Fuller, a pioneer of 1859 in his own right and of 1852 by marriage, was born in Middletown, Mass., March 4, 1832 ; in this small farming town he spent his childhood years getting his primary education in the district school. When 19 years old he began his preparation for college at Wilbraham Academy, Massachusetts, and upon graduation entered Amherst college in 1854, graduating in 1858 at the age of 26. Having thus prepared himself for the work of teaching, he came the following spring to Appleton, reaching here in May, 1859; he immediately entered upon his work in what is now known as the Hercules school building, then unfinished. Seventeen of the best years of his life have been devoted to his chosen vocation, five of which were in this city. Mr. Fuller served three as pro- fessor of mathematics in Straight University, New Orleans and held the same chair four years in Atlanta University, Georgia. He served one year as principal of the high school in De Pere, where he also had the oversight of all the public schools. He also has served as superintendent

JAMES DEAN.
J. Dean was born in the village of Martensburg, Lewis county, in the state of New York, on the 20th day of Sep- tember, A. D. 1821. When I was about eight years old, my father moved from Martensburg to the town of Turin, Louis county, where he bought a farm, and lived there till I was sixteen years old. I went to school in a log school house, and sat on the soft side of a basswood slab, flat side up, with legs put in with a two inch auger ; went to school winters and worked on my father's farm in the summers. In the winter of 1836 my father sold his farm, and the 18th day of May, 1836, we started for the western JAMES DEAN. country. We came to Rome, N. Y., in wagons -thirty miles-then we took a boat on the Erie Canal for the city of Oswego, for at that time Buffalo harbor was still frozen up and no vessels could get out or into Buffalo from the city of Oswego. We took passage on a schooner across Lake Ontario, then through the Welland canal in Canada to Detroit, Mich. My father spent about two weeks looking through Michigan, then we took passage on a schooner for Wisconsin. We landed in Milwaukee on or about the 18th day of June, 1837 ; lived in Milwaukee most of that summer, then my father moved out to his farm in the town of Muskego, on the shore of Muskego Lake, Wisconsin. At that time Wisconsin was one of the most beautiful countries the human eye ever beheld-one
280

vast field of flowers, red, white and blue and all colors ; the country was more then alive with all kinds of game. I was well acquainted with Solomon Juneau. He would come out to my father's with his wife and stay there for a week at a time. He was one of the most sociable and the best company of any man I ever visited with. I was also acquainted some with Byron Kilbourn and George Walker. They were very pleasant men to meet. I lived in Muskego with my father (with the exception of two years that I lived in Milwaukee) till 1846; then I got married to Betsey Nichols, of Monroe county, N. Y., and moved out to Dodge county and went to farming. April 22, 1872, my wife died, leaving me with two children, F. H. and E. J. Dean. My niece kept house for me for one year, then I was married, in the spring of 1873, to Olive G. Harris. Lived there on the farm till 1876, then sold my farm and in 1877 moved to the then village of Seymour, Outagamie county, and went into the hardware business with my two boys, F. H. and E. J. Dean. I have one son by my second wife, Charles Dean, living with me now.
In 1878 and 1879 we built a branch store at Bonduel, in the town of Hartland, Shawano county ; we carried on the store there for four or five years when it burned up; we rented a store for a year, then sold out. I then bought out my two boys F. H. and E. J. Dean in the store at Seymour and ran it for one year, I then sold out the store. My present business is loaning money and real estate business. I have represented the First ward of the city of Seymour as supervisor on the county board for eleven years ; have been justice of the peace for eight years, hold that office at the present time ; also have been president of the Seymour Fair and Driving Park Association for two years ; am now in my seventy-fifth year ; my health is good and must say I do not feel very old. My father, Henry H. Dean, was born in England, May 5, 1784; he was drafted in the Eng- lish Army in the war between England and France; he was a soldier for twelve years; he was in Lord Welling- ton's Army ; he was in most of the heavy battles of that war. He was in the army that took Joseph Bonaparte and

his army prisoners ; he was wounded four times in one day ; he came with his regiment to Canada very near the close of the war of 1812. In the spring peace was declared and he came across to the American side and became an Amer- ican citizen ; he lived to be 90 years and six months old ; he lies buried on Prospect Hill, in Waukesha county, Wis- consin.

Downer received a good common school education in Dodge county and passed the first eighteen years of his life on the farm. Desiring a change of occupation he then engaged in lum- bering, spending eleven winters in that business, working for different firms and meeting with good success. Later he became a contractor on a small scale. We find him next operating a well improved farm of eighty acres in Seymour township, Outagamie county, which he sold in the fall of 1891.

Each succeeding year he has made marked im- provements and has the love of the 113 unfortunate people who are under his charge. He has become prominent through the exercise of those natural qualities which stamp him a man of true worth and enjoys the respect and esteem of all.

Boyd was appointed Indian agent at the Island of Micheli- mackinac in 1818. He came to Washington again in 1820. and returned with his family. Lieut. James Madison Boyd attended school at Mackinac, William Montague Ferry being one of his teachers. When he was 16 years old, he. removed with his father to Green Bay, his father having been transferred to this place.
The Government, having determined to transport Black Hawk beyond the Mississippi, called upon the Indian agent for volunteers. Two hundred Menominee Indians came in and Mr. Boyd enlisted. July 26, 1832, he was appointed first lieutenant under Col. Stambaugh. He marched with the two companies to Prairie Du Chien, taking part in several encounters with the hostile bands of Indians. He returned after the close of the war in September. The winter of 1833 and 1834 he opened in Kaukauna, entering into partnership with Paul Beaulieu in a saw mill and sawed a large amount of lumber. . The next year the Stockbridge Indians, who were then located at Kaukauna, began to remove to their new home on Lake Winnebago in Calumet county. On this account he sold his interest to Bazil Beaulieu and returned to Green Bay, where he con- tinued to act as interpreter to his father, the Indian agent, and manage his farm. In 1839 he married Maria M. Lawe, daughter of Judge John Lawe, purchasing a farm half- way between Green Bay and De Pere on the south side of the river. He continued to live here until 1873, sold his farm and removed to De Pere, where he built a brick block and opened a furniture store. In 1879 his wife died and in 1881 he came to Kaukauna again to reside, making his home with his daughter, Mrs. H. B. Tanner.
