NASEWAUPEE. 4

West of Sturgeon Bay lies the town of Nasewaupee. Of this name Mr. Martin says :

" The word ' Nasewaupee' is of wide range, and really conveys, or can be used in different sense or meaning. In one way, it has reference to early dawn, or that part of the day before sunrise. However, in the sense in which it is connected with the township, ' Nasewaupee ' is of different meaning. In 1856, Mr. Nelson W. Fuller and others wanted a post-office on the west side of the bay. As to a name for the post-office to be established, the post-office department at Washington did not agree with Mr Fuller and other parties here, so the whole matter concerning the name was left with the Postmaster at Green Bay, who thought that 'Nasewaupee,' the name of a Menominee In- dian chief that once located thereabouts, was appropriate. Nasewanpee post-office flourished under Mr. N. W. Fuller's administration as Postmaster. At least, we presume it flourished, for his net earnings the first three months were thirty-seven cents. He finally resigned the position of Postmaster, in favor of his brother, Mr. E. S. Fuller, who kept up the office for a time, when the post-office came to the same end as did Chief Nasewaupee-passed from exist- ence. When the township was organized, it was named after the deceased post-office, and now the name ' Nasewau- pee ' lives on."

In Nasewaupee are two ice companies which store away some of the finest crystal cut anywhere. Here is also situ- ated a Summer resort, called " Idlewild," the property of J. T. Wright.

"The early settlers of Forestville made their way to that vicinity by navigating the Ahnapee River, which stream runs through a portion of that town. The Ahnapee is still navigated to considerable extent up as far as Van Nor- strand's saw-mill, town of Forestville. J.
