from History of Montcalm County, Michigan:

"In 1848 his son, William Fountain Wilson, died and
was buried beside his sister in Otisco township. This was
probably the first death in the township, as Sarah, the
youngest child of John Wolverton, whose death is usually
considered the first, did not die until some weeks after.
She was, however, the first interred in the township, the

cemetery being situated on the east line of her father's farm,
and directly south of the quarter-post. It has since become
a public burial-place, and was the first in the township.

About the year 1848, John Wolverton settled on the
southwest quarter of section 31, having at the same time
entered land adjoining in Eureka township, upon which he
built his barn. This section of Montcalm previous to this
time was known as Lincoln's Plains, but from this time to
the present has been called Wolverton Plains. His family
at this time consisted of a wife and six children, only one
of whom now remains in the township. Mr. Wolverton
died many years since, and his widow, now the wife of John
Smith, still lives at an advanced age."

"In 1850, John Wolverton and Joe Wilson, assisted by
other settlers in the vicinity, built a little board schoolhouse
on Mr. Wolverton's farm, and hired Miss Harriet
White, of Kent County, to teach. She died in her youth.
This was the first school taught in the township. The next
school-house was built on section 34, and resembled the
former in its construction."
