The school was opened in Coldwater on May 21, 1874. Once admitted, children participated in "family -like" life in cottages and a placing-out program. A third of each day was used for schoolwork. a third for recreation and entertalnment, and third for acquiring work skills. Children learned reading. spelling. counting, calisthenlcs, singing. cy phering a and slate drawing. By the turn of th century, the facility had become the only home In Michigan admitting both normal and handicapped children. �ACHIGA HISTS STERED TORIC COLDWATER REGIONAL CENTER By an act of the state leglslature the StatePublic School became the Michigan Children's Village In 1935. The facility thenbegan to admit only children with mild mental Impairments. Most of the former resldents were transferred to theMichlganChildren's Institute, estabIishedin Ảnn Arbor in 1935. In 1939 the ChildrensVillage became the Coldwater State Home and Training School, and persons of all ages with more serious mental handicaps were admitted. By 1960there were 2.900residents. During the1970s, special education, training and living experiences in communities reducedthe number of resldents to less than 700.

Arrival times of the trains were posted well in advance, and anyone--without investigation of the home or its conditions--could select a child. As a result, many of these children would run away and eventually ended up in the poorhouses, or again on an "Orphan Train. At the end of the routes, the children who were left would go to various institutions across the country. In this same time period, Laura Haviland, of Raisin Township in Lenawee County, devoted her life's work to help the oppressed and down-trodden of every race. Active in the underground railroad, the modest home of the Havilands The Havilands also opened a manual labor school on became the refuge of the eeing slaves on their way to Canada. their premises designed for indigent children. They took nine children from the county house of Lenawee County, and along with their own children, taught them four hours each day. In 1864, the Institute closed as a house of In 1837, the Raisin Institute initially was opened in Lenawee County. learning, for so many of the teachers and students had enlisted in the Civil War. Mrs. Haviland sold the Raisin Institute with the stipulation that it was to be used for homeless and indigent children. Two hundred children of this class were cared for in this "home" until good homes were found for them. For four years this orphan's home was conducted with funds provided by charity, and throughout this time Mrs. Haviland hoped that the State might take over the task of supporting schools of this nature. In his inaugural address to the state legislature in 1868, Governor Henry Baldwin called special attention to the lamentable living conditions of dependent children in the county poor houses. Through Mrs. Haviland's personal appeal, the Legislature passed a bill in 1871 to establish a "State Public School for Dependent and Neglected Children," and Senator Randall began a campaign to secure the facility for Coldwater, Michigan. Many other Michigan cities offered bids, but Coldwater's offer of 27 acres of land and $25,000 was nally accepted. The Coldwater Regional Mental Health Center rst opened its doors on May 21, 1874, as the The population consisted of 150 orphaned and dependent children. state Public School. On October 1, 1935, a major change in the original concept occurred when the agency became part of the Michigan Children's Institute, and the name changed to Michigan children's VIllage.

On May 23, 1939, the facility was renamed Coldwater State Home and Tralning school, and began to accept residents of all ages and levels of retardation. The population growth from 150 residents in 1874 to a record 3,231 in 1960, re ected the trend of similar agencies throughout the United States. This trend started to reverse in 1969, when there were 2,800 residents, and has continued until today. Gradually, many placements were found in foster homes, group homes, and in independent living arrangements. The next name change occurred in January 1975, to the Coldwa ter Disabili the Regional Center for Developm en tal tles, which again ra ected administrative changes in the Department of Mental Health.

In March, 1991, the Department of Mental Health announced that it would be closing the Coldwater Regional Mental Health Center in June, 1992, due to deinstitutionalization of Michigan's mentally ill population. In July, 1992, Governor Engler announced that the Department of Corrections would move their Women's Work Camp Program from the Chelsea area to the vacated buildings of the former Coldwater Regional Center in October, 1992. fl fi fi fi fl fl An of cial closure ceremony was held in front of the Administration Building on Saturday, September 26, 1992.

The buildings are on the cottage plan, and are represented on the accompanying cut. The cottages are the homes of the children, each accommodating about thirty children, and each presided over by a lady cottage manager, whose duties are very similar to those of a mother with smaller family. It is made the special duty of the Board of Control to homes in families for the children, as fast as practicable, nd and an agent is appointed to attend to this work, and to look after the welfare of the children after thus being placed in homes. The institution is in charge of a Board of Control, appointed by the Governor and con rmed by the Senate, for a term of six years each. The present Board of Control consists of the following persons: Isaac B. Fancher, President, Mt. Pleasant. Richmond E. Case, Three Rivers. C, D. Randall, Secretary and Treasurer, Coldwater. The administration of the ordinary affairs is in the hands of a Superintendent, who is delegated large discretionary authority by the Board, and in whom is principally the responsibility of success. Wesley Sears is now superintendent of the institution and Wm. B. Streeter is State Agent. There are about 300 children in the school, new ones being continually received, and the older ones being furnished with homes in families. Since the organization of the school, more than 2,500 children have been provided for, proving this to be one of the grandest public enterprises ever attempted by any state or country. fi fi AY uyca rj urcrie �The Kitchen a) DIETARY.

It 22" high and 28" wide, and is complete with support arms of "Yok" and clapper. It is made of a special alloy called bell metal, which is composed of 90% bronze and 10% tin, and weighs an approximate inscribed "Meneely's Rotary Yok, Patented October 9, 1860." 500 - 600 pounds. Upon it is The bll School. was located under a wood canopy on top of the roof of the Old Administration Building of the State Public The bell would ring six times to awaken the residents, seven times for break’ast, twelve for lunch, one for school, ve for dinner, and any other time when they wanted the residents to move for special events. On a clear day it could be heard at least three miles away. In 1950, the canopy had started to rot, forcing the removal of the bell by a high crane. At that time, the bell was no longer used, because electric clocks had been installed throughout the facility. It was declared salvage, and offered to the State Conservation Department for use in one of their parks. Eventually, the bell was relocated to Proud Lake Park, near Brighton, Michigan, where it was used to call campers to dinner. An excerpt from a 3-13-75 memorandum written by E. John Klein, Administrative of cer, to the Superintendent follows: "Soon after I came to work at the Coldwater State Home & Training School in 1960, I was told many things about the history of the "old" institution by my predecessor who had worked here 42 years. One part of the history concerned a large bell which was, as lI remember it, located in a cupola on the old Administration Building and was used to signal reveille, mealtime, close of the school day, bedtime, etc. I inquired as to the whereabouts of the bell, and was told that in 1950 it was transferred to the then Department of Conservation and housed at a state park near Brighton, Michigan. It has been my opinion since being made aware of the bell, its use, etc. that a chapter of this agency's history left here when the bell was removed, and I was hopeful it could, somehow, some day be returned. It follows then to say | think the "rightful place" for the bell is here, and I am very pleased to report to you it has been returned today. This action followed a meeting which took place on March 11, 1975, with a Mr. Russell, Departmernt of Natural Resources, who was here by prior arrangement to look at some surplus beds and furniture. He said the last time he had been to Coldwater was to pick up a bell. It was at this point | "lit up" and told him of my interest to some day have the bell fi fi fi fi fi returned. Much to my surprise he told me he thought it could be made available, and he, too, agreed with me the bell should be here. Another call this morning con rmed availability of the old bell, and I made arrangements to have it picked up immediately. It is my wish that a suitable and tting location on these grounds be designated as the of cial site to place this historical "piece of the past" for both the people of the Institution and Community to see and remember as a monument to prior generations serving those in need." �MEMORIAL TO GEORGE PALAMAKI 1921 - 1978 IN RECOGNITION OF HIS LIFETIME OF SERVICE TO THIS FACILITY THIS BELI STATE PUBLIC WHICH THE AND ITS WAS A VITAL PART RESIDENTS OF DAILY LIFE AT SCHOOL.

In 1979, the bell was relocated to the park site at the faclity and set in an enclosure which was fabricated from the bricks, slate, iron grill work and other artifacts from the original main or "administration building" built in 1874. A memorial plaque at the base of the bell reads as follows: "Memorial to George Palamaki, 1921-1978. In recognition of his lifetime of service to this facility and its residents. This bell was a vital part of daily life at State Public School, founded in 1874, from which the present day facility emerged. George Palamaki came to the Stale Public School as an orphaned baby, and was raised in the school. He later became a trusted employee of the facility and dedicated his life and career to serving the institution.

When rst opened in 1874, just outside the city limits of Coldwater, the insittution was a moderate-size home for dependent and neglected children. At the present time, the home has grown into a seemingly self-suf cient town with its own laundry, bakery, hospital, and residence buldings. Now, however, the patients are not entirely neglected or orphans, but are mostly peopled with mental de ciencies. In 1935 the initial patients having mental retardation were admitted, and since then only the retarded are allowed to enter the stated-operated institution. Contrary to what some may believe, the term mental retardation is in no way synonymous with mental illness or the insane. Feeble-mindedness or mental defectiveness is a condition in which the mind has not reached complete or normal development. Causes for mental retardation are many and include heredity (although two mentally de cient people can have a perfectly normal child); injury at time of birth or chilhood; encephalitis of meningitis, an in ammation of the membrances of the spinal column or brain; and disorders of the endocrine glands. In the beginning only patients with the higher types of retardation were admitted. This restriction continued for four years and then all degrees of the mentally retarded were accepted. On the grounds there are 27 patient-care buildings including a 300 bed nursery that cares for chlidren until they reach the age of six. Since 1950 many additions have been made at the school. A new laundry, a 150 bed hospital, a medical laboratory, a pharmacy and picnic fi fi fi fl fi fi fi fi grounds have made living and working easier for both the 2,900 patients and 900 employees. In 1958 a vocational training bulding opened. This new addition contains a modern woodworking and machine shop. Also a complete unit of homemaking is located there. The latter unit includes bedroom space, living room area, dining alcove and three complete kitchens. A dressõmaking and sewing area is also contained. Here a patient can learn and practice vocations. A full time training program for the patients who have suf cient mentality to bene t from it is in effect. Through this program a patient is assigned to work in and about the instituion. Vocational training is done in the nursery, bakery, laundry, repair shops and other services on the grounds. Aftera patient has established skills and good work habits he is referred for employment off the grounds. An academic program for children is also offered. Here the youngsters are taught until they can make no further progress, or until they reach the age of 16 or 17, at which time they transfer to the vocational training departrment. Many forms of therapy had also been quite recently added to the home. At present a full time speech and hearing therapist is employed, one occupational therapist and two psychotherapists. Hotter valve operations (for the hydocephalus) have been issued and a chiropodist service provided. Religious and recreational bene ts are also offered to the patients. All kinds of athletic equipment are available and parties and picnics are held periodically. For Catholic patients, instruction in catechism and Mass is provided by the convent and priest. Protestant patients may attend services Sunday afternoons with the local pastors in charge of the services. �"I Grew Up in Coldwater" Facebook Page Comments 12y Like Candee Arnold Terry Mulchahey tRising contributor It was a very sad place to visit. I remember volunteering therewhen I was young, and many children were just dropped off because they were handicapped mentally or physically or parents just didn't or couldn't take care of them. When the State Home and Training Schoolwas closed,many adults were relocated in the community and lived on their own (with assistance of course). 9y Author My dad had an interesting history at the Coldwater facility. He was a Field Representative from 1927 to 1936 while it operated as the State Publ’c School which was essentially an orphanage operating on what was called a cottage plan. Hence, the old postcards of infants and little children playing in front of "the baby cottages." In 1936, the facility transitioned to care of the developmentally disabled and my dad moved on to other social welfare work for the state. In 1952, we moved to Coldwater when he took the position of Director of Social Services for what was then the Coldwater State Home and Training School, a position he held until he became Director of Community Relations in 1960. He retired in 1969 from that 2 Like Michelle O'Neill position. The photo is one I found on the internet.

More than 900 persons are employed there with a payroll of $3,91 6,863. Book population of patients, including those under care, in family care, on vacation, and on a convalescent status totaled 3,231. According to an economic base study compiled by the economic study committee of the Branch Planning Commission, in the last two decades, the most important factor in the growth of employment in the county has been the State Home. Ann, you're right. I'l quote from the history of the State Public School that my father wrote. "The plan which evolved resulted in the establishment of a family cottage type plan institution, to which children were to be sent by Superintendents of the Poor of the various counties on proof of their dependency on the publick for support. The institution was to be a temporary home only, and during his stay at the school the child was to be trained to go into a foster home where he was to be supervised by a state agent in each county. The law was passed and signed April 17,1871, creating the rst governmental instituion ever establised for dependent children, where poverty was the only price of admission." The School became a model copied by other states in the late 19th century. fi fi fi fi fi 12y Like �State School (Main Building) oldwater, Mich. 1?o9 The Fountain 1 When the fountain was no longer needed, it was relocated to a home on West Pearl Street.

Prangley said that, "Since the old administration building is not being used for housing or classes, it seems lke it could be possible to have it remodeled into a museum depicting the growth and changes of the institution itself.

The silk star-broidered coverlid Unto her limbs Languidly itself doth mould, ever ; and, amid Her full black ringlets downward rolled Glows forth each softly-shadowed arm With bracelets of the diamond bright; Her constant beauty doth inform Stillness with love, and day with light. in which the | 20 �ae ay TTUSaae eee Nin BPs en alle Ds etal ere oe She sleeps: her breathings are not heard In palace chambers far apart. The fragrant tresses are not stirred That lie upon her charmed heart. She sleeps: on either hand up swells The gold-fringed pillow lightly pressed ; “She sleeps, nor dreams, but ever dwells A perfect form in perfect rest. THE PRINCE. He comes, scarce knowing what he seeks; He breaks More The the hedge; close and magic he enters there; close his footsteps wind ; music in his heart, Beats quick and quicker, till he finds The quiet chamber far apart. 0 No. 450.

Tn presenting Coldwater Illustrated to the public, I do not pretend to have supplied “a long felt want,” as is modestly claimed by many publishers under similar circumstances, but I sincerely hope that this little work will not be devoid of some point of interest to its every reader. It has been my aim to give, not so much a history of what our city has been in the past, as a correct representation in pictures of it as it appears to-day; flTlfl in doing this I believe I am furnishing you with a work which will not only ,be an interesting one to our citizens here at home, but will at the same time be the means of giving more practical information concerning our city as it really is, to persons in other parts of the country seeking to know something of us, than can be conveyed by other means. If at the same time it shall so draw attention to our city as a desirable place of residence or business as to induce many other people to come and settle with us, I shall be content. Coldwater, April i, 1SS9. J. S. Conover. �7 �COLDWATER. The city of Coldwater, with its many beautifully shaded streets, elegant resi­ dences, imposing business blocks, fine churches and schools, and its intelligent citizens, has acquired a reputation throughout the country as one of the most beau­ tiful little cities in our land. It is on the main line of the Lake Shore & Michigan Southern Railway, 155 miles east from Chicago, 88 west from Toledo, and 128 Southwest from Detroit. It is the center of a large and important trade, and is the central market for farmers’ products for quite a large territory. The city is finely laid out, most of the streets at right angles, and lined on either side with beautiful maples, giving a most delightful appearance during the summer. The residences are largely of a very fine order, many of them especially so, and very few indeed are of an inferior"order; quite a number of them are illus­ trated in these pages, and give affair idea of the- taste of our people in this particular. The present population is about - 6,000, and there are several hundred business establishments of various kinds, all doing prosperous business. A brief historical sketch of events in the earlier days of Coldwater, will not be out of place at this time. �10 Coldwater Illustrated. THE FIRST HOUSE IN COEDWATER, Which is pretty fairly represented in the engraving below, was built by Joseph Hanchett, and was located just in the rear of the present store of E. R. Clarke & Co., and the stump where he and his neighbors pounded their corn is also shown in this cut. This log house, with one or two little shanties further east, was all that constituted COLDWATER IN 1831. Fifty-three years ago, Mr. and Mrs. Lorenzo D. Crippen lived in this house, and to Mrs. Crippen’s vivid recollection of the old house, with its every log and stick, is due the ability of the artist to here reproduce it for the benefit of our readers. What a transition’from this pioneer dwelling, planted here in the wilderness, to the beautiful city we have to-day! One of the first frame buildings erected in town was a part of the old “Oriental Hotel,” still standing in the east part of the city. Another of the pioneer houses was built by Hugh Campbell on the spot where the north wing of the Lewis Art Gallery now stands. The first sermon ever preached in Coldwater was delivered in July, 1831, by Allen Tibbits, who came to this county in that year, and in 1832 he, with Mr. Hanchett, laid out the village, naming it Lyons; but the following year the name was changed to Coldwater, from the little river near by, which the Indians had thus named — in their language “ Chuck-sen-ya-bish. ” The removal of the county seat from Branch to this place in 1840 gave it a vigorous start, which was still further enhanced after the completion of the Michigan Southern railroad to the vil­ lage, which was in 1851. �Coldwater Illustrated. ii Among the first business men to locate in Coldwater was L. D. Halsted, who came here in 1836 and opened a tailor shop. He is still residing here, enjoy­ ing the fruits of a life of activity, and has seen Coldwater grow from the little hamlet of that day to the elegant city.it is to-day. POST OFFICE, COLDWATER—OWNED BY D. B. DENNIS, POSTMASTER. In February, 1837, t^ie village was incorporated, and at the first election held thereafter, Hon. Hiram Allen was elected President; Hiram Shoudler, Recorder; William H. Cross, Silas A. Holbrook, Joseph Hanchett, Reuben J. Champion, Harvey Warner and John J. Curtis, Trustees. A city charter was obtained in 1861, and ever since that time there has been a steady growth in population, business, and attractiveness, until to-day no city of its sizejin the country can surpass it. �12 Coldwater Illustrated. THE LEWIS ART GALLERY. Nothing has given to Coldwater a more enviable reputation with people of cul­ ture throughout this whole country than the possession of this celebrated gallery. The collection of paintings and statuary is said to be the largest on the continent; and in point of merit will compare favorably with any other. After having given special study to the subject of the fine arts, Mr. Henry C. Lewis, during a tour in Europe, purchased a large part of this collection, and on his return to this country' he erected the south part of the present gallery, which he filled with that collection. He after- LEW1S ART GALLERY. wards purchased the larger part of the celebrated “Thompson collection,’’ and erected for its accommodation the north addition, 40x40 feet. Both parts are finely lighted by sky-lights, with ceilings twenty-five feet high, and are filled in every available niche with rare and costly works of art. Every Saturday the gallery is thrown open free to the public, and the spacious rooms are thronged by people from far and near, who come to enjoy the artistic treat so generously furnished them. Mr. Lewis died in 1884, but his estimable widow has continued to give the public the same hearty welcome to this realm of art that characterized her husband. �Coldwater Illustrated. RESIDENCE OF J. F. PRATT, COR. DIVISION AND WASHINGTON STREETS. RESIDENCE OF J. B. PIERCE, MONROE STREET. 13 �14 Coldwater. Illustrated. CHURCHES. The city contains seven churches, representing the Presbyterian, Baptist, Meth­ odist Episcopal. Wesleyan Methodist, Episcopal, German Lutheran and Catholic denominations, each having pleasant and commodious houses of worship, several of which are of elegant style and proportions, and are here illustrated. METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH. On the 19th day of June, 1832, the Methodist Episcopal Church, of Coldwater, was organized by Key. E. H. Pilcher, D.D. It consisted then of but four members, namely, Allen Tibbits, Caroline W. Tibbits, Joseph Hanchett and Nancy Hanchett. �Coldwater Illustrated. 15 The pioneer religious society of Coldwater. In 1835 this society received great acces­ sions of strength by the immigration of James Fisk, Philo H. Crippen, L. D. Crippen and others, with their families. The first M. E. Church edifice was erected in 1836 on the ground occupied by the present edifice. This building of wood gave way, in 1865, to the present well furnished and commodious brick structure, which was erected at a cost of $30,000. FIRST PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH. During its entire history the society has been prosperous. From a membership of four in 1832 it has passed to a membership, including recent accessions by probation, of about one thousand. Probably no religious society of the land, in a city of the size ot Coldwater, has a larger membership. Its Sabbath school numbers over 500 and is constantly increasing. The present pastor is Rev. Wesley A. Hunsberger. �i6 Coldwater Illustrated. The First Presbyterian Church, of Coldwater, Mich., was organized Sept. 30, 1837, ™ a red school house, ou the northeast comer of Pearl and Hudson streets. It was composed of eighteen persons at the beginning. From the day of its organization it has maintained a continued activity, and in 1887 the semi-centennial was celebrated with four days’ meetings, from Sept. 29 to Oct. 2. Along with the Methodist and Baptist urches, the Presbyterian Church shared largely in infusing into the people, during the first twenty years of the city’s life, that degree of religious and moral sentiment that has raised it above the average of Michigan towns of it size. The present membership of the church is about 300. , The. first pastor of the church was the Rev. Charles W. Gurney, who began his work immediately after the organization. He died in the village in 1841, and his remains now lie buried in Mr. Samuel Denison’s lot in Oak Grove Cemetery. The first house of worship, or 41 meeting house,” was erected in 1844, on the lot just north of the present Baptist Church. A second much larger building was projected in 1864, and completed in 1869. Meanwhile, the first building was sold to the Lutheran Society, and with some changes is now used by them as their house of worship. The present church edifice. standing on the comer of Marshall and Church streets, is the largest church building in the city. It is a plain but imposing structure of brick, capable of , easily seating 700 persons in the principal audience room, with large rooms for Sunday school and social meetings below. The present pastor is Rev. H. P. Collin. ST. MARK’S CHURCH. The first sendee of the Episcopal Church in Branch County, was held in the eariy springtime of 1832, in a log house, by the Rt. Rev. Philander Chase, D.D. first Bishop of Ohio, who owned and lived on a section of land on Gilead lake four years. St'S Pans11 was in Coldwater, February 29th, 1848.

The \oung Men s Christian Association occupies pleasant and commodious rooms in the Old Bank Building. The Reading Room on the second floor—pleasant and well lighted—is one of the best in the State. On file are the leading daily and weekly papers, and the best foreign and domestic magazines. In all, forts -two periodicals. Here is a library of 300 volumes also. Adjoining this room is the office of the General Secretary. On the third floor is Association Hall, having a seating capacity of about 200. Connected with this room by folding doors is the Members’ Parlor, nicely furnished, and supplied with various games, organ, piano, etc. On the floor above is the Gymnasium, equipped with the best of modem apparatus for body-building, and in charge of a competent instructor. On the third floor, and reached from the second floor by a separate stairway, are the rooms of the Boys’ Branch, a Reading Room well fitted up with boys’ papers, a library, etc., and a game room in which are checkers, crokinole and other games. The Association was organized June 15, 1884, with fifteen members. membership, exclusive of the Boys’ Branch, is 204, and steadily growing. Now its The work is divided into four departments: Spiritual, intellectual, social and physical, and in each is carried on such lines of work as will best develop well-rounded young men. The work is conducted by committees, under the direction of the Board of twelve Directors, President, Vice-President, Secretary and Treasurer. The Association employs a competent General Secretary who is in charge of all the work. �COLDWATER PUBLIC LIBRARY �EDVTN -R. CLARKE LIBRARY BUILDING. RESIDENCE OF J. S. CONOVER.

The public schools of Coldwater have long ranked among the best in Michigan. In the vear 1870 the authorities of the University of Michigan announced that the graduates of such high schools in the State as should satisfy the University Faculty as to the extent and thoroughness of their courses of study would be admitted to that institution without further examination. HIGH SCHOOL. The Coldwater schools were among the first to obtain the benefits of this privi­ lege, and a considerable number of the high school graduates have since been admitted to the University “on diploma.’’ This advantage, and other merits of the school, have drawn students from without the city, and, at present, about twenty per cent, of those �Coldwater Illustrated. 27 enrolled in the high school are non-residents. The rates of tuition are reasonable, the cost of board moderate, and the social and religious opportunities unexcelled. A recent circular issued by the Board of Education contains the following : “ The High School offers four courses of study, viz.: Classical, Eatin, Scientific, and English. Students who have completed any one of these may be admitted to the University of Michigan without entrance examinations. Those who, for good reasons, SECOND WARD SCHOOL. do not wish to enter on one of the regular courses as candidates for a diploma, will be permitted to select, from the different courses, such branches as they seem prepared to pursue profitably. “It will be the general aim to make the instruction and work in all classes thorough and, in the highest sense of the word, practical. “ Students have access to the Coldwater Free Public library, which now contains over 7,000 volumes, all of which have been selected with great care, and to which fre­ quent additions will be made. Every possible effort will be made to lead students to an intelligent use of this library in connection with their school work. �28 Coldwater Illustrated. " To those wishing to pursue any of the Natural Sciences, the high school now offers better facilities than ever before. 4' The winter and spring terms will afford excellent opportunities for any who may wish to prepare for the county examinations. In the fall term of 1889 it is the intention to form special classes for those who desire to preparefor teaching. ’ ’ The teaching force of the Coldwater schools numbers twenty-three, including special teachers of music and penmanship. THIRD WARD SCHOOL. The schools occupy four handsome and substantial brick buildings, conveniently located in the several wards. Three of these are heated by steam and one by hot air apparatus. The session rooms are large, well lighted and well ventilated, and all are furnished with single sittings. Liberal appropriations for the purchase of apparatus are made from year to year by the Board of Education, and it is their policy to employ as teachers only such persons as have had experience or professional preparation. Parents seeking educational advantages for their children may rest assured that all reasonable requirements may be met in Coldwater. �Coldwater Illustrated. 29 FOURTH WARD SCHOOL. THE COLDWATER FREE PUBLIC LIBRARY. See Engraving on Page 22. This institution owes its existence to a State law regarding the organization of public libraries by townships and municipalities, which was placed upon our statute books in 1877. The author of the law was Hon. F. E. Morgan, one of our own citi­ zens, and it was framed after much correspondence with leading librarians in the country, like Mr. Poole, of Chicago, and Mr. Homes, of Albany, and after very careful study of the best laws on the statute books of other States. This law allows the Council in any city to adopt a resolution providing for the establishment of a public library, which shall be free to the citizens residing within the city limits, make appropriations therefor, and appoint a board of nine citizens who shall proceed under the law to organize such an institution, make purchases, appoint a librarian, establish all rules and regulations governing the library, and have general control of all its affairs. The Coldwater Free Public Library was established by act of the Council in March, 1880. Without money and without books the Board began its work. There were in the city two moderate sized libraries — the Ladies’ Library of 2,000 volumes and over, and the Public School Library of over 1,000 volumes. These had done good missionary work in creating an interest looking toward the establishment of some­ thing more useful and important. If these could be consolidated the Board felt that a fine nucleus was already provided. By special act of the Legislature this consolidation was effected with the consent of the trustees who had these separate libraries in charge. �3° Coldwater Illustrated. By this act of consolidation the fines appropriated to the School Library were trans­ ferred to the new library. The city Council each year assesses one-half mill on the taxable property of the city as a fund to meet the expenses of the library and purchase books. This with the fines above referred to creates an annual fund of nearly $2,000. Bor several years the library was confined to small quarters. The library com­ prised about6,000 volumes, and it was rapidly becoming evident that the board must stop purchasing unless a suitable building was provided. The board had been antici­ pating this necessity somewhat by securing control of the most centrally located prop­ erty in the dty, but the means to erect a suitable building was a desideratum seemingly very distant in its realization. In the winter of 1885-86, however, Edwin R. Clarke, a leading business man in our city, and highly esteemed, quietly went to work, studied up the question of a library building, and before spring opened laid before the board plans and specifications, drawn by a local architect, M. H. Parker, and offered to erect such a building upon the library lot and fit it up for library purposes. The plan seemed so eminently appropriate for such use that the board accepted Mr. Clarke’s very liberal offer, and to him was committed the task of constructing the building. While this involved a sacrifice of time as well as money on his part, he nevertheless gave it cheerfully, and the relations existing between him and the board were constantly of so pleasant a nature that to him the personal sacrifice became a real pleasure, as he has himself often testified. A cut of this building is shown on another page. It is need­ less to say that the public generally are grateful to Mr. Clarke for his generous gift, and the board but voiced this sentiment in naming the building the “Edwin R. Clarke Libran, Building,” which thus becomes a fitting monument to an active, useful and honorable life. This building was dedicated during the holidays in 1886, and with the beginning of 1887 the new building became the home of the public library. In the summer of 1884 one of Coldwater’s prominent and public spirited citizens died, whose name is widely associated with the Lewis Art Gallery, also located in this city. In his will Henry C. Lewis left to the public library his own elegant collection of books, numbering about 3,000 volumes. These were not to be placed in the library so long as Mrs. Lewis should live, unless she so willed. When the new building was occupied, Mrs. Lewis released her claim upon 1,000 volumes, which were then placed in the library to be used in the building but not to be taken away. With this addition and later purchases the library now numbers 8,072 volumes. No city of the size of Coldwater, and even double the size, in Michigan, has such admirable library facilities as has this little city of less than 6,000 inhabitants. The Library Board comprises the following: Gen. J. G. Parkhurst, President and at present U. S. Minister to the Court of Belgium, at Brussels; A. J. Aldrich, Sec­ retary; Hon. F. E. Morgan, Vice-President, and the framer of the State law under which the library is established; ex-Mayor John R. Champion, H. H. Barlow, Z. G. Osborn, Mrs. H, C. Lewis, Mrs. G. Van Volkenburg and Mrs. H. P. Collin, the last named lady being formerly preceptress in our high school. Miss Mary Eddy acts as librarian. �Coldwater Illustrated. RESIDENCE OF JOHN‘T. STARR, EAST CHICAGO STREET. RESIDENCE OF DR. J. M. LONG, WEST CHICAGO STREET. 3i �Coldwater Illustrated. STATE PUBLIC SCHOOL. This institution was organized by an act of the legislature at its session in 1871, and is a part of the common school system for which Michigan is so well and favorably known. Hon. C. D. Randall, then in the State Senate, was the author of the act, and has been the most active member of the Board of Control ever since its organization. This institution has a two-fold character, being both a home and a school for the children of the poor, and poverty alone is the price of admission It is not in any sense a penal or reformatory institution, but through its merciful agency the State becomes the guardian of its dependent children and restores them to society and a permanent home under paternal influehces. The institution is located just north of the city, on an eminence overlooking the city and surrounding county-. The buildings are on the cottage plan, and are represented on the accompanying cut. The cottages are the homes of the children, each accommodating about thirty children, and each presided over by a lady cottage manager, whose duties are very similar to those of a mother with a smaller family It is made the special duty of the Board of Control to find homes in families for the children, as fast as practicable, and an agent is appointed to attend to this work, and to look after the welfare of the children after thus being placed in homes. The institution is in charge of a Board of Control, appointed by the Governor and confirmed by the Senate, for a term of six years each. The present Board of Control consists of the following persons: Isaac B. Fancher, President, Richmond E. Case, C. D. Randall, Secretary and Treasurer, Mt. Pleasant. Three Rivers, Coldwater. The administration of the ordinary affairs is in the hands of a Superintendent, who is delegated large discretionary authority by the Board, and in whom is princi­ pally the responsibility of success. Wesley Sears is now superintendent of the institu­ tion and Wm. B. Streeter is State Agent. There are about 300 children in the school, new ones being continually received, and the older ones being furnished with homes in families. Since the organization of the school, more than 2,500 children have been provided for, proving this to be one of the grandest public enter­ prises ever attempted by any state or country. * �Coldwater Illustrated.' 33 �34 Coldwater Illustrated. NATURAL GAS. Acting on a firm belief that our city was within the ‘ ‘ gaS belt, ’ ’ a few enterprising citizens went to work in 1887 and organized a company to prospect for gas, oil, or anything else of value that might be found. A well was drilled, and at the depth of a little more than twelve hundred feet a fine showing of gas was obtained, which continued to increase as the drill went down. Believing that a great supply was to be found a little further down, the company pushed ahead, and had the misfortune to have the drill become fastened in the well, and nearly a year’s time and a large amount of money was spent in a vain effort to get it out, and finally the effort had to be abandoned and that well pronounced a failure as far as a supply of gas was concerned; but it demonstrated the fact that there is natural gas below our city, and it is probable that another and more successful effort will soon be made to secure this great boon. RESIDENCE OF GEN. J. C. PARKHURST, CLAY STREET. �Coldwater Illustrated. 35 MINERAE WATER. While drilling a well for natural gas in this city, a very valuable vein of mineral water was found, which has been analyzed and found to surpass, in medicinal qualities, the far famed waters of Ypsilanti and Mt. Clemens, and in the near future there will probably be a Sanitarium built, which will enable this valuable remedial agent to be properly utilized. Already many cures have been effected by its use, which prove, beyond doubt, its wonderful healing power. RESIDENCE or R. G. CHANDLER, WEST PEARL STREET. �/ ) �Coldwater Illustrated. 37 RESORTS. Coldwater is most fortunately situated with reference to pleasant resorts, -where, throughout the season, our people can repair to enjoy the beauties of nature, .and spend a little of their time in such recreation as is afforded by these pleasant places. Tibbits’ Park, an engraving of which is shown on preceding page, is a beautiful piece of woodland on a peninsula extending into Morrison lake, four miles north of the city. It contains twelve or more acres, nicely shaded, and is admirably adapted to the use it is being put to—a resort for pleasure and recreation. B. S. Tibbits, the proprietor, is fitting it up in fine style for the accommodation of the public. His new and commodious steamer, the Scutanawbequon, makes this its ■northern terminus, running from Pilot Knob, in the western part of the city, affording a delightful ride. This steamer will easily carry over three hundred people, and is built with particular regard to both safety and pleasure. The steamer will make regular trips to Tibbits’ Park and the other resorts on the lake on Tuesdays and Fridays of each week during the season, at which times the general public can avail themselves of the charm of a delightful lake ride and a day of pleasure. Excursions and picnics can be accommodated on any other day by special arrangement. TEMPLAR BEACH, Here illustrated, is situated on the east side of Morrison lake, opposite Tibbits’ Park. It is a beautiful beach, comprising about five acres, and is leased and con­ trolled by the K. T. Social Club. Ten or twelve pleasant cottages have been erected, and the families of these valiant Knights Templar spend the summers here. This is not a public resort, but rather a summer home for the families of members of the club. �san soucr, Which is shown above, is a beautiful resort on Coldwater lake, ten miles south from the city. About a dozen cottages have been erected there, and the families who pass the heated term out there declare that it is the loveliest spot on earth. PENINSULA GROVE Is situated about three miles north of the city, at the narrows. . This is the camp ground of the Coldwater District Camp Meeting Association of the M. E. Church, and like Tibbits' Park is situated on a beautiful peninsula, surrounded on three sides with water, and is nicely fitted up for the purpose for which it is used. It is also a pleasant place for picnics, etc. The steamer Sciitanawbeqzcon makes a landing here, affording people who come here the chance to “travel by water.’’ RIVER PARK, Shown on next page, is a new resort, just being fitted up at the river in the western part of the city. It contains about ten acres and is being graded and laid out in nice style. It is to contain base ball, tennis, croquet and archery grounds; a roller slide will afford enjoyment for those who love an exhilarating ride, while swings, row boats, etc., furnish other means of amusement. It is a fine place for picnics. A line of wagonettes at the park will carry you to or from the city for a nickel. There is a landing for the steamer, so people can go up or down the lake as they may desire. This park is owned by A. A. McLaughlin, and he will give a most cordial welcome to all who desire to visit this place. Me. is quiet and unassuming, strictly temperate, and wishes people to understand that there is noth­ ing of the beer garden style about his park. �■RIVER PARK, WEST CHICAGO STREET, COEDWATER. �40 Coldwater Illustrated.

Diogenes plucked a cock and bringing him into the school said, “Here is Plato’s man;” whereupon there was added to the definition, “with broad flat nails.” So the horse has been defined to be a species of quadruped with a certain number of erect or parallel teeth in the upper and a certain number less prominent in the lower jaw, and with an undivided hoof. To the definition so much should be added to convey any adequate idea of the horse of the period that this volume would scarcely contain it. The recreative power of the fleet and stylish roadster to the business man, the professional man, and the brain-workers of the world is coming to be more fully under­ stood and valued accordingly. A glimpse at the road-riders and drivers in any of the metropolitan cities will discover those high in social and business standing the most enthusiastic devotees. The pure, bracing air of the country, the woody smells, the beauty of brake and fem, the flora of the neighborhood, the fields of waving grain, the ever shifting panorama of life and beauty, renders the pursuit of this method of recre­ ation not only pleasant but a health-giving duty. From the earliest settlement of our city and county the breeding of fine horses has been a matter of intelligent, persevering effort, until Coldwater has become the center of the breeding interests of the State. The eyes of the world have been turned toward Michigan by the performances of horses bred and raised in our immediate vicinity; and last year there was inaugu­ rated an enterprise which resulted in the sale of a number of horses, aggregating about $22,000. The present year, Ray Warner and Henry C. Clark, composing the firm of Messrs. Ray Warner & Co., held their second annual combination sale in this city, and propose making this an annual feature in the future. They had fifty per cent larger entries and perhaps a still larger percentage when the quality of the offerings are considered. The value of this enterprise to .bur city and our county can be scarcely over-estimated, for it makes this the distributing point for large sums of money and is advertising the city as widely perhaps as any industry in our midst. So with the finest little city and the most intelligent population, we can add that we have the most fashionably bred and fleetest horses; and as all roads were said to lead to Rome, it may be said all horsemen come to Coldwater. 8 �Coldwater Illustrated.

Coldwater has always been noted for the superior excellence of its local press. There are now six papers published here, as follows: The semi-weekly Republican; the Courier, Sun, and Republican, weekly; Kitchel’s Paper, monthly; and Cold­ water’s Young Men, monthly; they are all extensively read, and their columns bear witness to the literary taste of our people. . THE COURIER. An eight-page, fifty-six column Republican paper, established November 4, 1882. Circulation equal to that of the combined circulation of any two papers published in the county, consequently the best advertising medium. Its excellence as a local paper the prime factor in building up its large circulation, $1 per year, always in advance. Foster & Moore, publishers. THE COLDWATER REPUBLICAN, By that name, was established in August, 1866, by David J. Easton, subsequently it absorbed all other Republican papers in the county, and thus became the direct descendant of the Branch County Journal, which was established in 1851. It is, there­ fore, the oldest and most firmly established paper in Branch County. In 1875 the pres­ ent publishers changed the Republican from a weekly to a semi-weekly, and it has been issued twice each week ever since. A weekly edition is also published. The Repub­ lican occupies a leading position in the State, and while in its political affiliations it is identified with the Republican party, it is noted for its fearlessness and its thorough independence in the discussion of questions pertaining to the public welfare. It has occupied an advance position on all questions pertaining to the reform of the civil serv­ ice, temperance and taxation. As a local paper it is surpassed by none and equaled by few. It circulates among the most intelligent classes in the county, and is, there­ fore, a desirable advertising medium for all who seek to reach the well-to-do people in this community. The semi-weekly is published on Tuesdays and Fridays at $2 per year; the weekly on Wednesdays at $1 per year. A. J. Aldrich & Co., publishers. The Republican office is also one of the best equipped job offices in the State in the line of commercial, poster or pamphlet printing. �44 Coldwater Illustrated. THE COLDWATER SUN. In July, 1SS2, the Branch County Record (published at Coldwater) and the Coldwater Sentinel were purchased by a stock company, consolidated, and a new paper started, called the Coldwater Sun, the first issue appearing July 20, 1882. During its first year it did not meet with great popular favor, but in July, 1883, Mr. W. C. Bailey, who had been foreman of the office most of the time since it opened, be­ came half owner and editor and business manager of the paper. From that time to the present it has grown steadily in prosperity, until it is now one of the finest advertising mediums in Southern Michigan, having a bona fide circulation of nearly 1,800 and steadily increasing; it is the only newspaper in Michigan which rigidly excludes adver­ tisements of liquors, tobacco, patent medicines and every sort of objectionable matter, yet has a lucrative and necessarily high-dass patronage in the advertising line. The Sun’s specialty is local and county news, in which it, beyond any question, leads all its competitors. In politics it is independent, yet advocates without fear or favor temper­ ance and other needed reforms. The office has a fine job printing outfit of both type and machinery and its work is always A 1. In the spring of 1888 Mr. Bailey purchased the interest of his partners in the business, and is now sole proprietor. The subscrip­ tion price of the Sun, which is a nine-column weekly paper, is $1 per year. The Coldwater District Mirror, devoted to the interests of the Methodist Church in Coldwater District, is an eight-page sheet, published monthly at 25 cents per year, and edited by Presiding Elder N. L. Bray. The Sun has the contract for print­ ing it. �Coldwater Illustrated. 45 RESIDENCE OF MRS. ELIZA JEFFERDS. This is one of the most desirable locations about Coldwater.

CLARKE & CO. �5- Coldwater Illustrated. C. A. SPAULDING &. CO.—No. 41 Chicago street, dry goods, cloaks, etc. This firm, so well known throughout this and adjoining counties as one of the representa­ tive houses of Southern Michigan, was established in the year 1866, in its present location, and during all the years that have intervened since that time has constantly held the esteem of the community, and its honorable and expedient business methods have placed it in the van of trade. Mr. Chas. A. Spaulding, the senior partner, has been the active manager of the business from its very start, and to his strict attention to the details of his business, and his thorough knowledge of all the various departments thereof, he has built up the large and profitable business the house now enjoys. Their stock is very large and diversified, and contains everything in the line of dry goods, dress goods, cloaks, shawls, flannels, hosiery, notions, linens, etc., etc., and all selected by Mr. Spaulding with special reference to the wants of this community. DRESS GOODS DEPARTMENT. To cater successfully to the wants of the public on the subject of dress goods requires peculiar qualities in the manager and buyer, as fashion demands constant changes in texture and coloring. Mr. Spaulding seems to be favorably gifted in both of these requirements, as this department has been and is now the most popular one in Branch county. He has so educated himself in the selection of colors that you will find full lines of goods so shaded as to delight the most artistic taste, while the combinations of dress goods and trimmings here displayed can not be excelled. He proves himself to be a thorough student on all these subjects, and now offers to the public the most varied and artistic collection of dress fabrics and elegant novelties in dress trimmings that can be shown by any house in this section. CLOAK DEPARTMENT. Here is a study, and it is here that Mr. Spaulding shows himself to be possessed, of the master mind. Styles change constantly; something new every season; yes, even every month. People demand novelties and yet staple garments that will look well two or three seasons. The selection of styles and qualities requires study, and the fitting and adapting of these garments requires still more. Quick to see and appreciate the needs and wishes of his customers, he continually places before them the most fash­ ionable and stylish garments to be obtained; while a keen sense of what is becoming to the form leads him to make an especial study of the styles suitable for different fig­ ures, and to insist that no ill-fitting garment shall pass from under his hands. With such close attention to the needs of his customers, it is no wonder that C. A. Spaulding & Co. have become the acknowledged leaders in the cloak trade. This department has grown to such an extent with this popular house, that to-day it is the leading department, most especially during the fall season, when every­ body wants a cloak. HOSIERY AND GLOVES. This is a department in which Mr, Spaulding has taken a just pride. In all probability there is not a house in Southern Michigan showing so com­ plete a line of foreign and domestic hosiery. Buying largely from first hands enables them to show much better goods for the money than most competitors. Their popular line of full regular hose at 25 cents has been the wonder of the people. Many goods are of quality usually sold for 35 and 40 cents. In children’s �53 Coldwater Illustrated. hosiery the assortment is just immense, showing the ^re^St' ^uaranteed not to •quality.

BURROWS—Furniture dealers and funeral directors, No. 43 Chicago This is one of the best known business establishments in the city. Mr. Brown has been engaged in the furniture trade here for twenty-five years and any Pe^n m hnimtv thinking of furniture, naturally associates his name with it. About y*ars %o A R Burrows, who has made the furniture business his calling for forty-four ;Ss became associated with him in the business, and both are now giving their whole attention to their business. �54 Coldwater Illustrated. They cany a very large and extensive stock of all kinds of furniture, from the finest upholstered and nchly finished work to the more common kinds. The four floors of their buildings are literally crammed full of goods, as is also the large addition in the rear, extending over and beyond the alley. People who have not been through their establishment can have no conception of the magnitude of their stock. Their trade is not confined to this city, but extends all through the country adjacent to Coldwater, and their long and successful business career is evidence of their popularity with their customers. In the department of undertaking and funeral directing they take the lead making this a very special feature of their business. They are always in readiness to attend to calls in this line, either in city or country. Both members of the firm have resided in Coldwater for many years, and are regarded as among the solid and substantial men of the community and have the esteem and confidence of their fellow-citizens. Both have served in the city council mid Mr Burrows now represents his ward in that body, and is also chairman of the Board of Health of the city. C.J.STULTING—New York Bakery. This establishment is one that is well known to the citizens of Coldwater, having been established at its present location for many years. Mr. Stulting has been in charge of it for eleven years. He gives his own personal attention to all the details of his business, and has worked up a fine trade in all kinds of baker’s goods, confectionery, etc. His lunch room is commodious and pleasant, and is the ffivonte resort of people from city and country, who appreciate a fine lunch, and they are sure to find all the delicacies of the season. His bread, cakes pies, etc., are pronounced the very best, while his home-made bread stands high in the estimation of his customers. He invites all his friends to visit him when in town. MISS S. L. ETHERIDGE—Millinery. No review of the mercantile interests of Coldv ater would be complete without a reference to the millinery establishment of Miss S. L. Etheridge, at No. 44 Chicago street. Five years ago she began to cater to the trade of this community, and the fact that to-day she is the sole survivor of all the. millinery firms doing business at that time is sufficient evidence that her enterprise, taste and styles have met with public appreciation, and it is now only a question of her ability to turn out all the work entrusted to her establishment. It is within the bounds truth to say that she employs a greater number of skillful and high-priced assistants than anj similar store in this section, and her trade, of course, receives the benefit She has standing orders with the leading jobbers of the country for all the novelties in hats, bonnets, ribbons, laces, velvets, plushes and everything essential to carry in a firstclass millinery store. Her stock is always new and fresh, her prices moderate, her styles recherche, and her work invariably satisfactory. Her trade is not by any means limited to this city or county, but she has regular customers in thirteen of the States and Territories. Her store is a palace of fashion for everything in her line, and her city trade comprises all the devotees of society. If good goods, fair treatment and strict atten­ tion to business will assist in maintaining her position as the leading milliner of Cold­ water, her place among the business houses of the county is one to be envied for years to come. She has adopted the exclusive cash system, which was considered a novel innovation for a millinery establishment, but it has proven a great success with her, and enables her to give her customers the benefit of the very lowest prices. �Coldwater Illustrated. 55 Chicago Street, No. 33, Starr Block, Coldwater, Michigan.

This is one of the larg­ est mercantile establishments in the city, and one that is deserving of more than a passing notice. Mr. Starr is one of those energetic, hustling young men that infuse life and activity into a community, and whose natures naturally place' them in the front rank among business men. He carries one of the largest stocks of general hardware in Southern Michigan, occupying all four floors of the building here represented, together with a large two-story warehouse in the rear. Among the articles to which he gives special attention may be mentioned Garland stoves and ranges, Paris range, Jewell gasoline stoves, Snjith & Anthony furnace, Alaska refrigerators, carpenters’ tools, mill and factory supplies, etc. Mr. Starr gives his entire personal attention to the supervision of his business, and is enjoy­ ing a very large trade. Having always lived in this city, he has grown up with the place, and has the respect and confidence of the entire com­ munity, and will no doubt long continue to be one of the prominent business men of Coldwater. lamps, crockery, etc., Old Bank Building, Cold­ water. A visit to this store is sure to impress one at once with admiration. The pro­ prietors seem to have acted on the maxim that “ first impressions are every thing. ” The remarkable taste that is displayed in the arrangement of the goods in the various departments of this store, is a great compliment to the proprietors, who certainly spare no pains nor expense to make their store attractive. In the grocery department they keep a full line of all the staple and fancy goods, and by reason of their handling the best of goods and selling at low margins, they are C. W. LAKE & CO.—Groceries, enjoying a large trade. Their crockery department is literally crammed with the different wares, from the common to the most elegant styles, and customers can always be sure to find just what they may want in this line. In lamps they lead the trade, and the various styles which they exhibit at once captivate their friends and’speak volumes for themselves.

WOODWARD. H. J. WOODWARD & SON. “ Nothing succeeds like success.” So with the well known cash dry goods and carpet firm of H. J. Woodward & Son, doing business at 23 Chicago and 1 Monroe st. Eleven years of steadily increasing business under the plan of cash and uniform prices has brought them to the front as reliable and painstaking dealers. Their salesrooms, with high ceilingsand plate fronts, covering 5,850 square feet of floor surface are among the finest, most attractive and modem in the city. One on enter­ ing is impressed, not only with the full and complete stocks, but the fine displays, general neatness and care which prevails. They employ from eight to fifteen people, and use the rapid cash car system, a great time and labor saving device for making change. Fifteen different departments are maintained and supplied with the choicest selections which the markets afford; we will enumerate them as follows: 1. Dress goods, silks and trimmings. 2. Table linens, napkins and towels. 3. White goods, embroideries and laces. 4. Wash dress goods. 5. Flannels and cassimeres. 6. Domestics. 7. Gents’ furnishing goods. 8. Yams and hosiery. 9..

Active preparations are now going on for the spring trade, and especially in their house furnishing departments. 4 �Coldwater Illustrated. T. A. HILTON.—Groceries and meats, Nos. 4 and 6 Monroe street. No house of its line within the past few years has made greater progress than this one. In many re­ spects it is a remarkable concern. Established at its present location in 1884, it at once took front rank among the business institutions of the city, and has ever since enjoyed a very large patronage. Mr. Hilton came to this country from England nineteen years ago, a boy thir­ teen of age. He proved to have the elements of success in him, and from humble wav of employment, constantly grew in favor as he advanced to posi­ tions of=trust and responsibility, proving himself worthy of the success which has crowned his efforts in his present business. He has the largest and finest grocery house in the city, which is literally crammed with staple and fancy groceries of all kinds. In the fall of 1888 Mr. Hilton suffered a partial loss of his stock by fire, but with his char­ acteristic energy he at once refilled his store with an immense stock of new goods, and at the samp time adopted the exclusive cash system, which has proven another wise step as, by enabling him to sell on smaller margins, he has largely increased his sales. His meat department is a model one, and constantly stocked with the choicest meats, poultry, etc., to be found in the country, and justly entitles him to the large patronage he enjoys. . The great success which has attended his efforts is a compliment to the persist­ ence and business tact which he has displayed, and a well deserved recognition of that infusion of young blood into the business community- which strengthens it beyond dis­ pute. If any house in the city- can claim to be a representative one in its line of trade, it is this one, for it ranks with the foremost in every particular that goes to make up a complete and first-class establishment. Mr Hilton is a general grocer, and handles everything pertaining to the grocery­ business, and buys in such quantities as to insure ability to sell at the lowest prices. He has a stock of staple goods, such as sugars, syrups, provisions, etc., a large and well selected stock of teas of all grades, making a specialty of his famous Rose Leaf and Pan fired teas, -which have had such large sales, and an excellent stock of the vari­ ous kinds of coffees. t , He also deals extensively in fancy groceries, always keeping in stock a large and desirable line of shelf goods and grocers’ sundries. In fact, he keeps a fine assortment m all the lines of his trade, and his patrons are sure to be pleased with his goods and prices. Mr. Hilton enjoys the respect and confidence of the community in which he resides. He is now ably representing his ward in the City Council, and devotes the same care and watchfulness to the affairs of the city that has characterized him in his own business. Mr Hilton runs a farm in the western part of the city, specially to help his busi­ ness. There he receives and properly cares for the live stock intended for his market, and puts it in the very- best condition before offering it to his trade. This is one of the secrets of his always having the finest meats in the county On this farm he also makes a specialty of raising berries and small fruits, especially for his trade, and is thus enabled to furnish these luxuries in their season perfectly fresh and fine. In his market he gives the utmost care to the curing of meats such as hams, bacon, etc,, as well as to rendering lard, and preparing such other.articles as are called for in a first-class market. In adopting the exclusive cash system, as noted above Mr. Hilton felt that he was making an innovation; but he pushed right ahead, and has conquered a success, and is the only grocer in Coldwater doing business strictly on that basis. �Coldwater Illustrated. 59 and shoes, No. 16 Chicago street. This is one of the oldest and best known business institutions in the city. It was established by Mr. H. H. Flandermeyer, who has been in the boot and shoe trade in Coldwater for about thirty years. A few years ago he was succeeded by Mr. Stroh, who has infused new life and ■energy into a business already long established and well known to our people. Mr. Flandermeyer remains with the house, and by his thorough knowledge of the business, and extended acquaintance with the people of this county, is an invaluable assistant to the present proprietor. Mr. Stroh carries a very large and well selected stock of boots, shoes, slippers, rubbers, etc., for all classes and conditions of people. The finest ladies’, misses’ and children’s shoes, in all the late styles; gents’ shoes, in all grades of goods, from the finest to the more ordinary grade of goods; and all at the lowest living prices. The farmer, also, can find at this store a stock of footwear just suited to his needs, and warranted to stand the hard wear and tear that is expected of them. In every department his stock will be found full and complete, and customers ■can rely upon fair treatment, good goods and low prices. This house has established a reputation of high character in the trade, and sup­ plies the public with a class of goods that is unsurpassed-as regards superior quality and lowest prices. If you are not in the habit of trading there, call and see them, and they will be glad to show you their stock. H. M. BURNELL—Watches, clocks, jewelry, etc., 50 Chicago street.

He guarantees all work done by him to be satisfactory, and his prices will be found the most reasonable. He carries a fine line of silverware, clocks, watches, jewelry and optical goods, and feels confi­ dent that he can suit the taste of everybody. The very best of standard goods and all the newest nov­ elties in his line can be found at his store. He specially invites all intending purchasers of goods in his line to call and look over his goods and prices, feeling assured that he can make it to their interest to make their purchases of him. V. L. NETTLETON—Hardware, stoves, etc., 45 Chicago street. This business Bas been conducted for the past twenty-two years by D. Nettleton, the father of the present proprietor. Mr. V. T- Nettleton, who has just purchased the business, has spent many of these years in his father’s employ, and thus brings into the business the advantages of a ripe experience in this line of trade and a thorough knowledge of the wants of the people of this vicinity. His stock will at all times be found full and complete, and embraces everything required for a general hardware stock. The Peninsular stove is one of his specialties, and he is ever ready to show its merits to his friends. Besides this, he keeps a large line of stoves for coal and wood, in parlor, cooking and all other styles. His stock of shelf hardware, cutlery, etc., is full and complete, and he asks the public to examine it carefully and compare his goods and prices with those of any other similar concern. E.

B. H ELLEN BERG.—Coldwater turning factory. This is an enterprise of considerable importance, and is the outgrowth of a very small beginning. Mr. Hellenberg commenced his busi­ ness in a small way a few years ago, renting a small room in rear of Sherman & Chandler’s planing mill. The increase of his business compelled him to make several removals to secure more room, and in 1887 he erected his present factory, where he now has facilities for getting out a. very large amount of work. He manufactures almost everything in the way of turned work, giving special attention to Indian clubs, dumbbells, ball clubs, mallets, etc., which he ships all over the country, supplying many wholesale dealers. . . He gives careful personal attention to all the details of his business, and employs quite a force of experienced assistants, and his business is one of the growing indus­ tries of Coldwater. W. A.

S POLLOCK —Lumber yard, Chicago street. This business was established about twenty years ago by H. T. Smith. Mr Pollock purchased the business eight years ago, and by his thorough knowledge of the business, and the careful attention given to it, he has built up a very large trade. He handles all kinds, including the finest and best grades as well as commofi stock of lumber, lath, shingles, pickets, posts, etc., etc and also lime, roofing paper, plastering hair, etc., and sells at as low prices as any other similar concern. He superintends his business in person, and by fair dealing and prompt attention to orders has won the respect and confidence of the community. �Coldwater Illustrated. 6i A Short History of the Most Noted Boot and Shoe Man in Coldwater, Mich. After having a short interview with E. D. Luedders, I find him to be a live, spirited busi­ ness man, and that he came to Coldwater, Mich., in the fall of 1865, when he began to work for the firm of H. H. Flandermeyer & Bro., makers of men’s boots and shoes. In the fall of 1867 he was sent to Quincy to help carry on his em­ ployers’ business there. But Mr. Flandermeyer soon sold out his business in this place. From here I find that he went to Hillsdale, where he worked but a short time. He now returned to Coldwater, and went into the employ of Messrs. Flandermeyer & Bro. Here he worked until the spring of 1877, when he engaged in a boot and shoe business of his own, starting in the small frame building east of Mr. Jas. Anderson’s marble works, but now occupied by Messrs. Gibbs and Hanley for a harness shop. Here his business increased so rapidly, and not having room for his stock, he removed to the H. N. Moore block, which place he now occu­ pies. In examining his large stock of good goods, I find that he handles only the best makes both of the East and West. Some of his principal makes are E. C. Burt & Co., New York; D. Armstrong & Co., Rochester, N. Y.; Reynolds Bros., Utica, N. Y.; Pingree & Smith, Detroit, Mich.; G. W. Ludlow & Co., Chicago, and his principal makes of boots are Parks & Hazzard and S. R. Heywood & Co. He always has the latest styles in gentlemen and ladies’ wear. You can always find a large assortment of W. L. Douglas and James Means $3.00 shoes, and the Douglas $2.00 shoe for boys, in button, lace and congress. The principal features of his business are that all his goods are marked in plain figures, and that he has only one price on his stock. By his fair and square dealing, good goods and low prices, he has won the respect of the whole com­ munity, and is doing the largest retail business in the county. When you want goods that are good, try E. D. Luedders, of Coldwater, who leads them all in good goods at low prices. A LEAF FROM LIFE.—They were both plainly but neatly dressed, a real sample of the thrifty and tidy housewife. They had just alighted from their carriage, and were preparing to go about their shopping, when the following conversation took place: “ Where are you going to sell your butter and eggs?” “Oh, to White & Brown, of course.” “ Are you not going to look around and see where you can do the best?” “Oh, no; I never have to do that, for they always pay the highest market price in cash, and I am sure of getting fair weight and honest count. Besides, I always buy my groceries of White & Brown, because their goods are nice, fresh, clean and cheap, and, do you know, they always have the nicest teas to be found in the city. And say, you just ought to try their coffees'once. They have any kind you want, from a cheap, com­ mon Rio to a genuine Arabian Mocha, and the finest Old Government Java I ever tasted. Oh, they are just elegant!” “Well, well! I never supposed they kept such a nice stock, they are such quiet fellows, but I believe I will go there myself to-day” �62 Coldwater Illustrated.

ESTABLISHED IN 1883. /IN looking over the history of Coldwater since its foundation, we find no business institution that has had a more healthy and increasing growth than that of L. C. Coller’s Palace of Music and Sewing Machine Em­ porium. This music store is located at number seventy-two (72) West Chicago Street, and is known far and wide as the old reliable place to purchase anything in the music line, from a Jewsharp to a Piano, and in Sewing Machines his stock is always full and complete. Coller’s Palace of Music was established in 1883, and the thorough principles upon which it has been conducted is the full secret of its notoriety. It has always been the aim of the proprietor (Mr. Collet) to keep in his store and sell to his trade the best goods that the factories afford, and more than that, to sell old standard makes in either musical instruments or sewing machines, which are always more reliable and improved. His leading Pianos are the Haines, Sohmer and Steinway, and in Organs the celebrated Storey COLLER’S PALACE OF MUSIC. & Clark and Estey. Mr. Coller has also been General Agent for the Domestic and White Sewing Machines in the county for several years. All of these makes of goods simply speak for themselves. All else we can say to our readers is, go to Coller’s Music Store when you want a good Organ, Piano or Sewing Machine, and you are always sure to get the worth of your money. C. T. YAPP.—Groceries and Provisions, Southern Michigan Hotel Block, Cold­ water. Mr. Yapp is a representative of the young business men of Coldwater. Active, •energetic, self-reliant, he has persistently worked his way to the front, and as a reward for his untiring efforts he now enjoys a fine trade in his line. His store is well stocked with a choice line of all the staple and fancy goods in his department of trade, and he has a happy faculty of making customers feel at home when in his store. He carries a full general stock of groceries and provisions, all of which he sells at the lowest living prices. He makes a specialty of pure teas, coffees, spices, confectionery, etc., and invites careful attention of his friends to his stock of these articles. In the heavier standard goods, such as sugars, syrups, fish, provisions, etc., he thinks he can furnish as good goods and as much of it for the money as any house in Southern Michigan. He keeps a force of pleasant and agreeable assistants, who are always ready to anticipate the wants of customers and are a great help to him in his business. Mr. Yapp’s untiring energy and fine business ability have brought him into such a prominent position among our business men, that a long and successful business career is assured to him. 5 �Coldwater Illustrated. 74 DOWNER A.
