Any reference to history before 1880 appears to come from other published county histories. Material on the township itself appears to start with some 1880's references, and enlarges it's scope ca 1920's. Century farms that are covered, are only those that still exist today in the same family. The listing of the names of township chairmen, starts with 1870, although a few earlier names are recorded from the 1850's. Early Settlers in the township, with brief biographies in the book: William B Beach F H Bechaus John B Bechaud Cornelius Bevier Andrew J Birdsall Elliot Brown, M D John Brown Almond W Chapman Hiram Edgerton Robert Estabrook Edwin H Galloway John E Gould Joshua Goss Alexander Houston S Martin Ingalls Charles Davis Kendall Joseph King Isaac Klock Leander Landerman Edward Little George McCluskey Jonathan W Manley John H Martin Francis F Parsons Edward Pier E R Powers Daniel G Richardson J F Roblee Alonzo L Simmons Samuel B Stanchfield M W Tallmadge John D Turner Samuel Whitmore Businesses with small biographies in the township history are: Copper Kettle Four Mile House Tavern La Borde's Fishing Boats Bechaud Brewing Co Mengels Saw Mill Gabel Machine Shop Supple and Sons Ice Co Pabst Hotel Club Luco Cheese Factories Homestead Farms Include Bertz Butz Costello Kaufman Keenan David & Mary Schmitz Harold & Alice Schmitz Scott Sheridan Streblow Thurk I hope that this helps. tracy reinhardt
