Just as times were becoming a trifle easier, the war broke out and prices soared to the sky, more than doubling the cost of living. A few men volun- teered, but the others, though no less patriotic, thought it impossible to leave their families destitute and unprotected. Then in the summer of 1862 came the great Indian scare. Following the Minnesota massacre rumor spread throughout this whole region, to every scattered home, that on a

certain day the Indians would sweep through here, killing and burning everything before them. The excitement was intense. People left their homes and all they had and took their families to some place of greater security.

Father lived at Fall Creek, and those in our neighborhood came to our house, it being new and very strongly built of logs. Here they brought axes, pitchforks, rocks for throwing, and whatever arms and ammunition they could muster, laid in a stock of water and provisions, and waited for two days and nights in fear and trembling, expecting every moment to see smoke rising from their homes, or hear the cries of the savages.

Many of the people of Bear Creek collected in Durand and there pre- pared for the coming of the Indians as best they could. One little incident happened which caused some amusement even at so serious a time. Several of the neighbors with their families had collected at J. E. Ward's, to go in a company from there to Durand. They loaded their provisions and some small valuables and started, expecting every moment to see or hear some sign that the Indians were just upon them, when they heard a child's cry and looking back, saw Nattie, the two year hopeful of the Ward family, standing in the yard, just realizing that he was being left and raising his voice in remonstrance. In the hurry and excitement he had been over- looked, each thinking some one else had him in charge.

After two or three days of sleepless anxiety, people began to fearfully return to their homes, and finally all returned and settled down to their usual occupations without an Indian having been seen by any one. How the rumor started was never discovered, but certain it is that the scare was very widespread and intense. My mother wrote a farewell letter to her friends in Ohio, nearly frightening them to death, until they got her next letter, telling them she was alive and her hair still fast to her head.

During the next year a number of the men from Bear Creek were drafted and obliged to go to the war. Think what a trial it was to the hus- band and father to leave his family in this wild new country with no one to support and protect them; what anxiety and hardship for the wife and mother left in loneliness and privation to take the best care of the home and little ones.

The first school in Bear Creek, before any school districts were organ- ized, was taught by Mrs. J. E. Ward in the bedroom of their house in the summer of 1857, and there being an early frost that fall, she took her pay in soft corn, so many bushels per scholar. Some of her pupils were Evin Inschoe, Ezra Sabin, John Sodel and others of about that age.

All of the first schoolhouses were of logs with home-made seats. The blackboards were made of matched boards, planed and painted black, with pieces of sheepskin for erasers. There were no globes, maps or charts ; lead pencils were only used by the large scholars, and tables and paper were entirely wanting, excepting for home-made copy books, in which the teacher or some good penman in the district set the copy-very rude and uninterest- ing, I think I hear our boys and girls say. Yes, but many of those boys and girls became very thorough scholars in the common branches. Having no high school to look forward to, they spent more time on those studies which

constitute the essential bases of all good scholarship. And then what fun and frolic we had. Not one among us ever had an overshoe, nor did we think of cold feet. Lucky the ones who had mittens, for we had no purchased one in those days. The busy mothers spun the yarn and knit mittens, and after being once fitted out, if we lost them, ten chances to one we went with- out the rest of the winter. I usually lost mine. We built snow forti, stormed and took them, and were stormed and routed in turn. One winte: we dammed the spring a few rods from its source and made a pond of no mean size. Then the big boys made a raft for their own special use, but I wept until they took me on board, when, by some mischance, so they vowed, the raft tipped and I went in, kersplash.

Sleds were few, and those few home-made, but when we couldn't get a sled to slide down hill on we took a board, or stood up and slid down the hill on our feet, at which we became so skilled that only occasionally did any one bring up in the spring which lay at the foot of the hill.

The schoolhouses were then the center of the social life of the con- munity. There were held spelling schools, debates, singing schools and religious services. The schools then were much larger than now. In the winter the older boys and girls all attended, many of them until they were 18 or 20. In the summer the large boys worked on the farms, and somle of the older girls taught school, and, as the summer schools were attended? only by the younger children, they were perfectly qualified to teach them, providing they had the teaching faculty. Great pains were taken to procure teachers for the winter terms who were thoroughly informed in all the common branches, and, as many big boys, men grown, attended in the win- ter, it was generally thought best to employ a man teacher. Among those who taught in the schools about here, from 30 to 40 years ago, are: John Allison, Philo Goodrich, C. F. Eager, Ryland Southworth and a little later, Portland Richards, J. D. Eldridge and Andrew Allison.

Through the winter each of the three or four schools nearest here, particularly the Wood, Averill, Stringer and Newton schools, would have a spelling school about once a month, so timing them that there would be one at some one of the schools about every Friday night. As each school at- tended and took part in the entertainments of the others, we had many merry happy times. The program would consist of dialogues, interspersed with recitations, or "pieces," as we called them then, and an occasional song. Then came the general spelling, in which old and young took part, and last of all the "spelling down," when the champions from the several schools would wrestle long and valiantly to see who could spell down the others. How the school which won would cheer the victor. No theater or opera that I have seen in later years has seemed grander or more interest- ing than did a dialogue of considerable pretentions which several of the older scholars, including my brother and sister, each dressed to suit the part, presented at a spelling school one winter when John Allison taught our school. Then what animated debates we sometimes had, waged as hotly as if the fate of a nation depended on which side won.

We of the middle generation, as we may call ourselves-this vicinity knowing only the three generations, our fathers, ourselves and our children

-are glad we can give our children more comforts and advantages than could our parents give us. They were obliged to put every dollar, excepting what was needed for the actual necessities of life, into clearing the land, we, their children, farm today. Our fathers cut these farms out of the dense woods, and it was about all they had time and strength to do. We of the next generation have cleared for action, and have been able to spend our time and strength in improving them and building comfortable, pleasant homes so that those of the third generation know little or nothing of want or privation. But don't on that account think lightly of the effort it has cost to bring this about, and if you would be truly happy, learn to despise not, the simple, everyday things, for they are what must make up a great part of each life. Let us all try to get out of each day that goes by some good, and not wait for some great thing to do by and by. Many of those who bore the burden and heat of the day have crossed the river, but their work re- mains; let us hold them in tender remembrance.

To the few who are still among us let us show, in every way our affection and esteem, and let us each return sincerest thanks to those who have made it possible for our lives to be easier and broader than theirs.

The Church of the Brethren in this vicinity dates back about forty years. The first services were held in the Oak Grove Schoolhouse, in Peru Township, Dunn County, Sept. 14, 1879, by Daniel Fry, Enoch Eby and C. F. Wirt. On that date a church was organized with the following members: Henry Baker, Martha Baker, D. B. Thomas, Elizabeth Thomas, Joseph Keck, Magdalene Keck, S. H. Baker, Mary Baker, George Hower, Esther Hower, Hannah Moser, Emeline Moser, Joseph Morrison, Solomon Yoder, Hannah Yoder, Joseph Mishler, Rebecca Mishler, J. A. Baker, L. M. Baker, H. C. Baker, Katie A. Baker, Jacob Wheeler, Benjamin Clements, Susan Clements, Levi Stanton, Katherine Hoover, Ada A. Robbins, Hen- derson Joyce and Mary Ann Joyce. The first church was erected in the township of Rock Creek, Dunn County, in 1892. In 1903 the church in Albany Township was erected. Among some of the most prominent mem- bers were: Mr. and Mrs. H. C. Baker, Mr. and Mrs. E. E. Joyce, Mr. and Mrs. D. B. Thomas, Mr. and Mrs. Warren Ayers, Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Wheeler, Mr. and Mrs. Drinkwine, Mrs. Andy Keck, Mr. and Mrs. Jonathan Moser, Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Holmes, Mr. and Mrs. Theodore Parker, Mr. and Mrs. H. J. Cripe, Mr. and Mrs. David Davis, Mr. and Mrs. Ed. Davis, Mr. and Mrs. F. Peden, Mr. and Mrs. M. L. Cripe, Mr. and Mrs. O. D. Mike- sell, Mr. and Mrs. Freeman Mikesell, Mr. and Mrs. Irwin Baker, Mr. and Mrs. John Mikesell, Mr. and Mrs. David Cripe, Mr. and Mrs. John Cripe, Mr. and Mrs. Howard Peden, Mr. and Mrs. George Cripe, Mr. and Mrs. C. C. Salsbury, Lester Root, Mr. and Mrs. Mannas Moser, Mrs. Ira Isham, with many members of their families and other younger members. In a his- tory of this church, special mention should be made of the work and life of Elder and Mrs. H. C. Baker, who labored long and conscientiously in this organization. Mr. Baker was placed in the eldership of the congrega- tion Dec. 14, 1886, and served continually and most faithfully until his

death some two years ago. He was a good man and always untiring in his efforts for the good of his congregation. He held the first revival meet- ing after the organization of the church, and as the immediate result, twenty-five new members were gained. His later efforts were likewise successful. His widow is the only charter member now living here. Nearly all the others have died, only a very few having moved away. Those who have served this congregation as pastor are Elder H. C. Baker, E. E. Joyce, Lester Root and C. L. Salsbury.

The Holy Rosary Congregation of Lima is located on section 19, Town- ship 25, Range 12, in a most commanding position, and is the religious, educational and social center of the community. In the seventies there came to this region an influx of sturdy settlers from Lower Austria in what was then the Austrian Empire. Some of these families settled in Lima township. Among them may be mentioned Anton and Dan Forster, Anton and Math. Faast, John Bauer, John F. Bauer, Mike Anibas, John Melchior, Ferdinand and Joseph Brunner and many others. These men and their families were all devout members of the Catholic church and worshipped with their fellow countrymen at Durand. In 1885 some sixty or seventy families settled here, and it was believed that the time was ripe for the establishment of a church in Lima. The Right Rev. Bishop Flasch, of La Crosse, consented readily to the enterprise and placed the work under the spiritual leadership of the Rev. Father Joseph M. Baur, of Durand. Led by Melchior Brunner, John Baur and Mike Anibas, the charter mem- bers of the church, numbering some sixty families, set to work with a will and in 1886 had a sightly church building ready for dedication. The Rev. Father Baur, of Durand, continued to serve the congregation, followed by the Rev. Charles B. Weikmann of the same place. In 1902, however, Right Rev. Bishop Schwebach appointed as resident pastor here Rev. Godfrey Noever. With the appointment of Father Noever, the congregation purchased a near-by farm house from Ed. Faast for a parsonage. Father Noever served until 1910 and was suc- ceeded by the Rev. M. Wernerus. The present pastor, Rev. Martin Caspar, has served since 1912. Under his pastorate the congregation has flourished, a new modern brick parsonage completed Nov. 1, 1912, and the beautiful school erected. Some of the leading trustees of the church have been John Baur, Mike Anibas, Joseph Brunner, Frank Endl, Ferdinand Brunner, Engelbert Koller, Anton Schuch, John Weisinger, Andreas Bauer, John F. Bauer, Alex Gruber, Joseph D. Bauer, D. M. Anibas, Anton Weiss, J. P. Bauer, M. Brunner, Louis Bauer, Frank Weber, Thomas Bauer, John L. Bauer, Frank Faast, Charles Faast, Math. Brunner and others. In the early days the baptisms of the people of the region now embraced in this parish were performed at Durand. The first two were by Rev. Albert Mendl, those of Theresa Forster, Nov. 11, 1877, and of Barbara Fidi, Dec. 25, 1877. The first baptism of a child from what is now this congregation, performed by Rev. N. Flammang, was that of Thomas Bauer, Jan. 12, 1879. The first from what is now this congregation, performed by Rev. Joseph M. Bauer, was that of Agnes Fidi. The first marriage of young people from what is now this congregation was that of Aloys Bauer and Teda Roessler,

Sept. 3, 1877; the second was that of Andrias Bauer and Johanna Bauer, Nov. 22, 1879. The church is a beautiful structure of brick veneer with a seating capacity of some 300. There are three artistic altars and a marble communion rail, and the tower has sweet-toned bells which call the faithful to service. Church, parsonage and school each have their own furnace.

The Sacred Heart School, connected with the Holy Rosary Parish, is one of the leading educational institutions of the county, accommodating from forty to fifty boarding pupils and the same number of day pupils. The school covers the usual graded studies, together with religious instruc- tion and music, the teachers being the devout sisters of St. Francis, whose mother house is at La Crosse. The building is of brick, is modern through- out, and has cost some $18,000. It was erected in 1915 through the enthusiastic work of the pastor, Rev. Martin Caspar, assisted by the mem- bers of the parish, led by Matthias Brunner and Frank Faast. Here amid beautiful surroundings the coming generation is taught its duty to God and man, and more fully prepared by education and training to perform that duty. The equipment is of the best, and suited in every way to its purpose. In the basement on the west side are found the large fire-proof furnace room, water works, toilets for boys and girls, wash rooms and pro- vision room. On the east side are the large dining room for the boarding students, a small dining room for the Sisters, and the usual rooms for kitchen, pantry and the like. On the first floor at the left is an artistic little chapel, a gem in its way, with vestry room on one side and library room on the other, and two well-equipped class rooms. On the right are the sleeping and living rooms of the Sisters, with the waiting room and music room, as well as two students' bedrooms. On the second floor, on the west, are two large dormitories, intercepted by toilets and a small bedroom. On the east side are two suitable recreation rooms with two small bedrooms.

WAUBEEK TOWNSHIP

Waubeek Township is a small township on the banks of the Chippewa, with Dunn County on the north, Durand Township on the east and south, and Waterville Township on the west and south. Nine Mile Slough and Nine Mile Island are characteristic physical features. The western part is crossed by the Eau Galle River.

The first settler was Truman Curtis, who came in 1849.

ALBANY TOWNSHIP

Albany Township embraces one whole government township, and is the extreme eastern township of Pepin County. It has the unusual situation of bordering on three counties, Dunn County being on the north, Eau Claire County on the east and Buffalo County on the south. On the west is Lima Township. The township is watered by Rock and Dutch creeks, and by several small tributaries of the Buffalo River.

Among the first settlers were Cornelius Silvernail, Emerson Crandall, Jerry Crandall and Joseph Hakes, all of whom came in 1855. Philip Mel- rose was born in Scotland, and arrived in the town of Albany in 1859. John Melrose, his brother, came one year later, and they both lived here continuously until their death, Philip dying in 1903. Mike Olbert settled . on the south side of the town in German Valley in 1856, and lived there until the beginning of the Civil War, in which he served three years. He returned to his farm at the close of the war, cleared up a large farm, and lived there prosperous and contented until his death.

CHAPTER XXII

BUFFALO COUNTY WAR WORK

Buffalo county, like the other counties of the state and nation, did its share in the great World War.

That the work of the state in this respect may not be forgotten, the Governor has appointed in each county a war records commission. The work of this commission in Buffalo county is not yet completed, as the facts concerning the service of the men who went from this county are not yet available.

Some of the work, however, has already been completed. The Buffalo County War History Committee consists of C. W. Dodge (chairman), Mon- dovi; Alma Bridgman (secretary), Mondovi; Theodore Beuhler and Mrs. T. S. Saby, city of Alma; John Accola, town of Alma ; Judge Martin Fugina, Fountain City ; J. D. Tiffany, town of Canton; Ole Wick, town of Mondovi; Carl Cook, town of Dover; James Allison, town of Maxville; Rev. Traul- man, town of Montana; Nic. Weinandy, town of Belvidere; F. A. Risser, town of Buffalo; William Shaub, town of Lincoln; Belva Rohrer, village of Cochrane; Harlan Seyforth, town of Naples; Harry Hallock, town of Nelson.

The Council of Defense maintained a most admirable organization throughout the war. It was made up as follows: Chairman, Edwin F. Ganz; secretary, Theodore Beuhler, Jr .; treasurer, T. S. Saby; executive committee, S. G. Gilman (chairman), Nic. Weinandy, E. F. Ganz, G. M. Rohrer and Theodore Buehler.

Committee chairmen: Agriculture, James Dillon; labor, Charles A. Kirchner; manufacturers, C. J. Sund ; general business, Gottlieb M. Rohrer ; transportation, Martin L. Fugina; banking, D. A. Whelan; press, Walter L. Houser; patriotic organizations, Edmund Giebel; women's work, Mrs. M. C. Fisher ; physicians, Dr. J. S. Tenney ; education, H. J. Niehaus; child welfare, Mrs. Jessie Dillon; at-large, Andrew Robinson, Michael Hogan, G. W. Davie, James Allison and Nic. Weinandy.

The Buffalo County Exemption Board was made up as follows: Chair- man, John Miller (the sheriff is chairman by law; Albert Anderson was chairman during the war); secretary, John Meili; E. F. Ganz, Otto Oehsner, Fred J. Bohri, P. B. Amundson and J. U. Luetscher.

Valentine Thoeny served as federal food administrator, the local food administrators being Lawrence Tritsch and L. A. Merritt. The county fuel administrator was A. L. O'Mera, while the local administrators were J. A. Ganz and Charles A. Kirchner.

Following is a list of the men inducted into military service of the United States, together with their home address, the date of induction and the camp to which sent:
