Population Lincoln County 1875 = 895 In 1874 Gov. Wm. Taylor decreed that Lincoln County be established. March 4, 1874, Lincoln County contained Iron, Vilas, Price, Oneida, Lincoln and Langlade Counties. Total land area 2,750,000 acres. When Lincoln County was formed from the above Counties, it was attached to Marathon County for Judicial purposes. However a clamor arose for Lincoln County to have its OWN judge, and on April, 6, 1875, F. C. Weed was elected the first county judge. All areas in Lincoln County were known as the Town of Jenny but in time the boundaries became the present town of Merrill when the town of Jenny became the City of Merrill, Wisconsin. The first new towns of Pine River, Corning, and Rock Falls (Originally Skanawan) were established in 1876. In 1881, came the town of Scott. Russell was formed in 1885. Harrison came into being in 1889. The town of Tomahawk was created in 1898 from a portion of Rock Falls. King was established around the turn of the century. On Nov. 19, 1902, the town of Birch was established. Bradley and Somo were set off from parts of tomahawk in 1903 and 1905 respectively. Also, in 1903, portions of Pine River and Russell were detached to form the town of Schley. Wilson was set off from a section of Somo in 1912 and Skanawan from King at the same time. The last township to be set up was Harding, which was taken from the town of Scott. These are the political configurations of today.

Surnames: Olson/Olsson/Swigert Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/0EC.2ACE/641 Message Board Post: I am seeking information on my Great-Aunt, Ingeborg Amanda Olson. I have been able to locate a letter from her, sent from Tomahawk, Wisconsin, dated 1902, to her sister in Gotland, Sweden. Inga apparently was employed in Tomahawk, and lived just a few doors away from where she was employed. I believe she left Sweden with her sister,Hilda Henrietta, in 1886. I also believe she spent some time in the Chicago area. Would it be possible for someone to check records of Lincoln County to see if she's listed anywhere? She just suddenly appears in Tomahawk...then at a later date (1921) she was in Colorado. I believe she married someone with a Swigert surname, but I am unsure of the spelling. Any help, information or clues as to how to pursue this "lead" will be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Tomahawk Leader July 3, 1908 INVENTS STUMP PULLER F. A. Barbeau works out idea for machine which promises to be the best of them all! F. A. Barbeau of Tomahawk is the inventor of a stump puller which promises to be the best machine designed for the clearing of land. Andrew Oelhafen is furnishing financial backing required for the manufacture required of the stump puller. One machine already has been built and is in use on the Oelhafen farm. Other machines are now under construction at the Oelhafen Saw Mill. " If we can sell enough machines we will build a factory to employ 100 or more men, " said Mr. Oelhafen in speaking of the new invention. "It looks like a good thing, the best of its kind. The trials given the first machine built certainly show up well." The stump puller, it is claimed, will pull the biggest white pine stumps with only two men to operate it. It works rapidly and requires only 2 men to work the levers and one horse to move the machine from stump to stump. No long test has been given the puller and it is not yet known how much land can be gone over with it in a day. The price of the machine will only be $75.00 and if it is successful as it promises to be it will prove a great thing for the owners of cutover land. One of the completed pullers will be exhibited at the Fourth of July Parade tomorrow. Mr. Barleau, the inventor, is a laboring man who came here from Rhinelander several years ago. His home is on Wisconsin Avenue and Fifth Street. Dawn [email protected]
