Oakland county is peculiarly fortunate in the variety of her charms and riches, to which truth these pages bear witness. With her landscape beauties and sunny lakes, she is drawing thousands to her who seek restful homes and profitable investments. At the same time, her soil is fertile and invites the practical farmer, dairyman and horticulturist, while in the urban centers, the industrial and commercial interests have obtained a firm foothold and assure livelihood and profit to the citizen. No county in the state has better schools, and, as will be made plain in the progress of this history, in no section has woman had a more extended or elevating influence. In a word, Oakland is unexcelled as a home county; no more need be said to the good American, whether of native or foreign blood.
This eye-catching football volume includes a discussion of the types of exercises trainers use to build overall strength and to build the strength and skills for certain positions. Author Jennifer Guess McKerley explains the laws of motion that determine how the ball moves when passed, punted, kicked, or caught, as well as how velocity, momentum, and mass determine the outcome of a tackle. The author also talks about equipment and how it protects players, and what types of injuries occur when it doesn't. The nutritional needs of football players and how their bodies respond to training are discussed, as well as the psychological aspects of winning and losing.
Long before it was the site of shopping centers, corporate headquarters, and universities, Troy was a humble pioneer settlement comprised of farms and small knots of buildings at simple crossroads known as Troy Corners, Big Beaver, and Halsey Corners. School bells, church socials, and harvesting seasons punctuated the simple country lives of early Troy residents. The establishment of the Detroit United Railway in 1898 brought new opportunities to Troy settlers, rattling up Livernois daily and transporting passengers, milk, and freight between Flint and Detroit. By the end of World War II, Troy was rapidly changing. Subdivisions replaced farms, the township was incorporated as the City of Troy, and gracious homes and new businesses quickly replaced the clusters of clapboard structures. This book utilizes the remarkable resources of the Troy Historical Society and the Troy Museum & Historic Village to document and celebrate Troy’s development over the course of two centuries.
Michael Hechelman (ca.1732-1808) immigrated from Germany to Philadelphia in 1749, and probably worked in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania for 3 years to pay off the bondage for the trip. He married Elisabeth Sailers in 1751, and settled in Bucks County, Pennsylvania; the sur- name was then spelled Hackleman. The family moved in 1768 to Rowan (now Catawba) County, North Carolina, and then to Tryon (now Lincoln) County, North Carolina. Still later they moved to Abbeville District, South Carolina. Descendants and relatives lived in Pennsylvania, North Carolina, South Carolina, Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee, Kentucky, Indiana, Missouri, Oklahoma, Texas, Oregon and elsewhere.
