ing), 35X56, with a lofty spire. The corner-stone was laid October 3. A brick parsonage close by the church had been erected in 1845. The cost of church and parsonage was $11,000.
The Congregational Church. This society was organized as the first Presbyterian Church of Potosi, December 20, 1840, by Rev. Sol- omon Chaffee. Dr. Gallagher preached occasionally in 1840-41. He wrote to his friends in the East that he was preaching in a theater in a place called Snake Hollow; boarding with a Universalist, and his horse was stabled in a ten-pin alley. The first resident minister was Rev. W. E. Boardman, who came in July, 1842, and left in 1844. Rev. Calvin Walker came in October, 1844, and staid two years. Rev. H. Freeman followed him, remaining two years. Rev. Edward Morris

came in October, 1850, and staid six years, and was followed by Rev. E. M. Lewis, previously a Baptist preacher, who remained five years. Rev. Nicholas Mayne, a convert from the M. E. Church, preached from 1861 to 1871. Rev. James F. Mitchell preached from September, 1872, to August, 1874, when he was succeeded by Rev. D. W. Gilmore in 1875, for four and a half years and Rev. John Willan for two years, Rev. E. M. Corey for four years, and these were followed by Rev. W. A. Griffith and Rev. Aaron Breeze, who came in 1896 and still remains.
The church was formally changed from Presbyterian to Congre- gational, February 29, 1876.

Webb, secretary; Geo. H. Lewis treasurer; T. B. Ennor, trustee one year ; W. H. Hunt, trustee two years; W. R. Wise, trustee three years ; H. Swale, J. A. Sea- ton, nozzlemen; T. H. Runkel, J. Champion, W. Wunderlin, captains.
The Potosi Brewery .- This institution employs more men and brings more money into the place than any other one business institu- tion. It is situated near the site of old Van Buren, about three-fourths of a mile from the railroad station. It is a two-story stone building, which cost $10,000. It was built in 1855 by Gabriel Hail, and oper- ated by him until his death and afterward by his heirs. Adam Schu- macher is now the proprietor, and carries on the business.
Potosi Flour Mill .- This was established in 1879 by Chris Peacock and G. Y. Bownas. It had four runs of stones and a forty horse-power engine, and cost $5,000. With the decline of wheat culture in the county the operation of the mill was discontinued. On the night of May 5, 1895, the building, which was then in use as a furniture warehouse, was destroyed by fire.
Potosi has a large creamery, established in 1894, owned by W. H. Hunt.
Among the early settlers of Potosi Major John R. Coons was prominent. He was born in Kentucky and in 1808, while a boy he came to St. Louis, which was then a small French village. In 1827 he came as a clerk to Gratiot's Grove in Lafayette County. He took part in the Black Hawk War. In 1836 he came to Potosi, or rather Lafayette. Here he put up the first frame store building in the place, shipping the material from Cincinnati by river. This pioneer building is, or was a few years ago, a stable on the farm of Nicholas Bonn. His prosperous career as a merchant in Lafayette was cut short by the panic of 1837, when a house in Galena with which he was con-

nected, failed, dragging him down with it. He never recovered from the disaster, but financial disaster could not obscure his good quali- ties, and he lived and died in Potosi with the esteem of all its inhab- itants.
DUTCH HOLLOW.
This is a settlement, mostly of Germans, as its name indicates, a mile or so east of Potosi village.
In 1836 Henry Kreizer and Godfrey Kreizer settled there, Henry being a butcher and furnishing beef to the miners. The old Kreizer cabin still stands and is occupied by Godfrey's grandson. Opposite this across the ravine was the cabin of Peter Ott, partly a dug-out. It was used as a "grocery " and dance-hall. Another early settler was Bernard Markus, a noted musician. Peter Zens, Markus's brother-in- law, was another early settler, both living to a great age. David Gillilan was another old settler who came in 1842.
In 1845 a Catholic Society was organized in the Hollow by Father Andrew Tusch. In 1846 the society built a brick church which they occupied for thirty years. Rev. Nicholas Thiele came as pastor in 1851. In 1876 the building of a large brick church was begun, and it was dedicated in 1877. It is a magnificent church, worthy of a city of considerable size, and it cost $25,000. It.is 48X110 with a spire 135 feet high.
BRITISH HOLLOW.
Terrence Coyle was the first settler, having built a cabin and oc- cupied it with his family before the spring of 1832. When the county was organized the Hollow was put in a precinct distinct from Potosi and named Pleasant Valley (see map on page 135). George Ballan- tine, afterward a prominent citizen of Patch Grove, was a miner there in 1840. William Webb came there in 1842 and lived there until his death in 1889, aged 76. W. H. Hunt came there in 1844 and kept a store many years, and then removed to Potosi. He died in Colorado in 1887. William Vance opened a hotel there in 1841. John S. Sumner came there in 1843. Thomas Davies came there in 1844 and still lives there. At one time there were several stores in the place and much business was transacted, but it has suffered even more decline than Potosi, and now it has only one store, kept by P. J. Blindert, succes- sor of Ivey & Webb, in the post-office as well as the store. There are three saloons in the place.

HISTORY OF GRANT COUNTY
About 1850 a brewery was started in British Hollow by Joseph Udelhoven. In 1858 he sold it to William Mohrenberg, who after- ward associated Samuel Stephens with him in the business. It did not pay and was discontinued about fifteen years ago.
It is of frequent occurrence in a declining town that buildings no longer profitably used are insured and then there is a mysterious fire. It speaks well for the honesty of the citizens of Potosi, British Hollow, and Rockville that their houses no longer in demand by a declining population have not thus disappeared from the scene. The most se- rious fire on record in British occurred February 11, 1876, when the saloons of Joseph Pugh and James Thomas and a vacant building were burned.
The settlement has a Methodist Episcopal church, a frame building 25X30, built in 1859 at a cost of $600. It is in the Georgetown cir- cuit and is supplied by the ministers of that place.
The settlement has done well in educational matters. In 1868 the citizens built a stone school-house 27X36 at a cost of $1,200. A wing 21X31 was built in 1875 at a cost of $1,200, for the use of a primary department. This school has always stood high in efficiency. It is at present conducted by Prof. Frank Cenfield and Miss Matie Seaton.
ROCKVILLE.
This little village is three and a half miles from Potosi on the Lan- caster road. The first settler was A. W. Emery in 1832, Samuel Druen in 1832 or 1833, D. C. Phillips, the discoverer of the " Phillips Range," in 1844; Joel Stephens, Birch, and Chester in 1845; Thomas Carthew, Edward Ivey, Andrew Jackson, Hudson Smith, James Jack- son, the Allisons, Bradley, and some others in 1847. It was at one time a lively mining town, but it is now a quiet hamlet with one store, three saloons, and ten or twelve dwellings. The original English settlers in the vicinity have been largely replaced by Germans. The post-office is kept by Thomas Carthew, successor to John Carthew in the store as well as the office. The place has a frame school-house 26 by 36, two stories, intended for two departments, built in 1872. Only one department is now carried on. Miss Lizzie Marcue is the teacher.
The M. E. church was built in 1845 and belonged in the George- town circuit. Services were long ago discontinued and the little church stands open and dilapidated by the roadside.

POTOSI.
In 1850 a Presbyterian church society was organized composed of both Americans, English and Germans, but in a few years the Ameri- cans and English withdrew and joined the church at Potosi, while the Germans organized a new society. It has a small brick church build. ing which cost $1,000. The following pastors have resided here : Revs. John Buelly, J. Liesfeldt, J. Burk, A. C. Starck, W. R. Mundhencke. It is now supplied with ministers resident at Platteville. The trustees are Henry Kuester, Chris. Vespermann, and Jacob Kundart.
St. Andrew's Catholic Benevolent Society was organized February 28, 1875, with the following officers: Wm. Mechler, president ; Anton Zeller, vice president; Theo. Mikesch, secretary; John P. Friesen, treasurer; W. Schmitz, marshal; C. Simon, assistant marshal.
Rockville Lodge, No. 356, I. O. G. T., was organized February 22, 1881, with twenty charter members and the following officers: J. C. Emery, W. C. T .; Ellen Carthew, W. V. T .; Mary A. Kitto, W. C .; T. H. Carthew, W. S .; Julia Carnow, W. A. S .; Maggie L. Phillips, W. F. S .; Abbie Dawson. W. T .; John Druen, W. M. It was discontinued some fifteen years ago, and there are now no secret societies in the place.

HAZEL GREEN ..
Origin and Growth-Town Officers-Village Officers-The Great Cy- clone-Minor Tragedies-Schools-Churches-Secret Societies-Biographical Notes.
ORIGIN AND GROWTH.
This is the first place in Grant County which was occupied by the miners who swarmed out from the Galena settlement. John Bonner was the first miner in the place of whom there is any record. He was sent out by Moses Meeker, a wealthy smelter of Galena. In one pub- lished statement Meeker says it was in the year 1824, and in another 1825. The latter appears the more probable date. Bonner discovered an old Indian mine, and on the second day took out a large quantity of mineral-Meeker said 17,000 pounds.
In the spring of 1826 Major Adney, who had been an officer in the regular army, came in and built a cabin. With him was his daughter Mary, the first white female in the present Grant County, and also William Billings. He soon discovered the famous "Adney Lead." The same spring came James Groshong, Henry W. Hodges, Thomas Shan- ley, Eli Perkins, and Kidge Williams. A trio of partners-John Ewin, Steven Thrasher, and Mcknight-came in that spring and built a cabin in which the three lived. A Frenchman, who had a Menominee squaw for a wife, came in and built a cabin. Christian Eversoll and his family came this year. Mrs. Eversoll was probably the first white woman in the new settlement. She was a true pioneer's wife. She had come with her husband to the Hudson Bay settlements, and thence to Pembina. Concluding to get into the United States, they came to the head of the Minnesota River and thence in a flat-boat to St. Louis-a voyage of great hardship and peril. The next summer Eversoll put up a log house-the first, and for some time the only one in the settlement. The other cabins were made of rough stones, sods, sticks and clay, and some of them were dug-outs. As the logs had to be hauled a great distance, the building cost a good deal of labor.

HAZEL GREEN.
Most of the comers of 1826 returned south in the fall and came back to the settlement the next spring.
The settlement was for several years called Hardscrabble. More than one story as to the origin of the name has been told. According to one story, it originated in a fight between two miners, Moses Meeker and James Hardy, about a mine which each claimed, Hardy winning the fight, which was called "the Hardy Scrape," whence "Hardscrabble." This is improbable. Moses Meeker was a wealthy physician, as well as a smelter, living in Galena and sending out em- ployees to attend to his mines, and not likely to get into a fist-fight. Then, " scrabble" is not a corruption of "scrape," but of "scramble," and was used by the Missourians very much as the term "rustle" or "hustle" is now used. Another story is that one of the miners of 1826 struck mineral at the head of the ravine east of the Magor resi- dence, and went south for the winter. Another miner "jumped " the claim early the next spring and with what help he could get, worked out the lode before the discoverer come back, having "hard scrab- bling " to do so.
Among the comers in the spring of 1827 were Louis Curtis and his son Horace. The latter lived to be one of the last old settlers of the place, dying April 22, 1895, at the age of 92. The same year the Wolcott and Townsend families and a man named Floyd came in. Dr. William Davidson came and mined a while at Hardscrabble in 1828. In 1830 Capt. Charles McCoy came in and remained there till his death in 1861.
In the spring of 1832 the Curtises began farming on Section 13, planting corn, wheat, and oats. The Black Hawk War breaking out, their horses were taken away and they did their plowing with oxen. This spring came Jefferson Crawford, who became the leading citizen of the place, and William E. Dudley, who lived there till his death March 17, 1887.
Another prominent comer in 1832 was Gen. George W. Jones, who settled near Sinsinawa Mound. Two other men, Lowell and Maxey, who had settled near the Mound, were killed by the Sacs in 1832. During this war Captain .McCoy raised a company and built a fort, which consisted of a wall of sod built around the house of Christian Eversoll. Most of the settlers fled to Galena. A man named East- man with three sons, Solomon, Andrew, and John, had settled two miles north of Hazel Green in 1827, and all four went into a fort near

Elk Grove, Lafayette County, and remained there during the war. After the war Jehiel and Oliver Rice opened a farm between Hardscrab- ble and the Mound; P. P. Patterson opened a farm on Section 14, and a man named Stone another one just north of the State line.
After the year 1832 there appears to have been very little immigra- tion for several years. There were several new comers in 1837, among them John Edwards, Hiram Wetherbee, W. B. Slaughter, and John Catlin; the last two opened farms. J. M. Chandler, who became a prominent business man, came this year.
In 1838 a post-office was established in the settlement, and named Hazel Green, the name being selected by Captain McCoy. Jefferson Crawford was the first postmaster. John Gribble came in 1839. Otis B. Peck put in a saloon or "light-house," in 1838, and shortly after- ward Preston & Chandler put up a frame building on the present site of the Crawford Block, which was occupied as a saloon and bowling alley. It is still standing as a part of the Empire House. Allen Pres- ton, one of the proprietors, built a frame house near the saloon, and R. R. Young built a frame story-and-a-half house on the site of the Empire House, for a hotel. It still forms a part of the Empire House. T. G. Stephens, afterward a business man of the place, came in 1841; Benjamin and Richard Straw in 1840; William Simms, Philip Shilliam, and James Glasson, a farmer, in 1842.
In 1843 the population was less than two hundred. There was no store-it was too near Galena-no church, no school-house, no doctors, and no lawyers; it is presumed that the Galena lawyers at- tended to the business of disputed mining titles. In 1843 a plat for a village was surveyed by Samuel Wiltse and filed May 6. It contained only four blocks with twenty-eight lots. Soon after that Ezra Dor- man and Orville B. Cottle each put in a store. William Brubaker car- ried on a blacksmith shop. H. D. York was a prominent arrival this year. There were several prominent arrivals in 1844, among them. Lewis Rood, James A. Jones, Dr. Bridden, (the first physician), George Babcock, Jonathan Chamberlain, Alden Adams, Rand, Peter Brown, Frank Brown, and Robert Frazer, the inventor of Frazer's axle-grease. The last two put up a building on Main Street (since occupied by H. D. York), and opened a store. A large number of Cornish miners ar- rived this year, and their descendants form no inconsiderable part of the present population. A small frame school-house was built on East Main Street, which stood there till the cyclone of 1876 destroyed it,

Although no very great lodes were struck, a goodly quantity of min- eral was taken out, money became plentiful, and the "light-houses" flourished. Joseph Harris came in and opened a farm this year.
In 1845 the Empire House was built. Louis Rood laid out "Rood's Addition " at the north end of town and built two houses there, which were recently standing. In this year the Richards Brothers built the stone house which was destroyed in the cyclone of 1876.
In 1846 the Catholic and Presbyterian churches were begun, and John Edwards built the first brick house as a residence. Daniel Brew- ster came in, opened a store and built a residence. Rev. Robert Lang- ley also built a dwelling. William Warner came in as superintendent of a mining company and built the residence afterward occupied by Dr. J. L. Jenckes. The Wisconsin House opposite the Empire House, was built this year. It afterward became the residence of Jefferson Crawford. Henry C. Wiltse laid out a new town this yearcalled Lewis- burg, on the Curtis farm a mile north of Hazel Green, but it failed to ma- terialize and was never anything but a paper town. By the census of 184 ) the population of the precinct was 1,050.
In 1847 the old stone building which was afterward known as the Masonic Temple, was built for a store building by John Edwards. It was destroyed by the cyclone of 1876.
Among those who came from 1845 to 1850 and became permanent settlers were Edward Rogers, J. F. Eastman, and John Faherty, who came in 1845; Jacob Hunsaker, and S .- Lightcap in 1847; John Williams, James Wills, R. D. Roberts, John Kohl, Mr. Atkinson, and W. H. Teasdale, in 1848; Thomas C. Andrews, George Broderick, Joseph Clementson, and Wm. Roberts. in 1850.
The Mexican war drew away a larger proportion of the young men of Hazel Green than of any other town in the county. Their names will be found in another part of this work. The exodus to California drew off many of the most enterprising citizens of the place and gave it a great backset. Among those who went were Thomas Edwards, Bennett Andrew, James Blight, Joseph Harris, Joseph and James Johns, James Wills, J. L. Williams, Peter Skinner and James Glasson. Many of them afterward returned with considerable capital and helped to develop the resources of the town. Along in the fifties the agricultural resources of the fine prairie of the township began to be well developed, and the village depended more on the trade of the 35

farmers than that of the miners. Further account of the mines of Hazel Green has been given in Part III.
The abandonment of the work by the Hazel Green Mining Company in 1856 and the panic of 1857 gave the village a backset. The Galena Narrow Gauge Railway gave it the "go-by," and it has become a very quiet but moderately prosperous agricultural village, having in 1895 a population of 448, while in 1870 it had 723.
The town of Hazel Green is one of the original towns created in 1849. It is six miles square, being Town 1, Range 1, in the extreme southeastern part of the county. The population has been as follows: 1850, 1,840; 1855, 2,181; 1860. 2,443; 1865, 2,686; 1870, 2,161; 1875, 2,121: 1880, 1,821; 1885, 1,764; 1890, 1,549; 1895, 1,453; the decrease since 1865 being very marked.
