HISTORY OF WALWORTH COUNTY.

TOWN OF SHARON.

ORGANIZATION.

When the county of Walworth was first divided into towns, by act of the Territorial Legis- lature, approved January 2, 1838, the territory now constituting the town of Sharon was a portion of the town of Delavan: it so remained until the early part of 1839, when Towns No. 1, in Ranges 15 and 17 east, were set off from Delavan, and formed a separate town by the name of Walworth. By an act of the Territorial Legislature, approved March 21, 1843, Town 1 north, in Range 15 east, was set off from Walworth, and formed into a separate town and called Sharon. The first town meeting in accordance with this act was held at the house of Josiah Topping, on the 4th day of the succeeding month.

NATURAL FEATURES,

The surface of the town of Sharon is rolling. There; are about two thousand acres of marsh land, principally in the southeastern part, and on Sections 4 and 11, together with a number of small marshes in various portions of the town. Turtle Prairie extends into the town some distance, covering principally Sections 1 and 2. Burr-oak openings are scattered promis- cuously throughout nearly the whole town. On Seetion 29 and on Section 22 are the head- waters of two small streams, which flow in a northerly direction, and. uniting in the southern part of Section 7, form the South Branch of Turtle Creek, which, with many a circuitous bend. flows in a general northerly direction, and leaves the town on Section 6, near the village of Allen's Grove. Near this branch of Turtle Creek, and on Section 7, are large quarries of lime- stone. The Piscasaw Creek rises on Section 24, and flows almost straight south, leaving the town on Seetion 36.

As an agricultural town, Sharon is not equaled by any town in the county, the soil being generally excellent in quality, of a heavy clay loam on the higher lands, with rich alluvial de- posits in the lower lying bottoms. The timber is similar to that of the surrounding towns, being in the main white and burr oak, interspersed with hiekory, poplar, ash and other indigenous varieties. The streams already mentioned. with their small tributaries, constitute the water supply.

While wheat and the other small grains, such as were mainly raised in early days, are still raised to considerable extent, the attention of the farmers during the later years has been more devoted to the raising of stock, hay, wheat and corn. The inhabitants of Sharon are principally Americans, with a generous sprinkling of Germans and Norwegians. The social and religious condition of the town is good, and excellent schools are maintained. The population in 1875 was 1,989; it is now 1,956.

PIONEER HISTORY.

To John Reeder is due the credit of having been the first settler in this town. He located on Section 27. in what is now Reeder's Grove, as early certainly as in February. 1837. He remained here but a short time, and built a small log shanty. Mr. Reeder was an Englishman. and had his family with him. Good authority says "that, late one afternoon, Mr. Reeder no- ticed two horses following up the old army trail that led across the county from the head of Geneva Lake, and about a mile north from where he had located. In a few moments afterward, he saw two men following the same trail and in the same direction. This led him to think that he probably had some neighbors in that vicinity: so, early the next morning, he started out to see if he could find them. He soon reached the present village of Darien, where he found and made the acquaintance of John Bruce and a companion, who were then engaged in erecting a small cabin. On the preceding night, their horses had broken loose, and they followed and canght them, and were the men that Mr. Reeder had seen." The same authority says that at one time, soon after he located here, Mr. Reeder went to Chicago for provisions. He was delayed

longer than he expected on account of bad roads, etc., and when he returned his family had been for four days with nothing to eat but a few dry crusts of bread. Mr. Reeder did the first breaking in the town of Sharon. He afterward removed into the town of Walworth, where he resided until a few years ago, when he removed to the village of Delavan, where he died. Among the other early settlers who located in the town of Sharon are H. Smith Young, on See- tion 12: Robert Young, on Section 13: Timothy O'Connor, on Section 2: G. Langdon, on Sec- tion 6; Josiah Topping, on Section 1; J. H. Topping, on Section 2; Henry Darrow, on Section 6: George Winters, on Section 17: Theodore Wheeler, on Section 17: M. Winters, on Section 17: D. J. Best, on Section 17; Joseph Brown, on Section 17; J. MeKonkey, on Section 1; J. and M. Auchampach, on Section 10; M. B. Goff, on Seetion 1: Mr. Blake, on Section 28. Mr. Billings, on Section 9; J. Van Ostrand, on Section 33; H. and I. Case, on Seetion 14; D. Wil- cox, on Section 14; D. Wilcox, on Section 23; Mr. Condor, on Section 26; J. Bell, on Section 31; Henry Dennis, on Section 31; E. L. Reynolds, on Section 36: W. Van Wormer, on Section 1; A. Matteson, on Section 13: John Mereness, on Section 3; Mr. Kirby, on Section 33; and Derias Mason, on Section 13. Some of these persons are still living where they first located, while some have died, and others have moved away. The lands in Sharon are excellent, which invited emigration, and it is now one of the most respectable and wealthy farming towns in the county. A few incidents of the early settlement, which the old settlers yet like to laugh over, may be pardonable. It is said that money was scarce among them in an early day, and one of the greatest hardships they had to endure was paying taxes. Potatoes were nearly as scarce as money. The first Collector discovered a hole of potatoes belonging to a person who had neg- lected to pay his taxes, and advertised a " potato hole " for sale. The tax-payers, before the day of sale, took the potatoes out and left the hole as advertised, to the great merriment of all but the Collector.

It is related again that D. J. Best and William P. Allen embarked in the mercantile busi- ness at a very early day, and with very little money. They were in need of goods, and accord- ingly went to Chicago and made application to Charles Walker for a stoek of goods on time. Mr. Walker, after looking the gentlemen over rather closely, and making some inquiries, finally said: "Gentlemen, I don't know you." Mr. Best, with his usual wit, quickly replied: " Neither do we know you, but we will take our chances if you will." It is needless to state that these gentlemen obtained all the goods they wished.

In the early settlement of the country, farmers from Darien and Turtle Prairie put in their winters hunting timber from Government land in Sharon, and many of them yet say that they worked harder for "Uncle Sam" during the winters than they did for themselves. The settlers of Sharon finally became somewhat indignant at these proceedings. A new settler finally eame in and commenced the erection of a house, but could get no lumber for rafters or roof. Some of the older settlers said to him one evening: " We can help you some, as there is a big log on a sled by the side of the road up by G -- 's place, that L -- S -- , from Turtle Prairie, could not draw. Now, we will take our 'stags,' and you put your horses on, and we will soon have some lumber for you." They accordingly drew the log to Pierce's saw-mill, rolled it over all the logs in the log-way, had it sawed, and drew the lumber home. They then drew the sled back where they found it; all this being done before L -- S --- came back in the morning. L -- S -- , a good-natured fellow, when he arrived, said: "Well. boys, you have played smart, hain't you? Now, let me tell you that hereafter you will have to load your logs."

The first mill was built on Section 7, on Turtle Creek, by a Joseph Pierce, in 1841. It is now owned by Pramer & Winters, and has two run of stone. Another small mill was built at Allen's Grove, on the same stream, but was run only a short time, as it never paid expenses.

The first church was built by the Lutherans, on Section 34, in 1848. This was moved into the village of Sharon in 1860.

The first school was taught in 1841. on Section 2, on Turtle Prairie. This school was taught in the first schoolhouse built in the town. during that year.

Two " neighborhoods " sprang up in the town of Sharon soon after it was first settled- South Grove and Sharon Corners. At Sharon Corners, the first regular store in the town was opened by M. Van Winters. Here also the first hotel was built, by J. Jones, at about the same time. The first post office in the town was established at this point in 1843, and Isaac Case

received the appointment as Postmaster. Various persons have held the position since, and in 1881 the office was discontinued.

At South Grove, a store was opened by D. J. Best in 1845, and a post office established during the same year, with Mr. Best as Postmaster. This office has continued under the ad- ministration of various persons until a few years ago, when it was also discontinued. Mr. Best made the first boots and shoes that were made in the town at this place.

These places have become almost extinct since the village of Sharon sprang up.

The first death in the town occurred in 1842, and was Michael Kilmartin. He was buried at South Grove.

The first frame house was built by D. J. Best, in the summer of 1842, and the first brick house was built by M. B. Goff, in 1843 or 1844.

OFFICIAL.

The town of Sharon, as before stated, was set off and organized as a town by special act of the Territorial Legislature, approved March 21, 1843.
