This is the story of Dorrance Williams, an early pioneer in Calhoun County who settled on the Goguac Prairie in Battle Creek in 1831.  He previously had been a land surveyor for the U.S. Government, and had visited the area in 1829.  He lived his life as a suspicious man who was afraid everyone he dealt with was trying to cheat him.  A frequent visitor to the courtroom, he was the plaintiff in may lawsuits with is neighbors.  

He died in 1846, and when his grave was moved in 1887 a grisly discovery was made when his coffin was opened.
