The 2003 Macomb County Directory Photo Selection Process

The photography contest, co-sponsored by Macomb County Clerk/Register of Deeds, Carmella Sabaugh and Community Central Bank. Jill Lezotte, a resident of Chestertield Township, was chosen as the Grand Prize winner and took this year's cover photograph of United States Veterans in Mount Clemens, winning a $100 U.S. Savings Bond.

Jill Lezotte said these Veterans were on their way to a funeral for one of their own and was quoted saying, "They Honor and will never forget their brothers." Jill submitted this photograph because of the patriotism she felt, "It's because of people like them that I have my freedom."

Photos were to spotlight Macomb County local heroes that are employed by a Fire Department, Police Department, and/or Military personnel. Macomb County Clerk/Register of Deeds Carmella Sabaugh, Branch Manager Kathy Trombley on behalf of CEO/President of Community Central Bank Ron Reed, and President of Robinson Photography Michael Robinson judged the contest.

The back of the directory features the five finalist's photographs. Each finalist won a $50 U.S. Savings Bond and includes: Virginia Geml (Macomb Township), Bill Eisner (Roseville), Bill Spengler (Fraser), Gayle Gregorczik (Mount Clemens), and Raylene Yarnell (Warren).

BRIEF HISTORY OF MACOMB COUNTY

Named in honor of General Alexander Macomb, a highly decorated veteran of the War of 1812, Macomb County was formally organized on January 15, 1818 as the third county in the Michigan territory. At that time, it covered a much larger area than it does today. In 1819 and 1820, large portions of the county were removed to form the counties of Oakland, Lapeer, Genesee and SI. Clair.

The first Europeans arrived in the area during the 17'h century. They included French fur trappers who recognized the richness of the marshes and sought new opportunities for trade. Moravian missionaries established the first organized, non-native settlement in the county in 1782 as a refuge for Christianized Indians driven out of Ohio. They built along the banks of the Clinton River, then known as the Huron River, but were forced to leave four years later by the Chippewa Indians. In the late 1790s, Christian Clemens visited the area, and in March 1800, purchased a distillery considered the first building on the site of the future Mount Clemens. The next year he purchased 500 acres for development. This site, known as High Banks, was platted as the Village of Mount Clemens in 1818, when it was proclaimed the Macomb County Seat.

In the early 1800s, and at least by 1840, settlers moved into the interior of the county, carving out farms from the hardwood forests. The roots of the county villages and townships were established by this time. In addition to the original French and English, later settlers included Germans, Belgians and others who came directly from Europe.

In the 1870s, mineral baths brought international fame to Mount Clemens. Many believed the waters had healing powers. Although the stream still runs beneath the city, interest in the spas died out in the early 20lh century.

Between 1920 and 1930, Macomb County doubled in popUlation, rising from 38,103 to 77,146 persons. Two significant developments spurred this growth - the establishment of Selfridge Field in 1917, and the beginning of the urbanization movement northward from the City of Detroit. During the 1940s and the 1950s the movement from the central city to the suburbs increased. The largest growth occurred between 1950 and 1970, when over 440,000 people were added to the County's population.

Today, Macomb County encompasses 482 square miles, and ranks third in population in the state, with a 2000 census total of 788,149 persons. The county is recognized as a leader in business and industry, and designated as a "Community of Economic Excellence" by the State of Michigan.

The court also has jurisdiction over appeals from district courts, appeals from certain administrative agencies and superintending control over the Macomb County district courts.

Beginning January 1, 1998, the Michigan Legislature created the Family Division of Circuit Court in all circuit courts. The Family Division of Circuit Court incorporates the family matters, which were formerly assigned to the Probate Court, largely juvenile proceedings. The Family Division presides over all domestic relations matters and strives to accomplish the "one judge - one family" goal of the legislature.

I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States ~f America and to the Republ.ic for which it stands, one nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

Pledge of Allegiance

The Star Spangled Banner National Anthem Oh, say can you see

by the dawn's early light What so proudly we hailed

at the twilight'S last gleaming? Whose broad stripes and bright stars,

through the perilous fight, O'er the ramparts we watched,

were so gallantly streaming? And the rockets red glare,

the bombs bursting in air; Gave pro~f through the night

that our flag was still there. Oh say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave O'er the land ~f the free

and the home ~f the brave?

-Francis Scan Key
