Bailey Nature Preserve Public Dedication
Over 20 years ago, David and Eleanor Bailey envisioned a beautiful place where local people would be able to experience nature. Join us on June 7,
In 1844, Township 1 north, in range 7 west, was named Assyria on its organization in the state of Michigan. It is found in the southeastern corner of Barry County, having Maple Grove township on the north, Calhoun County on the south, Eaton County on the east, and Johnstown township on the west. When first settled the township consisted mainly of oak-openings, with tracts of hard-wood timber in the eastern part.
Old settlers say it was a most attractive-looking country, particularly in early summer, when wild-flowers covered the earth in profusion, and the numerous glades offered a charming perspective in every direction. Assyria is reckoned an excellent agricultural township, particularly in the production of wheat, of which the yield is said to average 20 bushels per acre. In the west and southwest the surface is rough, and there is some waste land, but generally the surface is level and the soil rich. Assyria is a rural township.
Greetings from your new Assyria Township Clerk, Cheryl Thornton
First, I want to thank all who supported me by casting your vote for me.
I want to formally introduce myself to you. I was born and raised in Michigan. I am a graduate of Bellevue High School. I attended the University of New Mexico with both a teaching degree as well as educational leadership. I taught seven through twelfth grade mathematics for eighteen years followed by four years as a school administrator. I returned to Michigan in 2016 and now live very happily in Assyria Township.
I look forward to getting to know you, the citizens of Assyria Township. Feel free to stop in when you see my car parked in the drive. Currently I am attending educational opportunities to be better prepared to serve you, many of which are here at the township office. I plan to have a set schedule of office hours soon in the near future.
