DELAVAN VILLAGE.
The village had its birth nearly cotemporancously with the town. Its past life has already been shown in the account of the settlement of Mr. Phoenix and the building of the mill on Turtle Creek. The village itself grew as a trade center for the surrounding country from the time Mr. Phoenix first made his claim.
In January, 1846. the village contained six blachsmiths, two wheelwrights, two saddle and harness-makers, one sash-maker, nine carpenters and joiners, one fanning-mill shop, two paint- ers, two cabinet-makers, nine boot and shoe makers, two tailors, three physicians, five lawyers, two land surveyors, six dry-goods stores, two groceries, one tavern, one plow factory, five minis- ters of the Gospel-one Baptist. two Presbyterian, one Methodist, one Episcopalian-forty-three dwelling houses, sixty-three families and 400 people: one common and one select school, two temperance societies, of which three-fourths of the adults in town were members.
The village was incorporated by act of the Legislature in 1855-56. The limits as defined
665
HISTORY OF WALWORTH COUNTY.
in the act of incorporation were: The whole of Section 18, the west half of Section 17, the north- west quarter of Section 20 and the north half of Seetion 19, Township No. 2 north, of Range 6 east, being one and a half miles square. The first charter was obtained during the session of the Legislature in the winter of 1857-58. This charter was amended March 25, 1867, and again March 6, 1868, and, in 1880, a charter under the general laws of the State was obtained. The village was first laid out in 1841 by S. F. and Henry Phoenix, Edward Norris doing the surveying. Additions have since been made by Ann Phoenix, in 1846; T. K. Phoenix, in 1852; Passage, Aram and Downie, consisting of 134 acres, in 1854; L. E. Downie, in 1856, and J. B. Devendorf, in 1858. It is situated in the best portion of the county, which, as a county, is only second for the value and variety of its agricultural products and first in the State for the amount of its products, proportionate to its area. The first house in the village, as before stated, was built by S. F . Phoenix near the southeast corner of Block 15, in Terrace street. Among the first improvements of the village was a flouring-mill, which will be spoken of hereafter; a church, built by the Baptists, near the present one, on Block 16, in 1841, the first in the village; a hotel, built by Israel Stowel, on Block 9, in 1839, also the first in the village. together with many others.
The first physician was Henderson Hunt, who settled in I841, while S. S. Barlow, afterward Attorney General of the State, attended to all legal questions to the entire satisfaction of the one side and utter disgust of the other in every suit at law.
The first substantial brick building was built in 1842 by A. H. Taggart and George Passage, in which they opened a $4,000 stock of goods, consisting of a general assortment. This build- ing is now standing where it was built, on Lot 11, Block 14, and is used as a dwelling house.
The first blacksmith was Alonzo MeGraw, who built a shop and commenced business in 1840. This shop was two stories high, the upper story being used for some time for a church and school- room. It is now standing and used for a barn and storehouse.
The first permanent pastor was Rev. Henry Topping, a Baptist, who came in 1839.
The first merchants of the village were the Phoenix Bros., Thomas Topping, Hezekiah Wells, Caleb Croswell, George Passage, A. H. Taggart, N. M. Harrington and J. D. Monell, the first store being opened by the Phoenix Bros. and the second by Thomas Topping.
The first banking and exchange office was opened by N. M. Harrington in the spring of 1853. This was the first in the county, as well as in the village.
Less than forty-five years ago, the voice of civilization, culture, education and refinement could not be heard where now are busy streets, bounded with neat places of business, art and progress on either side. The beautiful elevations where then the untutored savage walked with princely mien, elad in native simplicity, caring for naught but present physical want, are now locations of churches, school and houses of refinement. The Indian trail has given place to the iron rail that bears to our seaboards the product of industry and toil, and the wild screech of the juvenile savage is succeeded by the merry song of the school-boy. Forty years ago, the pride of the then new town consisted in a grist-mill, a hotel of a small degree, one or two stores, a blacksmith-shop and perhaps a dozen dwellings, accommodating not over a hundred souls. Now she boasts of improved walks, streets and residences; of an execellnt and popular mill; of a cheese factory ; of the celebrated " Pump and Wind-Mill Works;" of the Deaf and Dumb Asy- Ium, and of numerous other works of manufacture and enterprise, that have done so much in adding to the growth and prosperity of the village. A two-story schoolhouse and five churches are proof that the people have not been asleep as to the wants of educational or spiritual im- provement, and the civic and social relations among the inhabitants are eminently harmonious. Two good hotels now furnish accommodations to strangers and the traveling public, and Delavan, with its ereck and lake inducements to the sporting man has become a desirable locality to re- euperate the overgrown energies of sedentary life.
