• 1902 (about) - North Beach Association, a summer colony immediately North of Campbell Park, is "pioneered" by Wendell Topping, a Chicago real estate man. The Topping cottage will burn down in 1941.

 
• 1903 - Scottville Clown Band begins with its members dressed as hillbillies. The present name and costume will be adopted in 1947.

 
• 1903 - George Alexander Campbell [1869-1943] of Chicago makes his first visit to Pentwater with Zachary Taylor Sweeney [1849-1926], Disciples minister of Columbus, Indiana. Newly elected as President of the American Christian Missionary Society, Rev. Sweeney is trying to establish a memorial for his late son, Joseph Irwin Sweeney, and is considering the purchase of the White Elephant. The two ministers meet with village leaders, walk around Pentwater Lake, and also visit the future site of Campbell Park, "a 33-acre tract of woods north of the pier...that Dr. [Edward Scribner] Ames had first discovered."

 
• 1903 (October) - Dr. James Harvey Garrison [1842-1937] of St. Louis makes his first visit to Pentwater, Michigan, "seeking a location for his future summer resort." In 1904 he and Mrs. Garrison will will rent a cottage in Oceana Beach. They will decide to "leave [Lake] Macatawa [at Holland, Michigan] to pioneer at a less congested beach."  In September 1904 Dr. Garrison and four other Disciples (W.J. Halleck of Kansas City, T.T. Crittenden, Jr., of Kansas City, J.L. Brandt of St. Louis, and C.A. Young of Chicago) will purchase 40 acres from Oceana Beach and establish Garrison Park between Lake Michigan and Pentwater Lake.  in additiona to being a Disciples minister, Dr. Garrison is editor the Christian-Evangelist and will publish a weekly column for several summers called "Pentwater Musings".  In his autobiography, George Alexander Campbell will credit the "pioneering" of Dr. Garrison for the existence of Campbell Park. (The name of the cottage built by the Garrisons in 1905 is "The Pioneer".)  Both inhabited largely by members of he Disciples of Christ, Campbell Park and Garrison Park residents will share many joint beach parties and church meetings in their early years. (Both "parks" continue today, but -- without the ferry or bridge over the channel -- they are separated by many miles of road, and their residents are now barely aware of each other's existence.)

 
• 1906 (about) - Dining hall is constructed by the North Beach Association (NBA). It will be used all summer by NBA residents until World War II. Campbell Park will never have a similar facility.

 
• 1907 (July 15) - Carrie Ellen Mears signs an option in Chicago giving Edward Scribner Ames the right to purchase a tract of land in Pentwater for $2,300. This date will be celebrated as the founding of Campbell Park -- named for Disciples founder Thomas CAMPBELL [1763-1854], his son Alexander CAMPBELL [1788-1866], or both (no relation to George Alexander Campbell).

 
• 1907 (July 18) - Campbell Park founders Ames, Bushnell, Campbell, Fawley, Roach, and Wakeley meet at the City Club in Chicago, consider the option signed July 15 for the purchase of land from Carrie E. Mears, and agree for the Secretary and Treasurer to ask eleven or twelve "subscribers" for an "initial payment" of $100 each.

 
• 1907? - It's lost to history when the Campbell Park founders first visited the undeveloped Campbell Park with their families. Did the the families vacation there in 1906 or 1907 or 1908? My mother [1901-1991] was only six years old in 1907. She remembered her family's staying one summer in a rented house near the channel in the Village of Pentwater. She also remembers their living in a tent one summer on their lot newly acquired in Campbell Park. In March 2007, I wrote a five-page essay about my mother's lifelong association with Pentwater and Campbell Park. Click here to see the essay (in Word format).

 
• 1907 (August 6) - Campbell Park founders Ames, Bushnell, Campbell, Fawley, Gates, Wakeley, and Willett meet at the City Club in Chicago, agree "that the name of the resort be Campbell Park, agree "that the two elevations [tallest dunes] be named Willett Heights [Tank Hill] and Ames Heights [Tower Hill]," name five streets, and draw lots for eleven building sites of two lakefront lots each. James Harvey Garrison assists in the drawing of lots. The first site (closest to the village of Pentwater) is drawn by Charles Clayton Morrison. The eleven sites are allocated as follows:

 

 

(11) Rev. Herbert Lockwood WILLETT [1864-1944],
(10) Mary Logan COLEMAN [1880-1939],
(9) Arno L. ROACH,

(2) Christopher COLEMAN,
(1) Rev. Charles Clayton MORRISON [1874-1966].
 

• 1907 (or later?) - "Under the pines, on the singing sands, by the cool waters." Brochure proclaims that "The Campbell Park has been purchased by a group of Disciples mostly from Chicago." The cover of the brochure depicts a Great Lakes steamship (implying easy access from Chicago). The plat pasted inside the back cover of the brochure shows avenues named for the following Disciples leaders:

• 1909 - Centennial of the Disciples of Christ is celebrated at a Centennial Convention in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania (nearest large city to Washington County, Pennsylvania, and Bethany, West Virginia). James Harvey Garrison is keynote speker.  The convention is preceeded by a vigorous debate over the issue of "higher criticism of the Bible" and whether or not its leading proponent, Herbert Lockwood Willett, should be allowed to speak. The Christian Century of Chicago strongly supports Willett, and the Christian Standard of Cincinnati strongly opposes him. In the end, Willett is allowed speak. A history and description of the Disciples of Christ published for the Centennial Convention is still in the Campbell Cottage at Pentwater.

Du Bois, Duke Ellington, Aretha Franklin, Joe Louis, and Stevie Wonder. "Black Eden, the Idlewild Community" will be published in 2002.

 
• 1912 (November 23) - A sudden storm forces all fish tugs to return to Pentwater.  The "Two Brothers", the only steam-powered tug, waits for the gas-powered tugs to reach safety. Then, as it tries to enter the channel, waves dash it against the pier drowning all three crew members, including the father and father-in-law of Campbell Park caretaker August (Augie) Christensen.  (This story will be related to Georgia May Campbell Lollis and Ted Lollis by former Campbell Park caretaker Max Corey in February 1963.)  Pentwater's fishing fleet totals fourteen tugs in 1914.  Click here for a partial list of fishing tugs owned or operated in Pentwater.

The summer camp at Purdue University is located here; also a United States coast guard station. Within a radius of two miles are Campbell park, Garrison park, Oceana beach, Pentwater beach, and Bass lake. The town has canning industries and is a fruit shipping port." There are two advertisements: (1) "Tebbet's Garage, PENTWATER, MICHIGAN" Night and Day Service. Fireproof Storage. Accessories : : Phone 433" and (2) "VERBECK TAVERN --- Pentwater's Best. Right on the Pike, PENTWATER, MICH. American plan, $2.50 and $3.00. Maryland fried chicken and planked fish (in season) our specialty. Phone your special orders ahead. Free Auto Storage.

The Eddy group attends the first Universal Christian Conference on Life and Work in Stockholm, Sweden, August 18-30. The conference is "designed to deal with the relationship between Christ and economics, industry, social and moral problems, international relations and education." The leader of the Life and Work movement is Nathan Söderblom [1866-1931], professor of the history of religions in Leipzig, Germany, and archbishop of Uppsala. He will receive the Nobel Prize for Peace in 1930. In the small group of Disciples attending the conference are Peter Ainslie [1867-1934] and his bride Mary Elizabeth Weisel.

• 1926 - Swinging bridge is built across the channel to replace "the old ferry scow" which had operated since 1858. The "new" bridge is a former railroad bridge moved from Elk Rapids and given to the village by the Pere Marquette Railway Company. In 1948, after 22 years of service, it will be declared unsafe and removed but NOT replaced. Apart from the cost of replacement, South Beach residents presumably prefer to drive via the Long Bridge over Pentwater Lake than be directly connected to the village.

 
• 1928 (May 4) - The White Elephant is destroyed by fire, leaving a ruin in the center of Pentwater. Corners of the gigantic building will be restored as an office building and a movie theater (which is now the "Hancock Building").

• 1932 - The Big Washout occurs near King's Canyon between Bass Lake and Ludington. Suddenly washed into Lake Michigan, South Lakeshore Drive will be rebuilt to curve around the washout. The curve is still there (just North of Chauvez Road), but the spectacular "canyon" created by the washout is now obscured by trees.

 
• 1932 or 1933 - Pere Marquette Rairoad ends service in Pentwater after motor vehicles become competitive. Passenger service actually ended in 1925. The same rail line will continue to serve Hart for many more years, but it will be abandoned in 1982 and converted into the Hart-Montague Bicycle Trail State Park. Pentwater will have frequent bus service for many years, but that too is now long gone.

 
• 1932 (October 15) - George Alexander Campbell [1869-1943] is elected President of the International Convention of the Disciples of Christ in Indianapolis, Indiana. At the same convention, Charles Clayton Morrison [1874-1966] is named one of four Disciples members of the Federal Council of Churches of Christ in America, and Edgar DeWitt Jones [1876-1956] -- a frequent visitor to Campbell Park -- is reelected president of the Association for the Promotion of Christian Unity.

"Nothing finer was heard in Pittsburgh," according to GAC.

 
• 1936 - The sea lamprey is first observed in Lake Michigan. This eel-like predator with rasp-like teeth will victimize lake trout, lake sturgeon, lake whitefish, and burbot. By the mid 1950's, the lamprey will all but eliminate the native population of lake trout and significantly reduce populations of other species. In later years, the lamprey will be brought under control by treating the steams in which it spawns.

 
• 1938 - Seiche is seen at Campbell Park by Rosabelle Campbell McCartney and her 3-year old daughter Jean McCartney: "Suddenly in the quiet lake she saw...a 'terrifying white horse of a wave'... Grabbing the child, she ran for all she was worth [and] barely got onto the beach steps over 100 feet away when the giant wave...splashed high against the steps where she stood trembling with little Jean."

Minch" about a mile from South Beach, runs the "Novadock" and "William C. Davok" aground near Little Point Sable, and runs the "City of Flint #32" aground just outside the breakwater at Ludington. For days "the Campbell Park beach is awash with lifeboats, life rafts, planks, oats, bedding, and bodies." The "Novadock" will be visible from Campbell Park for many years thereafter. An historical marker will be erected in Ludington in 1971 referring to the "Armistice Day Storm." Another will be be erected in Pentwater in 1986 referring to the "Veterans' Day Storm." (The searchable database of Great Lakes shipwreaks lists 12 "total loss" wreaks near Pentwater between 1854 and 1947.)

 
• 1941 (Spring) - Topping Cottage is hit by lighting and burns to the ground just north of Campbell Park. The nearby "Yellow Cottage" also burns. Pentwater firefighters save neighboring cottages. Luckily, none of Campbell Park's ten cottages has ever burned.

It belonged to the Ames family from 1936 until 1944 when it was puchased by the Neilson family of St. Louis.

 
• 1943 (August 17) - "He passed away this evening just as the sun set in a glorious glowing sky." - George Alexander CAMPBELL [1869-1943] dies at "Argyle," his cottage in Campbell Park.  An appreciation will be written by his friend Edward Scribner AMES and published in "The Scroll" of the Campbell Institute.

• 1944 (March 28) - Herbert Lockwood Willett [1864-1944] dies in Winter Park, Florida. He taught a class on Monday and was scheduled to lecture Tuesday evening on "Great Books of the Bible" but dies that morning. The Christian Century devotes its lead editorial to him in its issue dated April 12. A noted Biblical scholar, Willett was the first minister of the University Church in Chicago and founder and dean of the Disciples Divinity House at the University of Chicago, and its library is named for him. The Willett cottage is inherited by his son, Robert Lockwood Willett [1895-1973], business manager of the Christian Century.
