JAMES HOLDEN, deceased. He was the earliest pioneer of La Grange, and though not the first white man to discover the beautiful prairie which he had the honor of naming " Heart Prairie," he was the first to effect a settlement on its borders, which he did in the early spring of 1837. Mr. Holden was born in Middlesex, Vt., Ang. 5, 1813, and was the son of Josiah and Betsey (Leland) Holden. When about 20 years of age (his father having died), he went to Boston, Mass., and engaged in Faneuil Hall Market, where he remained about four years. In 1836. he left Boston for the West, to seek a home in that promising region that was then attracting such universal attention. Chicago was his objective point ; from there he prospected in Illinois, but not finding that country entirely to his taste, he came north into Wisconsin (February, 1837). On reaching one of the fertile prairies of Sugar Creek, Walworth Co., he

830

made his claim. As he traveled afoot, with no other outfit than his rifle and blanket, it was necessary for him to return to the settled portion of Illinois for a team, tools and supplies, which he did. About a month later (or in March), he reached his elaim, his outfit consisting of an ox team drawing a eart, the wheels of which were made of two sections of a large log ; holes bored in the eenter accomodated the rude axle, a pole served for a tongue, while a dry goods box did duty for a wagon box. Very much to his dis- appointment, he found his claim "jumped " and lost to him. However, other good traets of land were lying ready for the taking. Maj. John Davis, the first white settler of Sugar Creek, offered to pilot him to a beautiful prairie to the northward, which he did, and Mr. Holden traversed the fertile region of Heart Prairie, which he found without an inhabitant. Ascending what is now known as Lone Tree Bluff, he was struck with the great natural beauty of the prairie. Its peenliar shape suggested the name which he then gave it, of " Heart Prairie," a name which it still bears and by which is widely known-one of the most fertile regions of Wisconsin. He selected the south half of See. 32, of what is now La Grange, and the north half of Sec. 5, Sugar Creek, making 640 acres in all. This combined prairie and woodland, and extended his possessions to a beautiful little lake on the south. It was near this lake be built his first log cabin. He soon after took it to pieces and moved it to See. 32, near where he subsequently built his com- modious house, which is still occupied by his family. He soon procured a young cow, the first brought to the prairie. At the land sale of February, 1839, he bought the two half sections which he had selected, and there being now no further danger of elaim-jumpers, he began to think of perfecting another impor- tant piece of business. So returning to his old home in the East, he spent a couple of years, and at the expiration of that time was married (Oet. 6, 1841), to Patience, daughter of Cyrus Barber, of Barre, Vt. The young couple set out at once for their home in the West. The original log house was only 12x14 feet in size, but additions were made to it as the increasing wants of a fast-growing family demanded, until eventually the old house was superseded by the fine structure that is now the home of the family. Seven children were born to them-Carrie B., William J., Jennie N., Helen E., Mary A., Emily C. and Jessie F. The eldest (Carrie B.) died, aged 20 years ; William J. married Miss Mary C. Owen, and lives in La Grange ; Helen E. is the wife of Mahlon Bolser, of Ackley, Iowa : Mary A. is Mrs. Alfred Fox, of Rockford, Ill .; Emily C. is the wife of Chester Lyman, of Richmond. Mr. Holden, though not a member of any church, was always active in aiding the eause of religion, and was regular in his atten- danee at the Methodist Church on the prairie. Liberal in his views, respecting religion, fearless and out- spoken in his opinions, yet he was considerate of the opinions of others, and always held in the highest respect what he believed to be the honest convictions of religious people. He was strictly temperate, using neither tobaeco or intoxicating liquors; he tanght a good code of morals by his example as well as precept. In all the relations of life, he proved himself a man worthy the love and veneration of his family, and the esteem and confidence of his neighbors. Fair-minded, candid and honest, he seemed to do right because he loved the right, and not because he expected any reward for it, directly or indirectly. He died Sunday morning, Feb. 22, 1880. The memory of his virtues is cherished in the hearts of his family and friends.

WILLIAM McDOUGALD, farmer, Sec. 29; P. O Heart Prairie ; has 175 acres of land ; settled in Walworth Co. in the spring of 1837 ; he was born in Masonville, Delaware Co., N. Y., Nov. 20, 1815; is the son of Lochlin and Belinda ( Beals) McDougald ; was brought up a farmer, and came to Wisconsin in 1837, arriving in Milwaukee March 31 of that year ; he proceeded to Walworth Co. and made a claim in what is now Sugar Creek, at the land sales of February, 1839 ; he bought 240 acres in the town of La Grange. The following year he made his home on this land, Sec. 29, where he has continued to reside until this date ; he was married in Muskego, Waukesha Co., Wis., May 10, 1838, to Miss Sarah Tucker, having to go to Milwaukee for the marriage license. Mrs. McDougald was born in Tompkins, Delaware Co., N. Y., went to Wisconsin with her aunt in August, 1836 ; a family of eight children blessed this union, six of whom survive-Justin died aged 7 years ; Persis is the wife of Anson D. Phelps, of Cherokee, lowa ; William H., married Eugene Foster, of Sugar Creek ; Edwin and Edward are twins, of La Grange ; Levi died at the age of 18 years ; George, the youngest, married Bertha M. Peterson, and lives at the old home- stead. Mr. McDongald has held various local offices ; has been Justice of the Peace twenty years, and during that time he has never failed to effect a settlement in all cases brought before him without having a trial. There is probably no parallel case in the State where a Justice has held office so many years with similar experience. Mr. McDougald and all of his sons are Republicans, casting six votes in all. The father was originally a member of the Free-Soil party ; on the formation of the Republican party he took an active part in its organization in La Grange, and has since been an earnest advocate of its principles ; being impressed with religious convictions in his youth, he hecame a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church, and for the past fifty-two years, has been an active supporter of Christian principles in that denomina- tion ; coming to this favored locality in so early a day, he wisely secured a large tract of land, and has thus been enabled to assist his sons to the possessions of many fine farms. The aggregate acreage of the fami- ly equals nearly 800 acres of the finest land in the county. Mr. McDougald lost his worthy helpmeet, who had participated in his labors and cares, and shared and enjoyed his successes, April 10, 1881 ; her five sons (all grown) were living at home at the time of her death. The daughter, married, and living in Iowa, was unable to be present at the funeral. Mrs. McDougald was raised in the Presbyterian Church, but in the absence of the privileges of that church, she cast in her lot with the M. E. Church, to which her husband belonged ; her failing health during the winter admonished her " that the time of her depart- ure was at hand." When, at last, the summons came, she passed suddenly but peacefully to the church triumphant. She was retiring and not demonstrative in her religious life, faithful in her household duties. and in the moral culture of her children. An affectionate husband and loving, dutiful children, will greatly miss her, but they mourn not as those without hope.

EDWARD and EDWIN MCDOUGALD ; P. O. Heart Prairie ; twin brothers ; are the sons of Will- iam and Sarah MeDougald; they were born in La Grange, Oct. 12, 1846; grew to manhood on their father's farm, and then started in business together as farmers in their native town ; they now have a fine farm of 250 acres of land, all but 10 acres of which lies on Sec. 29; Edward was married in La Grange, March 15, 1882, to Miss Nettie Griffin, daughter of George P. and Wealthy Griffin.

Vely, and lives in Rock Co. ; Jared died in 1863, aged 23 years ; Amina died at the age of 21 ; Lucelia married Gilbert Nickerson, of Whitewater ; Horace was a soldier of the late war, a member of an Illinois Regiment; he is married, and practicing medicine in Iowa ; a legal separation occurred between Mr. Patchin and wife June 18, 1866; he was married again Oct. 21, 1866, to Mrs. Mary I. Long, of Whitewater. One child was horn to them-a daughter, named Minnie. Mrs. Patchin died Dec. 14, 1870. Mr. Patchin was married to his present wife in 1871 ; her maiden name was Sarah R. Hornbeck, she is a native of Ohio. Three children were born of present mar- riage-Jay, Ray, and Mary.
