HISTORY OF DODGE COUNTY.
Mr. Mackie was aided by his son-in-law,* Joseph Goetschius, who also settled here a few weeks later. The third settler in Beaver Dam was Morris Firmin, and the fourth Jacob P. Brower, the pioneer of Fox Lake.
The settlement of the eastern portion of the county did not begin till 1844-45. Judge Hiram Barber located a claim two miles east of Junean in the spring of 1844, and, in the fall of the same year, John Chandler and family settled a mile west of the present site of Horicon. Chester and E. P. May, and William and Alvin Foster were the founders of Mayville, in the fall and winter of 1845. In his explorations in that vicinity, Chester May discovered a peculiar red earth which he supposed was a species of mineral paint. He and his brother entered the quarter-section upon which the substance was discovered, and afterward took a small quantity of it to a blacksmith in Illinois, who found it to be iron, and extracted enough metal from it to make a pot-hook. Three tons of the ore was taken to a blast furnace at Mishawaka, Ind., where it was pronounced worthless, as the ore would not separate. Undaunted, Mr. May returned to his home and was soon on his way back to the Hoosier State with ten tons of the mineral. A large portion of this was wasted before the discovery was made that the trouble resulted from using marl for flux, this ore requiring none. Out of the remainder, a stove and crowbar were manufactured, with which the delighted owner returned in triumph. This was the discovery of the ore beds now known as Iron Ridge.
The first birth recorded in the county was that of Ira, son of Seymour Wilcox ; the date of the interesting event, April, 1841. . William G. McElroy and a Miss Collins are said to have been the contracting parties in the first wedding in the county, also in 1841. The bridegroom had to travel eighty miles to procure a license. The happy couple made a wedding tour to the house of the bride's father at Emily Lake, in a sleigh drawn by oxen. This was doubtless the first marriage that occurred in the county ; but there was a match matrimonial between Cath- erine, the Milesian maiden who came to Fox Lake with the Brower family, and a man named Craig, in the winter of 1838-39. The cooing couple went from Mr. Brower's house in a sleigh to Fort Winnebago, where the ceremony was performed, and, returning, Catherine resumed her duties as domestic. It is believed that Craig did not belong to Dodge County until after his marriage.
ORGANIZATION.
Prior to 1840, Dodge County (which was created by the Territorial Legislature December 7, 1836, and named in honor of Gen. Henry Dodge, then Governor of the Territory) was attached to Milwaukee County "for judicial and other purposes." The county government was organized in pursuance of an act passed January 13, 1840; and, at an election held the first Monday of the following month, John W. Cole, Peter V. Brown, of Watertown, and Mor- ris Firmin, of Fox Lake, were chosen County Commissioners ; Luther A. Cole, Treasurer : William M. Dennis, Register, and John Fowler and Samuel B. Vinton, Assessors. The Com- missioners held their first meeting March 2, at the house of Hamilton Stevens, in Fox Lake. Morris Firmin was chosen Chairman, and William M. Dennis, Clerk of the Board. In conse- quence of the absence of Luther Cole (who was, at that time, cutting steamboat wood in Arkan- sas), Hamilton Stevens was appointed Treasurer to fill the vacancy. The house of William M. Dennis, of the Fifth Ward of Watertown, was designated for the offices of Register and Clerk. The regular April and July meetings of the Board were directed to be held at the same place, and those of October and January at the place they were then sitting.
As a matter of history, as well as fact, it may be well to state that the first election held n Dodge County was not entirely free from party strife. The Whigs and Democrats were about equally divided, or near enough so to make the election an interesting one. The inevit- able county seat question, then just budding into a first-class political issue, also entered into the contest. Both Fox Lake and Watertown had the county seat fever, and this very naturally created, within the county, a " solid south " and a " solid north." In point of population, the

prospects were in favor of the latter, but the result was a great surprise to the dominant faction. There were two polling-places-one at the house of Hamilton Stevens, in Fox Lake, and the other at the house of William M. Dennis, in the Fifth Ward of Watertown. Each party had its ticket, made up from the respective constituencies, and when the ballots were counted, and the people of Fox Lake found themselves beaten by a majority of seven, they were sadly impressed, and concluded that Watertown must be gaining rapidly in population ; but it was only a little piece of political strategy on the part of that good and great man, William M. Den- nis, who had entertained fifteen of Cole, Bailey & Co.'s mill-hands the night before the election, and voted them the next morning ; that was all. The south was "solid" to the extent of 22 votes, while the north polled but 15.
At the next meeting of the Board (in April), Luther A. Cole (who had made a stake in Arkansas and returned to his home), and Jacob P. Brower, were appointed Assessors in the place of Fowler and Vinton, who failed to qualify. At the July meeting, the Board levied a four-mill tax, and, in October, elected Edmund S. Bailey as Collector. From the statement made by the Board at their January session, 1841, it appears that the tax levy amounted to $159.58, of which $102.71 had been collected, and that the county expenditures had been $126.40 during the year, in addition to which, the percentage due Jefferson County and the Territory made the sum total of liabilities $152.32. The sum due Jefferson County was for court expenses, Dodge being attached to that county for judicial purposes during the previous year and until it was fully organized, when it was assigned to the Third Judicial District, by an act which took effect March 1, 1844.
The above facts and figures are taken from private records still in existence. The unfor- tunate destruction of the county's papers by fire, in September, 1877, has caused no small . amount of annoyance to the compiler in completing this important chapter of the history, and, for the following names and dates, he is chiefly indebted to Luther A. Cole, of Watertown ; Judge Hiram Barber and the Hon. J. B. Hays, of Horicon ; G. W. Brower and the Hon. Ben- jamin Ferguson, of Fox Lake ; the Hon. H. W. Lander and the Hon. David C. Gowdey, of Beaver Dam, and Judge E. C. Lewis and Richard Mertz, of Juneau :
In 1842, John W. Cole, John W. Fowler and Peter V. Brown, were chosen County Com- missioners. Hamilton Stevens and William M. Dennis, continued to hold the offices of Treas- urer and Clerk and Register, respectively, whether by re-election or sanction of the Board cannot be positively ascertained. The meetings of the Commissioners were held at the places before mentioned until July, 1843, when they met in the present town of Oak Grove, in pursuance of an election on the first of May previous ; but, in January, 1844, Fox Lake was made the county seat. An act of the Legislature, approved February 13, 1845, provided for its permanent loca- tion at the geographical center of the county, as soon as the owners of the land should lay ont a suitable village plat of forty acres. The site soon after platted, in compliance with this condi- tion, was first named Victory (in commemoration of the defeat of the Fox Lake county seat champions), but was recorded as Dodge Center, which was subsequently changed to Juneau, in honor of Solomon Juneau.
On the 1st of March, 1844, by an act of the Territorial Legislature, Dodge County was divided, judicially, from Jefferson, and, in April of that year, the first full county ticket for county officers was elected, as follows: Sheriff, Peter V. Brown : Treasurer, Amasa Hyland ; Register of Deeds, Isaac Noyes ; Clerk of the Board and Clerk of the Court (the latter office by appointment by the Judge), William M. Dennis; District Attorney (also by appointment). Charles S. Bristol ; Surveyor, Jacob P. Brower ; Commissioners, Hamilton Stevens, J. P. Brower and Thomas McCaughey.
This Board of officers (with the exception of Sheriff, who held until the fall of 1846) remained in office till the fall of 1845, when an election took place with the following result : Treasurer, James A. Williams ; Register of Deeds, Jacob P. Brower; Clerk of the Board and Clerk of the Court (appointed), William M. Dennis; District Attorney (appointed), A. C. Ketcham ; Surveyor, Judson Prentice ..

THE SUPERVISORS.
With commendable foresight, Sherman & Gowdey, editors of the Beaver Dam Argus, have preserved copies of the printed proceedings of the County Board of Supervisors for the past eighteen years, and we are thereby enabled to give an almost complete list of those serving on the Board since 1860. The system of town representation, then as now, was in vogue-the Chairman of the Town Supervisors, elected in April of each year, serving on the County Board.
At the annual session of the Board held at Juneau November 12, 1861, the following members were present : From the town of Ashippun, George Sanford : town of Beaver Dam. F. H. Kribs; Buruett, A. Lockwood ; Calamus, P. V. Dunn : Chester, Isaac M. Fowler ; Clyman, Connor Dempsey ; Elba, George H. Adams; Emmet, Lawrence Connor : Fox Lake (town), Stephen Collins, as a substitute for D. J. Pulling ; IIerman, Jarius R. Cole ; Hubbard, John W. Stillman ; Hustisford, August Being ; Lebanon, John Douglass; Le Roy, Oscar Terry ; Lomira, F. C. Wilson ; Lowell, W. II. Green; Oak Grove, Charles Billinghurst ; Port- land, Dearborn Clark : Rubicon, N. S. Conklin ; Shields, James Higgins ; Theresa, William Milbrot ; Trenton, C. C. Ammaok : Westford, Oliver Ashley : Williamstown, Jacob St. John ; Beaver Dam City (First. Second and Fourth Wards vacant), Henry Stultz; Watertown, Philip Piper ; Waupun, L. J. Preston ; Fox Lake (village), Benjamin Ferguson ; Horicon, William Decker.
In 1862 (changed to District System, and Supervisors chosen in November, 1861, at the election for Assemblymen); First District, Miles Burnham ; Second, George Price ; Third, Lawrence Connor (Chairman) ; Fourth, Jacob Bodden : Fifth, George Newton. The seats of Messrs. Burnham and Newton, from the First and Fifth Districts, were successfully contested by J. W. Davis and William M. Morse.
This Board was re-elected in 1862, and served till November, 1863, with Jacob Bodden as Chairman, when its members were succeeded by Hiram Sawyer, Chairman, William M. Morse, Andrew Willard, John W. Davis and John C. Bishop.
The succeeding Board, elected in November, 1864, was the same, with the exception of Mr. Davis, P. V. Dunn being returned instead. Mr. Sawyer was Chairman.
1865-First District, Miles Burnham ; Second, Rees Evans ; Third, H. C. Griffin (Chair- man) ; Fourth, Jolın R. Merrill ; Fifth, D. D. Hoppock.
1866-William M. Morse (Chairman), William R. Wilcox, Benjamin F. Gibbs, Rees Evans, and John R. Merrill.
1867-Same Board, with John R. Merrill as Chairman.
1868-Rees Evans (Chairman), William Detloff, George Jess, William M. Morse and War- ren Marston.
This Board, it appears, served till April, 1870, when the old system of town representation having been adopted, the following named individuals were elected : From the town of Portland, L. P. Knowlton; Calamus, J. C. Clark; Westford, Michael McKenna; Fox Lake, G. W. Brower; Trenton, B. F. Gibbs ; Beaver Dam, M. E. Babcock ; Lowell, W. H. Green ; Shields, John Solon; Emmet, E.
