HISTORY OF LANGLADE COUNTY.
village of Antigo were opposed to its incorporation because they disliked the idea of greater representa- tion of the village on the county board.
Proponents of the plan for incorporation declared that the village should be incorporated as a city be- cause the pro rata of electors to each chairman of the county townships exclusive of the Town of Antigo was in 1883, 51 inhabitants. Thus, they argued, if the village becomes a city, each of the four ward su- pervisors would represent 53 electors. The four su- pervisors of the city and the Chairman of Antigo town- ship would each represent 63 electors and that even with the four city supervisors on the board, that the county members opposed, the per cent of representa- tion would still be in favor of the townships.
Two years later in 1885, Antigo citizens led a fight

CHAPTER XXII. Hon. Francis A. Deleglise
Birthplace-Parentage -- Early Life-Coming To America-Fought in Civil War-His Marriage to
Mary Bor-Children-His Coming to the Valley of the Eau Claire River-His Death March 25, 1894-The Death of Mrs. Mary Deleglise.
On March 25, 1894, the city of Antigo lost its most illustrous pioneer, Hon. Francis A. Deleglise, known widely to the public as the "Father of Antigo." Hon. Francis Augustine Deleglise was born on February 10, 1835, in Commune of Baynes, Canton of Valais, Switzerland, the son of Maurice Athanase and Cath-
Township, Dodge County, Wisconsin, where she is buried.
The father then moved with his family to Gibson, Manitowoc County, shortly after, moving to Belle Plain, Shawano County. Maurice Deleglise farmed here until 1878 when he was called by death. He was

erine (Lang) Del'Eglise. The father of Mr. Dele- glise was one of four brothers of the old and highly esteemed Catholic families of Valais vineyardists. Maurice, the father of the founder of Antigo, was a teacher and surveyor, he not following the occupation of his ancestors. In 1848 Maurice Deleglise emigrat- ed to America, coming to Wisconin where he engag- ed in agriculture. Pioneer life was hard and new to the teacher and surveyor and after five years' resi- dence his wife passed away at their home in Theresa
buried in the village of Antigo, the home of his son, Francis A. Deleglise.
Francis A. Deleglise was the eldest of the three children brought to America. An older daughter, Catherine, remained in the native land. Young Fran- cis, an intelligent student in the Swiss Canton, found it necessary to aid his father in their new home in America, and he was largely responsible for much of the earnings emptied into the family purse.
On November 29, 1856, he was united in marriage

to Mary Bor, at Two Rivers, Wisconsin. Mrs. F. A. Deleglise was born January 1, 1835, in Taus, Bohemia. Her father died in Antigo in the year 1881.
Francis A. Deleglise answered the call of President Lincoln for troops during the Civil War. He enlisted June 28, 1861, in Appleton, Wis., in Company E of the 6th Wis. Vol. Inf., under Captain Marston. He was promoted to Corporal and in July, 1862, when the regiment became attached to the Army of the Potomac, he participated in many of the struggles of the famous "Iron Brigade" of General Bragg. At An- tietam, bloodiest Civil War battle, he was wounded September 17, 1862. During the first day's fighting at Gettysburg, he was wounded and taken prisoner, but was later rescued by Union forces. On July 16, 1864, he was honorably discharged, after gloriously serving the colors of the North and leaving behind a record of a valiant soldier. Mr. Deleglise suffered
be remembered as the most public spirited Antigo citi- zen of his day. Mr. Deleglise was a member of the Roman Catholic Church all of his life. He died Easter Sunday, March 25, 1894, in the loyal profes- sion of that faith. Mrs. Deleglise survived her hus- band fourteen years, dying December 20, 1907.
Mr. and Mrs. Deleglise were survived by five chil- dren of the eight born to them. Those who died were: Francis Joseph, John E., Henry, and Edmond. Mrs. Mary Teresa Deresch, eldest child, was the first white settler to enter a government homestead in the wilderness adjacent to Antigo. Mrs. Deresch was for many years the only white woman within a radius of twenty miles.
Mrs. Sophia Leslie, the wife of Sam. E. Leslie, was one of the first Antigo school teachers and assisted her father in platting the village of Antigo. She has two children, Loyal I. and Cyril.

much from exposure and wounds during the war and lost in weight from 180 pounds to less than 100 pounds.
After the Civil War he started locating lands in north central Wisconsin and it was then that he se- lected the future site of Antigo. He brought his fam- ily to Antigo in 1877, located and platted the village, more of which is told elsewhere in this volume.
Mr. Deleglise dealt largely in real estate in Antigo. He was an early Town Chairman, the first County Treasurer, and was elected to the Assembly in 1892, a Republican victor in the Democratic landslide. Dur- ing his legislative career he made a brilliant record, manifesting his intelligence and his welfare for the constituents whom he represented. He was liberal in all things, donated many sites to industries, churches, and business interests in Antigo. He secured the first storekeeper, the first mill proprietor and banker who came to Antigo. He was farsighted and will forever
Anna E. Morrissey, as a girl of ten, accompanied her father, Antigo's founder, to Langlade County, when he brought with him the first vanguard of set- tlers. She was the first white child to come to what later became the city of Antigo. Anna E. Morrissey, wife of Thomas Morrissey, has four children, Mar- garet Virginia, John Francis, Gerald Deleglise, and May.
Adelbert Deleglise is unmarried and lives in Min- neapolis.
Alexius L. Deleglise is an able civil engineer and has for many years been City Engineer of Antigo, but at the present time is City Engineer at Merrill, Wis- consin. He has three children, Margaret, Irene and Germaine.
The Deleglise family have enjoyed the respect, con- fidence and esteem of the citizens of Antigo and Lang- lade County and their place as pioneers is equalled only by their standing as citizens.
