Nance, Oh well what the heck I thought I'd try. I thought that I read your grandmother's last name was DeLine....I guess I got so excited that I read it incorrectly. Thanks for the reply though.

How can I get information on The Sacred Heart Cemetery in Eau Claire? Ruth Ann

I do believe they are likely still there, but I can check for sure tomorrow on my way home from work. First Avenue faces the Eau Claire River and while some of the houses may have been torn down, most of them are still there. Fifth Ave hasn't had much torn down, so that place is likely there also. Is there something particular you wanted to know about them? They are likely still residences. I can let you know for sure tomorrow. Nancy

Hi Nance, I read somewhere that your grandmother's name was DELINE. It just so happens that my grandmother's maiden name was DeLine. Her father was William H. DeLine from Walworth County, WI.

Well, no baby yet! But they're working on it! :~) So I thought I'd type up this last segment of the chapter "Beginnings" and have that completed anyway. This is from the book "Sawdust City" by Lois Barland and used with permission only. Richard F. Wilson The "Daily Wisconsin," in its July 11, 1867 issue described Mr. Wilson's arrival thus: "Tin the spring of '54 a small sized pale faced, curly haired, sharp looking young man who had figured as a sergeant-at-arms in Madison was appointed to select State and University lands. He came up the Chippewa and forsaw the possibilities of a city here. That year he went on with his land hunting. The spring following he was joined by Henry Gleason, an enthusiast like himself. They bought out the half interest of Gage and Reed and laid out the plot of the village of Eau Claire. All the old politicians of the state recollect the winter of '55-'56 when Dick Wilson and Gleason figured so extensively in the legislature. About every other bill concerned Eau Claire. An 'Improvement Company' bill, a ferry charter, University, county seat, eight different state roads and six railroad charters, all made to center and radiate from Eau Claire. The governor, state officials, together with leaders in the legislature were provided with town lots or had streets named after them." He was born in Maryland in 1825. His first business in Eau Claire was banking as he was the senior member of Wilson, Gray and Bellinger banking house. He secured the location of the Land Office here in 1856. Two years later he opened a brick yard on the west side. Just before the Civil War he tried farming and built a house on the west bank of the Chippewa just below the Dells. After that he went into a lumber yard business with E. R. Foster and their yard was located in the rear of the "Free Press" office. By 1866, the lumber yard had been burned out three times in three years. Mr. Wilson and his wife, Martha, lived for many years on the south west corner of Farwell and Gray. The house still stands behind the Christian Science church (1960) which wasn't built at the time. The partnership with Mr. Foster was dissolved in 1868 and sometime after that he and his son E. N. Wilson lived near Brechenridge on the St. Paul and Pacific railroad. In 1878 Mr. Wilson was tearing down his old boarding house and barns on the west side and shipping them to Manston, Minnesota. By 1882, he was back in Eau Claire and associated with the Pioneer Company. The next year, with his son, E. N., and others, he incorporated with LaFayette mills. This same son graduated from Rush Medical school in 1887. Together with Captain Wilson of Menomonie and W. T. Price of Black River Falls, R. F. Wilson secured the location of the West Wisconsin and the Milwaukee and St. Paul railroads here. He was also the father of the Dells Improvement Company. He gave Wilson and University parks to the city. Dick and his wife who was described as a "big, good-looking woman" had other children. Nellie and Katherine, who was described as a "beautiful blond who had all the boys crazy about her" married D. Sale in 1897 and moved to Los Angeles. The Williams House mentioned by Mr. Leavens was built in 1870 by George W. Williams, who converted his livery barn into the hotel. It was on River Street (Graham Avenue) on the southwest corner of the intersection with Gibson. It sat back along the river and had a "grand promanade balcony extending around three sides almost reaching the river." It contained 52 sleeping rooms all with spring mattresses and the dining room seated 140. Mr. S. P. Greenman, host of the House constructed a skating rink 50 feet by 124 feet next to the hotel. When the hotel had been opened less than a month it was threatened by a fire which broke out near the Grand Avenue bridge. It was conducted for a while by Chauncey Chandler and sold in 1874 to Mr. Peabody and the name changed to Peabody House. Mr. Peabody made extensive repairs, bricked the outside and put in a furnace made by Noah Shaw's foundry. By 1898, it was known as the Windsor House and its destruction by fire on September 23, 1898 was spectacular. It burned during the night and the inmates jumped from windows in their night clothes. Mrs. Jule Churchill fell four stories with her clothes on fire. She was the wife of a former fire chief. She was taken to the Charles Lange house across the street. Mrs. Robert McLeod threw her baby out the window and J. M. Charles caught it unhurt. Mrs. McLeod jumped and was also caught. The hotel was a total wreck. There was not enough water pressure for the fire department to save it. It was then owned by J. R. Campbell and his loss was over $6000. William H. Gleason who platted the east side with Dick Wilson was born June 28, 1829 and admitted tot he bar in 1856. His father and mother were Enoch and Elizabeth Gleason and Charles R. was his brother. In 1857 he was surveyor of Eau Claire County, President of the bank of Eau Claire, Land Agent and Notary Public. The next year he sold his warehouse and levee on t he river to J. S. Morrison a nd bought an interest in the New York Store conducted by Welles Cook. Foster, Hones, Cook and Gleason built a three story brick store on Barstow Street in 1870, which burned in 1873. He also owned Mt. Simon. He moved to Florida for his health about 1870. Charles Gleason came to Eau Claire in 1860 and built a residence at the northeast corner of Seaver and Farwell. He was elected a village trustee in 1869 and city clerk three years later. He was born in Tomphins County, New York, in 1831 and held office at the capitol in Madison from 1856 to 1860, the last two years as chief clerk of the state land department. He represented Eau Claire County in the State Legislature in 1879 and was city Clerk from '72-'79. ++++++++++++++++++++ So that's the end of the chapter titled "Beginnings." When we get back together, we will be reading about "Lumbering" which will include information about the various lumber mills in the Eau Claire area. I hope it won't be too long before I can get started on this, but feel it would be unfair to you all to do it in jumps and spurts. But don't worry, I'll be back soon! :~) I will also be checking my mail regularly so if anyone needs a lookup in any of the resources that I have, I'll still be able to do those. Now I'm gonna go and see if we have a baby yet. Oh, it's gonna be fun being a grandma! :~) -- Nance mailto:nsampson@spacestar.net

Here is another portion of the story that we started yesterday, which was told by H. P. Leavens of his first time coming to Eau Claire (in 1857) via a steamboat, and what happened when he got there. This is from Lois Barland's book "Sawdust City" and is used with permission. A little incident while employed in this Barn Store occurred in which the late Seth Fish was the principal actor. Mr. Fish was working at this time on the new church being built by the Congregationalist people for Rev. Kidder. One Saturday evening he came into the store, which had only a rough board interior finish, and wanted to purchase a pair of trousers. I showed him what we had, and the only pair that suited in color and texture was both too long and many sizes too large about the waist, but he said he could remedy that all right, and if I would call on him next morning (Sunday) he would show me how to do it. I did call, and found he had taken out enough cloth from the seat and from the legs to make another small garment, and at this time he was resewing this new pair of trousers, so that in the afternoon he came out with this new garment fitting him as perfectly as though tailor-made, and he had goods enough left for patches as long as the trousers would last. Self reliance was not only a virtue, but a necessity in those primitive days, and Seth Fish at this time was a master workman in that particular. In the old days, that ridge of sand and gravel east of the city, extended almost to the bank of the Eau Claire river, leaving only room for a highway between its terminal and the river bank. Along the summit of this was a well trodden path frequented on pleasant Sunday afternoons by strollers, who took delight in looking down upon this young settlement and its attractive environments. To the west and south the Chippewa, after leaving the rival burg called Randall town, made a crooked pathway in its course toward the Mississippi, though through Eau Claire proper, it presented a beautiful picture with Half Moon Lake as a background setting. There was no dam or obstruction at this time across the Chippewa so that the waters of this beautiful stream had an unobstructed flow; save what had been wrought in the establishment of a ferry at the foot of Eau Claire Street. A natural bar in the Chippewa at the outlet of the Eau Claire furnished a splendid base for a mid-river crib, to which was fastened a long rope that was attached to a flat bottom scow, with a windlass at either end to change the angle of the boat so that the current would supply the motive power to operate this primitive or pendulum transfer. Neither steam or electric power had at this time been harnessed for this, or similar purposes; only such power as the great natural forces of water was available for our use in the west. There was a dam across the Eau Claire, and the power from which ran the saw mill operated by Chapman-Thorp & Co. The largest mill near by was the one at Chippewa City, the only rival town in the Chippewa Valley, except Randall town at the outlet of Half Moon Lake, There was not a bridge across either river; though below the dam on the Eau Claire, a comfortable fording place was found across this stream. The business street was Eau Claire Street; though some lines of traffic had swung around the corner of the Eau Claire House on Barstow Street for a single block. Diagonally across from the Peoples Clothing Store of this day was quite a pretentious hardware store. It was a two story frame building with battlement front and the Barn store referred to was located in the rear of this, though the brush had not been cleared away sufficiently to determine the outline of the street boundaries, so that a few feet in or outside the line made little difference. I have in my possession and use a razor purchased during the summer of '57 in this hardware store. It is known as a rattler; but bears no relationship to those rattlers at the foot of the bluffs on the way to Dick Wilson's potato patch. Referring to the location of the Williams House, I am not as reliable as to its actual location, as I am as to the temperature of the house in mid-winter. Though am quite sure it was on the bank of the Chippewa between the bridge and Eau Claire Street near the corner of Gibson. Coming down from St. Paul over the old West Wisconsin railroad one cold winter day; there had been a heavy fall of snow that delayed the train, so that when we reached the big woods we became stalled, and about eight o'clock in the evening our conductor ran his train back to Baldwin for supper, then resuming our journey we reached the station of Wilson sometime after midnight. This town was then but a lumber camp. The fires were burning brightly in the camp, for the cook was up and at this early morning duties. The sight of his blazing fire and the smell of his baked beans made us all hungry again so the conductor permitted us to visit the camp for a possible lunch. The cook responded promptly and gave us a plate of beans, every one of which struck the spot, also a few slices of bread and butter which soon satisfied our hunger; but the coffee! It was delicious, though black as your hat. Bob Parkinson in his palmy days never served a more appetizing lunch than this lumber camp repast proved to be. After leaving the big woods our train made much better time, and we reached Eau Claire shortly before daylight, and were taken to this old Williams House and put to bed. If Doctor Cook found in his explorations in search of the North Pole, any colder spot than the sleeping rooms of this hotel were that zero morning, his discovery of any sort of an arctic pole ought not to be questioned. Mr. Bostworth ran the Eau Calorie House in '57 and was always advertising the price of salt pork. He said he paid $50 for a barrel for his last purchase, and so far as I recall, the price never changed while he was the proprietor. He kept a good house though, and did a profitable business. He has long since passed away, together with so many of the 1857 settlers that I forbear extending this narrative further. The memories of those days however, are as fresh and green as though but a decade has passed since I first landed in your now beautiful city. I left Eau Claire in the fall after these stores were consolidated and have made Neenah my home ever since. Another little incident in which I participated: The Rev. Kidder, then a young minister, had located in Eau Claire, and in the year 1857 was erecting a church building near where I was boarding. Meantime he was holding services in Reed's Hall on Eau Claire Street, about midway of the block, on the north side of the street. The hall had very little furniture at that time; a plain little table for a desk, a couple dozen unpainted chairs in the center of the room, and the usual row of bench seats along the sides of the hall, was all the furniture it contained. One beautiful bright summer morning the little handful of worshipers had assembled for the Sabbath morning service. Rev. Kidder was radiant with hope and happiness, as he always was on a Sabbath morning, having read the morning lesson and but just concluded his morning prayer, when suddenly, as though a thunder tone had pierced the blue dome above him, the steamboat from below blew its whistled coming up the river. Quicker than I am able to relate it, one after another of his audience shot out of that hall door and down stairs they went, to see the boat come in, until the Rev. Kidder unfortunately did not have a single soul to preach to. His people were seemingly more interested then, in haring the news from below, than they were in hearing his message from above." +++++++++++ Only one more segment of the "Beginnings" left and then I may be taking a break for a little while. Today could prove to be the day that I am made a grandma for the first time! (I'll know more later today!) I'll keep you posted and I'll also try to get that last segment on tomorrow too! :~) Take care all! -- Nance mailto:nsampson@spacestar.net

I am attempting to find where several members of my family are buried in the Eau Claire area. The names are as follows. birth dates late 1800 maybe 1880 forward. Beyrl no birtdate listed approximate date of death 1956 -1958( I would guess in his 30's considering that he had an Australian wife that he met on R& R during WWII and his eldest son was born in 1947) George, Robert, Dorothy(killed), Sam, Frank, Gene, Albert This person may lend a clue as well since his name was listed on the paper with the other information regarding the Campbell's Alex Salles Macomber family including but not limited to the following: Sylvester Macomber 1836 biography writen on this website...played a part in the Civil War and was apparently an ambitious man Joseph Alanson Macomber b.August 3 1817 William Feb 29 1820 Darius Ict 27 1822 Sarah Macomber Feb 7 1827 Elisha Macomber June, 6 1831 Orville Orin Longshore Macomber April 9 1834 Ephram Macomber Nov 23 1838 Wesley Macomber Dec 19 1841 Leroy Macomber March 24 1844 Also The name Eaton would figure promanently with these other 2 families...all families were in the logging and lumbering industries. Some were also in farming. They lived in the Eau Claire area (Bridge Creek, Ludington, Eau Claire, Augusta, Cadott) Any help would be gratefully accepted.
