In the month of June. 1855. Ole O. Houset settled on section 23. Halvor Ennerson Vraalstad on section 27, and Thorbjorn Enmerson Vraalstad on section 35. In the same year Ole O. Naeset and Erik Anderson settled on section 9, Nels Mikkelson Dalsbotten on section 10. and Mikkel Johnson on section 15. Some of these pioneers erected cabins and roofed them over, others erected walls but did not take time to finish the roofs, some lived in their covered immigrant wagons, others had even less shelter, the main object being to raise a crop during the summer months, leaving the question of permanent and com- fortable abode until the autumn time. when the harvest would be garnered in and there would be more time for home building. The supply of provisions which the settlers had brought with them was soon gone, and from time to time one of the colony was delegated to go to Red Wing or Hastings to procure the necessities of life. This journey of over thirty miles was long and tedious, and even dangerous. especially in winter. and even after trading points were reached the prices were so high as to be almost prohibitive. During the summer of 1855 many new claims were staked ont. A few were occupied in the fall. but

187

the majority of these claimants did not locate until the follow- ing spring. Among these settlers of 1855 are said to have been Nelson Sollefson, Thomas Anderson, Camite Thomas, John Thompson, Anfin Anderson, G. K. Worsing and Ole Oleson. The first settlers of the township were Norwegians, and their sturdy character has since remained the predominating influence in the township. In the early days a number of German families settled in the western part of the township, and many of their descend- ants still remain there.

According to the authorities now available, the first white child born in the township was to Mr. and Mrs. T. E. Vraalstad, in September. 1855. The first marriage was that of K. K. Finseth and Bergitte Halvorson, the ceremony being performed by the Rev. H. A. Stub. at the residence of the bride's father in Rice county, September 13, 1856. The first death was that of Erik A. Elton, who died in the fall of 1855 and was buried near the north line of section 3. An old history gives some entirely different facts in regard to the first birth, marriage and death, but upon what authority is not known. According to this old history. Mr. and Mrs. Lars Nelson were blessed with twins shortly after their arrival in the township. these twins being the first births in the township. The first marriage, declares the same authority, was that of Kettle Erickson and Margaretta Flom, performed by Esquire Bowles, of Cannon Falls, and the first death that of a child of Ole Oleson. Another authority says that the first child was born to Thorbjorn Ennerson.

In 1856 a state road was surveyed through the southeast part of the township. and the following year Norway postoffice was established. with Ole O. Ilauset as postmaster. Mr. Hauset served until his death in 1862. Some time afterward. the office was removed a short distance, across the line into Wanamingo township. About the same time Holden postoffice was estab- lished in the north part of the township, with T. E. Thompson as postmaster. Eidsvold postoffice was established in 1875, on the daily mail route between Red Wing and Faribanlt, and Hans Christianson Westermo was named postmaster. In 1867 Law- rence Stagner opened a store in the western part of the town.

The first two winters the township was settled were very severe and much hardship was endured. The winter of 1857 was especially long. and sleighs were in use in the latter part of April. The crops that year, however, were good, and since that time the people of Holden have enjoyed almost uninter- rupted prosperity.

In the early days the township was attached to several other townships for political purposes, and in 1858, after the township was organized, the citizens who met at the first election were

practically strangers, the people in the different localities having had their previous intercourse with towns to the north, east, sonth and west and not with each other. Therefore each group of electors wanted to vote for men in their own locality, with whom they were acquainted. After the first two or three elee- tions friendly relations were established and the machinery of the town government has since moved harmoniously. The first officers were: Supervisors. K. K. Finseth (chairman). H. C. Klemer, Charles Nichols; town clerk, L. K. Aakers; assessor. C. Nichols; collector, Charles Fogelsang : justices of the peace, W. ('. Crandall. Ole Oleson; eonstables, Peter N. Langemo and H. E. Vraalstad.

During the following four years the chairmen were K. K. Finseth, L. K. Aakers, Ira Babcock and L. Stagner, and the clerks were Incins Oakes, A. II. Bjoraker. Peter Nelson and Peter Lengmoe.

During the Civil War the aggregate amount of $14.000 was raised to give as a bounty to volunteers, and consequently no drafting was needed to fill the required quota. Those who en- listed from Holden were: Byron Anfinson, Lieutenant Lars K. Aakers. Henry Aspen, John Ericson, Henry Ericson, Elling Eng- berson, Joseph Fogleson, Arthur A. Flom. Andrew Hanson. Ole Halverson, Halver Halverson, Ole O. IFuss, George Johnson, John K. Lysing. Aslack Oleson, Ole Oleson. Ole Osker. Butler Oleson, Edward Oleson. Edward Oleson, Olans Oleson.

HAY CREEK TOWNSHIP,

Hay Creek receives its name from the stream which tonehes the west central portion of the township and along whose banks in the early days the settlers found large quantities of wild hay. The surface of the township is somewhat uneven, but is rich in agricultural possibilities. A deep valley crosses the town- ship from east to west in the northern part, and another, with various branches. crosses the township in the center, east and west. These make a hilly and rolling surface for the whole town, the hills being from two to four hundred feet above the valleys. Yet, owing to the abundant overspread of fine clay and loam, practically all of the surface is tillable. Many of the hillsides are covered with growing timber. and the valleys were originally heavily wooded. In the southeastern part is Wells' creek. Bullard creek drains the northern part. Hay Creek comprises township 112. range 14, and is bounded on the north by Red Wing and Wacoota, on the east by Florenee, on the south by Belvidere and on the west by Featherstone. It was organized with its present boundaries in 1858.

The first settlement was made in the spring of 1854 by a Mr. Egar, in the northeast part of the town. Among the early settlers were George Steel: Ernest Schubert, Henry Inzancee, William Hayman, Garry Post, David Bartrom, Simon Peterson, Benville Mosier, Rudolph Kruger. Charles Darling, Jacob Turner, M. Eggleston, G. F. and William Meyer, John Haek and James B. Wakefield. George Frederick, an early settler of Belle Creek, also lived here a short time in the early days. The early settlers were subjected to constant annoyance, the whole township, with the exception of a small portion in the northwest, being within the limits of the half-breed tract. Meetings were held and the settlers organized for mutual protection. Charles Ahlers, who in 1856 built a hotel near where Burkhard's hotel was later located, was one of the many who suffered the annoyance of a previous claimant. He had his first log cabin nearly completed

190

when another man appeared to dispute his claim to the land. This man's claim was based on the fact that he had been there and inscribed his name on a tree previous to Mr. Ahler's advent. The former claimant was backed by a mob of men armed with clubs, axes and other weapons. So there was no alternative but for Mr. Ahlers to pay the amount of money demanded for a relinquishment of the claim, which he did, and later opened his house to the public. There are always two sides to every question, and while Mr. Ahlers was given a great deal of sym- pathy, it would look in modern times as though he had intended to take another man's claim. He was but one of many who suffered much inconvenience and trouble until the half-breed matter had been settled in Washington, after which the actual settlers were left in peace.

The first town meeting was held in 1858, with only six citizens present. They were William Hayman, Henry Lorentzen, S. A. Wise, J. B. Wakefield, Rudolph Kruger and David Bartrom. This meeting was held in a log cabin schoolhouse, near Wells' creek. The explanation given for the poor attendance is one that looks strange in these days. It seems that a eamp meeting was in progress in a grove near by and the people were so inter- ested in matters pertaining to the future life that they had no time to devote to such temporal affairs as a town election. Whether the six who attended loved religion the less or politics the more than the others tradition does not relate.

A log schoolhouse was built near the spot where the Wells' creek mills were afterward erected. in 1857, and a school was taught there by a young man named Graves. The first marriage was that of Ernest Schubert and a Miss Reinchart, the cere- mony being performed by William Hayman, justice of the peace. In the earliest days the German Lutherans and the Methodists held meetings and both later erected comfortable places for church worship. Near the center of the township there is a substantial town hall. In 1863 R. H. Matthews built a mill on Wells' creek, and in 1865 John Hack and G. F. Meyer built one on Hay creek. Later a third mill was built on IIay creek, but was afterward abandoned.

The chairmen of supervisors of the town from 1858 to 1869 were : Samuel A. Wise, William Hayman. John Benson, Dunning Dewey (six terms). Rudolph Kruger (two terms), George Hack- man. The town clerks during the same period were: Henry Lorentzen (two terms), John Hack (six terms), Peter J. Erbar (five terms).

Hay Creek's contribution to the Civil War consisted of Joseph W. Britton, Fred Baumbeck. Henry Burgtorf, Reynolds Barton, August Buchholz, Henry W. Cady. W. F. Dewey. C. J.

LEON TOWNSHIP.

Leon constitutes government township 11, range 17, and is bounded on the north by Cannon Falls, on the east by. Belle Creek, on the south by Wanamingo and on the west by Warsaw. It is drained by branches of the Little Cannon in the northwest- ern portion. these streams causing the land to be somewhat broken in that locality. In the valleys there is a light growth of timber. The eastern part of the township is drained by the waters of Belle creek. The soil is rich and causes Leon to be one of the most desirable farming sections of the county. The people are educated and progressive, being for the most part Americans of Norwegian and Swedish descent, although a few of the sturdy old pioneers of Norwegian and Swedish birth still remain to tell the story of their early struggles to their children. Of Leon it has been truthfully said: "Its cultivated fields, pos- sessing a soil of marvelous fertility, its broad acres of arable land, its timber and water, beautiful residences, barns and granaries, flocks and herds, and finally the health and general prosperity of its inhabitants. are the living evidences of a section of country rich in natural resources and abounding in happy homes."

The first settler, Haldro Johnson. a Norwegian, came here from Dane county, Wisconsin, in the fall of 1854. He made a claim on section 20, built a rude cabin and spent the winter there. The following spring he went back to Wisconsin, and married, bringing his bride with him to the new country, where they were to establish their rooftree and live in happiness. In the summer of 1855 came the following Scandinavians and their fami-

lies : A. J. Malande, Andrew Larson, Gutrom Pederson, Ole Peder- son, J. Wamberg. John Bottolfson, M. Edstrom. C. A. Haggstrom, William Olson and Rognold Johnson. They at once staked out claims and broke the land, most of which still remains in the possession of the families of the original claimants. In 1856 came Albert, Calvin, Samuel, David and Horace MeGaughey, F. F. Dimmick. James Cox, Seth Davis, Charles A. Johnson, William Greaves and Ellery Stone with his sons. The eastern people who settled in the central and southeastern part of this township in the early days did not as a rule remain long, and consequently few of their names have been handed down to posterity in this county, although several attained prominence in the localities where they afterward settled.

Frank Johnson, born May 8, 1856, and died September 7 the same year. was the first white child born and the first person to die in the township. The first school was taught in 1857 by Daniel Van Amberg, in a log schoolhouse near where William Olson afterward took up his residence.

Among the early settlers came H. Ferrell, who laid claim to a section of land and surveyed and laid out town lots, naming the place Wastedo. His dreams of a future great city were not realized. and a larger part of the village plat is now devoted to farms. In 1857 E. A. Sargent built a store and stocked it with general merchandise, and the next year Martin Thompson built another store. Blacksmith shops were opened in 1857 and 1865. In more recent years the store of M. T. Opsal at this point became the trading center of the town. The postoffice at Wastedo was discontinued some years ago and Canon Falls R. F. D. No. 1 was substituted.

Of Leon. thirty years ago, it was written: "The township is now inhabited almost exclusively by a steady, industrious class of people, natives of Norway and Sweden, and their descendants, the Norwegians residing principally in the southwestern portion of the township. and the Swedes in the northeastern. They are all, or nearly all, citizens of the United States, and as their inter- ests are thoroughly identified with the land of their adoption, they take a deep interest in the political and social welfare of the country. Many of them are men of wide education and abil- ity. some of them having represented their distriets in one or both branches of the state legislature, while others have filled local positions of trust and honor." This is no less true today.

To the Civil War Leon contributed the following soldiers : George Brockman, Charles Berdan. A. J. Bailey, W. D. Bryant, Ephraim A. Bard. Harry Bristol. John Banks, Lewis Butterson, David E. Burden. Edwin Cox, Almeran Davis, Peter Froyd. H. M. McGaughey, Eward G. Bailey. Elec Albertson, Christian Lud-

July 5, 1858, the first township election was held in the store of E. A. Sargent. Mr. Sargent was elerk of election and A. E. McGaughey was the forwarding elerk.

The oldest church in the township is the Spring Garden Swedish Evangelical Lutheran church. The Urland congregation of the Norwegian Evangelical Lutheran church was organized in the winter of 1871.

In 1859 the Rev. Mr. Barnes organized a Presbyterian church. and during the following year the Methodist people perfected an organization. but both of these attempts expired, owing to lack of support.

George Wright Matchan, deceased, will long be remembered for his sterling worth and noble Christian character. One of a family of fourteen children. he was born at Bilton, Yorkshire. England, August 8, 1830. in the house where his parents settled at their marriage. and where both died, after a continuous resi- dence of more than sixty years of happy life. Here was spent his boyhood and early manhood, and in April, 1850, he married Mary Ann Shields, daughter of William and Frances (Miller) Shields. also born at his native place. April, 1858, the family consisting of Mr. and Mrs. Matchan and three young sons, George, Robert and William. emigrated to Canada, taking passage in a sailing vessel of the type of that day. After a stormy, trying voyage of forty-nine days at sea. they landed at Quebec, from whence they went to Farmersville, Ontario, subsequently settling on a farm near the village of Green Bush, about twelve miles westerly from Brockville, on the St. Lawrence. Here were born to them two children, Almira and Edward. April, 1864, the family emigrated to the United States, living for a few months at Waukesha, Wis. During the summer of 1864 Mr. Matchan, leaving his family at Waukesha to follow later, started for Min- nesota in quest of a home. and in the fall of that year rented the farm of James Scofield. in the town of Roscoe, where his family joined him, remaining until the spring of 1866, and where was born to them another daughter, Laura. The summer and winter of 1866-7, they lived on the farm of T. D. Rowell, east of the village of Zumbrota, moving thence to the farm lying sonthwesterly from Zumbrota village, in the town of Roscoe, which Mr. Matehan had purchased in the fall of 1865 of Josiah Thompson, then living at Zumbrota. This farm consisted of 160 acres, for which he agreed to pay $800, paving $100 cash and $100 per annum, with interest at ten per cent. Here were born to them another daughter, Annie, and a son. Wesley.

Many were the trials and great the disconragements encoun- tered before the final victory over debt and necessary farm bet- terments, but the good old farm yielded not only a comfortable

living for the family during all the years of its subjugation and improvement, but in response to good cultivation made possible the purchase of an additional eighty acres adjoining, at a much greater price per acre than its own first cost. and the building of a fine home in the village of Zumbrota, at a cost, including the lands, of over $5,000. to which the family, then consisting of himself, wife, Annie and Wesley, removed, remaining until the fall of 1906, when, because of declining years and health, he sold with the idea of purchasing a home of less size, where he and the wife and mother might pass the last years of their lifetime with the least care and responsibility. In this respect. however, his calculations were defeated. Ile died at the home of his daugh- ter, Mrs. Laura Secore, Red Wing. February 5, 1907. At the village home above mentioned, April, 1900. Mr. and Mrs. Matchan celebrated the fiftieth (golden) anniversary of their wedding. at which were in attendance all of their eight children, the wives of those married, all their grandchildren and most of their nephews and nieces, numbering in all fifty-five persons. Mr. Matchan from his early boyhood was identified with the Meth- odist church, being one of the few original organizers of the First Methodist Episcopal church at. Zumbrota, with which he was identified as member, and in one and another official capac- ity, until the time of his death. Mr. Matchan was a man of positive character and intense conviction, clinging at all cost to the right, frowning publicly and privately upon that he con- sidered wrong. His word once given was sacred, and no incon- venience or sacrifice was too great for him to suffer that he might fulfill the simplest promise. He left surviving him five sons and three daughters, and his wife, Mary Ann.

The oldest son. George L .. is a prominent attorney residing at the city of Minneapolis. The second son. Robert D., a well known physician and surgeon, also resident of Minneapolis. where for two decades he has continuously occupied the chair of surgery in the homeopathic department of the medical school of the State University of Minnesota. The third son, William. resides at Milton, N. D., where he is engaged in the humber and grain business. A daughter, Almira Osborne, resides at Payette, Idaho. Edward M. resides on the old home farm in Roscoe, where he is making good both as a farmer and citizen. Laura, wife of J. A. Secore, resides at the city of Anoka, where her hus- band occupied the important position of superintendent of the department of manual training in the public schools of that city. Annie, wife of Rupert Staiger, resides at Zumbrota, where they own their home and large grounds, which represent no inconsid- erable increment indicative of their thrift and future prosperity.
