Toast No. 3: "The Gopher State," was re- sponded to by H. R. Wells, Esq., who paid a fit- ting tribute to Minnesota-past and future-and related a few amusing incidents relative to early legislation, the origin of "Gopher State," &c. Mr. Wells divided his time and subject with "Bro." Billings, who related his first experience in Minne- sota nearly a quarter of a century ago, much to the amusement of all concerned.

Toast No. 4 .- "The Pioneer Wives and Mothers of Minnesota"-was responded to by Hon. Thos. H. Armstrong, of Albert Lea, who honored his subject with a breadth of thought and a burst of eloquence that won repeated applause, and which evir ced a heart capable of appreciating and a

mind as ready to express. The toast was a good one, and the response cqual to the subject.

Toast No. 5 .- "The Financial and Material Interests of Southern Minnesota,"-was responded by J. C. Easton, Esq., whose review of the past and forecast of the future was a pleasant disap- pointment to those of his friends who sought to have a little sport at his expense by surprising him with this toast; but the surprise fell to those who imagined Mr. E. (who is a man of deeds and not words, ) would decline to "meet the issue," for he did meet it, at considerable length, with credit both to himself and the subject.

Toast No. 6 .- "The Old Settler" -- was given by Col .. Thompson, who related. some laughable early-day experiences.

Toast No. 7-"Southern Minnesota"-was ably responded to by A. L. Ward, Esq., of Fairmont, who contrasted the past with the present, and parted the curtains of the future. It is to be hoped that Mr. Ward's remarks will not be for- gotten until some of his hints have made an effect- ive impression. His reference to the fact that the southern tier of counties-the agricultural cream of Minnesota-has not a single public institution belonging to the State, was pointing to a state of affairs that the southern tier of counties can take no credit for.

Toast No. 8,-"Our First Twenty Years as a State" - was responded to briefly and good humoredly by J. D. Farmer, Esq.

Col. Colburn, Hon. E. Thompson, and others were called upon for remarks and made befitting responses.

Perceiving the near approach of the "wee sma' hours," the dining hall was vacated, all retired to the office of the hotel, where each entered his name in a record provided for that purpose. The following is the list of membership:

As a part of the history of this first gathering of old settlers, we append the following letters from gentlemen whose presence was expected, but who found themselves unable to attend:

BLUE EARTH CITY, Nov. 19th, 1878. O. G. WALL, Esq., Lanesboro:

Dear Sir-I have your favor of the 14th, and re- gret exceedingly that it will be impossible for me to be present on the 21st, on the occasion of the "Old Settlers" meeting at your city.

I had promised myself much pleasure at that time, but this is my first day out of the house for ten days, and I am not yet sufficiently convales- cent to warrant the proposed trip. I hope, indeed 1 know, you will have an interesting meeting, and I shall be with you in spirit though absent in the flesh-(and a great deal of it, too.)

Very truly yours, J. B. WAKEFIELD ..

CALEDONIA, Nov. 21st, 1878. O. G. WALL, EsQ .:

Dear Sir: Being absent from home I did not receive your favor of the 16th until to-day. I re- gret that circumstances have prevented me from be- ing present at the Old Settlers' meeting. Without donbt it will be a pleasant gathering, and I regard it as an honor to be invited to respond to so broad a toast on this notable occasion.

Truly yours, D. L. BUELL.

ST. PAUL, Nov. 11th, 1878. OSCAR G. WALL, EsQ., Lanesboro:

Dear Sir: Your favor of the 9th instant reached me to-day. It would give me great pleasure to meet the Old Settlers as you suggest, on the 21st inst., but unfortunately my health is not suffi- ciently re-established to justify me in journeying in cold weather.

I shall be with you nevertheless, in spirit, as I have a warm spot in my heart for the Old Settlers of the State, who, with me, have " borne the bur- den and heat of the day." God bless them.

Yours very sincerely. H. H. SIBLEY.

MRS. W. W. FIFE .- This lady's demise was on the 22d of May, 1878, She was the daughter of Simeon Foote. Her name was Ann Eliza, and her birth was in Crawford county, Ohio, on the 14th of September, 1837. She was married in 1859, having with her parents, in 1855, moved from Mount Carroll, Illinois, to Chatfield. After her marriage she lived in Preston up to the time of her death. She left a husband and five children, and was a consistent member of the Presbyterian church.

CAPTAIN J. H. Mc.KENNY .-- Captain McKenny, who was one of the most enterprising men among the early settlers, and those who were identified with the growth and prosperity of the county, finished his earthly career in May, 1878, at Chatfield, hav- ing arrived at the age of 65 years. He was born in Chambersburg, Pennsylvania, on the 24th of October, 1813. He learned the printing business in the office of the "Staunton Spectator," and afterwards worked in Cincinnati and in Kentucky. In November, 1834, in St. Louis, he was married to Miss Mary E. Duval, who died in July, 1836. About this time he went to Iowa, and in connection with James Clark, who was afterwards Governor of the State, got out the first number of the "Iowa Gazette." In 1837, he was married to Miss Mary A. Sleeth. In October, 1842, he was elected Sheriff of Des Moines county, Iowa. He was in the Mexican war as a Quartermaster and Commissary, and soon after the war was detailed with his company to remove the Winnebagoes to their new homes in the northern part of Minnesota. In 1849, he came to Minnesota to accept an ap- pointment by H. M. Rice in the American Fur Company at Crow Wing. In 1849, was appoint- ed Sutler at Fort Gaines, now Fort Ripley, which

position he resigned in 1851, and returned to Iowa where he again secured an interest in the "Gazette." He was, however, soon appointed receiver of the land office for southern Minnesota which was located in Brownsville, in the spring of 1854. In June, 1856, the land office was removed to Chat- field and his home was thus transferred. In 1861, the Captain and his brother bought the "Chat- field Democrat." He run for Auditor in 1872, on the State Democratic ticket, which was defeated. In 1864, was a candidate for State Senator: He was elected Justice of the Peace and held that po- sition for some time. He was a Mason well up in the degrees and had held office in the grand bodies of that order. He was a large hearted man, devoted to his friends and the village of his adoption.

A. J. YOUNG. - Mr. Young came from Pennsyl- vania in 1855, and pre-empted the place now owned by John Real. He died very suddenly the last of July, 1878, very much regretted.

OLE G. LAUGAN passed away on the 26th of October, 1878. He was a brother of Mrs. John Albertson, and had resided in the county for sev enteen years, and was well and favorably known. He was at the head of the drug firm of Laugan & Krogstad, at Lanesboro, and left a widow and three children.

MRS. SARAH BARTON .- This estimable lady had lived in the vicinity of Rushford for sixteen years before her earthly pilgrimage was finally finished, which was on the 20th of November, 1878, at the ripe age of 76 years. She was the mother of Mrs. A. Adams and seven other children, to whom she was devotedly attached.

FLOURING MILLS .- The flouring mills of the county as they exist at the time of the compila- tion of this work, in the spring of 1882, will receive appropriate mention in the several town- ships where they belong; but a list of the mills as they stood in 1878, will be here presented. Some of them have changed hands, and many have been transformed into roller mills and otherwise im- proved. These mills are driven by water, with perhaps a single exception.

to Wisconsin in 1839, and to Chatfield in 1856. For nearly fifty years he was a minister of the gospel, being connected with the protestant Meth- odist denomination. He left a wife, two sons, and one daughter.

FIRE .- On the 9th of January, the alarm of fire was sounded in the village of Spring Valley, and carried with it dire destruction. The following business houses were burned :

C. Evan's grocery and restaurant, loss on build- ing and goods $2,500.

Chas. Hermes' shoe store; loss on building and goods $400.

John Masterbrook's billiard hall; loss $700 H. S. Porter's harness shop; loss $200.

How the fire originateed is not known.

KILLED .--- On the 29th of August, M. T. Jones, editor of the "Spring Valley Vidette," was thrown from the buggy while on the way from Wykoff to Spring Valley, and killed almost instantly.

In December & band of. Winnebago Indians were in Lanesboro; they got up an exhibition un- der the patronage of Dr. Powell and realized al- most $50.

BURNED TO DEATH .-- An old lady, Baakle Blerk- holtz, was burned to death in February, in a small house in which she lived, in Sumner. She was 82 years of age. The house was also consumed.

J. B. FRAZER, a well known citizen of Preston died on the 9th of April. He came to Preston in 1856, and pre-empted a place at what was after- wards called Frazer's point. He soon removed to the village, and went into the hotel business with S. B. Murrell. He afterwards built the house now, owned by Mrs. Ross, and kept a grocery and pro- vision store, and finally engaged in general trade. He was an honest and trustworthy man, kind- hearted, accommodating and agreeable. He be- longed to the Mystic brotherhood, and was buried with Masonic honors. He was a native of San- dusky, Ohio.

SILVER WEDDING-The twenty-fifth anniver- sary of the marriage of Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Cusick was celebrated in Pilot Mound, at their residence, on the 18th of June, 1879. Hon. E. D. Hammer, by virtue of the authority vested in him by the commonwealth of Minnesota, re-mar- ried them for twenty-five years more, with the understanding that when the next twenty-five years shall have passed, unless one or both shall have passed through the golden gate, that then

their golden wedding shall occur. Mr. and Mrs. H. F. Yates stood up with the couple as the nuptial knot was re-tied. Mr. Hammer, with appropriate remarks, handed over the presents which were well chosen. Mr. and Mrs. James Camp, of Spring Grove, brought an offering in the form of a silver cake basket.

SAFE ROBBERY. - The safe belonging to Holmes, Desmond & Co., of Rushford, was blown open in August, and robbed of $55.

FIRE. - The great Wagon Factory at Rushford was completely destroyed by fire on the 7th of September. The loss was $30,000, with an insur- ance of but $8,000.

FLOOD .- Rush Creek, on the 10th of Septem- ber, swelled up beyond its capacity, and dams and bridges were numbered among the things that were.

BIRD'S EYE VIEW -- - In the fall of this year S. H. Dexter got out a bird's eye view of Rushford, which gave a good idea of the village at that time.

THE YEAR 1880.

SILVER WEDDING .---- On the 18th of January, 1880, the twenty-fifth anniversary of the marriage of Mr. and Mrs. O. Iverson was celebrated at their residence in Lanesboro. Among the pres- ents, which were most appropriate, was a solid silver tea set. The old settlers were largely rep- resented, and the congratulations were hearty, and the hopes expressed as to future reunions were earnest, although there was a shade of sad- ness as to the certain decimation of their numbers when another quarter of & century shall have rolled around.

THOMAS RAYMOND .- The subject of this sketch was born in Albany county, New York, in the year 1798, and his earthly sojourn was completed on the 4th of March, 1880, so that he attained the age of four score and two years. While still in New York State he married Mahala Cole. They had a family of six children. In 1837, they moved to Greenfield, Erie county, Pennsylvania, and in 1840 his wife died. In 1845, he married Matilda French, and they had one son and two daughters. In 1866, he came to Rushford. Of him it may truly be said, his friends were co-equal with his acquaintances.

BEE-KEEPER'S ASSOCIATION .- On the 12th of March, 1880, a Bee-Keeper's Association for the county was organized at Preston. Among the

officers and members were L. M. Trexler, M. V. Facey, E. T. Nelson, and John Carnegie. C. B. Kleckler, of Spring Valley, had samples of prize hives, section boxes, chaft boxes, etc. Sev- eral parties were appointed on various subjects in the bee-keeping interest. This industry is a very fascinating one for those who make a study of these industrious little insects, and it is also re- munerative when the skill, care, and patience required is displayed.

The Southern Minnesota railroad went into the hands of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Com- pany on the 1st of May, and thus became a part of a great through line.

EXCURSION .- On the 9th of February, 1880, there was an inter-county excursion from Caledo- nia to Preston, of about forty of the leading ladies and gentlemen of that village. The party arrived in the evening in good condition, and partook of supper at the Tibbetts House, and then repaired to the Masonic Hall, where the hours were chased with flying feet to soul stirring music, and a rous- ing good time was had. Indeed, so well pleased were the visitors with Preston hospitality that res- olutions expressive of thanks were passed, and an invitation extended to return the visit at an early day.

RETURN VISIT .- On the 29th of June, 1880, the return of the Caledonia visit was made; about one hundred of the fair sons and daughters of Preston made up the company. At the proper time Con- ductor Foote shouted "All aboard!" Engineer Velsey pulled out the throttle, and the train started. On the line the train stopped several times to make accessions to the joyful throng. As near as can be learned the party was made up of the following gentlemen, accompanied by their ladies:

N. P. Colburn, M. F. Thieme, O. Oleson, W. W. Fife, C. Peterson, C. H. Jacobson, M. T. Grattan, J. O. Brien, A. Gilbraith, W. Carpenter, P. Brady, W. Nelson, Thomas Hall, W. M. Bowdish, H. R. Wells, S. Shuck, A. D. Gray, Joseph Ober, Jr., G. W. Hard, M. G. Fellows, Charles Webb, William Kruppenbecher, T. H. Smith, E. Lent, T. John- son, H. E. Lyon, R. A. Gutsch, T. G. Moore, A. D. Godfrega, C. Wilford, R. Wells and Miss Day- ton, J. B. Tibbetts, wife and daughter, Joseph and Mrs. Horton, C. Man and daughter, Thomas Dougherty and sister, Mike Hopp and sister, Hor- ace Wheeler, wife and daughter, Fred. Reed, Mrs.

A. H. Butler, Adam Frey, Robert A. Joseph, and perhaps others. They were received in Caledonia with a salute of artillery, and accorded a right royal welcome. A pavilion had been erected for an open air banquet, and every precaution had been taken to make the occasion one of unalloyed pleasure for their guests, but no provision had been made for good weather, all hands having in this regard simply taken their chances, and so as they sat down to dinner it began to rain, and al- though there was a dance in the evening, many did not stay, but those who did were well repaid.

HAIL-STORM .-- On the 5th of May, the most severe hail-storm ever encountered, passed over the eastern part of the town of Preble, leaving an un- usual scene of devastation in its track. The dam- age to the poor farmers was most depressing. Windows were broken in almost every house, cat- tle stricken down by the icy pellets, which were reported to be in some specimens two inches in diameter.

J. L. JAHR .- Mr. Jahr was an ever popular man, who had resided in this county for twenty-eight years previous to his death. He had represented his district in the Legislature of the State, but on the 28th of May, 1880, at the age of forty-eight years, his life in this world was brought to a close. He resided in Norway township.

OLD SETTLERS' REUNION .- The Old Settlers' Association, composed of the old settlers of the southern tier of counties in Minnesota, held a re- union and jollification at Spring Valley, Fillmore county, in October of 1880. The programme was as follows: Business meeting at the Commercial Hotel at 3 o'clock P. M .; reports, election of offi- cers, and admission of members. At Allard's Opera House-Oration by the President, M. S. Wilkinson. and other speeches. Banquet at the Commercial Hotel at 9 o'clock P. M. Speeches- Address of welcome, Hon. J. D. Farmer; response, Senator Wilkinson. Our Country, Hon. E. Rice. Minnesota, Dr. Leonard. Southern Minnesota, Col. C. W. Thompson. The Old Settlers, Col. J. R. Jones. Prospects of Southern Minnesota, J. C. Easton. Early trip to Southern Minnesota, Judge D. Smith. The Press, Senator Powers. The Ladies, N. P. Colburn. The host and hostess, A. L. Ward. Music.

The following officers were elected for the en- suing year: M. S. Wilkinson, President; B. F. Farmer, Secretary; O. F. Rexford, Treasurer.

The board then proceeded to appoint the follow- ing committees:

Finance Committee-B. F. Farmer, Chairman; Milo White, and Vic Le Fevre.

Committee on Poetry and Oration-J. D. Farmer, Chairman; H. R. Wells and W. F. Dun- bar.

Committee on Obituaries-H. W. Holley, Chair- man; C. W. Thompson, and T. H. Armstrong.

The following are the names of the oldest set- tlers present: M. S. Wilkinson, B .. F. Farmer, J. N. Graling, Senator Powers, John Bateman, D. C. Hendershott, Major Foster, John Kleckler, J. C. Halbkat, W. T. Wilkins, R. M. Foster, Vic Le Fevre, Milo White, G. J. Batty, N. B. Smith, Wm, McNee, D. Smith, T. M. Chapman, J. B. Viall, and J. D. Farmer.

The Spring Valley Vidette, in closing its ac- count of the re-union, says: "And thus has passed into history another re-union of the "Old Settlers" of the southern tier of counties in Minnesota. It was a joyful occasion, and each old settler repaired to his home, speaking praiseful words of Bishop Smith, of the Commercial Hotel, and Spring Val- ley in general."

CHINA WEDDING .- On the 24th of November, 1880, Spring Valley citizens participated in an event which will never be forgotten by the parties honored, and will long linger in the minds of all as & most pleasurable occasion. The occasion was the bedecking of J. D. Farmer and lady with the sunflowers of remembrance and esteem, on the cel- ebration of the twentieth anniversary of their wed- ding day. A beautiful china service, vases, and majolica pitcher were placed on their bridal altar, as a token of esteem, by the guests. The Spring Valley Vidette, in speaking of the affair, pro- nounces it the most pleasant occurrence of the sea- son at spring Valley, and says,

"When twenty years Shall come and go, Oh! may it still be Jim and Joe.""

OPAL, OR THREE SCORE WEDDING .- A rare oc- currence was that of a surprise party, at the resi- dence of Mr. and Mrs. William Boles, in Foun- tain, on the 15th of November, 1880, on the occa- sion of the recurrence of the sixtieth anniversary of their wedding, by eighteen of their descend-

ants. Ten years before they had celebrated their golden wedding. It always seems that the fre- quency of wedding anniversaries to be celebrated should be transposed as regards the usual custom, and instead of being yearly at first, and then be- coming less and less frequent until they are finally twenty-five years apart, they should gradually come nearer together, as the prospect of their ter- mination altogether in this world gets nearer and nearer. And so without waiting for the diamond wedding, which may never come, this worthy couple were thus remembered.

Mr. Boles was born in New Bedford, Massachu- setts, on the 28th of February, 1798, and his wife, Sally Sears, was also born in the same State in 1801. They were married in New York on the 15th of November, 1820, and were the oldest peo- ple in the county at that time.

THE YEAR 1881.

MRS. HARRIET E. BUTLER passed away on the 31st of October, 1881, at the age of 62 years. Harriet E. Bean was born on the 7th of July, 1819, in Ohio. On the 12th of May, 1842, was married in Pennsylvania to Mr. A. H. Butler, who came with his wife to Preston about the year 1863. He was at one time County Treasurer, and died seven or eight years before his wife. She was a kind and companionable woman, who was much re- spected.

A. J. STEVENS was born in Needham, Massachu- setts, on the 13th of June, 1833. At the age of twenty-one he came to Wisconsin, and was con- nected with the lumber business in La Crosse county. In 1867, came to Rushford, and in 1870, began the manufacture of wagons. He was at one time for four years Treasurer of the county, and then returned and organized the Rushford Wagon and Carriage Company, which did a very large business. In September, 1880, the works were burned, entailing a heavy loss. He then went to Winona, and the business men there co- operated with him in building up a wagon com- pany.

Mr. Stevens was an enterprising man, who could not be well spared from any community. A man of religious convictions, with a special faith in the value of the Sunday school. He left this sphere of action on the 27th day of April, 1881, at Winona.

DIED .- At Indianapolis, Indiana, on the 7th of May, 1881, Geo. C. Harding, formerly editor of the "Lanesboro Journal." At the time of his

death he was fifty-one years of age. He com- menced his editorial career on the "Prairie Beacon," of Paris, Illinois, and was in succession special correspondent of the "Cincinnati Commer- cial," editor of the "True Delta," New Orleans; editor of the "Telegraph," Houston, Texas, where he was at the commencement of the war. He was editor of the "Coles County, Illinois, Ledger," and either editor or proprietor of the "Evening Jour- nal," "Mirror," "Herald," and the "Review," of Indianapolis. He purchased the "Lanesboro Journal" in March, 1880, and went there in the hope of finding rest. But his active brain re- quired more scope, and after a few months sojourn in Lanesboro, be returned to Indianapolis, and in- vested in a new publication," the "Saturday Re- view," which, under his guidance, was rapidly at- taining a front rank with the oldest publications in the State, when he was called to pay the debt of mortality.

A TERRIBLE FALL .-- On the 17th of Septem- ber, as Mrs. Edward Lynch, her son Edward, and Mrs. Rotchford, who reside about two miles north- west of Lanesboro, were coming down the road leading around the side of the bluff, one of the horses-a young colt-became frightened at some object in the road, and commenced backing. Edward, perceiving the danger of being cast over the side of the road, jumped from the buggy and endeavored to get the team by the bridles, but be- fore accomplishing his object the horses sprang to one side, and together with the vehicle and two ladies, went rolling pell-mell down the steep de- clivity.
