Mr. Joseph Harris was chosen as the first county clerk, and register of deeds of Door county, procuring the books of Rec- ord and getting both of those offices in running order. He filled the office of county treasurer six years, and in 1864 and '5 represented the counties of Door, Oconto, Shawano and Outagamie in the State Senate. He considers that his crowning work was in organizing the Sturgeon Bay & Lake Michigan Ship canal and Harbor Company. He framed the charter for that Company when he was in the State Senate in 1864. In '66 he went to Washington and procured from Congress a grant of 200,000 acres of the public land to aid in building the canal, which, with subsequent appropriations of money from Con- gress to build the Harbor of Refuge, secured the final success of the enterprise. To his unremitting labor of near twenty years, Door county and the State of Wisconsin are indebted for the most important work of public improvement within its borders-a work, the value of which to the commerce of Green Bay and Lake Michigan, can scarcely be over estimated.

In the forepart of this chapter, we spoke of Mr. P. Rowley as being the first white settler on the banks af Sturgeon Bay, but that in the year 1840 he left this locality, and since that date we could find no record of him. Hon. John M. Reed, of Kewaunee, who, it seems is "following" our history, copies our remarks about Mr. Rowley, and in his paper, the Kewaunee Enterprise, cemments as follows:


"Peter Rowley lived somewhere in the vicinity of Two Creeks or Sandy Bay at the time the war broke out. We believe the locality was called Rowley's Bay in early times. He had been a soldier, a drummer boy, in the war of 1812, and we remember of hearing him speak of being stationed at Sackett's Harbor. When the war of the Re- bellion broke out in 1861 the old man's patriotic impulses would not al- low him to remain quietly at home, and he enlisted as drummer in the 'Manitowoc and Kewaunee Union Rifles,' afterward Co. E. 14th Wis. Infantry. His hand had lost none of its cunning, and during the time the company was organizing and drilling at Manitowoc, he marched at its head, making first-class martial music with Fifer Matt Perry. When the company came to be mustered into the United States service, however, the mustering officer would not receive him on account of his age-he was then between 60 and 70-and he reluc- tantly delivered his drum into younger hands and turned his face home- ward. The old man passed from earth a number of years ago. May the grass above his grave be ever green."

HISTORY OF DOOR COUNTY.


FORESTVILLE-THIRD ORGANIZED TOWN.


At the December meeting of the County Board, 1857, Forest- ville was set off as a town, embracing the territory now in- cluded in that town and Clay Banks. All the rest of the county, except Washington Island, being included in the town of Otumba (Sturgeon Bay). Forestville was organized the next April (1858), by a town meeting held at the house of Marcus McCormick.


The early settlers of Forestville made their way to that vicinity by navigating the Ahnapee River, which stream runs through a portion of that town. The Ahnapee is still navi- gated to considerable extent up as far as Van Norstrand's saw mill, town of Forestville. J. Fetzer & Co. own, and keep busy a light-draught steamer and two barges, which freight forest products down the river. Public highways, kept in excellent traveling condition, to and from Green Bay, Ahnapee, and all parts of the county run through the town of Forestville. Probably no other town in the county, supported entirely by the products of the soil, has so many good houses, barns, etc.


The following is a short biographical sketch of settlers now residing in Forestville, who have been in the county ten or more years.
