EARLY EVENTS - CEDAR CREEK TOWNSHIP
Somewhere about 1836, some flax caught
fire one night in a loft of the cabin of PETER SUPRISE. The family
had all retired, excepting Mrs. SUPRISE, who gave the alarm. The
flames spread rapidly, and the family were driven out into the
deep snow, very scantily clad MARTIN DRISCOLL, who was then stopping
with Mr. SUPRISE, escaped with only one pair pants. After the adults
had all gotten out, it was discovered that one of Mr. SURPRISE's
children had been left behind, when Mr. DRISCOLL heroically rushed
through the flames and succeeded in rescuing the imperiled infant.
