Hi, In the "History of Winnebago Co., Wisc. and Early History of the Northwest" written by Richard J. Harney, Mr. Harney copied extracts from a publication issued by the Omro Journal. The article tells of N. Frank arrivintg in Omro, Winnebago Co., in 1850. It states that in 1850, N. FRANK came up the river on the steamer "Badger". It goes on to say Mr. Frank put up a building at the south end of the bridge, the same building which Thompson & Hayward later used for a paint shop and office, and Frank built a dock. N. Frank was taken a prominent part in the History of Omro. He was also justice of the peace for 22 years. He was still alive in 1879. Does anyone know what the N. stands for? Does anyone know the names of his wife and children? Does anyone know where he came from or what areas the steamer "Badger" serviced? Thanks i advance for any help you maygive me. Clare
