TOWNS.

Alma and Belvidere, on the south by Belvidere and Waumandée, on the east by Waumandee and Montana.

The town of Lincoln was the last town organized in this county up to present time. It was set off at the annual meeting of the county board in 1871 and named for President Lincoln at the sug- gestion of Charles Jahn. It consists of parts of Waumandee, Belvidere and Montana, the two sections, 25 and 36 in Range 12 having also at the time belonged to Waumandee. The surface is hilly and the principal part of the town consists of the main and tributary valleys of Little Waumandee Creek, which are described in Topography. The first settlers within the limits of the present town were Henry Mueller and Mathias Profitlich who came in 1853. The following year Jacob and Anton Fink, Andrew Hueller and Franz Theodore Schaaf came directly from the Rhine country. In 1855 Franz Jahn, Gustav A. Kretschmer, Franz Ginzkey, Fred Schmidt, Christian Schoepp, sr., and Fred Schaub arrived. Fred Zirzow, Joseph Hohaus, Jacob Braem, Joseph, Charles and Wil- liam Jahn, and George Goll came in 1856.

The first marriage was that of Gustav A. Kretschmer to Sophia Ginzkey, who were married at Fountain City by Marvin Pierce, then County Judge. The first birth was a son of Franz and Theresa Jahn. The first death was that of Jacob Fink, who was killed by a falling tree on his farm.

There were once two postoffices in the town, one at the Lin- coln House, kept by G. A. Kretschmer, and one in the upper part of the valley, kept by Henry Haunschild. Both are now aban- doned. The town contains [two taverns, one shoeshop and one blacksmithshop. In regard to schools, churches and the mill see the chapters on Education, Religion and Manufactures. The pop- ulation is at present entirely German, with the exception of John Haigh, the first, and also the present chairman. He is an Eng- lishman.

TOWN OF MAXVILLE.

The territory of the town of Maxville consists of Township 24, Range 13 and of that part of Township 24, Range 14 which lies on the east side of Chippewa River. The course of Chippewa River and Beef Slough has been so extensively described, that a repeti. tion would only be tedious. The town also contained some times the much discussed and disputed " Mile Strip " that is the north.

ern tier of Sections in Township 23, Ranges 13 and 14, about 8 square miles, but this bone of contention has been at the last meet- ing of the county board of supervisors returned to the town of Nelson, and may be left out of the description of this town. The surface is hilly in range 13, the few sections on the prairie do not materially change the character. Range 14 consists largely of swampland or overflowed lands and some meadows. The prairie is sandy as is also the main part of Spring Creek Valley. Bluff- lands, and side valleys are usually of a good quality of soil.

The settlement of Maxville was not very early in the history of this county, although the prairies formerly had a very inviting appearance. In 1855 William Bean, John Lafferty, Geo. King, Abbott Reed, Michael Aaron and Rev. Edward Doughty came to settle .. The following year Barney McDonough, William Allison, Jas. Mair and Herman Fuller came, but the most promising ar- rival was that of Coleman and Maxvell in 1857, with cattle, horses and household goods. They were deceived by the blooming ap- pearance of the prairie, its easy cultivation, and for a few years, abundant crops. The town of Bloomington was set off from Bear Creek at the same time with Nelson July 20, 1857 and organized at the next town election. At the annual meeting of the county- board in 1858 the name was changed to Maxville as a compliment to Mr. Maxvell. Joe Scafe was then living at the place now owned and occupied by Barney McDonough. Some pretended to him that they could not spell the name of the town. Joe was ready for them. It is spelled with a hem, a hai, a hex, a ve, a bi, a double hell and he. He was English, you know! He lives now in Missouri. After a while the prairie was exhausted, and Cole- man and a number of others left in course of time, but in about the same measure as the prairie became deserted, the bluffs be- came cleared and cultivated. Barney McDonough and some of Wm. Allison's family are still residents. Of old settlers I may mention Johnson, Yarrington, Jas. B. Green and others, also J. B. Mace, Morrris 'Powers, the Carrolls in Mosquito Hollow on the other side of the bluffs etc. Some few remain, others have taken the places of those who left. There was once a postoffice on the prairie, near the schoolhouse of District No. 1, and once there also was a good country store. Both are things of the past. The pop- lation is American and Irish, The northern part of the town is

not very far from Durand, Pepin Co., and does its trading there, where they also have their postoffice. The southern end is adja- cent to Little Bear Creek, and trades at Misha Mokwa, Nelson and some times at Wabasha. ·

TOWN OF MILTON.

The original town of Milton was laid out July 20, 1857, and was much larger than the present one. In May 1858 the name was changed into Eagle Mills, a cheap advertisement of Fetter's and Mehrmann's mill, or perhaps because this mill and the dam necessary for the mill, and at the same time a highway, caused so much noise and contention. This con tant drain on the county treasury and consequent dissatisfaction finally resulted in the vacation and distribution of the town of Eagle Mills, in which the Town of Waumandee received the northern part, that of Buffalo the remainder. All this is, however, sufficiently explained in the chapter on Organization. When the village of Fountain City was incorporated the town of Milton was reorganized, embracing, how- ever, only those parts which had fallen to Buffalo in the distribu- tion above mentioned. These are described as follows:

Range 11: Sections 4, 5, 6, fract. parts of 7 and 8, also N } of NE# 8, NW & of NW } 9, of Township 19.

Sections S ≥ 16, S } 17, S ≥ 18, 19, 20, 21, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32 and 33 of Township 20.

Range 12: Sections 1, 2 and 12 all fractional of Township 19.

Sections S ₺ 13, S } 14, fract. 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, fract. 27, fr. 28, fr. 33, fr. 34, fr. 35 and fr. 36 of Township 20.

The western part is level and swampy, the soil sand with a shallow layer of arable earth, the eastern and southern part is hilly and contains the lower parts of the valleys of the Wauman- dee Creek and of Eagle Creek, containing a notable portion of swampy meadows, but good soil on the slopes and on top of the bluffs. Adam Weber, one of the pioneers, settled finally in 1853 at the entrance of Eagle Creek Valley, Michael Obermeier in the same year north of him. Soon after and before 1856, Benedict Haney, Henry Kessler, sen., Jacob Blum, Sebastian Klett and Ludwig Moehlenpah came. The brothers Kammueller must have been among the earlier settlers. Carl Rieck and family came Oct. 1855 and so the town filled up. The first election in the original town was held in 1858 in the house of Fred. Binder, resulting in

per chapters. The population of the town consists of a majority of Norwegians, a considerable number of Americans and some Germans. The trade of this town is yet largely with Alma to which place the road is mostly level.

TOWN OF MONDOVI.

The territory of the town of Mondovi is Township 24 of Range 11. It is bounded on the north by the town of Albany in Pepin Co., on the east by Naples, on the south by Gilmanton and on the west by Canton. Beef River flows through Section 13 in a western, through Section 14 in southwestern and through other sections in a generally almost southern direction. The northern part is comparatively level and adjoins the valley of Big Bear Creek. From the hills of this plain and those in the town of Albany flow some streams which form what has been named Far- rington's Creek. From the heights in the southern part of the town Dillon's Creek flows toward Beef River. The soil in the corner between this latter creek and the river is largely sandy up to the foot of the hills and there is some sandy land west of the village near the river, but otherwise the land is of as good quality as in most towns. The south western part of the town is very hilly, with many valleys between the bluffs. The original town of Naples, of which Mondovi is the western part was set off in the shape it had for so long a time on the 20th day of March 1857, and in 1881 at the annual meeting of the county board the separation of the two towns into Mondovi and Naples was resolved upon.

The first settlers in this town came in 1855 and were H. P. L. D. and P. Farrington, Wm. Van Waters, Thos. Glasspool and Harvey Brown. Rev. B. F. Morse came in 1856. Luther Eager and family came the same year, also John Callahan. At the first election Orlando Brown was chosen chairman, Harvey Brown town clerk, J. W. Bump treasurer and L. D. Farrington assessor. It must be remembered that at this election, and only this, the town of Naples consisted of Townships 23 and 21 Ranges 10 and 11 and that Hon. O. Brown then lived in Township 23 h2 11. There were only 19 votes at this election, which does not see n to indicate a very dense population for such a large town. Therfirst marriage was that of Mr. and Mrs. Billings and the knot was tied

by Rev. B. F. Morse in a shanty belonging to John Callahan. The first child was born in 1856; his name is John Gifford.

The village of Mondovi is laid out about the corner of Sec. 11, 12, 13 and 14 and the plat recorded in Vol. 4, page 560, May 17, 1859. It is situated upon a level plateau, perhaps fifty feet above the surface of Beef River. It has a very handsome situation and contains numerous stores, two hotels, three churches, a handsome schoolbuilding, two mills, one newspaper etc. Of the churches I have given a lengthy history in the chapter on Religion; the mills are mentioned in the chapter on Manufactures. The village has, according to the census of 1885, 340 inhabitants almost exclusively Americans from the New England and other eastern states. Some years ago, especially before the construction of the Chippewa Valley railroad, the trade of this region was principally tributary to Alma, as present but very little of it, if any, goes in that direc- tion. Eau Claire and Chippewa Falls furnished always a very good market for cattle, hogs, eggs and butter and do so yet, though somewhat divided with Durand as a nearer shipping place.

The population outside of the village is mostly American in the neighborhood of the village, but largely Norwegian in the southwest part of the town. There are also a number of Irish families in different parts of the town.

TOWN OF MONTANA.

The town of Montana contains the following land:

Township 22, Range 10, with the possible exception of two forties in Section 6, adjacent to the town of Lincoln.

Township 22, .Range 11: Sections Et SEX and SEa of NE & 10, 11 except N + of NW 4, 12, 13, 14 except SW } of SW 4, 23 except NW } of NW } of SW 1, 24, 25, 34 except N & and SW & of NW &, 35 and 36.

The surface of the town is very rugged, but Bull's Valley and its continuation southwards along Waumandee Creek are wide, and most of Danuser's Valley is also wide, while the side valleys are located between steep bluffs, the northern range of which divides the Elk Creek Valley from Bull's Valley or rather the upper valley of Waumandee Creek. The eastside of the town be- longs to the basin of Trempealeau River. There are numerous swampy places along those creeks that cannot be used for any- thing but meadows. The land which admits of profitable tillage

646

TOWNS.

in the valleys as well as on the bluff, is of good quality. Mon- tana is bounded on the north by Dover, on the east by the town of Burnside in Trempealeau County, on the south by Glencoe and Waumandee, on the west by Lincoln. The first settlers within the limits of the town were in that part which is in Range 11 and formerly belonged to Waumandee. The families of Ulrich Von Wald and Christ Kindschy sen., were the first, and came in 1856, also August Helwig, and they settled on adjoining sections. They were for two years the only settlers. A Mr. Bull settled at the entrance of the valley which was named after him. His place was on the turn of the old state road westwards. John Bugbee was for a long time the only settler in Bull's Valley, but as he went to the war in 1861, I can not say whether he settled before or after that. In Danuser's Valley Conrad Christ and Andrew Florin set- tled in 1858, Florian Schneller and Balthasar Carish in 1859. A Frederick Schmidt also settled there, receiving from a small tamarack swamp near his residence the sobriquet of Tamarack Schmidt. At the time when I first got acquainted with that neighborhood Florian Danuser, Thomas Gasser, J. G. Senty, George, John and Leonhard Flury, Martin Nick, Wm. Pieper, Carl Koenig, Gregory Ripley, Geo. Dascher, John Duriseh, Christ. Veraguth and others were all living in Danuser Valley or some side vaileys, but Bugbee was still alone in Bull's Valley. Henry Wiemer, Carl Herzfeld and the brothers Henry and Ludwig Pabe were the first residents beyond the mountains. This was as late as 1866. So far the eastern part still belonged to Glencoe, the west- ern to Waumandee.

On the 8th of July 1867 the new town of Montana was set off, and organized 1858 at the town meeting held in the log school- house on Danuser's land, Peter Theissen was elected chairman and J. P. Remich clerk. Both of them had come but the year before and hailed from.the eastern part of Wisconsin. Before that time Caspar Meili, sen., Math. Hansen, Caspar Rupp, Michael Gebus and Jacob Weisenberger and Fred Zeller had been settlers for some time. The railroad land in the town had become open to entry and homesteads were taken up rapidly, so that in a short time the town was well peopled.

The first marriages in town were Conrad Christ to Maggie Florin and Andrew Florin to Susanna Schamann. Ferdinand

Harvey, Joseph Bond, W. B. Rowe, H. Knapp, S. E. Hanscome, Adam Alt, J. E. Rosman and others, who came at different times. From the great number of Norwegians in the town, most of whom . went on homesteads, it may be concluded that before 1863 the population was not very numerous. Most of the earliest settlers were Americans. With regard to schools, churches etc. see the chapters on Education, Religion, Agriculture etc.

TOWN OF NELSON.

In the town of Nelson we find the following land: 1. All of the fractional Township 22, Range 13, from section 1 to 24, as far as the sections exist. 2. The whole Township 22, Range 14, of which there are but few sections, mostly fractional. 3. All of Township 23, Range 13. 4. All of Township 23, Range 14, that is situated east of the Chippewa River, The eastern half of the town, and almost all of Township 23, Range 13, is very hilly, with deep valleys, from which Trout Creek flows to Beef River, the other Creeks flow partly to Beef Slough, partly to Little Bear Creek. The western part, though level, is mostly swamp land, through which Beef Slough and its many ramifications extend. In Township 23, Range 14, there is a strip of sandy land, which is high above the slough and between it and the hills. Bluff lands and valleys show the same character as elsewhere in the county, but there is quite a considerable area of woodland in the town. The town of Nelson was established in July 1857, probably in about the same shape and extent which it now has, except that the western half of the present town of Modena also belonged to it. The northern mile strip, as it is now called, seems to have been apportioned to Maxville, but was added to Nelson in 1867, separated from it again in 1883, and returned to Nelson by a reso- lution of the county board at its last annual session. The town is bounded on the west by the Chippewa and Mississippi Rivers, on the south by the city and the town of Alma, on the east by the towns of Alma and Modena, on the north by the town of Maxville. It is the largest town in the county. Settlements of a desultory kind were probably commenced early along the Mississippi and possibly on the Chippewa, but the first settler of whom we know is Madison Wright, who came in 1848 and about whom see chap- ter on Pioneers. Next after him came Christian Schaeublin prob- ably in 1851. From a statement of Mr. W. H. Gates it appears

649

TOWNS.

that in 1852 he came to Nelson's Landing, but settled in Alma 1855. The greater part of the early settlers came in 1855 among them Hon. J. L. Hallock, Hon. John Burgess, Andrew Dewitt, Ira Lawrence, Hartman Kohlhepp, Peter Mathew. In the follow- ing year Erick Alma, Ole Hanson, John Christenson, Wilson Crip- pin and others began settlement; in 1857 ; S. DeGroff, Luther Hewitt, Archibald Bell and H. H. Hurlburt, and others. After this period it would be tedious to enumerate all the new arrivals, but a good number of them will be found in the lists of early settlers.

The first birth is said to have been a child of Christian and Barbara Schaeublin. The earliest marriage on record to have been solemnized by Wilson Crippin, Esq., was that of Henry Case to Mary Gumbert Nov. 24, 1857, which would precede that of E. A. Warner and Mrs. Dickens by some weeks or months. Among the first deaths was a daughter of Ira Lawrence, who died of the bite of a rattlesnake.

The first election was held at the house of E. A. Warner on Sec. 8, T. 22, R. 13. There were only eight votes, and Wilson Crippin was elected chairman, John Burgess clerk and treasurer; this was in 1858. One of the most influential men of the town, though not one of the earliest settlers was Alexander Swim, a native of Illinois, who lived on the land afterwards owned and oc- cupied by Isaac Butler.

There are at present two postoffices in the town, Nelson and Misha Mokwa. The exact date of the establishment of Nelson post office I was unable to to learn, but as E. A. Warner was the first postmaster, it was not established before 1858 as he had come but a short time before. Nor can I give the exact date when it was transferred to Ed.Giebel, who at that time kept store near the old Farmers' Home Tavern. J. F. Butler, the present postmaster, was appointed July 28, 1886. The office is now kept in the village of Fairview near the railroad station of Nelson.

Misha Mokwa postoffice was established in 1871. Jas. W. Kelly was the first postmaster. After him the following gentlemen succeeded each other in the office: J. K. Latschaw, Robert Aitkin, J. B. Green, Jas. Imrie, Allen H. DeGroff and Wm. Chafee, who was appointed March 15, 1887. The office is kept in the village

650

TOWNS.

of Misha Mokwa, of which the plat was recorded April 10. 1873 in Vol. 20, page 22.

Besides this village there are now two others laid out in this town besides an addition. The first in point of time is Fairview, about half a mile northwest of Nelson station, the plat of which was recorded Sept. 5, 1884, in Vol. 33, page.

Smeltzer's Addition to this was recorded April 20, 1886 in Vol. 33, page 592.

The Village of Nelson is laid out adjacent to the station of the Burlington and Northern railroad. Misha Mokwa contains a gristmill, one store and one hotel besides other houses. Fairview has several saloons, one store and one blacksmith shop, Nelson one store, one hotel and two saloons, besides 'warehouses, depot, coal- magazine, and, I think, the schoolhouse of Dist. No. 5 and a Cath- olic church, which is not yet completed.

The plat of Nelson was recorded in Vol. 33, page 617, June 3, 1886.

The population of this town is very much mixed, but Germans and Norwegians constitute the majority of it, with the rest Americans, and some Scotch.

TOWN OF WAUMANDEE.

The territory constituting the present town of Waumandee is described as follows:

Township 20: Sections W } 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, W } 9, N 18, N± 17, NW # 16 of Range 11.

Sections 1, E 2 2, 12 and N } 13 of Range 12.

Township 21: Sections 1, 2, 3, E } 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18 except N } NW }, and thence all to 36 in Range 11. Sections SE } of SE { 13, 24, 25 and 36 in Range 12.

Before the formation of the towns of Montana in 1867 and Lincoln in 1871, the town of Waumandee embraced the Town. ships 21 and 22 of Range 11 with the eastern tier of sections in T. 21, R. 12 except Sec. 13, and also Sec. 25 and 36 of T. 22, R. 12. The two entire townships constituted the original town, the sec. tions on the west were annexed in the course of settlement in order to afford settlers communications on legal roads, which could not but lead into Little Waumandee Valley or else in the direc_ tion to the main Waumandee Valley road. The northwest part of T. 22, R. 11, Jay across the bluffs in Hutchinson Valley and Sec.

west of him, John Neukomm in Schoepp's Valley, J. C. Ganz on Theodore Meuli's place, Mordecai Johnson on the bluff and Fred. Morgan in Eagle Valley, Peter Ruf in Little Waumandee, Zacha- rias Thaldorf in Oak Valley. Michael Sendelbach, Aug. Karnath and John Farner also came. In 1858 John Baer may have come to Waumandee, but I remember of his having in 1859 a small clearing just north of the line of Buffalo City on the slough, where he lived. Wm. Thompson came the same year, John Turton the next, also Conrad Ochsner and Wm. Heyden. To enumerate later arrivals would make this sketch tedious.

The first birth was John Tierney a son of Peter Tierney. He was born Jan. 25, 1856. John Waters makes the same claim. The first marriage was that of Herman Altmann to Caroline Kirch- ner in 1855. The death of Joseph Knecht occurred in the same year, so the Atlas says.

At the first election Robert Henry was elected chairman and town superintendent and Levi Card town clerk.

At that time there was no mill in operation in this valley or neighborhood and the earliest settlers were obliged to go to Rol- lingstone to get their grain reduced to flour. That they also had to get groceries and other necessary things in Fountain City or Alma was a matter of course. In 1862 Caspar Schmitz and his wife, now Mrs. Bach, came to the Big Waumandee and began to keep store and saloon near the Catholic Church, and things began ‘ to assume an air of civilization. The organization of the town was begun by a resolution of the county board March 13th, 1856 and perfected at the election a few weeks afterwards. It filled up rap- idly and about 1870-80 could boast of two stores, two taverns, sev- eral blacksmith shops in different parts etc. These were the flush times when crops were large and prices good. But though crops are not so abundant as in those times, farming is still remunerat- ive in the town, only it is more diversified.

There are two post offices in this town, Waumandee and An- chorage. Waumandee postoffice was established in 1857. J. H. Manz was the first postmaster and held the office until 1865, when he turned it over to John Kirchner, who in turn was followed in 1871 by his son Charles Kirchner, the present postmaster. An- chorage postoffice was established Feb, 12, 1868. Hon. Robert

Henry was the first and is the present postmaster, having served now nearly twenty years.

A village plat of Waumandee is recorded in Vol. 20, page 120, which was done June 27th, 1871.

Concerning schools, churches, mills, roads and other things see the chapters on Education, Religion, Manufactures, Agricul- ture, Transportation etc.

Conclusion. 1

The history of each town is, as I am well aware rather short, and may to some people be unsatisfactory. But, after having treated elaborately of the county as a unit, I could afford to be short in regard to separate towns. Errors and ommissions may. also be detected, but for some of them corrections may be found in the "List of Early Settlers," in the lists of " Soldiers," and some seeming contradictions may without much trouble be rectified by slight allowances one way or the other. It is impossible to men- tien every one, and some have perhaps been omitted, because I was afraid of falling into errors in regard to them. The reader will find that on the whole I have endeavored to be as impartial as possible. This is one of the reasons why the histories of the sep- arate towns were made so short.

From some of the towns very little information was furnished to me, but if I had made the history of one town so much longer than that of others, there would have been some of the citizens of the seemingly neglected towns who would have ascribed the dif- ference to partiality. Little as I am influenced by clamors of that sort, I wanted to remove the cause for it. In the compilation of these histories I have now and then been obliged to consult the Atlas of Buffalo County on historical points but have done so re- luctantly. I have characterized the kind of information in the Atlas as well as the History of Northern Wisconsin before, as col- lected by strangers and often of persons who overlooked the fact that their own knowledge was only traditional. Experience has taught me a Jesson, during the compilation of this book, a lesson of caution, which increased my natural disposition to criticism, not for the purposes of rebuke and punishment but for the single and superior interest of truth.

REMARKS ON MAP.

The map of Buffalo County annexed to this book is intended to show the general features, especially the creeks and rivers. The boundaries of the towns are incidentally introduced as well as the names. The numbers of the sections have been omitted so as not to crowd or darken it. Those who have been living here for some time must be supposed to have some understanding of the ar- rangement of sections in a township, and also of the relations of townships and ranges to each other. For these the explanations in the chapter on Topography is certainly sufficient. The num- bers of ranges will be found on the top, along the northern boun- dary line, those of townships on the right hand, partly close to the eastern boundary. The lines indicating railroads were only in- tended to give the approximate situation, since in a map on so small a scale much more could not be expected. The boundary lines are indicated by lines consisting of dashes and dots between them. Latitude and longitude are indicated according to the statements in "Topography."

The County Board of Supervisors of this county has, on ap- plication of a majority of residents, restored the much discussed Mile Strip, that is the northern tier of Sections in the Township 23 of ranges 13 and 14 to the town of Nelson, so that now the boundary line, indicated by dots and dashes, should be one mile north of where it is indicated on the map. This change could not be foreseen at the time when the map was made or when it was printed. I had not even a suspicion of it, or I might have taken courage to effect it on paper at once.

I may be permitted to give a hint to those who may wish the lines of town boundaries a little more conspicuous. One way of making them so is to follow them with red ink, filling the spaces between dots and dashes; another way is to follow them with dry colors in pencils red, blue etc., those, who understand the appli- cation of them, will use water colors.
