Looking at Lisbon school picture and trying to identify and noticed that you have that Lisbon school closed in 1956. I went
to school there thru 6th grade and they closed a couple years later. School was there at least until 1961. I graduated in
1966 from Sparta.
Went to Sparta for Jr HI 1959/1960 |

My family came from the Chester area and in fact many of them are still in the Ottawa/Kent County areas.
On your site, when it shows military/maiden: what exactly is the info on? You show Rascelas McClain as 1865, Civil War
21 Aug 1861-22 Feb 1864. Also it shows his obituary Jul 23, 1909 but then the cemetery comment is Feb 1857. Something doesn't
add up. Please contact me if you have anything confirming all this. |

I'd like to talk to you about Julia (Gillhespy born 1856) and William Pierce married 12/7/1878. He is my great great grandfather
on my fathers side. Flossie Pierce is my fathers mother who is Williams daughter. I belive they lived in Ottawa county-Chester
Township. I need some help tracing my American Indian heritage. I'm looking for any Pierce info you can give me. I belive
that we are related: your husbands great uncle is Julia Gillhespy's father (John). I've been out to the McNitt cemetary
and wonder about the names on the headstones, and the stones that are no longer readable. Thank you for any help you can give

Hi Vicki,
As far as I have been able to discover, there is no longer a Maccabees organization anywhere. It gradually changed from a
fraternal organization that originated in London, On. to a licensed insurance company. The largest number of members were
in Canada and Michigan. You can sometimes find Macabees items for sale on e-bay. |

Great work. I sure appreciate the tremendous amout of work you have put into this site. I was born in Chester township in
1930 and have a lot of relatives that came from there. My Grandfather was Charles Keas and my great grandfather was John
Keas (aka. Kease, kies & Keyes.) 1833-1884. John is buried in Bennett and Charles is buried in Trinity Lutheren. Under cemeteries
you have John Keas 1833-1888. My records indicate he died Jan. 5 1884. Also he served in the infantry 2-14-1865 to 2-17-1866.
His name is spelled Keyes on his discharge papers. He owned 79 A in sect. 16 and 80 A in sect. 15 where he built a log cabin
and later a conventional house, most of which still stands today with several add-ons. I will check with Ottawa county records
on date DOD. Thanks again for all your work.

I inherited a Rebecca Lodge ring from my grandmother. I would like to learn more about it. Can you help? My grandmother's
name was Leone Lemons. Are there any records of Lodge members from Illinois? Could she have inherited it from someone else?
I can take a picture of the ring, but it has the Lodge crest on it with a black square background on a gold ring. I had
always admired the ring, but never knew what it was about until after my grandmother died. As such, I cannot ask her. I
appreciate any information you can provide. Thank you.

I have found a picture of my grandmother with a large group of ladies holding flags. Circa 1900-1915. She is sitting in the
middle of the group with a large sash over her left shoulder down to the bottom of her long dress.There are 2 other women
sitting with her, one with a sword and one with a book. They are all wearing a ribbon pin attached to a medillon with a
heart in the center. There is no indication of what this organization might be. Can you tell me if this would be a Rebecca
Lodge in Ord, Nebraska. Her name was Stella McLain. Thank You |

I just wanted to say that your page is great. I moved to Arizona from Conklin about 5 years ago. For someone who is home-sick,
your page does the trick. It's also great to learn the history of Conklin. I've only heard stories behind building and with
your pictures, it sure does make those stories real.
I do havea suggestion, and it may prove too much work to be worth doing, but it would be really neat to see the history behind
some of the older houses in Conklin(What families lived in them, and when they were built). I am particularly interested in
the houses on Conklin St(I grew up at 19708) and the houses on Main Street(since most of them were businesses at one point
in time).
Keep up the GREAT work!
Thank you! |

I am the daughter of Jack Pruitt who owns Pruitt's Packaging Services in Conklin. Just an update - my father is 82 years old
and STILL running the business from our Grand Rapids office. I have 2 sons involved in the business at this time and hope
to continue this legacy by serving the Conklin community for years to come.Just another point of interest, James Ree Mcnitt,
of the original 40th ave
McNitt's began working for the company when he was 19 years old and still runs the plant today at age 52. He also still takes
care of the family farm which now raises feeder cattle. His father Richard and mother Eveleen are still living in the old
farmhouse at 21507 40th ave. |

Thanks so much for all your efforts. We've never seen pictures of Arnold and Ruby Johns Chase, much less the whole extended
family, or the documentation of the attached description of their 50th wedding anniversary. We would love to connect with
the people who submitted that information. And thanks to Maurie Chase (signed guestbook below) for notifying us about this
information. |

What an absolutely wonderful web site. It is easy to see why you won the award that you did.
I attended the old Lisbon School from, I believe, 1946-1950.
Your site sure brings back the memories.
Thank you.

Your township web site is wonderful. Would love to try doing this with our small township in Arenac County. Our name is
AuGres township. Tried once a year or so ago to get the names of the men from our township who had served in the military.
Went to the County Clerk but he refused to let me see the records of the county. Said it had to do with the privacy policy.
Would it be possible for you to let me know what records you used? Thank you. |

Great web site!
I'm currently researching the history of Sparta Baptist Church and in their church records there is a mention of a Baptist
Church which met in Wright and one in Big Springs and one in Chester (not the current North Chester Baptist Church). Since
none of them may have built a building (only meeting in schools or homes) they are easily forgotten. Do you have any information?

We are pleased to see this site. We now live @ 4504 13 mile rd one house from the corner of Gooding. Just tonight a neighbor
came by and told us about some of the history of this area. We purchase the home from Joe Ostman and he from Baehre. Mr Baehre
owned what is now two farms on the north and south sides of 13 mile east of Kenowa. The old railroad went across the back
of this property. I am very interested in learning about the area and specifically this house. I was told this is the oldest
house on the road. When was this house built? Before the town of Gooding sprang up? Who built it and what did he do? Farm?
Please contact us or advise us of how we might gain more information about this area and this house. Respectfully, Greg |

You would think that as site administrator, I would know my site's correct URL. This one above is correct. The one in the
first message is wrong. I think this means that I'm human and do make mistakes.
That's one of the reasons that I welcome your comments. No matter how well researched, mistakes can be made. Let me know
if you find one. |

I am the administrator of the Chester Township History & Genealogy website. More pages will be added as soon as the research
for them is completed. Some of the pages that will be added include: cemeteries, churches, Masons/Eastern Star and Knights
of Columbus organizations, Trinity Lutheran School, agriculture, and Crockery Lake.
If there is anything that you would like to see added to the site, please let me know.
