I would like to add: If you are researching in Wisconsin it pays to take a look at the Milwaukee papers even if your family did not live in the Milwaukee area. I had ancestors residing near Tomah (Monroe County) WI and I found mention of the fire at their sawmill in the Milwaukee area papers (circa 1880's). Prior to finding this article in the Milwaukee papers, I was not aware of the fire! (On a fluke chance, I found mention of the family surname in the newspaper index on file at the Milwaukee library.)
