In the year of grace 1837, there lived and flourished on what was called Teboe's Point. near Lake Koshkonong, an old French trader, named Joseph Teboe, a Canadian by birth, who, after trapping on the banks of the St. Lawrence and throughout the Canadas for many years of his life, turned his face toward the setting sun and wandered on till he came to Milwaukee. There he remained for some time, finally coming to the point above mentioned. where, to all intents and purposes, he was a fixture. Teboe, unfortunately for himself, had no regard for the

law of the land, which says in substance, though not in word, " thou mayest not have more than one wife," for he counted among other possessions, four bronzed ladies who called him husband, and from whom, it is said, he exacted obedience by the aid of a rope, a boot, or any other weapon which, for the time being, he could convert into an instrument for the purposes of flagellation.

With such a multiplicity of gentle "partners of his joys, and sharers of his sorrows," many people would imagine that Teboe must have been very happy. But he wasn't. He had a failing, and that failing was and is known among the sons of men by the short but expressive term whisky. Yes, Teboe drank, and whenever he got into what is termed by Shakespeare, " the sere and yellow leaf," to which must be added "of pure cussedness," then his feelings would overstep the bounds of prudence, and he would "bang " his unfortunate wives about the head, and carry on in such an outrageous manner as to finally "get himself disliked." At other times, when the demon of drink was upon him, he would wander off, to be absent some weeks. Upon one of these latter occasions, about Christmas, 1839, he went away and was never heard of until about March 12, 1840, when his son Frank astonished the settlement at Milton by the inquiry, " Have you seen my father ?" The gentleman addressed replied no, and then it transpired that he had been missing since Christmas.

A party, consisting of Messrs. Peter McEwen, Daniel Smith, - Lane, - Homes, .Raymond, Aaron Walker, - Chickering, George Hale and George Ogden was imme- diately organized to look for him, which they did, but without success. They first went to the lake, in the neighborhood of where he used to live, and inquired of the squaws there assembled as to Teboe's whereabouts, but they vouchsafed no satisfactory reply, merely intimating that he was across the lake with his feet and hands frozen off. The party immediately started to go across, followed by the squaws, but they had not gone far, when the latter raised a "yell," thereby collecting the "bucks" of the camp around the whites. For a time, "things looked a little blue " for the latter, but the Indians, much to the disgust of the squaws, refused to fight, and allowed them to go on their way rejoicing, relieved, no doubt, at having been excused from giving their personal attention to a carving and scalping bee.

Their quest, however, was entirely vain, for they never saw more of Teboe, and it has since been supposed that his wives took umbrage at some reflections he cast upon his son's marriage to a squaw, he having lived in expectation of bringing the boy up like a white man, and marry- ing him to a white woman, and that, in pursuance of such umbrage, they had killed him.

Teboe's Point is still among the institutions of the lake, and, to a few of the residents of Milton, the name of Teboe still brings back long-forgotten memories of early pleasures and early hardships.

TEMPERANCE SOCIETIES.

Milton Division, No. 96, Sons of Temperance, was organized March 2, 1875, by the Rev. H. D. Jencks, Grand Chaplain, with the following charter members : Rev. J. Fassett, Rev. W. T. Millar, J. C.

CHURCHES.

First Congregational Church .- On August 13, 1838, a meeting was held at the house of Mr. Ansel Dickinson, on Rock Prairie, near Mount Zion, wherein it was determined to organize a church of the above denomination. After the usual discussion incident to the formation of such an organization, the following persons signed the roll, thus constituting themselves the charter members : Ansel Dickinson and wife, Mrs. Lucille A. Nathan, Mrs. Sarah D. Stoors, Phineas and Mrs. Maria Arms, Aaron T. and Jason Walker.

At the conclusion of the proceedings, which were presided over by the Rev. W. M. Adams, that gentleman administered the sacrament of the Last Supper, and the meeting adjourned.

Up to 1840, service was conducted in private houses; but in the fall of that year, a church and parsonage were erected upon a lot of land located at the southwest corner of Section 36, the logs being contributed by the congregation, and the lumber for the sides, roof and interior decoration being brought from Waukesha County, thirty miles distant. It was 20x30 feet, and cost about $500, and was known as the First Congregational Church of Rock County.

In the winter of 1845-46, it was removed to the site of the present church, and was sub- sequently known as the First Congregational Church of Prairie du Lac (Prairie of the Lakes), which name it continued to bear until 1850, when it was again changed to that of the Milton First Congregational Church.

In 1854, the congregation commenced the erection of the present church, upon a lot donated by Mr. Peter McEwen. It is of brick, with a stone basement 34x50 feet, and cost, when completed, in 1856, $2,600. On February 26, 1857, it was thrown open to the public, for the purposes for which it was intended, the Rev. Melzer M. Montague preaching the dedica- tory sermon, the final act of dedication being performed by the Rev. H. Foote, of Janesville. The living is worth $1,000 per annum, and the membership is about two hundred. The fol- lowing is a list of the Pastors from the date of the organization of the Church to the present time:

Rev. W. M. Adams, 1838-39; Rev. R. R. Snow, 1839-41; Rev. W. W. Thayer, 1842-43; Rev. E. W. Hewit, 1843-45; Rev. H. Foote, 1845-46; Rev. S. S. Bicknell, 1846-51; Rev. Alphia Warren, 1852-56; Rev. M. Montague, 1856-58; Rev. S. S. Bick- nell. 1859: Rev. Beriah King, 1860-64; Rev. S. S. Bicknell, 1864: Rev. O. W. Smith, 1864-66 ; Rev. N. D. Graves, 1866-68; Revs. N. J. Goodhue, J. Bailey, H. Towle and S. W. Powell (supply), 1869; Revs. A. H. Pratt and J. C. Roger, 1870; Rev. L. P. Frost (one month, 1871; Revs. J. R. Swinton and L. C. Rogers (read sermons), 1871-72; Rev. J. S. Norris, 1873-74; Rev. John Fassett, 1874-76; Rev. A. L. P. Loomis, 1876-79. During the three months prior to the acceptance of a call by this latter gentleman, the pulpit was filled by members of the congregation, by whom sermons were read.

The first Trustees of the Church were : President, N. G. Stoors; Secretary, J. H. Willis- ton ; Treasurer, Joseph Spaulding ; Associates, A. Dickinson and Jason Walker. The present Trustees are : President, Rev. William Walker; Secretary, J. C. Plumb; Treasurer, John Alexander ; Associates, D. B. Wood, David Smith and O. Fuller.

The Church owns no property, except a parsonage, which was built in the summer of 1869, at a cost of '$2,000.

Methodist Church .- In the fall of 1846, the Milton M. E. Church was organized by the Rev. Matthew Bennett. The first members were the Rev. Abraham Bullis and wife, William P. Ind and wife, Jacob Bowers, Mrs. D. Soles, Miss C. C. Atherton and Rev. A. Warren, and wife. Services were held in private houses for some years, but in January, 1854, a meeting was held at the schoolhouse for the purpose of taking into consideration the advisableness of erecting a church. The immediate erection of such a building having been resolved upon, Messrs. Abram Bullis, William P. Ind, Jacob Bowers, Leander Hallock and Charles M. Drake were appointed

Trustees to take charge of matters and things appertaining to the work, Messrs. William McEwen, David Smith and David B. Wood constituting a Building Committee. At a subse- quent meeting, held on August 20, 1855, Messrs. T. J. McComber, Joel Wood and David Welsh were added to the list of Trustees. The church, constructed of wood, with a stone basement and a seating capacity of 225 persons, was finished in 1854, at a cost of $1,500, the land upon which it was erected being presented by Mr. Peter McEwen. During its long existence, the Church has had a large membership, but of late years it has fallen off, until now it has but sixty-five members. The living, however, worth $750, per annum, is still as large as formerly.

The following is a list of the Pastors from the date of the organization of the Church to the present day : 1846, Rev. Matthew Bennett ; 1848, Rev. G. M. Walker; 1849, Rev. R. E. Thomas ; 1850, Rev. Levi M. Cochrane; 1852, Rev. Hiriam Hervey ; 1853, Rev. Joseph Ander- son ; 1855, Rev. Frederick Curtis ; 1857, Rev. C. C. Mason; 1858, Rev. Robert Blackburn ; 1859, Rev. Leander Hallock ; 1861, Rev. George A. Smith ; 1863, Rev. James Lavelle; 1864, Rev. E. D. Farnham ; 1866, Rev. A. A. Hoskins; 1868, Rev. William C. Kelly ; 1869, Rev. A. Moore; 1870, S. C. Lamb; 1871, Rev. William H. Sampson ; 1872, Rev. S. W. Coggeshall ; 1873, Rev. G. D. Gaskill ; 1874 Rev. William T. Miller; 1876, Rev. F. C. Haddock ; 1877, Rev. M. V. B. Bristol; 1878, Rev. J. S. Eldridge.

The present Trustees are Milton D. Walsh, N. V. Wilcox, William McEwen, R. Richard- son, C. Perry, N. Reynolds, S. S. Obour and William P. Ind.

In 1848, a parsonage was built, which was in use for a number of years, but finally became "so dilapidated that the Pastor declined to live in it any longer, so it was " repudiated," and the present house and lot donated for that purpose by Mr. James Vincent, a member of the Church. Seventh-Day Baptists .- This sect, which has now a large representation in the village of Milton, held their first meeting, for the purpose of organizing a society, at the house of Mr. Henry Crandall, on November 6, 1840, and, on November 12, articles of faith and a constitu- tion were adopted. There were then sixty members, who, for a long time, worshiped in the house of Mr. Crandall above mentioned. Subsequently, a change was made to the house of Mr. Joseph Goodrich, and again to the old academy, where their form of religious worship was indulged in every Sabbath until 1852, when the present church was built, at a cost of $3,000, upon two lots donated by Mr. Joseph Goodrich.

The following is a list of the Pastors from 1841 to the present year : 1841-45-Elder Stillman Coon ; 1846-47-Elder Zuriel Campbell ; 1847-50-Elder Varnum Hull; 1850-56 -Elder William C. Whitford; 1856-59-Elder O. P .. Hull; 1859-63-Elder D. E. Maxon ; 1871-74-Elder L. C. Rogers ; 1876-79-Elder Elston M. Dunn.

The present number of communicants is 275, who, by their combined efforts, make up the $800 per annum at which the living is valued. In connection with the Church is a very good Sabbath school, ruled over at the present time by Mr. B. F. Tetsworth.

THE FIRST SCHOOL.

The first establishment of a scholastic nature in the neighborhood of Milton was taught in the log house of Mr. Henry B. Crandall, where his residence now stands, at Milton Junction, December, 1839. The scholars, some twenty in number, rendering obedience to Miss Olive Hall, a young lady who was employed for the purpose by Mr. Crandall, at the munificent salary of $6 per month, she boarding at his house and doing chores for her board. The following year, to wit, on September 24, 1840, Miss Hall quit teaching, and went to keeping house, the much-favored gentleman being Mr. James Pierce, whom she married on that date.

The second school in the village was established in the summer of 1840, in the house of Mr. S. D. Butts, the teacher being Miss Martha Head. It lasted, however, only six weeks, and then closed.

In the fall of that year, school districts were organized at Milton, Rock River, and in the Carr District, the teacher at the first-named place being Eneas C. Dickenson, who taught for about three months. The teachers at Rock River and Carr District being respectively Miss Esther A. Coon and Nathan S. Coon.

About 1867, the present magnificent structure was erected in the center of the public square, the site being the gift of Mr. E. Goodrich.

MILTON JUNCTION.

Notwithstanding the fact that the Prairie du Chien Railroad had for more than six years run its trains past what is now this populous little village, it was not until 1858, when the C. & N .- W. track became an established fact, that West Milton, as it was then called, began to show any signs of life. It is here that, as early as 1836, people, or more correctly speaking. one person, Mr. Stephen B. Butz by name, had been in that neighborhood, and that in the follow- ing year he was followed by Mrs. Hannah Bower, the first white lady in the town, and subse- quently by Mr. Henry Crandall, Elder Stillman and Coon in 1839 and 1841 respectively, but no attempt was made to form a village at that spot until the time indicated above. There was no necessity for it for one reason, as Old Milton was only a mile distant, and for another. if another were wanting, there was no inducement to build.

THE SETTLEMENT.

Upon the arrival of the iron road of the C. & N .- W. in 1858, as above stated, at what is now the Junction, Mr. G. W. Mathews erected on the present site of the Morgan House, hotel, which he kept under the sign of the Mathews House, and which was the first house in what was subsequently the village of West Milton. It was a small one-story frame house, but served all the purposes for which it was intended. In 1861, Mr. William T. Morgan purchased his interest, and in the spring, he erected a magnificent eating-house and hotel combined, at a cost of $18,000. He controlled its workings until 1862, when his brother Thomas purchased an undivided half-interest in it, and together they kept it until December 24, 1872, when it was burned to the ground. Nothing daunted, although they lost a large amount of property, they returned to the charge, and in the following year, erected the present fine building, which Mr. John C. Stetson controls, under the name of the Morgan House.

LAYING OUT THE VILLAGE.

In 1862, as Mr. William Morgan had a large vested interest in the place, he deemed it but right and proper that it should have " local habitation and a name," and, accordingly, with his brother, Mr. I. P. Morgan, purchased thirty-four acres of land from Mr. Silas H. Crandall. and had it surveyed and platted, that portion of the business being left in the hands of Mr. (now Professor) W. C. Whitford, who, in addition to numerous other accomplishments, possesses that of surveyor.

THE FIRST POST OFFICE.

There being then a fairly large representation in the village, a meeting was held for the purpose of getting up a petition to the Government asking for the establishment of a post office. The petition was forwarded and the residents made happy by the fact of their petition being granted. An office was established, and Mr. John W. Wood. who, at that time, kept the only store in the village, was transformed into a Federal office-holder by the reception of a letter. appointing him Postmaster. He retained the office three years. being succeeded by Mrs. Frances Bullis, who was in charge one year. She gave way to Mr. J. Cassel, who kept it two years, and was in turn succeeded, in 1868, by Mr. C. F. Bulen. the present incumbent. He receives five mails, consisting of 100 pounds of matter per day, which he disposes of, however, in a satisfactory manner.

EDUCATIONAL FACILITIES.

As far back as 1840, a school was taught by a Miss Olive Hall in the log house then occupied by Mr. and Mrs. Stephen Butz, and, in 1842, a school building was erected near Mr. Henry Crandall's house, but its location did not please that gentleman, and he refused to give a deed to the land, giving as a reason that the children were too noisy, so they were forced to move. and put up a new building. That building was used until 1868, when, at a meeting held on

689

HISTORY OF ROCK COUNTY.

September 28, a committee, consisting of L. T. Rogers, C. Homes and C. W. Clark was appointed for the purpose of canvassing the village with a view to the establishment of a graded school. Apparently, the canvass was a success, for on October 12, the Board decided to raise $1,000 for the purpose of erecting a new schoolhouse, and, on January 13, at a meeting of the legal voters. the Board was instructed to purchase a site. The building was completed in the same year at a cost of $4,000. It is a frame building, 34x50 feet, and has ample accommoda- tion for the number of little ones who throng its interior daily.

In the light of a good example, and also for the purpose of rendering honor where honor is due, the following incident is well worth relating:

" For a long period, unlike the way of the transgressor, which is popularly supposed to be hard, that of the little folks on their way to school was exceptionally soft, particularly in wet weather, and, as there were no funds available for expenditure on sidewalks, the little ones afore- said, under the guidance of their indefatigable teacher, gave an entertainment in the building, which netted them a sum sufficient to construct a sidewalk over half a mile long. As an instance of what education will do, it is a very valuable one.

The following is a list of the Principals since the transformation into a graded school : Daniel W. Burdick, Mrs. Sarah Anderson, Miss Lucinda Estelle, Miss Maggie Schenck, Mrs. Sarah Anderson, Mrs. H. C. Curtis, Mr. O. E. Larkin. The Assistants were Miss Carrie Saxe, Miss T. A. Hamilton, Miss Cora Holmes, Mrs. Harriette M. Wells, Mrs. Ursula W. Green, Mrs. C. L. Burdick, Mrs. M. Larkin, Miss Myrtie I. Larkin and Miss Maggie Mowat.

CHURCHES.

The Seventh-Day Baptist Church was organized on November 15, 1875, with about eighty members. In 1877, the society built their present church, at a cost, including land, of $4,000. It is of wood, 36x55 feet, and will seat about 400 persons. The present membership is 250, who make the living up to its worth of $600 per annum, The following is a list of the first Trustees, who were re-elected and are at present in office : Messrs. W. G. Hamilton, S. G. Burdick, C. S. Vincent, G. S. Larkin, James Pierce and H. B. Crandall. The Pastor is the Rev. L. C. Rogers.

The M. E. Church was organized in 1867, with twenty-five members, who, in the same year, erected the present church at a cost of $3,600. It is a large frame building, capable of seating 250 persons. The first Trustees were Messrs. Joel Wood, Michael Miso, S. C. Carr, R. J. Greenman, I. P. Morgan, Abraham Bullis, I. P. Bullis, S. A. Kennedy and G. T. Mackey. Among the present incumbents of that office are Messrs. Joel Wood, William James, M. Miso and J. S. Badger. The Church is and has ever been supplied by the minister of the same denom- ination resident at Old Milton.

SOCIETIES.

The Seventh-Day Baptist Church Society was incorporated on November 6, 1869, the fol- lowing being the first Trustees : L. T. Rogers, T. S. Larkin, Thomas Price, R. J. Greenman, Clark Needham and A. G. Burdick. The present Trustees are Messrs. L. T. Rogers, R. J. Greenman, C. W. Cornwall, B. F. Tetsworth and Henry Estee.

There is another society of this denomination at Rock River Settlement, which owns a cem- etery and a church. The former was laid out on land donated by Mr. G. N. Coon, and contains one acre and a quarter, the first Trustees being Thomas S. Rogers, James Pierce, Henry W. Green, George N. Coon, Lester J. Rogers and Christopher S. Vincent. The present Trustees are S. S. Pierce, P. H. Maxon, Calvin Hull, S. S. Green, L. T. Rogers and James T. Price. The church known as the Rock River Seventh-Day Baptist Church was organized on April 17, 1856, with sixty members. On June 1, following the organization of the church, Messrs. L. V. Cran- dall, Asa C. Burdick and Lester T. Rogers were elected Deacons of the Church, Asa Burdick being chosen to fill the office of Clerk, which he did with much satisfaction until 1859, when he was succeeded by Benjamin F. Rogers, who held the office until 1861, when he gave place to L. T. Rogers. who has held the office until the present time.

HISTORY OF ROCK COUNTY.

Up to 1863, the members of the Church held their services in the schoolhouse, but in that vear the Church and society erected the present handsome building at a cost of $2,000. It is 32x50 feet, and capable of seating about three hundred persons. It is located on the section line between Sections 7 and 8, on Rock River, near the foot of Lake Koshkonong. At the annual meeting of the Church, held in June, 1875, a committee was appointed to confer with the Seventh-Day Baptist Society at Milton. with a view of uniting with them in securing a Pastor to preach in both localities ; but nothing was ever done, for the reason that the Milton Society had decided to organize a Church at Milton Junction, and desired the Rock River Society to remove their meeting-house to that place. This the Society decided to do, but after the organization of a church at the Junction, some thirty of the members of the Rock River Society united with them, and helped them to build a church.

The present membership of the Church is ninety-six, forty-five of whom are non-resident. The following is a list of the Pastors : 1856-59, Rev. Varnum Hull ; 1860-74, Rev. J. C. Rogers.

During the year 1874, the Rev. Mr. Rogers, after his fourteen years continuous service. resigned, but has continued to preach whenever his health would permit, until the present time.
