THEMABeschreibung
TEXTA Mr. Schweitzer started a grist mill along the line some eight miles west of Marquette in a favorable location adjacent to the Little Carp River (later renamed Morgan Creek. Mr. Cornelisu Donkersley, active in the "Marquette and Ontonogan Railroad, felt this was a good site for a charcoal furnace. The Ely family of Rochester, New York, wealthy flour milling people, had taken an interest in the Marquette Range in the early 1850's. They encouraged Donkersley and financed the development. The good friend and legal counsel for the family was Lewis Henry Morgan. From the beginning, Morgan had advised them, and he also invested in the development. Starting in 1856, Donkersley had cleared the land and built houses for his workers. The Morgan Iron Company was incorporated July 1, 1863, and had an initial capitalization of 50,000, made up of 2,000 shares at 25 each. The Ely family joined Morgan in this venture.
