CHAPTER XXXVII.

TOWN OF MONROE.

The town of Monroe embraces congressional township 2 north, range 7 east, of the fourth prin- cipal meridian, except that portion which is in- cluded within the incorporated limits of the city of Monroe, which lies in the southeastern part of this town. The surface of this town is, in places, quite broken, yet it is all an excellent agricultural and stock raising region. The soil here is variable. That in the east and south is a rich, dark loam, while in the northwest there are some ridges with a clay soil.

The principal farm products grown in this town during the year 1882, were as follows: 1,731 bushels wheat; 79,568 bushels corn; 40,- 577 bushels oats; 160 bushels barley; 2,242 bush- els rye; 5,550 bushels potatoes; 1,510 bushels root crops; 1,780 bushels apples; 44 bushels clover seed; 24 bushels timothy seed; 2,919 tons hay; 46,900 pounds butter; 172,250 pounds cheese.

The acreage of the principal farm products growing in the town, at the time of making the annual assessment, in 1883, was as follows: 146} acres wheat; 2,572 acres corn; 1,450 acres oats; 103 acres rye; 70} acres potatoes; 55} acres ap- ple orchard; 2,865 bearing trees; 1 acre tobacco; 2,723 acres grass; 1,907 acres growing timber.

The live stock in the town, in 1883, was as- sessed as follows: 600 horses, average value, $70.90, total, $42,542; 2,575 head of cattle, aver- age value $23.62, total $59,829; 8 mules, average value $100, total $800; 844 sheep, average value $2.31, total $1,951; 1,695 swine, average value $6.62, total $11,237; 734 milch cows, valned at $19,108.

The land in this town was assessed at $15.50 per acre. The total value of real estate $424,560; total value of real and personal property, $649,- 835.

The first move toward settlement, in what is now the town of Monroe, was made in 1830.

John B. Skinner came here that year, for the purpose of mining. He erected a log cabin and smelting furnace just north of the south line of the northeast quarter of section 10. There were others here at the same time, in his employ. It seems that they all left about the time of the Black Hawk War. In the spring of 1834, Nich- olas Cornelius visited the place and found four vacant log cabins, and a log building for a smelt- ing furnace. One of these cabins was on a rise of ground, and there were port holes in every side of it, showing that they were prepared to defend themselves in case of attack. In 1835, operations were again begun here by Nicholas Cornelius, Hiram Rust, Richard Palmer and Joab Enos. Mr. Palmer had a wife and three children. The other men were single, and boarded with him. Mr. Enos left in the fall of 1835, while the others remained until the fall of 1836. They sold their ore to William S. Ham- ilton, a son of Alexander Hamilton, of National fame. Ile had a smelting furnace at Wiota.

In the spring of 1835 Hiram Rust and Leon- ard Ross claimed the east half of section 35, built a log cabin and did some breaking. Mr. Rust was there but a short time, when he went to the mines as before stated. Mr. Ross stopped and held the claim until that fall, when he went to Wiota and engaged in smelting ore. He sold

the claim to the Wilcox Bros., who entered the land but never settled on it.

In the winter of 1835-6, Hiram Rust entered the southwest quarter of section 27, and also the southwest quarter of section 28. He em- ployed some one to do the first breaking on his land, while he was engaged in mining. He af- terward married and settled on section 27, and made his home there until the time of his death. He was a native of Litchfield Co., Conn. He was a man much respected by all, and was one of the first justices of the peace of the town. For a number of years he was superintendent of the county poor.

George Reeder, a native of Ohio, came in 1836, and entered land on section 25. He im- proved a farm and lived thereon some years, when he returned to Ohio.

N. Cornelius came in 1836, and is a native of Illinois, born in St. Clair county nine miles east of St. Louis. He was reared upon a farm, and remained upon the same until he came to Wis- consin. His parents were Joseph and Mary (Rutter) Cornelius, both of whom are now dead and buried in St. Clair Co., Ill. The former was of Scotch descent and the latter of German parentage. In 1834 he left his native county and went to Galena, thence to this county. Dur- ing that summer he broke land at Brewster's Ferry. During that time he passed over the land where the city of Monroe now stands, which then was without an inhabitant or any- thing except the wild prairie. He also visited "Skinner's Diggings" and the following winter worked in the new diggings. The pioneers of that day had many and varied experiences, and accomplished, under the existing circumstances, what would now seem impossibilities. In break- ing prairie, it is a necessity to have a plow in good condition, and it must be frequently sharp- ened, and for that purpose, Mr. Cornelius had to go sixteen miles and carry the iron part of an old breaking plow on his back, wading the Pecatonica. Not many people at the present time would break prairie under such circum-

stances. Not only such inconveniences were the lot of people at that time, but actual danger often threatened them. Indians were, at times, abundant, and liable at any time to take the war path, and spread destruction and desola- tion among the settlers. On one occasion, Mr. Cornelius was down near the Pecatonica, and saw large numbers of squaws and papooses go- ing down the river. This was not considered an occurrence at all favorable to the settlers, for frequently such a move was made when fighting was contemplated, and this knowledge had a tendency to put the people on their guard. Mr. Cornelius and Mr. Plummer slept, "with one eye open," on the banks with ax and butcher knife under their heads, ready, at a moment's warning, to give up their lives if they must, only after a struggle. They slept in that man- ner about ten nights, when one night Plummer looking about said, "I hear them coming." Mr. Cornelius was on his feet in a moment, but in the excitement Plummer could not find his pants, which caused him some trouble. The Indians were singing and dancing and it was sup- posed they were coming, and the two quickly gathered up a couple of quilts and concealed themselves in the brush, where they remained an hour and a half, when, becoming chilled, they took refuge in an old cabin and remained until day-break, then returning to their cabin they found everything all right. In the spring of 1835, Mr. Cornelius came to Green county again and mined at Skinner's Diggings until the fall of 1836, during which time he had taken out considerable mineral. He went to White Oak Springs in the fall of 1836 and thence to Blne river, where he mined until the fall of 1837 with good success. He then came again to Green, county and entered 220 acres of land on section 33, township 2 north, of range 7 east, in the present town of Monroe, within a short distance of the place where he now lives. In 1840, having traded off a part of his land, he secured a deed for eighty acres on section 34 which he has owned since that time. During
