VILLAGE OF EVAN.
Evan is a small station point on the Redwood branch of the Northwestern railway system, in section 8, township 110, range 33. It was platted as Hanson Station in May, 1887, by Nels Hanson, and became an incorporated village in 1904. While it is a new village and not very large, it is growing and serves a well-to-do farming section as a handy trading place and market town for many things produced on the farms surrounding it. Peter Hanson, of Sleepy Eye, erected a grain warehouse here in 1885, and the same year the first store was opened by Mr. Norseth, of Stillwater, who was soon made postmaster. A creamery association was formed in 1895 and a large creamery plant installed.
Evan had a population of one hundred and twelve in 1910, but has made material growth since that date. It was incorporated as a village on March 22, 1904, with first offi-

The village supports a private electric lighting plant, known as the Evan Electric Light Company. It has a vol- unteer fire company consisting of thirty members. A gaso- line pumping system is used for securing water for fire uses. On April 1, 1916, it was stated the village only owed the sum of twenty-five dollars.
The postoffice was established in 1885 in Prairieville township. The amount of business transacted in this office during the last year was five hundred and fifty dollars. In 1908 the office was robbed and a small amount of money taken, the safe injured materially, but no conviction fol- lowed. The postmasters have been: N. A. Norsett, 1885- 87; George Knudson, 1887-91; Emil Rasmussen, 1891-1916.

SIGEL TOWNSHIP.
Sigel township was originally a part of Cottonwood township and was named after Gen. Franz Sigel, who won distinction during the Civil War as an officer in the Union army, and later as a statesman. The northern boundary has been changed numerous times on account of crossing the Big Cottonwood river; in 1861 the boundary was made to follow the course of the river as far as possible. Sigel, as now constituted, is bounded on the north by Milford township, on the east by Cottonwood, on the south by Lake Hanska and on the west by Stark township. It is some- what cut up by rough land and numerous little lakes. Among the larger of these lakes may be named Clear lake, in the northeastern part; School lake, in the center of the township; Lake Juni, in section 26. There are no villages or railroads in this township, but it is well cultivated as a rich agricultural section. Its population for the last three enumeration periods has been: In 1890 it was six hundred and eighty; in 1900 it was twenty-five less, and in 1910 it was six hundred and forty-five.
The first township meeting was held here on April 28, 1862; Ernst Brandt was selected moderator and William

Bruggert, clerk. Officers elected: Ernst Brandt, chair- man; Herman Plath and G. Guggesberg, supervisors; A. Loomis, assessor; H. Hillesheim, treasurer; Fred Frank and H. Manderfeld, justices of the peace, and J. Scheisser, constable.
Several citizens from this township lost their lives in the Sioux outbreak of 1862.
The first settler in this township, as now constituted, was Almond Loomis, who located in section 3, in 1856. In 1862 he, with his brother, Uriah, William Tuttle and seven others were killed by the Indians while trying to reach New Ulm. Several others settled in 1856, among the number C. C. Brandt, who, during the winter of 1856-57, erected a wind-power grist-mill; this was the first mill in Brown county. The buhrs were made from limestone out of the river bed and the timbers were sawed by hand from logs; later it was removed to New Ulm.
The township was created into one school district in 1864, known as No. 4.
Among other settlers who might justly be numbered among the pioneer band in this part of Brown county are these: John Berg, a German; Christian J. Engel, a Ger- man; Capt. Sylvester A. George, of Maine; Christian Krambeer, a German; John Lisenfeld, a native of Prus- sia; Almond Loomis, of New York, who was murdered by the Indians at New Ulm; Anthony Manderfeld, of Prussia, who served in the wars in his native land and was in the Union cause in this country and was at the New Ulm mas- sacre; Christian Niedegger, a German; Matthias Penning, a German; and Conrad Schweppe, a German.

STARK TOWNSHIP.
The second township from the south line of Brown county, and the third from the eastern line of the county is Stark, which is in congressional township 109, range 32 west. At its north is Home township, at the east is Sigel, at the south, Albin and at the west is Leavenworth town- ship. It is without a railroad or a town or village, save the mere hamlet of Ibera in its center. It has numerous lakes, including these: Bachelor lake, in the northeastern part of the territory; a smaller sheet of water to the southeast of this, and Rice lake, in the southwestern portion of the township. Others have been drained out with the town- ship's settlement and development. The soil here is fertile and wonderfully productive of crops common to this lati- tude.
The last three United States census periods show this township to have a population in 1890 of six hundred and twenty-three, the most that it ever has had; in 1900 it had fallen to six hundred and four, and by 1910 it had only five hundred and eighty.
Stark township was organized in the spring of 1868; the first township election was held with results as follow: John Moore, chairman; Russell Ives and Joseph Hilles- heim, supervisors; Samuel Auger, clerk; John Wiggins, assessor ; G. Bickelhaupt, treasurer; Eli Benham and Jacob Duncan, justices of the peace; A. Slocum and L. Birch, constables.
The first settlers were as follow: In 1858, Luther Whiton, George Richard, Edwin and John Charnock, Seth Henshaw and John Blum all located in the township. Hen-

shaw was killed by the Indians while trying to reach New Ulm in 1862 with Mrs. Harrington, Mrs. James Hill and two children. The women and children escaped. Mr. Blum and family, with the exception of one boy, were ruthlessly murdered by the savage foe en route to New Ulm. A num- ber more were killed and wounded from this township, but the names are not now at hand.
Other pioneers of this township, whose names should never be forgotten in making up the annals of this county were: C. W. Smith, Andrew J. Bangs, of Delaware; Sam- uel Bellig, of Switzerland; Frederick Benham, a Vermont- er; Henry Berg, a native of Prussia; John Callahan, an Irishman; Jacob Duncan, Jr., of Indiana; W. J. Dungan, of Adams county, Illinois; Andrew J. Gilman, of Vermont; John F. Grubby, a German; T. H. Humphrey, of Vermont; Luther C. Ives, of Michigan; George Kroy, a Bohemian; F. W. Kuehn, a German; William Miner, a Vermonter; William Otrwein, a German; Herman Plath, a German; August Schwerdtfeger, a German; Lorenzo Slocum, of New York; Charles W. Smith, of New York; John Van Kauf- enberg, of Luxemburg; H. Zander, of Prussia.
EARLY HAPPENINGS.
Among the first and always interesting events in this township may be recorded: The first birth was that of a son born to Mr. and Mrs. C. W. Smith, May 10, 1861. The first death was that of Daniel Tuttle, in the spring of 1858.
The earliest religious services in the township were held at the house of C. W. Smith, in the spring of 1860, by Rev. Jones, a United Brethren minister.
The pioneer school was taught in the summer of 1865.

IBERA POSTOFFICE.
Ibera postoffice was established in 1870, and had for its earlier postmasters F. F. Benham, Judson Bangs and William Kuehn. This office was about the center of the township, and at one time there was a steam saw-mill, sev- eral general stores, blacksmith's shops, cabinet shop, a shoe repair shop and a farm implement agency. There was later a water power grist-mill with three run of stones, built by Plath & Schwerdtfeger, about 1872. Henry S. Back built a steam saw-mill in the northern part of the township, which later was washed away by a big flood.
With the coming of railroads and the further develop- ment of the county, most of the former business interests of the little hamlet moved to other parts, leaving simply a small store.
STATELY TOWNSHIP.
In the extreme southwestern corner of Brown county is Stately township, and it was the last one to be organized in the county. In January, 1879, a petition was presented to the county commissioners for the formation of another township. It was approved of by the board and an elec- tion was held, but declared illegal on account of short no- tice. On April 7, 1879, a meeting was held and officers duly elected, as follow: D. H. Semans, chairman; C. H. Crawford and Conrad Balbach, supervisors; A. W. Hen- derson, clerk; M. L. Haggard, assessor; James Haggard, treasurer; R. A. Allen and D. M. Haggard, justices of the peace; A. B. Dickerson and F. M. Scott, constables.

Stately township had population as follows at various census-taking periods: In 1890 it had two hundred and eleven; in 1900 it had three hundred and ninety-five, and in 1910 it had five hundred and fourteen.
The first to effect settlement in the township was C. H. Crawford, a New York man, who came here from Wiscon- sin, after having served in the Union cause during the days of Civil War. He arrived here with others in 1873 and at once began his operations. Among the persons coming with Mr. Crawford were Joseph Chamberlain, John Wilson, John Tyson, W. H. Fox and Conrad Balbach.
The first school was taught in the summer of 1878 by Huldah Cornish, in what was later district No. 61.

CHAPTER IX.
MILITARY AFFAIRS.
The military history of Brown county presents a chap- ter of unusual interest to those who fought in the Civil War, the Indian Wars and the Spanish-American War, or who, if not participating in these struggles themselves, are interested because his or her kin-folk were connected with such wars and had to do with the military movements of this state from 1861 to the commencement of the pres- ent century. The county was new and had but scattering settlements at the commencement of the War for the Un- ion in the spring of 1861, but considering its population, but few, if indeed any, county in the commonwealth, sent forth more men to defend the flag, the home and the fire- side, both on the frontier and in the far-away Southland, than did Brown. The commands well represented from this county included the First, Second and Fourth infan- try regiments; also the Tenth and Eleventh infantry regi- ments; the First Mounted Rangers; Second cavalry and First battery of light artillery. The author has been re- quested to make one feature of this chapter a roster of the men who served from Brown county in the Civil War, so far as the facts are at hand at this late date. It will be remembered that that great conflict closed a little over fifty years ago this spring, and if there should be omis- sions found in this list of brave men who upheld "Old
