69
HISTORY OF WAUPACA COUNTY.
Board of Supervisors, and that it is in fact the County seat, having received a majority of the votes given on the question of removal of the County seat.
" Resolved, That said Board represent that at the meeting of the County Board of Supervisors of the County of Waupaca, in the fall of 1854, every town comprised in the County of Waupaca was represented, except the Town of Farmington ; and at said meeting of the Board of Supervisors, among other things, Mellen Chamberlain was re- moved from the office of Clerk of the Board of Supervisors, and John Fordyce elected in his place ; that the Towns of Iola and St. Lawrence were organized ; and that the Board adjourned its next annual meeting at Mukwa, after levying the taxes for the County. That the Towns of Lind, Dayton, Farmington, and Waupaca at that time refused to pay their taxes, but have since levied the taxes as directed by the County Board, at aforesaid meet- ing in November, 1854; and that said Board did, also, at said meeting in November, 1854, declare Mukwa to be the County seat of Waupaca County, after the votes on the question of County seat had been canvassed. That the west part of this County, consisting of the Towns of Dayton, Farmington, and Waupaca, have acquiesced in the action of the Board, as aforesaid, by levying their taxes as directed by the Board as aforesaid in No- vember, 1854, and giving the Supervisors from the
70
HISTORY OF WAUPACA COUNTY.
Towns of Iola and St. Lawrence seats in the Board that assembled at Waupaca in 1855. And we, the Board of Supervisors, draw this conclusion, -that admitting a part of the acts of the Board of Super- visors in November, 1854, admits the whole; and admitting the Supervisors for the Towns of Iola and St. Lawrence to seats in the Board, admits John Fordyce to have been legally the Clerk of this Board. And we further state that the said John Fordyce, Clerk, at the County seat, the place fixed upon the year before for the meeting of the Board, after canvassing the votes given on the question of removal of the County seat, declared Weyauwega to have received the majority of all votes given on the question of removal of the County seat to Weyauwega, at the election in No- vember, 1855; and further state that the above conclusions are arrived at after a careful investi- gation of the previous proceedings of the County Board, and of the election held in November, 1855.
"Resolved, That the Judge of the Circuit Court be directed to hold the next term of the Circuit Court, for this County, at the Village of Weyau- wega; and that La Dow's Hall be the Court House; that the Sheriff, Clerk of the Court, Clerk of the Board of Supervisors, Register of Deeds, and other County officers required to hold their of- fices at the County seat, are hereby directed and ordered to hold their offices at the Village of Wey-
