In the spring of 1909 the electors of the village voted munici- pal bonds in the sum of $3,000 to be used toward the construction of a new city hall, and the building was finished in October of the same year at a cost of about $12,000. It is a fireproof structure 40x60 feet in size and contains a large hall, fire station, jail, coun- cil rooms, ete .. and is withal a fine structure and admirably situated to the needs of the village. The fire department consists of about forty officers and men under Chief J. A. Kaiserlik, divi- ded into three companies, and thoroughly equipped with fire fighting apparatus .- Ralph W. Holmes.

PINE ISLAND TOWNSHIP.

Pine Island is in the southeast corner of Goodhue county, com- prises township 109, range 15, and is bounded on the north by Zumbrota, on the east by Wabasha county, on the south by Olin- sted county and on the west by Roscoe. The valley of the Zum- bro, in the southern part, is a mile wide. In the early days the northern and southwestern portions were heavily timbered, and much of this timber has been allowed to remain standing. The geologie formations of this township differ materially from the rest of the county, but like its neighboring Goodhue county town- ships, its soil is rich, and its farmers consequently prosperous. The superior advantages of wood and running water, combined with rich rolling prairie land, naturally attracted a large number of settlers in the early days, and even previous to this, the place had been a favorite resort of the Indians.

The men who enlisted in the Civil War from Pine Island were : Edward Ash, Jr., William C. Ackerman, Silver Austin, John Bump, Benjamin Il. Briggs. Norval Bishop, Ole P. Burg, Calvin B. Clark, S. P. Corning, William B. Chandler, Capt. Otis S. Clark, Edward V. Diekey, Ed Dowling, Jasper W. Dickey, William B. Dickey, Henry Detmaring, Sylvester Fox, Peter E.

ROSCOE TOWNSHIP.

Roscoe comprises township 109, range 16, and is bounded on the east by Pine Island, on the south by Dodge county, on the. west by Cherry Grove and on the north by Minneola. The south- eastern part is cut up into lots and is practically a suburb of Pine Island village. In natural features Roscoe very closely resembles the township of Pine Island. It has fine prairie lands, somewhat elevated in the north and descending in rolling undu- lations to the valley of one of the branches of the Zumbro in the south. The drainage is through the Zumbro and its branches in the south and a few creeks in the north. In the southern part of the township are tracts wooded with white and burr oak, sugar maple. elm and poplar. With running water, fine timber and

210

HISTORY OF GOODHUE COUNTY

deep prairie soil, it made a most desirable place for the location of the early settlers.

James Haggard and W. Wilson came in 1854. Their claims were on section 5, where they erected cabins and prepared for permanent settlement. Wilson, however, after some time, returned to his old home in the East, and Haggard, discouraged by the burning of his cabin, went to Brown county, where he became a prominent citizen. Shortly after the coming of Hag- gard and Wilson there arrived Simon Sackett, D. F. Stevens and II. D. Devoe. They were followed the next year by Fletcher Hagler, J. R. Good, David Coleman, J. Rutherford, William Farnam, Alexander Long. P. G. Wilson, William Fry, T. D. Hall and J. J. Hagler. Fletcher Ilagler, above named, had his elaim where the village of Roscoe now stands. He built the first frame dwelling in the township and served as postmaster, but afterward became one of the poineers of Pine Island. Oliver Webb, a lineal descendant of the Pilgrims, came in 1856. John (. Hepner. for many years the village blacksmith, came the same year and built a blacksmith shop. Among others who came at about the same time were two brothers named Dickinson, B. W. Halliday, G. G. McCoy, HI. B. Powers and Charles Dana. The latter named the town from the township of Roscoe. Illinois, where he had previously lived.

In 1856 Messrs. Hagler and Good built and stocked a store for general merchandise. This store was kept in operation about two years and then discontinued on account of the financial depression. In the spring of 1856 the same company had a village plat surveyed and the blocks and streets laid out. It never, however, reached the gigantic proportions of which the proprietors so fondly dreamed. although the proprietors helped all they could by getting a hotel built and a postoffice started. An early history says: "These pioneers experienced their full share of the hardships incident to the opening and settling of a new community. At onee time Mrs. Stevens, the mother of D. F. Stevens, having sent her son to Dubuque for household supplies, relates that for two months she did not look upon the face of a white person except that of her young daughter; and the only bread they had to eat was made from corn given her by the Indians and ground by herself in a coffee mill."

The first religious serviees in the town were held at the home of Mrs. Stevens in the fall of 1854, the Rev. John Salmon offici- ating. The first church organization took place in the school- house at Roscoe in the spring of 1857. The first Sunday school was organized in 1858, and Loren Webb, son of Oliver Webb, was the first superintendent. In the spring of 1855 Mrs. Haskell Burch, while living in a covered wagon, awaiting the completion

of a better habitation, gave birth to twins, being the first white children to see the light of day in the township. H. C. Emery and Mrs. Mahala Sackett were the first couple united in matri- mony, the ceremony being performed in July, 1856. The first death occurred the same year, that of William Fry. The first school, erected in 1857, was taught by Annette Leek the same year. J. T. Mitchell, who came in 1856, assisted in starting a pioneer school on the southeast corner of section 11, later known as McCoy's district. This school was first taught by Sophia Blanchard, in the spring of 1858. Miss Blanchard afterward became Mrs. John Gove.

The township settled up rapidly. The predominating people in the town are now Americans of Norwegian descent or birth. There are also many residents of Swedish and German birth or descent, and there still remain a few of the descendants of the old eastern families, but these latter for the most part have moved away. The town is pre-eminently one of prosperity, rich land, beautiful homes, and a progressive, contented people. The second generation is for the most part well educated, and the third generation is making rapid strides in the public schools. Two calamities which occurred in the early days have fixed themselves firmly in the minds of the people. The first hap- pened in 1860. Jeremiah Ray, one of the pioneers, had followed the rush of the gold seekers to Pike's Peak, leaving his wife and children. He prospered in his new location and was contemplat- ing sending for his family, when ocurred the sad accident which robbed him of his recently-born twins. In the month of June the family residence was struck by lightning, and at once burst into flames. Mary Jane Shields, a girl living in the household, succeeded in getting Mrs. Ray and the two older children out of the house. Mrs. Ray, however, although still ill, saw that her twins had not been saved and rushed back into the house. Blinded by smoke and weak as she was, she was unable to rescue the babies, and they perished in the flames. George Lantz, after escaping the murderous rain of shot and shell on the battlefields of the Civil War, perished in the following manner: In the winter of 1865-66 he went to Mantorville, Dodge county, about twelve miles from his home, on horseback, and returning in the · evening a blizzard met him. While passing through a grove of timber he was warned of his danger and told that it was prae- tically impossible for him to reach home. He persevered, how- ever, and was found frozen to death the next morning within a few rods of his own home. He had reached a fence, and in endeavoring to climb over made a misstep and fell back, to rise no more. The horse was found at a neighbor's barn. It is supposed that he let the horse go, hoping that by walking he

212

might induce sufficient circulation to keep warmth and life in his body until he could reach his house.

The first town meeting was held May 11. 1858, with the result that officers were elected as follows: Supervisors, Oliver . Webb (chairman), James Mann, N. S. Libby; clerk, William Sackett; justices of the peace, Fletcher Ilagler, James Mann; collector, J. S. Wickham; assessor, JJ. T. Mitchell : overseer of the poor, Horace Barber; constables. E. P. Penney, J. R. Good. Among the early supervisors were: Oliver Webb, G. G. MeCoy, J. B. Dorman (two terms). Reuben Freeman, J. T. Mitchell, C. W. Libby, J. T. Mitchell (two terms), F. Hagler, B. W. Halliday. Among the early town clerks were William Sackett (four terms), James Green, S. W. Rice, L. H. Rice (four terms), H. L. Holmes.

Roscoe's contribution to the Civil War ranks was as follows : R. C. Barnes, E. H. Drake, Norman Dickinson, Jerry B. Getman, E. A. Hodge, H. L. Hohnes, E. L. Ives, A. J. Johnson, E. P. Kin- caid. John M. Lee, Josiah Lothrop, David N. Lake, Samuel Maine, Captain G. G. McCoy, Ormando Merrifield, Edmund Parker, Andrew N. Perkins, Elton C. Parker, Joseph Pickering, Silas W. Rice, Amos G. Scofield, George S. Scofield, David B. Scofield, Joseph Townsend. G. W. Van Sydle, M. L. Webb, Captain L. A. Webb, Richard Waterman, Lars . Kesphol, D. W. Abbey, Orris Fox, James Shield. Alfred Collins, William Shield, John Peterson, Hermon Perkins, Lyman J. Ward, Marion Blacker, William H. Shadwell. Charles Cade, Orlando Freeman, Lewis Freeman, George Fox. William Hemenway, Amos B. Mitchell, Francis Sackett, Pythagoras Wilson, William Bleedon, John Buhler, Rich- ard Dressel, John Doyle, Thomas Devine, John Dolchy, Frederick Hamman, John Krenbeng, Frank Kuntz, Swan P. Peterson, Jacob Rosch. John Schugg, Fred Schaunberg, George Gortman and Benjamin Light.

Roscoe Center was founded in 1858. At that time it was known as Sunapee, and Truman Parker was appointed post- master. The name was changed to Roscoe Center in 1863. At this point is now a small settlement, and here also is the Nor- wegian Lutheran church, a commodious structure capable of seating 500 people.

Roscoe village is also a hustling little settlement. The post- office is now discontinued and mail is received by the Zumbrota , R. F. D. No. 4. The village is thirty-two miles southwest of Red Wing and eight miles southwest from Zumbrota.

STANTON TOWNSHIP.

Stanton consists of that portion of township 112, range 18, lying in Goodhue county. It is divided into river terraee and upland, the greater portion of it being the former. There are

213

HISTORY OF GOODHUE COUNTY

two, and in some places three, distinet terraces, which are prac- tically level, extending along both sides of Prairie creek and the Cannon river. The latter valley is frequently more than a mile wide, and embraces large and valuable farms. The upland is undulating and has a soil similar to that of the terraces, although its sub-soil is usually clavey rather than gravelly. There is timber along some portions of the Little Cannon and sparsely along the banks of Prairie creek. The section along this creek is broad and beautiful, bordered by the higher prairie lands, which renders it picturesque and charming to all who behold it. The township is bounded on the north by Cannon river, which separates it from Dakota county, on the east by Cannon Falls, on the south by Warsaw and on the west by Dakota county. Stanton was the original name applied to this township, but at its organization it was changed to Lillian, Stanton not having proved acceptable to the state authorities. It was later, however, changed back to Stanton, the name being given in honor of William Stanton, Sr., one of the earliest settlers. The township was originally a New England settlement. most of the pioneers being natives of Vermont and of Puritan ancestry. Some moved further west, but many of them remained, and their descendants still live on the original farms.

Late in the fall of 1854 John and George Seasons made claims on the Little Cannon in the eastern part of the township. Soon after. Jonathan and Alonzo Dibble and William Thomas settled near them. In 1855 came the real influx of immigration, when a party of New Englanders arrived from Wisconsin, where they had previously made a settlement. The party consisted of Nor- man Daniels. William Stanton. Sr .. William Stanton. Jr., Robert Deakin, Samuel Daniels and George Gould. There were also a number of others in the party, as well as the families of those mentioned. In the fall of the same year Peter Fagen and Hugh Wooden, with the father and two sisters of the latter, settled here, but one by one the entire family of the Woodens died, leaving no survivors.

The first death was that of Mrs. George Seasons. The mar- riage rites were performed for the first time for George Gould and Experience Daniels. in October, 1855. The first religious services in the town were held in the winter of 1855-56. at the house of William Stanton, Sr., Rev. J. W. Hancock. of Red Wing, officiating. William Cleveland taught the first school. Rev. Hancock says: "The log house built by William Stanton, Sr., near the road leading to Faribault from the nearest Mississippi towns, was for several years the only place for the entertainment of travelers between Cannon Falls and the further West. Mr. Stanton's latch string was always hanging out, and every civil-

appearing stranger was welcome to such accommodation as he had. He frequently entertained fifty persons the same night. Not many of those who came to settle at that time were able to have good sized log houses. Sod houses and board shanties were common. The years which have passed since then have brought great changes."

In the early days there were two flouring mills, one owned by Messrs. Bailey and Collins on the Big Cannon, and the other by Messrs. Wilcox and Archibald on the Little Cannon. The latter, known as the Oxford flouring mill, was burned several years ago. The Methodist Episcopal church was built in 1874 on section 32. It is 28x44 and cost $2,000. The Oxford Methodist church was completed in June, 1873, size 26x40. These churches were the first in the township.

Stanton's contribution to the Civil War was as follows: Jonathan Clifford, Ezra Cornell, Emanuel Deaken, Daniel Good- hue, William Goudy. John W. Gould, Samuel Gould, Charles Goodhue, L. B. Hat. Hiram lloffstetter, Whitney Jewell, Elisha A. Jackson. John W. Moore. W. H. McDonald, William E. Poe, Jonathan S. Poe, Reby S. Philbert, James L. Scofield, Charles M. Scofield. Edwin Season, Sylvester Trusdell. Edward Thomas, Joseph Thomas, Elijah T. Thomas, Gilbert Trusdell, Charles Vier- kent. Edmund Deaken. John Chase, James Strange. Otis B. Bailey, James Babb, Jr .. David Denny, Henry Drought, Patrick Quinlan. Eli Marsh, Andrew Norelius. William Harrison. August Kaunlke. Reinhart Reibath.

Stanton is a station on the Chicago & Great Western railroad, in Stanton township. twenty-five miles southwest of Red Wing. It has a hotel, postoffice, a church. schoolhouse and several places of business.

Oxford Mills is situated on the Little Cannon, and here were located the Oxford flouring mills. Here are now a Methodist church. residences and other buildings.

Cascade is a settlement in the northwestern part of the township.

VASA TOWNSHIP.

Vasa is the center of the Swedish settlement in Goodhue county. The township comprises all of township 112, range 16, and all of that part of township 113, range 16. that lies south of the Cannon river. It is bounded on the north by the Cannon river, which separates it from the town of Welch, on the east by Featherstone, on the south by Belle Creek and on the west by Cannon Falls. Belle creek crosses the township from south to north and flows into the Cannon river. The surface is some-

what broken or rolling. but the soil is excellent. Sections 19, 30 and 31 constitute a high table land.

To this rich land, in 1853, came S. J. Willard, Colonel Hans Mattson, Charles Roos, Gustaf Kemp and Peter Green. They all made claims and Roos and Kemp stayed through the winter. the other returning to Red Wing to find work until the spring of 1854. when they began in earnest to build homes and to break the soil. A few accessions were made to the colony that year, and one of them. whose name is now forgotten, died soon after his arrival. This was the first death, and his mortal remains were tenderly and reverently conveyed to their last resting place in the land he had crossed the ocean to look upon but which he did not live to enjoy.
