CHILD'S HISTORY OF WASECA COUNTY.


Edward Schmitt is one of the early settlers of Otisco and settled on sections 17 and 20 about the year 1857. His worthy wife died many years ago and his only child is the wife of Mr. Rudolph Jacoby. Mr. and Mrs. Rudolph Jacoby, their sons, and Mr. Schmitt, live on the old homestead adjoining the village plat of Otisco.


Dr. Fred W. Prail, dentist, is a native of Waseca county. He is mar- ried, has no children, and is the second oldest dentist in Waseca. He is the only son of Sam Proechel, the well known blacksmith of Wilton, for a number of years, and later of Waseca.


Mr. O. S. Bagne, on section 12, town of Iosco, settled in this county in 1856, as a boy. He is prominently connected with the Palmer creamery.


Carl, Frank and J. F. Bauman, residents of Otisco, settled in this county in 1871-2. They are of German birth.


C. J. Bluhm, proprietor of the Waseca Marble Works, settled in this county in 1859.


The Bowe brothers, John, T. R., E. J., and J. D., settled in Blooming Grove in 1866-7.


Nels O. Breck and Ole O. Breck, located in Blooming Grove in 1864, and are prosperous farmers.


C. J. Brush, of Blooming Grove, located there in 1868, with his parents who were German born.


The Collins brothers, Thomas, Frank and Robert, settled in Woodville with their parents in 1868.


Charles Clement, of Waseca, settled in Waseca county in 1866. He is a farmer and has reared a large family of girls.


J. T. Crow settled in the town of Janesville in 1864, and Nathaniel settled there in 1867.


The Dardis brothers, Michael, Andrew and Thomas, located in Bloom- ing Grove in 1857.


The Davidson brothers, of Freedom, John D., and William, came to this county in 1864.


John Diedrich, of Blooming Grove, came to this county as early as 1870. Carl Dobberstein, a very extensive Byron farmer, located there in 1874. The Albert Domy family settled in Woodville as early as 1858.


The Hagen brothers, of Blooming Grove, Ole T. and Sivert, located in the county in 1865.


George Irvine, now manager of the Farmers Elevator at Waseca, lo- cated in Woodville in 1886. Mrs. Irvine, his wife, came to the county with her parents in 1862.


Julius Sell settled in St. Mary at an early day and married Miss Julia Krassin. He was thrown from a sleigh while driving home in the winter of 1886-7 and killed. His wife died a short time after, leaving three daugh- ters, Emma, Edith and Lizzie. Emma married Henry Kuk, Edith married John Kuk and Lizzie married Herman Hillman. The three families now reside near Redwood Falls, Minn.

CHILD'S HISTORY OF WASECA COUNTY.


Mr. Ed Hayden, an old resident of Alton, is one of the prominent farmers of the county. He was an active member of the Farmers Alliance, and a strong advocate of the Peoples party movement. He has a farm of 160 acres on section 13.


Hon. Hial D. Baldwin was one of the early settlers of the county. He located at Empire (Iosco) about the year 1858, and opened a law office. He was elected chairman of the board of supervisors of Iosco in 1859 and was ex-officio a member of the county board. In the fall of 1859 he was elected county attorney, and was re-elected for two terms more, serving until Jan. 1, 1864. He was defeated for judge of probate in 1864 by seven votes, and as a candidate for representative in 1866 he was defeated by Hon. Wm. Brisbane by five votes. He located in Wilton with his fam- ily in 1860 and remained there until 1868 when he settled in Waseca. When East Janesville was platted in 1869 he built the first hotel there. He soon after sold it to "Uncle" Frank Johnson and removed to Redwood Falls where he now resides. His life has been a checkered one financially, ranging from extreme poverty to affluence. His liberality and generosity have been proverbial. His love of speculation has been his besetting error. As elsewhere related he was one of the first to open a bank in Waseca and one of the first to fail in business: At Redwood Falls he has been successful. He served a term as judge of the district court and has ac- cumulated quite a property. He and his family are successfully engaged in the banking business at that place.


Hon. S. M. Owen, editor of the Farm, Stock and Home, though not a resident of Waseca county, is so well and so honorably known by his writings to our people, that his name is worthy of mention in this con- nection. Though not an office seeker or an office holder, his influence for good government in this state is wide spread. His honesty, sincerity and wide range of information on all subjects make him and his journal great factors in the educational uplifting of the people. His labors in behalf of agricultural residents of Minnesota entitle him to high standing in the affections of all our people.


George Tallon is one of the substantial men of Waseca. He is a native of Ireland, and in early life became a seafaring man. In that capacity he visited very many portions of the world. Early in the history of this state he located in Winona where he engaged in wheat buying. He located with his family in Waseca more than a quarter of a century ago and has been employed as a grain buyer ever since he located here. For over twenty years he was prominent as one of the school directors of this city. Mr. and Mrs. Tallon are intelligent and highly respected resi- dents of Waseca, and prominent and influential members of the Catholic church.


Mrs. Eliza Sutlief, widow of the late Asa G. Sutlief, departed this Ilfe at 11 o'clock Sunday forenoon, Sept. 10, 1905, at the age of seventy-nine

years. In February, 1904, she fell and broke her hip bone. She remained almost helpless from this accident till death came to her relief.


As this volume, already much larger than the author at first anticipated, draws to a close, the writer cannot resist the desire to mention the merits of Hon. Frank A. Day, of Martin county, who recently brought honor to Minnesota by ably representing its governor at the launching of the war ship Minnesota, at Newport News, April 8, 1905. On that oc- casion he made a splendid address of which the following are short ex- cerpts. He opened by saying:


"The first object which meets the eye of the visitor in the doorway of Minnesota's state historical library is the steering-wheel of the old United States frigate Minnesota, launched on the Potomac just fifty years ago. That was three years before Minnesota was admitted into the Union as a state. The territorial delegate, Henry M. Rice, who had persuaded congress to give the name Minnesota to one of the six new frigates then being constructed, carried water all the way from the Minnesota river with which to give the new vessel a proper baptism."


Continuing he further said: "The engines and boilers and small screw propeller, considered somewhat of an innovation in those days, constituted one-fourth of the vessel's entire cost. Not content to rely upon steam for power, the vessel spread 2,400 feet of sail, and by the combined aid of steam and sail was able to attain a speed of twelve knots an hour. On the day of its launching it was pronounced by the leading Washington newspapers as a very leviathan upon the waters; its displacement was just one-fifth that of the vessel we have launched today. Its armament was the heaviest of any battleship of any nation up to that time; its guns showed a tonnage just one-sixth that of the batteries which the new Minnesota is to carry. ₹ * *


"The old Minnesota had a history which the new Minnesota may well emulate. Its first commander was the famous Dupont, commander of the East India squadron. It bore the first tidings of American civilization to China and Japan, and was known as the greatest war vessel that had yet visited the Eastern world. When the Civil war broke out in 1861, the Minnesota became the flagship of the Atlantic squadron under com- mand of Flag Officer Stringham. On May 13 it was anchored down your harbor here at Fortress Monroe. On May 14 it participated in the capture of three schooners. Inside of ninety days it took part in the capture of ten vessels, one of which, the Savannah, bearing a commission from Jeff Davis, was the first war vessel captured from the Confederate forces.


"On August 26, 1861, from your harbor here out through Hampton Roads the old flagship Minnesota led the Atlantic squadron, bearing the troops and artillery of Gen. Ben Butler, south of Hatteras and Clark. In that two days' bombardment the Minnesota stood on the inside firing line at the head of the squadron, and its heavy main battery, consisting of two 10-inch guns and fourteen 8-inch guns, was the prime factor in compelling


808

those forts to raise the flag of surrender-the first Confederate forts to surrender to Union arms. * * *


"But the greatest engagement in which the old frigate Minnesota took part-indeed, the greatest naval battle of the Civil war, if not the most epochal naval engagement in the world's history-yon yourselves wit- nessed here in your own harbor on May 8 and 9, 1862. On the 8th you saw the famous ironclad Virginia, formerly known as the Union frigate Merrimac, emerge from Norfolk, across the bay, and, steaming directly into the fire of the Union batteries, attack the Cumberland and Congress off your shore; and you saw the Minnesota hasten to the rescue of the doomed vessels.


"You know, also, why it was that on the morning of the 9th the fate of the Minnesota was not that of the Cumberland. You saw the ancient 'cheese box on a raft,' the little historic Monitor, product of that patriotic genius, Capt. John Ericsson, steam to the rescue of the Union flagship Minnesota and go out to meet the ponderous Virginia, five times her size, and you witnessed the greatest naval duel of ancient or modern times- that which sealed the fate of the Confederate cause on the sea and changed the naval armaments of the world.


"The new battleship Minnesota which yon launched into Hampton Roads to-day could easily meet and vanquish single handed the combined Union and Confederate squadrons of 1862. What more significant tes- timony to the industrial, commercial, maritime and political transforma-


* tion of America in the brief period of forty years! * *


"From the battleship Minnesota of 1855 to the battleship Minnesota of 1905 is a far cry. It marks an era in the history of the state, nation and world. In shipbuilding, it marks the transition from the age of wood to the age of steel. In Minnesota, the half-century records the growth from a frontier territory of 20,000 souls to a great commonwealth of 2,000,000 people."


Hon. Frank A. Day was born in Wisconsin, 1855; settled at Fairmont, Minn., in 1874, and entered upon newspaper business; was elected to the house of representatives, in 1878; to the senate in 1886, 1890, 1894; dele- gate to republican national convention in 1892; was a bimetallist and supported W. J. Bryan in 1896; is married and has four children, and is at this writing private secretary to Governor John A. Johnson, and chairman of the state demccratic central committee.


THE CLOSE.


It is said that all things must have an end and certain it is that all history writing must come to a stop somewhere, and hence the close of this last life-work of the author. In going over the printed pages, as I have been compelled to do, many matters of some interest are found to have been omitted for want of space. Soon after the work of type- setting commenced it became evident that I had prepared more "copy"


809

than could be crowded into six hundred pages, and the work of copy pruning and condensation commenced; and, like the poor woman whom the Angel of Death called upon to designate which one of her twelve should be taken, it was difficult to choose which items should go into oblivion. Suffice it to say that no effort has been spared to make the work as complete and perfect as possible with the means at command. Some people, it has been learned, fail to appreciate the value of a correct history of their county, and therefore neglected to furnish facts peculiarly within their own knowledge. It is not for me to say how well or how imperfectly the work of writing the history has been done. The book must speak for itself. A sincere effort on my part has been made to make it a truthful and impartial history. In looking back over the history of this grand county one can but feel pride and satisfaction at the great progress made and the high standing it has attained. The first settlers found an inland wilderness, without habitation, without navigable waters or railroads, and surrounded by savages. What a change! Many, very many, of the old and honored pioneers have passed away, and it is not egotistical to say that there may remain no record save this history that they ever lived and labored here to help make this county what it is. Let it be remembered that it was in our day-the fifty years covered by this record- that the greatest battles were fought for ure preservation of self-government and the perpetuity of civil and religious liberty, and it will be for those who follow us to perpetuate the great heritage of the revolutionary fathers. The revelations of the last fifty years are as miraculous as any recorded in biblical history. Electricity, now the greatest force known to man, has wrought wonders in the last fifty years, and is destined in the near future to revolutionize the industrial and commercial activities of the world. To the unknown people who shall come after us and who, in their great advancement in the methods of government, the sciences, the arts, inventions, discoveries, in the mastery of the powers of nature, in virtuous and happy living, may look back upon us, perhaps, as a rude, ignorant, semi-barbarous peo- ple, we bid a genial, kindly welcome to our "happy hunting grounds" --- to a county that for fifty years has never suffered a total loss of crops.


"And now, dear friends, farewell for many a day; If e'er we meet again, I cannot say. Together have we traveled o'er long years, And mingled sometimes smiles, sometimes tears;


Now drcops my weary hand and swells my heart,


I fear, good friends, we may forever part; O'erlook my many faults, and say of me,


'He hath meant well that writ this history'."
