Van Buren Township- Surface Features-Incidents of Early Settlement-Catalogue of Pioneers-Village of Marion- Industrial Growth-Village of Van Buren-The Dwight and Barnes Tragedy- Learning and Religion:
In June, 1835, Peter and Nicholas I. Sixby entered lands in Section 10 and 14. Solomon Whitney settled in the Crooked Creek neighborhood in 1836, and ROBERT SCOTT, who, however, died after a year's residence. These were families of this neighborhood for several years. Among later comers was, in 1843, Arby Crane, who afterward removed to Lima and LaGrange. His son, Samuel D. Crane, became County Superintendent. When the settlement began to increase after the "sickly season," it was in such a rapid manner as to defy the chronicler. The first burial-place of the neighborhood was on Callahan's land, in Section17, where members of the Callahan family, Philip Munger and ROBERT SCOTT were buried. The earliest public ground was in Section 20, on the White Pigeon road. On the lands of Berry and John Cook, in addition to these, there were private burial-places.
