Brighton Historical Society:

"Ernest, the youngest son of Ansel and Marilla Crippen, was born on April 14, 1842 in the family home on Hacker Road, 1/8 mile north of Grand River. His parents had settled in that SW ¼ of Section 18 in Brighton Township a few years earlier. By the time he reached maturity he had served in the Civil War – 9th Michigan Volunteers, Co. I. Ernie married Helen Luce July 4, 1870. They farmed there until moving into Brighton in 1904. Earnest Crippen died in Brighton March 15, 1920. Helen died in 1912.

"How might the farm have acquired the name Springdale Farm? The barn was located at the top of a steep hill above Ore Creek. A small shallow pond (locally called Moss Lake) lay just north. One night, during an unusually heavy rainfall, an enormous gully was formed in the hill below the barn. The next day a large spring was discovered flowing from the gully. This spring, undoubtedly, was the source of Moss Lake. The lake's water level was greatly lowered and never resumed its former size. The spring ran strongly for years providing an abundant supply of water for the live stock and for cooling cans of milk in preparation for shipment to the dairy for bottling. The dam on Ore Creek, which formed Woodland Lake, has obliterated all evidence of the spring. At that time, Grand River continued north on Hacker Road making a sharp left turn at Bendix to skirt a large hill before continuing west toward Howell.

"More research is necessary to determine when the cut was made through the hill providing an easy curve instead of the original sharp turn. During the ‘30s, perhaps earlier, Crippen's barn became a clubhouse for a real estate venture. High school proms and other parties were held there. The barn is believed to have burned in the mid 1950s. The house still stands. Ore Creek now quietly flows under 1-96, under Grand River (south of Cross Street) and into Brighton's downtown where another dam forms the Mill Pond.

"When Ansel and Marilla (Paddock) Crippen came to Brighton Township from Penfield, New York in 1835, they brought with them two sons: Millard Fillmore (1832) and Henry L. (1835). Isaac (1837), Harrison (1839), Ernest (1842) and Emma (1844) later joined the growing family in the Crippen home on Hacker Road. (Take a look when you drive by.)"
