As you might remember, the 50/50 Raffle was established, thanks to Andy Cleek, back in

2003 as a fund-raiser for the Club. Initially, the win-ning ticket received half of the proceeds with the balance going to the Club’s treasury. A couple of years ago that was changed whereby two winning tickets would be drawn and their owners would each receive 25% of the proceeds. A handful of the regular pur-chasers have won several times, but at the membership meeting on May 8 something happened that never happened before. Two tickets belonging to the same individual were drawn at the same raffle. That person was Mark Wilson and everyone should know that he donated one-half of his winnings to the Club. On be-half of the Club, I thank him for his generosity.

I have reason to believe that someone is selling or giving away our membership list. One of our mem-bers recently showed me a catalog that was sent to

him. This unsolicited catalog was from a company that was unknown to the member. The ad-dress label bore the name “Senior Men’s Club.” Transferring our membership list to anyone for such purposes is a serious breach of trust, and sanctions will be imposed if such a per-son can be identified. If you have received anything of a like nature, please notify me directly.

On June 12 the Club honored twenty-two individu-als who had completed twenty years of membership. They are: Edward Binder, Robert Bradley, Stuart Cammett, Ivor Carter, Robert Davis, Harry Dinge-man, Leo Fitzpatrick, Joe Foerster, Frederick Fordon, George Heidt, Wilson Holsinger, Frederick Lang, James Maurer, Robert Maxon, John Moran, Louis Mueller, James Sanford,

Congratulations! I hope all of you will be with us for an additional twenty years.

Among the highest academic achievers in the se-nior classes from both of our high schools whom the

Club recognized at our meeting on May 26 was the grandson of one of our members, James McNelis. The young man has since graduated from Grosse Pointe North and will enter Yale University in the fall. We wish him and all the graduates from our schools great success as they prepare themselves for the future.

Jim Conway

SpringwellsA Hidden History 1710-1815

Luncheon Meeting - May 8, 2012 Speaker: James E. Conway, HistorianIntroduction by: Ken Van Dellen Invocation by: Rev. Marianna Gronek St. Michael's EpiscopalReported by: Ken Van Dellen

Continued on page 5

Mr. Conway outlined six important events

in the history of Springwells before it became the site of Historic Fort Wayne.

1. Springwells, named for artesian springs that oc-curred there, was the site of a burial mound dating to about a thousand years ago. Built by the Late Woodland Indians, it contained skeletons, pottery, mollusk shells, and stone tools.

2. It was a Potawatomi Indian village from 1710 to 1780. In 1601, Detroit founder Antoine Cadillac had invited the Native Americans to establish villages along the Detroit River near the new French fort, Fort Pontchar-train du D’etroit. The Potawatomi established theirs at a place the French called Bellefontaine (beautiful spring), translated as Springwells.

On December 3, 1760, Nenewas, head of the vil-lage, stood at a council with the newly arrived British, and declared they treat the English as brothers. How-ever, relationships with the British were not as cordial as with the French, and some Potawatomi from Sprin-gwells joined Pontiac’s siege of Fort Pontchartrain, and also fought with the British in Kentucky against the Americans in the Revolutionary War. In 1780, the Potawatomi arranged to sell their land, leaving a former French official in charge of the care of their graves.

In the 1780s and early 1790s, Springwells was the property of Detroit fur trade merchant John Askin. There he built Detroit’s first horse racetrack and, in 1792, a windmill for grinding grain. When he died, most of the land went to his Montreal suppliers to repay business debts.

3. General “Mad Anthony” Wayne’s great victory at Fallen Timbers west of Toledo in 1794 led to the Treaty of Greenville with the Indians and the Jay Treaty with Brit-ain in 1795. In August, 1796, the third phase of the hidden history occurred when General Wayne landed at Springwells to take Detroit and Michigan over from the British, thirteen years after the Revolutionary War ended. [Wayne died of complications from gout that December, on a trip back home to Pennsylvania from Detroit.]

On June 17, 1812, Congress had declared war on Britain at President Madison’s request. Later, seeing British troops in Sandwich Town preparing for war, Detroiters called up their 600-man militia under Judge Witherell. Then, before the expected July 5 arrival of General Hull from Ohio with reinforcements, they learned that war had been declared. (Earlier in the year, Hull had been promoted and given the assign-ment of capturing and occupying Upper Canada, as Ontario was then known.) This set the stage for event four in Springwells history.

4. That occurred on July 4 when hostilities in the War of 1812 began right there. Arriving at Spring-wells on schedule, Hull learned that the militia had fired across the river on British troops, and on July 6 he wrote a letter of apology to the British commander of Fort Malden. Although he explained that the militia had acted on its own initiative, the fuse was lit.

Following the devastating fire of June, 1805, that destroyed nearly all of Detroit, including many histor-ic structures, the City of Detroit was incorporated in

July 2012 5

Continued from page 4

September, 1806. Now the fifth major event in Spring-wells’ hidden history was about to occur.

5. British General Isaac Brock came in from east-ern Canada with reinforcements to Fort Malden, and landed his troops at Springwells beach on August 16, 1812. There he joined forces with Tecumseh and his warriors, who had crossed earlier. General Hull had a superior force, but he surrendered, and the city was again in British hands. Fort Mackinac, on Mackinac Island, had been captured in July, so Michigan was entirely under British control. [Note: A tall tower, the Brock monument, is atop the Niagara escarpment at Queenston, Ontario, on the Niagara River.]

The defeat of the British fleet by Commander Oli-ver Hazard Perry in the Battle of Lake Erie in Septem-ber 1813, forced the British to withdraw from Detroit and Fort Malden. Later that month, General Duncan McArthur, Hull’s second in command, took back De-troit and, effectively, all of Michigan except Mackinac Island. Meanwhile, General William Henry Harrison pursued the British and their Indian allies into Upper Canada, defeating them soundly at the Battle of the Thames at Moraviantown near Chatham. Tecumseh was killed.

The Treaty of Ghent was signed in December of 1814, but Detroiters didn’t learn of it until February of

1815. The war was over, but the Indians had trouble accepting the new peace, so the U.S. decided to make a new treaty with them.

6. Now for Springwells event six. President Madison’s commissioners for the treaty, Gen. Har-rison, Gen. McArthur, and a State Department dip-lomat, chose Detroit as the treaty site, but Territorial Governor Lewis Cass did not want a lot of recently unfriendly Indians in town, so Springwells, site of the future Fort Wayne, was selected. There, on August 31, 1815, Chief Tarhe of the Wyandots, who had fought for the Americans, lit the council fire.

Tecumseh’s brother, known as The Prophet, was waiting at Fort Malden, and Harrison sent him an in-vitation to join the council in peace. He does, in what may have been the first and only meeting of Harrison and The Prophet since Harrison’s troops destroyed The Prophet’s village in the Battle of Tippecanoe in 1811.The Treaty of Springwells was signed on Sep-tember 8, 1815. [Mr. Conway let us see a photocopy of it, with all Native American signatures only a mark except for that of Tarhe. It is on the Web at; http://digi-tal.library.okstate.edu/kappler/vol2/treaties/wya0117.htm

This was an entertaining and informative talk. Probably none of us was aware of any of these events at Springwells.

Early in his life the author, a journalist, a Ca-nadian, and several generations from slavery

made a startling discovery that in 1782 the British transported thousands of African Americans for settle-ment and freedom to Nova Scotia and again in 1792 transported several thousand of these to Sierra Leone to colonize. Who were they and what was their story? Archives named people on the scene. The BOOK OF NEGROS, presented a registry of former slaves whose loyalty to the crown in our rebellion was to be reward-ed. How did they fare? Not so well. In the distant colonies there were bigots and yet on the seas English slavers. In London and about Parliament were both supporters of and opposition to the slave trade. Push-ing for change were missionaries and abolitionists.

How to tell this horrific story of children and mature adults caught in slavery from its beginnings in the Em-pire. The author picks up on the life of a particularly bright young girl from the day she was snatched from the scene of her parents’ murder until she dies of old age. She was witness to historic events, to assaults, murders, suicides at sea and the selling of one and kid-napping of her second child. There is a lost lover and

most every thing happening that an active mind can conjure for others, especially for captives.

There is a second story of John Clarkson and the work of the abolitionists; his influencing Aminata, that is the girl’s name, to abandon her quest to get back to her village, “Bayo near Segu,” and to go to London with John to tell her story. It is of appearing before George III and yes, of the unexpected reward of be-ing reunited with her daughter. It is the story of the power of language, the value of a trade and of learning languages, especially those of your oppressors. Along the way we learned a little of the fate of many of the British soldiers and loyalists compelled to leave the USA under the Treaty of 1783 ending our Revolution and of whom we had given little thought. It was an interesting read.

Our July reading is LES MISERABLES by Vic-tor Hugo. Meetings are on the third Tuesday of the month except there is no August Meeting. September reading is ON CHINA by Henry Kissinger. We next meet July 17th at Dan Beck’s home 25 Roslyn, Grosse Pointe Shores from 5:00pm to 6:30pm.

Grosse Pointe Future in Good Hands

Program: Student Recognition DayIntroduction by: Ben BurnsInvocation by: Rev. James Rizer Grosse Pointe Woods Presbyterian ChurchReported by: Ben Burns

Luncheon Meeting - May 22, 2012

Dr. Matt Outlaw Tim Bearden

Members of “The Great-est Generation,” those

men who served, fought and survived World War II mingled with 21st century youths re-cently at a Senior Men’s Club of Grosse Pointe meeting, and both groups came away im-pressed.

The Senior Men’s Club has about 750 members with an average age north of 75 and a significant number in their 80’s and 90’s. The 21st century visitors averaged about 18-years-old.

The visitors were 38 students from North and South who had achieved perfect or better grade point aver-ages in their four years of high school. Principals Tim Bearden from North and Dr. Matt Outlaw from South introduced the young men and women to the club as they presented certificates of appreciation.

(You get better than a 4 point average by taking ex-tra tough, advanced placement courses in high school some of which qualify for college credit.)

The future of our nation appears to be in good hands. The seniors want to be scientists, doctors, engi-neers, musicians, theatrical producers, artists, or work in international relations or business. They are headed for colleges and universities ranging from Oxford University in Great Britain to the University of Wash-ington in Seattle, North Carolina University in Chapel Hill and Notre Dame in South Bend, IN. A signifi-cant minority of them plan to attend the University of Michigan, our state’s elite educational institution.

A couple of footnotes: 1) Michelle Burns from North was first on their alphabetical list of top gradu-ates. She must come from the smart branch of the Burns family. None of my branch, although high achievers, ever had four years of straight A’s or bet-

ter. 2) Sitting at one table were three generations of the McNellis family including SMC member James McNel-lis V and his grandson, James McNellis VII from North.

School Superintendent Thomas Harwood pointed out a few brag facts about the Grosse Pointe public schools in his introduction; Tromb-ley and Poupard Elementary schools rank in the top six in

Michigan on national ratings and Brownell Middle School ranks second among its 884 peer schools in the state. The two high schools rank in the top 3 percent in the nation with South listed sixth and North 12th among 1,000 top schools. The school system has an AA bond rating. “We believe we are second to none,” Harwood concluded and he makes a good argument. He pointed out that 375 seniors from both schools will graduate with 3.75 averages or better.

Students from North who got four years of A’s or better were: Michelle Burns, Amy Cooper, Jenni-fer Cusmano, Nicole Fricke, Jaclyn Gabel, Roxanne Ilagan, Kevin Kain, James McNelis, Christian Me-lios, Tristan Mora , Kimberly Morawski, Katherine Murray, Matthew Przybysz, Justin Rakowicz, Daniel SantaLucia, Samantha Scoggin, Brett Slajus, Edward Surmont, Kathryn VanEgmond, Nathan Vengalil and Suzanne Vyletel.

Students from South who got four years of A’s or better were: Carolyn Alam, Erika, Bade, Matthew Barnes, Rebecca Brewster, Sara Ellis, Elizabeth Fry, Alexander Gosselin, Paige Hackenberger, Brian Hall, David Harris, Colleen Martin, Martin Moesta, Benja-min Moss, Henry Muller, Abby Reimer, Maja Sta-menkovska, Abigail Stapleton, Ellen Stewart, Nathan Troscinski and Frank Welsher.
