MARINETTE COUNTY.

INCLUDING A HISTORY OF MENOMINEE, MICH.

GENERAL FEATURES.

In March, 1879, Marinette County was set off from the eastern and southeastern portions of Oconto. It was divided into the towns of Marinette and Peshtigo, and the county seat located in the former. Preparations were at once made for the building of a court-house. The site, just north of the N. Ludington Company's store, was donated by Isaac Stephenson, who had much interested himself in the organization of the new county. The sightly two - story brick structure was substantially completed in the Spring of 1881, at a cost of $26,000. The present county officers are : Jerre O'Leary, Marinette, Sheriff; P. Doyle, Marinette, Under Sheriff: John Holgate, Clerk of the Court ; A. M. Fairehild, Marinette, Deputy Clerk ; H. O. Fairchild, Marinette, District Attorney ; F. J. Bartels, Peshtigo, County Judge; J. A. Van Cleve, Marinette, Surveyor and County Clerk ; C. Ross Johnson, Marinette, County Treasurer ; J. K. Wright, Marinette, Register of Deeds; L. W. Winslow, Peshtigo, Superintendent of Schools ; F. Armstrong, Coroner.

That the new district was fairly entitled to a county organization is sustained by the figures returned in 1880 by the census enumerators and assessors. The population of Marinette Town was 5,412, including the following unincorporated villages : Commonwealth, 84; Florence, 267; Marinette, 2,750; Menekaune, 1,274. Peshtigo Village (unincorporated) was not returned separately. The town's population was 3,517. Total population of the county for the year 1880, 8,929. The combined population of Marinette and Menekaune, which are one village except in name, is now placed at 4,500, while the village of Peshtigo claims 1,200. The assessed valuation of property in the two towns was, in 1880, $1,527,490.50.

The county is divided into two school districts, Marinette, No. 1, and Peshtigo, No. 2. At the last re- port of the Superintendent, the enrollment of scholars in No. 1 was 1,331, attendance 492; in No. 2, enroll- ment 1,203, attendance 718. The estimated value of school-houses and sites in the town of Marinette was $15,500, and in the town of Peshtigo, $9,018.

Agriculture in the county has not yet assumed im- portance, although when improved, the land is good. The lumber business is far too productive, and gives employment to all who desire work, and any earnest tilling of the land is some years off; some place it at ten, some even at twenty.

Marinette County is watered by the Peshtigo River, with its tributaries, and the streams flowing into the Menominee. Along these water courses are located some of the great traets of pine land owned by the lumber companies of Marinette, Menominee and Pesh- tigo.

The transportation needs of Marinette County are met by the Goodrich line of steamers, and by the Chicago & Northwestern Railroad Company, which was extended from Green Bay in 1871, and the next year from Menominee to Escanaba, Mieh., which there connects with the Peninsula Division, and thus with the Lake Superior region. Its facilities are to be fur- ther inereased by the construction of the Wisconsin & Michigan road, which is noticed in detail in the history of Brown County, which locality is the center of the enterprise in this State. This road is to pass through its western towns.

EARLY HISTORY.

An Indian trader, Louis Chappee, or Chappieu, came to Menominee in 1796, and as an agent of the Ameri- ean Fur Company established a post on the Wisconsin side of the river, near where Marinette's house now stands. He was a bold, energetic man, a soldier in spirit and a trader by instinct. For many years he re- tained the monopoly of the trade. When William Farnsworth, also an agent of the company, and Charles R. Brush, came in 1822, they saw the flourishing nature of the trade, and effecting the release from Fort How- ard of two chiefs who had been imprisoned through Chappee's influence, so obtained the favor of the Chip- pewas, that it was but a question of time and oppor- tunity when they should obtain control. One day when Chappee was absent, Farnsworth and his fol- lowers took forcible possession of the post, and when its proprietor returned, not feeling strong enough to resist the outrage, he loaded his goods into eanoes, bore them to the foot of the rapids which bear his name, and established himself again.

But his days as the only successful trader were numbered ; for when William Farnsworth eame to Menominee, he brought with him a help-mate, the blooming and intelligent Marinette. She was esteemed one of the best Indian traders in the Northwest, and wonderful stories are told of her business genius. Marinette was a grand-daughter of Wabashish, a Men- ominee chief, and Bartholomew Shevalier, a white man. Her birth place was Post Lake, a tributary of the Peshtigo River, and the year, 1793. She was first married to John B. Jacobs, a Canadian fur trader, at Mackinaw. They had several children, two of whom are now living-John B. Jacobs, of Green Bay, and Elizabeth, wife of Charles McLeod, of Menominee. She lived several years with William Farnsworth at Mackinaw, before removing to Marinette. To him she bore several children, one of whom, George P. Farns- worth, of Green Bay, is still living. The young woman was brought up in the Catholic faith, was kind and helpful. Her life with Jacobs developed in her a busi- ness talent seldom possessed by a woman. It is stated

579

HISTORY OF MARINETTE COUNTY.

that she would sometimes carry on the large business of the post for days at a time, during her husband's absence, and although unable to keep memoranda of the transactions, be able to render an account to the last penny. She was never caught in a blunder at figures, notwithstanding she sometimes would be deal- ing-buying and selling-with forty or fifty at a time. No wonder that Farnsworth found her of invaluable aid to him in his business ; but for some reason which has not been explained, he left her, as did Jacobs. Marinette died at Green Bay, June 3, 1865, while on a visit to Mr. Farnsworth, her son. At the time of her death, she was in her seventy-third year, and was uni- versally respected by the Indians and old settlers for her good works and Christian spirit. William Farns- worth, her second husband, was lost on the "Lady Elgin," he having settled in Sheboygan. Her little house, where she spent the latter years of her life in quiet and benevolent work, is still standing.

THE FIRST MILL.

Although their mode of deposing of Chappieu was not legitimate, Messrs. Farnsworth & Brush were more like the business men of to-day than the former, and the result itself was, therefore, advantageous. The scope of their aims was much broader than Chappieu's, and consequently, although there was no immediate market for lumber, they erected a saw-mill in 1832, the first on the Menominee River. It was situated on the wing dam, above the Dr. Hall place. John Last, an old resident of Green Bay, worked there in the Sum- mer of 1833. After going through several changes in proprietorship, the dam, which was located near where the Chicago & Northwestern Railroad track crosses the river, broke away, and the mill was shut up.

Charles McLeod built the second mill, at Twin Island, in 1841, but it was abandoned after running a few years, owing to the low price of lumber and the difficulty of getting the supply to market. Dr. J. C. Hall built a mill in 1844, on the Menominee side, higher up the rapids than the Farnsworth & Brush mill had been located. Of course, a dam was built. John G. Kittson, who came to permanently locate in this vicinity after Farnsworth and Brush, in 1826, and who for many years lived at Chappee Rapids, when he heard of it was very wroth. He was living then at Wausaukee Bend, where he operated a trading post and a farm, the latter being the first piece of ground worked in the county. Both he and Chappee had been in the habit of transporting their supplies of provisions and merchandise up the river, dragging their boats after them over the rapids. But this dam seemed to be too much for the patience of Kittson. He collected his post followers, and cut the obstruction away suffi- ciently to admit a passage of his boats. Farnsworth, one of the principal owners of the mill property, attempted to get out a warrant for Kittson's arrest, at Green Bay, but in those days the purchase of the law was even more expensive than now, and nothing came .of it. The owners of the mill, however, put in a lock and slide, which appeared to have satisfied the irate Kittson, as no further trouble occurred. After pass- ing through a checkered financial existence, the mill was burned in 1856. Messrs. Hackbone & Boyden

built a water-power mill at Cedarville, in 1854. A steam mill was erected by Messrs. Hamilton & Lynn about this time. They had come into possession of the former, and when their steam establishment started up the water-power mill fell into disuse.

THE GREAT FIRE OF OCTOBER 8, 1871.

For months previous to that shocking human sacri- fice of October 8, 1871, earth and air seemed to have entered into a conspiracy to lay the foundation of the altar broad and raise its structure high. The previous Winter had been scant of snow, the Spring had with- held its cooling showers, and July, only, finally vouch- safed a refreshing drought to the parched land, which quickly and greedily drank it. The atmosphere panted, and everything on the earth right in sight of Lake Michigan's grand old arm-Green Bay -- was parched and cracked. The swamps of tamarack and the marshes of cedar which stretched along both of its shores were black, dry and cheerless. In September the clouds opened and sifted down a scanty shower, which served rather to tantalize than to satisfy. The panting of air and earth went on. One might almost imagine that some fiery atmosphere of judgment from above was yoking itself to the infernal breath of the pit and preparing to ride, flaming and rough-shod, over the villages and forests of the land. The swamps and marshes were peat, prepared for burning, the forests of pine were tinder, ready and anxious for a suicide by fire. All nature was so dry and so miserable that it cried out for death. The human victims for the com- ing holocaust were not yet prepared for death, if they ever were. Little adder tongues of flame first shot in and out, darting down among the roots of trees, steal- thily following their prey underground, then springing up to the air and licking a bush or a small tree. Soon a whole body came into sight, the spirit of destruction grew bolder, a forest pine was wrapped in its folds and came tumbling to earth, its enemy hissing and darting around it. Then, as if by magic, a whole forest of pines was surrounded and invaded, and eaten by a grand mass of fire, and all the world was in the flames. To be more historical, the local fires commenced to be really noticeable and create wide-spread alarm up both shores of Green Bay in the early part of September. A dark pall of smoke already hung over the pine for- ests, or was wafted and wandered slowly over the country. Red and lurid flames were dancing among the tree-tops on both sides of the bay. People in the farming sections were commencing to look with alarm in each other's faces, and, with the enemy in the rear, to take their families and their household goods to the settlements, or the villages, where, they thought, a more effective stand could be maintained. The large settlements, such as those located in the " Upper, Mid- dle and Lower Sugar Bushes," a few miles south west of Peshtigo, breathed easily in comparison with isolated farmers scattered over a broad expanse of country. Especially was the feeling gloomy on the eastern shore of the bay, where the farming settlements were few and small. By the middle of the month the forest fires were raging up and down the shores of Green Bay, encompassing and apparently dooming to destruc- tion Sturgeon Bay, Little Suamico, Pensaukee, Oconto.

HISTORY OF NORTHERN WISCONSIN.

the Sugar Bushes, Peshtigo, and all the settlements and villages where such crowds were fleeing for safety. The whole population of the bay counties turned out to fight the flames, and for the time they were driven back. With the exception of the thousands of acres of valuable timber destroyed, and the burning of rail- road ties, bridges and camps belonging to the Chicago & Northwestern Company, whose line was then being built from Fort Howard to Menominee, Mich., up to the middle of September the loss of property was light and the loss of life nothing. After that date the fire drew closer and closer around the settlements. It had fed upon the forests, even eating the upper soil of the land, leaving in its place nothing but ashes. Like a hungry lion which, after he has cleared the forests of lower game, is driven by gnawing and fierce hunger to rush for his prey even into cities and the haunts of men, what were to be the great fires of October, 1871. raged around the villages of Northeastern Wisconsin, preparing in their famished state to sweep into them and bear away their victims. Twice did doomed Pesh- tigo escape only by the brave resistance of its people. On the twenty-first, Little Suamico fought nobly. Oconto, Pensaukee, all the villages on the west shore were being glared at by hungry eyes. To add to the horror of the situation, by the latter part of Septem- ber not only were earth and heaven in flames, but tele- graph communication with Green Bay, and thus with the remainder of the State, was completely severed. Any one who has observed the intimate association be- tween these towns and settlements on the western shore, which were so sorely pressed, can realize to some extent the horror of uncertainty, in addition to the horror of reality, which was born of this fact. Green Bay and Fort Howard also were entered by the foe, and narrowly escaped being swallowed. While the cities and villages were trembling in doubtful fear, isolated saw-mills and farm-houses were being de- stroyed throughout Oconto, Shawano, Marinette, Brown, Kewaunee and Door counties. A terrible bat- tle had been waged and won, on the twenty-fourth, by the people of Peshtigo. The fire finally gave up the battle and swept around the town, burning large quan- tities of hay in the marshes between it and Marinette. The latter village itself was threatened, and only saved by being soaked with water and covered with wet blankets. By the end of September there was no sleep for the people of five counties, who rested upon their arms and waited in dread the approach of a fear- ful enemy, and one with whom they so seldom had to deal. Thus had the drought of six months, which made the earth tinder and the air gaseous and explosive va- por ; the destruction of all the unpopulated districts of the State around those which were thickly settled, and the exhaustive conflict with the insatiable flames which raged for weeks, led up to that fatal Sunday- that fatal union and onset of tornado and fire-which makes the 8th of October, 1871, a sadder day to the people of Northern Wisconsin than to the business men of Northern Illinois. How, in that immense ocean of fire which rolled over Chicago and bore away so much of its pride and wealth, so few souls were car- ried, too, is the mystery. But the blank made on this
