It is bounded on the north by the town of Forest, on the east by the town of Greenwood, on the south by Richland county and on the west by the town of Stark. The surface in some parts of the town is very rough and broken, while in others it is quite level. l'here is a large amount of timber distributed over the surface of this town, some of the best lands in the town had not been cleared up, even as late as 1884. The western part of the town is watered by Warner creek and its branches. The southern part by Bear and the south by Pine river, which takes its rise in the town. In 1884 this was strictly a rural town, which contained neither a postoffice or store.

William Dixon first visited this county in 1855, and made a permanent settlement in Union town, in 1856. He was born in England, Ang. 7, 1817. His parents were of Scotch nativity, and had lived in England but a short time. In 1828 they emigrated to America and settled in Oneida Co., N. Y., where William grew to manhood. At the age of seventeen he was apprenticed to a blacksmith to learn the trade, and served four and one-half years. After working as a "jour" for a short time, he went to Troy, N. Y and opened a machine shop, which he operated two years. After two years at his trade in Fultonville, Montgomery county. he went to Waterville, Oneida county, and there bought town property. Failing health induced him to seek a new climate, and in 1855 he visited Wisconsin. Being well pleased with the county of Vernon, he entered land in town 13 north, of range 1 west, now known as Union town. He returned to New York and spent the winter, coming out again in the spring of 1856. A year and a half later he went back to New York, this time to dispose of property there.

John B. Eastman was one of the pioneers of Vernon county. Hle was born among the rock ribbed hills of New Hampshire, Feb. 6, 1824. When six years of age, he accompanied hix father's family to Vermont, settling at Norwich, where John was reared and educated. When nineteen years of age, he went to Lowell, Mass., and was there employed as a watchman on the Merrimac corporation for two years. Four years later, he went to Clintonville, now Clinton, Mass., and secured a like situation, which he held about two years. Hethen suffered a lameness in the foot, and was disabled from work until 1850. In that year, he returned to Vermont on a visit, and again coming to Lowell, open a variety store. He continued this for two years, then gave the charge of the store to his wife, who had been his assistant, and embarked in the restaurant business. Ile disposed of his stock in the fall of 1855, and started west to find a new location for a home. He stopped a short time with an aunt in Green Co., Wis., and from there, his unele accompanied him to Bad Ax, (now Ver- non) county, where he bought land on sections I and 12, in what is now the town of Union.

He arrived at Albany, Green Co., Wis., on the 11th day of April, and sometime in May, his brother, Ebenezer, and family, arrived from New York.

new home, and arrived the first day in October. They stopped over night with J. C. Cooper, and in the morning removed their household goods to their own cabin. A few nights after it com- meneed to rain very hard, and the water poured down inside as well as out. Mr. Eastman held an umbrella over the children; about this time a voice, calling for admittance, was heard above the storm. Its owner was admitted and proved to be George Jepson. The storm lasted the en- tire night, and the new-comer was forced to stand upright under a piece of bark during the long hours till the dawn. The entire assem- blage were very damp the next day, but the sun came out, and with the wind as an assistant, soon dried their clothes, and no sickness or evil effects followed this long to be remembered drenching. Mr. Eastman commenced to build a house for himself as soon as possible, and moved his family into it on the 19th of Novem- ber. On that same day snow commenced falling, and in the morning the ground was covered with a mantle of white, two feet in depth. Be- fore this disappeared, other snows followed, and through the winter measured five feet in depth, not entirely disappearing until spring. The new-comers passed their first winter in the rude structure of logs, and tried to be happy and con- tented. When spring opened, John B. com- menced clearing his land, which was heavily timbered, and finally succeeded, by hard and unceasing toil, in improving a fine farm. The family resided in their first log house until 1875, when he erected the present frame residence. In early life, Mr. Eastman kept a stock of goods at his house, and carried on quite a trade with the earlier settlers. He was elected town clerk, trustee, justice of the peace, and filled various other offices. He died Ang. 21, 1876, leaving a large circle of acquaintances tomourn his death.
