BIOGRAPHICAL.

The early pioneers and prominent citizens of the town of Bloom, deserving of mention, are as follows:

. Jobe M. Hurless, one of the pioneers of Bloom, was born in Pendleton Co., Va., May 15, 1831. Ilis mother died when he was but six months old. Ile remained in Virginia until 1833, in which year his father removed to Clin- ton Co., Ind., where he died in 1842. Our sub- ject then went to Carroll county, and lived with Dr. Courier some years, and from thence to Howard county, same state, where he was mar- ried March 5, 1853, to Cyntha Trobough, a res- ident of Carroll county, but a native of Greene Co., Tenn., born June 20, 1856. Mr. Hurless then engaged in farming and on Sept. 17, 1854, departed for Wisconsin, and arrived in Richland county, town of Bloom Oct. 5, 1854. He there entered 160 acres of land on section 5, and was forced to cut his road through the woods three miles to get in with a team, and had to haul his provisions from Orion, a distance of thirty miles. He has since increased his land to 620 acres, of which 200 acres are under cultivation.

Mr. Hurless on his arrival in the town of Bloom possessed only $300, but by hard labor and successful speculations has acquired a con- petenee. Mr. and Mrs. Harless have seven chil- dren-Martha M., John M , Henry M., Ivan M.," Hattie A., Zettie and Orrin O. Martha was married in 1870 to T. P. Burt, and John M. was married in 1880 to Emma Stumbaugh. Martha has five children-Adie, Lulu, Etta, Elsie and Ivan M. John has three children- Odas HI. and a pair of twins-Allen C and Bes- sie M. Mr. Hurless has also an interest in a general merchandise store in West Lima, but devotes the greater portion of his attention to stock raising.

James A. Sellers, one of the early settlers of Richland county, was born June 22, 1817, in Perry Co., Ohio, where his early life was spent, obtaining his education in the common schools. In 1844, he was married to Caroline Melick. They are the parents of nine children-Jonas M., Mary I., John W., William A., Naomi A., Lucy E., Emma A. and Bessie, Mrs. Sellars died April 7, 1882. Jonas is now married to Nora Downs; Mary is the wife of J. D. All- baugh; J. W. is married to Mary J. Cushman, and Lucy E. to Marion Allbaugh. In 1855, Mr. Sellars moved from Knox Co., Ohio, to Green Co., Wis., wintering there in 1856 and 1857. In 1859, he came to Richland Center, and in Au- gust to the place where he now resides, town of Bloom, and entered 120 acres of land on sec- tions 26 and 27, which he has reduced to ninety- two acres. He also owns a house, lot and grist mill in the village of Spring Valley. Mr. Sel- lers has been a deacon in the Methodist Episco- pal Church since 1869.

W. R. Peckham, one of the leading farmers of Richland county, is a native of Jefferson Co., Ohio, where he was born in 1841, and there lived until 1855 when he moved to Richland Co., Wis., with his parents. They entered 160 acres of land on section 34, town of Bloom. Mr. Peckham now lives on section 23, where he owns 200 acres, is engaged in farming and buy-

ing stock for the market. He was married Oct. 26, 1865, to Catharine Allbaugh, who was born in Carroll Co., Ohio, April 20, 1847, where she resided until 1861, when she came to Rich- land county, town of Bloom, with her parents. They now have four children-John A. Logan, Milo E, Marian S. and Bertha M. Mr. Peck- ham was a member of the 25th Wisconsin Vol- unteer Infantry, and was honorably discharged in June, 1865. He was assessor of the town one year. His father, William Peckham, was born in Jefferson Co., Ohio, in 1804, and died in the town of Bloom in 1881. His mother, Matilda, was born in 1809, also in Jefferson Co., Ohio, and died in the town of Bloom in 1883. Mr. Peckham has the respect and confidence of his fellow-men and may be classed among the best citizens of the county. He has always adhered to the principles of the republican party and is a pronounced member of that or- ganization Mr. and Mrs. Peckham are both members of the Methodist Episcopal Church.

Joseph Ilerbert was born in the town of Mar- shall, Richland Co., Wis., Dec. 25, 1855, and since his birth, has been a resident of the county, excepting three years spent in Vernon county. He is now engaged in general black- smithing and the manufacture of wagons in the village of Spring Valley, and is the pro- prietor of the only hotel in that place. He was married in 1876 to Mary E. Stewart, who was born in Black River Falls, Jackson Co., Wis., in 1857. They have three children-Rena M., Mertie C. and Milton M. llis father, Peter, was born in 1801, in Canada ; emigrated to the United States in 1845, settled at Fort Clinton, Ohio, and in 1854 came to Richland county and located in the town of Marshall, early in the settlement of that territory. His mother, Elista, was also a native of Canada, born in 1803, and died in Viola, Richland county, in 1881.

John J. Jewell, one of the most prominent business men and farmers of the town of Bloom, was born in Carroll Co., Ohio, in 1828, where

his youth was spent, and he received such edu- cation as he was able to obtain in the district schools of his native county. In 1855 he moved to Vernon Co., Wis., settled in the town of Union, remained six months, then moved to the town of Bloom, Richland county, where he pur- chased 800 acres of land, which he has since reduced to 500, located on section 1, where he now resides, and is engaged in farming, mer- chandising, loaning money and buying and sell- ing stock to a large extent in Richland and Vernon counties. He was married in 1854 to Catharine Borland, who was born in the State of Pennsylvania, in 1830. They have seven children-David W., R. R., Enoch, William K., Ezra, John J. and Mary E. William K. is now married to Sarah E. McBain and Mary E. to Lemon T. Smith. When Mr. Jewell came to this country, it was a wilderness ; and pluck and energy were necessary elements for success. Remote from mill and market, without roads or easy methods of transportation, with little food and poor shelter, settlement in those days meant for a while almost hermitage, and all honor is due such men and women as Mr. and Mrs. Jewell, who by sacrifice' and effort assisted in putting in motion a series of events, which have made possible the development of so goodly a land. Sometimes it would seem a place has thus been purchased at a cost beyond estimation, but they have lived to enjoy a home honestly gained, a competence fairly won, and are among the best class of Richland county citizens. Mr. Jewell has business qualifications beyond most men, which, combined with econo- my, energy and good judgment, have enabled him to outstrip others in the accumulation of wealth, until now he is in possession of a suffi- ciency for every enjoyment during his declin- ing years.

Charles A. Neefe, a native of Germany, was born Jan. 1, 1834, and emigrated to the United States with his parents at the age of two years. They first settled in St. Louis Co., Mo., where they remained eight or nine years, then removed

987

to the lead mines of Grant Co., Wis., remain- ing until 1846, when he came to Richland county and settled in the town of Orion. Mr. Neefe has been a resident of the county ever since. He now owns 110 acres of land and a saw-mill, and is now doing a thriving business. Hle was married in 1857 to Nancy M. See, who was born Jan. 7, 1836, in New York city, and came to Richland county in 1855. Mr. and Mrs. Neefe are the parents of five children- Maria, Christina, Emma, Frank and Frederick. Maria is now the wife of Ellot Jones; and Christina, of Hughey Clark. Mr. Neefe en- listed in 1861 in the 6th Wisconsin Battery, and was discharged in 1864. While in the service he was injured by the premature discharge of a gun, of which he was first gunner. In 1859 he went on a gold hunting expedition to Pike's Peak, and was successful only in getting finan- cially ruined. Ile, in company with three others, returned to Omaha, Neb., on foot. There, one of his comrades sold his gun for enough money to procure them passage to St. Joseph, Mo. At that point Mr. Neefe took a twenty-dollar piece, which he had saved, and paid their fare to Prairie du Chien, Wis., and having nothing to pay for food, he sawed wood for the cook of the boat, and so paid his own and his companions' board. On arriving at Prairie du Chien he tried to sell his gun to get his sick comrade home, but could get only $3 and a glass of beer for it. He accepted the offer, however, sent his comrade home and re- turned to his home himself, arriving in Rich- land county a poorer but wiser man. He has never left the county since without money enough to bring him home. Mr. Neefe was formerly a democrat; since the war, however, he has been a republican, but is not so bound to party but that he can and does vote for the best man.

Mahlon Stewart, one of the pioneer settlers of the town of Bloom, was born Oct. 16, 1827, in Pittsburg, Penn. In 1827 his parents moved to Galley Co., Ohio, where he resided until

In August, 1852, Mr. Stewart was married to Ruth Clark, who was born Oct. 16, .1830, in Jefferson Co., Ohio. Mr. and Mrs. Stewart have eight children-Rachel J., Wil- liam, Mary E., James, Edward, Martha, John and Emmett. Rachel is now married to James Zimberlee, William to Emma Davis, Mary E. to Joseph Herbert, James to Ella Bailey, and Ed- ward to Addie Barnhart.

TOWN OF BUENA VISTA.

This town forms the southeastern corner of Richland county and embraces portions of three congressional townships. Three whole and six fractional sections comprising this town, lie in township 8 north, of range 2 east ; three whole, one-half and one fractional section of township 9, range 1 east; and twenty-four whole and six half seetions of township 9, range 2 east. The town of Buena Vista is bounded on the north by the town of Ithaca ; on the east by Sauk county ; on the south by the Wisconsin river ; and on the west by the town of Orion. The south and southwestern portions of the town, including in fact nearly one-fourth of the area, is made up of a level prairie. The soil is sandy and moderately productive. It is well adapted to growing Indian eorn and sorghum. The soil being warm and light, melons grow in abundance here; and the production of water melons, particularly, has occupied a great deal of the farmers' attention for a number of years. The first in the lown to raise and ship melons upon an extensive scale was Ezekiel Elliott. lle began in 1863 and followed the business for a number of years, shipping from $1,000 to 81,500 worth annually and one year the ship- ments amounted to $2,000. In 1872 J. W. Ful- ler engaged in the business and for four years his melon revenue was $400 annually. He still devotes a good deal of his attention to the cul- tivation of melons. Others who are now rais- ing and shipping this product are: Harvey Lay- ton, John Smith, Isaac Fan and Aaron Lee.

The valley of the P'ine river, in the western part of the town, is very fertile and contains

many fine farms. The northern part of the town is hilly but well adapted to grazing. The greater part of the eastern portion of the town is included in Bear creek valley, which, with its tributary, the Little Bear creek valley, forms one of the finest farming regions in the State.

The principal streams that traverse the town are Pine river and Bear creek. The former rises in Vernon county. It enters the town of Buena Vista by way of section 7, town 9, range 2 east, and flowing nearly due south, makes confluence with the Wisconsin river on section 31. Pine river is the most important stream that flows through Richland county. In this to 'n its average width is seventy feet. Bear creek rises in Sauk county. It enters the town of Buena Vista from Ithaca, by way of section 11, town 9, range 2 east, and flows nearly south to the center of section 35, thence southwesterly to enter the Wisconsin river on section 4, town 8. One of its tributarios, Little Bear creek, en- ters the town on section 24, from Sauk county, and flows west to join Bear creek on section 23 ..
