The first settlers in Ottawa County were
William Still, George Darling and a
Frenchman by the name of LaPere. They
built a cabin in 1855 near the mouth of
Coal Creek, then Myers, and cultivated a
garden. but the blood thirsty Sioux Indians
induced them to leave by fall. Of the first
three settlers in the county, LaPere was
probably killed by the Sioux Indians, as
they were camped on the Saline River and
LaPere went to make a friendly call on
them from which he never returned.
