The Coldwater, Marshall and Mackinaw Railroad passes through the western sections of the town, and will undoubtedly have a station in section six.
Among the notable men of the town at the present time are Messrs. Wood, Weaver, Waggoner, Walker, Thomas, Carpenter, etc.
MARSHALL.
Land entries in Marshall as follows:
October 15, 1830, Noble McKinstry, west half southeast quarter section twenty-five, 67 acres.
June, 1831, large purchases by Geo. Ketchum, H. H. Comstock, I. N. Hurd, Lucius Lyon, etc.
July, 1831, Joseph Beach,
August, 1831, Geo Ketchum, Thos. Bendure.
September, 1831, Geo. Ketchum, Sidney Ketchum, John Bertram, Thos. J. Wheeler, etc.
November, 1831, largely by John Bertram.
It is a noticeable fact that the purchasers of land in this town and in its immediate neighborhood, were men who had their eye to the main chance; in other words, they bought expecting a large advance in a very short time, from the price paid, and, as buying and selling was the order of the day, this advance price was very generally obtained. Men bought and sold in those crazy times often without seeing the property in which they bartered. From the loose and hasty transfer of property, one would naturally look for defective titles, but I am not aware of any important break in the chain of title, and know of no litigation growing out of any defect.
