George F. Bigelow built a grist mill in 1857, on HIall's Branch, about two miles from the Kickapoo river. This mill was a failure, owing to the lack of a sufficient "head;" also, by reason of the dam being hard to keep in repair. But little was ever done in the way of grinding; the

mill building was still standing, in 1884, as a land mark of early days.

A saw-mill was built by Horace Langdon, in 1873, on Crow Hollow creek, on section 10. Ile run it about two years, when the machinery was taken out, and the mill abandoned. In the fall of 1881, George W. Wood, on whose land it was situated, put in new machinery and made general repairs and the following February started the mill again, with an abundant supply of water power. Several portable steam saw- mills have been operated throughout the forests of the town, at various times, but are no longer in use.

VILLAGE OF BELL CENTRE.

Bell Centre is so called from Dennis Bell, and the fact that its site was centrally located within the town, on section 3. The site of the village is on land entered by Silas Anderson about 1852. Anderson sold to Dennis Bell, in 1854. lle engaged C. D. Bellville a surveyor, to lay out the village plat, and gave him a third in- terest for his services. Dennis Bell sold a part of the site to his brother, Elias Bell, so that the proprietors of the plat were Dennis and Elias Bell, and C. D. Bellville. The plat was made by C. D. Bellville in August, 1855.

Elias Bell and Merritt Thompson hrad erected a frame store building, 16x20 feet, and opened a small general store, in June, previous to the survey of lots ; this was the first building erected on the plat. The first building after the platting was done, was a shanty erected for a dwelling house for the time being. George W. Wood built it. C. D. Bellville built a cheap house, at about the same time. Late in the fall of 1855, Bellville erected a small frame dwell- ing, which, in 1884, formed a part of the resi- dence of J. N. Kast. Mr. Wood also built a frame building that fall, into which he moved his family, and the following spring opened a store in the same building; therefore, he was the second merchant in the village.

The first blacksmith at Bell Centre was Jona- than O. Parker, who erected his forge and

placed his anvil several years after the platting of the place. Ile also did wagon work, He is spoken of by the pioneers as a skilled work- man.

In the fall of 1855 William Raymond pur- chased the interest Elias Bell had in the village site, and in the spring Dennis Bell became sole owner of the plat. He operated the store a short time and then sold to Raymond, who continued a few months longer, when the busi- ness, store and goods were purchased by George W. Wood, who was succeeded by William Ray- mond, in 1861. Two years later, Raymond erected a better store building across the street in the town of Clayton; and with Aaron Cook as partner, he continued in trade till 1871, when they dissolved, Raymond continuing a year longer. In 1884 he was in the banking business in Hampton, Iowa.

Isaiah Rounds succeeded Raymond in busi- ness, and operated the store till his death, when the business was closed out.

The plat of the village extends to the town line of Clayton. At first it contained ten acres; a small addition was made, on the west side, in 1856, by Elias Bell, and another on the south. Several business houses were erected, also resi- dences, across the street in the town of Clayton.

In 1884 the merchants on the village plat, were Lewis Bros. The business was first estab- lished by 11. 11. Lewis, in 1873, and has been conducted by various members of the family. The village plat, in 1884, contained the follow- ing business concerns: Lewis Bros., groceries, drugs, provisions, etc .; Arthur Stowell, black- smith ; Jack Richards, blacksmith ; Nathan Kelley, wagon maker ; J. N. Kast, attorney ; Fred Lewis, postmaster ; James Russell, hotel

On the Clayton side of the village there were at this time, keeping a store, and carrying a gen- eral line of goods W. W. Tate & Co.

The first hotel 'in the place was kept by George W. Wood, in 1861, in the hotel build- ing owned by William S. Waite, which was

616

erected by Mr. Wood, in 1857, for a dwelling house.

The postoffice at Bell Centre was established early in 1856, and C. D. Bellville was the first to serve as postmaster. He was succeeded in a few months by George W. Wood, who kept the office till June, 1861, and was succeeded by Wil- liam Raymond, who was followed by Isaiah Rounds; Mr. Woods was again postmaster from Dec. 1, 1870, till June, 1873, when he was sue- ceeded by William S. Waite, who, in turn, was followed by R. E. Glover. H. H. Lewis was the next postmaster ; he was followed by Fred Lewis, who is still (1884) in office.

CHAPTER XXXII.

TOWN OF MARIETTA.

Marietta is located in the southeastern corner of the county. It is bounded on the north by the towns of Scott and Haney ; on the east, by Richland county; on the south by Grant county and the town of Wauzeka ; and on the west, by the towns of Wanzeka and Eastman. It comprises all of town 8, of range 3 west, north of the Wisconsin river, and all of town 8, of range 4 west, except section 31 ; also a part of section 6, in town 7, of range 3 west, and a part of section 1, in town 7, of range 4 west, to- gether with a few acres of sections 24 and 25, in town 8, range 5 west.

The Kickapoo river forms the western bound- ary of the town until it reaches section 31 of town 8, range 4, where it enters the town of Wauzeka. The course of the Kickapoo makes sections 3, 8, 9, 10, 17, 18, 19 and 30, fractional, and the course of the Wisconsin river makes sections 13, 14, 22, 28 and 32, of town 8, range 3 west, on the southeastern border of the town, fractional. Also section 6, in town 7, of range 3 west, and section 1, in town 7, of range 4 west. The town, not unlike most of Crawford county, is very broken, having high ridges with narrow valleys between. In the east and southern part of the town, these valleys run toward the Wisconsin river, and those on the west toward the Kickapoo river.

At an early day the ridge lands were well- timbered with white, red and black oak, hard and soft maple, basswood and some black wal- nut and butternut timber. The heads of the valleys were covered with a scrubby timber, with many wild plum and thornapple trees,

while farther down in these valleys a heavy growth of good timber was found. The manu- facture of lumber from these forests, furnished about the only means of employment among the early settlers.

The soil, is a heavy clay mixture, on the ridge land, while the valleys contain more loam. Both ridges and valleys produce good crops of small grain, grass and corn, together with the fruits and vegetables common to this latitude.

The main dividing ridge between the Wis- consin and Kickapoo rivers, is traversed by the leading thoroughfare of the town, running from Wauzeka village. It gains the summit of the ridge on section 28, town 8, range 4, crosses sec- tion 28, 21, 22, 14 and 13, then enters town 8 of range 3 west, crosses section 18 into 7, and passes northwest through section 12, in town 8, of range 4 west, and through sec- tion 1, between the town lines of the towns of Marietta and Haney. The State road between Boscobel and Viroqna runs from the Wisconsin river, on section 22, passing through sections 15, 9 and 4, to the town line of Scott into Richland creek, then follows up the valley.

EARLY SETTLEMENT.

Robert Boyd made the first settlement in the town of Marietta, in 1844, at what was later known as Boydstown.

William and Jonathan Wayne effected the next actual settlement ; the former coming in 1846 and the latter in 1847. Jonathan settled on section 35, town 8, range 4. A few years later he, with Mike Woodard, platted George-

Among the settlers of 1850 were Lewis Wayne and Ed Rogers. Mr. Wayne settled on section 15, town 8, range 4, where he died in 1869. Mr. Rogers was a millwright by trade ; he located on section 9, town 8, range 3. He died in 1858.

Guy S. Thompson, George W. Cup and O. E. Wise came in 1851. Thompson located on sec- tion 9, town 8, range 3 west. He was the first town treasurer, and held that office for five years, from 1855 to 1860. He came from Ohio to this county ; he was a prominent man ; he ran a tavern for a few years and finally re- moved to the town of Scott, where he died. Mr. Cup settled on the Jonathan Wayne farm, where he remained till his death, which occur- red in 1880. Mr. Wise remained in the town till after the civil war, then moved to Colorado, where he died in 1880.

John T. Ferrel came the same year, 1851, and located on section 9, town 8, range 3, and re- mained a resident of the town till after the civil war. In 1884 he was living in New Mexico. He operated a ferry on the Wiscon- sin river at a point near where the Boscobel bridge now stands, for about two years, until he got into litigation with Mike Woodard, who ran another ferry line at that point; they "lawed" until Mr. Ferrel lost nearly all he had and then sold out in disgust, to Hiram Comstock, who ran the ferry till the completion of the bridge.

In 1852 Alonzo Ward came in and settled on section 18, town 8, range 4, where he still lived

in 1884. But little, if any, increase was given to the settlement in 1853; but the year follow- ing quite a number came in, among whom were the following : Stephen Gardner, who located on section 20, town 8, range 4 west ; James Posey, on section 10, town 8, range 4 west ; S. S. Ferrel and his sons, John F. and James M., all of whom settled on sections 8 and 9, town 8, range 3 west. Samuel Wannemaker came in at the same time, and settled on section 2, town 8, range 3 west. He died in the Union army.

The following settled during 1855 : Peter Campbell, on section 17, town 8, range 3 west ; . Chancey H. Steele, on section 2, town 8, range 3 west; Isaac C. Jones, on section 2, in town 8, range 3 west ; John Cummings, on section 10, town 8, range 3 west ; Thomas Ward, on the same section as Cummings ; J. Cain, on the same section, also; L. Parce, on section 4, town 8, range 3 west; he died in the army ; Warren Cheaver, on section 11, town 8, range 3 west ; Thomas Shields, on seetion 11, town 8, range 3 west; Charles E. Wannemaker, on section 2, town 8, range 3 west. The latter now (1884) lives in Colorado; John T. Farris settled in the town in 1856, on section 9, town 8, range 4 west, where (1884) he still resides.

From this date on, the settlement increased rapidly.
