From Simmon,' History of Geneva, the following information is gleaned:

RAND, MENALLY CO.

SUMMER RESIDENCE OF INO. E. BURTON, LAKE GENEVA, WIS.

" In the winter of 1844. the Legislature granted a charter, incorporating as the . Village of Geneva' the whole of fractional Section 36, of Geneva, with the above-mentioned five acres from Lyons. At the first election under this charter, Charles M. Goodsell was elected President of the village, and a majority of the Trustees were, like him, sterling temperance men. James Simmons was also elected to the office of Village Clerk. which proved very lucrative to him, his salary-embodied in a Boston rocking chair having proved sufficient to support him ever since that time, and still remaining in his possession to sustain his declining years.

" This charter invested the Village Board with full control over the sale of intoxicating liquors, and they proceeded to exercise that power by passing an ordinance entirely prohibiting the sale or giving away of anything which could intoxicate, within the limits of our village, and prescribing a heavy penalty for a violation of its provisions. This ordinance, if we mistake not, considerably antedated the famous Maine law. It was published so as to take effect a day or two before the 4th of July, 1945. Thomas D. Warren, then keeper of the Lake House, having

continued to sell as usual on that day, was immediately prosecuted therefor. The trial came on just at nightfall, before Loren Stacy, Esq., at his log house in Hudson, on the farm now owned by S. H. Stafford. After a session continuing all night, attended by the usual difficulty of in- ducing witnesses to acknowledge that they knew whisky by its smell, taste, or effects, the jury found him guilty, and he was duly fined. He immediately took an appeal to the District Court, and the case lingered there until a change of village administration took place, and then died a natural death. This was, we believe, the only prosecution under that ordinance.

" In 1845, the village charter was amended and the control of licenses taken away from the Village Board and restored to the Town Supervisors; those who knew what was good for them- selves, and understood the far-reaching beneficence of free whisky, being suspicious that fanat- icism might at some time again break out at the polls. The right to levy taxes was also taken from the board and given to the voters at the annual elections. For about eleven years, a masterly inactivity characterized the policy of the village authorities, during which the village records were either lost or destroyed. R. W. Warren, Benjamin E. Gill, John M. Nelson and Anthony Dobbs are the only Presidents now remembered as having served during that period."

A new charter was granted by act of the Legislature. March 28, 1856, which was in many particulars amended in 1867 and that charter, so amended remained in force until April 2. 1879. On that day, a special village election was held, pursuant to a notice duly given by the Trustees. to determine whether the village should retain its old charter, or become re-incorporated under the general statute for the incorporation of villages (Chap. 40. R. S. 1878), and a majority of electors having voted in favor of re-incorporation, the special charter became superseded by the general law, which is now the fundamental law of the village: and the first election was held under that law on the first Tuesday in May, 1879. This change in the law by which it is gov- erned did not affect its name, which is the VILLAGE OF GENEVA, nor its boundaries, which are described in the amended charter of 1867.

The first village meeting was held at the Lake House, May 5, 1856.

The old corporation seems to have been in existence at the time, as the record reads:

" The following Board of Trustees, as it existed before the passage of the above act (of in- corporation) were present, to wit: A. D. Colton, Daniel Merritt and John Beamsley, Trustees; and J. T. Abell, Village Clerk -- who, having severally qualified, acted as Inspectors of said elec- tion."

The following officers were elected: Trustees, E. D. Richardson, President; B. E. Gill, Daniel Locke, C. Miller. C. L. Oatman; Clerk, John T. Abell: Justice of the Peace, J. T. Abell: Assessor, S. H. Stafford: Treasurer, E. Andrus; Constables, D. W. Sherman, William Jewitt.
