                            OLIVER TOWNSHIP

        Oliver Township seceded from Lake and set up a separate government
     in 1877.  This was done under the order of the Board of Supervisors
     made in 1876.  It is numbered 16 north, of range 11 east.  It is
     bounded on the north by Chandler, on the east by Colfax, on the south
     by Grant, and on the west by Winsor.  The first election was held the
     first Monday in April, 1877, at a school-house on section 3.  The
     first Supervisor elected was F. M. BLACK, who was one of the early
     settlers.  The soil is drained by Pinnepog River and its branches.
        This township did not suffer as much from the fires as the others.
     A large body of timber, mostly hard-wood, still stands waiting the ax
     of the lumberman.  The Pontiac, Oxford & Port Austin Railroad in Win-
     sor runs along near the western line of this township.  There is one
     school, which is located on section 3.  The Lutheran Church has ser-
     vices here, but they have no resident pastor.

                               SUPERVISORS

        The Supervisors of this township since its organization have been
     as follows:
                        F. M. Black . . . . 1877-9
                        S. D. Grumney . . . 1880-1
                        John Oliver . . . . 1882-4
