HIGH ISLAND, Lake Michigan
An abandoned deserted village,
complete to a church, school, saw
mill, barns and numerous cabins,
silently greets the traveller today as
he visits High island in Lake Mich
igan, the one-time summer colony
and hide-out for King Ben Purnell
and his House of David of Benton
Harbor.
Like its nearby island neighbor,
Beaver Island. where the Mormons
once practiced polygamy under pur-
ported divine sanction, High island
was the off-shoot Of a strange re-
ligious sect featured by King Ben
and his harem Of pretty girls.
The two islands, off the beaten
path of modern tourists has much
in common as to their past history.
Today, the Irish Catholic fisher
folk dominate st. James, the for
mer Mormon colony. And today the
House of David settlement on High
island Is slowly decaying into the
sandy soil, its wooden buildings
standing gaunt like silent sentinels
to remind the visitor of the bust
ling activity IS TO IS years ago.
From the captains cabin Of the
conservation patrol boat No. l, we
had our first view Of the small
island, about two miles wide and
four miles In length, as we rounded

The authenticity Of these historic
details is vouched for by the emf
nent Detroit historian, DR.. Milo M.
Quaife.
Captain Alters, who was young
man on Beaver island when King
Ben frequently visited High island,
told us how one pretty wife pro-
tested against the rule that bride
must wait seven years to reside
with her husband. She finally fled
from High island.
