BERL

BERGMAN
SLAYER GETS LIFE TERM
Gordon (Buck Rolland, 20 years old, was
sentenced at Harrisville Monday to life in prison at hard labor and was taken
to Jackson Tuesday. His mother, living in northern Canada, has not yet learned
that her son had killed a man in a shooting that Rolland laid to a night of
drinking. Rolland, former Great Lakes seaman, was sentenced only four days
after the fatal shooting Thursday of Berl Bergman, manager of the Lookout Inn
near Alpena. Rolland reached Windsor before his arrest Saturday.
Rolland pleaded guilty and after having
conferred for 40 minutes with Circuit Judge Herman Dehnke, was sentenced at 2
p.m. Judge Dehnke made no comment on his conversation with Rolland but observed
to Rolland in Court, "No one could remember incidents as well as you do if
he were very intoxicated." The killing was the first serious trouble in
which Rolland had been involved, it was said. News of his fate probably will be
given to his mother by Rolland's sister who lives in Detroit.
HOLD-UP
FATAL TO LOCAL MAN
BERL
BERGMAN KILLED, WM GILLILAND WOUNDED IN SHOOTING
Berl Bergman, 55, well-known former
Beaverton man, was killed last Thursday, and William Gilliland, Gladwin road
contractor, was seriously wounded in the abdomen, when they were sot in their
beds by Gordon (Buck) Rowland, 21 year-old employee at Lookout Inn, a resort
owned by Gilliland and Bergman near Alpena. Both men were staying at the resort
and were shot before they had an opportunity to defend themselves by the
youthful Rolland who gave robbery as his motive for the shooting when he was
picked up in Windsor, Ontario, by State Police and Canadian officials.
Funeral services for Mr. Bergman were held
at the Dale. M. E. church near Beavertn Sunday afternoon and were attended by
hundreds of his friends from this vicinity.
CONDITIONS
IS SERIOUS
Although Mr. Gillihand's condition was
described as serious by physicians at the Alpena Hospital today, it is thought
that he will recover. Rolland was captured by police in Windsor Saturday and
Captain Don Leonard; of the Detroit State Police Post, said that he confessed
that a "druken impulse" brought on the murder. "I don't known
what got into me," the officer quoted Rowland as saying, "I had been
drinking all night and I suddenly had an impulse to get some money anyway I
could."
Rowland who fled to Bay City, Detroit adn
finally to Windsor, where he was arrested by Capt. Leonard and Windsor and
Michigan state police officers, told police he had gone deer hunting in the
upper peninsula after he was paid off at the end of the shipping season. There,
he said, he met Gillihand.
GOOD
FRIENDS
"We got to be pretty good friends and
he told me he owned an inn, some cabins and a gas station near Alpena. He said
he would give me a job it nothing else showed up, so about two weeks ago I went
to the inn and he put me to work."
At the inn, he said, he met Bergman, manager of the inn, and learned
that Gillihand was a wealthy contractor who had built many roads in northern
Michigan. They gave him living quarters with them at the inn. "The night
before the shooting," he told Capt. Leonard, "I borrowed Bergman's
coupe and drove to Alpena. I had some drinks at a bar and met a stranger. We
had some more drinks and met a couple of girls. I took my girl home, then returned
to the inn, where I sat at the bar alone and drank 12 bottles of beer."
WANTED
MONEY
It was at the conclusion of this solitary
beer drinking that he received the "impulse." "I made up my mind
I would get some money and go back to Alpena. I wanted to marry the girl. I
knew Bergman and Gillihand would have money and I had seen a gun in Bergman's
dresser." Bergman was asleep when he entered the room Bergmand occupied,
he told police. " I said 'Hello', Then shot him," Capt. Leonard quoted
young Rowland as saying. Leonard said Rowland added:
I'm Sorry, Bill" "Then I went into
Gilliland's room. He was awake and sat up in bed. I said 'I'm sory I have to do
this, Bill. "I fired once and he fell back." Then, the officer said,
Rowland went through the pockets of both men and left. When he was arrested he
had more than $100 with him.
Leonard said Rowland had made a
"clean" confession. "The only thing we're not satisfied about is
his story that he wanted to marry the girl" he said. "We believe he
was involved with the girl, but we believe the robbery, and robbery alone, was
the motive. Rowland, he said. expressed a desire to "get this whole mess
over." Leonare said Rowland had promised he would plead guilty when
arraigned.

Note: It is not known when Bob Cochran came
to Michigan, and why he chose Billings, MI (the corner of M-30 and Brushaber
Roads) to settle. He and Jap Mann built the log cabin that he and his future
wife, Ella Skinner, would live in. Bob cleared much of the land himself. Both
of his daughters were born in the house. Later, they built a modern home near
the old log house.
Bob's brother, Nat, came to stay with them
in the log house in about 1907, which would have made Nat about 21 years old.
Nat stayed with them until he married in 1909. {In Memory of George Bradford

issuing a reckless driving ticket to Kent Wray, he was profanely abused by Leon
Wray and when the summons was completed Cowell placed Leon under arrest as a
drunk and disorderly person and started to walk him to the county jail a block
away. Kent was reported to have intervened forceably and a scuffle ensued and
Officer Cowell wrestled Kent to the ground.
The tustle ended, Wray agreed to go
peacefully to jail and the men had regained their feet when Cowell suddenly
collasped, Ridley reported. Ridley immediately placed Leon and VanHorn under
arrest and turned his attention to the stricken officer. Cowell was taken to

Coulter at about 3:20 a.m. An autospy, ordered by Prosecutor Cyrus Y. AtLee,

according to Chief of Police Al Erdman.
The trio was confined in the Gladwin County
jail and the Clare County jail at Harrison until Monday when they were
arraigned in Justice Walter Hopson's court and fined and jailed. Beer was found
in their car, officers said. Leon Wray pleaded guilty to charges of a minor in
possession of intoxicating beverages and being disorderly. Norman VanHorn was
likewise charged with possession of intoxicating beverages and also pleaded
guilty to the count. They were fined $25 and $4.90 costs and jailed for 10 days
by Justice Hopson.
Kent Wray pleaded guilty on a charge of
furnishing intoxicating beverages to minors and was given a jail term of 10
days and fined $25 and $4.90 costs. He pleaded not guilty to a charge of
reckless driving and asked for a jury trial. He was also charged with resisting
arrest and demanded examination. Bond of $700 was set on the two charges and
when it was not furnished. Wray was taken to the Clare County jail to await
examination and trial. Gladwin County Record dated 08-15/1962 Column - 2 Page -

ENOS
CROWELL (21 APRIL 1838 - 21 SEP 1916)
CROWELL---Enos Crowell was born near North
Clayton, Miami county, Ohio, April 21, 1838, and departed this life at his home
near Beaverton, Mich., Sept. 21, 1916, aged 78 years and 5 months. He was the
son of Samuel and Elizabeth Crowell, and was the third child in a family of
thirteen. Of this family circle only one, the youngest son, survives.
He was married to Hannah Mohler of Bradford,
Ohio, Feb. 5, 1862, and to this union was born three children: Reuben Andrew,
who died Sept. 9 1911, Armina Margaret and Ida Elizabeth. There were also 14
grandchildren and 9 great grandchildren. Soon after his marriage he united with
the church of the Brethren, and ever after he gave to it the fullest measure of
his devotion. When Bro. Crowell and wife moved to Michigan in 1868, they were
the only members of the Brethren church in Woodland township. At that time the
county was a wilderness, but they attended services whenever possible at
Campbell, Ionia county, making the trip of nine miles with an ox team. The
Woodland church was organized in Bro. Crowell's home and this church called him
to the office of deacon. In this capacity he was permitted to serve long and
faithfully, and no service was ever too great for him to perform.
In 1898 Bro. and Sister Crowell moved to
Beaverton and a second time they entered on a pioneer experience, both in
building up a home and in helping to establish a church at this place. He was
an ardent Sunday school worker, and was the first supertendent at the old log
schoolhouse. He helped to bring about the regular preaching appointments and
the first love feast was held at his home. He was always ready to plan for the
betterment of the church, and whenever possible he rendered his assistance,
both financially and by his own personal efforts.
One of his most prominent characteristics
was his faithfulness to duty. Through storm and heat he made his way to the
house of God for worship and no slight circumstances could intervene to
influence him to remain away. He was much interested in missions, and in the
work of the state district, and his last public pledge was given for the
Detroit mission. May his spirit of constancy and devotion long remain with us
as a congregation. --- Contributed. Gladwin County Record dated 09-28/1916

HANNAH
(MOHLER) CROWELL (25 DEC 1843 - 21 FEB 1929)
MRS.
ENOS CROWELL
On Christmas Day, in 1843, a child was born
to John and Nacy Mohler, whom they named Hannah. On a farm near Bradford, in
Dark county, Ohio, in a family of six, she grew up thru childhood and girlhood.
When 19 years old, she married Enos Crowell; the ceremony being performed on
Feb. 5, 1862, by Elder Isaac Miller. Three children were born to them; Reuben,
Mina and Ida. In 1868 a new home was begun at Woodland, Michigan. During the
following 30 years the children grew up and married; all moving to Gladwin
county. The mother and father followed them in 1898, and located near
Beaverton, where they both lived during the remainder of their lives. Reuben,
the only son, died in 1911, and the father five years later on Sept. 21, 1916.
She united with the church of the Brethren
when 18 years old, being baptized by Elder Joseph Ressor, of the Harris Creek
church, Ohio. Her religious faith was dominant through-out her life, expressing
itself in much study and thought, and loving service. The church was always one
of her chief interests. Both the Woodland and Beaverton churches were organized
in her home, she being the last charter member of the Woodland country church.
Though she read widely in books of many kinds, the Bible was her book of books.
Her mind was keen and strong to the end. A long, useful life was ended on Feb.
21, 1929, when she died. She had lived 85 years, 1 month and 26 days.
Grandma Crowel will be remembered in the
church, the community, and her family group; for her kindliness of spirit, her
untiring industry, her optimism and the simple beauty of her straight-forward
life. As one of the pioneers of this county, she is known by many as a real
friend and neighbor, when living was a hard struggle. Many who never knew her
personally, know a bit of her through the flowers that grew around her, that
she loved all her life and spent most of her time with during the last years of
her life.
She leaves a large family circle: Mrs.
Reuben Crowel and family, Mr. and Mrs. Archie VanDyke and family; Mr. and Mrs.
L. E. Geiser and family. She had 14 grandchildren, and 23 great-grandchildren,
and many other relatives.
She touched the earth
And from it came
Flowers of gold
And white and flame.
Blossoms of faith
And hope born new.
She touched God's hand
In dim amase,
And bore his fruit
Thru many days.
Now in his love,
So high so deep,
She dreams new flowers
In her sleep!

away before him. He joined the 45th O.V.I. at Ridgeway, Ohio. He went to
Ontario in 1862, and was gone three years. He joined the Missionary Baptists
when a young man, some few years before he was married. He was a faithful
follower in the belief. He preached to his comrades whenever it was convenient
for him. His daily life was a Christian lesson and gave example to all who knew
him. He was a faithful attendant to our Sunday-school and was teacher of the
Bible class ever since the Sunday school started, and that is two years ago. He
will be sadly missed. He was liked by everyone--always had a smile and a
pleasant, cheerful word for everyone. He belonged to the G.A.R. post in West
Mansfield, Ohio. He was in Company I. Old Soldiers served as pallbearers. His
remains were laid to rest in Tobacco cemetery on Sunday, Nov. 26, 1899, and a
large number of friends followed his remains to their last resting place. A
great many floral pieces were given by friends. He preached the gospel 36
years. Was an ordained minister a part of that time. He moved from Mt. Victory,
Ohio, in 1829, to Edenville, Midland county, Mich., where he resided, then
moving to Hope township, and afterwards moved to Tobacco township, Gladwin
county, living there five years. His last days with us were full of fun and
mirth. He ate a hearty supper and retired early, and his sons on returning from
church notied heavy breathing. On going to him they tried to rouse him, but he
never showed signs of knowing them, and soon was gone. The doctor said it was
apopolexy. Source: Gladwin County Record dated 12-01/1899 Column - 2 Page - 8

Correction---In the obituary of Garnett
Crumpacker, published in the Record a few weeks ago, the type made it read that
"he went to Ontario in 1862, and was gone three years," which is an
error. He enlisted in 1862, joined the 45th O.V.I. at Ridgeway, Ohio, and
served in the civil war to its close. Source: Gladwin County Record dated

MRS.

Particularly sad to the people of Dale is
the death of Lillian, only child of Mr. and Mrs. Albert Sorge, and wife of
Floyd Fairchild. Her childhood was lived mostly in this community where she had
endeared herself to all.
Hard to give up our loved ones to the grim
reaper in any case, it is peculiarly so when that one is sweet and fair and in
the springtime of life. Lillian graduated from Beaverton high school with the
class of "twenty" and became a bride in June. It seemed that she had
much to live for. She was a member of Dale M.E. church where she will be
greatly missed. She was also a "Gleaner" and the members of Dale
Arbor deplore their loss. The funeral was largely attended and the deepest
sympathy was expressed by all for the grief stricken parents and husband.

"This is my Saviour, I have waited for Him." It can well be said she
was a true wife who loved her home and family, always mindful of good counsel

once. Any good therefore that I can do, or any kindness that I can show to any
