Mitchell Sheboygan Press April 29, 1927 History of the Town Mitchell Part 2 Population Grows In 1848, the tide of immigration set in strongly and steadily in this direction. Most of the newcomers being Irishmen, who still form the predominant population of the town, although with the past two or three years, numerous Russian families have settled in the northwestern part of the township. In 1849, the town was organized with the present town of Lyndon. B. F. TROWBRIDGE was elected the first chairman of the board of supervisors. In 1850, the township was independently organized under the name of "Olio" and the following officers were elected: Patrick DONAHUE, chairman; William E. AKIN and William AUSTIN, supervisors; C. W. HUMPHREY, town clerk and superintendent of common schools; Stephen GRAY, treasurer; and Peter PRESTON, assessor. The total number of votes cast was 47. The justices of the peace elected did not qualify. In 1851 the name of the town was changed to Mitchell, as a token of respect to John Mitchell, the Irish patriot, and in commemoration of his efforts in 1848 to relieve his downtrodden countrymen. The Potash Kettles run diagonally through the town from northeast to southwest, dividing it into two portions of nearly equal extent. In the eastern part of the valley are several large springs. Many Good Farms There are few farms in the town where a 20-acre field of uniform soil can be found, though it is mainly calcareous and clay marl, light colored when first plowed, but grows darker on exposure to the atmosphere. It is much more productive than its color indicates. Despite the unfavorable condition of the soil and the rugged topography of the district, there are many very good and productive farms located in the township. The only village settlement is Parnell, which consists of only one store and two hotels, and a blacksmith shop. The first hotel was built by John DOWLING, and the second, known as the East Side Hotel, by John MANLEY for his father-in-law, John LINDSAY. James REILLY established the first blacksmith shop. The first cheese factory in the town was built for Jeremiah REED and was located a short distance east of Parnell. St. Michael's Catholic church was established in 1860 by the Rev. Patrick PETTIT, as a Mission of St. Mary's church at Cascade. The first building used as a house of worship is still standing, being utilized as a garage. Rathbun First Post Office Rathbun was the first post office to be established in the town. The first school house was also located there. The second school was a log house rolled up in 1851 on the town line between the towns of Mitchell and Scott. Miss Maggie HUNT was the first to teach in this school and the second teacher was Miss Eliza LANE. The only mill ever located in the town was a sawmill put up by Albert ROUNSEVILLE, on the Spring Farm, Section 10. This mill was built in the late 50's, and after running it until 1867, ROUNSEVILLE sold the outfit to William TROWBRIDGE, who, a few years later, re-sold it to a man named KRUEGER. George THACKRAY started the first general store at Rathbun a short time before the post office was established there, and he was appointed the first postmaster. Thomas BURKE later built a store in Rathbun, and after conducting it for a few years, sold to Pat SLATTERY, who turned the store over to his brother Dan when he started a garage at Adell.

MITCHELL Sheboygan Press April 29 1927 History of the Town Mitchell Part 1 Early in the spring of 1846, Benjamin TROWBRIDGE, Albert ROUNSEVILLE, James TROWBRIDGE, John SANBORN, Daniel SANBORN, and James O'CAIN, with their families, all from the town of Carolina, near Ithaca, state of New York, came to the present town of Mitchell and settled near the center of Section 12, adjacent to a number of bubbling springs which constitute the head-waters of the Milwaukee river. In September following, James ANGUS, John HURN, John SMITH, E. L. ADAMS and Alfred LAUNSDALE, with their wives and children, all from Wayne county, N.Y., joined the first group of settlers and located in their immediate vicinity. It was the intention of the two parties to form an association, or league, similar to the order of Fourierites, who had several societies in successful operation in western New York. In the winter of 1846 and 1847, eleven families united in a petition to the Territorial Legislature to grant them a charter under the name of the "Spring Farm Phalanx," and Hon. Harrison C. HOBART, then member from the county of Sheboygan, was intrusted with the duty of obtaining from the legislature the necessary Act of incorporation, but under the leadership of Hon. Moses M. STRONG, the opponents were enabled to defeat the project. Three Families Remain Disheartened by the result and lacking the cohesive power of great faith, the little colony gradually dissolved and scattered to other locations, only three of the original families remaining in the township. The widow of B. F. TROWBRIDGE with her two sons, on Section 1, E. L. ADAMS, on Section 12, and James ANGUS, on Section 14. In the mean time, however, these earliest settlers became active and started clearing the lands upon which they had located. They organized a school which was taught in the autumn of 1846 by Miss Sarah HURN. The first birth in the town was George O'CAIN, son to Isaac and Cynthia O'CAIN, in May 1846, and the first death recorded was a seven and a half weeks old infant son of John and Sarah HURN, which occurred on September 9, 1846. In August 1846, R. FRITZ settled on Section 14, and his brother, Edward on Section 23. C. W. HUMPHREY came in February 1847, E. SEEKINS in March, and U. COUSE in May of the same year. Juliette, second daughter of Mr. COUSE was later married to Almond ANDREWS of Plymouth, on August 18, 1848, and his elder daughter was married to George MILLER of the town of Scott. Juliette was married at the residence of her father by Oran ROGERS, who for many years lived in the town of Lyndon. This was the first marriage celebrated within the township.

Sheboygan Press April 29 1927 LIMA - HINGHAM - GIBBSVILLE - WAKEFIELD - SIX CORNERS Part 4 HINGHAM Hingham, the only village of importance in the township, has always been a thriving and beautifully situated little town. Among the early industries located there was a flouring mill originally built by DELAVAN & BALDWIN. A man named LONG later bought BALDWIN's interest in the mill and for a number of years the business was continued under the firm name of DELAVAN & LONG. The property was then sold to a Mr. HUYCK, and while being operated under his ownership, was struck by a bolt of lightning about 45 years ago, resulting in the destruction of the mill and also the dam. A three-story gristmill now stands upon the site of the old mill. Fred KUEHNER, was proprietor of a big hotel and popular dance hall which he conducted for many years. About 48 years ago, this building was also destroyed by fire. One of the most important industries, aside from the flouring mill, was an unusually large wagon-making shop, owned and operated for a number of years by Emery GARDNER. The WOODMAN hall now stands on the ground formerly occupied by the wagon shop. A man named LEASON also owned and operated a smaller wagon shop in the village. He also made wooden pumps. The first two blacksmiths in the village were Martin KOPKA and a man named BARTLETT. KELLER FIRST MERCHANT Probably the first merchant to permanently locate in Hingham was Charles KELLER, father of Mrs. Noah SAEMANN, both of Sheboygan. Mr. KELLER came to the village in 1867, from Washington county, buying farm products which he re-sold to commission merchants in Milwaukee. Soon after arriving in Hingham, Mr. KELLER formed a partnership with Fred A. BALCH, and together they established a general store in the village. A few years later Mr. KELLER bought his partners interest and became sole owner of the business, which he carried on for a number of years afterward. John WISSELINK later bought the store, but after a short time he sold to Jake BRASSER, who in turn disposed of the business to M. D. HASKINS. In 1867, Dr. L. T. COLLER arrived in Hingham, where he soon after established a drug store and practiced his profession as a physician. Dr. COLLER was one of the most popular men residing in that locality, and even to this day, many of the old settlers speak in high praise of this kind-hearted philanthropic man, whose first thought was his duty to his fellow citizens. (This next sentence doesn't make sense, but I'm quoting it as is - K. R.) Dr. COLLER was one of the most ago, deeply mourned by all who knew him. A picture of Dr. COLLER's store appears somewhere in this section. The first shoemaker was a man named WARNER. The first tinsmith was a man named ST. JOHN. Another hotel in the village was owned and conducted for many years by a man named ROSSMAN. The building has since been remodeled and converted into a garage. HILL AFFORDS FINE VIEW One of the most pleasing sights, on a clear day, in the vicinity of Hingham, is the vista from the brow of the hill at the former Lyman D. HILL farm, a short distance west of the village. From this prominence can be seen many of the cities and villages of the county, and on clear days vessels can be seen plying on the waters of Lake Michigan. Mr. Lyman D. HILL was only nine years of age when his parents came to Hingham and settled on Section 36. The lad walked barefooted all the way from Milwaukee driving twelve head of cattle. His mother was the first woman to sleep in Adell. After reaching their destination, the family hastily rolled up a log cabin, roofed with hollow logs, the holes between being filled with moss. Hingham has two churches, the Methodist Episcopal and the Dutch Reformed.

Gibbsville, in Section 26, at one time contained a general store, at which considerable business was transacted, while at Six Corners, located in Section 13, B. BRUECKER conducted a general merchandise business. A church, school house and a few dwelling houses completed the settlement.

Sheboygan Press April 29, 1927 LIMA - HINGHAM - GIBBSVILLE - WAKEFIELD - SIX CORNERS Part 1 GIBBS BROTHERS BUILT LOG CABIN AND MADE THE FIRST CLEARING The first settlement in the town of Lima was made at an earlier date than at any other place in the county, with the exception of the town of Sheboygan and Sheboygan Falls. In the fall of 1836, John D., James H. and Benjamin L. GIBBS, brothers, of the state of New York, came by boat to Milwaukee and settled on the N. E. Quarter of Section 26, town of Lima. This was the first evidence of civilization in the town. Log cabins were soon rolled up, and the following year a clearing of about eight acres was opened and planted to oats and potatoes. For nearly two years this was the only settlement in the town. Milwaukee was the most convenient market where the GIBBS brothers bought groceries, which were brought by mail carrier. Flour was obtained at Sheboygan, from a company dealing in lumber and provisions. In the fall of 1838, Benjamin FARMIN settled on Section 9. The FARMIN cemetery is located on Dye road and in this sacred ground has been buried Mr. FARMIN, members of his family and many of the pioneers who first settled in that section of the county. The following winter Newel UPHAM also settled on Section 9. COME FROM SHEBOYGAN In the spring of 1839, A. G. DYE, removed from Sheboygan where he had lived for about two and one-half years, and settled on Section 8. In the spring of 1840, John JOHNSON removed from Sheboygan where he had lived for about three years, and settled one mile south of the GIBBS brothers, on Section 35. About the same time, Steve and William PALMER came and located on land directly south, on the S. W. Quarter of Section 35. >From the years of 1840 to 1850 a large number of settlements were made in the town, and in the latter year, the town of Lima, which up to that time had been a precinct of the town of Sheboygan Falls, received a separate organization. The first town meeting was held in the school house in Gibbsville, on April 2, 1850, the board of organizers were Hiram HUMPHREY, James FYFE, and Orrin C. JONES. The first town officers elected were: S. ROBERTS, chairman; Hiram HUMPHREY, assistant supervisor; J. D. PARRISH, clerk; Thomas CURRIER, superintendent of common schools. GIBBSVILLE FIRST HAMLET Originally the land in the town of Lima was covered with a dense growth of timber, and for a number of years Gibbsville was the only hamlet located in the town. The soil is of a rich clay loam, and taken as a whole, the town is about as fertile and well adapted to agricultural purposes and dairy pursuits as any in the county. The first school was taught by J. D. GIBBS at his home, Gibbsville, in 1840. The first school house was built at Gibbsville, the original building having since been replaced with a larger and more modern structure. The first religious service was conducted in this school house in the fall of 1840, by Rev. Isaac LEWIS. Elder HITCHCOCK of the First Baptist church, conducted services on January 2, 1847, in the A. G. DYE home at "Wakefield," as the town was then called. This is supposed to have been the first Baptist service held in the town of Lima. The first birth was a daughter to Mr. and Mrs. John GIBBS, in 1839. The first marriage was that of John H. GIBBS and Clarissa TERRY, in 1842.

SHEBOYGAN PRESS September 22, 1917 part II MISS FERGUSON SECURES VERDICT OF $600 IN COURT (Continued from page 1) In their remarks to the jurors Attorneys MEAD and PRESCOTT indicated their belief that the statements on which the suit were based were trivial and not such as to justify bringing a lawsuit. Their contention was that the plaintiff had not shown much feeling at the time the alleged slander was uttered, although ordinarily a women whose character was attacked would act with energy and aggressiveness in reprisal. "No fury like a woman scorned," Mr. PRESCOTT quoted. The fact that the witnesses denying or not hearing the remarks were more numerous than those alleging hearing them was emphasized. Mr. MEAD said it was noteworthy that the plaintiff's witnesses were parrot-like in that their versions of the testimony were practically identical. Mr. ROONEY, in his final address, said that it was greatly to Miss FERGUSON's credit that she had held herself in check when she was addressed by Mrs. BURKE and that her remark to her that "she could tell something about her that would make her hang her head" was only made after she had been attacked. The fact that the plaintiff was at church, the place of all places where he said she should be protected against any unjust accusation, was remarked. "He who steals my purse steals trash, but he who filches from me my purse robs me of that which not enriches him, but makes me poor indeed," said the lawyer in conclusion, quoting Shakespeare.
