Recently there was some discussion on the Clark Equipment Company and I knew I'd read about it somewhere and just recently found my 'box' on Berrien County (I've recently moved.). There are two books that have info you might want to check out. One is "Buchanan Yesterday Today Tomorrow" and the other is "Historical Sketches of Berrien County, Volume 2". Both of these book are available at the 1839 Courthouse Museum store. When I bought them a couple of years ago they were about $8.00 each. Another excellent book that is invaluable if you have ancestors from Bainbridge Township is "Immigrant Families From Zuesch, Rhineland, Germany to Bainbridge Township, Berrien County, Michigan 1840 to 1887" by Walter Petto. The main surnames discussed are: Antes, Arend, DeTemple, Fruehauf, Geller, Hackert, Hoeffner/Haefner/Heffner, Hirsch, Kniebes, Krieger, Molter, Moser, Scherer, Schmitt/Smith, Schmittberger/Smithberger, and Weber. This hardback book is still available from Duane Kniebes, who personally paid to have it published. It is $25.00, which includes shipping. You may contact Duane at: Duane V. Kniebes 4612 Hampshire St. Boulder, CO 80301 If you research Watevliet, Coloma, Hagar Township, Paw Paw Lakes or Bainbridge, "Trails from Shingle Diggin's" by Mabel Branch Stark is a must read. Another great book still available from the North Berrien Historical Society is "Glimpses of the Past, Storeis and pictures of North Berrien pioneer families." Maybe others could add books that are still available for sale and where to find them about Berrien County History. Most of these books are filled with names. Everyone should keep a bibliography in their research files. The books I've mentioned were purchased at the Museum Shop in Berrien Springs, the North Berrien Museum shop in Coloma, or the Paw Paw Lake Book Store in Coloma. Sherry Arent Cawley
