THE ELCHO HIGH SCHOOL Erected in 1921. J. W. Bluett was the first principal of this school. Arthur Goodrick delivered the dedicatory address when the school was dedicated.
Hon.
Cave, Sigvart Solberg, Thorwald Solberg, Anton Foll- stad, Clarence Graves, Charles Graves, Anton Schuh, Charles Beard, Peter Tappan, John Gormanley, Wm. Brantner, and E. Youngbauer. Charles W. Fish, prom- inent lumberman, came to Elcho in 1895.
Elcho's first general store was opened in 1886 by Thorwald Solberg, a Norwegian, who had, before then, lived a short time, on a homestead in Antigo township. This storekeeper was also the first postmaster of El- cho. When the Jones Lumber Company came to El- cho, the Solberg store was taken over by them. Sol- berg & Niels Anderson, first Antigo merchant, follow- ed the Jones Lumber Company. The Solberg & An- derson store was then taken over by Charles W. Fish, who, with the exception of an interval when it was sold to W. Litzen, still owns it. The original Solberg store was near the site of the Muskie Inn. Solberg first kept supplies at his home on section 12.
The Elcho House, first hotel, was erected in 1886 by N. F. Weaver. It served for many years as a hotel. It burned in 1919.
mill rebuilt. The rise and progress of Elcho since then has been interwoven with the success of the Charles W. Fish Lumber Company, which now ope- rates five mills.
Postmasters at Elcho since 1886 have been: Thor- ward Solberg, Mrs. Byron Cole, Richard W. Cave, G. W. Jones, George Burton, Dudley Burton, R. Hanson. The present postoffice building was erected in 1915.
Elcho has splendid educational facilities. The first frame school still exists. It was built in 1887. Ear ly teachers were Mrs. R. W. Cave, Flora Wilson and Dora B. Benedict. The pioneer school was used un- til 1902, when a new school house was built in block 14. It was a one story two room building originally but a second story has since been added.
In November, 1921, a high school was added to the educational institutions of Elcho. Dedicatory serv- ices were conducted in 1921. The principal address was given by Hon. Arthur Goodrick, Municipal Judge of Langlade County. J. W. Bluett was the first H. S. principal.

DISTRICT NO. 2.
District No. 2 is subdivided into three divisions with schools at Post Lake, the Sunset subdistrict and the Kosciousko (Polish) settlement. The Post Lake region is the most densely settled and the oldest in point of habitation by white settlers. Sunset subdis- trict is situated nearer to the village of Elcho than the other two. It is well settled. The Kosciousko dis- trict has been settled since 1897.
District No. 2 was organized in 1894. From 1887, when Elcho township was organized, to 1895, the schools were conducted under the township system. This system was then continued from 1895 to 1912.
Post Lake is one of the most picturesque places in Wisconsin. The beautiful lake, stretching north into Oneida County from the center of section 23 of East Elcho township, affords excellent boating and fishing for the sportsman and tourist. Its shore line is dotted with the cottages of men and women, who, tired of the constant and incessant grind of the commercial whirl, come here in "The Heart of the Whispering Pines" to hold communion, so to speak, with God and His handi- craft. The Narrows are bridged at section 11 by one of the best iron bridges in the county.
But Post Lake held an attraction for more than the modern tourist. Long before the first pine was cut in East Elcho township, bands of Menominee and Chippewa Indians camped on the shores of Post Lake. At the narrows of Post Lake on the farm of Charles Thompson, section 11, Charles Thompson dug up the skeleton of a man, who was buried in a sitting posi- tion. Harry Graves once found on the same site a signet ring bearing the insignia "I. H. S." and also of a tiny cross. David Edict identified it as a Jesuit Missionary ring, thus proving that this was once the trading post of Indians and French missionaries, who probably travelled in small bateau down the Wolf river, portaging the rapids and impassable places.
This was once a strategical point. Before the Charles Thompson farm was cleared and plowed the walls of a general defense works, broken and crum- bled by time and disintegration, were clearly discern- ible. David Edick, who has been in this region for a half century, was one of the first to observe this de- fense work. This point commanded both arms of Post Lake and the Wolf river as well. The ruins of the old trading post on the east bank of Post Lake are still visible. The trading post is probably one hundred years old. A large birch tree has grown up in the ruins. Early settlers at Post Lake can recall when the east bank of Post Lake was dotted with the wigwams of the red men. It was among these tribes that the pioneer fur traders and supply merchants of pioneer days lived. Many married squaws who prov- ed to be thirfty and industrious housewives.
The first school at Post Lake was a log building on section 10, erected by C. W. Maney. A second log building was erected shortly after the first one by Knute Anderson. This was used until the frame school was built on section 11. Early teachers were Loretta Bish- op, Tillie Schultze, May Cornish, Anna Beard, May Taylor. Others were Ada Jersey, Lucy Miller, Margaret Deleglise, Margaret Moss, Otelia Person, Madge Hoyt, Edna Dumjohn, and Florence Helgerson. Pioneer school children in the Post Lake school were Isabell, Minnie, Nellie, Grace, Gilbert and Jennie Maney and Nellie and William Dagl.
From 1900 to 1901 Frank Wagner operated a saw- mill on section 11. Charles Thompson built a saw- mill on section 11 in 1903 and operated it until April 17, 1905, when it burned down. John Monroe had a sawmill on section 12 for one year. George McNinch, who operated a sawmill on section 14, sold it to Cran- don people in 1922.
In 1900 Thomas Bradnock erected a dam on lot 3 on the Wolf River at the outlet of Post Lake.
The Post Lake postoffice was opened in 1902.

HISTORY OF LANGLADE COUNTY.
Harry Harmon was the first Postmaster. He was suc- ceeded by Sim Jones. In 1903 Mrs. Charles Thomp- son was appointed Postmistress. She retained the of- fice until 1913, when the office was abandoned. The rural free delivery system has been extended to this district from Pelican Lake. The pioneer settlers ob- tained mail from Elcho and those who settled in this vi- cinity before Elcho was established, from Lily, (New) on the old Military Road.
The first store in this vicinity was erected in 1922 on section 11 by E. G. Benfield, who came from Chicago, Il1.
The Kosciousko or Polish District is situated south and west of Post Lake. The first settlers were Michael Mickezkak, who homesteaded on section 21 in 1897. The second settler was Valentine Dzewski, who came from Milwaukee in 1900 and located on section 21.
The school is located in the northern part of sec- tion 21, not far from the main highway from Post Lake to Elcho. It was erected by the Jones Lumber Com- pany, once established at Elcho. The children at- tended school at Post Lake before this frame building was erected. There are about ten settlers in this re- gion. The land is hilly and rolling. The school is in charge of the officials of District No. 2. Marine Ja- vorsky was the 1921-22 teacher. The school may be abandoned in this subdistrict.
SYSTEM OF SCHOOL GOVERNMENT.
May 31, 1912, the Elcho township officials met at the town hall to change the system of school govern- ment from township to the district system. The no- tices for the meeting were posted at prominent places in the township May 21, 1912. Two school districts were formed. District No. 1 consists of all of Town- ship 34, Range 10 East, and sections 6, 7, 18, 19, 30 and 31 of Township 34, Range 11 East. District No. 2 consists of sections 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 32, 33, 34, 35 and 36 of Township 34, Range 11 East.
VALUATION OF PROPERTY.
The valuation of real estate and personal property in
the two school districts at the time of the change to the district system was: District No. 1, $396,787.00; District No. 2, $227,272.00. Assessed value of Elcho township, $624,059.00. The township indebtedness was apportioned as follows: District No. 1, $1,590.00; District No. 2, $910.00; Total, $2,500.CO.
MISCELLANEOUS.
On October 7, 1893, District No. 3 was set off after the township board had voted favorably on taking ter- ritory from District No. 1 and No. 2. The first meet- ing was held at the home of C. W. Maney on October 18, 1893.
FINAL SETTLEMENT.
Final settlement was made April 1, 1886, between Summit and Elcho township officers. The Elcho of- ficials went on record December 6, 1887, favoring an immediate payment of their township's proportion of money due Lincoln County from the old original Ack- ley township, of which Elcho township (as it then existed) was once a part, as soon as the settlement was made.
NEW SCHOOL IN 1902.
In 1902 the people of Elcho erected a new school house. The first township official meeting in the old school house was held on June 17, 1902.
NEW BRIDGE ACROSS NARROWS.
The Wisconsin Bridge & Construction Company of Milwaukee built an iron bridge across the narrows of Post Lake in 1902. The span of the bridge is 100 feet. The bridge was completed before December 1, 1902, at a cost of $2,490. The wooden bridge, pre- viously used, was erected in December, 1895, by Gust Schmege. It was completed in February, 1896, at a cost of $500. J. W. Parsons and Walter Dorczeski, County Commissioners, looked after the bridge during process of construction.

Elton township is the largest civil division in Lang- lade County, containing three and a third congression- al townships or 120 square miles. It is also the most eastern township in the county. Elton township is bounded on the east by Armstrong and Wheeler town- ships, Octonto County, on the west by Langlade and Evergreen townships, Langlade County, on the north by Wabeno township, Forest County, and on the south by the northern boundary of the Menominee Indian reservation. This township consists of townships 31, 32 and 33 of Range 14 East and 12 sections in town- ship 31 of Range 15 East. The northern townships are heavily timbered, containing immense tracts of hardwood owned by large lumbering concerns, resi- dents and the Chicago & Northwestern Railroad Co.
Elton Township 32 North, of Range 14 East is very unequal in the northwest portion. In some places in this part of the township it is nearly level while the southern and eastern parts are rolling and hilly. A range of hills extends through the southern portion in a southwesterly direction. Much of the surface has large protruding boulders scattered about. Originally this township was heavily timbered (as it is still) with maple, hemlock, elm and some white pine. There are very few swamps in this township. Those found were once timbered with spruce, tamarack and cedar. The Wolf river passes through the southwest part of the township in sections 30, 31 and 32. The shores of the lakes were thickly grown with birch and cedar. The waters were originally stagnant and impure and have not changed much through the years. The Wolf river varies in width from 6 to 20 links (4 to 14 feet) in the township. The bed of the stream is filled with boulders. There are rapids and falls in many places, making navigation impossible. This part of the river affords excellent power for manufacturing institutions. Elton township No. 32 has a diversified soil. Gloucester stony sand is by far the predominant type, covering an area of one-half the township, or about 18 sections, in the central, northeastern and northwestern sections. In the north central part Gloucester silt loam, rolling phase, covers a large area. All of section 31 and the southeast part of section 36 are also covered by this soil. Gloucester sandy loam is found in sections 6, 7 and 8 and also sections 33, 34, 35 and 36. Peat is found on the river banks.
Township 33 North, of Range 14 East is the most northern Elton township. It was surveyed by James
L. Nowlin, United States Deputy Surveyor, in April, 1865. There are no large streams in this township. Ada and Mary lakes are the only large bodies of water. The township is covered with a dense tract of timber. Maple, birch and hemlock, elm, ash and white and Norway pine were the original forest pro- ducts. There are some swamps in the township. They cannot be drained without great difficulty and some cannot be drained irrespective of any efforts. The region has not been settled, contains no schools nor important highways or railroads, except the Wis- consin & Northern ( now the Soo Line) and the C. & N. W. railroad tracks, serving territory north and south. The soil may be divided into three types, al- though Gloucester silt loam occupies nearly the en- tire township. That type of soil is more extensive in this part of Elton than anywhere else in the county. In the north part of the township it is the rolling phase. Gloucester fine sandy loam is found in a small area at the intersections of sections 20, 25 and 30. Gloucester sandy loam is found in sections 17, 18, 19 and 20. There is a large amount of peat on both sides of "Nine Mile Creek," which runs from the central part of the township in a southwesterly course, through Hollister.
Township 31, Range 14 East contains a few swamps unfit for cultivation. This township was surveyed in July, 1857, by U. S. Deputy Surveyor James McBride. Original timber was maple, birch, pine, hemlock and spruce. Before 1857 a terrific tornado swept through this township uprooting trees and laying waste every- thing in its path. The wind travelled in a wide and irregular path in the north and west parts of the town- ship. It made the region very near impassable for many years. The Wolf river flows through sections 3, 4, 10, 15, 22, 23, 25, 26, 27 and 35. The Wolf river is shallow in many places. Its rapids in certain sec- tions make it a valuable water for motive power. Glou- cester sandy loam is found in the eastern part, Glou- cester silt loam in the western part and Gloucester fine sandy loam in the north central part of the town- ship. This township is the most populous of Elton townships. Langlade and White Lake villages are lo- cated in it. The Soo Line railroad serves the terri- tory as does the Chicago & Northwestern. It is said that the Soo main line will eventually pass through this eastern part of the county.

or the west one-third of township 31, Range 15 East are also in Elton township. Dobbston, now named Markton, is located in this part of Elton. Boulder lake is the principal body of water. Gloucester silt loam is found in the extreme northwest and a small area in the southeast. Gloucester sandy loam is the most extensive type of soil and is found through the north and central parts. Gloucester fine sandy loam is found in the southern part of the territory. James McBride, U. S. Surveyor surveyed this region in Sep- tember, 1857. Birch, pine, cedar, tamarack, hemlock and maple were the original forest products.
Before the United States survey there were no im- provements in Elton township. It was not for six years after the final survey in 1865 that settlers began to trek into the vast wilderness. The old military road and the Lake Superior trail were the first highways of communication to bring in the pioneer settler and prospector. We shall hear of the trials, vicissitudes, tribulations and discouragments of these hardy folks in the story of the various districts. Before then it will not be amiss to give the process of organization that ultimately lead to the establishment of Elton township in 1887.
PETITION OF 1886.
November 10, 1886, Charles W. McFarland, Charles H. Larzelere, and others sent a request to the county board asking that townships 32 and 33 of Range 13 East be detached from Langlade township and created into Lily township and that township 31 of Range 13 East (Evergreen township) and townships 31, 32 and 33 of Range 14 East and the west one-third of town- ship 31, Range 15 East be detached from Langlade township and organized into a new township to be henceforth known as Elton township. The township was accordingly created. It was named after Elton C. Larzelere, son of Charles H. Larzelere, now the C. & N. W. depot agent at Antigo. The first township meeting was held in April, 1887, at the house of C. H. Larzelere, section 10. C. H. Larzelere, J. J. Spring- er and J. F. Bunten were the first election inspectors.
LANGLADE TOWNSHIP FOUGHT ELTON.
January 18, 1887, a remonstrance was sent to the Langlade County solons denouncing the division of Langlade township and the formation of Elton. The remonstrance was signed by S. A. Taylor, Lewis Pen- dleton, U. G. Taylor, G. F. Truesdell, John Attridge, J. B. Hollister, H. G. Chase, O. A. Taylor, J. C. John- son, Israel Stinson, Frank Kielzewski, J. J. Springer, William (his mark X) Guelky, Joseph Warblesky, Stephen H. Austin, S. D. (his mark X) Austin, T. M. Dobbs, Robert Gilray, Joseph M. Jackson, S. J. Robin- son, J. E. Schultz, D. McDonell, H. L. Mason, David B. Edick, Henry Strauss, H. Ball, C. S. Dempster, W. B. Bell, H. N. Bell, H. N. Bell, Jr., Mike Willett, Bert Getchell, David Getchell, J. Vinton, Walter Dorszeski, Louis Moldrawski, S. Ball, A. E. Wheeler and J. Camp- bell. The remonstrance asked that the ordinance creat-
ing Elton township be set aside. It was defeated. The old town of Langlade retained townships 32 and 33 of Range 13 East, however. S. A. Taylor wanted the name changed from Langlade township to Keeps township. This request was defeated. Elton town- ship lost no territory until Evergreen township was or- ganized in 1896.
