History of Lewis Cook and the people of Ada and Cascade:

General Notes: EARLY SETTLEMENT.

This township was at first a part of the township of Ada. Lewis Cook, a native of New Jersey, is said to have been the first settler within the limits of Cascade. He removed from that State to Seneca county, New York; from hence to Washtenaw county, in this State; from which he came, a pioneer settler to Cascade in 1836. At or near this time also came Mr. Hiram Laraway to this place from New York. His wife being a sister of Mrs. Cook. But, discouraged by the hardships of the wilderness, he soon returned to his native place. Sometime during 1839 or 1840, Mr. Laraway returned to his Cascade possessions, and was frozen to death between that place and Ada, in the winter of 1841. Widow Laraway bravely met the heavy burdens of pioneer life, and trained up three sons and a daughter to lives of usefulness.  While the name of aunt Mary Laraway became a household word in the community and a synonym of virtue and piety. She lived to see her children settled in life, and died suddenly in the summer of 1869. Her oldest son is well known as the proprietor of a stonecutting establishment in Grand Rapids. Peter and George Teeple came to Cascade during these years, joining the settlers on the west side of the Thornapple, while the eastern side was yet unmarked by civilization, but inhabited on and near sections 23 and 26, by a colony of about 350 natives, known, through the adoption of the name of their missionary, as the Slater Indians. In the year 1841, Peter Whitney, of Ohio, moved his family into that part of Cascade known as Whitneyville, and E. D. Gove, of Mass., selected a site for his future home near the center of the township on sections 22, 15 and 14, to which he brought his family in the summer of 1842. 

ORGANIZATION.

The first township meeting was held at Whitneyville, April 3, 1848, and the following board of township officers was elected: Supervisor-Peter Teeple. Clerk-John R. Stewart.

Treasurer-Asa W. Denison. School Inspectors-James H. Woodworth, Thomas I. Seeley.  Commissioners of Highways ?Ezra Whitney, Fred. A. Marsh, Win. Degolia. Justices of the Peace-Leonard Stewart, Zerah Whitney. Assessors-Thomas I. Seeley, Harry Clark. Constables-Morris Denison, 0. P. Corson, Win. Cook, Peter J. Whitney. Of the above board, Peter Teeple is yet a respected member of the township.  The first cabin, with split log roof and floor and chimney of clay and sticks, was built by Nathan Boynton. Lewis Cook, Peter and George Teeple and Hiram Laraway were the 1836 pioneers of Cascade. In the year following, Edward Linen was the first of the Irish pioneers, and soon afterward a number of Irishmen, who had come to labor on the canal, decided to remain as farmers and located in this vicinity. Among these were James May, David Petted, John Farrell, James and William Annis, Michael Matthews and Christopher, Michael and Patrick Eardley.  Wyoming township was organized as Byron township, May 2, 1836, with Charles Oakes as supervisor, G. H. Gordon as clerk, and I. A. Allen, Robert Howlett and E. P. Walker as justices. In 1835 the city of Grandville was founded by the so-called Grandville Company, composed of Eastern men, who platted eight acres, with additions, in 1836. They offered lots at $25 each for building purposes and at $200 each for speculators. The township was organized April 2, 1838. The first election was held on the date above given, at the house of J.

Notes for George W. Teeple:

General Notes: ALFRED C. TEEPLE, a well known and highly respected farmer on section No.23, Paris township, was born in Cascade township, Kent county, Mich., May 4, 1842. George W. and Samantha (Cook) Teeple, parents of Alfred C. Teeple, were natives of Seneca county, N. Y., whose families came to Michigan in an early day and located in Wayne county, near Plymouth, where the parents of the subject were married. In 1836, when the family consisted of two children, they came to the Grand River country, locating in Cascade township, Kent county, where the family has since had representatives. That was assuredly at a pioneer period. Scarcely a dozen houses stood at the then mere trading-post, where now the hum of hundreds of extensive factories, employing thousands of men, indicates the second city of importance in the state. The woods, through which the beautiful Thornapple flowed, were scarcely yet trod by white man’s feet, and the placid waters of the beautiful stream still often reflected the swarthy face of the Indian warrior or his no less dusky maiden. About the same time Lewis Cook, maternal uncle of the subject, also arrived; and soon afterward came his father, Edward Cook, a veteran of the war of I812, who likewise took up his residence in Cascade. When Alfred C. was six years of age, his parents removed to section No. 18, on the line of Paris township, where they settled on a tract of 150 acres. Of this about ten acres had been partially improved, the remainder being subsequently cleared by his father, who died on the place at the age of seventy-four years. His wife survived him twelve years, dying at the age of eighty-two. This farm is now owned by their son, William E. Teeple, who makes it his home. George W. Teeple was a stanch democrat and an influential party worker; he was quite popular with his party as well as with the general public. He was of a sociable nature, liberal in his relations to all. He was very fond of hunting, a sport in which he was invariably successful, having attained an enviable record among hunters as one whose skill in many instances excelled that of the Indian. Of his twelve children, ten grew to maturity, and nine are still living. One son, Marcus D., who was a resident of Paris township, was accidentally killed at the age of fifty-four years, by logs rolling over him through some mishap while he was at work but his widow and one daughter still reside on their farm. Alfred C. Teeple remained on the home farm until thirty-one years old, for five years having had full charge of its operation. At his marriage he located on part of the homestead, where he lived about eighteen months. when he removed to a farm in Jamestown, Ottawa county, on which he lived six years, making extensive improvements upon it. Ever being handy in the use and operation of machinery, he engaged in the lumber manufacture in Grand Rapids for a period of five years.  The township was organized April 2, 1838. The first election was held on the date above given, at  the house of J. W. Fisk. Edward Robinson was moderator, and Peter Teeple was clerk of the election. Officers were elected as follows: Supervisor, Sidney Smith; township clerk, Nelson Robinson; assessors, Rix Robinson, Hamilton Andrews and Peter Teeple; collector, Carlos Smith;

overseers of the poor, Tory Smith and Miniers Jipson; commissioners of highways, William Slosson, Edward Robinson and Lewis Cook; constables, Carlos Smith, Rix R. Church and Michael Early; commissioners of schools, Nelson Robinson, George Teeple and Lewis Cook. Peter and George Teeple came to Cascade in these early years, joining the settlers on the west side of the Thornapple, while the eastern side was as yet unmarked by civilization, but inhabited

on and near Sections 23 and 26 by a colony of about 350 natives, known, through the adoption of the name of their missionary, as the Slater Indians. The Teeples were born in Essex, N. J., sons of Jonas Teeple, who, with his entire family of grown sons and daughters, came to Michigan and

County. He had sold a large farm at Plymouth, and in Cascade township bought 700 acres of government land at $1.25 per acre-all practically in one tract. He built a little log house on Section 18 and there passed the remainder of his life, the little log house, however, giving place to a fine dwelling in 1855. Mr. Teeple was for many years agent for speculators who owned large tracts of land in the county, and of these he sold many acres to settlers, doing much to people this region.  Although he was but eight miles from Grand Rapids, then nick-named "Bob-o-link," it took him two days to make the trip. For five years he was supervisor of his township, and he kept up his interest in public affairs until he had attained an advanced age. He died in 1875 at the age of

eighty-two years. George W. Teeple came to Cascade with his wife and two children. This was soon after Lewis Cook, who was a maternal uncle of the Teeples, had arrived, and soon afterward came Edward Cook, a veteran of the War of 1812, who likewise took up his residence in Cascade.  In 1848 George W. Teeple removed his family to Section 18, on the line of Paris township, settling on a tract of 150 acres, and there he died, in 1884, at the age of seventy-four years. In the year 1841, Peter Whitney, of Ohio, moved his family into that part of Cascade which was long known as Whitneyville, and E. D. Gove, of Massachusetts, selected a site for his future home near the center of the township on Sections 22, 15 and 14.

Mr. Teeple often told of those early pioneer days, when the family heard with joy the sound of an axe far off in the forest, telling them that they had a new

neighbor, although they might be several miles away; also of going long distances  through the woods to the home of some neighbor to get fire to rekindle their own, which through some mishap had gone out.  Of their struggles against the wild beasts of the forests, their fear of the red men, of the trials and hardships of wresting a home from the forest, and of Grand Rapids, than a mere hamlet, which he watched grow into the beautiful city that it

is today.  In 1848 he removed with his father´.s family to a farm on section 18, Cascade, where he resided until in 1861.  On 10 February 1861, he was united in marriage with Mary C. Fish of Otisco, Ionia county. Soon after their marriage they went to their new home which they had prepared on section 33 of Cascade and which was then a wilderness. Then began the struggle to hew from the forest a home and a competency. How well he succeeded is attested by the beautiful farm which he still owned at his death.  In 1905, Mr. and Mrs. Teeple left their farm and settled in Alaska, where they of the trials and hardships of wresting a home from the forest, and of Grand Rapids, than a mere hamlet, which he watched grow into the beautiful city that it is today. In 1848 he removed with his father´.s family to a farm on section 18, Cascade, where he resided until in 1861. On 10 February 1861, he was united in marriage with Mary C. Fish of Otisco, Ionia county. Soon after their marriage they went to their new home which they had prepared on section 33 of Cascade and which was then a wilderness. Then began the struggle to hew from the forest a home and a competency. How well he succeeded is attested by the beautiful farm which he still owned at his death.  In 1905, Mr. and Mrs. Teeple left their farm and settled in Alaska, where they have since resided.  Mr. Teeple was a man of sterling worth, of high moral principles, strict integrity, indomitable courage and untiring energy.  He was respected by all who knew him for his high sense of justice, and loved by

all his large circle of friends for his kindly disposition. He was a kind neighbor and a true friend, always ready to extend a helping hand. He was a charter member of the Whitneyville grange and until failing health made it impossible for him to do so, took an active interest in it.  Beside his widow, Mr. Teeple is survived by two brothers and two sisters. They are Alfred C. Teeple of Grand Rapids, William Teeple of Cascade, Mrs. Almina D. Spaulding of Harbor Springs and Mrs. Harriet J. Sanford of Mineapolis, Minnesota. He is also survived by nine nephews and nine nieces and several grand nephews and grand nieces, besides many other relatives and friends, and also his tow foster sons, James Carlton and his son, Glen Carlton, of Grand Rapids.  Funeral services were conducted by Mrs. B. W. Woodward of Dutton at the Baptist church in Alaska. Music furnished by Mrs. D. McKersie, Mrs. Allie Gillett and Miss Grace McKersie.

SPAULDING, Minor P. - also known as ´.Spalding´. - born January 5, 1843, in Paris, Kent

county, Michigan.

By 1860 Miner was working as a farm laborer for and/or living with a wealthy farmer named James Patterson in Paris, Kent county; just two farms away lived Orleans Spaulding and his family (see Samuel Spaulding's biographical sketch below). Minor stood 5´.8´. with blue eyes, light hair and a light complexion and was a 19-year-old farmer probably living in Kent county when he enlisted in Company A, along with Samuel Spaulding (to whom he may have been related), on March 3, 1862, at Grand Rapids, and was mustered the same day. Minor was reported absent sick in the hospital in September and was discharged for

chronic diarrhea on October 18, 1862, at Fort McHenry, Maryland.  Minor returned to Michigan where he reentered the service in Company E, Tenth cavalry

on September 7, 1863, at Grand Rapids for 3 years, crediting Paris, Kent county, and was mustered on September 12 at Grand Rapids where the regiment was organized between September 18 and November 18, 1863, when it was mustered into service. It left Michigan for

Lexington, Kentucky on December 1, 1863, and participated in numerous operations, mostly in Kentucky and Tennessee throughout the winter of 1863-64. Most of its primary area of operations would eventually be in the vicinity of Strawberry Plains, Tennessee. In March of 1865 he was at the dismounted camp in Knoxville, Tennessee where he remained through May, and on furlough in June and July. By September he was reported to be ´.in charge´. of the military prison at Jackson, Tennessee, was promoted to Quartermaster Sergeant on October 2, 1865, to First Sergeant on November 2, and mustered out on November

11, 1865, at Memphis, Tennessee.  After the war, Minor returned to Kent county, and was working as a farmer and living in Paris township when he married Michigan native Loraine H. Cook (1848-1902) on May 12, 1868, at Cascade, and they had at least three children: Carrie (b. 1869), John (b. 1871) and Helen (b.

1875). By 1870 he was working as a farmer and living with his wife and daughter Carrie in Cascade, Kent county. According to one source, due to ill health he moved to Sherman, Texas where he lived for some years and was a member of the Grand Army of the Republic post in Sherman. By 1880 he was reported as married but working as a farmer and living with the James Anglin family in Eureka Springs, Carroll county, Arkansas. Curiously, in 1880 Lorraine and their

three children were living with her parents in Cascade, Kent county. Minor eventually returned to Michigan and was living in Caledonia, Kent county in 1886 and 1890.  He was a member of the Old Third Michigan Infantry Association. In 1878 he applied for and received a pension (no. 162570). Minor was confined to his bed for nearly a year and a half before he died on May 23, 1892, and was buried in Lakeside cemetery in Caledonia; see photo G-13. At the annual reunion of the association held in December of 1892, the following resolution was read and entered into the records: ´.Whereas - Minor Spaulding, after having served with honor in Co. A in the old Third Mich Infantry´. and after being discharged by reason of a disability from which he never recovered, yet was so filled with patriotism, that he could not remain quiet, but re-enlisted in the Tenth Mich Cavalry, and served as long as his strength should permit, And Whereas - said comrade, after long and almost continuous illness, since the close of the war, was, by the Great Commander, ordered to the realms above to join the great Grand Army

Notes for Alfred C. Teeple:

General Notes: Title: The City of Grand Rapids and Kent County, Mich.: up to date, containing

biographical sketches of prominent and representative citizens. 

ALFRED C. TEEPLE, a well known and highly respected farmer on section No. 23, Paris township, was born in Cascade township, Kent county, Mich., May 4, 1842. George W. and Samantha (Cook) Teeple, parents of Alfred C. Teeple, were natives of Seneca county, N. Y., whose families came to Michigan in an early day and located in Wayne county, near Plymouth, where the parents of the subject were married. In 1836, when the family consisted of two children, they came to the Grand River country, locating in Cascade township, Kent county, where the family has since had representatives. That was assuredly at a pioneer period. Scarcely a dozen houses stood at the then mere trading-post, where now the hum of hundreds of extensive factories, employing thousands of men, indicates the second city of importance in the state. The woods, through which the beautiful Thornapple flowed, were scarcely yet trod by white man’s feet, and the placid waters of the beautiful stream still often reflected the swarthy face of the Indian warrior or his no less dusky maiden. About the same time Lewis Cook, maternal uncle of the subject, also arrived; and soon afterward came his father, Edward Cook, a veteran of the war of I812, who likewise took up his residence in Cascade. When Alfred C. was six years of age, his parents removed to section No. 18, on the line of Paris township, where they settled on a tract of 150 acres. Of this about ten acres had been partially improved, the remainder being subsequently cleared by his father, who died on the place at the age of seventy-four years. His wife survived him twelve years, dying at the age of eighty-two. This farm is now owned by their son, William E. Teeple, who makes it his home. George W. Teeple was a stanch democrat and an influential party worker; he was quite popular with his party as well as with the general public. He was of a sociable nature, liberal in his relations to all. He was very fond of hunting, a sport in which he was invariably successful, having attained an enviable record among hunters as one whose skill in many instances excelled that of the Indian. Of his twelve children, ten grew to maturity, and nine are still living. One son, Marcus D., who was a resident of Paris township, was accidentally killed at the age of fifty-four years, by logs rolling over him through some mishap while he was at work. but his widow and one daughter still reside on their farm. Alfred C. Teeple remained on the home farm until thirty-one years old, for five years having had full charge of its operation. At his marriage he located on part of the homestead, where he lived about eighteen months. when he removed to a farm in Jamestown, Ottawa county, on which he lived six years, making extensive improvements upon it. Ever being handy in the use and operation of machinery, he engaged in the lumber manufacture in Grand Rapids for a period of five years. He also worked two and a half years as a carpenter, his skill being such that although he had never worked at this trade before, he soon received the best wages paid to skilled mechanics. He had abandoned farming on account of ill health, but, his temperament and disposition were such that he must be actively engaged in remunerative labor.  The old love for the pursuits of agriculture had not been outgrown or forgotten, but itsindependence came more forcibly to mind after these years spent in mechanical life, and so in theall of i886 Mr. Teeple secured his present farm, which had formerly been owned by Alexander Loomis, his father-in-law, and comprised forty acres. He next purchased eighty acres adjoining on ection No. 23, known as the Thomas Skinner farm. He rebuilt the dwelling and barns, made other desirable improvements, and now has the finest farm of its dimensions in Paris township, and, owing to the skill and intelligence in its operation, it is one of the most prolific in the crops grown upon it. He also keeps a flock of choice sheep, in which he justly takes great pride; in keeping with the whole, all his live stock is in fact of the best breeds. Mr. Teeple is a democrat in politics, has often attended as delegate the county, district and state conventions of his party, and has worked hard for its success. He never shirks responsibility in upholding and advocating its principles, being well informed, not only upon questions of party belief, but also in all political history, and is

naturally a stanch supporter of the Chicago platform. ’His fraternal relations are with the I. O. O. F., with which he has held a quiet connection for several years. Mr. Teeple was joined in marriage March 26, 1872, with Miss DeEtte L. Loomis, a native of Gaines township, Kent county, Mich., and to this felicitous union have been born two children ´.Lotta B. and E. Clyde-both still at home. Mr. Teeple, like those only who have been careful students of the Bible and thoughtful in reaching conclusions, is a Unitarian in his religious belief, though at present he is not related to any church society. Recognizing their value in a community, he liberally contributes to the churches of the vicinity. Hte is of a tough, wiry physique and nervous temperament; thoughtful and meditative, he endeavors to seek the reason for all things before he considers them worthy of his faith and sanction.. He is greatly respected as a man of independence of thought, honorable living, and his many excellent personal qualities. His family are also held in unalloyed esteem by their numerous friends and neighbors.
