At the present time agriculture 1 is practically the only occu- pation carried on in the township. There are several fine schools, and the township is noted for the teachers and professional men who have received their boyhood education within its borders. The town lias a Methodist church and a neat town hall, well suited for public gatherings. On Trout brook, in the northeast- ern part of the town large mills were once creeled for the purposes of a tannery and sugar mill and were owned by J. E. Porter, but are now demolished. There was once a post office, Burley, in this township.
