The first school house in the district was erected in 1902 with an enrollment of ten pupils. Miss Josephine Donohue was the first instructor. Frank Ringsmith, Theodore Lenzner and August Klever were members of the school board then. Improvements have been made at the school, which is situated on the west side of Highway No. 39, north of Kempster hotel, in 1919.
The school district is a joint unit with sections in Peck and Upham townships.
Other industries that have flourished are a cheese factory, a garage, now operating, a saloon and dance hall. The principal store is that of L. A. Taylor, who purchased from P. S. Anderson, in 1920. Mr. Ander- son came to Kempster in 1914 from Amherst Junction, Wisconsin. The store was previously erected by Frank Borth, who opened the place in 1903.

DISTRICT NO. 2.
GILLIS DISTRICT can rightfully be considered the heart of Neva township, historically and geographical- ly. The history of Neva township is constructed from the early deeds and achievements of the pioneers of District No. 2. It is essentially an agricultural and dairying district.
District No. 2 consists of 1/2 of section 12, 1/2 of sec- tion 11, 1/2 of section 10, 1/2 of section 16, sections 15, 14, 1/2 of section 13, 3-4 of section 23, sections 22, 21 and 1/2 of section 27.
Joseph Duchac, first settler, contracted for land from F. A. Deleglise, representing the Favinger Land Agency of Appleton, Wis., in 1878. Prior to then this was a vast wilderness. Joseph Duchac erected a little home for his family on section 21. He began at once to encourage other settlers to come to the district. The district while originally organized in 1883 has experi- enced many changes in boundary, the last of which was recorded in May, 1905. In the wake of the trail blazed by Mr. Duchac came other sturdy pioneers : James Rine, Sr., James Rine, Jr., Robert Rine, Wencel Krinek, Wencel Vanatatko, W. J. Karbon, Sr., Dan and James Gillis, Fred Behm, Wencel Shipek, Frank Kakes, Jos. Plzak, Jas. Fairchild, John Kramer, Jos. Cherf, Jas. Cherf, Frank Mattek, John Kasa, August Shaller, Jos. Stacek, Anton Stacek, Jake Koutnik, George Chadek, Wm. and Chris. Behm, Jas. Eckstein, Jos. Runstick, Abe Thompson, the Wendorf family, Novotnys, Nels Johnson, August Weber, Simon Bren- ner and Frank Metcalf were early settlers.
The settlers came principally from Manitowoc and Kewaunee Counties, Wisconsin.
The first community was Melnik, where Joseph Du- chac erected the first saw mill on the south bank of the Eau Claire river on section 21. This afforded the settlers a means of sawing logs and using the lumber to erect houses, barns and other buildings.
A school was erected the first year of organization, 1883. James Rine, Fred Behm and Joseph Duchac contributed to the erection of the building in several worthy ways. James Rine, Jas. Gillis and Fred Behm were Clerk, Treasurer and Director respectively of the first district school board. Miss Eva Woodward was the first teacher in the district.
Thirteen pupils attended the first school session. The school was a small frame building. The first teacher received $30.00 per month for her services. The school was remodeled and additions were made in 1910. In January, 1920, the old school burned. The villagers made frantic efforts to save some of the school furniture and books. School was commenced in the modern brick school house completed at a cost of $14,000 in 1920. Members of the school board then were: Frank Chadek, Clerk; James Mattek, Di- rector and Jos. Runstick, Treasurer. The school is a credit to the district, being one of the best in Lang- lade County.
Manufacture of lumber and agriculture were the principal occupations of the first settlers. Joseph Du- chac operated his saw mill and a general store at Meln- ik until 1885. He permitted Hoxie & Mellor to cut logs at his Melnik mill, and then the plant was sold to Dan and James Gillis, who came to Neva township from Menominee, Michigan. The Gillis Brothers op- erated the mill and general store until 1890, when James Cherf, associated with his brother, Louis Cherf, purchased it. They dismantled the mill in 1900.

HISTORY OF LANGLADE COUNTY.
The old boilers still rest on the banks of the Eau Claire river and remnants of the old track of Fraker & Graves, loggers and lumber operators, is still visible. This track connected the Melnik mill with Deerbrook. Cars of lumber were hauled by horses to the main track of the Milwaukee, Lake Shore & Western railroad.
The old general store opened first by Joseph Duchac was taken over by Joseph Shimon and John Shimon, who operated a saloon and a store. Charles Stein- fest then came into possession of the store and he was followed by Frank Chadek, who converted it into a garage, in 1916. In 1920 Arthur Nonnemacher and Dan Hale purchased the property from Frank Chadek. They now use the building for garage purposes.
The Henry Jacobus store in this district was first used as a store by Frank Jachl, who came to District No. 2 from the south. After operating a year he sold to James Rine, Jr., who in turn sold to Albert Bubholtz, who then after a short while sold to Henry Jacobus. A store was operated by James Cherf, where the Northern Cheese Factory, J. W. Mattek, prop., is now located. Mr. Mattek bought the factory site from Frank Mattek, who had purchased from Mr. Cherf. The store was operated about two years.
In 1914 the blacksmith shop, conducted by the late Joseph Chadek was burned. He was the first black- smith in the district.
The saloon in the district was erected by James White and is now run by Joseph Diska. The North- ern Cheese factory is the only one in the district, lo- cated on section 21.
The town hall is now located in District No. 2 on section 2.
There are a few log cabins still used in the district. A cemetery is located on section 22 in the district. This is the property of the Bohemian Cemetery Asso- ciation organized December 8, 1892. The cemetery is located on the SE 1/4 of the NW 1/4 of section 22. First officers were Wencel Rine, Valcav Rine and Wen- cel Krainik.
The early settlers can recall the proposed route of the Milwaukee, Lake Shore & Western road through the district in 1881.
Many of the pioner settlers came to this district in ox carts or in railroad box cars.
CHIPPEWA INDIAN VILLAGE.
Before the white settlers came into District No. 2, a tribe of Chippewa Indians were settled on the east side of Bass Lake on section 10. Another band were settled on the west bank of the Eau Claire river in the northeast quarter of section 15. They lived is rude log huts and cabins. After the white settlers came the Indians traded at their stores, sold blue berries, birch bark baskets and evergreen to the people. They also worked in the saw mill at Melnik. On the Nels John- son farm in District No. 2, many old implements such as knives, bone needles, arrow heads and crude utensils have been found by Nels Johnson, owner of the prop- erty. The Indians on section 10 hunted game and also fished in the Eau Claire river, which connects with
Sucker Creek. These tribes were very aggressive. On section 15, Joseph Duchac, first town chairman, re- calls an old fortress. The logs of which it was construct- ed were ten feet high. An earthworks was thrown against the logs to aid in defensive operations of the Indians. The Indians here would canoe the Eau Claire river or follow the trails on its banks to Scho- field, Marathon County from where they could go down the Wisconsin river. This is the same route used by early fur traders in Langlade County, who canoed to St. Louis, Mo.
A post office was once established at Melnik.
PRESENT INDUSTRIES.
Present industries are: Northern Cheese factory, Neva Garage, Star Soft Drink parlors and a store own- ed by Henry Jacobus.
The Eau Claire river runs through sections 14, 15, 21 and 22 in this district.
DISTRICT NO. 3.
LITTLE CHICAGO DISTRICT, Neva township was re-organized May 21, 1915. It comprises section 1, 2, 3, 4, 7, 8, 9, 1/2 of section 10, 1/2 of section 11, 1/2 of sec- tion 12, 18, 17 and 1/2 of section 16. It is familiarly known as Little Chicago District because of the many settlers who moved to it from Chicago.
Joseph Krause, Anton Honzik, Martin Schacher, E. R. Whitmore, Joseph Honzik, R. Olmsted, Frank Borth, James Nelson, were among the very early settlers. Others early but more recent than the first were: Frank Kletzka, Paul Masek, James Masek, Jonas Gleich, James Nelson, and W. Tesarek.
The Little Chicago district was first created in 1912. The first frame school was moved to the school site, southeast quarter of section 8 in 1886. The frame school served the little citizens, eager to acquire knowl- edge, for many years until 1912. A new school house was then erected of brick at a cost of $2,250.00. A. O. Sherwood of Antigo was the contractor. James Nel- son, Frank Schacher, and Emil Honzik were then school officers.
The district is a little stony and rolling, but produc- tivity is very good. It was once heavily timbered with pine.
Teachers since 1912 have been: Eva Schultz, Alice Doucette, Rose Stacek, Ernestine Kopeschka, Alvina Dvorak, Ione Preston, Irene McCormick, Marie Robin- son.
The C. & N. W. Ry. serves the district with a spur track from Kempster. Loggers use the track for loading purposes. Loggers in the district are Theo- dore Lenzner, Frank Schacher, Fred Honzik, Frank Keller, Frank Kletzka, and James Masek.
Five young men went from the district to serve this country in the World War.
Kempster and Neva are the nearest trading posts. It is a new community that has fair chances for de- velopment.
There are 150 people residents or 27 families in the

community. The Little Chicago Grange was for many years a force for good in the community.
JOINT DISTRICT NO. 3.
DEERBROOK DISTRICT consists of sections 19, 20, 3/4 of 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33 and 1/2 of 34. Most of the pioneer settlers of this district emigrated to America from Bohemia, settled at Manitowoc and then pur- chased land in Neva township, Langlade County. The first settlers in this district were: Wencel Smetana, John Novak and Charles Mosher. They came in 1879. It took the first two pioneers seven days to come from Manitowoc to Neva township with a pair of oxen. All of their wordly belongings were hauled in the rough wagon that trudged over the poor roads. In the night these sturdy settlers camped by the wayside as there were no hotels or taverns as convenient as today. Oth- er early settlers were : Albert Chadek, Fred Schwartz, John Barta, Albert Barta, W. J. Mattek, Joseph Cherf, Jr., James Mattek, James Cherne, and Fred Jacobus.
The chief settlements in the district are Neva Corn- ers and Deerbrook. Neva Corners is at the meeting point of five well travelled highways. The first gener- al store was erected at Neva Corners by W. J. Mattek. He still operates the store. There is also a state bank at Neva corners (for more data refer to Banks and Finance). Germanson Brothers and the farmers as a cooperative body conduct cheese factories in the dis- trict. The Germanson Brothers are also in the cream- ery business. There is a saloon at Neva Corners also. The first saloon was erected by James Cherf, Jr. Jos. Benishek conducted the first cheese factory in the township on the NE 1/4 of the NE 1/4 of section 32. W. J. Mattek, Wencel Smetana and Andrew Kaplanek ope- rate soft drink parlors.
Albert Smetana and Giles Rynders operated meat markets in the district, but Henry Jacobus is the only proprietor of a meat market at present. W. J. Mat- tek and Wencel Smetana are proprietors of two large dance halls.
Ed. Masek and Adolph Novak are the two black- smiths in the district. In 1896 a German Lutheran church was erected on section 28. The late Rev. A. Grimm of Antigo was first Pastor.
Deerbrook, situated on the main line of the Chicago & North Western railway, was named by Edward Daw- son, timber cruiser and prospector, who, while camping near the Eau Claire river watched the deer "drink his fill" each morning just as the sun peeped over the hills proclaiming a new day. Thus he called it "Deer- brook," by which it has since been known.
In 1898 a number of farmers of Neva township or- ganized a cooperative corporation and erected a grist mill and saw mill at Deerbrook. They operated un- til 1910 when they went into bankruptcy. The entire plant and property was then purchased by Hirt Broth- ers, present owners.
Present industries are : Hirt's saw and grist mill, Fred Weigert, store, post office, Henry Jacobus store, Deerbrook Hotel, Service Garage, all at Deerbrook.
The first school was erected in 1883 on the John Novak farm, and after many years of service burned down. The next school was built at what is now the
Deerbrook sand pit in the old platted village of Reeves. The school burned and the school children attended school at Neva Corners school in the same district (there were then two schools in the district). In 1904 the present commodious school was erected on section 29. It is a first class state graded school of brick construction, two stories, and one of the finest in the county. The old school at Neva Corners is still stand- ing. The progress of the district can be noted by comparing it with the present school.
Thomas Chadek for years prior to 1885 conducted a general store and blacksmith shop on section 29 in this district. The town board met for many sessions in "Chadek's Hall."
This district has a Catholic church and a German Lutheran church. Rev. A. Grimm, deceased, was the first Pastor of the Lutheran church. The Catholic church was organized by the then Pastor of St. Mary's church of Antigo. A Catholic and Lutheran cemetery are located in the district.
In 1886, J. Harlow and H. B. Luce of Wausau erect- ed a saw mill in the district on section 30. It ope- rated successfully for a number of years and was sold to Frank Dexter, who in 1898 sold to John Randall, Louis Novotny and Anton Jichi. The mill burned down in 1900. It was never rebuilt.
DISTRICT NO. 5.
SPRINGBROOK DISTRICT is as old as other districts discussed, yet not it
is equally as progressive. It was organized in
1904 after discussion, pro and con, was heard at the home of Frank Kakes, section 25. Portions of Districts No. 1, 2 and 3 were detached to make District No. 5. Thus the district includes sections 36, 35, 1/2 of section 34, 1/2 of section 27, 26, 25, 24, 1/2 of 13, 1/4 of section 23. The area of the district is 6 3-4 square miles.
In the spring of 1905 after due notice was presented to the electorate land was purchased from J. Klapste and in the fall of the same year a modern school house was erected on the SE 1/4 of the SE 1/4 of section 26. Accordingly the school district was named Springbrook because of that stream meandering through sections 25, 35 and 36, near the school house and in the district. The first school officers were: B. Lukas, Director; W. J. Kramer, Clerk and J. Wenzel, Treasurer. Present school officers are: Mrs. J. Wenzel, Clerk; Frank Plzak, Jr., Clerk and Jos. F. Klapste, Treasurer.
Teachers thus far have been : Frances Schooly, Pearl Davis, Jessie Trusdell, Irene Day, Lottie Brazzard, Mae Van Vleet, Erna Below, Jennie Lade, Harriet Con- gleton, Miss Melbrecht, Rose Friebel and Alvina Dvorak.
The cheese factory is operated by Mr. Plzak, sec- tion 25.
Early settlers are: Frank Plzak, John Cherf, Frank Kakes, Jas. Pavlicek, George Gallenberg, Jos. Klapste, Harry Klapste, J. Klapste, Robert Rine, Jas. Pac- er, J. A. Wenzel, E. Nickels, John Behm. Many set- tlers are interested in the Neva Mutual Fire Insurance Co.
The district has splendid roads and modern farms, is well equipped and progressive.

HISTORY OF LANGLADE COUNTY.
CHAPTER XLIII. Norwood Township No. 30 N., R. 12 E.
Lakes and Streams-Government Survey-Organization of Norwood-Township Officials 1881-1923 -Pioneer Settlers-Early Industries-Riverside-Phlox-Maple Grove-Apple Grove-Sugar Bush-Mayking-Twintownship and Mayking Granges.
Norwood township is located in the extreme south central part of Langlade County and embraces the en- tire congressional township 30 north, Range 12 East, hence is six miles square and contains 36 full sections. It is bounded on the north by Antigo and Polar town- ships, on the east and south by Shawano County (Me- nominee Indian Reservation) and on the west by Roll- ing township. The United States government survey was inaugurated in Norwood by James Winthrow, No- vember 22, 1854, and was completed December 12, 1854. The township was originally covered with a dense growth of white and Norway pine, maple, red birch, elm and basswood. The general surface of the township is somewhat rolling with small level areas. The Red river, which received its name from its red bottom clay, arises in the northwest corner and flows southeast through the township, emptying into Moose Lake in section 16 and flowing through sections 14, 15, 22, 23, 25, 26 and 36. A small rivulet flows from Demlow's lake through sections 2, 3, 11 and 14 empty- ing into Red river. Trout Creek flows through sec- tions 1, 2, 12 and 13. Mud Brook runs through the southwestern part in the Maple Grove district.
With the exception of the northwest part in a strip running through sections 6, 7, 17, 18, 19, 30 and a small area at the southeast end of Moose Lake, Norwood soil is one vast area of Gloucester silt loam, rolling phase. In the region mentioned as the northwest part Glou- cester sandy loam is found. Peat is found in small isolated areas in but few places.
ORGANIZATION OF NORWOOD.
Norwood township was once a part of Hutchinson township, Shawano County, and also of the old town of Mill, Shawano township. It was not a part of the orig- inal New County, detached from Oconto County in 1879. By the act of the state legislature, creating Langlade County, February 19, 1881, Norwood town- ship was attached to Langlade County.
