     Michael Leist was born in Clear Creek Township sixty-six years ago, and has resided within its bounds all his life.  The following are the names of the first settlers of the township, to the extent that he remembers them.
     John Leist (father of Michael) came in 1805.  He is well remembered.  He served many years as Justice of the Peace, and was thirteen times elected to the State Legislature.  The very first settlers of Clear Creek, as Mr. Leist remembers them, he named as follows - the time of their arrival varying from 1800 to 1810.  They settled in different parts of the township:
     Martin Smith, Mr. Binhimer, the Fosnaughts (the descendants of the Fosnaughts constitute a large voting force of the township to this day).  John Nicholas and Daniel Conrad came early.  Henry and Daniel Conrad, two descendants, are still living, at an advanced age.  George Conrad is still living at the age of 82 years.
