Henry White Writes of
Early Days In Yale

San Diego, Calf, Mar. %, '21.
Dear Mr.. Menzies,
You have been asking some
questions about the early hap
penings of Yale, and as | was one
of the first residents perhaps |
may be able to answer some OF
them.
The first resident of what is
now Yale was Royal d. Griffin,
living on what is now the farm Of
John Dickie, Mr.. Griffin coming
in the fall of 1850.
Ny father, Nathan White was
the next, coming in the spring of
1851, and buying the land on
which the city of Yale now stands
and moving into Lewis Brock
ways lumber camp, where John
Staley's house now stands. The
first school was in a board shan
ty at the junction of Kennefck
and South Main streets. The first
teacher was Hettie Kimball, who
later married E. M. Cady.
1 The first supervisor, as near as
| can remember was John d..
Jones, and the first lumbermen
were Lewis Brockway and Ruff &
Grout, of Armada.
, The first saw mill was owned
by Jonas Jones, and the first no.
tel was kept by Vint Ferguson. 1t
stood where DR.. Pollock's resi-
dence now stands.
The first grist mill was on a
small brook that ran into Mill
Creek just north Of the cemetery
and was built by VIM. Jury Of
stones made from boulders taken
from the fields. He only ground
corn meal and graham flour as he
had no betting machinery.
The first sermon preached in
Yale was by Peter Hicks, and the
first couple to be married was my
sister Eliza White and William
Mason.
! The first mill that Jonas Jones
built was carried out the next
spring by the flood, but he said
he would build another if it cost
him fifty dollars, so he did and
built it on the west side of the
river.
1t was not unusual in those
days to see a dozen deer within
twenty rods of the house, so we
were never lacking for meat at
any time.
! | took the first grist Of wheat
to mill when l was eleven years
old, to the old mill just west of
Abbottsford, on Mill Creek. !
went with a yoke of oxen and it
was eleven o'clock when | got
lhome. The road ran through the
McMullen farm and came out
through John Dickie's farm and
down through about where my
old home stood when | left for
California.
From your old friend,
HENRY G.. WHITE,

Muddy roads and stormy wealth
err did not dampen the spirits of
the 65 members Of the Jolly Far
mers' Club, who met at the home
of Mr.. and Mrs. Hugh Hodgins

A program was prepared for the

by John Patterson. He highly
praised the work of Mr.. Brody, his
predecessor, who resigned and be-
came secretary of the Michigan
State Farm Bureau.
Mr.. Kidman joined with the
club members in wishing Mr.
Brody the greatest of success in
his new field.
The necessity of close cooper"
alton of the farm bureau members
if they wished to reach their goal
was emphasized in his talk. He
also brought out the point Of
sticking to our motto, "a Square
Deal to ALL"
A solo by little Margaret Nye
was so welkenjoyed that an en-
core was necessary.
Violet Jacobs gave a humorous
reading and Mrs. Bert Nye a solo.
After the closing number. a
piano solo by Evelyn Shannon,
next meeting was announced to be
held at the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
VIM. Hayes on the fourth Thurs
