DISTRICT NO. 1.


WHITE LAKE DISTRICT. When Isaac Farrow, pioneer Elton citizen, attempted to drain White Lake to create a natural hay meadow out of its level bot- tom in 1876, little did he dream that the shores of the same lake would a half century later be the site of a prosperous village wherein dwell 700 inhabitants. If George Gardner, Stockbridge Indian, who kept a stop- ping place on the old Lake Superior Trail and the Military Road fifty years ago, near what is now White Lake, could return to earth and visit this region he would have difficulty in locating the old trail and the site of his "ranch." (See Chapter on Stopping Places- Hotels-Taverns).


Marcus Wahleitner, Sr., came into this district in 1889 from Elton village, settling on section 29. John Evans operated a saw mill in this district until 1895. Much of the labor about this mill, one of the first in eastern Langlade County, was accomplished with the assistance of oxen. The mill was moved to Lily in 1895. In 1891 T. F. Smith purchased eighty acres on section 29. Joseph Kettner settled in the district in 1893 and Thomas Carson in 1899. Charles Switzer, father of W. E. Switzer of Wabeno, Forest County, who headed the Langlade County normal for a number of years, logged in this district in 1893 for the Me- nasha Woodenware Company.


The first school was erected on section 29. W. E. Switzer was an early teacher. Three pupils attended the first school.


In October, 1907, the village plat of Van Ostrand, proposed town of E. H. Van Ostrand, was surveyed by Alex Deleglise. The village contained 41 blocks and was owned by the Van Ostrand Town Site Improve- ment Company. Adams, Hayes, Madison, Harrison, Jackson, Van Buran, Grant, Monroe, Lincoln, Jefferson, Buchanan and Washington streets were laid out. Ave- nues from first to tenth inclusive were platted. Lots were sold but the purchasers sold back to the improve- ment company when Van Ostrand village was aband- oned. A depot was built by the Wisconsin Northern

railroad at the village site in 1908. The line then


ended at Van Ostrand.


A brick school was erected in 1913 at a cost of $3,000 when the frame structure, inadequate and small, was vacated. The school enrollment had increased in six years from a few pupils to thirty-four. This school is under the jurisdiction of the school board in charge of the White Lake village schools. It is located on section 29.


THE VILLAGE OF WHITE LAKE.


A year before the Yawkey-Bissell Lumber Com- pany, lumber kings of Wisconsin for a half century, located, rumors floated about to the effect that a large saw and planing mill would be erected at White Lake. The rumors became facts when in July, 1916, the Yaw- key-Bissell Lumber Company began clearing land east of White Lake for a village and mill site. August 16, 1916, work was started on the large saw mill which commenced operations June 1, 1917. A year later ground was broken (August, 1917) for the planing mill which was completed and in operation January 1, 1918.


Following the mill came the hotel which was erected in the winter of 1917-18. It is managed by Mrs. Paul


the village. Ten teachers have charge of the White Lake schools. The large enrollment is in-


creasing every year. The White Lake rural school is


still used on section 29. For three years it was va- cated. W. D. Cavers, Director, B. C. Nelson, Clerk and H. F. De Horn, Treasurer were the 1921-22 officers in charge of the high school, White Lake graded and White Lake rural schools.


White Lake has 110 families.


Shipping facilities are good. Passenger service is not. The Yawkey-Bissell Lumber Company have enough timber in Langlade and Forest Counties to run until 1944. 15,000 acres were purchased in 1916 from the Menasha Wooden Ware Company. Most of this timber is in Langlade County. In 1919, 18,000 acres were purchased from the Kimberly-Clark Company. This tract is in Forest County. Smaller tracts were purchased from the Oconto Lumber Company, the C. & N. W. Railroad Co., and the S. W. Hollister estate.


Two camps operate all year around. Peter O'Con- nor, early Antigo citizen, whose wife was the first An- tigo school teacher, is Wood Superintendent for the lumber concern. J. C. Horgen was the first manager at the store.

Leitl. The lumber concern also has a boarding house where many employes live. R. Pagel conducts it. In September, 1916, the depot erected at Van Ostrand by the Wisconsin & Northern railroad was moved to White Lake and W. H. Gamble became the first agent. A store was built by the lumber company in November, 1916. William Obendschein is in charge of the store and Julius Strauch of the meat market. A barber shop is operated by P. J. Reis. In August, 1917, the C. & N. W. Railroad Company built a depot at White Lake. The Yawkey-Bissell Lumber Company office was erect- ed in 1916 and by January 1, 1917 was completed. A splendid club house, dance hall and community center building was erected at an approximate cost of $15,000 in 1918-19. It was opened June 1, 1919.


The White Lake graded school was opened October 1, 1917. The school was built at a cost of $13,000. In 1921 a union free high school, including about two- thirds of Elton township, was organized in


The Yawkey-Bissell Lumber Company has ten miles of track connecting their camps in the southern part of Evergreen township with the mills at White Lake. Annual cut is 30 million feet, while the capaci- ty of the mill is 60 million feet.


The Military Road Telephone Company serves this district.


Dr. W. E. Ellis is the present doctor. Dr. Clayton Charles was the first doctor in the village.


White Lake has two churches and three church or- ganizations. The St. Mathews Lutheran church, erect- ed in 1917, has Rev. A. Hoswald as resident Pastor. The St. James Catholic church, erected in 1920 is in charge of Rev. Victor Happa. Rev. J. Landusky was the first pastor, followed by Rev. F. A. Bemowski. The Presbyterian faith is represented by a local organiza- tion. Services are held monthly in the club house with Rev. Westphal of Neenah as Pastor.


White Lake is 35 miles from Shawano, 32 miles from

Antigo and 40 miles from Crandon. It is on section 16, township 31, range 14 east. The nearest point of the Wolf river is about one mile.


The White Lake Bank is discussed in the chapter on Banks and Finance.


Many of the residents of White Lake have been em- ployed for years by the Yawkey-Bissell Lumber Com- pany, who at the beginning of the twentieth century had large saw and planing mills at Arbor Vitae, Vilas County and Hazelhurst, Oneida County.


Employes at the Yawkey-Bissell Lumber Company general offices at White Lake are: E. G. Woodford, Sales Manager; O. A. Olmholt, Assistant Sales Mana- ger; L. E. Prahl, Stenographer; Charles W. Wick- strom, Bookkeeper; John Anderegg, Timekeeper; W. D. Cavers, Auditor and E. D. Sterling, General Super- intendent. J. Collins and W. J. Edwards are in charge of camps.


Wm. Obendschein is the postmaster.


DISTRICT NO. 4.


WOLF RIVER DISTRICT. The first settler in the Wolf River district was Charles H. Larzelere, who came down from Lac Vieux Desert on the newly con- structed military road in the winter of 1870. He had a short time previously driven north from Janesville with a yoke of oxen to the state line. Mr. Larzelere settled on section 3, township 32, range 14 east. 0. J. Yates was the next early settler. He came from Maine in 1873 and settled on section 10. Isaac Far- row, came at the same time from Oshkosh. He also settled on section 10. John J. Springer, a Canadian, settled on an adjoining section No. 3, about that time. John Gibson came from Littletown, New Hampshire, with the first settlers and took up a claim on section 3. Thomas Hutchinson, who later moved to Price town- ship, settled on the banks of the Wolf river in section 10, this district, in a very early day. Charles Mc- Farland, pioneer writer and timberman, settled on sec- tion 10. Mr. McFarland was from Racine, Wis. Other early settlers were: Frank Derinski, who came from Poland, settling on section 3; Peter Novak, Poland immigrant, who cleared out a home for himself on sec- tion 10; Michael Baker came from Chicago and began farming on section 10; Robert Gilray, Canadian native, settled on section 10. H. McConley came from Bell Plaine, Wisconsin, settling on section 3. These set- tlers were all here very early.


The first school in the county was erected in this district on section 3. It was taught by Mrs. C. H. Larzelere, Addie Wescott, Annie Nolan, Wealthie Doo- little, Anna V. Cole, Carrie J. Larzelere, Myrtle Griff- iths, Francis Churchouse, Orville Pulcifer and H. B. Kellogg, all early teachers. A second school was later erected on section 10. Both of these pioneer school buildings were frame structures. A third school fol- lowed. The fourth building was erected in 1908 by Kraisin Brothers of Tigerton, Wisconsin, at a cost of $4,233.00. The contract was let July 6, 1908. The 1921-22 teachers were: Lulu Livingston and Anna Cusick. The 1921-22 school officials were: Mrs. M. E. Spencer, Clerk; George Shannon, Treasurer and


Mrs. A. J. Baseley, Director. The average enroll- ment is 45 pupils.


VILLAGE OF LANGLADE.


The village of Langlade, named after Charles De Langlade, is located in this district. Langlade, as platted, contains all that territory in the southwest 1/4 of the NE 1,4 of section 3, Township 31, Range 14 East. The streets were designated on the plat as A, B, C, D. E and F streets, with avenues from First to Third Ave- nues inclusive. The village plat was recorded Octo- ber 16, 1906. W. C. Webley was the surveyor. Kiel- czewski's plat of Langlade is in the NE 1/4 of the NE 1/4 of section 10.


J. Yates had the first store, located on section 10. He ran it from 1874 to 1879 with success. He mov- ed to the State of Washington from Langlade County before the city of Antigo was dreamed of by any one, (except F. A. Deleglise). Olaf Morgan ran a saw mill on section 27 and section 14. He came from Morgan's Siding, a place below Neopit.


The district has one church, a Polish Catholic church. There is a Protestant and Catholic cemetery on section 10. On section 3 a Polish Catholic ceme- tery is located.


In this vicinity are found many private cemeteries, where in early days, when the pioneers passed away, they were laid to rest near the old homestead or log cabin wherein they had spent so many days during these first momentous years.


The Wolf River district has thirty-five families. The principal occupation is agriculture. J. L. Whitehouse and H. A. Shannon are proprietors of general stores at Langlade. .


The district has the following territory: Sections 3, 10, 15, 22, 27, 34, of Township 33, Range 14 East and sections 2, 3, 4, 9, 10, 11, 14, 15, 16, 21, 22, 23, 26, 27, 28, 33, 34, 35 of Township 32, Range 14 East and sections 2, 3, 4, 9, 10, 11, 14, 15 and 16 of Township 31, Range 14 East. It was once an important part of the famous Lost Nation.


DISTRICT NO. 5.


MARKTON DISTRICT. This district is located in southeastern Langlade County and was one of the first regions to be settled. Pioneers were Christopher Wheeler, who settled on section 30, Township 31, Range 15 East in 1871. Mr. Wheeler came from Em- barrass, Wisconsin, and followed the military road north. H. N. Bell settled in the district in 1877 on section 30. He came from Chicago. Thomas M.


Dobbs settled on section 30 in 1873. He erected a saw mill, the first in Langlade County. (See chapter on Industries 1873-1923). The Melville family came to the district in 1877 settling on section 30. Christo- pher Hill and Horace Rice settled on section 30 in 1877. They conducted the first stopping place north of the Menominee Indian Reservation for years. An account of this place is given in the chapter on old stopping places, hotels and taverns, found elsewhere. The district was one of the most active lumbering re-

gions in Langlade County during the famous Wolf riv- er log drives. Daniel McDowell of Embarrass came to this district in 1876 settling on section 30. S. A. Taylor, the dominant factor in county organization had much land and timber interests in the district. L. H. Taylor erected a store and also conducted the first Post Office on section 30. The Taylor people came from New York state. Allen Taylor came to Dobbston, as Markton was named by Thomas M. Dobbs, in 1874. William Schroeder of Shawano, Markton Roax and George Roax of Shawano and James L. Whitehouse, all of Shawano, settled in the Markton district in a very early day. George Roax re-named Dobbston after his son, Markton Roax. H. N. Bell is the last of the old settlers still in the district.


The first school house was erected on section 30 in 1873. It was a frame building and the lumber was bought from T. M. Dobbs. This lumber was some of the first ever manufactured in the county. In those days the entire number of settlers "chipped in" to pay the teacher's wages. (See the Lost Nation section in Langlade township.)


Mayme Kellogg was one of the first teachers. The old school was used from 1873 until a splendid brick building was erected in 1915 by C. F. Dallman. It is now preserved by the H. N. Bell family.


The old Gardner dam is located on section 25. Ruins of it are still visible.


Matt Heins has operated a saw mill in the district on section 7, Township 31, Range 15 East for the past twenty years. He came from Milwaukee.


In pioneer days the village of Dobbston hummed with the labors of the pine men. Philetus Sawyer, Repub- lican leader in Wisconsin politics for many years, often visited in this district, during the pinery regime.


Henry Sherry, who operated a mill at Kent, ran sev- eral camps near Markton. The original Dobbs mill was moved to Lily in 1882.


Remnants of the old Lake Superior Trail are visible in this vicinity.


Wm. Alft, chairman of Elton township, lives in the district on the site where the old Hill & Rice log cabins once flourished.


DISTRICT NO. 6.


HOLLISTER DISTRICT. Squire A. Taylor, Found- er of New (Langlade) County, dominant pioneer in the historic Wolf river country and leader of the Wolf riv- er county seat proponents, came into eastern Langlade County in 1860. He was a timber and real estate dealer and as a sub-contractor aided in the construction of the United States military road. Nine years later, 1876, Leonard Marsh, the second per- manent settler moved from Omro, Wisconsin, to this district, settling on the SE 1/4 of section 18. The same year extensive logging operations were inaugurated by Oshkosh lumbermen, more prominent of whom was C. B. Hollister, who had camps in this district. Thus the region became known as the Hollister district.


Robert Gilray and Fred Dodge followed as the next pioneer settlers. They both became proprietors of stopping places on the military road. The Dodge place was on the site of the Ehlinger Brothers mill, section 18.


Education of children was not overlooked by Leon- ard Marsh, Robert Gilray, Fred Dodge and the others who followed. In 1878 a humble frame school build- ing was erected on section 19. It still stands a monu- ment to pioneer progress. Meanwhile the district flourished. Men riding horse back took the place of the oxen and "man packed" mail from Shawano north into this district on the military road. Settlers receiv- ed mail twice a week.


S. Moldrawski and family, Walter V. Dorszeski and family of Chicago moved into the community in 1884. Mr. Dorszeski later became actively identified with Langlade County's interests, serving as an official from this township many times. Frank Kielcheski settled in the district on section 7 about 1886. He came from Chicago. Antone Kielcheski now occupies the farm his father settled on. J. Schutte moved from Lang- lade into the Hollister district a few years later and J. Bombinski, who served as a town official many years, came here from Chicago at that time.


The second school was erected on the Dorszeski farm in 1890. Anna Kelly, Antigo, was the first teacher in the second school. After eighteen years this school was discontinued. The district developed its agricultural potentialities and the logging and lum- bering industries flourished meanwhile. With the approach of the Wisconsin & Northern railroad in 1913 and now its purchase by the Soo Line (1921) the future of this region is exceptionally promising. Two years later, 1915, The Military Road Telephone Com- pany erected a telephone line in this district.


In October, 1916, Michael, M. F. and Nicholas Eh- linger of Suring, Wisconsin, erected a mill at Hollister on section 19. It brought in settlers and employment. It operated until May, 1920, when a fire completly destroyed it. The Ehlinger Brothers re-built in June, 1920. Thirty men are employed on an average. Four million feet of lumber is the average annual cut.


In 1918 a postoffice was established known as Eh- linger. The Soo railroad station is known as Hollis- ter. A third name for the district is "Nine Mile Creek" by which it is referred to by the settlers. George Burger of Suring erected a hotel at Ehlinger in November, 1921. He also conducts a supply store at the hotel.


The present modern brick school was erected on an acre of land donated by M. J. Wallrich, Shawano, Wisconsin, in section 18. This school is one of the best in the eastern part of the county. About thirty- eight families reside in the Hollister district. Anoth- er school will be erected to accommodate the increased school attendance.


The Campbell Lumber Company and the Weber, Anderson & Wallrich Lumber Company interests are cared for by C. A. Anderson.

CHAPTER XL. Evergreen Township No. 31 N., R. 13 E.


Surface and Drainage-Soil-Lakes and Streams-Wolf River Township-Name of Township Changed to Evergreen-Evergreen Officials, 1896-1923-Cozy Corner-Sherry-Mckinley and Wilson-Village of Elton-Kentuckian Settlers-Washington District.


Evergreen township is situated in southeastern Lang- lade County. It lies in congressional township 31 North of Range 13 East. James McBride, United States Deputy Surveyor surveyed this township in No- vember, 1857. The entire surface of Evergreen is hilly and broken. The land is well watered by num- erous streams and ponds. The township was visited by many destructive cyclones in an early day (before 1858) as was then evidenced by the many windfalls. Principal timber was hemlock and birch. The town- ship contains a wealth of timber products yet, much of which is being extensively logged. It lies in the St. Lawrence river drainage system. The dominant soil is Gloucester silt loam, rolling phase. It is found in


the southern half of the township. About eight sec- tions in the northwestern part occupy the southern part of a great area of Gloucester sandy loam that stretches northeast and then northwest through Langlade and Ainsworth townships. In the center of the township about one section of Gloucester fine sandy loam is found. Principal lakes are McGee, Florence, West Florence, Dodgers, Town Line, Twin Hill and Mud Pond. Evergreen Creek runs through sections 4, 9, 16, 17, 21, 22, 27, 34 and 35. The Chicago & North- western road ( Wolf river branch) runs through sections 7, 8, 16, 17, 21, 22, 23, and 24. The Crocker Chair Company railroad extends north from Elton village through sections 3, 4, and 16. The Wisconsin & Northern (now Soo Line) runs through the south- eastern part of the township in section 36. The Yaw- key-Bissell Lumber Company of White Lake, Elton township, have their logging railroads in the south- eastern part of Evergreen. Their logging camp is lo- cated on section 26. It is in charge of John Collins.


WOLF RIVER TOWNSHIP.


November 18, 1895, residents of Elton township re- quested the County Board to detach townships 31, 32 and 33 of Range 14 East and the west twelve sec- tions of Township 31, Range 15 East from Elton township and create the Town of Wolf River. A. J. Wood, W. J. Wood, Marcus Wahleitner, Sr., G. T. Truesdell, C. S. Dempster, Joseph Wahleitner, Albert Rolo, John Wurzer, Michael Coughlin, Walter V. Dor- szeski, John Evans, F. Dasynski, Frank Spaulding, Will Schroeder, L. P. Wahleitner, Simon Post, Ned Sawyer, John Olkoewick, Andrew Jagla, J. S. Smith, M. Dazinski, George A. Roix, Louis Motorum, Henry Juetten, W. B. Bell and Robert Gilray were the lead- ers of this movement.


Walter V. Dorszeski, George Roberts and Chester


Starks, town organization committeemen on the County Board, referred the request to the members. Strenuous efforts were made to defeat the detachment. While a new township was organized it was not un- til February 26, 1896, and then the division was not in accord with the petition from the Wolf River town- ship leaders. Township 31, Range 13 East was taken from Elton township February 26, 1896, and was es- tablished as Wolf River township. The Wolf River does not flow through the township and this name was not appropriate. It was changed in May, 1896, to the Town of Evergreen by its settlers.


CEMETERY OF EVERGREEN.


April 7, 1903, a committee of ladies were selected to chose a site for a township cemetery. The ladies reported to the town board and the same year the cemetery was laid out, section 16.
