**I need some help putting together this township page. If you can supply a list of schools, churches and a history of the township, please let me know. I also need some pictures of this town, both past and present. If you have any news clips concerning the township in general, please enter the information on the "records" board and let me know, and then I'll link it to the appropriate page.
