast coast of New Guinea on March 8, 1942 and at Finschafen March 10th. Seeking to impede the menacing Jap advance, an American Naval task force raided Japanese bases in the Gilbert and Marshall Islands, causing substantial losses and damage. This was followed by similar raids on Wake February 24th and on Marcus Island March 4th . E a rly in March the Japs began massing transport and combat ships 125 at Lae and Solamaua, New Guinea, in preparation for a new strike to the south. The concentration was raided by U. S. land based and carrier based planes which sunk or damaged more than 20 Jap ships and delayed Jap preparations for further advances. But early in May, the Japs having assembled a huge invasion fleet, set out for an invasion of New Caledonia or the northeast coast of Australia. The fleet was sighted May 4th and the Naval engagement of the Coral Sea ensued. From May 4th to May 9th, United Nations planes pounded the invasion fleet relentlessly and when finally the Japs fled, they had suffered their worst naval defeat of the war, 17 Jap ships were sunk, and 20 damaged, including two carriers and seven cruisers, American losses were comparatively minor, one air craft carrier (Lexington) sunk, one destroyer and one tanker. The battle was unprecedented in that the entire action was waged by planes, the opposing warships never sighting each other. Undeterred by their defeat in the Coral Sea, the Japs early in June 1942 attempted an ambitious campaign aimed ultimately at the occupation of Pearl Harbor, {which could very easily have been accomplished on December 7, 1941, had they known the extent of the damage wrought on that day). They aimed to knock the U. S. fleet out of the central Pacific. A fleet of 80 Jap ships, including troop transports struck at Midway Islands, while a diversionary thrust was aimed at the Aleutian Islands. The Midway bound force was sighted May 3rd and for three days it was attacked by Fortresses, Dive Bombers, and Torpedo Planes based on Midway and pursued by carrier based planes as it fled northward, of this invasion fleet, 4 aircraft carriers, two heavy cruisers and three destroyers were known to have been sunk and ,damase i was inflicted to three battleships, one light cruiser, and several destroyers and transports. The U. S. Aircraft Carrier Yorktown and the Destroyer Hammann were sunk. The Jap diversionary fleet which staged an attack on the Aleutian Islands achieved better success. After bombing Dutch Harbor and Fort Mears, Unalaska Island June 3rd and 4th the Japs on June 7th occupied Kiska Island, 650 miles from Dutch Harbor . . In the spring of 1943, American troops landed on Attu and later on Agattu which subsequently was abandoned. The U. S. troops occupied the Andreanof Islands in September 1942. Repeated U. S. Air attacks through almost impenetrable fog, hampered Jap construction on Kiska and Attu, and in the spring of 1943, American troops landed on Attu, occupying it on May 29th. The Japs withdrew in July and August. Disturbed by the threat of Japanese attacks on Australia, New Hebrides and New Caledonia from their bases in the Solomon Islands, the Allies undertook their first major offensive of the war, on August 7, 1942. American Marines supported by American and Australian warships landed on Tulage, Gavutu and Guadalcanal Islands. The Japs on Tulage and Gavutu retreated to caves and resisted to the end, the fighting lasting one day and the following day the Marines occupied the neighboring islands of Makambo and Tanambogo. The landing on Guadalcanal was made near an air field, which was under control the second day, but the operation was menaced by a Japanese naval force of heavy cruisers and destroyers which attempted to attack the American invasion fleet the night of August 8th. The Japs were driven off but in the course of the battle the Australian warship Canberra was sunk along with the American heavy cruisers Quincy, Astoria and Vincennes. The Japs constantly reinforced their troops on Guadalcanal at night and hung tenaciously to their positions. The turning point for the control of Guadalcanal came in November when the Japs sent a relatively strong naval force toward the islands, the fleet was intercepted, and in the ensuing battle off Savo Island, 28 Japanese ships were sunk, it was in February 1943 that all Jap resistance on Guadalcanal ceased. The American Marines made simultaneous landings on New Georgia and Northern New Guinea. The vital airport at Munda, New Georgia was seized. Early in November Marines invaded Bougainville Island in the Solomons in an aim for the powerhouse at Rabaul, New Britain. The offensive aimed ultimately at the Philippines, and to drive 126 the Japanese out of the Central Pacific, began in earnest in late Noverrilier, 1943. With the invasion of Makin and Tarawa in the Gilbert Islands which were conquered after a costly and bloody battle. The island hopping technique was resumed in January, 1944 with the invasion of Kwajalein in the Marshall Islands. A month later American M a rines and army troops invaded Eniwetok, while a naval task force neutralized the Japanese naval base at Truk. Early in March 1944, American troops invaded the Admiralty Islands, isolating remnants of Jap troops still holding out on New Britain and in the Solomons. On March 29th the U. S. Navy, then supreme in the Pacific staged one of its greatest air and surface attacks in its history against the Jap bases in Pal a u Islands the Jap navy refused to challenge the attack and every Jap base was virtually blanketed as a result, in the central Pacific. In June, Marines and Army troops invaded Saipan in the Marianas Islands, after a two day bombardment and a titanic air battle in which more than 300 Jap planes were destroyed, Guam and Tinian were conquered a month later, the island hopping to the Philippines was completed in September with the invasion of Palau and Morotai. October 20th , American troops under the command of General Douglas McArthur landed on the east coast of Leyte Island in central Philippines. The landing followed a seven day aerial assualt on Formosa , A great naval battle ensued when the Japs, risking their fleet for the first time in two years, sent three naval forces to challenge the invasion of Leyte. In the engagem e nts fought in the narrow waters around Leyte and off the north coast of Luzon, units of the American 3rd and 7th Fleets sank two Jap battleships, four carriers, nine cruisers, three Flotilla leaders, and six destroyers and probably sank a battleship, five cruisers and ten destroyers. Organized resistance ended on Leyte in December. On January 10, 1945, American troops invaded Luzon and rapidly pushed inward . In July, General McArthur announced the entire liberation of the Philippines The real vampire on Japan's Jugular vein proved to be the submarine, day in and day out it chewed its w a y with relentless regularity, the effects of these attacks, together with those of the Superfortresses were manifold, they led to a general weakening of the Jap effort, restricted delivery of raw material to Japan , and increased the number of J a panese plants into idleness, and instrumental in the softening up process before eventual inv as ion of Japan proper. On August 5, 1945, the Un i ted States dropped their first Ptomic Bomb on Hiroshima, this the most deadly weapon ever invented by m a n, almost completely obliter a ted the entire city of appro x imately 18 0,000 inh a bitants, this bomb was set to explode above the surface of the ground, and not only caused havoc from the force of the e x plosion, but the intense heat set up from the explosion of the atom, caused everything to burn that was inflamable, even the clothes were burned from the backs of many of its people. The second Atomic Bomb which was dropped on Nagasak a was set to e x plode on concussion and while it was dev a statingly destructive, it did not accomplish the widespread damage and destrution of Hiroshima. On August 10, Japan a nnounced the a cceptance of the Potsdam Declaration, with the provision that the Emporer be allowed to retain his prerogatives. The Allies a greed to the provisio, stipulating, however, that the Emporer act in obedience to a Supreme Allied Commander. To this post General Douglas Mc- Arthur w a s appointed on Pugust 14, the day ending the hostilities of World War II. Official surrender terms were signed between the Allies and J a pan aboard the U. S. Battleship Missouri on September 2, 1945. U. S. Occupational forces had already landed on J apa n on August 28th. Let it finally be said that the Japs failed, because Germ a ny failed. Japan predicted the assumption of victory on a Germany victory and planned her grand strategy on that a ssumption. Japan and Germ a ny failed secondly because they could not keep pace with Allied production. They started the war with numerical superiority in practically every field of Army, Navy and Aerial equipment, and vastly increased that superiority in the early months of _ the war. 127 GUADALCANAL 128 GUADALCANAL _.. ., . J ~! 129 JAP A N OFF TIP OF HONSHU. 130 The Japs failed thirdly, because they did not possess the know how to com~ete ~ualitatively. Jap equipment rapidly became inferior to our own . The J a ps failed finally, because their high comm a nd failed. Japanese strategy was based on the assumption that the United States could be surprised and beaten before we could arm ourselves to fight b a ck effectively, they together with Germany mad.e th_e mistak~ of believing their own propaganda, that there was internal dissentlon _in the Umted C::tates and that Americans were peace loving and decad e nt, and that it would take ;ears ~o switch from lu x ury production to war output. The ~a~a_nese st~ategists ~nd technicians did not understand until it was too late the potentialities of a ir war. Like the Germans, they thought of air power in terms of an attack weapon, t_o be _used a s support for naval and ground armies. Little did they think of the machine hke precision with which the United States was capable in a war emergency a nd th e speed and co-operation of the nation with its ar med forces. 1AP ANESE SURRENDER CEREMONY .
