JOSEPH COLLIE, son of George Collie and Mary Ross, was born in Aberdeenshire, November 14, 1825. He was left fatherless in his boyhood, and in 1836 his mother came with her children to the neighborhood of Aurora, and a few years later to Plattville, Wisconsin. He seemed a predestined student and teacher, and he continued his education from the common school to an academic course at Mineral Point, and thence to Beloit College, where he was graduated about 1851. He had worked his way to this end as many an American boy has done, and this under somewhat unusual difficulty, that of congenital lameness. In 1854 he was graduated from Andover, and in 1855 was ordained and installed in the Congregational church at Delavan, and continued in its pastorate through his active life. He married November 4, 1856, Ann Eliza, daughter of Rev. Lucius Foote. He died July 8, 1904. For many years he owned a bit of land at the entrance of Williams Bay, on the north shore of Geneva Lake, with a landing place for steamers,-likely to be known long hence as long heretofore to local geographers as Camp Collie.
NICHOLAS SPENCER COMSTOCK, son of Aaron ( 1769-1843) and wife Patience, daughter of Nicholas Spencer, was born at West Greenwich, Rhode Island, November 5, 1802; married, first, Mavilla Evans; second, Catharine Mulks ( 1822-1879). He came to Darien in 1837 and bought government land in sections 7. 9. In 1845 he, with Salmon Thomas, were chosen town as- sessors. He died at Darien. October 3, 1860.
DAVID COON was born in Rhode Island, March 16, 1785; lived in Madi- son and Jefferson counties, New York; in 1852 followed his sons to the town of Walworth ; died June 9, 1858. Mary Bentley, his wife, was born June 5, 1787; died September 25, 1870. Not enough has been gathered as yet from family records to determine all of their children or next nearer kindred. Gardner Coon (1808-1879) and wife Damaris ( 1808-1883) had children, William, Henry, Charlotte, Alzina. David Coon, Jr., ( 1810-1886) married Hannah M. (1818-1889), daughter of Stephen Clark and Judith Maxon ; their children were Louisa and Lucy. Elisha Bentley Coon ( 1817-1901 ) and wife Louisa had daughters Catharine and Caroline. He had been a teacher in his wander-years, and among his pupils had been John Griffin Carlisle, of Kentucky. Charles Douse Coon (born 1825) and wife Cynthia N. Crandall (born 1826) had children Charles, Mary, William. Some of these names and dates may be incomplete and inexact. They are shown by the census of 1860. which also shows, in the same town. Dr. Nathan Coon (aged thirty- eight ). wife Penna ( aged thirty-seven), daughter Josephine ( aged fourteen). Also, Orrin Coon (aged forty-eight ), wife Mary (aged forty-seven ), daugh-

ters Catharine (aged nineteen), Harriet (aged fifteen). George Coon (aged twenty ) lived with William Clark. Besides these, Marshall Coon ( 1856-1908) married, first, Lucy Campbell ; second, Luella Crandall. He left two sons.
HARLOW MERRILL COON did not suppose himself related to David. He was son of Ezra Coon and Cyrena (or Serena) Burdick, and was born in Otsego county February 14, 1819. He came in 1843 to section 25, Walworth. For some years he was in retail business at the village and then returned to farm management. He died April 13, 1899. His wife, Harriet E. Crumb, was born March 3, 1823; died November 10, 1884. Children : Phoebe S. (once a teacher at the seminary ), Eva H., Harlow Irving.
GEORGE COTTON, son of Nathaniel Cotton and Prudence Goodwin, was born at Claremont, Sullivan county, New Hampshire, January 5, 1815; edu- cated at the Hopkinton Academy and at the military school, Norwich, Ver- mont. After a few journeyings in the South and the West, he went home and married May 8, 1844, M. Maroa Chillis, of Newport, New Hampshire, and came in that year to a Darien farm. He was four times a member of the county board for that town, and was chairman of that body in 1852. The next year he moved to Delavan village, where, in 1854, he became postmaster for a term of four years. His politics shut him from the larger places, but he was found useful in unpaid municipal stations, including presidency of the village. In 1878 he became president of the Citizens Bank. He died Decem- ber 8, 1886, and Mrs. Cotton's death followed quickly, March 27, 1887. Mr. Cotton was short, stout, swarthy, keen-eyed, an excellent appraiser of property and of personal values, a shrewd investor of money, an easy-mannered neigh- bor, and a good citizen. He was an old-fashioned Democrat, not subject to change with time or circumstance.
DYAR LAMOTTE COWDERY was descended from William1, Nathaniel-, Samuel3, Nathaniel', William5 6, Lyman7. The last-named, son of William and wife Rebecca Fuller, was born in 1802 and died in 1881. He married in 1825 Eliza, daughter of Robert Alexander and Catharine Campbell. He was admitted to law practice, served a term as county clerk, and a few months as county judge. The children were llelen Mar ( Mrs. Darius Coman). Sophia Amanda ( Mrs. Francis .A. Utter), Dyar L., Lyman Emmet. Mrs. Cowdery was learned in all household wisdom and well experienced in ways of neigh- borly goodness: wherefore the Judge was used to say that Dyar was his mother's boy, and in this hie judged mother and son truly and kindly. She was born in 1805 and died in 1879.
Dyar was born at Arcadia, New York, January 5, 1833. The family came in 1846 from Kirtland, Ohio, to Elkhorn. The common school. the

printing office, and a few years in California filled his time until 1859. He worked at the Independent office as foreman and at times as editor-substitute from that year till 1875, when he followed Mr. Dewing as county clerk and served until his death, May 10, 1900. He had married at Richmond, Illinois, Lydia Malvina, daughter of Sylvanus Aldrich and Lydia Crandall, November 24, 1864. Of their two children Edith Aldrich died in bright young woman- hood, and Kirke Lionel is a professor of the French language and literature at ยท Oberlin. The county clerk's records show the minutely nice habits of mind and hand which had made Mr. Cowdery a skillful and tasteful printer. His thorough knowledge of the county's business made him for long an invaluable county-seat correspondent of the Il'hitewater Register, of whom Mr. Coe often spoke with his characteristically generous judgment.
Judge Cowdery's brother, Dr. Warren A. Cowdery, married Patience Simonds. of Pawlet. Vermont. Of their children Martius Dyar Cowdery, long a resident of the town of Geneva, was born at LeRoy, New York, Octo- ber 29, 1819; married, first, Caroline B. Craig ; second, Vesta L. Lawrence. He died April 26, 1898.
Oliver Cowdery, one of the prophet Joseph Smith's "witnesses," was another son of William Cowdery. After the prophet's death he left the stricken church, and a few years later died also.
PITT NOBLE CRAVATH, only son of Prosper Cravath and Maria P. Noble, was born in town of Lima, Rock county, August 1, 1844; his parents moved the next year to Whitewater ; he was graduated from the State University in '63 ; served as private of Company D, Fortieth Wisconsin Infantry, in '64; was graduated from Albany law school in '65; married Marcia Dowd at Waukesha, October 20, 1867 ; went to Louisiana in 1868 and served two years as assistant secretary of state. Returning, after a short stay at Milwaukee, he went to Algona, Kossuth county, Iowa, where for five years he practiced law and editorship. In 1879 he was again at Whitewater, and at once began to publish the Puddingstick,-shortly renamed Chronicle. At first it was an organ of a loosely bound opposition to political and local policies supported by the Register. In 1884 he supported Cleveland,-and, about this time, had Sam- ttel Bishop as a law partner. He sold his paper a little later, and gave his time to law practice and to his duty as city surveyor. His wife, who had been to him in some ways more than wives commonly are to husbands, died October 20, 1898. He died November 28, 1898. Mr. Steele says of him: "Kind and genial in all his ways, he filled a peculiar niche in the affections of all who knew him."

PROSPER CRAVATH, eldest son, and one of sixteen children of Deacon Prosper Cravath and Miriam Kinney, was born at Cortland- ville, New York, May 28, 1809; began study of law in 1829; married Maria Prudence, daughter of Solomon Noble, March 27, 1834. Ile came in 1839 from Lime Ridge, Huron county, Ohio, to the north half of section 13, Lima,-about three miles from the site of Whitewater. The earliest settlers did not bound all their affairs strictly by county and town lines. Thus it may have been that Mr. Cravath appeared at Squire Mead's court in June, 1839, as counsel in the cause of William Birge vs. Willard B. Johnson, an account for labor and goods and against it an account in offset ; Warner Earle for plaintiff, Cravath for defendant. Earle was out-generaled and lost. Thus began legal contention at Whitewater. In 1843 Mr. Cravath was admitted to practice in courts of Jefferson county, and in 1845 removed to Whitewater. He served town and village variously as clerk, supervisor, justice, and the village as postmaster. He was member of Assembly for the first session, June, 1848. Ile was defeated for county judge in 1848 and for district attorney in 1850. He died May 20, 1886. Mrs. Cravath, born at Blandford, Hampden county, Massachusetts, August 20, 1813, died at Whitewater, February 11, 1890. Early Whitewater was in many neighborly ways indebted to this grand old couple, and these obligations are still willingly admitted. To Mr. Cravath more than to any of his neighbors the county, town, and city owe the gather- ing and preservation of most of the names, dates and facts relating to the set- tlement and development of the old town of Elkhorn. As not seldom happens. the historian has told much less of himself than posterity would read with interest and pleasure. He need not have told all, nor was there need to sup- press anything.
BOOTH BEERS DAVIS, son of Gershom Davis and Margaret Vorhees, was born in 1810; perhaps in Delaware county, New York. He came to a farm in Lyons about 1841. He lost both legs by freezing when hauling a load of flour to or from Fort Winnebago. In 1842 he came to Elkhorn as register of deeds, and at the end of his term remained here till his death, February 20, 1880. He had married Adeline Irene, daughter of Joseph Barker, at Batavia, New York, October 24. 1833. Her father was afterward one of the early settlers of Sugar Creek. Mr. Davis went into business as a dealer in dry goods and groceries, and until the crash of 1857 had a large and apparently profitable trade. He went under, as did all his neighbors, but started anew and struggled. with moderate success, till the end of living and striving. His wife died at Chicago, September 2. 1892. One of his daughters, AAdeline. was wife of Henry Fish Spooner. The other, Frances Augusta, was wife of Dr. Lonis Joseph Kords, of Burlington.

JOHN POTTER DAVIS, grandson of John Davis, son of l'eter Davis ( 1800-1861) and wife Rebecca J. Kingsnorth ( 1809-1892), was born at Wood- church, Kent, England, July 9, 1834, and came to America in 1850, and lived at Deansvilie, Oneida county, New York. He married December 12, 1855, Mary, daughter of John Mack and Electa Truby, December 12, 1855, at Stockbridge, Madison county, where she was born March 6, 1837. In 1857 he came to Oakland, Wisconsin, and thence in 1876 to section 7 of Richmond. Mr. Hulce, a poor commissioner, induced him and his wife in 1882 to under- take the management of the county poor farm and the care of its inmates. Their administration, from which they retired in 1901, earned for them the fullest approval of the commissioners, the county supervisors, and the com- munity,-and, though yet living, a place in the county history. Their children were : Emma Luella ( Mrs. Franklin Gage), Edgar Monroe (married Helen Goodhue). John Frederick (died in his first year), Mabel Josephine ( MIrs. Charles Kinne Dunlap ).
JOHN W. DENISON was son of John Denison, Jr., and Martha Coe. Ilis mother was daughter of Daniel Coe and his wife Martha. Her grandparents were those of Edwin D. Coe's father. Mr. Denison was born at Durham, Greene county, New York, April 6, 1819. His parents moved about 1829 to the Genesee valley. He was bred to business at Spencerport, and from there came in 1847 to East Troy to establish the branch house of E. 11. Ball & Co. He continued in the business of both eastern and western concerns until 1866, when he came to buy, with Leonard A. Tanner, the paper mill at Whitewater. At Spencerport he had married Mary A., daughter of Julius A. Perkins, March 9, 1854. They had four children. Mr. Denison served five termins as village member of the county supervisors. He died September 8, 1897. Ilis father was born in 1778. in Connecticut; died September 15, 1853. His mother was born in 1781 : died October 5, 1852.
JULIUS DERTHICK, son of Ananias Derthick and Tryphena Skinner, was born at Winchester, Connecticut, September 30. 1795: married Esther Mon- roe at Sharon, Connecticut. December 30, 1821. She was born at Cornwall, Connecticut, March 26. 1799, and died April 12, 1879. Their children were born in Connecticut, New Jersey and Ohio. In 1854 he bought a farm in Lafayette; served as supervisor in 1860, and died at home August 19. 1863. He had four daughters and two sons, one of whom was twice sheriff, the other a member of the Legislature.
WALTER GEORGE DERTHICK, son of Julius Derthick and Esther Monroe, was born at Shalersville. Portage county, Ohio, December 8. 1839; came to Lafayette in 1854; married Mary, daughter of Nathaniel Bell and Sarah L.

Cook, August 26, 1868. (After her mother's early death Mrs. Derthick's child- hood and young womanhood were passed in the family of her uncle, Dr. Mills.) Mr. Derthick was active in town and county politics, and was some- times chosen justice of the peace. In 1882 he was Assemblyman, elected over Edward D. Page. He died September 13, 1905. He was a prince among good fellows. A son, Julius Mills Derthick, was a soldier of the war of 1898. The only daughter, Helen Bell, is a teacher at Elkhorn.
ELY BRUCE DEWING (Dexter", Jeremiah5, Solomon4, Andrew3 2 1), seventh of eight children of Dexter Dewing and Deidamia Weaver, was born at French Creek, Chautauqua county, New York, June 21, 1834. His parents came to Elkhorn in 1843, where he finished his schooling. He learned printer's ways at Centerville, Michigan, and at White Pigeon. He married, August 15, 1855, Elizabeth, daughter of George Dixon and Theresa Sowerby. Commer- cial pursuits, a few small investments in village real estate, sports of field and stream, and local politics occupied him until 1876, when ill health forced him to less strenuous life. In 1873 he began work as local contributor to the Lake Geneva Herald, but did not bind his pen to "rural scoops"; for it rambled in a way that delighted many readers and but mildly rasped a few. He wrote a few songs for his friend Webster's music-his pen-names, "Edwin Bruce," "Luke Collins." "Paul Vane." Among these were "All Rights for All," "Get Out of Mexico." "Our Soldiers' Welcome Home," "There's a Light in the Window for Me." "The Past We Can Never Recall." "The Spring at the Foot of the Hill," "Under the Beautiful Stars." "To Little Hattie Harvey,"- perhaps few or none of them now in demand. Ile had served the village as supervisor, and was experienced in affairs of the county. In 1878 he was chosen assemblyman over Hollis Latham, the one man in the district whom a coalition of Democrats, Greenbackers and anti-Reynolds Republicans might hope to elect. In the contest at this session of Howe, Carpenter and Keves for a full term in the Federal Senate, Mr. Dewing voted for Horace Rublee. llis editorship, 1884-88, and service in the circuit clerk's office, 1889-94, have been told. In 1900 he became president of a new board of library directors, his last public service. While canvassing the county for his return to the clerkship of the circuit, a short, sharp illness closed his useful and honorable life. August 7, 1902. It might be said of him that he touched nothing but to do it well, and often admirably. One of the most modest of men, few or none of his friends knew all his intellectual measure.
MYRON EDWIN DEWING, sixth child of Dexter and Deidamia, was born at French Creek. New York, March 27, 1832. At two years old, having stumbled with hands reaching forward, and fallen into the embers of an out-

door chip-fire, all his fingers were so burned as to maim him for life. When his forearms rolled outwardly the baby fingers were seen folded upon the palms, under a new covering skin. The more usual appearance was that of amputation at the wrists, the effect of longer cuffs to shirt and coat. This mishap was of advantage to his brother, born a few weeks later; for the younger became to the elder a bodyguard in their childhood and a close com- panion in study in their youth. Both were thus taken from the trowel and builder's scaffold for other usefulness. He qualified himself at common schools for teaching, and thus earned means for more liberal self-education. He was a fair Latinist, and between himself and Ely some graceful transla- tions were made from such scraps of French and German literature as fell in their way. He made himself a good marksman, a bold and graceful horseman, and taught his stumps to move his pen freely and with clerkly neatness over papers and record books. He could deal skillfully from a pack of cards, open his mail and his pocket-book, and shift for himself in most ways. His tongue was witty, keen, caustic, and made for him friends and unharming enemies. He was most annoyed by impertinent curiosity. In 1856 he was elected clerk of the county board over Charles Daniel Handy, and served till his death, March 26, 1874. He had lived with his parents until their death, and with Ely until his own. He left to his brother and his sister, Miss Melvina, his small property interests and his library of one thousand volumes,-bought mostly by himself and well read by all three. In 1901 these heirs gave six hundred and fifty volumes to the new free library, still held together as the Dewing Col- lection, and these unusually well chosen books give some distinction to the whole array of shelving.
JOIIN DEWOLF, son of John DeWolf and Eunice Ludington, was born at Frankfort, New York, June 7, 1817 : came from Otsego county in 1854 to Darien. where he bought two hundred or more acres of good farm land ; served his town three terms as its member of the county supervisors : served the Baptist church at Delavan as deacon, and the Citizens Bank at that city as a stockholder: was chosen assemblyman for the session of 1860 over Robert R. Menzie : died September 7, 1895. His wife was Susan Emeline, daughter of Samuel Vinton and Lydia Merry. She was born in Herkimer county, June 7. 1817 : married October 31. 1838: died September 7. 1893. Their children were Myron ( married Julia Gray ), Rev. Delavan ( married Minnie Churchill ). Elizabeth (Mrs. George Fisk), Etta ( Mrs. Charles T. Isham). Deacon De Wolf was an upright man, who prospered honorably, and whose advice in the general conduct of business was regarded as sound.

Ransom, who was killed at Cha- pultepee in command of the Ninth United States Infantry. Mr. Dickinson was all his life of the unwavering Democratic old guard, that could die but would join neither Freesoilers nor Greenbackers. For the rest, he had the usual quota of civic and domestic virtues, with the none too usual qualities of resoluteness in doing and in enduring, and that of unvarying temper that could not be upset by trifles nor could be tempted to hasty speech or action.
JOSIAH DODGE, grandson of Nathaniel and Elizabeth Rumsey and son of Josiah Dodge and Phoebe Wilson, was born in Seneca county, New York, in 1810 : came to Genes county in 1818; married, first.
