CHAPTER XXIX.

TOWN OF EASTMAN.

That portion of Crawford county known as the town of Eastman is bounded on the north by the towns of Seneca and Haney; on the east by the towns of Marietta and Wauzeka; on the south by the towns of Wauzeka and Praire du Chien, and on the west by the Mississippi river (or, more correctly speaking, the State of Jowa). It was organized in the spring of 1855. and was named in honor of Hon. Ben C. East- man, a member of Congress from this distriet.

The territory embraces a part of four con- gressional townships-fractional sections of township 8, range 7 west; thirty-one whole sec- tions, and five fractional sections of town 8, range 6, west; thirty-five whole sections of town 8, range 5, west, and three whole sections, together with seven parts of sections of town 8 range 4 west.

The general surface of the town is quite rough, having a ridge called the divide, be- tween the Mississippi and Kickapoo rivers, with a few ridges extending east and west, toward the above named rivers.

The soil on these ridges, is a clay sub-soil, based on lime rock. The soil in the valleys, on either side of the divide is a "washed soil," which produces large crops of corn oats, rye. barley and vegetables of all kinds. While the soil on the ridges contains more clay, and at an early day was not considered good corn pro- SETTLEMENT. ducing soil, it has of later years, proven itself well adapted to this, even elaimed by some to be superior to bottom lands, on account of floods and frosts. An abundance of wild fruit grows | 25, in town 8, of range 5 west.

along the beautiful streamlets, which course through the town.

The town is well watered on the west by the the Mississippi river and its branches the De Sioux and Picadee creeks. The former (that is the De Sioux), takes its rise on section 14, in town 8, of range 6, west, and unites with the Mississippi; the latter (the Picadee) has its source on section 28, in town 8, of range 6 west, passing west through sections 29, 30 and 31.

In the eastern portion of the town, there are four streams, namely: Plin creek, which heads on section 29. town 8, range 5, passing through sections 28, 27, 34 and 35, leaving the town from the north-east corner of the latter section. Otter creek takes its risc on section 9, in town 8, of range 5 west, passes through sections 10 and 11, entering Pine creek on the latter named sections, thence through section 12, of town 8, range 5, and section 18, town 8, range 4, uniting with the Kickapoo river. Pine creek enters the town on section 3, town 8, range 5, passes through sections 2 and 11, town 8 range 5, there forming a junction with Otter creek; thence to the Kickapoo, as before described. Citron creek enters the town on section 6, town 8, range 4, and passes diagonally from 'north-west to south-east, through the section, uniting with the Kickapoo river, on section 8, town 8 range 4.

The first steps toward the development of this town were made by John H. Folsom, in 1839. He located on the north half of section Heis a man of

In 1842 Conzac Boueha and Lonis Boueha made settlement in the town. The same season eame Lewis Buscher, F. Duchurm and Daniel Amber. During 1843, among the number who came in were: Fred Niekerson, who claimed land on section 31, town &, range 5; John Miller settled on seetion I, in town 8, of range 5 west, and Jacob Lemmon came the same time, settling on section 18 in town 8 of range 5 west ; Ira B. Stevens, and Henry Chandler eame the same year, or early in the spring of 1844: In 1844 Phi- lander Green and Louis Caya eame in and commenced improving.

From the earliest settlement of the town, the Roman Catholics have, from time to time held services. The earliest record shows that a priest came from La Crosse and established a mission, about 1847. In 1884, the Catholic ele- ment within the town had grown very strong, outnumbering all other sects A commodions church edifice was erected that year, near the village of Batavia (Eastman).

In 1854 the Methodist Episcopal denomina- tion organized a class at the school house in district No. 2; and services have always been maintained here, sometimes by a large and sometimes by a very small class. The earliest ministers in charge of this station were Elders Brunson and Springer.

The German Methodists formed a church about 1870, and in 1874, built a neat frame chapel, on section 20. They also have a bury- ing ground in connection.

GOOD TEMPLARS' LODGE.

means of great good throughout this neighbor- hood.

CEMETERY.

Eastman cemetery was laid out in 1859, by Robert Wisdom and L. A. Bonney, on section 6, town 8, range 6. John Wisdom, the first per- son interred in this cemetery, was a son of Robert and Margaret Wisdom.

THE MILL.

No community is complete without its grist mill; it matters not whether its machinery be turned by steam power, by the swift flowing, narrow stream which gushes from out the mountains side, giving motion to the old over- shot wheel, so idolized by poets from time im- memorial, or whether it be situated on the banks of some meandering deep stream worthy of the name river. Hence it is not out of place in this connection to speak of Winegar's flour- ing mill, which was erected in 1859, on section 28, town 8, range 5. This mill was carried down stream by a flood, June 14, 1868, and was rebuilt in 1870. Its size is 40x40 feet, two and a half stories in height, and is propelled by the waters of Plum creek. The cost of this mill, which has two run of stone, was about $4,000. It has a capacity of seventy-five bushels per . day. In 1884 it was still being operated by its original builder, Henry Winegar, of Prairie du Chien.

HAMLET OF EASTMAN.

This is not large enough to be called a village, but more properly comes under the head of hamlet. It is situated on section 18, in town 8, of range 5 west, and contained, in 1884, two general stores, a hotel, a saloon; also a wagon and blacksmith shop and a postoffice. The place was originally started by Israel Mallory, in 1862, when he opened a store and kept an inn. In 1883 IFurlbut & Beach platted ten acres, upon which the place stands.

HISTORY OF CRAWFORD COUNTY.

James Fisher, one of the pioneer settlers of Crawford county, was born in Crawford Co., Penn., Feb. 5, 1816. He grew to manhood in his native county receiving a common school education and learning the carpenter and join- er's trade. In 1836 he came, with Elder Bron- son's family, to Crawford Co., Wis., settling at Prairie du Chien. Ile worked at his trade some years. At the time that they came here the county extended from St. Paul on the north, to the Wisconsin river on the south, and there was no settlement outside of Prairie du Chien, in what is now Crawford county, to Lake Supe- rior. In 1844 Mr. Fisher was elected to the territorial Legislature, which position he held until 1846, when he was elected sheriff of Crawford county. In 1849 he was elected to the State Senate, holding the offiec one term. In 1854 Mr. Fisher purchased 240 acres of land on section 6, town 8, range 5 west, Eastman town. He now owns 157 acres of the same land, which he has in a good state of cultivation, and on which he resides. In 1859 he was again elected sheriff of the county, and in 1861 to the Legi: - lature, which office he held until 1866. He has been chairman of the town board for four years. and of the county board three years, was clerk of the court two years, town treasurer one year, and assessor of the town two years. While sheriff the first time Mr. Fisher traversed the county on foot from Prairie du Chien on the south, to St. Paul on the north and Lake Supe rior on the east, swimming the streams when necessary, and sleeping out in the woods at night. He was a member of the" ex- pedition that went up the Mississippi, in 1842, to arrest the Indian that killed sheriff Lester. Before starting many of the men had taken a little of the Indian's "fire water," and were a little the worse off for it. They were all well armed and would shoot at every Indian they saw on the banks. The Indians reported the fact to the fort and regulars were sent out to quell the disturbanee. On their return the expedi- tion stopped at a French trading post, and after

getting their supper, drank whisky, got the trader drunk, and disarming him, tied him to the bed. They then drank and ate everything up that they could get. The next morning they set their prisoner free, and offered to pay him fifty cents each for damages, but he would only agree to take fifty cents for it all. Mr. Fisher married in 1861, Margaret Gordon. She died in 1871, leaving four children-Jim, Kate, Mar- garet and Mand.

Samuel Ilazen, a son of the late Aaron Hazen, was born Aug. 16, 1830, in the State of New York, near Rochester, and when but seven years of age his parents moved to Oakland Co., Mich., where his father engaged in farming until 1841, when he removed to Crawford Co , Wis., it then being on the frontier of the northwest. His father immediately came to the town of East- man, and entered 320 acres in section 36, town 8, range 6 west, and at the time of his death, 1860, had increased his farm to 560 acres. San- nel Ilazen now owns 200 acres. 120 acres in section 36, town 8, range 6 west; forty acres in section 25, town 8, range 6 west, and forty acres in section 30, town 8, range 5 west. Sam- nel Hazen was united in marriage, October 1853, to Elizabeth Evans. Mr. and Mrs. Hazen have ten children-Thompson, Sarah, William and Samuel, (twins), Richard, John, George, Eliza- beth, Mary E. and Phobe. Sarah is the wife of James Kanan; Thompson married Amelia Ostrander, and Plæbe became the wife of E. Cherrier. Mr. Hazen has been quite prominent in the affairs of his town having been a member of the side board for four or five years.
