At the present time, there is a commodious schoolhouse, which has two departments, erected several years ago at an aggregate expense of $1,200. The inhabitants have also been ambitious enough to purchase a fine bell, an unusual addition to an ordinary schoolhouse.
The only exceptional manufacturing ever attempted here was by D. M. Jones, who about twelve years ago erected the steam grist and saw mill, which has lain idle since his death.
After John Barnard came here, in 1858, the post office was moved from Old Arena to New Arena, and he was appointed Postmaster. He did not hold the office long before F. T. S. Ans- dale was appointed in his place. He kept the office in his store during the time he held it. . From him it was transferred to William Everett, who still kept the office in Ansdale's store. About 1865, by circulating a petition as being a Republican, E. R. Bovce obtained the office. Mr. Bovee was then railroad agent, and kept the office in the depot. In 1868, the incumbent, W. H. Jones, was appointed, and has retained the office constantly since that time.
During the war, the inhabitants of Arena were unusually active in sending assistance to the cause of the North, and after the three months' service was ended, two of the soldiers of that time, George Ashmore and William H. Brisbane, enlisted Company G, of the Eleventh Wis- consin Volunteers, at this point. While the enlistment was going on, the men were boarded at the old Farmers' Hotel, which was then managed by Jared Adams, who is still living in the vil- lage, one of the pioneers of Iowa County, who came to Mineral Point in 1837. In February of 1869, the village was devastated by a very serious conflagration. The fire started in a small building on Lot 1, occupied by John Wilkinson, a tailor, and thence it spread to the tavern of Patrick Smith to the east of it, and another building to the west of it, owned by N. Hodgson, both of which were destroyed. For a time the destruction of the business part of the village seemed almost inevitable, but after a time it was subdued with no other loss than above men- tioned.
There are now three churches in the village-a Congregationalist, a German Methodist and an Advent Church.
The Congregational Society was organized in 1855, and the church was erected principally through the efforts of David M. Jones, in 1864, and is the oldest church in the place. "The present membership is one hundred and twenty-five, and the church is in a healthy state.

HISTORY OF IOWA COUNTY.
The German Methodist Church was built about nine years ago, under the management of the Primitive Methodist Society, organized in 1871, by the Germans and Americans, to be used by both nationalities. Subsequently, that society became disorganized, and the edifice passed into the hands of the Germans, who use it now exclusively.
The Adventist Society was organized in 1872, by Elder G. P. Thompson, as Pastor, with sixty-two members. The church was built within the two following years. This society is in a flourishing condition.
Occasion is taken here to commend to future generations the devout and self-sacrificing labors of the Rev. D. M. Jones, who was Pastor here for fifteen years, and did more for the cause of Christ and toward the upbuilding of churches than any other three ministers who have ever been stationed in the county.
There are two secret societies in the place-a lodge of Good Templars, which has been in active operation for several years, and a juvenile cold water temple, which is also in a thriving condition.
The great hail-storm which visited the town of Arena, in 1877, punished the village pretty severely, by breaking out a large number of window lights all over the place, and by doing other damage of a serious character. But aside from the few occurrences mentioned, Arena has suffered little injury since it began its existence, from fire or other causes, which certainly is a matter for congratulation ; and at the present time it is in a healthy and thriving condition.
The business of the place is now represented by three general stores, Smith & Murphy, Z. Barnard and William Jones ; two drug and general merchandise, Edwards & Hughes and William H. Jones ; one hardware store, D. J. Davis, ; one furniture store, J. D. Hildebrand ; two harness-shops, W. C. Meffert and Patrick Smith ; three shoe-shops, Thomas Hamilton, Thomas Knipe and L. D. Billington ; one watchmaker, Charles Reeve ; one tailor, Hugh Cork ; three blacksmiths, Benoy & Caspar, Billington & Son, and Shinnaman & Rothenberger; ono wagon-shop, Williams & Edwards; one milliner, Mrs. M. A. Reeves; two lumber yards, S. J. Jooske and D. H. Williams; three hotels and saloons-Farmer's Hotel, Andrew McCut- chen; Commercial Hotel and Saloon, Patrick Smith; Wisconsin House and Saloon, Lewis Enoc.
There is also a firm of stock and grain buyers, W. J. Roberts, R. Lloyd and J. Harris, that are doing a very extensive business. Their average shipments are one car load per diem the year round. This firm now uses three warehouses, but at one time there were five in use here.
The physicians are Dr. Wilcox and D. L. Pinkerton. William Brisbane, Jr., lawyer, and H. B. Parker, depot agent.
HELENA STATION.
This station of the C., M. & St. P. R. R., is located near the Wisconsin River, Section 16, Township 8, Range 4, Town of Arena. It was founded in 1861, by William Bartlett, who circulated a subscription among the surrounding farmers, and raised an amount which proved sufficient inducement to the railroad company to establish a station at this point. Here Mr. Bartlett erected a depot, and was the first to offer proposals for the patronage of the public. Josiah Ward came here soon after, and commenced purchasing grain. He was followed, in 1863, by John Barnard, who erected a warehouse. Mr. Barnard is recognized by the historian in his researches as one of the pioneer business men of the villages of Highland, Old Arena, New Arena, and also at the embryo village of Hayworth.
In 1862, Alvah Culver moved his large hotel up from "old town," and is recorded as the first tavern-keeper at the Station. This subsequently passed into the hands of William Bart- lett, who has since removed to Iowa. The hotel building was taken down, placed on flat cars, and removed to the future home of Mr. Bartlett in Iowa. At the founding of the Station, William Burdell located here and followed his trade as a mechanic.
In 1872, the Helena Hotel was built by John R. Mabbett, and is recognized by the public as being one of the best hotels located along the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railroad.

At the laying out of the village the post office was removed from the " old town," and es- tablished here, with William Bartlett as first Postmaster. The office is still continued, the fol- lowing persons having served as Postmasters : G. R. Nicke, T. J. Hungerford and A. J. Lock- man the incumbent.
The present schoolhouse was built in 1867, and will accommodate fifty scholars.
Religious services were held here occasionally by ministers from different points in the vicinity from the very first.
This village is now on the high road to success, and gives promise of a bright future. It is estimated that $75,000 is paid out here during the winter season for stock and grain alone, which is ample evidence of a large trade as well as sales.
The business interests of Helena are now represented in general merchandise, by W. M. Austin and A. J. Lockman ; Helena Hotel, J. R. Mabbett; boot and shoe maker, Charles Villi- mant; blacksmiths, James Evanson, A. McKinzie ; wagon and carriage maker, Henry Mabbett ; stock and grain buyers, W. A. McKinzie, P. King, Sr.

In June 20, 1853, a special election was held in the town of Arena, for and against a prop- osition to raise money to aid the railroad. There were 49 votes cast, of which 29 were against the proposition, and 20 in favor of the proposition.

TOWN OF CLYDE.
This town organization was effected in 1849. The first town meeting was held at the house of Ephraim Norton, on the 3d day of April, 1849. William See was chosen Moderator, and the following officers were elected : William See, Chairman ; Lucius Mears and F. Frost, Supervisors ; George W. See, Treasurer ; Hiram Heath, Assessor ; Ephriam Norton, Clerk and Justice of the Peace; Hiram Heath, Constable ; Charles D. Smith, Superintendent of Schools. At this meeting, it was voted to raise, by taxation, one-half of one per cent on assessed values for school purposes, and $30 for contingent expenses. The ensuing annual town meeting was to be held at the same place. In November following, at the election for County Judge, there were but eleven votes polled.
For information concerning precinct, see general history.
Comparatively speaking, this town is of modern development, its first permanent settlers having located within its limits nearly twenty years after the first settlement of the county. While in the majority of the towns of the county the mines were being operated, the forests being felled, and the incipient farms of the husbandmen being cultivated with energy, Clyde was reposing in peace and almost total solitude undisturbed by woodman's ax or cow boy's whistle.
But eventually, during the year 1845, the inevitable pioneer in search of fortune and a quiet and pleasant home, the blessings of which he desired to win for the support of old age, strayed into the territory now embraced by the town lines, and located a small farm, thus paving the way for those who followed in his footprints that have since, by their various efforts, rendered this one of the leading agricultural as well as stock-growing districts in the county.
To the Irish belongs the honor of having made the first permanent settlement in the town. John Burns with his wife and family, left the State of Michigan and emigrated to Wisconsin in the spring of 1845, and located on Section 15. Here he built a small log cabin and cultivated a few acres of ground, which small beginning has culminated in a large and valuable farm. He was followed by Michael Murphy, who located a small farm in the vicinity of Burns' claim, and continued improving and adding thereto until the original tract has been developed into a well- tilled and attractive farm. The winter of this year, which is remembered by the pioneers of the county as having set in early, and as having been one of unusual severity, debarred others from locating here this season ; for rather than brave the inclement weather and inconveniences of a frontier settlement during a cold winter, many were content to stay in a more pleasant if not warmer locality.
Anthony Bonert, a native of Germany found his way to the future Clyde in the spring of 1846, he being the first of the thrifty and intelligent class of Germans now inhabiting this town.
There came during the years 1847 and 1848, Judge Butterfield, B. S. Butterfield, Nat Butterfield, David Bigelow, James Kinzie, Ephriam Norton, Dr. Aaron Frost, Nelson Frost, Benjamin Frost, James Dunbar and Smith Burris, the Carroll family and William See. Nearly
791
HISTORY OF IOWA COUNTY.
all of these are remembered as having been men of ability and enterprise of such a character as to give the town an impetus on the road of improvement, that has very materially aided in plac- ing it in its present advanced position. Their claims were located in different parts of the town, some along Otter Creek and others near the Wisconsin River. The few succeeding years set- tlers did not come in so rapidly.
In 1846, George Lee made his appearance, also William Ward and Reuben Cameron. Among the arrivals in 1850 and 1851 were Michael and James Melody, John Enos, the old Indian who lived and died on Section 21, John Doherty, Mr. Hoover and sons John, Thomas and William, Thomas Gorman and Asa and Darius Knight. There probably were others who came here during the years mentioned, but many of them remained only a few years, somc returning whence they came, while others have been lost amid the varying scenes of this event- ful existence, and are now known only in connection with the past.
The advent of the years 1852 and 1853 brought to the town, A. C. Thurber, Stephen Gile, Asa Gile, Patrick Flynn, Samuel Reams, Ransom Miller and sons George and James, Michael Flynn, Barney Donnely, and Asel and Reuben Razey. About this time, agriculture became developed to quite an extent, the size and number of the farms were being increased from year to year and a corresponding amount of produce was being raised. This state of affairs attracted numerous settlers, so that during the year 1853 and 1854 the population increased rapidly. Prominent among the number who came about this time were, Frank Martell, Michael Mears, Arnold Hoxey, Patrick, Thomas and Cornelius Sheldon, Dennis Shannon, Barney Eagan, Arnold Clarke and Joseph Limmix.
A post office was established in Clyde at an early day as soon after the settlement of the town as the increase of the population required. Ephriam Norton was appointed first Postmas- ter, and kept the office at his dwelling on Section 26. He was succceded by James Kenzie. Eventually this office was discontinued. In 1875, another was established, and Abel Thurber appointed Postmaster. On January 10, 1880, Mr. Thurber transmitted the office paraphernalia to Washington, and resigned his position as Postmaster, thus ending this one. The entire re- ceipts of the office were but $4 per year, which was not one-fourth enough to compensate him for the labor required to manage it.
The cause of education has not been disregarded in this town, but has been fostered to a com- mendable degree. The first school in town was taught by George Parr, in Mr. Norton's cooper-shop, in 1850, and as early as 1851 the school was transferred to a small schoolhouse erected for that purpose on Section 24. A man named Anderson was the first teacher. From this small be- ginning schools sprung up rapidly in different parts of the town, and have been continued with flattering success ever since. There are now in the town five school buildings with excellent accommodations, which require the services of five teachers. The salaries paid here are such as to enable the school board to procure teachers from among the best in the country.
The first religious services were held as early as 1851, by William See, who acted as leader or preacher, and held meetings in the dwellings of the settlers. The first regular minister was Rev. Arthur Laughlin, a Congregationalist, who was located in the town of Wyoming. Father McDonald was the first Catholic priest who visited the town. He came here in 1852, and cele- brated mass at Thomas Dunbar's, and afterward, occasionally, at the residence of Michael Mur- phy. The Catholic Church, which is located on Section 10, was built about 1865 ; the congre- gation is attended by the priest from Highland. The Norwegian Lutheran Church, in the southern part of the town, was dedicated in 1878. This church is nicely located, well finished, and has a good-sized congregation.
Mills .- In 1848 or 1849, the first grist-mill in the town was built by William See and James Kinzie, Sr., on Otter Creek. A year or two later Mr. Kinzie erected, near the grist- mill, a saw-mill, which he continued to run with success, in connection with the grist-mill, until 1868, when a freshet came and the creek overflowed its banks and played havoc with the coun- try along its course. The mills were swept from their foundations and completely destroyed and carried away with the rush of water. The grist-mill was rebuilt two or three years there-
792
HISTORY OF IOWA COUNTY.
after, by Charles Frost and Robert Kinzie. Shortly after this, they also rebuilt the saw-mill, which, with the grist-mill, is now owned by Peter Bourgeault. These mills are crowded to their utmost capacity, their trade being very extensive. On Section 10, in the southern part of the town, is located the grist-mill now owned by Mr. Pearcy. This mill has some excellent run of stone, and the quality of the flour is the equal of any in the county.
About twenty-five years ago, a charter for a ferry between this town and Lone Rock, on the opposite shore of the Wisconsin River, was granted to Reuben Razey. This ferry is still con- tinued, and is of great convenience to the citizens of each town.
The first marriage in the town was culminated in 1850, John Messersmith performing the ceremony. The contracting parties were James Dunbar and Catherine Murphy. The two first births in the town were children of Mrs. Norton and Mrs. Dunbar.
The first deaths in the town occurred in 1850, they being Mr. and Mrs. Butterfield, who succumbed to the cholera epidemic of that year. They were interred in the old burying- ground on Mr. Norton's farm.
First Chicago Poll List -In this connection is presented an exact copy of the contents of a rare old document, the record of the first election held in the precinct, now city of Chicago, which is now in the possession of Robert Kinzie, of Avoca, son of James Kinzie, who was for many years a resident of Clyde. This transcript will doubtless prove of interest to very many of our readers, besides being a valuable contribution to the historical records of the great North- west, and particularly that greatest city of this wide area, Chicago ; therefore we take a pleasure in printing it :
At an election held at the house of James Kinzie, in the Chicago Precinct, Peoria County, State of Illinois, on Monday, the 21 day of August, A. D. 1830, the un lernamed electors appeared and voted as follows (viz.):
