Product Information

Before white settlers came to the area that is now Salem Township, Potawatomi Indians hunted and fished in a forest filled with abundant wildlife. The settlers cleared the trees to work the land and built a lumber mill along Little Rabbit River. Salem was primarily a farming community carved out by hardworking pioneers. Four towns were established to serve this farming community: Diamond Springs to the south, New Salem to the north, and Burnips Corners and Salem Center (now known as Burnips) in the center. In 1855, Salem Township separated from Monterey Township; then, in the 1930s, the discovery of oil brought financial relief to Salem farm families who struggled to maintain their farms. A new wave of residents came to settle in the Salem area as men seeking work in the oil fields brought their families to the community. Book jacket. The Images of America series celebrate the history of neighborhoods, towns, and cities across the country. Using archival photographs, each title presents the distinctive stories from the past that shape the character of the community today. Arcadia is proud to play a part in the preservation of local heritage, making history available to all. Book jacket.

Title: New book celebrates Salem Township history Author: Charlotte Weick Pubslisher: Penasee Globe Date: 1/4/10 Members of the Salem Township Historical Committee literally wrote the book on Salem Township. Published as part of Arcadia Publishing's "Images of America" series, "Salem Township" tells the story of the people and places in the early days of the Allegan County township. Arcadia Publishing is the United States' leading publisher of local and regional history. Established in 1993, the company has over 5,000 titles in print. The authors are Dianna Berens Beaudoin, Jean Loedman Lam and Susan Kipan Welton. Beaudoin and Welton are co-founders of the historical committee and Lam serves as a volunteer and historical committee executive council member. The authors signed a contract with Arcadia in 2008 and submitted the book draft in August of 2009. "All three of us worked very hard on this book," Beaudoin said. Beaudoin, of Burnips, is a descendant of some of the area's first settlers. Welton grew up in Salem Township. She and her 10 siblings were the fourth generation to live in the home built by their great grandparents, who emigrated from Prussia in 1869. Lam, of Holland, grew up in Salem Township and provided historical research for the book. "People love pictures," Beaudoin said. The 128-page book features over 200 vintage photographs, collected by historical committee members. For the past several years, the historical committee has collected photographs and information from local families on the stories behind the pictures. Beaudoin scans the images and saves them in digital format and the original images are returned to the contributors. Because the historical committee has collected hundreds of images, it was difficult to select the pictures to be used for the book, Beaudoin said. The images capture people from the past working, having fun, courting, spending time with family and friends, going to church and attending school. There is also a chapter on Salem Township veterans and a chapter about the "Oil Days" of the township, when oil was discovered in the area. The authors wanted to make certain that the stories and photos of as many families as possible were included. They used several old plat maps which they highlighted as they wrote the book, to make certain that the book represented the entire township as best as possible. The book also credits the name of the person who provided each image. Just because the historical committee has completed the book does not mean that they intend to rest on their laurels, for there is still more work to be done. Committee members are still encouraging locals to take another look in their photo albums and attics to uncover more treasures of Salem Township's past. "Salem Township" is available for $21.99 from Arcadia Publishing at wwwarcadiapublishing.com, or by calling (888) 313-2665. Copies of the book can be pre-purchased online on Amazon and the historical committee will have copies for sale early in 2010. The book could also be available early in the year at various local businesses. For more information about the book, or the Salem Township Historical Committee, contact Beaudoin at dianna.beaudoin@yahoo.com.
