JUST ONE MINUTE'S READING. DWIGHT, ILL., JUNE I, 1898. THE KEELEY INSTITUTE, BENTON HARBOR, MICHIGAN, is authorized by the Leslie E. Keeley Co., of Dwight, Ill., to administer Dr. Leslie E. Keeley's Double Chloride of gold Remedies for the cure of the liquor, opium, morphine and other narcotic drug diseases. Its remedies are manufactured at our laboratory; its physicians are especially instructed in the science of the Keeley treatment under Dr. Keeley's immediate supervision at Dwight, Ill., and the managment of the business affairs of the Institute and the direction of its policy, dating from June ist, 1898, are conducted by Mr. C. F. Odell, who has had more than six years of practical experience as a manager in Keeley Institute work. Mr. Odell has met with a large measure of success in that relation, not only as to the curative results attained under his administration, but also in the adaptability of his methods to the best interests and acceptation of the patients under his charge and others interested in Keeley rescue work. We, therefore, heartily commend the Keeley Institute of Benton Harbor, Michigan, to the confidence of the Michigan public and all requiring medical relief for the addictions named. THE LESLIE E.

'3.7 HISTORICAL SKETCH OF DOWAGIAC. BY A. M. MOON. The history of Dowagiac is much like the history of many other towns which have grown from the most discouraging surroundings into an important, prosperous and handsome city. In 1835 Patrick Hamilton was the sole occupant of the territory now occupied by it and its 4,500 busy inhabitants. Others had traversed its wooded slopes-the hunter had chased his quarry through the forest, and the prospector had eaten his noonday meal somewhere near the laughing river that winds its way though its limits, and gives to the bustling commonwealth its name. Hamilton's nearest neighbor was a man named Gleason, who lived on the present C. E. Lyle place, a few rods from the east end of Prairie Ronde street, now marked by a few large maples. The next was John Gee, who lived just over the Henderson hill. A few settlers had already located in Wayne, and Gee employed himself breaking land. These pioneers, as well as the first settlers in Silver Creek traded at Niles, crossing the Dowagiac river on the Chicago road; or at Cassopolis, already organized since 1831, crossing the river at LaGrange, or Whitmanville, as it was then called in honor of its founder, Martin C. Whitman. These were the only bridges across this cheerful river at that time in this vicinity. Post offices were already established at LaGrange, and the residents of Wayne went there for their mail, while at Sumnerville Isaac Sumner, who had in 1835 erected a mill and started the nucleus for a village, had been appointed postmaster and the Silver Creek people went there for the little mail that came, the system of collecting postage then in vogue making correspondence an expensive luxury. Only one year later, in 1836, Orlando Crane purchased and platted i60 acres in the southwest corner of Wayne township, in that portion of Dowagiac bounded- on the south by East Division Street, and west by North Front street, which he named Venice and placed upon the market. Not a lot was sold, although the fine water power furnished by the river which ran near, and the splendid country tributary to it spoke well for his judgement in selecting the site. Settlers came nearer and nearer, in the meantime, and about this time-some say earlier-William Renniston, who had moved into the country in 1828, built a carding mill just east of the Colby Milling Company's upper mill. The Renniston residence was across the marsh on the bank, directly east of the Lyle stock barns, and he crossed this low ground to get to his mill on planks. Holmes Spalding built a saw mill on the same water power about this time, and the location being the logical trading point for a vast territory north and south it was looked upon as the future market place by the people. Still, no organized effort 138 Historical Sketch of Dowagiac. was made to start a village until in1 847, when the right of way was purchased for the Michigan Central, then running as far west as Kalamazoo. By this time James McOmber, Geo. Hamilton and one or two others had located in this vicinity, and realizing the advantages of the location as a commercial center, Jacob Beeson of Niles, and Nicholas Cheesebrough, who was then engaged in buying the right of way for the Michigan Central, then running to Kalamazoo, purchased eighty acres of land of Patrick Hamilton in the northeast corner of Pokagon township and platted the village of Dowagiac, taking the name from the one given by the Indians to the beautiful river which winds through the place, and which is synonymous with "many fishes" in the expressive Pottawatomie tongue, the Indians of that tribe having then lived there about thirty years and following the Ottawas. This Plat was recorded in 1848, and from that date the village grew so rapidly that no less than sixteen additions had been made in the twenty years following, by which time it was the largest village in the county and the largest between Kalamazoo and Niles In the winter of 1847-8 Kendall and Phetteplace opened a store ina partof the and openedup Ira D.

This cured the job had been built of building S OAGA,to accommothe sam e. date the workArad C. Balch men on the came next road, and was vacant when occupied by Balch. This gentleman was the first postmaster, and the office was kept there for a short time. The next merchant to locate here was Joel H. Smith, who for some time previous had been in business with a brother, Ezekiel Smith, at Cassopolis. At that time LaGrange was a thriving village, having been regularly platted in 1834 under the name of Whitmanville, which was changed to LaGrange in 1835 by an act of the legislature. As early as 1829 Job Davis had built a sawmill there, selling it to Martin Whitman in 1831, who, recognizing the value of its water power conceived the idea of making] the place a manufacturing center, and possibly, some day, the county seat. Several stores existed there in 1848, and Harvey Bigelow, later a valued citizen of Dowagiac, operated a successful furniture factory. Mr. Smith's friends advised him to locate in LaGrange, and questioned his judgment in coming here. The wisdom of his choice has been shown in the history of the city in which he has ever since Historical Sketch of Dowagiac. I39 been an active factor. In company with his brother Mr. Smith, erected a building on the corner of Front and Main streets, afterwards. known as the Foster building, and which stood there for fifty years, enjoying the distinction of being the first building erected for that purpose in Dowagiac. It was a one-story affair, and is still in existence, being now the property'of Edwin Pattison, also a long time business man here, who has moved it to Indian Lake and converted it intoa barn for use in connection with his summer outings. The stock of goods for the Smith store was hauled here by team from Cassopolis in February, 1848, by Ezekiel Smith and M. T. Garvey. They arrived after dark, and had much trouble in locating the building as the virgin forest still covered ground, not a tree having been cut in the streets. They slept in the store that night, and the next morning Mr. Smith went to Patrick Hamilton's to breakfast, while Mr. Garvey found a boarding place with a carpenter who was working on the freight house. As Mr. Garvey stepped out of the store that morning he looked in vain to find a house, but nothing but trees and grubs met his gaze, except the freight house, and he remarked to Mr. Smith that it didn't look much like a town; to which Mr. Smith replied that it would be a town some day-a prophecy that has been more than fulfilled, although it took a magnificent stretch of the imagination to see it then. In platting the town, the projectors intended that Main street should be the business street. It was wider than the rest, and ran from the railroad grounds west. No doubt it would have been better had this intention been carried out; but the new comers one by one built to face the railroad and its contemplated park, and main street gradually became built up with fine residences. A much larger store was soon opened by the Smiths, which they conducted about a year when Joel H. sold the stock to Wells H. Atwood and went to California. Atwood took in a partner, a Mr. Carlin, and later sold his interest to Dr. Hale. In 1850 Joshua Lofland built a brick store building next north of the present Edwin Pattison saloon building, and in this building Mr. Lofland, Henley C. Lybrook and Gilman C. Jones-a trio that had much to do with Dowagiac's early successes-began a general mercantile business. This was the first brick building erected here, and in 1866 was burned during a fire which destroyed about $50,000 worth of property. The second brick building, and the oldest in the city, is the present residence of Mrs. Louis Reshore, on West Division street. Ballenger, Wagner & Co. came in 1851, and about this time Tuthill & Sturgis, H. E. Ellis, Becraft & Bowling and A. Van Uxemu engaged in business. Gideon Gibbs and Abram Townsend began. selling groceries in the same year. These were the first merchants, and all are now gone save Balch, now a resident of Kalamazoo, and Joel H. Smith, who is still a resident of this city. Rev. Jacob Price, then located at Cassopolis and a Baptist minister, who was closely identified with the early history of Cass county,. and highly respected as well,, preached the first sermon here in July 1848, to an audience assembled in the freight house. Rev. Richard C. Meek, a Methodist circuit rider, was probably the next, while Rev. S. H. D. Vaughn, of the Babtist church, was the first settled pastor. 140 Historical Sketch of Dozeagzac. Noel B. Hollister was the first resident lawyer, and M. T. Garvey the first justice of the peace. Mr. Garvey was deputy postmaster under Balch, and upon that gentleman's departure was appointed postmaster. The first couple married was Joel H. Smith and Sylvia VanAntwerp, still living here, respected, honored and enjoying the tranquil peace and happiness that comes to those whose lives have been well spent. Last year this estimable couple celebrated their golden wedding, and it was all the more enjoyable to them that of the hosts of friends who attended, but few were present who were not old-time friends; friends who had seen much of Dowagiac, and had grown with them The first birth was in the family of a laborer for the railroad, named Huleminsky, and a village lot was presented to the young pioneer. This lot was in the original plat, on High street, and is now occupied by Bert Shumway. The first girl child born was Fanny Wares, whose father, A. J. Wares, built the first hotel, in 1849, called the Dowagiac House. This was subsequently christened the Mineral Springs House, and then the Continental. It became the property of Francis J. Mosher and Benj. Cooper a few years ago, and later burned down. Prior to the laying out of the town, and for a few years after, and during the palmy days of the stage coach-that democratic vehicle of the dim past carried the speculator, the prospector and the pioneer to a common goal-the unknown west. Prior to the early 50's the traveler was entertained at James McOmber's, and the Humphrey line of coaches stopped there. The McOmber residence was just west and south of the present Daniel McOmber home, on Prairie Ronde street, and was on what was then known as the Chicago road, which came down through Volinia and Wayne, crossed the Dowagiac river just below the present A. VanRiper place, and continued to and beyond Sumnerville. As high as fifty coaches a day passed over this road. Those going west loaded with a crowd of eager, expectant sight-seers, and quite often the driver changed his course and drove through the little hamlet to show his patrons the embryo city scattered among the oak grubs. Nicholas Bock built the American House in 1850, which still does duty under the name of the Commercial; and Isaac Bull converted the Smith store building into a hotel about the same time. One year later, in 1851, Turner & Rodgers built the "Exchange," on the ground now occupied by the Robinson furniture store, and notwithstanding the fact that the country was new and thinly settled, so great was the influx of land-seekers, speculators, and actual settlers that all did a good business and prospered for a time. In 1850 occured the first Fourth of July celebration. A band of music was secured from Elkhart, and they stayed here two nights. One would scarcely think a community so sparsely settled could crowd the streets of even so small a town, but such was the fact. Ox teams were the rule, and they came from twenty miles away; came early and stayed late, and it was the happiest gathering ever seen in Dowagiac. Neighbors hitched their teams in the convenient woods, visited, ate their dinner together under the shelter of the oaks, listened to the Historical Sketch of Dozoagiac. I41 music, the speeches and the uproar of the enthusiastic anvil, and watched or took part in the games, the latter being a favorite feature of the Fourth's of fifty years ago. M. T. Garvey was president of the day, Rev. Justice Gage the orator, and George B. Turner read the declaration of independence, always a religiously kept observance those days, and now never thought of. Dowagiac has had many celebrations since but none that compared with this in its pleasurable features, and today the old residents say "We never had but one Fourth." As the first justice, Mr. Garvey was a man much sought after, the scarcity of ministers and his personal popularity making him in good demand at weddings. Frequently two couples were married at oke ceremony, and on one occasion he united three. Although elected in 1848, his first criminal case did not occur until the year following. This was for assault and battery, and while he was writing the warrant the offender came in. Upon being questioned he said he was guilty and having no money he was sentenced to imprisonment in the county jail, a log affair at the county seat, located in the vicinity of where the old court house was recently moved to. There being no constable at hand, he volunteered to go and find one, which Mr. Garvey consented to and after about an hour he returned with Ira D. Mosher, the first constable elected here, who took him to jail that night. The next morning the fellow dropped into the office, and to Mr. Garvey's query as to why he was there he remarked that the jail had such poor accommodations he had dug out and was now on his way to Kalamazoo, where they could find him if necessary. The man's name was Jerry VanWeimer, and he was not sent after. Dowagiac's next celebration was in 1854. The town had grown much since 1850, and it was proposed to make this a better one than the first. P. D. Beckwith, whose genius and indomitable persevervance has done so much for Dowagiac, had just moved here and located on the lot next west of where the Elkerton House now stands. He had a small foundry and repair shop, and to him went Abram Townsend with a request that a cannon be made for the occasion, abovt $50,00 having been subscribed for one. As may be presumed, Mr. Beckwith's facilities for making cannons were limited; but that did not deter him, and he cast the famous gun that for so many years heralded the advent of ehe anniversary of our nation's independence, and was so often used to announce the victory of the dominant party in an election contest. It weighed about 700 pounds, was graceful in proportions, and its lung power was enormous. Bright and early that morning it was taken to-the south park and discharged, and the shock broke windows in the buildings opposite. Then it was taken to a knoll in the north park where the firing was kept up until it became heated and a premature discharge took away Samuel Benson's left hand. This did not deter the enthusiastic celebrators, however, and the first day's experience with the gun was a busy one indeed. This gun is still in existance, and has a record of being always ready to do its share towards adding to the enthusiasm of our people, and never, except on this first day, caused an accident. Dowagiac rapidly grew into importance as a trading and shipping point, although for years after its birth the farmers north of here were often put to much inconvenience in reaching the place. Bridges had 142 Historical Sketch of Dowagiac. been built on the main roads, but in the wet months the high water in the Dowagiac swamp made travel almost, impossible; and the writer has been told by farmers in Silver Creek that they were often compelled to hitch their teams-which in those days were usually oxenon the other side and come across afoot to do their trading; and frequently it was difficult to get across in that manner. But the Dowagiac of the early 50's was not a very prepossessing place. Gilman C. Jones once told the writer that when he came here there was not grass enough in the whole town to bleach a sheet on. This was a figure of speech used to convey an idea of the barreness of the soil, and the resident of to day can scarcely realize how nearly true it was, when he sees the beautiful lawns that border our streets-streets that are splendidly graded and graveled in every portion of the city, making travel over them 'a pleasure. And while to-day no- city in the state can boast of as handsomely shaded throughfares, no concerted effort had then been made to plant shade or ornamental trees, and the bare white houses stood in the pitiless sun, unsightly and uninviting. But it was a busy place, withal. Chicago's facilities for handling live stock were not as perfect as now, and hogs, especially, were shipped dressed, and it was no uncommon sight to see during the colder months the freight house here literally filled with this product, awaiting transportation. As a wheat market it also gained early prominence, its favorable location making it a favorite point for both stock and grain selling; and during the shipping season the streets leading to the freight house would be thronged with teams awaiting their turn to unload, in some cases men having to wait five or six hours. In the early 6o's and for several years after Mr. H. F. Colby got control of the milling business here, which was in 1868, this continued to be the leading wheat market for a territory as far east as Marcellus and Wakelee, north into Van Buren county and west into Berrien county, and south to within a short distance of Niles, and Mr. Colby has informed us that it was no uncommon occurrence to see farmers here who lived fifty miles apart. And while competing railroads have curtailed this somewhat, in railroad circles Dowagiac is still considered one of the heaviest shipping points on the Michigan Central, only being outranked by Kalamazoo, Battle Creek and Jackson, east, and having no rival west, between Detroit and Chicago. For eight years the enterprising merchants carried their money for the demands of trade in their safes, or pockets, some of them acting as custodians of the funds of their farmer friends. Then, in 1856, H. B. Denman established a bank. This was a boon to the business man, and added much to the town's facilities for doing business. In 1865 Denman was the leading spirit in establishing the First National Bank of Dowagiac, and that same year Daniel Lyle and Joseph Rogers established a private bank. This was the beginning of the banking career of Mr. Lyle, a career marked with the most signal success, and one in which he enjoyed the fullest confidence of the public, from first to last. Mr. Lyle had for several years been conducting a shoe shop on the lot now occupied Edwin Pattison. In his business from ten to sixteen shoe makers were regularly employed making up boots and shoes for the trade, from the finest to the coarsest, and five or six men were kept at the bench making harness, and while today one shoe Historical Sketchz of Dowagiac. I43 maker could do the work that is done here, then all were busy and the busines was profitable. While not an emotional man, Mr. Lyle was charitable and public spirited, kind and just. The enterprising business man who merited help, generally found in him a friend, and he once informed the writer that in all his dealings of this kind he was never deliberately deceived but once; which speaks well for the judgment of the one, and the gratitude of the others. In 1868 Mr. Rogers retired from business and one year later Mr. Lyle became one of the principal stockholders of the First National, and was chosen its president, while Nelson F. Choate, still with that institution, now the City Bank-was made cashier. About ten years ago the banking house of DOWAGIAC'CITY BANK Lee Bro's Co., was established, which soon grew into prominence as a factor in financial circles, and the two now have in deposits nearly half a million dollars. Of the pioneer merchants now living, and the first who engaged in an exclusive grocery business, honorable mention should be made of the firm of DooDer & Mosher, who started in business on Commercial street, in the Rouse building. Francis J. Mosher's father, Ira D. Mosher, was a resident here when the roilroad came, and the son is now the oldest resident of Dowagiac-not in years, but in actual residence here. When Gibbs & Townsend started up in 185 1, Francis J. commenced his clerkship with them, continuing in that capacity until they 'went out of business when he entered the employ of Daniel 144 Historical Sketch of Dowagiac. Lyle, then running a shoe store, and where he stayed five years. Mr. Cooper's parents settled in Howard township, and his advent into Dowagiac was also at an early date. Their business prospered from the start, and later they moved to Front street where they continued for several years and until the hardships of such an active life became irksome, and they retired. Both of these men enjoyed a reputation for honorable and just dealing, and today they are living the calm, even life that comes to those who have few regrets and no enemies. In 1857 Horace and Gilman Jones commenced the manufacture of baskets'here, making them by hand and employing a few men. In 1862 a steam engine was purchased and the capacity increased until nearly fifty hands were employed, several agents were kept on the road and one hundred thousand feet of lumber were used yearly. It was a profitable enterprise, and Dowagiac's first factory. The machinery and good will were sold to Chicago parties in 1878, LEE BRO'S CO. BANK The oldest business house now in the city is that of Hirsh & Phillipson. This was established in 185o by Jacob Ilirsh, now of Chicago. In 1859 it became Hirsh & Jacobs, and in 1875 Hirsh & Phillipson. It has enjoyed a reputation of being one of the leading clothing houses in southwestern Michigan and a leading merchant tailoring establishment. In 1857 G. A. Colby built a custom mill on the site of the present Colby Milling Co's big flouring mill, at the head of Spaulding street. In 1868 H. F. Colby came here and purchased the old Spaulding mill, now known as the upper mill, and rebuilt it, Mr. Colby subsequently purchased the lower mill of his brother, and with H. S. Buskirk, who joined him later, expended a small fortune upon it in converting it into a first class merchant mill. The mills are now operated by the Colby Milling Co., composed of H. F. Colby, his son, F. E. Colby, and Fred H. Baker; and they rank as two of the most complete mills 9t7I ýo z P4 4 H4 0 146 Historical Sketch of Dowagiac. in the country, the product of the merchant mill being in steady dedemand in the eastern states. This company also owns a valuable milling plant Marcellus. In this connection it is of interest to note that Mr. Colby senior has been in active business in this city for thirtyone years, and C. L. Sherwood comes next, with thirty years of equally as active a business life. In 1854 a meeting of citizens was held to discuss the question of fire protection, and a committee was appointed to examine the stores and shops and ascertain whether proper precautions were being taken to guard against fire. In 1858 a committee composed of Joel H. Smith, Henry Bigelow and Ira Brownell was appointed to purchase an engine, and the old hand engine, which for years did faithful service, was purchased, and Hamilton Hose Co. No. I was formed. This company was re-organized in i880, and with changes, is still one of the important organizations of the city. This with the hook and ladder company and the independent companies of the Round Oak Stove Works and Dowagiac Mfg. Co. gives Dowagiac a good fire department, and one which has saved many times its cost several times. In fact, few cities of this size have as good fire protection, and none have more willing or ready boys to do service in time of danger. The first burial was that of Bogne Williams, on ground now in the vicinity of the corner of Green and Courtland streets and west of the former. Several others were buried here, when Patrick Hamilton donated the ground now known as the old cemetery. In 1870 Riverside cemetery was laid out and platted. It is a beautiful spot, and within the past two years, under the wise administration of our board of cemetery trustees is growing in beauty and becoming self-supporting. The Ladies' Library Association was formed in 1872, and now occupies commodious and handsome quarters on Front street, in a building donated by P. D. Beckwith. It contains nearly 1,500 volumes of standard works, is self-supporting, popular, well-managed, and a valuable addition to Dowagiac's many attractions and desirability as a home. The Union Fair Association was formed in 1879, and for ten or twelve years thereafter enjoyed the distinction of holding the best attended and largest exhibitions in southern Michigan. It is now a thing of the past, following the many, and preceding the rest, the days of these once popular gatherings seemingly being numbered. Three desastrous fires have visited Dowagiac in its history. The first, January 2, 1864, when about $35,000 worth of buildings were burned on Front street, north of Commercial. The second, January 7, 1866, when about $50,000 worth were burned on Front street south of Commercial, both of which fires extended to and destroyed property on the latter street. The third fire occurred on tne morning of June 13, 1882, and destroyed the block bounded on the north by Beeson street. In 1850 Ezekiel Smith established the first newspaper here, called the Cass county Advocate. Later it was purchased by L. P. Williams, who chrnged its name to the Times and Cass County Republican. In 1854 it was destroyed by fire and was never resurrected. That same year James L. Gantt established the Tribune, but sold the good will of the same to W. H. Campbell in 1859, who, with N. B. Jones, had Historical Sketch of Dowagiac. I47 the year before established The Republican. The co-partnership existed three months, when Jones retired, and Campbell, continued its publication until 1865, when he sold out to Chas. A. Smith. Later the plant came back into the hands of Campbell, who sold it to H. C. Buffington in 1868. In 1875 it passed into the possession of Holmes and Greenleaf, the former a practical printer and good newspaper man, still a respected resident of this city, and in 188o it was purchased by R. F. Kellogg. It changed hands again soon after, becoming the property of E. H. Spoor; then of Becrsft & Amsden, then Becraft, who sold it to a Mr. Rose; then Becraft & Son, and lastly to its present proprietor, J. 0. Becraft. The Times was established in 188o by W. M. Wooster, who in 188I sold it to A. M. Moon, who in 1885 sold it to James Heddon. In 1892 N. Klock esstablished The Standard, subsequently selling it to J. A. Webster, who changed its name to The Herald. In 1897 the Daily News was established by Chas. Heddon. Among the men who have been in business here the longest, and still in business, is James Coleman, who established a harness shop in 1867, and a few years later formed a partnership with M. F. Snyder, which is still in operation, and prosperous. Mr. Coleman has been here about forty years, and has missed few days during that time from his bench. The white brick store building was built by Ozro and Gilman Jones. They died a few years ago after a busy career, and with a record of having done much for Dowagiac. Both took an interest in the formation of the Universalist society here, and at one time it was one of the strongest church societies in the city. When the church was built Ozro gave $500 towards its erection, and Gilman also gave largely of his means. Both these gentlemen were active business men, and lived usefel lives. The white brick was built in 1858, and is a worthy monument to these two men. It is now occupied by Mark Oppenheim. It was not the intention of the writer to record the happenings of the past few years; that would be impossible. An effort has been made to collect and gather a few of the most important events of Dowagiac's earlier history-events that but for this work may have been forgotten a few years hence. In this we have been materially assisted by Mr. Francis J. Mosher, who today is the connecting link between the then and now so far as perfect memory is concerned, and the reader may thank him for much of the facts and data given. Lack of space has precluded fuller account; those who have been overlooked were not so treated because their work was not worthy of mention. One could write a hundred pages and then not be satisfied with its completeness; at least this is the writer's experience. In 1863 the Farmer's Mutual Fire Insurance company for the counties of Cass, Van Buren and Berrien was organized here. For several years it increased its membership slowly, owing to opposition from stock companies and in the 70's it had but. about 500 members. From that time, however, it began to grow into favor, and soon had a membership of several thousand. In 1893 it was reorganized. owing to the expiration of its charter, and today it has nearly, $600,000,000 iii risks, and is one of the safest and cheapest companies of the kind in Michigan. It is estimated that it has paid in losses to the farmers 148 Historical Sketch of Dowagiac. DOWAGIAC CITY COUNCII, in its jurisdiction over $390,000. In 1878 the Mutual City and Village Fire Insurance company for the counties of Cass, Van Buren and Berrien was organized with head offices at Niles. In the early '8o's its offices were removed to Dowagiac, H. H. Porter was chosen secretary, a position he still holds, and it has over $3,000,000 in risks, and is also a safe, solid and cheap company for the insurer. In the fall of 1896 the International Congress was chartered in this city, with Fred E. Lee, Kate Beckwith Lee, H. M. Lee, Julius 0. Becraft, H. M. Porter, T. W. Clyborn and other leading business men as its chief promoters. On March I, 1887, it had about 400 members. In that year Col. T. W. Cosgrove was elected counsellor and commenced the work of organizing assemblies. So successful has he been that the Historical Sketch of Dowagiac. 149 DOWAGIAC COUNCII CHAAMBER order now numbers 4,300 members and the states of Illinois and Ohio have been added to its jurisdiction. This splendid beneficiary and fraternal organization has had a success that is phenomenal in lodge circles, and the few losses it has sustained have been paid on proof of death, without the customary and legal delay. The Knights and Ladies of the World is another fraternal and beneficiary order that was established in this city about two years ago by some of our business men, and it, also, is growing in popularity and usefulness. In 1859 John Crawford and the late Dr. G. W. Fosdick erected a building on the ground between Farr's Sand Band works and the railroad tracks and commenced the manufacture of the Pitt threshing machines, the iron work being cast by P. D. Beckwith, who had been here since 1834. They were very successful and had accumulated a good plant, but burned out in 1868 and the shop was not rebuilt. - At the time of this fire Amos Knapp was a partner with Crawford, having bought out Fosdick. About this time Mark Judd was operating a planing mill, while in 1860 Amos Rouse had commenced the manufacture of chains at his factory on the river west of town, which has never stopped but once, when it was burned down in 1875. Mr. Rouse was preceded by Harvey Bigelow, however, who had moved here in 1852 from LaGrange and commenced the manufacture of various kinds of furniture. Reed & Van Vexem, both dead, built what is now known as the Hedrick saw mill in 1850, and in 1866 A. H. Mason, Charles Starrett and H. Defendort built a planing mill on the 150 Historical Sketch of Dowagiac. lots next to Crawford & Knapp, which burned down in 1868. These three men are still living as are Crawford, Knapp and Judd, and are numbered among our best citizens. The postmasters have been Arad C. Balch, M. T. Garvey, Noel B. Hollister, James A. Lee, William H. Heazlitt, William H. Campbell, Henry B. Wells, David W. Clemmer, Clarence L. Sherwood, A. M. Moon, Julius 0. Becraft and H. A. Burch, only three of whom are dead-Lee, Hollister and Clemmer. The Round Oak Stove Works, aside from the fact that they are much larger than all the other manufacturing industries in the city, have done more for the material advancement of the community and more in advertising Dowagiac throughout the land than all other industries combined. Less than twenty-five years ago, however, the Round Oak stove enterprise was so little thought of that the founder of the works was obliged to seek money to carry on his business from sources outside his own city. Despite discouragements and obstacles which would have overcome most men the inventor worked on with buoyant and hopefui heart, never tiring in his zeal and faith until time had demonstrated the unqualiffed success of the Round Oak stove from every standpoint. The stove works were established in 1869 by Mr. Philo D. Beckwith, who died in 1889. Mr. Beckwith had come here in ---- 1854 ftom Niles, having moved. there but a short time before from. Battle Creek. He first located on the lot next west of where the Elkerton now stands. Later he secured the ground now occupied by the Dowagiac Mfg. Co,, thought to be especially valuable owing toits water power. Here, in 1867, he made his first stove, for his own use, fashioned after the present. Round Oak, save that it was crude in workmanship and style. The attention of the Michigan Central was called to the stove-one having been placed in the depot here-owing to its wonderful heating qualities, and during 1868 he made several for the company, taking in exchange old iron. In that year he sold his location and at once commenced the erection of a plant for the manufacture of stoves and PHILO D. BECKWITH. roller drills, 'the latter being the invention of John S. Gage, of Wayne, and always considered by Mr. Beckwith to be the best seeder ever invented. In the latter part of April, 1869, the buildings were completed, and with a force of eight men and a small engine, he started up, melting i, 8oo pounds of iron II jj/) N -A '5' 152 Historical Sketch of Dowagiac. THE FAMOUS ROUND OAK HEATER the first day. The plant is now owned and operated by his estate, as there has never been a corporation formed. The works cover fifteen *acres, and some idea of the immense number of stoves daily turned out can be formed when we state that their melting capacity is forty tons of pig iron a day, all of which goes only into the cast portion of the stove, the body being made of boiler iron. Three hundred:and fifty skilled workmen find constant employment, and to the lasting credit of the management it may be said that there has never been trouble of any kind between employer and employes. Nearly all the workmen have been with this concern a long time, some of them since its inception. The management characterizes employes as first class men and treats them accordingly. The best service obtainable is thus secured and highest possible wages are paid. The machinery with which the buildings are equipped is up to date and has all been designed for exclusive use in manufacturing Round Oaks. The foundry and mounting rooms especially are the best provided for the turning out of perfect work rapidly and uniformly of any in America, every device which can cheapen the cost of production without impairing the -Historical Sketch of Dowag-lac.'5 153 THEr: FAM~OUS ROUND OAK RANGE quality and any method which will increase the output is pressed into service, so it may be said that the works are models of their kind. For over twenty-seven years the Round Oak has led the multitude of heating stoves. It was first made as a wood stove and sold in the immediate vicinity of its manufacture. Its merits were at once recognized and its reputation began to extend. It soon reached the coal fields of Illinois and the coal fixture was invented and added. It immediately took first place, revolutionizing, the heating stove trade in the bituminous coal sections. Its great success with soft coal created a demand for its use as a hard coal burner; the magazine was added and proved so successful that it was then guaranteed to burn any kind of fuel with perfect success. It fulfilled every promise--it satisfied every user-it excelled all others-its sales constantly increased until now it is-sold from the Atlantic to the Pacific, until its works are taxed to meet the ever increasing demand. POINTS OF SUPERIORITY. This phenomenal success is due entirely to its faultless design of construction, its perfect fitting, and high quality of material used. The one great essential necessity of a good heating stove is perfect control. of the fire. Unless a stove is properly fitted and absolutely air-tight and constructed to resist the effects of expansion and con Historical Sketch of Dowagiac. I54 THE ROUND OAK FURNACE traction and remain tight, control of the fire is lost and fuel and heat are wasted. This the inventor of the Round Oak considered the greatest difficulty to overcome. Expansion and contraction destroyed the usefulness of every heating stove made, after a few season's use, opening the joints and allowing leakage of air below the grate, thus wasting the fuel and losing control of the fire. Then came the famous seamless bottom, with extra large ash-pit, a triumph in the stovemaker's art. This was so perfectly proportioned that no degree of heat has caused one to fire-crack, the only successful one ever made. The usual ash-pit door, by its large size, would defeat the very purpose of the seamless bottom, so the ash-pit draft door was made small, minimizing to the smallest possible degree the chance for leakage of air below the fire, ground in, fitted absolutely air-tight, sheared under the fire-pot, not against it, the stove may expand with heat, contract with cold, still it is always tight year after year, saving the fuel, giving much or little heat as you desire. Just think, the very first stove, made twenty-four years ago, is in use yet, still tight, still holding the fire and giving perfect satisfaction. This is what has made the Round Oak the leading heating stove in the United States and brought into existence over four hundred imitations. Historical Sketch of Dowagiac. I55 Stop and think, here is a stove so satisfactory, so popular, that by its merits became so well known that over four hundred different manufacturers make imitations of it. No other stove ever manufactured in this country or in any other country, ever caused such a revolution in the heating stove trade or brought into existence such a multitude of imitations. This wholesale and wide spread imitation is of itself the highest and sincerest praise, and declares more forcibly than any language the writer could use, the truthful facts about the stove. Imitations are never so good as the genuine, and it is not surprising that the management has found it necessary in order to protect their patrons against the deception of imitators to adopt as a protection a saying that has become almost as famous as the stove: "See the name Round Oak on the Leg." THE ROUND OAK FURNACES. Within the past two years the management of the Beckwith estate have perfected a furnace combining the good features of the Round Oak stove and new and novel ideas in furnace construction. This seems hardly possible, in view of the immense number of furnaces on the market, but starting with the idea of simplifying the heating of a home by a furnace, they have carefully followed this out until now they present one absolutely air tight, giving perfect control of the fire, thus saving the fuel, a big item in furnace use, preventing the escape of gas, easily managed, having a large radiating surface, and made in the most compact form possible, while the construction is very simple. The Round Oak furnace is made in o1 sizes and it may be safely predicted that this furnace will soon have as wide renown as the Round Oak stoves. MANAGEMENT. The immense stove works are owned by the Beckwith Estate, of which William G. Howard, of Kalamazoo, Mich., and Mr. Fred E. Lee,, of Dowagiac, are sole executors, the latter acting as general manager of the stove business. The wisdom of his selection for this responsible position is shown in the fact that during his ten years' incumbency the business of the concern has increased five fold. Those who assist Mr. Lee in the management of the business are the following: Mr. Archie B. Gardner, assistant manager; Mr. O. G. Beach, sales manager; Mr. J. O. Becraft, cashier; Mr. Arthur K. Beckwith, general superintendent of the factory. The traveling department is represented as follows: Messrs. R. R. Elliott, George T. Adams, W. T. Lake, John Howard, W. N. Sawyer, Charles Starrett, John L. Parker, H. A. Mosher and Dyke V. Keedy. PHILO D. BECKWITH. To the indefatigable energy, indomnitable pluck and inventive genius of Philo D. Beckwith is due the founding of the mammoth stove works, and to his foresight and judgment credit should be given for much of the present prosperity of Dowagiac. It is a pleasure to write the history of a man such as he, whose name may be worthily placed among those of greatness, with a mind capable of grasping material things, with a heart whose every throb meant a betterment I56 Historical Sketch of Dowagiac. for humanity, and with a soul big enough to hold all men within it. Such was the capitalist, philanthropist, and philosopher who departed this life in 1889. He was held in such esteem by his family that the magnificent memorial building described elsewhere was erected to his memory. Fred E. Lee, general manager of the Round Oak Stove Works, was born in Dowagiac in 1858..His education was finished at Buchtel College, Akron, Ohio. His business career was commenced as book keeper in the banking house of C. T. Lee & Son in 1876. He continued in this capacity for two years, when he was sent to Quincy, Michigan, to take charge of his father's interests there. In 1879 he entered the service of Mr. P. D. Beckwith and for several years occupied various positions of trust until in 1882, he went on the road as traveling salesman. Five years later the immense growth of the business made it necessary to recall him to the home office, where he was placed in charge of matters pertaining to the sales department and FRED E. LEE. many other details pertaining to business routine. For several years previous to Mr. Beckwith's demise in 1889, Mr. Lee was practically in full charge of all office work, and after the former's death was appointed executor of the estate in connection with Mr. Wm. G. Howard, of Kalamazoo, and general manager of the Round Oak Stove Works. By reason of his experience in nearly every position connected with the immense works, Mr. Lee is peculiarly fitted for the position he holds, as is evidenced by the annually increasing sales of the works under his administration. Mr. Lee is a member of the firm of Lee Brothers, bankers, Dowagiac, and of Lee and Porter, manufacturers of axles at Buchanan. He is a large holder of real estate, both in Dowagiac and in the western country, and is president of the Buchanan and St. Joseph river railway, now in process of construction. In 1890 Mr. Lee was elected mayor of Dowagiac. In this campaign his popularity was shown by his receiving the largest majority ever given a candidate in the city. In 1891 he was sent as a delegate to the republican national convention at Minneapolis. Until the plant of the Dowagiac Gas and Electric Company was bought by the city, Mr. Lee was vice-president of that company. He is not a member of any secret order except the B. P. O. E. In 1878 he was married to Miss Kate Beckwith and his family now consists of wife and one daughter, Miss Mary. He is a first-class business man, and despite the constant demands upon his time he does not neglect his social duties. He is a broad Historical Sketch of Dowagiac. '57 gauged liberal minded man of affairs, conversant with life in all its bearings and thoroughly in harmony with the spirit of these closing years of the nineteenth century. Although his position makes him a leader among men, he is as approachable as any of his employes. He is known as a good fellow whom success has not spoiled. BECKWITH MEMORIAl1 TH3EATRE Probably no city in the United States or perhaps in tli6 world, the size of Dowagiac, has a temple of amusement which will at all compare with this beautiful play house. Indeed, while theatres with much larger seating capacity abound everywhere. few there are which surpass this one in architecture, decorations, stage settings, sanitary arrangement, and in the provision for the comfort for patrons, In its building neither cost nor expense was considered. When Mr. Lee went to Albert, Grover and Burridge to obtain the services of that firm in the designing and decorating of the interior of the Beckwith, he did not ask the price but said: "Design for us a fitting memorial for a great and good man, who in life was most appreciative of the sublime and beautiful in poetry, art and literature.- Do- your best and when your work is done present to us your bill." The result was an ideal theatre, a study in itself. to visit which is an object lesson in art. Such is this monument to the memory of the late Philo D. Beckwith. During his life time he had been a firm believer in the educational and refining influences of the legitimate drama. He was a man of such broad and liberal views that men of all opinions and creeds found in him a sympathizer. He was a noble man as nature is noble, retaining the good and throwing off the bad. When his great wealth brought him into a position of unusual influence, he did not, as so often occurs, leave the friends and city which had witnessed his earlier struggles and subsequent triumphs, but remained here, that others might share in his prosperity. It was therefore peculiarly fitting that his family should erect to his memory a play house worthy of the name it was to bear, which should in part testify to the devotion which all who knew Mr. Beckwith felt towards him. His goodness of heart and purpose was graven on the mindsof men, and a memorial building was to be erected as a testimonial of the gratitude and esteem in which remembrance of him was held. To Mrs. C. M. Beckwith, his widow, Mrs. Kate B. Lee, his only daughter, Mr. Fred E. Lee, his sen-in-law, and Mr. A. B. Gardner, his grandson, must be given the credit for the conception and execution of this noble piece of work. a-dTLVa[IL 'IVIROaKE HJIA&X3aa SAM~EIA OICEaIf~NI Historical Sketch of Dowagiac. I59 The Beckwith Memorial Theatre, dedicated by Col. Robert G. Ingersoll in January, 1893, is constructed of Lake Superior red sandstone with backwalls of brick. The building is 85xi15 feet in dimensions, and is three stories in height. The front has a genuinely monumental effect, the first story being a magnificent arcade of four great arches, with twenty feet to each span and showing the depth of the walls. On each pier is the portrait of a noted woman in bold relief, such famous women as George Elliot, George Sands, Mary Anderson, Sara Bernhardt, Rachael and Susan B. Anthony being represented. Above this space smoothly chiseled stone reduces the effect again, and the top story front consists of semi-circtilar headed arches which form another arcade. Upon the bay directly over the main entrance, is a large medalion portrait of Philo D. Beckwith, beneath which a magnificently carved panel bears the name "Beckwith." In the other front bays are portraits in medalion of Beethoven, Chopin, Rossini, Wagner, Verdi, Listz, Voltaire, Ingersoll, Payne, Hugo, Emerson, Whitman, Goethe and the immortal Shakespeare. The main entrance to the building is in the middle division of the ground floor front and is eighteen feet in width. This also furnishes the entrance to the corner ground floor room which is occupied by Lee Bros. & Co's bank, than which there is no finer banking room in the country. On the opposite side is the entrance to the post office which is fitted up with the latest appliances for the expeditious handling of the mails. From off the arcade a magnificent flight of stairs leads to the second floor, the front portion of which is occupied by the offices of the Beckwith estate. The stage is fifty feet wide and thirty-eight feet deep, with beautifully ornamented boxes on either side. Everything has been done with a lavish hand. There are fifteen elegantly furnished dressing rooms in which are all the conveniences for the comfort of the disciples of Thespis who visit this house. The drop curtain is a composite work of art. The general design is an original figure composition in classic Greek, and is monumental and decorative in contra-distinction to the realistic school and apparently inspired by the artist's study of the theatre itself. The figures are superbly drawn and painted, and the landscape portion is magniffcent. The whole presents a fitting picture by the greatest artists of the time. Each has done well his part. No one mind could have conceived it all; nor could any one hand have executed it. It will live as a classic work of art when its makers shall have passed away. The scenery is designed for the cyclorama effect which has been found so effective, and which was first used in the Auditorium in Chicago. By this arrangement a scene can be set as a street or a garden by simply moving the scenes which are profiled on both sides and top, anywhere desired. Every set of scenery is a finished piece of art. It is, after the latest fashion, lashed together with ropes and is capable of being made into seventy-five distinct stage dressings. All the ornamental work in the house is after the fashion of the Grecian school, and everything possible has been done to make this, the first memorial theater erected in this country, the most beautiful play-house in the land. There are 499 over-stuffed mohair plush chairs, dyed in a light fawn and flesh colors, 329 of which are in the 160 Historical Sketch of Dowagiac. parquette, and 170 gracing the balcony. The gallery seats 2oo comcortably. The problem of electric lighting of theatres has been solved in this house, by the use of a large switch-boord, in which there are twenty-five levers, and nine powerful resistence coils. The lighting of, the stage itself is exceptionally complete, four hundred electric lamps in three colors being utilized for this purpose. The heating and the ventilation have been well looked to, and there never was a theatre whose air was more pure and whose warmth was more regular and fomfortable. There is a roomy foyer and an abundance of fire escapes; in fact, nothing has been left undone which could add to the attractiveness and completeness of this house. It is a new and splendid model which time will demonstrate to be almost if not quite, the acme of human skill in architecture, design and decoration. DOWAGIAC MFG. CO. Mingled with the history of Dowagiac there is a portion of the world's history of grain raising, for it was here that a grain seeding machine was originated and built, which has become so universally popular as to revolutionize the methods of sowing small grain in nearly all parts of the world where this industry is carried on. In the early '6os, William Tuttle, then a struggling farmer, conceived the idea of perfecting a shoe drill-the chrysalis of the famous Dowagiac shoe drill. His first instrument had wooden shoes, covered with tin, and Philo D. Beckwith cast for him the first iron shoes used. This was in 1866. The mode of covering the grain-by the use of a chain-was the idea of Shep. Wheeler, a pioneer of this city, and the first chains used were made by James Wheeler, a colored blacksmith well known by our older residents. Messrs. John Crawford and Amos Knapp were then conducting a wood-working and repair shop, and with their help the first drill was put up and made ready for work. In 1868 the present site was purchased of Mr. Beckwith, and the manufacture of the drill was commenced, with a good demand for all that could be made. Lack of capital kept the output back until in 1872, when the factory burned down and Messrs. Warner, Moreland and Byers purchased the patents and erected new buildings. They put money into the enterprise and pushed its manufacture until in 1881, when a stock company was formed with $50,000 capital. This time the sales steadily increased, the output doubling every year for the next few years. In in 1890 Messrs. N. F. Choate, F. W. Lyle, C. E. Lyle, W. F. Hoyt and Charles Fowle bought up the stock, and from that time the plant has grown until to-day nearly 300 men are steadily employed here, and nearly i ioo carloads of drills are annually put upon the market. The machine was first made in 1866, and it being the only one of its kind for several years thereafter, was identified by "The Shoe Drill" but its advantages over older devices brought out numerous imitations which necessitated the change in name to "Dowagiac Shoe Drill." One by one the manufacturers of seeding machinery have been forced to recognize its merit and to build a similar machine in order to retain a portion of the trade, until there is not one of importance that does not now build a Shoe Drill.

As early as 1840 settlers enough had gathered about here to warrant the erection of a school house, and a log structure was built on the grounds where, later, the old cemetery was laid out. The first teacher was a Miss Hannah Compton, afterwards Mrs. Elias Jewell, and long since dead. To this school house went the Hamilton boys, sons of Patrick and George, the latter living across the river, the McOmber boys, and others. The school lasted but a short time when it was broken up and some attended the school in Wayne, just outside the present city limits, while others went to a select school started by Mrs. Henry Hills, then living on the farm now owned by William Moore, in Silver Creek. The log school house was afterwards converted into a barn by the thrifty Patrick Hamilton, and the next was built where the Methodist church now stands, in 185o. Select schools had been taught in the meantime, a Miss Copley having taught for a short time in the old "Cataract" building. In 1856 a two-story building was erected on the site of the present Central school grounds, and about that time the Methodist society bought the old one and moved it' to a lot on New York avenue, where it burned down in the '8os. In the meantime the structure built in 1856 burned down in 1869, and in 1861 the present brick building, or a portion of it, was erected, Joel H. Smith being the contractor, and the price paid $7,000. In 1864 the Ward school building was erected by George Spencer, for $5,00o. Space does not admit of a more detailed statement of the schools from the commencement to the present time, except to say that the citizens have wisely followed the plan of securing the best teachers, during all that time, some of whom have attained a State-wide repu ~91 (I) 0 7j~i1 7. 166 Historical Sketch of Dowagiac. KINDERGARTEN. tation as educators, and that Dowagiac's graduates have made their way in the various walks of life and found the excellent system of teaching that has always been a feature of our schools of lasting and pecuniary benefit, Under date of 1858, H. S. Jones, principal of the new Union school, wrote that the expenses of teaching these schools was $1,Ioo yearly; that four teachers were employed, and that the average attendance was one hundred and eighty. In 1890 the attendance had increased to 741; in 1892 to 784, with a corps of thirteen teachers, while to-day 1076 scholars draw public money in Dowagiac, and a corps of twenty-two teachers is employed to assist Supt. Conkling in the work of preparing them for an intelligent, useful citizenship. In addition to this large attendance nearly seventy non-resident pupils, paying over $700 yearly, are also pupils of this school, and as it is with the present we have to deal, it is but just to say that' never in the history of our schools has there been a better corps of educators in charge than now. Of Supt. Conkling, who was raised to manhood in this vicinity, and whose career as student and teacher has been watched with pleasure by our people, too much cannot be said. His earnest, conscientious work has been felt in every department of the schools, with the result that rapid progress has been made in a thorough understanding of the branches taught, while good order and perfect harmony prevails at all times. In this grand achievement, with its splendid results, he has the hearty co-operation of the excellent corps of assistant teachers with whom he is associated, and the respect of the school and confidence of the patrons, not only here in Dowagiac but in the neighboring rural districts. To such teachers is due our present large attendance, aided by our splendid compulsory laws, and to such teachers is due the fact that in Dowagiac to-day education is popular, and every student an earnest worker. In this particular Supt. Conkling has worked wonders. ,qoou~as qvuIýKaD a vToC3thQ8( 168 Historical Sketch of Dowagiac. The courses of study through all the grades are so arranged as to give the pupils a thorough, practical, elementary education. Studies most essential to every-day life and those best.suited to make intelligent, useful citizens are given special attention. S The High School Schedule includes all the studies required for admission to the University of Michigan. With its present relation to the University, students who graduate from any of the courses may, without further examination, enter any of the corresponding courses at the University or at any of the various Colleges, or other educational institutions of the State: Provided students of the English Course who wish to enter the University are required to take two years of Latin or two years of German. A steady advancement is being made in the equipment of all departments of the school. Upon the reading table of the High School are found the best magazines and periodicals for pupils' use. During the school year just closed, a complete set of cyclopedia consisting of thirty-seven volumes, and the Warner Library of Universal Literature consisting of thirty volumes, have been added to the library, through the efforts of the teachers and pupils. These books were purchased with the funds received from the oratorical contests, which have not only been financially successful, but have also incited a healthful- interest in oratory. Over two hundred volumes for the general reference and circulating library have been purchased with the regular library fund. Three years ago the physical, chemical and botanical apparatus, together with the chemicals, were stored in one large case in the laboratory. At present the chemicals are systematically arranged in a new case; the botanical apparatus, including ten new dissecting microscopes, is conveniently placed in the ninth grade room; and the old case is used for the physical apparatus alone. New chemical benches, carefully equipped, accommodating twenty four pupils in individual work, have recently been placed in the laboratory, thus giving us one of the best chemical laboratories in the State. All departments of the school are in excellent working order, although somewhat crowded for room. We hope that in a short time Dowagiac will be able to point with pride to a new high school building-a monument to her rapid growth and sterling worth. Pupils find it greatly to their advantage to be present and begin work at the opening of each term, though they are received at any time, and placed in such classes as their knowledge and capacity warrant. Special efforts are made to make it pleasant and profitable for non-resident pupils to become members and take special studies or complete one of the courses. Any one wishing to prepare for teaching, will find opportunity to take up all needed studies, and also to become conversant with the necessary amount of pedagogical knowledge, required of applicants for certificates. To resident pupils are offered the advantages of a free school with no cost except for text-books. Non-resident pupils can pursue a course of liberal study at a very moderate cost.

In the central, or high, school building Supt. Conkling, in addition to his careful supervision of the work of the assistants, attending to the course of study, etc., has charge of the history and civics, while Principal Green teaches the science and Greek. The other instructors are: Grant H. Dunning, mathematics; Eva P. Carnes, Latin and German; Flora Prowdly, English; Julia E. Miehael, Fannie E. Hutton, Laverne Bilderback, Dora Van Antwerp, Eva L. Park, Maggie O'Keefe, Mabel T. Rouse, Mattie A. McNair and Flora A. King, Eighth to First Grades A and B respectively. The third ward school is acceptably presided over by Miss Mary E. Conkling, principal, assisted by Misses Bessie P. Stenberg, Genevieve Howser, and Olive Benedict. The Front Street School, Miss Bessie VanHise principal and teacher of fifth grade, is assisted by Miss Phoebe Hunter, sixth grade, and Miss Antoinette Walton, second grade. This school is already full to overflowing, and in the near future more room is to be added. The arrangements of the different schools seems to meet the wants of the different localities, and the patrons have never had so little care or * trouble in sending the little ones to school as now. Several years ago a private kindergarten was established for the training of children previous to the time they arrive at the proper age to attend the public schools. The demand for kindergarten instruction became so general that it was ccnsidered advisable to add this department to the public school system. The interest in this work increased from year to year, and now we have one of the best managed and best equipped free kindergarten departments of any city of this size in the State. This department is located in a pleasant and conviently arranged building on New York avenue, with Miss Eloise Everhart, a thoroughly trained kindergarten director, in charge. The musical director is Grace G. Duncan, and is a valuable feature of the school system. 170 Douwagiac Churches. SREV. H. N. MASALES. Rev. H. M. Masales, pastor of the First Baptist church of Dowagiac, was born near Acton, Ont., Canada in 1861. His second birth took place in Acton in the First Baptist church in 1880, under the preaching of Rev. W. P. Hazelton, now of New York. He superintended his home Sunday School for two years. In Oct. 1882 he entered Woodstock College in Ontario, Canada, where he spent four years, lacking one term. In Sept., 1886 he returned to school, but ill health and lack of money compelled him to leave. In the same month he came to Detroit, Mich., from which place he was sent to supply the Baptist church at Manchester, Mich., for six months. After which time ill health sent him to Toledo, Ohio, for eighteen months. In June, 1888 he became the pastor of a new church, organized in Apr. of the same year, at Swanton, Ohio. This was also his first real pastorate, previous charges being supply. In June 1891 he became pastor at Mt. Morris, this state. After a two years pastorate here he went back to Ohio assuming the pastorate at Pioneer. After a pastorate here of one year and three months he resigned to enter school at Granville, Ohio, where he spent but five terms. After assisting in revival meetings at Franklin, Ohio, he returned to Michigan. Assumed the pastorate of the First Baptist church of this city. He is still on the field, and would remain until death if circumstances would always make it possible for the best interests of all parties. He believes in long pastorates when possible. But the history of churches is just the contrary. Dowagiac Ch urc/es. 171 g^--1:ii: BAPTIST CHURCH. The First Baptist Church of Dowagiac was organized in 1851. The present building was built in 1852, Rev. Vaugn being pastor. He remained nntil October ist, 1862. The following year Rev. G. W. Butler was called to the pastorate, remaining but one year. From June, 1863, to July, 1865, the church was pastorless. From 1865 to 1875, Revs. J. H. Walden, J. G. Portman, Conrad Jones, Dean and Read served the church. In 1875 Rev. M. Barnes served as pastor, at which time Rev. A. P. Graves held a union revival which resulted in good results for our church. In 1878 Rev. C. D. Gregory was called and served until i88o, when Rev. J. N. Chapman took charge for a short time. In the same year Rev. E. D. Rundell was called as a supply, was ordained by the church and did a good work, but resigned in 1883 to become state Sunday school missionary. In April of the same year Rev. E. R. Clark became pastor and remained two years. In September, 1885, Rev. Sanborn was called and did a good work for the church. He was succeeded in 1889 by Rev. H. M. Rose, who organized the B. Y. P. U., which has been a great help to our church. Brother Rose resigned January i7th, 1893. In February, I894, Rev. G. M. Hudson was called and remained until June, 1895, when ill health compelled him to resign. He organized the Boy's Brigade, also the Junior Union. He did good, faithful work. The church was without a pastor for one year. In June, 1896, Rev. H. N. Masales was called and is still on the field. During this last pastorate the Sunday School has about doubled in numbers, and in other respects the church is in good condition, excepting the financial part. This is owing to the fact that many of the present members are poor people. Still God is our helper and we wish to do His will. 172 Dowagiac Churches. REV. JOSEPH JOOS. Rev. Joseph Joos was born in Belgium, and came to Monroe, this state, when fifteen years of age. From there he went to Sandwich, Can., where he took a classical and scientific course in the colleges of S that city, later taking a course in theology at Cincinnati. He then finished his studies in Rome, Italy, and was ordained there, July 28, 1891. His first pastorate was here. ris ini the same year, with the parishes at t Silver Creek, Watervliet and Rush Lake, and he entered into the work of building up his church with the Senthusiam of one whose heart and soul is in his work, and the judgment and skill of a diplomat. He found Holy Maternity church in this city located in the outskirts of EV. JOSP JOs. the city, and in an unsightly place. Ground was at once secured in a fashionable quarter of the city, and in the course of a few months a handsome, large structure had been erected, and a parish adjoining secured. Repairs were made on the Church of the Sacred Heart of Mary in Silver Creek. The steeple was rebuilt, the interior frescoed, and the whole interior beautified, while the grounds were made sightly and pleasant. In addition to this the church debt was paid, and its 250 members now have the finest country church property in the county. The increasing membership at Hartford and Watervliet demanding a church in one of those places, he laid the matter before the bishop and was given permission to erect one at Watervliet. This was done and completed two years ago, and the parish there, consisting of 250 souls, now have a handsome edifice, capable of seating 300 people, and at a cost of $5,000. This is already too small, as in the summer time the resorters regularly attend this church to the number of two or three hundred each Sunday. He found the Rush Lake Mission composed of Indians, in a languishing condition, and by his example of industry, piety and constant attention has brought it into excellent order, and secured regular attendance and religious interest. All this has been accomplished since August 15, I891, and to-day the societies under his charge are prosperous, devoted and content. The membership numbers 950 souls, and this is steadily increasing. This year he has been granted an assistant in the person of Rev. Fr. McCarthy, a talented, worthy divine, who is also popular and doing the cause good. Dowagiac Churches. 173 wF ii 'cZ HOLY MATERNITY CHURCH. This handsome edifice, erected in 1892, is located on North Front street, in a fashionable part of the city, and its society numbers over 400 members. Prior to its erection, and prior to the coming here of Rev. Fr. Joos, the society worshipped in a church built in 1872, at the upper end of Orchard street, and which was dedicated by Bishop Borgess. Rev. Fr. Cappon, of Niles, was the pastor at that time, bein g succeeded by Rev. Fr. Ralper. In 1882 the society had fifty members, including two Indian families, and it was the smallest church in the city. The advent of Rev. Fr. Joos, with his zeal and singleness of purpose in religious matters, his untiring energ, his popularity with the masses, seemed to put new life into the society, and they met him half way in the proposition to erect a church in keeping with their position in society, with the result that nearly $15,000 has been expended in the erection of a place of worship, with its adjoining dwelling or home for the priest, and they have the finest property in the city. The choir of this church has always been a pleasing feature of the services, and in every detail and in all its devout exercises a religious integrity of purpose and purity of motive has been maintained that incites the respect and good will of the public. Adjoining the old church property is the cemetery, and, in keeping with all other duties assumed by this society, it shows care and attention in its neat walks, well kept beds and profusion of flowers. The present trustees of Holy Maternity Church are, Martin Harold, John O'Neil, John Biek, Henry Gebhard and John Mannix. 174 Dowagiac Churches. REV. W.W. WYRICK. This popular church workerand divinewas born in DeKalb county, Indiana, in 1854. He attended the tri-state normal school at Angola, and later took a three years course of study in law, intending to follow that professicn. He practiced one year at Ashley, Ind., but becoming interested in business gradually withdrew from active professional work and followed the latter vocation for several years. Early in life Mr. Wyrick became converted to the Church of Christ, and during this time he devoted much time to religious work, assisting in building up churches and otherwise advancing the cause of Christ. In this work his services were given free, and his purse was always open as well. In 1897, having given up his business, Mr. Wyrick came to this city and accepted the pastorate of the Christian church. This excellent society at that time felt the need of a pastor with Mr. Wyrick's splendid executive ability and earnestness of purpose, and from that time it has made rapid strides in usefulness and strength. Seventy-five members have been added to its membership, valuable Simprovements have been made in the property and the meetings are always looked forward to with interest. Duringthis time Mr. Wyrick has also found time to assist in establishing a society at Hartford. The secret of this gentleman's success lies in his unassailable character and earnestness of purpose, his democratic manners and his faith in his church. He is one of the most popular ministers in the city and enjoys the good will of the entire community. Doze'agiac C/hurcles. 175 CHRISTIAN CHURCH. The Church of Christ of Dowagiac was organized under the preaching of Eld. Win. M. Roe on the 27th day of May, '75. Following are the names of the charter members: Jonas J.

Finley and Lambert B. Dewey. The first deacons who served the congregation were Samuel Ingling and Jasper P. Warner. This band of disciples, originally consisting of twenty-three members, organized on the pr.iative Gospel plan, covenanting with God and each other to have no creed but Christ and no other rule of faith and practice but the Bible. In 1876 the church built at an expense of $3,000, its present house of worship. The pastors who have served the congregation from its organization to the present time have been Elders Elias, Sias, George Clendening,William M. Roe, Levi Dewey, M. B. Rawson, J.. H. Monday, R. C. Courtney, Arthur F. Willett. Zwingli Moore, George 0. Black and Willian W. Wyrick, the present pastor, who has served the church for two years. During this time about seventy-five (75) new members have been added to the church. The church house has been repaired at an expense of about $5oo. The present officers, which constitute the present Church Board, are Hiram Dillman and Elmer D. Angle, elders; Dr. F. H. Essig, William Case, Herman Grenell and- Henry Benson, deacons; Mrs. Levi Dewey and Mrs. James Hislop, deaconesses: Herman Grenell, church clerk; Frank Ingling, treasurer; Thomas Dewey, Bert Camburn, Harry Russell, William Case and Frank Ingling, trustees. 176 Dowagiac Churches. REV. CHAS. H. COUCH. Rev. Chas. H. Couch, pastor of the Congregational church, was born in Sacramento, Cal., February 18th, 1867. At the age of six months he was taken to Massachusetts, the native state of his father and mother,' and there spent the most of his boyhood years. It is natural, therefore, that he should think of the old Bay State more as his native state. His early education was gotten in Sandisfield, Mass., and Hartford, Conn. From Hartford he went to Lynn, Mass., and there spent five years. It was while in Lynn, working in the grocery business, that Mr. Couch felt called to the ministry and soon entered the Centenary Collegiate Institute of Hackettstown, N. J., to begin his preparation. After two years of study he was obliged to stop work on account of his eyes. He then returned to Sandisfield, Mass., for a few months rest and while there was called to the pastorate of the Congregational church. Where he remained four years. At the end of that time he resigned in order to take up his studies in Oberlin, Ohio,where he received his college and seminary training. In January, '98, he was called to his present pastorate. Mr. Couch was first licensed to preach by the South Berkshire Congregational Association of Massachusetts, and later by the Cleveland Congregational Conference of Ohio, and was ordained at Dowagiac, May 12th, 1898. Dowagiac Churches. 177 3. CONGREGATIONAI CHURCH. The Congregational Society was organized at the residence of Patrick Hamilton, Julyv9th 185o0, by Rev. S. S. Brown, an agent of the Domestic Missionary Society. There were twelve members. Milton Hull and Edward Cowles were the first deacons ordained in the church. The society worshipped in the schoolhouse and Baptist Church until, in 1855, they commenced the erection of a church edifice, which was completed and dedicated the following spring. The present roll numbers o108 members, and a flourishing Sunday School and Christian Endeavor Society are connected with the church. The following is a list of the present deacons and officers of the church: Deacons-Arthur Graham, I,. C. Howard, H. B. Wells, Mr. Balcome. Trustees-Mrs. C. IL. Sherwood, H. B. Wells, J. A. Webster, 1,. C. Howard, Frank Reshore, J. S. Harris. Clerk-Mrs. E. TL. Knapp. The following is a list of clergymen who have ministered to this congregation since its organization: S. S. Brown, Thos.

Vicborn, the pastor of Saint Alban's Episcopalfchurch was appointed in January of the present year, and during his few months' connection with the young church has succeeded in laying the foundation for a strong and growing society. Mr. Vicborn, still young in years, was ordained in 1891, and in 1892 was unanimously called to the rectorship of Saint Mary's Parish, Houston, Texas; subsequently becoming rector of Saint James Parish, Albion Michigan, from'whence he was transferxed to his present charge. He is a clergyman of recognized ability, enjoying the confidence of his superiors, and under his administration a large measure of success is confidently expected for Saint Alban's church in the near future. Several years ago he was married to Miss Florence Langston Jones, of Alcester, Warwickshire, England. Dowagiac Churches. 179 ]PISCOPAl4 CHURCH. The congregation of Saint Alban's Church was organized in 1897, with the following officers: Warden, Mr. R. W. Sheldon; Treasurer, Mr. R. R. Elliott; Clerk, Mr. W. G. Elldoitt. In June of that year the organization was admitted unto union with the Diocese of Western Michigan, under the jurisdiction of the Right Reverened G. D. Gillespie, D. D., Bishop. Until January of the present year occasional services by visiting clergymen were held,when the Bishop appointed the Rev. H. P. Vicborn, priest-in-charge. The organization as yet owns no property, the services being held in the unused Universalist building, by the courtesey of the board of trustees. An effort will be made in the near future to secure a permanent location. All the necessary departments of church work are fully organized and in good working order.

His early life was spent on a farm, to which he was greatly attached. He graduated with honor from Albion College in 1877. He entered the Michigan Conference of the M. E. church in the same fall and has taken a pastorate at the hands of the appointing power of the church from that date to the present. He is now serving his present charge for the third year. His method and manner is both clear and pleasing. Dowagiac Churches. i81........... X.. E. CHURCH. The name Dowagiac does not appear in the published records of the Methodist Church until the year 1852. Rev. Richard C. Meek preached the first sermon in the city in the "Cataract House" and afterward in the Railroad House. The official records of the Dowagiac church show that it was included in a wide circuit, the stewards being as follows: Franklin Brownell, Sumnerville; John Emmons, Peavine; James Boyd, Cassopolis; Peter Tietsort, Wayne; Dolphin Morris, Little Prairie Rond; Joseph Spencer, North Wayne; Charles T. Tucker, Decatur. The work was sustained previous to the regular conference appointments by worthy lay-preachers. Among these are found Harvey Parker, Milo Coney, Robert Watson, John Byrns, W. I. Jakways and Philo Simons. The church was organized by Mr. Meek, who preached here in 1849, and at once organized a class as the nucleus of the present church. It was first known as Wayne Circuit with George King as pastor. In 1851 L. W. Earl was appointed as pastor of Wayne Circuit. The next year the name was changed to Dowagiac and, owing to the growth of the place, became the head of the circuit. Rev. Robert Watson was the first resident supply whose 'home was in the place. The first class leader was Strawther Bowling. From the first forming of the work until the present time the church has been served by regular and competent pastors. Rev. Henry Worthington, who served the church as pastor at two different times, was stricken down with paralysis but two months before the annual conference. The present incumbent, Rev. G. A. Buell, is serving in his third year. The first trustees were appointed by Rev. L. W. Earl in 1852 as follows: Strawther Bowling, Aaron Henwood, Robert Watson, Samuel Bell, John Huff and Eli Beach. The present board of trustees are Samuel Johnson, Chas. Cory, E. E. Alliger, B. F. Fleminig and Mrs. Mary Lvle. The present house of worship was built in Y859 under the labors of E. H. Day, now deceased. The society has enjoyed a steady growth and prosperity. The Sunday school is under the direction of Miss Alice Johnson as superintendent, with Miss Myrtie Clars as secretary. The regular church services are well sustained by a large and intelligent congregation. 182 Biograpfhical Sketchzes of Dozwoagiac. FRANK W. RICHEY, (Mayor.) Mayor Frank W. Richey was born in the state of Ohio inf 1864, and with his parents moved to Pierson, in this state, when ten years of age. In 1884 the family moved to this city, and having learned of his father the trade of miller he entered the employ of H. F. Colby, the next year, at the age of 21, being promoted to the position of head miller which responsible place he has held ever since. Mr. Richey is a Mason, a Knight Templar and a Noble of the Mystic Shrine, and very popular with his brother members, being at present serving his second term as Master of Peninsular Lodge No. 214, F. & A. M. H. He also belongs to several beneficiary societies, among them being the K. 0. T. M., Tribe of Ben Hur, International Congress and National Union. Although never having taken a very prominent part in politics, Mayor Richey was six years ago elecctef alderman for his ward, the 3d, by a majority of thirty-eight, which was about that many votes ahead of his party ticket. Refusing to run again, he did not appear in politics from that time until this spring, when he was chosen mayor by the minority party and received a majority of 166 which was the largest majority ever given a candidate for mayor on that ticket in this city. The first two months of his term have been marked by a painstaking effort to promote the city's interests, a regard for the welfare of all, and an attention to details that bodes well for his success and for the city's welfare. Men have been appointed and committees chosen whose recommendations were a fitness for the places to be filled and under him the tax payers are confidently looking for an economical and progressive administration. In November, 1890, Mayor Richey was married to Miss Birdie Shurte, a popular young lady here, and he is blessed with the comforts of a pleasant home and family and enjoys his home life in a way to be commended by his fellow citizens. Starting out in life a poor boy, this gentleman's success is worthy of the fullest praise. Biograpkical Sketches of Dowagiac. I83 CHARLES LAMAREAUX, (Alderman). A majority of the members of the present board of aldermen have been chosen from the ranks of the intelligent, industrious, home-making workingmen; men who knew the value of money, and who were in sympathy with such measures as tend to improve our conditions. The junior meniber from the second ward, Charles Lamareaux, is one of this class, and his fidelity and painstaking supervision of such duties as have thus far been thrust upon him show that the confidence imposed in him was not misplaced. Mr. Lamareax was born in Steuben county, Ind., in 1861, and came to Michigan ten years later, locating with his parents near Battle Creek, where he attended the high schools of that city and laid the ground work for his future successes in life. He came here in 1892, and since then has been a trusted employee in the Round Oak stove works, filling the position of stove mounter, and doing his work well. He takes a lively interest in lodge matters, and is a member of the I. O. O. F., the K. O. T. M., and the International Congress. In relations with his fellow members he enjoys their fullest confidence and esteem, and is always to be relied upon to do his full share towards promoting the best interests of the societies in question. In citizenship he takes a front rank with our people, and for this reason, and those given above, he was this year chosen to represent his ward in our city council, although he is not a politician in any sense of the word and did not seek the honor. Mr. Lamareaux is happily married, and enjoys the comforts of his fireside and family as only the law-abiding citizen can, setting a good example to his fellows, and one that may be followed by all. 184 Biografkical Sketches of Dowagiac. ~-~i CYRUS TUTHILL. Dowagiac contains very few citizens today who are as well versed in its history, or who have been so closely identified with its progress from almost its birth to the present time, as Cyrus Tuthill. Mr. Tuthill was born in Orange county, N. Y., March 12, 1827. The original ancestor of the Tuthill family in America settled on Long Island in 1640, coming from England, and it has been a boast of his descendants through all the years since then that not one of them was ever arrested on a criminal charge. On November 16, 1852, Mr. Tuthill was married to Miss Francis Beakes, daughter of a neighboring wealthy farmer, and in 1855 they moved here. Before coming here he had gone to New York and pur-chased a stock of goods suitable for CYRIAS TUTHIII1, Alderman. a general store, and when they arrived he at once started in business in a wooden building located about where the present Bishop hardware store is. The following spring, in 1856, Mr. Tuthill took in W. R. Sturgis as a partner, and they conducted the business six years, when he sold out and removed to Hartford where he engaged in business for a year. In the meantime he had traded his residence, the present T. J. Martin property on Green street, for a farm in Keeler and he removed to it from Hartford, remaining there two years, when, becoming tired of farm life, he returned to Dowagiac and purchased the farm just southwest of this city, and moved there, remaining until 1879. In 1863 he had bought the residence on West Division street which has so long been the Tuthill home, and lately replaced by the present handsome dwelling he now occupies, and in 1879 he moved back to Dowagiac and to his property. In 1872 Mr. Tuthill was elected a director of the Farmers Mutual Fire Insurance company of Cass county, organized in this city. In 1876 he was elected its secretary, and held that position twenty years. This was the making of this company, as he at once set about placing it on a business footing and a paying basis. When he took the office the company had been in existence thirteen years and had 459 members and the assessments were about $5oo a year. At the close of his service as secretary in 1895 it had a membership of 3,735 and was one of the leading mutual insurance companies in the state, paying its losses promptly and giving the farmers of Cass and adjoining counties a cheap and safe insurance. For his valuable work in this direction Mr. Tuthill deserves and has the thanks of every citizen of Dowagiac, for it did much toward making for it a good name as an insurance town. While residing in Pokagon Mr. Tuthill was elected a justice of the peace, Biograkzical Sketches of Dowagiac. 185 RESIDENCE OV CYRUS TUTHIMIJ. and in the '80's he was elected a supervisor of Dowagiac, a position he has ably filled here three times. For thirteen consecutive years he has been a member of the school board of this city, a position he is now acceptably filling, and his total incumbency of that office has been sixteen years. Mr. Tuthill is also serving his fourth year as alderman for the second ward of this city, and he enjoys the distinction of being one of Dowagiac's most trusted officials, safe, conservative, able and honest. Socially Mr. Tuthill is an Odd Fellow, and we believe he is the oldest member of that lodge in the city, having joined at Middletown, N. 'Y).,in 1862 and taking a demit and joining the Dowagiac lodge after coming here. It is unnecessary to say that he lives up to the teachings of that excellent order, and that he is respected by his brother members. One of the many additions to Dowagiac bears this gentleman's name, he having, with Mr. Sturgis, platted in 1858 the Tuthill & Sturgis addition in the southwest part of town. In 1879 Mrs. Tuthill died, and since 1883 his sister, Mrs. Mary Lane, has resided with him, making his home life pleasant and comfortable. Three children were born to Mr. Tuthill, a daughter, now Mrs. Canright, and living at Oregon City, Oregon; Harry, for the past nineteen years a resident of Michigan City, and now judge of the superior court for the counties of Lake, Porter and La Porte, Ind., and Victor, now of Grand Rapids, and a manufacturer of saw mill supplies and employing about fifty men in the conduct of a highly successful business. Few men can have so many pleasant and commendatory words spoken in connection with their life as Mr. Tuthill. He has lived a life that deserves well at the hands of the historian, and one that is worthy of emulation. -186 6Biographical Sketches of Dowagiac. ELMER POLLOCK, (Alderman.) The subject of this sketch came from a sturdy, law-abiding parantage that marked the pioneers who made Cass county the prosperous and beautiful commonwealth it is today. He was born in Penn township in 1862 and obtained his schooling much in the same manner the average lad of that period has done, finishing his education by a course in the Cassopolis high schools. And it was due to a laudable desire to fit himself for a career of usefulness, and a perserverance that is characteristic of the man, that this was possible, as much of the advantages gained were the result of his own exertions. In 186I Mr. Pollock came to this city and entered the employ of the Colby Milling Co., and in April, 1893, he was promoted to the position of bookkeeper for that prominent manufacturing concern, which responsible post he has held ever since, giving the best of satisfaction and earning from his employers their confidence and esteem. In the spring of 1891 he was chosen by his party as alderman for the 3d ward, receiving a handsome majority. His work for the following year was acceptable to the city and his fitness for the duties of an alderman won for him this spring the appointment by the mayor of chairman of the finance committee and a member of the street and alley committee, two of the most important committees on the list, and he is putting in force his practical ideas and filling the position acceptably. In 1895 Mr. Pollock was happily married to Miss Augusta Holtz, and his home life is pleasant, only the duties of his office causing him to spend his evenings away from the circle that goes to make life dear and perfect.

The subject of this sketch has been engaged in his present business, that of biying and selling stocks and grains on commission on New York and Chicago quotations since 188o, when he moved here from Kalamazoo. Mr. Keen was born in England in I835 and came to this country at the age of nine. During the late war he enlisted in Berdan's U. S. Sharp Shooters and served in the union army one year, when he received injuries which necessitated his discharge. He then settled in Kalamazoo, where he engaged in the buying of wheat, and continued in that occupation until he came to Dowagiac in 188o. The voters of his ward have honored him by electing him to the council for ten years. He is a K. P., A. 0. U.

In lodge matters he also takes a lively interest, being a member of the K. 0. T. M. and C. K. & L. of W., in both of which lodges he enjoys the esteem of his associates. In 1895 Mr. Herold was elected alderman for the third ward, which has always been his home, and although not a politician in any sence of the word, he ran ahead of his ticket. His term was marked by a careful attention to the wants of his constituents, a praiseworthy care for the needs of the city as a whole, and a constant supervision of expenses and bills with the end in view that the work of running the city should be done as cheaply as possible. At the close of his term Mr. Herold refused to be a candidate for re-election but this year he entered the race and was elected by the flattering majority of sixty which was far in excess of his party ticket. His value in the council has been recognized by the mayor by the appointment of chairman of the fire and water committee and a membership of the street and ally committee; positions he fills with fidelity and intelligence. Mr. Herold is married and occupies a pleasant home where the comforts that come to those whose habits and desires are creditable to one' s name are to be had, and where himself and wife are always "at home" to friends. Biographical Sketches of Dowagiac. 189 s. w. EMMONS, (Alderman.) The junior alderman for the first ward, S. W. Emmons, is a workingman who has had to clothe and school himself, since early boyhood. He was born in Pokagon township in 186o, and resided on a farm until about 1870, when he removed to this city, his mother having died about this time. From then until large enough to go to work he attended school but at an early age he was compelled to go to work, which he did cheerfully, always looking ahead to the time when his bettered condition would give him time to read and improve his mind and fit him for a better understanding of the duties he believed himself capable of assuming. Fourteen years ago he went to work in the Round Oak shops as a moulder. He staid there seven years and after a short interval he assumed a like position with the Dowagiac Mfg. Co., where he now is. During this time he has always retained the confidence and respect of his employes and the good will of his fellow workmen, until this spring when this feeling culminated in the nomination at their hands, of alderman for his ward and his subsequent election. As a member of the council he has taken a careful interest in every matter pertaining to the welfare of his ward and the city at large, and his position as member of the finance and fire and water committees gives him a good field for his excellent ideas of city government. Mr. Emmons is a member of the M. W. of A., has served his lodge as V. C., and is respected by his bretheren in the order. He is happily married and has the respect of our citizens who respect him for his worth and integrity, his good habits and reliability upon all occasions.

In August, 188o, Mr. Antisdel moved to Dowagiac and commenced work for P. D. Beckwith in the Round Oak Stove works, learning the trade of moulder. In November, 1895, he was compelled to give up his position, owing to sickness, and from then until 1898 there Wvere times when his life was despaired of. In that year he was elected city treasurer by the remarkable majority of 167-remarkable because he was on a ticket that was greatly in the minority-and this year he was re-elected by a majority of 130. This flattering vote was made possible only by the fact that in Mr. Antisdel the tax-payers saw a man who deserved well of his fellow citizens; a man of good habits and a man who has been uniformly gentlemanly, honest and upright every day of the life he has spent here in Dowagiac. In performing the duties of his office our people have found the same courteous, kindly dispositioned man he had been in private, yet with an unostentatious strain of integrity running through all his actions that makes him the highly respected citizen he is. In 1889 when the M. W. A. was established he became a charter member, and that is the only lodge he has affiliated with. Socially his relations with Dowagiac's people have always been pleasant. He is married and enjoys the quiet of home, with his family, rather than the street, and is seldom seen except when business calls him in public. Biographical Sketehes of Dowagiac. I9' D. E.

As a lawyer, Mr. Hendryx ranks second to none with the county bar-a bar that is noted for its. splendid array of legal talent-and the records show he has his share of the work done and his share of the victories; and his genial nature and kindness to all has made him a popular advisor with those in trouble, or the many who seek council for the sake of avoiding litigation and trouble. In 1885, Mr. Hendryx was married to Miss Hattie Gullford, of Cuba, N. Y., and he has a family of three daughters to grace his fireside, as a result of this union.

JUWULL, (Chief of Fire Department). Perhaps no other gentleman in Dowagiac has held more offices and filled them more acceptably. than has E. B. Jewell.

Mr. Jewell belongs to the M.W. A. and Knights of Honor, is happily married and enjoys the comforts of a pleasant home, in common with so many of Dowagiac's self-made young men, whose habits, integrity and talents have produced so much for our city.

He is the personification of good nature, his fidelity is unquestioned, and his faculty for adapting himself to any position he is called upon to fill is remarkable.

In 1894, believing that he was fitted for a broader field, the doctor removed to Dowagiac, where he was already favorably known, and where he has had a busy and lucrative practice from the very start, his specialty being diseases of women and children. The doctor has had to make his own way in the world, and his schooling was the result of his own exertions. Such men are usually students and self-reliant and he is no exception to the rule. With this habit and characteristic, he possesses a keen, analytical mind, trained by nearly twenty years of active practice, and he seldom errs in his judgment. The doctor presides over a pleasant home, and his social relations with our people have been honorable and pleasurable. And while he is reserved and dignified in his relations with his patrons, no man could be kinder or more symyathetic with those in distress, while with those who are fortunate enough to gain his acquaintance and friendship no one can be more genial or companionable. He has been a valued addition to Dowagiac's excellent medical population, and the city was fortunate when he chose it for his home. 206 Biographical Sketches of Dowagiac...;- WILLIAM E. PARKER, M. D.

WILLIAM E. PARKER years 1894-5, which he spent in Iowa, and where he received a license to practice by the state board of medical examiners for that state, after the most complete and thorough examination by a board composed of the best physicians in the state. Dr. Parker has spared no pains nor expense to keep up with the most advanced and approved ideas in medicine. In 189I he graduated in the Post Graduate Medical School, Chicago, an institution which gives special attention to diseases of the eye, ear, nose and throat, since which time, in addition to his regular practice, he has made a specialty of the diseases common to those organs, and in the cures of which he has been remarkably successful. The doctor is possessed of a keen analytical mind, has remarkable skill in diognosing a case quickly, and is thus often times enabled to ward off an attack that might have proven fatal if left to develop self-evident symptoms. Added to this is a strong vitality that enables him to always devote his fullest attention to his work, a happy presence in the sick room that imparts a feeling of confidence to the patient, and a record of almost uniform cures in every case where he has had full control of the patient. In his work he is methodical and painstaking, never neglecting a patient, and quick to answer an appeal for assistance. This coupled with the fact that he is always ready to cheerfully advise and counsel with the afflicted, makes of him amuch appreciated physician. Biografpkical Sketeles of-Dowagiac. 207 DR. C. M.

Dr. Rix is a gentleman of such varied experiences and eminent attainments that it is difficult to compress anything like a comprehensive review of his life within the scope of a brief article as this must of necessity be.

Severing his connections with the schools he took a course at the University of Michigan, graduating from there in 1894, since which date he has been associated with Dr. T. G. Rix in the practice of dentistry in this city. Dr. Codding has been honored with office at the hands of our people on more than one occasion, having been chosen to represent his ward-the third-as alderman at a time when the city needed business men, and honest men; namely when the water works and electric light plants were installed, an undertaking that was carried out successfully and to the entire satisfaction of the people. In 1897 the doctor was chosen a member of our school board, and by that body elected its treasurer, a position he still holds. As this board has the educational destinies of the thousand and over pupils who regularly attend the schools of this city, one can readily see that the position is one of grave responsibility and one that could be acceptably filled only by the few. As a dentist the doctor is popular and successful. He takes pride in his work, is absolutely trusted, and his surroundings are always such as to disarm the most critical. As a business man he has also been successful, and he enjoys to the fullest degree the high social privileges of Dowagiac's most exclusive circles.

Yet with all the manifold duties her place as wife and mother receives first attention. In her beautiful home, "The Rockery," she dispenses a wide and bountiful hospitality. Here also may be seen on every hand evidences of taste and refinement in the rare paintings, bits of carving and curios from all parts of the world. Many of them collected by herself during her travels at home and abroad. "The 'Rockery," so named from its construction of field stone, carefully selected and laid with a rough rock finish, is situated upon High street at the head and facing Indiana avenue. Its architecture is Romanesque. The ample grounds with their pictureqsue effects in landscape gardening, miniature lake and rustic bridge, brilliant flower beds and vine covered summer house, form an admirable setting for the fine mansion. Ascending the broad stone steps, entrance is made from the vestibule into the reception hall, English in design with heavy oak ribbed ceiling, antique fire-place and andirons, bits of armour upon the walls, and broad open stair-case. Upon the wide landing at the turn of the stairs, rests a violoncello, made by P. D. Beckwith an d sold to help defray expenses when moving to Dowagiac, afterwards purchased from the owner and now kept as a priceless treasure.

At the right of the reception hall a door leads out to the porte cochere, while upon the left entrance is made to the parlors, and at the rear of the room to the library. In entering the parlors one is impressed by the dainty beauty and harmony in color in furnishing, from the Ambusson rugs to window drapings. The grate of Mexican onyx is surmounted by an exquisite mural painting, "Hospitality," the work of the Chicago artist, Albert Denent Grover. Two female figures, one bearing in her hand a bunch of lillies while extending her other hand in welcome toward the guest, the other figure seeking to give entertainment upon the lyre she holds. The beauty of the conception is most marked, as 214 214 ~Biographical Sketches of Dore.agiac. is true of all the paintings and decorations of Grover throughout the house. A life-size portrait of the daughter, Mary, by the same artist, shows the soft greens so noticeable in his "'Spring" in- the Chicago, Auditorium. Upon one side of the wall is a copy in marble of a sec*tion of the freize in the Dogs' Palace, Venice, while many gems of' art find a place upon ffhe walls. The library joins the parlors and is treated the same in color and design. It contains a fine private collection in. cases on each side and above the grate, while additional cases have. been added as needed. The dining room with its blue tiled walls is Dutch in treatment and design, being one of the most attractive rooms in thehouse. Among the many objects of virtu in this room are a decanterof cut glass, from the sideboard of Robert Burns, bearing the inscription: "Here's a bottle and an honest friend, What wonid ye have for mair, man? R.

The kitchen, complete in all- modern conveniences for cooking and house, work, conuectswvith the dining room by a hall from the pantries. At the right of the dining room entrance a long hall leads to the kitchen and back entrance, and also upon the right to the nu 'rsery and sittingroom.- The nursery or playroom is a feature of the house that must not be overlooked. It is a cheerful apartment in a secluded corner of* the house with bookcase filled with favorite books, cabinets of children's treasures, desk, baby piano and the delights of child-world in toys and dolls. It is a perfect home in miniature of which the littledaughter is mistress. Upon the second floor are the sleeping apartments, complete with wardrobe, dressing room and bath. Particularly attractive are- the guest chamber, "Empire in detail with Empire canopy bed;the Gothic room quaint and simple in design and finishing, and Mrs. Lee' s own room, which has been photgraphed by several leading art. and literary journals. It contains many unique features, among them a panel above the grate containing photographs of little Mary from. babyhood. The Den upon the third floor is a large oriental apartment* with Persian rugs, Turkish divans and rich decorations. It is a vertiable museum of antiquities and curios, many of them collected by Mrs.. Lee when abroad. Among the objects of interest are inlaid chairs and, tabouret from Constantinople, weapons and shield from the Soudan, saddle bags from Damascus, silk prayer rugs of the Mohammedans and, a bas relief of Isis showing the source of the Nile from Karnak; fly, brushes from Mexico; wearing apparel from Greece, Syria and Turkey and many relics of Mexican and North American Indians. Of' local interest is a firemen' s trumptet, presented to the winning firecompany of Dowagiac at a tournament held in Kalamazoo in 1 873, and afterwards given to Mr. Beckwith- by the company. Also the first Round Oak stove made, still in good condition. Stepping from the Den out upon a wide balcony at the front of the house a fine commanding view of the surrounding country may be obtained. The necessary limitations of so brief, a sketch prevent a detailed description of the many artistic features in construction, the rare and beautiful woods used in the different rooms, the harmony of color in the exquisite decorations that combine to make it one of the most beautiful homes in.

He has also held the office of City Attorney five terms. He is an active member of the Dowagiac Fire Department and is proud of the fact that he has the record of the longest continuous service of any of its members, having joined Old Hamilton Hose Co. No.i, in 1885. He is a member of nearly all the Fraternal Societies of the city and enjoys the relaxation from business which attendance on their meetings and duties gives him. He is particularly prominent in Masonry, having taken all the degree of that institution, save the 33rd and last, and, in nearly all the bodies of which he has either held the highest office or is now in line for the same. He has a fine law library and a large and lucrative practice to which he brings health, strength and ability, which makes him at once a formidable opponent and a powerful advocate. 222 Biographical Sketches of Dowagiac. MR. AND MRS. A. R. SHAW. These popular hotel people have only resided in Dowagiac five years, but in that time have gained the friendship and good will of a majority of our people, and their fame as proprietors of the Shaw House has given them a favorable reputatian among lovers of a good table, where unsurpassed cookery is always to be found, and where cleanliness and home comfort are not wanting. Mr. Shaw was born in Volinia, this county, in 1847, his father being a decendant of a wealthy Virginia family and his mother being a native of Maryland. His boyhood days were spent upon a farm and upon attaining his manhood he spent a few years as a traveling salesman, learning the carpenter's trade, which he followed until he came here, and with good success. Mrs. Shaw, nee Stella Potter, was born in Vicksburg, this state, in 1858. She came of a race of hotel people, her father engaging in that business at the age of 18 and following it for 40 years, while her mother was born in a hotel, as was the daughter, now Mrs. Biographical Skeethes of Dozeagiac. 223 /./.................. BOARDING HOUSE OI MRS. A. R. SHAW. Shaw, who, under the tutelage of such thoroughly posted and successful parents grew up to womanhood. After their marriage they resided at Little Prairie until five years ago when they moved to this city and rented the building on Front street just below and opposite the depot, which they named the Shaw House and which has steadily grown into favor with our people and the traveling public ever since. In gaining this enviable reputation no pains have been spared to set before their guests the very best the market affords and in plentiful quantity, as to the cookery it is sufficient to say that in this direction no one has ever been heard to complain, for everything comes to the table in an attractive manner and perfect in its preparation. They have been a valuable addition to Dowagiac's hotel population and are pleased to see that they are appreciated. They have one daughter, who is happily married to Mr. Edward Hislop, a well known and industrious citizen residing here in the city. t~) (I) H z 0 0 z (I) H z 0 0 z Biographical Sketches of Dowagiac. 225 J. o. BECRAFT, (Postmaster.) Of the sons born in Dowagiac during the years from 1848 to 1850 none are now living except the subject of this sketch, whose birth occurred in the latter year, thus giving him the honor of being Dowagiac's oldest native. And he has proven to be a worthy representative of his birth place, a man to whom responsible positions have come, and who has filled them acceptably and well. For fourteen years Mr. Becraft was recorder of this city, and has beena deputy postmaster twelve years, serving under William Campbell, David Clemmer and Clarence Sherwood. He was postmaster under President Harrison, and is now postmaster under President McKinley. For several years past he has been the trusted cashier of the Beckwith estate, having under his charge grave responsibilities and important matters daily. In addition to the onerous duties of the above offices he is also Supreme Record Keeper of the International Congress, another responsible position which requires a portion of his time and care, and lastly he is editor and owner of the Dowagiac Republican and shapes its policy and aims. And yet there has been scarcely a year in the past twenty-five when he was not just as busy as he is today. Socially, Mr. Becraft is also popular, and he is a Mason, a Knight Templar, a Shriner, an Elk, a Woodman, and a member of the Royal Arcanum. In fact, it is only at the various functions of the lodges to which he belongs that he gets recreation and rest. Mr. Becraft is happily married, and has one son, Fred E. Becraft, who is the popular doputy postmaster and takes from his shoulders much of the care of that office. His home is one of the finest in the city, and its doors are always open to his friends who find him generous in his hospitality and always ready to assist in time of trouble. He is a typical son of Dowagiac, and one of its busiest men. 226 226 Biographical Sketches of Dowag-iac. C. S. HUBBARD. Nearly forty years ago A. H. Hubbard, a pioneer, who had much to do with the early successes of Dowagiac, started a livery business in this city, which is still in operation and one of the leading stables in southwestern Michigan. In 188o his son, C. S. Hubbard, took possession of the business, made radical changes in its equipment, extended its usefulness and made it a popular resort for horsemen and the public. Good business habits in Mr. Hubbard show their effects in attractive vehicles, and of the most luxurious kind. Ehvery department of the business shows care, neatness and order,, and the most fastidious lady or tradesman does not hesitate to go to the well appointed office when in want of anything in that line. Seeing the needs of the city for a line of conveyances to care for the public in case of funerals, Mr.' Hubbard added to his stock a fashionable costly hearse, and the necessary and proper carriages. It is due to this gentleman's enterprise that many Chicago people were lead to spend their summers at Sister ILakes, and incidently to spend much money here, as hiý made it possible by an arrangement with the railroad company for one to buy his ticket there for their destination, thus saving the resorter the trouble of securing transportation in a strange city. Mr. Hubbard' s motto has been to give the best service possible, and the public has shown its appreciation of his enterprise. Socially, he is a favorite and always finds time to entertain or visit. He is a busy man, withal, as besides his fine livery business, the demands of the public in case of funerals, he also has charge of the largest ice delivery trade in this part of the state, and operates a street sprinkler. He is a M. W. A. and K. P. in good Standing. Biographical Sketches of Dowagiac. 227 EUGENE GILBERT. This popular and successful business man was born in Silver Creek township, and after attaining a good district school education attended school at Valparaiso, taking the four years' business and literary course, graduating in both. Shortly after his return home, and while holding the office of clerk of his township, to which he had been elected twice, Mr. Gilbert removed to this city and engaged in the furniture business. This was in 1885, since which time he has built up the leading business of that character in the county, until today he carries a stock that fills three floors and a basement, and one half of the upper story of an adjoining building, thus giving his patrons the advantage of selecting from almost any style made, and of buying from a dealer who pays cash for everything he buys, and can sell cheaper than those who buy on time. Mr. Gilbert is courteous and accommodating with his customers and enjoys their confidence. As a funeral director he is, perhaps, best known, however, his thorough knowledge of the duties connected therewith, obtained after a course of study in a prominent embalming school in Chicago and also by several years of successful practice, making him in constant demand. In this department of the business Mr. Gilbert's excellent executive ability stands him in good stead, also socially, he enjoys the privileges usually accorded the gentleman and upright citizen, and his elegant home on Spruce street is one of the most attractive in the city. He is a Knight Templar, a Noble of the Mystic Shrine, K. P., K. 0. T. M. and Modern Woodman. 228 Biographical Sketches of Dowagiac. THEO. COOK.

Richard Salter, Supreme Rear Admiral Knights and Ladies of the World was born May 7, 1853, in Cornwall, near St. Kew, England. England has furnished our country many patriotic and industrious sons, but none are fuller of patriotism, industry and perseverance than the subject of this sketch. He came to Canada at the age of 18, where he resided six years, as a kind of second-cousin to Uncle Sam. In order to become a full fledged member of this latter gentleman's family, he removed to Dowagiac in 1877, where he has since resided. In the same year he was married to Miss Ellen Harness, a prepossessing young woman of Port Hope, Canada. He worked in the Round Oak Stove works for thirteen years, being foreman four years. Later he held the responsible position of stove inspector. Mr' Salter has been successfully interested in a number of business enterprises and is at present proprietor of the Troy laundry, an institution that is up-to-date in method and workings. He is one of Dowagiac's whole souled, energetic business men. The Knights and Ladies of the World have a true fraternal brother in Mr. Richard Salter. He is a member of the K. of P., also past commander of the K. O. T. M. 230 Biographical Sketches of Dowagiac. THOMAS JEFFERSON MART.N. Thomas Jefferson Martin was born at Shelbyville, Tenn., June 12th, 1820, and reared in Florence, Alabama. For many years he was a barber, plying his trade on the palatial boats of the Mississippi river. In 1847 he made Madison,Ind., his home and was there married. In 1855 he moved to Dowagiac and opened a barber shop, and has since made this city his home. Mr. Martin was the first man to introduce and maintain a free school for colored people in Indiana. He is also high up in Masonry, being a 33rd degree Mason. For many years he has been Grand Master of the Colored Free and Accepted Ancient York Masons (compact) of the State of Michigan, and Grand Lecturer and Grand Treasurer of the National Lodge of that order. He is enthusiastic in lodge work, as he is in everything else that he undertakes. He is well and favorably known by all the citizens of this city and adjoining country as a fluent speaker and has taken part in many of the political campaigns during the last thirty years. Although well along in years he is still found attending to his business with all the vim and certainty of his younger days. HISTORICAL SKETCH OF CASSOPOLIS. BY LOWELL H. GLOVER. Cassopolis was organized in 1831. On the 19th day of November of that year the plat of the village was duly recorded. Prior to that date, perhaps the year before, the county seat was located on the bank of Diamond Lake by three commissioners appointed by Gov. Porter. This infant village was known as Geneva and was a part of the farms for many years owned and occupied by George Moon and his two sons, John C. and Benjamin F., all deceased, now the property of C. W. Hughes, James H. Leach and Dr. Horace H. Phillips. The commissioners who located the county seat at the then to be village, were Martin C. Whitman, (for whom Whitmanville, now LaGrange, was named), Hart L. Stewart and James Sibley. This site of the capital of the county appears to have been unsatisfactory for some reason or other, for on the 4th day of March, 1831, the Territorial Legislative Council passed an act setting aside the location of these commissioners at Geneva and authorizing the governor, by and with the consent of the council, to appoint three other commissioners to examine the proceedings bythe former commissioners in the selection of that site, and toconfirm the same or make a new location, as the public interest might in their opinion require. The three commissioners named by authority of the Act were George A. O'Keere, Thomas Rowland and Henry Disbrow, for whom three streets in the villrge running north and south are named, the one passing the M. C. railroad depot, the one on which the M. E. church is located and the first street west of Broadway, respectively. Soon after the first commissioners, who were accused of having withheld their determination to make Geneva the county seat until they had purchased all the lands in that vtcinity, had made their report to their governor. Elias B. Sherman and Alexander H. Redfield, two young lawyers, became very much interested in having the location changed, and with that idea in view they bought from the United States government eighty acres of land in Section 26, being that part of the village west of O'Keefe street and north of State street. They then interested and associated with themseves Abram Tietsort, who added forty acres in Section 35, Oliver Johnson, who added twenty acres from Section 25, and Ephraim McLeary who added a sinilar number of acres in Section 36, and at once proceeded to plat the land and to have the plat recorded. A name for the proposed village was made for that purpose, the first syllable being in honor of Geneal Cass and the remainder of the name meaning city or village. Geographically, Cassopolis is one mile west and one-fourth mile south of the of the center of the county. On platting the village Broadway and State streets were made six rods wide, the former designated as the mer 232 Historical Sketch of Cassopolis. idian line and the latter as base line, from which the blocks were numbered north and south, east and west. All the other streets were four rods in width. In 1875 a special charter was granted by the legislature by which the corporate limits were extended a quarter of a mile on the north and south. The village continued under this charter until February 25th, 1895, when it became subject to Act No. 3 of the Session Laws of 1895. The present officers are, President, Geo. M. Kingsbury; clerk, Eber Reynolds; trustees, Lester Graham, W. B. Hayden, I. V. Sherman, H. D. Jones, D. L. Kingsbury, R. C. Atkinson; treasurer, H. C. French; assessor, C. C. Nelson; marshal, D. F. McIntosh. The Fire Department consists of a chief and twenty members, a president and secretary. The village owns a hose cart.and, 200 feet of hose, and hook and ladder trucks and the usual implements belonging to trucks of that kind. At the intersection of those streets a "Public Square," so called, was designated on the plat for public buildings. It was 26 rods north and south and 20 rods east and west and of course divided by the streets so as to make four separate and distinct quarters. On the north east quarter was the old frame court house, now on the corner of State and Disbrow streets and the first brick jail torn down about twenty years ago, and the location of the new court house. The remainder of this tract of land known as the Public Square remained vacant and was unoccupied until 1860 when the brick building occupied by the county offices sometimes called 'The Fort," was erected. As one of the inducements for locating the county seat here Messrs. Sherman, Redfield, Tietsort, Johnson and McLeary proposed to donate to the county one-half of the village plat, which they did. This and other inducements had the desired effect and on the 19th day of December Stevens T. Mason, acting governor of the territory, issued a proclamation reciting the act of the council above referred to and the fact that the commissioners, by their report signed by them had located the seat of justice for Cass county at a point on the southeast quarter of section twenty-six, forty rods from the south-east corner of that section. Therefore, the governor said: "By virtue of the authority in me vested by said act, and in conformity with said report I do issue this proclamation establishing the seat of justice of the said county of Cass at the said point described as aforesaid." The first public building erected was a jail, the money, or at least a portion of it being raised by subscription. At a meeting of the supervisors held on the 31st day of March, 1832,it was resolved to build a jail the dimensions of which were to be 15 by 30 feet, one story high, with a partition through the middle, to be built of hewn logs one foot square, to have two windows and two doors and to cost not to exceed three hundred and fifty dollars. The contract was awarded to Eber Root and John Flewelling. For some reason not known the building was not completed within the time mentioned in the contract, but was accepted, and was ready for occupancy early in 1834. Henry H. Fowler, the sheriff who lived at Geneva protested against the acceptance of the building alleging that it was unsafe for the confinement of criminals and debtors. In March of that year the supervisors recommended that it be floored and lined with plank. This was done and Hitorical Sktchz of Cassopolis. 233 CASS COUNTY JAIIl. the logs under the planks were driven full of nails and bound with strap iron so as to make exit more difficult. The lock once used upon this jail is now a relic in the pioneer museum and is about the size of the windows in the building. This jail stood on the lot nearly south of the residence of Judge and Mrs. Garvey where it stood until about thirty years ago, when it was torn down. The jailor's residence, a frame building standing about six feet east of the jail, has since remained upon the lot until April 22, 1899, when it was moved onto E. H. Miller's adjoining lot and converted into a paint shop. When the plat of Cassopolis was recorded there was not a dwelling house within its bounds. Abram Tietsort, jr., had a log cabin on the bank of the lake near the place where the ice houses now stand, but it was south of the village plat. Very soon building commenced. Ira B. Henderson erected a double log cabin and opened a tavern therein on the lot directly west of the Phelp's store building; John Parker put up a hewed log house on lot 5, block one south, range i west, and in the spring of 1832 Messrs. Sherman and Redfield built a large frame house on the west side of the northwest quarter of the public square, the building now occupied by Mrs. C. M. Bisbee. This 234 Historical Sketch of Cassofolis. OLD COURT HOUSE, CASS COUNTY. was the first frame dwelling house erected on the plat and after several additions were made to it, it became a village tavern. During this year the Silvers put up the "old red store," the building which has been moved west and now stands on Disbrow street, and Eber Root built a frame building on the site of Hotel Goodman which was removed several years ago and became the planing mill. In the Abram Tietsort cabin was the first birth, that of Julia A. Tielsort -(Mrs. Gates)-now of Detroit, born July 3, 1830. The first death was that of Jason R. Coates which occurred August 7, 1832. He was killed by being dashed against a tree by a saddle horse which had become unmanageable and was running away. This was within the limits of the old part of the village cemetery and was the beginning of a burying ground. The second death was that of Mrs. Eber Root, in 1832. Upon January i, 1833, was celebrated the first wedding, the contracting parties being Elias B. Sherman and Sarah,.only daughter of Jacob Silver. The first school teacher in the village was a Mrs. Beech who taught in the little log cabin near if not the same building hereafter mentioned as the residence of Mrs. Kimmerle. Abram Tietsort, Jr., a. cabinet maker, was the first resident mechanic. Dr. H. H. Fowler, the first physician and Bishop Chase, an Episcopalian, was the first minister to hold religious services which he did in the winter of 1832 and 1833 holding his meetings in the loft of the Silver Store. In 1835 in addition to the early building already mentioned there had also been erected seven others, viz: a distillery which stood on the shore of the lake west of Disbrow street; a little house on the lot now covered by Historical Sketch of Cassopolis. 235 Mclntoshes cigar store and Beardsley & Garvey's barber shop, occupied by Mrs. Catherine Kimmerle, mother of Henry Kimmerle; one occupied by David Root; the house occupied by Rev. O. P. Miller; a story and a half house on the lot where stands G. C. Underhill's grocery; the building now,.occupied by Samuel McDonald and family, and a one story log -cabin near the lake occupied by "Deaf Dick" and "Aunt Peggy,"-both of whom were deaf and dumb. In the spring of 1832 Jacob Silvers who was in business at Edwardsburg with his brothers H. and B. F., came with a stock of merchandise and began business in a part of Hendersons tavern. About the same time Robert Painter commenced selling goods from a small building at the southeast corner of the public square. January 24, 1832, Eber Root and Allen Monroe were licensed to keep tavern by the LaGrange town board, "the board considering taverns a necessity and the applicants being of good moral character and of sufficient ability to keep tavern." In October of this year a contract was taken by Joseph Harper to erect and furnish a court house on the lot now owned by Mrs. T. A. Boyd adjoining her residence on the south. This building was to be a log structure 24x34 feet and ten feet high to be divided into three rooms, at a cost not to exceed four hundred and fifty dollars. The population of the county increased rapidly and within five years it was found that the log court house was of insufficient capacity for the accommodation of the court and litigants, and in February, 1839, the board of county commissioners, David Hopkins, Henry Jones and James W. Griffin, decided to erect a new edifice. On the 7th day of that month the commissioners entered into a contract with Jacob Silver, Alexander H. Redfield, Joseph Harper, Asa Kingsbury and Darius Shaw for the construction of the building. The contract called for a frame building 46 feet wide, 54 feet long and 24 feet between the sill and plate, with a fire proof vault in the basement story for the use of the county officers. The contractors were to expend six thousand dollars in material and labor. In consideration of the construction of this building the commissioners conveyed by deed to the contractors all the interest the county had in the village lots and public square, reserving a lot on the northeast quarter of the public square large enough to put the proposed building upon. In addition to the land the contractors were to receive the sum of two thousand dollars in two annual payments. The building was compteted and accepted March 9, 1842. This is the building heretofore referred to as having been removed to make space for the new stone buildings now in course of construction. In the 1840 presidential campaign Joseph Harper won from Jacob Silver a village lot on the result of the election, which he two years later gave to School District No. i on which was built the first school house. This building is still standing and is owned and occupied by John D. Williams on Rowland street. Previous to the construction of this building the children had been taught in log cabins and for a year or two in the old court house. In 1851 a brick jail was built just south of Graham's restaurant which in appearance resembled the brick house west of D. L. Kingsbury's residence. As a safe place for the confinement of criminals it was but little better than the old log jail. One report of an examining committee stated that z 0 C) 02 02 C) 02 0 0 C) z 236 Historical Skelck oj Cassopbolis. 237 "the back door was shrunk and could be opened from the outside with a shingle." In 1878-79 -was erected the present jail and sheriff's residence by W. H. Myers of Fort Wayne, Ind., at a cost Of $17,770. Chas. G. Banks, Chas. L. Morton and Joseph Smith were the building committee. As soon as this building was completed the second jail was torn down and removed. A postoffice was established here in 1831 with A. H. Redfield as postmaster. The office was first held in a small building that stood where the Goodwin House kitchen now stands. The office has been held in the buildings on the sonth corners of Broadway and York streets, where the Zeller office now is, in the building north of J. P. Osborn' s shop, in the Bisbee house, in the old red store, in the Morley building now standing on Rowland street near Win. Graham' s residence, the court house, and perhaps other buildings, and where it now is. G. B. Turner succeeded A. H. Redfield as postmaster and the following are successors: H. B., Dunning, F. A. Graves, Barak Mead, H. B. Dunning, A. B. Morley, Joseph Harper, C. C. Nelson, L. H. Glover, A. E. Bailey,C. C. Allison, and the present incumbent, A. N. Armstrong. In 1834 Nathan Baker started a- furnace in Geneva and commenced the manufacture of the cast iron plow, the first to be made in this county. Soon aft-er this foundry was removed to this place and with other shops was located on the southwest corner of State and 0' Keefe streets. Afterwards it was moved to York street on the lot now occupied by E. H. Black's residence. About 1870. Charles Decker started a cast iron foundry on the bank of the lake west of Reason Freer' s residence. He was succeeded in 1875 by John A. Talbot. The building is still standing and some of the old flasks are now stored in the basement. Later Welling & Patch started a foundry on the site of the old grist mill before mentioned. About the time of th'_ coming of the first furnace A. R. Lamb started a gun manufacturing and repair shop on the residence lot now occupied by his widow. Here Mr. Lamb worked until his death, August 2 1, 1875. The village soon after this had a tannery on a lot near the residence of Mrs. Beverly which was last conducted by Philip & Michael Young. On January 16, 1847, a dispensation was granted to A. H. Redfield, Geo. Sherwood, Geo. B. Turner, H. R. Close and W. G. Beckwith authorizing the institution of Cass county lodge No. 21, I. 0. 0. F. The lodge was instituted February 1 8 following, in the ball room of the Cassopolis hotel, a frame building standing on the lot now occupied by the Baptist church which was burnt down in 1859. Two years later the lodge purchased a lot across the street from this hotel and remodeled the second story of the building thereou for their use. The same room is now occupied by the lodge although the building. has been removed to its present site on Broadway north. The first officers were: A. H. Redfield, N. G.; G. B. Turner, V. G.; Geo. Sherwood, secretary; H. R. Close, permanent secretary; W. G. Beckwith, treasurer. The present officers are: 238 Historical Sketch of Cassopolis. N. G., Titus Tietsort; V. G.

G., George Brooks; R. S. V. G., P. Nysewander; L. S. V. G., W. Ditzell; R. S. S., James Berry; L. S. S. Thomas Enright: I. G., Charles Bulhan. The First meeting of resident Free and Accepted Masons was held in the Union Hotel, the building afterwards turned into the planing mill, June 12th, 1852, at which time a petition for a dispensation to form a lodge was prepared and a preliminary organization effected. The first officers were James M. Spencer, W. M.; Asa Kingsbury, S. W., and E. B. Sherman, J. W. The first meeting was held in Odd Fellows' Hall, July 9 1852. The lodge was named Backus, in honor of the Grand Master, and was numbered 54. The meetings of the lodge were held in Odd Fellows' Hall until April, 1860, when they were held in Kingsbury's Hall, the rooms now occupied by Miss Lulu Pearson for photograph gallery and C. C. Nelson for store room, until Jan. ist, 1876, when they were held in J. B. Chapman"s hall until about fifteen years ago, when the lodge removed into the hall over G. L. Smith's south store, where the meetings are now held. The present officers are: William H. Voorhis, W. M.; William H. Berkey, S. W.; Stanley A. Farnum, J.' W.; Charles O. Harmon, Secretary; David C. Thickstun; Treasurer; Rev. Isaac H. Riddick, Chaplain; Stanford J. Farnum, S. D.; Edward E. Hoffman, J.D.; Robert T. Kelley, Tyler.; Harry R. Radford, Otis J. Beeson, Stewards; James H. Farnum, S. S. Harrington, finance Committee; Allen N. Armstrong, marhall. In 1852, Wilson Harper erected a steam saw mill where the residence of J. M. Noble now stands, which he moved into Berrien county a year or two later. It was the first mill with circular saw in this county. About 1854 the Hetricks put up a grist mill on the lot now owned by E. P. Boyd, near the lake on the east side of Disbrow street, and later a saw mill with upright saw was added to this mill. Both were in operation as late as 1870 when they were torn down. The old boiler now lies half burried in the sand on the shore of the lake. In 1880, after the taking down of the mills, C. W. Shaw started an ashery and manufactured potash for a time. The building afterwards became W. D. Reams' wagon shop and later was moved by Murray Beardsley to his place and converted it into a barn. Asa Kingsburry established a private banking office in June, 1855, in the west end of the store room now occupied by C. C. Nelsen, where he remained until 1862, when it was removed into a new building with D. Blackman's law office, west of the present bank, which building now stands on South street, east of George W. Thorp's residence. In 1871, Mr. Kingsbury organized the First National Bank, whose charter expired in 1891 and then renewed for another twenty years. In 1856, John Tietsort commenced selling boots and shoes and clothing, exclusively, and the next year D. L. Tompkins opened a drug store. McConnell & Sons established a lumber yard in 1871 and were succeeded by Thickstun& Berringer in 1878, and D. C. Tickstun put in charge. He acquired the interest of his brother and Mr. Berringer in 1888, and is still carrying on the business. ')roiE~CS NI~n I~OdSek 'k ANý. I ý S a'~~.

He began business in March, 1862, in a building standing on the lot where Zeller's livery stable now stands. He and his brother, Samuel, built the store now occupied by H. E. Moon, and Mr. French occupied it until he sold to Mr. Moon a few months ago. The present grist mill was put up by J. Hopkins & Sons, Jan. i6th, 1882, and by them operated until 1889, when A. H. Van Riper acquired the interest of J. & L. J. Hopkins, and he and Willis D. Hopkins became sole proprietors. The new firm at a large expense substituted the roller process for making flour. The mill is one of the best equipped mills in the country, and its "Genuine" flour is second to none. In 1885 Josiah Hopkins built a saw mill near the grlst mill the boiler of which furnishes him with the necessary power to run his saws. C. W. Bunn put up a steam saw mill in 1891 which was burned down the same year, and the present mill built on its site which is owned and operated by Mr. Bunn and F. A. Lamb. The first newspaper published in Cassopolis was the Cass county Advocate which made its appearance March II, 1845. It was Democratic in politics and published by E. A. Graves. Financially it was not a success and five years later was purchased by E. S. Smith, a Whig, and removed to Dowagiac. In 1846 a small paper called the Literary News was published by O. V. H. McKinney. It being devoted to gossip principally, proved to be short lived. The National Democrat was established March 17, 1850, by stock company. G. B. Turner was the first editor and H. C. Shurter publisher. After passing through several hands finally on May 5, 1863 it became the property of C. C. Allison who has since been its editor and proprietor. The Cassopolis Vigilant was started May 16, 1872 by-D. B. Harrington and M. H. Barber who published it less than one year and sold it to C. L. Morton and W. H. Mansfield, the latter purchasing the interests of the former the same year and continued its publication until 1878 when J. M. Shepard purchased the plant and has since been its sole proprietor. The Cassopolis Reading Room and Library association was organized and incorporated February 11, 1871, by W. W. Peck, W. P. Bennett, C. S. Wheaton, J. F. Stevens, A. Garwood, A. B. Morley, A. Maginnis, H. Norton, O. Rudd, M. L. Howell, J. Tietsort, J. M. Shepard, L. H. Glover and J. B. Boyd. The association is now controlled entirely by the ladies of the organization who have added books to the library from time to time until there are now about fourteen hundred volumes on the shelves. The library is open every Saturday afternoon from 2 o'clock to 4 o'clock at which time members of the association are privileged to draw books. The annual dues are one dollar for the first year and seventy-five cents thereafter. The Cass County Pioneer society organized in 1862 holds its annual meetings and picnics on the third Wednesday in June on the Fair Grounds in the village.
