W. Stuart McCamley 1877 - 1961 Stuart McCamely was an important figure in the
development of Portage Township.  In the 1940's and 1950's he served as both
President of the School Board and Township Supervisor.  He was instrumental in
the consolidation of various school districts into a consolidated Portage
Township school district and he was a forceful advocate of education for
Portage.  During his tenure the pharmaceutical giant, the Upjohn Company (now
Pfizer), built its main plant in Portage remaking the Township from a small
rural community to a much larger suburb.  Stuart McCamely had a farm on Portage
Road that is still owned by family members.
