*From his Find A Grave Memorial*
Son of David Jr. and Phoebe (Sands) McCamly.
In June 1831, Sands McCamly came to Michigan and saw the place where two rivers 
meet. It wasn't until 1834 that he acquired the land he wanted. He built the 
canal and developed the Mill Pond which brought water and industry to Battle 
Creek, MI. Mr. McCamly suffered many hardships but never gave up his dream of 
building a great city. In 1836, he and some of the other early settlers, drew 
the first map of the Village of Battle Creek. Mr. McCamly was a business man 
and, for years, operated a General Store. He was also an attorney and the year 
that Michigan became a state, was elected State Senator. He instituted McCamly 
Park because he felt every town should have its "Twon square". Sand McCamly died 
at the age of 94.
