HISTORY OF WABASHA COUNTY


Eva, Howard, Kenneth and Earl, the last mentioned being an infant born March 21, 1920.


Matthias J. Hart, a retired farmer and stock raiser, residing in Mazeppa, was born in Chester Township, this county, September 10, 1869, son of Marcus and Elizabeth (Olinger) Hart. The parents were natives of Gravenmacher, Luxemburg. Marcus, the father, came to Erie County, New York, in 1856. In the fall of 1865 he returned to Luxemburg, and was there married January 1, 1866, to Elizabeth Olinger, a native of the same village as himself. With his wife, and his brother Michael, he returned to the United States, and for a while resided in New York. In 1869 he came to Chester, Wabasha County, Minn., and bought 120 acres of land on sections 19 and 20, where he started farming. A few years later, on March 16, 1872, he died, leaving two children, John M., born in 1867, and Matthias J., the date of whose birth has been already given. In 1873 his widow married her first husband's brother, Michael Hart, who owned an interest in the farm, which he had assisted in working. Michael was born June 22, 1839, and became a cripple at the age of 16 years, his leg being broken by a wagon. From the age of 19 to that of 27 he operated a stationary engine, and then, as already stated accompanied his brother Marcus and the latter's newly wedded wife, to America. After arriving in this country he lived four years in Pewaukee, Wis., for most of the time operating an engine. In 1870 he came to Chester, Wabasha County, Minn. After marrying his brother's widow, they conducted the farm together, and about 1883 they enlarged it by the purchase of an additional tract of eighty acres. They had two children: Annie, born in 1875, and William, born in 1877, both of whom are now deceased. Mrs. Michael Hart died April 20, 1902. Her husband died April 6, 1909.


Matthias J. Hart was reared on his parents' farm, and in his boyhood attended the district school, which was locally known as "Trout Brook College." Besides working on the farm, he gradually came to do most of the housework, on account of his mother's failing health. In the meanwhile he bought land as he found opportunity, and in 1899 moved to his own farm, one mile from the old home, where he engaged in general farming and stock raising on his own account, doing a prosperous business. After being thus engaged for about twelve years, in 1911 he retired and moved to Mazeppa, where he has since made his home. During the war with Germany, Mr. Hart took a patriotic part, assist- ing in all the drives for Liberty Loans, Red Cross, and stamp sales in the township. As a successful farmer and useful and patriotic citizen he is widely known and respected. Mr. Hart was married September 17, 1898, at Belle Chester, Minn., to Anna M. Bartholome, born in Chester Township, September 9, 1878, daughter of Nicholas and Katherine (Jacobs) Bartholome. The parents were natives of Luxembourg, Belgium, the father coming to the United States before the Civil War, landing at New Orleans, and proceeding thence to Iowa, where he settled. After a while he went back to Germany, but later returned to the United States and located on a farm in Chester Township, Wabasha County, Minn., where he spent the rest of his life, dying June 29, 1918. His wife is still living and is a resident of Belle Chester. They were the parents of eleven children; of whom ten are now living: Dominic, of Belle Chester; Rev. John N. Bartholome of Wabasha; Anna, wife of M. J. Hart; Elizabeth, wife of Frank Lippert of McVille, N. D .; Justine, wife of George J. Dobner of Faribault, Minn .; William, a resident of Spokane, Wash .; Nicholas and George (twins), of Dickerson, N. D. and Regent, N. D .; Catherine, wife of John Huneke of Malta, Mont., and Peter W. (second), who is now the Rev. Peter W. Bartholome, a teacher in St. Mary's College at Winona, Minn. The first Peter W. died in Wisconsin in 1893. Mr. and Mrs. Hart have one son, Lawrence Marcus, born September 7, 1902, who is attending St. Mary's College at Winona. In 1917 Mr. Hart became a member of the village council, and in the spring of 1918 was elected mayor, being re-elected to the same office in 1919. He has been a stockholder in and a director of the Peoples Bank since it was organized, and

is also a stockholder in the Farmers' elevator. He is fraternally affiliated with the Knights of Columbus, the Ignatius Benevolent Society of Belle Chester, and the United Workman. He and his family are faithful members of the Catholic church.


George H. Squire, president of the Peoples State Bank of Mazeppa, was born in Madison, Wis., August 8, 1865, son of William H. and Mary (Ingamells) Squire. The parents came to Minnesota in 1866, settling at Mazeppa, Wabasha County, where they remained three years. They then moved to Zumbrota, where they subsequently resided for the greater part of their time until their death, William H. Squire dying August 26, 1913, and his wife in May, 1916. The former was a Civil War veteran, having enlisted at Beloit, Wis., in Company E, 12th Regiment, Wisconsin Infantry regiment, and served three years. While in the service he had a stroke of paralysis from which he never fully recovered. George H. Squire acquired his education in Zumbrota, Minn., and subsequently learned photography, which he followed as a business for several years. In 1891 he came to Mazeppa and for three years he was employed in a general store here. Then for two years he was engaged in the livery business. In 1896 he was appointed postmaster, which position he held for 15 years, during 14 of which time he also conducted a furniture business. He is a member of the firm of Squire & Halgerson, conducting a general store, in which he owns a half in- terest. In 1909, when the Peoples State Bank of Mazeppa was organized, Mr. Squire was made president, which office he still holds. As a business man and financier he has attained a solid reputation in the county, founded upon hon- esty and ability. Mr. Squire was married May 6, 1890, to Rachel Phillips, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Simon A. Phillips of Mazeppa. Her parents were early settlers in this village, arriving in 1876, and for many years Mr. Phillips was a prominent merchant here. He died in 1907. His wife was a native of Germany and they were married in Illinois in 1865. She died January 31, 1910. Mr. and Mrs. Squire have been the parents of one child, Yale H., who was born April 6, 1894, and who lost his life while serving his country in the great World War.


Yale H. Squire was educated in Mazeppa, his birthplace, and at Pillsbury Academy, Owatonna. He soon engaged in journalistic work, first on the Mazeppa Journal, later as conductor of a paper in northern Michigan, and then as a reporter on the Minneapolis Daily News. After some further ex- perience in Duluth and Atlanta, Ga., he returned to Minneapolis and in the spring of 1914 was engaged by the Minneapolis Tribune. After making a good record and scoring one of the biggest "scoops" known for some time in the newspaper field of that city, he was transferred to the sporting news depart- ment of the paper as assistant sporting editor and qualified himself as the golf expert of the Tribune. When it became probable that war would be de- clared he offered his services to the Norton-Harjes Ambulance Corps and left Minneapolis April 15, 1917, with Joe McDermott and others. A few days later, on April 21, he sailed for France, which country he reached after his vessel had narrowly escaped being torpedoed by a German submarine. In Paris he enlisted in Section 21 of the French army and served four and a half months as an ambulance driver, donating not only his services but his expenses in this work, as the French government paid the men only three cents a day. When American forces got to France the ambulance service was disbanded, and young Squire might have returned home, but with his friend Robert G. Browning of Minneapolis, afterwards captured by the Germans, he elected to volunteer for the aviation service, and on September 15 he began training. On February 18, 1918, he received his commission as first lieutenant. After having one narrow escape from death, from which he saved himself by his presence of mind, he finished training and was made an instructor. It was but three days later, on June 26, while instructing Norman D. Hughes of Philadelphia, that he met his death, together with his pupil, owing to the fall of his plane. He survived until

12:10 a. 'm., June 27, and was buried in the officers' section of the American cemetery at Tours, France. He was one of the first young men from Wabasha County to offer his services, his loyalty to the country was firm and unshakable, and he took a great pride and interest in his work. His parents and his numerous friends can take pride in the thought that he did his full duty with unflinching courage and met his fate like the brave soldier he was.


Thomas W. Hodsdon, a well known farmer of Chester Township, and one of its leading citizens, has resided here since his birth, which took place Janu- ary 15, 1863, his parents being Charles and Harriet (Everson) Hodsdon. Charles Hodsdon, the father, was born in Waterville, Maine, and his wife Har- riet in Syracuse, N. Y. They came to Wabasha County, Minn., in 1855, having been married at Menomonie, Wis., where Mr. Hodsdon had worked for the Knapp-Stout Lumber Company. The land they homesteaded consisted of 160 acres in section 7, Chester Township, and was all wild, and at that early day there were numerous Indians in the vicinity. Mr. Hodsdon at once began the work of improvement and in time developed a good farm, erecting all necessary buildings. Here he and his wife spent the rest of their lives as industrious farmers, Mr. Hodsdon dying August 30, 1909, at the age of eighty years, and Mrs. "Hodsdon September 7, 1902, at the age of seventy. They had three chil- dren: Flora, who married A. D. Simpkins of Beltrami County, Minnesota, her husband being now deceased; Charles F. of Bowman, N. D., and Thomas. W., of Chester Township, Wabasha County. Thomas W. Hodsdon was educated in the district school, and worked for his father until he was 22 years old. Then, in 1885, he rented the home farm in Chester Township, which he operated as a renter until 1909, in which year he purchased it. Here he has since resided, carrying on general farming and stock raising. The farm is situated in section 7 and contains 114 acres, being provided with adequate buildings, and Mr. Hodsdon is operating it on a profitable basis. ; For 15 years he has been a member of the school board of district No. 66, and he also served three years as supervisor on the Chester Town Board. He is fraternally affiliated with the Masons, including the Eastern Star Chapter, the Workmen and the Degree of Honor. On July 3, 1884, Mr. Hodsdon was united in marriage with Katherine Barnish, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Barnish. Her parents, who resided at Brookville, Wis., are now deceased. They had eleven children, four of whom are now living: Elizabeth, wife of Fred Becker, of Aberdeen, Wash .; Fred, of Woodville, Wis .; Jessie, wife of William Page, of St. Paul; and Kath- erine, wife of Thomas W. Hodsdon. Mr. and Mrs. Hodsdon have had seven children : Lela M., born October 23, 1885, now Mrs. Bert Rice, of Zumbrota : Jessie E., born June 26, 1887, who is the wife of Earl Lang of Cogswell, N. D .; Charles J., born June 25, 1889, who died September 10, 1889; Cassie J., born August 11, 1890, who is the wife of Henry Raasch of Zumbrota; Lucy H., born August 22, 1892, who is the wife of Olof Lindskog of Faribault; Frederick J., born May 5, 1895, who is living in St. Paul; and Harold T., born May 12. 1899, who is residing on the home farm with his parents. Frederick enlisted in July, 1917, in Company D, Third Minnesota Infantry, and was stationed at Camp Cody, New Mexico. He was discharged December 18, 1917, on account of dis- ability.


Henry H. Roberson, one of the early settlers of Gillford Township, now de- ceased, was born in Greenwich, Washington County, N. Y., June 23, 1841. He. resided in his home locality until the latter fifties, when he first came to Wa- basha County, Minn. After a brief residence he returned to New York state,. but he must have been impressed by what he had seen of the possibilities of this new country, for in 1862 he came back to Wabasha County and bought 160 acres of land on section 34, Gillford Township. At the same time he took a claim of 80 acres adjoining, in section 27. Eighty acres of land was improved when he took possession, and there was a small house and some straw shacks on it. Thus provided with a homestead, all he needed was a suitable help-
