BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES :

couple immediately removed to Wisconsin in search of a home and fortune in the then Far West ; he came to Beloit and engaged in the mercantile business for one year ; they then went to Neenah, at that time a small settlement ; he built and commanded as captain the first steamboat that ever parted the placid waters of Lake Winnebago, called the " Van Ness Barlow;" this enterprise proved too far in advance of the necessities of the day, and he lost all his investment, the earnings of a number of years' hard labor ; shar- ing in the excitement of the gold discoveries of California, he then went across the plains to the Golden State, and engaged in the lumber trade, which proved largely remunerative, but afterward invested in numerous unfortunate speculations and lost all; next he established in Denver, Colo., in the mercantile business, and later again in San Francisco, and in a great measure regained his lost fortune; during these and the two or three succeeding years he traveled largely through the British Possessions, Southern and Central America, returning to make his home with his family in Oconomowoc, afterward removing to Fond du Lac. In 1861 he applied to President Lincoln, with strong recommendations, and received the appointment as U. S. Marshal for Colorado Territory ; while there he built the first prison erected in the Territory ; the issues of the war brought on difficulty to the Federal offices, and Mr. Townsend shared with others in having charges preferred against him at the department in Washington; he went at once to Washington aud demanded an investigation, and the final outcome was that President Lincoln, who became so strongly attached to him that he tendered him the choice of commission for a number of vacan- cies in the civil service, among them, paymaster of the Navy, position of Auditor in the Treasury Depart- ment, or as Indian Agent of Idaho Territory ; the latter appointment he accepted in 1863, serving two years ; after resigning this Federal position he engaged in business in San Francisco for the third time, in which venture he was very successful ; in 1868 he again took up his residence in Oconomowoc, but soon after engaged as a traveling salesman for a New York firm, at a liberal salary. Mr. Townsend's extensive travels and varied experience, led him to believe that Oconomowoc, with her great picturesque beauty and natural advantages, was destined to become a resort for tourists ; so thoroughly was he impressed with this idea, that he resolved to invest his accumulated means in a hotel for this purpose solely ; the venture was a risky one, but with his characteristic enterprise he staked his all upon his well-grounded opinion that success would crown his efforts; in February, 1870. he began building the Townsend House, the first hotel in the State exclusively for tourists ; by the following June the hotel was complete, furnished and opened to the recep- tion of guests. Mr. Townsend is surely the originator of the summer resort business of the West ; to him more than to any other individual is due the credit of making Oconomowoc her reputation as a resort ; four successful seasons followed, and the Townsend House was found too limited in accommodation ; in 1874 the hotel was doubled in size, and the two disastrous seasons which followed; found the proprietor almost hopelessly involved in debt. As a writer Mr. Townsend was clear and concise, and his descriptions of some of his travels through the West are almost " word paintings ; " his articles appeared in the Badger, to which he was quite a regular contributor, over the signature of " Tragic ; " his close observation, extensive travels and great descriptive ability gave him much power as a lecturer, and in his travels as a business man he was often called upon to give public lectures on his travels and adventures among the Mormons in the great Salt Lake Valley, which were " very spicy, entertaining and instructive." Copeland Townsend was a man of strong mind and had decided opinions upon all social and political questions ; he possessed indomi- table will power, and had the courage to carry it out ; his travels and profession as a hotel keeper made him a large acquaintance, and his eccentricities doubtless made him some enemies-rare indeed are the men who have none. He was an enterprising and public-spirited citizen ; he was a leader rather than a follower of opinion; as a conversationalist few men could be more entertaining or agreeable as a compan- ion ; in his death Oconomowoc loses a good citizen, and his family a beloved and respected father. Mr. Townsend leaves a widow and three children-two sons, Eldridge G. and Copeland, and a daughter, Clara, now Mrs. Dr. Dorion, of St. Paul ; they had lost a daughter, Love, who died Sept. 6, 1874, at the age of 8 years. Mr. Townsend was a Swendenborgien in his religious opinions, and was of strictly relig- ious inclinations.

Y., and emigrated with him to Wisconsin in 1850; he engaged in saw-milling and lumbering for five years, in the town of Caledonia, Racine Co .; removing to Fulton, Rock Co., in 1855, he engaged in the grocery
