THE SCHWERDT SITE (20 AE 127) CERAMICS: A BERRIEN PHASE CERAMIC ASSEMBLAGE IN ALLEGAN COUNTY, MICHIGAN by Paul W. McAllister A Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of The Graduate College in partial fulfillm ent of the Degree of Master of Arts Department of Anthropology Western Michigan University Kalamazoo, Michigan August 1980 Reproduced with permission of the copyright owner. Further reproduction prohibited without permission. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS There are many people who assisted me, both directly and indirectly, throughout this endeavor, and I thank them a ll. Special thanks must go to my major advisor, Dr. William M. Crernin, who provided constant stimulation and encouragement through­ out my stay at Western Michigan University. I gratefully thank Nedenia Kennedy and Dr. Elizabeth Garland for serving on my thesis committee. Their c ritic a l advice on the ceramic descriptions is especially appreciated. A big "thank you" must go to the participants in the 1977 and 1979 Western Michigan University archaeological fie ld schools. Without these dedicated students, under the direction of Dr. Crernin, this thesis would never have been possible. I would also like to thank Michael Higgins for providing the fauna! data; John Meszaros for supplying the lith ic data; George Spero for allowing me to examine the Allegan Dam site ceramics; and R. David Hoxie for taking the photographs. There are many others who also deserve recognition. My typists deserve a note of thanks and sympathy. Thanks to Margo Schuring who deciphered my handwriting and typed the rough draft and thanks to Connie Hicks for the final organization and draft. And finally, I thank rny wife, Susie, for putting up with me while I was working on this project. Hello Angeline. Paul W. McAllister i i Reproduced with permission of the copyright owner.

While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or “target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is “Missing Page(s)”. If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure you of complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark it is an indication that the film inspector noticed either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, or duplicate copy. Unless we meant to delete copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed, you will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photo­ graphed the photographer has followed a definite method in “sectioning” the material. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand comer of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again—beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. For any illustrations that cannot be reproduced satisfactorily by xerography, photographic prints can be purchased at additional cost and tipped into your xerographic copy. Requests can be made to our Dissertations Customer Services Department. 5. Some pages in any document may have indistinct print. In all cases we have filmed the best available copy.

    Memphis Police Department Homicide Reports 1917-1936 Processed by Cameron Sandlin, Lily Flores, and Max Farley 2017 Memphis and Shelby County Room Memphis Public Library and Information Center 3030 Poplar Ave Memphis, TN 38111 Memphis Police Department Homicide Reports 1917-1936 2 Memphis Police Department Homicide Reports 1917-1936 Memphis Police Department Historical Sketch The history of police activity in Memphis began in 1827 with the election of John J. Balch. Holding the title of town constable, the “one-man Police Department” also worked as a tinker and patrolled on foot an area of less than a half square mile in the young town of Memphis.1 As the river town expanded and developed a rough reputation throughout the 1830’s, the department remained small, first experiencing growth in 1840 when the force expanded to include the Night Guard, a night-shift force of watchmen. In 1848, the town of Memphis became the city of Memphis. During that same year, the elected office of City Marshal replaced the position of town constable, and the duties of the office expanded to include “duties related to sanitation, zoning, street maintenance,” in addition to policing the newly-minted city.2 In 1850, the total police force numbered 26 men, split between the Day Squad and the Night Squad, and by 1860, a police force with a structure that could be characterized as modern was in place in Memphis, with the position of Chief of Police clearly stated in city ordinances as the leader of the police force. Following the Civil War, the Memphis Police Department (MPD) expanded to manage the rapidly growing Bluff City.
