lin. For some time it did a good business, but the Blake's Prairie farmers almost entirely gave up the culture of wheat, and the business of the mill declined. It was rented to Fred Clauer, who ran it as a custom and feed mill.
DISASTERS, SUICIDES, ETC.
Patch Grove has been spared from many serious scourges-flood, fire, and pestilence-of considerable proportions. In 1854, the last cholera year in Grant County, this scourge entered Patch Grove and on the first of August J. W. Clemmons and his wife and son-in-law, J. C. Gordon, died of it, but the disease did not assume an epidemic form in the village.
In June 1895, George Key, a resident of the town, committed sui- cide by cutting his throat. On March 25, 1895, his daughter Alice committed suicide by hanging herself with a rope. She was supposed to be to some extent insane.
In 1844 there was an exciting occurrence in the quiet neighbor- hood. John Thompson, mentioned on page 612, was in one sense one of the first citizens of Patch Grove, but he was a "hard " citizen for all that. He burned the old log jail at Lancaster in 1843, when escap- ing after a short stay in it. He was accused of burning the barn of Hiram Brunson, the grain stacks of Moses Hicklin, and some other property, and the neighbors concluded he had lived long enough, any- way, and appointed a bee to hang him. People came from far and near to see the lynching, but they were disappointed. William Hum- phrey persuaded the committee to spare their victim for the time, and Thompson soon saved them any further trouble by getting drowned in Bridgeport slough while intoxicated.
SCHOOLS.
The first school in Patch Grove was taught by Miss Almira Brun- son in 1838, in a log house built by Henry Patch. It was a subscrip- tion school with about fifteen pupils. The first "free" school was taught by Mrs. Roxina Blunt in her house two miles southwest of the present village. The first building built for a school-house was a log house with a sod chimney, a short distance northeast of the present village. Among the teachers in this building were, in the order of their respective reigns, Minerva Warner, sister of Jared Warner, Miss Nancy Durley, of Platteville, and Miss Danley, of Prairie du Chien. In 1844 a school-house was erected on the southeast corner of Section

33. In 1848 this house was moved into the village and served many years as a temple of learning.
Patch Grove Academy .- This institution was founded in 1861, with the following trustees: Alex. Paul, William Humphrey, Jared Warner, Thomas Nagle, G. Forshay, Henry Patch, John Woffenden and S. S. Bradley. A fine two-story brick building was erected and the school started under fair auspices. The academy at Tafton had just begun its decline, and it was soon eclipsed by the luster of its younger rival in the older town. Prof. W. B. Clark, A. M., was em- 'ployed as principal, and Mrs. E. J. M. Newcomb as assistant, with Miss Nettie Newcomb as teacher of music. In the spring of 1867 Prof. Clark left the academy and engaged in business in Bloomington. . The days of academies were numbered and the public high schools were taking their place; so the Patch Grove Academy was transformed into a high school. Another building was built near the principal one to contain the primary department. The schools at present are under the principalship of Evans Nye.
CHURCHES.
Methodist Episcopal Church .- Patch Grove has been the head- quarters of a circuit since early in the fifties, and has had the following resident ministers, with others whose names are not remembered or recorded: Albert McWright, C. P. Hackney, R. Wood, Z. S. Hurd, J. D. Brothers, D. L. Hubbard, J. P. Greer, W. Cook, J. Sims, Joseph Jefferson, Leroy Ellis, W. E. Doughty, H. J Witherbee, Frank Bell, Henry Stewart, W. H. Emerson.
St. John's Catholic Church .- This is a small frame building a mile and a half east of the village. Before the building of the church at Bloomington it was the place of worship of all the Catholics of the northern part of Blake's Prairie, and was attended by the priest at Mt. Hope.
TOWN ORGANIZATION AND OFFICERS.
The town of Patch Grove was organized in 1849. It had an ex- tensive territory, as will be seen by consulting the map on page 139. The first town meeting was held in the old school-house. Besides the town officers noted on the roster the following road overseers were elected: George Pike, C. P. Smith, E. P. Finn, Thomas Nagle, William Whitesides and Hiram DeLap. The extent of the town rendered three polling-places necessary, one in the village of Patch Grove, one in the

village of Millville, and one at the Red School-house, down on Blake's Prairie.
Since the town assumed its present dimensions its population has been: in 1860, 867; in 1865, 807; in 1870, 829; in 1875, 855; in 1880. 826; in 1885, 743; in 1890, 690; in 1895, 662. . The population of the village in 1870 was 177, and in 1885, the same.

WYALUSING, EARLY SETTLEMENT.
About 1843 E. P. Finn, James M. Otis, and L. O. Shrader, bought eighty acres of land and laid out a town just above the present vil- lage. Mr. Finn had quite an experience in beginning towns. He was the first settler on the sites of the villages of Bloomington and Patch Grove, and laid out the latter town, and was interested in the town of New Cincinnati on the Mississippi, a few miles below Wyalusing. It was at first proposed to call it Wyoming, but Mr. Finn wanted something original, and the happy inspiration of Wyalusing as a name prevailed. There was a solitary abandoned cabin on the new town site, built by some unknown hands, when the town-makers came. The proprietors donated a lot to Isaiah Cranston, on condi- tion that he put up a building and occupy it as a hotel, which he did. He remained a prominent citizen of the place until his death, February 5, 1866. The village did not grow, and the site was sold to N. W. Kendall, from Lancaster, who built a saw-mill near the place. In company with Charles Blandford and Robert Glenn, he platted a vil- lage site a little below the old one, recording the plat, which was filed July 30, 1856. John Otis opened a store in the place and the town company built a stone warehouse. With its fine landing and the saw- mill, the village seemed to have good prospects; but not long after the new plat was filed the railroad was completed to Prairie du Chien, a bridge was built in 1857 across the Wisconsin River with its southern terminus in Section 14 in the town of Wyalusing, and a shipping point established at Bridgeport on the railroad at the northern end of the bridge, much more accessible than Wyalusing village to most of the people who, except for the railroad, would have made Wyalu- sing a shipping and trading point. Thus the bright prospects of the village faded. In 1863 the village had a season of activity. Batie &

Cooper put in a new store, a cooper shop was established, and some other business started.
In the town of Wyalusing, on Sandy Creek, a saw-mill was built in 1846, known as Bushnell's or Whipple's Mill. Marshall Key came from Lancaster at a later date and built Key's Mill on Section 13.
PAPER TOWNS.
At an early day two pretentious paper towns were laid out within what are the present limits of Wyalusing. One was at the mouth of the Wisconsin River and was called Mendota. It was laid out and owned by Henry Hubbard, of New Hampshire, and the plat filed June 9, 1837. The plan looked grand on paper with steamboats lying at the landing on both the Wisconsin and the Mississippi, but in fact steamers could not land at that point on either river and the place was unfit for a building site. The scheme was probably intended to catch Eastern "suckers." If any of them took the bait they did not think enough of their purchases to have the deeds recorded. Another such town was Brooklyn, laid off and owned by Winthrop W. Gilman and others March 14, 1837. It was located near the southern end of the slough bridge which forms the approach to the Bridgeport bridge. The place was made. a post-office in 1838, but there is no record show- ing that any lots were ever sold.
TOWN ORGANIZATION AND OFFICERS.
The town of Wyalusing was organized in 1854. Since that date its population has been : in 1855; 411, in 1860, 601; in 1865, 632; in 1870, 800; in 1875, 734; in 1880, 719; in 1885, 743; in 1890, 786; in 1895, 903. In territory it consists of Sections 1 to 13, inclusive, in Town 5, and Sections 13 to 36, inclusive, in Town 6, Range 6, and some fractions of sections in Range 7, along the Mississippi. It is largely made up of the bluffs which skirt the Mississippi and the sev- eral creeks which drain the town. Since its organization the town has had the following town officers :
