The city's yearly appropriation is one thousand seven hundred and fifty dollars. The library opened with two thousand three hundred volumes, of which six hundred and eighty-six were received from the library of 1899. At present the number of volumes is about four thousand. In its first year the circulation of books reached about twenty thousand volumes, and this rate has not since varied materially. The first and only president of the board of library directors is Mr. Allyn. Miss Laura F. Angell, too, has kept her post as librarian from the opening in 1908.
WATER WORKS.
Several springs were early known and were used for supplying men and beasts with clear, cool water. In 1892 it was found practicable to improve them and make them available for the whole city's use. Pumps, engine, tank and distributing mains were supplied, municipal bonds to the amount of forty

thousand dollars being issued for this purpose. The source of this water seems exhaustless and its wholesome quality has been tested by generations of men.
FIRE DEPARTMENT.
The old fire company at once prepared itself for highest efficiency. At present there are two hose companies and two hook and ladder companies, all well equipped and trained for their work. The several chiefs of the fire de- partment have been James Davidson 1894, Andrew J. Pramer 1895, Frank M. Stevens 1897, William T. Passage 1899. The first officers under the newer order were D. Bennett Barnes, foreman, with A. W. Pierce and George Fred Heminway as assistants; David T. Gifford, engineer, with Newton O. Francisco as assistant; Henry Gormley, hose captain, with George H. Sturte- vant and W. H. Decker as assistants; Charles J. Walton, secretary; Levi J. Nichols, treasurer. A fire company must have existed as long ago as 1861, for the late John Baptist Bossi (1831-1911) was for thirty-three years its treasurer.
DELAVAN GUARDS.
Sixty-one young men were organized April 26, 1880, as the Delavan Guards, and the company was assigned to the First Regiment of the Wiscon- sin National Guard, under Col. William B. Britton. of Janesville. Its first officers were Fred B. Goodrich captain, Charles T. Isham first lieutenant. Menson Vedder second lieutenant. The next captain was Horace L. Clark, and the third and last was Richard J. Wilson. Governor Rusk called this. with several other companies, into service at Milwaukee, in 1886, to pre- serve the peace and dignity of the state when these were threatened by the rioters of that year. The duty assigned to the company was that of guarding railway and manufacturers' property against lawless attack. The company's prompt obedience to call and soldierly conduct on duty were duly recognized at Madison, Milwaukee, and at home. Since 1889 10 report has been sent to the adjutant-general, and at or nearly that date the company must have been dissolved.
CITIES OF THE DEAD.
The growth of the village soon overtook and surrounded its first burying place. near the north end of Third street. Here were buried the bodies of Colonel Phoenix and of his brother and brother's wife, and one may read there a few other once familiar names, though most of the bodies have been removed. It is not here known when Spring Grove cemetery was laid out,

but it was not long before or after 1860. The place chosen is on high ground, naturally separated by a narrow valley from the homes of the living, and one side overlooks the spread of waters locally called Lake Como. One may find there a few graves of persons who had lived at Darien, Elkhorn, Richmond, Sugar Creek, and Walworth ; for this was for long a finer burial ground than any in adjacent towns. Its contour and its readily drained soil has made it practicable to build several family vaults. \ mausoleum was built at the gateway in 1911-12, containing one hundred and fifty crypts. Its materials are Bedford stone, marble, cement, and steel, and these so designed and wrought as to make the structure likely to defy the tooth of time for millen- niads to come. The cost was about forty thousand dollars.
By 1911 the conviction at Delavan was that she had outgrown the me- diaeval passenger house at the railway station, and appeal to the state's rail- way commission was so far effective that in the winter of 1911-12 a new house was built, across the track from the old one, with long and broad platforms of cement, and in most ways worthier of Delavan and more cred- itable to the railway management. It is not imposing, but it is convenient, comfortable, and clean, and less a cave of gloom than the old building. The street approaches are macadamized.
As at first platted the village was a small quadrangle east of the creek, to which Walworth avenne descends not too abruptly. Village growth was limited northwardly by the valley of the creek and the high-banked shore of Como, and hence began eastward and southward, on a broad and easily drained area. Then it crossed the valley, which at the avenue is not very wide, to the more quickly-rising westward ascent, at the top of which a few pleasant suburban blocks lie in front of the School for the Deaf, which looks southward. Further growth carried the city eastward on the Elkhorn road and southward across the railway tracks. Between east and south seems the likeliest direction for further expansion.
It has not been judged needful to mention specifically the various so- cieties for the furtherance of religion, morality, and culture of the finer arts, and the many affiliated societies ; nor to describe parks, public halls, Masonic temple, and many another evidence of public spirit and enlightened taste. All these and more in coming time may be presumed from even such inadequate sketch as is here made of a community possessed of the sinews of action and animated by the forward spirit of the ages, past, present. and to come. Delavan will at some time have its own history, compiled by one or more of its well trusted citizens and in just proportion from the invaluable personal knowledge of survivors of the sub-pioneer period.

WALWORTH COUNTY, WISCONSIN.
The village having been incorporated in 1855 an election of village officers, April 29, 1856. resulted in choice of Leonard E. Downie as president, William C. Allen, James Aram. W. Willard Isham, Edmund F. Mabie, Joseph Monell, Jr., and Trumbull D. Thomas as trustees, James Lewis clerk, Newton McGraw treasurer, Nicholas M. Harrington and Ebenezer Latimer assessors, Nicholas Thorne marshal. From causes now not assignable the official lists of village and city, as shown here, are slightly defective. From known causes they are liable to be found slightly inaccurate. They have been derived from the older county history, from newspaper files at Delavan and Elkhorn and from records in the county clerk's office.

Except for Mr. Holmes's term, in 1888. Harry C. Johnson will have been treasurer for village and city from 1883 to 1914. As a citizen of Delavan remarked, "There is no use in anybody's tryin' to run agin him." The name of the treasurer for 1873 is not found.
A postoffice was established in 1837. at first to receive semi-weekly mails from Racine. It is now an office of the second class, with city carriers, and having five dependent free delivery rural routes. Postmasters: William Phoenix 1837, Cyrus Brainard 1845. William C. Allen 1846, Cyrus Brainard 1847. Dr. Norman L. Gaston 1849. Nicholas M. Harrington 1853, George Cotton 1854. James H. Mansfield 1854 (at first as substitute for Mr. Cot- ton). Charles Smith 1861.

Mr. Hunt (called Captain Hunt from hay- ing been master of a steamer on Delavan lake) lost his left leg at Peachtree Creek, as a soldier of the Twenty-second Infantry. Mr. Passage served in a Californian cavalry regiment. but the state census report of 1895 shows him a second lieutenant of Second Massachusetts Infantry. Both statements may be truc.

CHAPTER XXIV
TOWN OF EAST TROY.
The town of Troy, as established in 1838, included two government townships. It was divided March 21, 1843, and its eastern half, town 4 north, range 18 east, became East Troy. The town of Mukwonago lies next north and the town of Waterford is next east. The slightly uneven surface of this town is generally about eight hundred and twenty-five feet above sea- level. Honey creek comes into East Troy at section 18, crosses sections 29, 28, 21, 22, 23, 24, leaves the county to return to the southeast corner of sec- tion 36, and drains the eastern part of Spring Prairie. A branch comes out of section 5 of Spring Prairie, winds across sections 32, 33. 28. 27, 26 and ends its course in section 23. Potter's lake, sections 10, 11, with connected ponds in sections 13, 14, discharge their little surplus into Honcy creek at section 24.
The group of lakes now named Beulah lies in sections 4, 5, 8. 9. 16. 17, 18. The outlet of these lakes finds its way through Mukwonago to Fox river. Lake Beulah station, Wisconsin Central Railway, in section 12, is a bit more than three miles from the namesake lakes, eighty-five miles from Chicago, and thirty-five miles (by rail) from Milwaukee. These lakes have long been known to local campers, boaters, fishers, and swimmers,-the latter favored by the irregular shore lines. At Hately's Bay (or Brooks Cove) on the upper lake. in section 17. the bottom drops away rapidly to the depth of sixty- seven feet within a few rods of shore, and for more than a quarter-mile toward the opposite shore the water is sixty or more fect deep. At other points on the lower lakes bottom is found at forty to fifty-four feet depth. A considerable part of the whole area, however, is but ten feet deep. The little companion lake. named Army or East Troy, about a half-mile eastward. in section 16, is but scant seventeen feet deep. \ long. irregular island of about thirty-five acres in area is owned and has been improved and supplied with convenient buildings by the University of St. Louis. About two hun- dred and fifty priests and students, escaping the discomforts of the city, find here a quiet and healthful summer vacation. There are also other non-resi- dent owners of lakeside property.
273
WALWORTH COUNTY, WISCONSIN.
The land area of the town is 20,995 acres, the village not included. The valuation in 1910 was $1.590.700-average value $75.76 per acre. The crop acreage for 1910 was : Barley, 577 : corn. 3.279; hayfield. 1.802: oats. 2.386; potatoes. 109: rye, 214: wheat. 94. The assessed valuation of town and vil- lage was 4.77 per cent. of the valuation for the whole county. The federal census from 1850 to 1900 inclusive was, taken for town and village together : 1850. 1.318: 1860. 1.717: 1870. 1.431: 1880. 1.407: 1890. 1.406; 1900. 1.513. In Igto the poppulation of the town alone was 925
FIRST SETTLERS.
The first actual settler in East Troy, Mr. Roberts, had sold a recently made claim in Troy when he came, in the spring of 1836, to the north bank of Honey creek, in section 29. near the site of the present village, and was soon joined by Asa Blood. They built a cabin and worked about a year to assemble materials for a saw-mill. Then Jacob Burgit came that way, bought their rights, and built the mill. In another year he began to produce mill-stuff for framed houses in the village and elsewhere. Mr. Blood passed over to the town of Sugar Creek, and Mr. Roberts passed from the annals of the town and the county. In that first year of East Troy came also Cyrus Cass to section 21. Daniel P. Griffin to section 20. Jacob Haller to section 35. Allen Harrington to section 21. Lyman Ilill to section 3. Austin AlcCracken to the village site (and in 1839 was licensed to keep a tavern). Oliver Rathburn to section 2. The next year brought Gorham Bunker, Jacob> Burgit. Dr. William M. Gorham, Gaylord Graves, Benjamin and Elias H. Jennings, John A. Larkin, Henry Powers, Dr. James Tripp, James W. Vail, William Weed and Benjamin Whitcomb.
Not all who came in the first few years remained long enough to leave distinct trace in record or clear impression in memory. Lucius Allen, the Chafin brothers, Stephen Field. Wilder M. Howard, Martin Pollard and John F. Potter were among the men of 1838: Seth Beckwith and S. Buel Edwards were of those of 1830. Among notable arrivals were those of Dr. Daniel Allen. Capt. George Fox and Sewall Smith. AAmong the departures were that of Mary A ( Spoor). wife of Lucius Allen. November 15. 1838, for a better world; and that of Doctor Tripp for his new village of Whitewater. Ile built a saw-mill in 1838 at the Beulah outlet, and soon found buyers.
Patentees, not above named. of land within the town were: Thomas Albiston. Robert Augier, James W. Bartholf. Henry Bear. Alexander Brush (18)

Robert Augier (1785-1862) had wife Abigail ( 1786-1862) and left descendants of his own and other names.
Seth Beckwith came early, sold in 1842 to Abel Sperry, and passed northward. Not a near relative of Nelson.
John Beers ( 1803-1885), a native of Pennsylvania, came to section 24 with wife, Mary Crites ( 1820-1892).
Homer and Seymour Brooks were sons of David and wife Catharine Simpson, of Ovid, New York. Homer, born in 1819. is yet living in section 17. near the Beulah lake-group. In 1849 he married Almira, daughter of Jacob Burgit and Mary Gardner. Seymour Brooks ( 1821-1892) married Susan ( 1826-1898). daughter of Peter Bulman. His farm was in section 5. near the foot of the lakes. Both of these men were early and active in the im- provement of live stock, and their work praised them.
Cyrus Cass ( 1812-92) married Elizabeth B. Thomas ( 1825-1899). His farm, an almost lordly domain, lay both sides of Honey creek, sections 21. 28. Of his children, Clarence W. died in service in the Third Cavalry. and Edwin Thomas is a lawyer at Whitewater.
275
WALWORTH COUNTY, WISCONSIN.
Joseph H. Edwards (1781-1853) and wife, Abigail Buel ( 1790-1867), came about 1840 to section 15. Their son, Simon Buel ( 1815-1893), was born in Broome county. New York: married, first, Elizabeth Ann ( 1818- 1881), daughter of Isaac U. Wheeler, in 1838; moved to Whitewater in 1878, where he married again. He was a good farmer and a worker in and for the County AAgricultural Society.
Chauncey Eggleston ( 1795-1848) was born in Connecticut. His wife. Chloe, was a daughter of Jonathan Coe. Their daughter, Charlotte Coe Eggleston, was born in 1827 and died in 1897.
Capt. George Fox ( 1791-1864) was a descendant of that John Fox whose tremendous work, in two or three folio volumes, entitled "Acts and Monuments of the Church." by powerful condensation became "Fox's Book of Martyrs," and was well read by eight or ten generations of pious men and women. Two daughters of Captain Fox were each in succession wife of Hon. John F. Potter.
James Fraser ( 1787-1876) and wife Elizabeth ( 1782-1867) came from one of the Orkneys. and bought land in section 26. Of their children, Alexander, Charles and John were long active in town affairs, and Margaret became Mrs. Orlando Jennings.
Doctor Gorham came from Milwaukee, lived a few years at East Troy, and returned to the city.
Jacob Haller ( 1809-1894), a native of canton of Aargau, Switzerland. came to America in 1833, and to section 35 of this town in 1838. His wife was Elizabeth E. ( 1813-1894). A daughter was wife of Hon. Frank Fraser.
Jeremiah Haynes Heath, with Simon Heath, came to section 36. He married Hannah E. McDuffie in 1842.
Wilder Mack Howard ( 1821-1910), son of Joseph and Rosanna, was born at Andover, Vermont. He was apprenticed to John .A. Larkin, a shoe- maker and an early settler. His first wife, Electa L .. daughter of Timothy and Sally Howard, died in 1878. ITis second wife was Elizabeth Fountain. He was a soldier of Company E. First Heavy Artillery.
Rev. Erastus Martin Kellogg (born 1815), a descendant in fifth gen- eration from Deacon Samuel Kellogg and Sarah Merrill, was apparently a non-resident investor. Roderick, his father's third cousin, was born in 1796 and married Sally Taylor. Of two sons and six daughters, none are known to have remained in the county.
Frederick Kyburz ( 1809-1892) came from Switzerland. His wife, Louisa (born 1822), was born in Hanover. Daniel Kyburz, born in 1777 and living in 1860, was probably his father and Mrs. Jacob Haller as prob- ably his sister. This family lived in section 14.
276
WALWORTHI COUNTY, WISCONSIN.
Martin Pollard ( 1813-1895), son of Joseph Pollard and Martha Martin, married July 9. 1840. Rachel ( 1810-1895), daughter of William Powers and Susan Cooper, and settled in section 2. Rachel died March 29th and Martin followed April Ist. One funeral service committed them to the burial ground at Mukwonago.
The early settlers included several of the most capable and successful farmers and stock breeders of the county and the movement for organizing a county agricultural society began with men of East Troy and their relatives and neighbors of Troy. While the trade with Milwaukee was overland and sometimes difficult and tedious, the town's position gave an advantage, by a few blessed miles, over men of other towns. When placed between two railway lines, with little direct advantage from either, the East Trojans sat not on their plow-beams sadly, but made the best of their not wholly unhappy situation until the Wisconsin Central Railway Company made a station at Benlah and gave them a direct way to Chicago. This line passes from Honey Creek by sections 25, 24. 13, 12. 1. 2. leaving the town near Mukwonago, about six miles of its tracks within the town of East Troy. The electric line from Milwaukee passes by way of Mukwonago across sections 2, 3. 10. 9. 16. 20 to East Troy village.
The town records have been quite generally in competent hands and are accessible.
