May; selected land in Sect. 16 T. 24 R. 10 and lives upon it yet. He says: "Lived on bread and milk the first two years. I bought (once) a loaf of bread in Alma, cut a hole in it and put in some butter, and started up Beef River. It lasted me until I got up to Farrington's. The first meal I ate at L. D. Farrington's. I asked him for something to eat, and he told me to go down to the house, he had some flour and water, and I could mix me up some cakes." Andrew Barth says: "I acted as interpreter at the first lawsuit in Buffalo County."
Hon. Orlando Brown says. "Came to Wisconsin 1842 with my father Walter Brown and family, lived for one and a half year at Elkhorn, Walworth Co. Indians, deer, wolves and other wild ani- mals were plenty. May 1844 removed to the town of York, Dane Co., Wis., when there were but two families in that township. In 1852 made the overland journey to Oregon and California by ox- train which consumed six months, returned with my father's family in 1854, and settled with them in La Crosse Co., Wis. In June 1855 I came with my brothers Harvey and Carlton and Grove Wood to Buffalo Co. The winters of 1855-'56, and '56-'57 were .

LIST OF EARLY SETTLERS.
severe, and the few settlers in the northern part of the county ex- perienced many hardships.
Mrs. Caroline Brown was born in Crawford Co., Pa., and settled here May 8th, 1860. Her husband
Harvey Brown, brother of Orlando, was born in the town of Naples, Ontario Co., N. Y., and settled in Buffalo Co. June 6th, 1855 in that part of the town of Naples, which is now the town of Mondovi. He always lived on his farm, where he died June 10, 1886.
I take the liberty to add that Mr. Harvey Brown was by pro- fession a printer, and withall a man of strong common sense and liberal views.
John Clarke says: Came from Fond du Lac to erect the Steam Saw Mill for Bishop and Carpenter in April 1855. In 1857 and '58 in company with John Buehler put up the Fountain City flouring mill, grinding the first grain in the county in 1858. Es- tablished the City Agricultural Works in 1867.
Hon. Geo. Cowie, born in Lasswade, Co. of Midlothian, near Edinburg, Scotland, whose first occupation was mining, sailed 1848 from Glasgow to Pictou, Nova Scotia, went from there to Pottsville, Pa., 1849, thence to California by way of the Isthmus of Panama 1851, returned to Lonacening, Md., in 1853, from which place he went to Wisconsin 1855.
W. H. Gates came 1852 to Nelson's Landing, 1855 to Alma, was married to Miss Elizabeth Marti, February 23, 1856 and ap- pointed postmaster the same year. He built the first house in the place 1855, and the same year J. A. Hunner, John Heinrich, Phi- lipp Kraft, John R. Hurlburt and E. E. Heerman built their houses the same year. The first stopping place was John Marty's, who came to Alma in 1851. The first sermon, (Methodist) was preached in 1856 in the dining room of the Alma House; the first wedding was Abraham Schmoker to Maria Haug, June 7th, 1866, Gates performing the ceremony. The first birth was a child of Mrs. Wengert, wife of the pioneer of that name.
Mr. Gates gave some further items which with the above may be used in the special history of the City of Alma.
Fred. W. Hepp: Drove first stage from Fountain City to St. Croix Falls.

LIST OF EARLY SETTLERS.
Charles Niemann ran the first stage line between Alma and La Crosse.
J. Philipp Runkel: Only two settlers in this neighborhood, when we came here, Theodore and Nicholas Meuli, who had come a few months previous.
Lambert Reitz of Statzheim, Rhenish Prussia, settled in Spring 1855 and resided at Fountain City until his demise 1877. Left a wife and three children.
John Adam Raetz of Gondelsheim District of Bretten, Grand Duchy of Baden, left the old country, arriving July 10th, 1847 in Stevenson Co., Ill. He landed at- Wild's Landing, May 18, 1851, burnt the first lime at Fountain City, which sold at $1.00 a barrel. At Wild's Landing three families were crowded into one house, until after a considerable time they made a path to Holmes' Land- ing, from which he started claim hunting. Built a little house on what is now Schumacher's farm October 1851 and passed a very severe winter in it. Here they had the not very welcome visits of Indians and were often scared, but never hurt. He ascribes this escape to providence. Lost his cattle in Spring and had generally a hard time of it.
Capt. Jacob Richtmann, came to Wisconsin 1848, then five years old. He gives a number of removals, of which, however, only those in this county are of interest in this place. He came to Buffalo Co. in 1855 and staid with his father on the farm in Wau- mandee until 1859, when he went to work for Doty in Pine Creek, whom he considers the pioneer of that region. He worked then on Mississippi rafts until the outbreak of the Rebellion, when he enlisted in the Second Regiment of Wisconsin Cavalry. and after his discharge 1866 went on his father's farm, started a store in 1873 at Fountain City and in 1883 began running his own boats, as related in the chapter on Transportation.
John Peter Stein. The notes taken at an interview with him will be used in the article on Belvidere.
Jacob Stoll, born in Guntmadingen, Canton of Schaffhausen, Switzerland, came to America in 1850, to Fountain City in 1855, where he engaged in his trade as Blacksmith, built wagons in company with Mr. Sexauer, etc. and finally founded a hardware business, in which his son-in-law, Christ. Florin is associated with him.
577
LIST OF EARLY SETTLERS.
Henry Sigrist of Cross is remarkable for still living in the first house he built about 33 years ago.
Henry Stirn says he could relate many things, but must be asked for them.
John J. Senn, born in the Toggenburg, Canton of St. Gallen, Switzerland, was a laborer, teacher, and is now an insurance agent. His name is in the chapters on Political History and Organization, also in Education. He now lives at Fountain City as Secretary and General Agent of the Fountain City Mutual Fire Insurance Company.
Peter Tierney, of the Irish Valley, Waumandee, claims in cor- rection of the Buffalo Co. Atlas, that his son John Tierney was the first child born in Waumandee, Feb. 25th, 1856.
Conrad Ulrich, born in Stammheim, Canton of Zurich, Swit- zerland, has besides the three sons mentioned in the list two others, John, a teacher in the schools of Milwaukee, and Charles, Super- intendent of German instruction in the La Crosse schools. Mr. Ulrich deserves mention for many good qualities, and especially for his constant and successful enterprises in the cultivation of the grape.
J. H. Westerkamp, born in Hagewede, Amt Lemfoerde, of the old Kingdom of Hannover, in 1818, is a shoemaker by, and now for many years a merchant in the articles of, his trade. He came to Fountain City in 1854. It was then still Holmes' Landing and contained about four log houses.
Omitted from Class I:
Fetter, Ferdinand, lawyer, was born in Prussia, settled 1855 in Fountain City; died 1876. See Organization.

APPENDIX TO CLASS II.
Erick Alme, born in Lyster, Bergens Stift, Norway, came to this county July 3d, 1856, settled in Norwegian Cooley and re- mains on the old homestead now 31 years. He was one of the first of the Norwegians, who settled in this county. The winter of 1856-57 was remarkable for the deep snow. Indians were plenty during the first year.
Samuel Cooke, who, though not one of the earliest pioneers of the whole county, was the first, and for about two years the only settler in what is now known as the town of Dover. The follow-

bear with a zest as keen as that of an Indian, and a rifle as un- erring.
He always kept a lot of pets. Bears, deer and common sand- hill cranes were domestic animals at his house. Wolves were . frequent and sometimes attacked his cattle. Mr. Cooke claimed to have owned the most noted bear dog in Wisconsin. The deep snow of 1856-57 completely isolated the family in their new home, and it was not until March 1857 that they learned of Buchanan's election. Within two years there was an accession of only two settlers to the population, Geo. Wooster below and Ed- ward Cartwright above Mr. Cooke's, in the same valley. At first he considered Patrick Mulcare of Glencoe, 15 miles away, his next neighbor, but soon discovered the Loomis Settlement, about seven miles west of him. In 1868 Mr. Cooke bought the American House in Alma, and remained its landlord until 1874, when he moved back to his farm, where he died, April 10th, 1879, at the age of 60 years and four months.
