This book contains biographical sketches of residents of Waukesha County and it lists an entry for Harvey Wambold. HARVEY WAMBOLD, proprietor of the Eagleville Mills; born in 1826, in Montgomery Co., Penn.; coming to Wisconsin in 1848, he at once began building mills, building and owning the steam mill at Granville; after helping to build the mill of Bertchey & Carr, Milwaukee, he was employed about six years in keeping two large mills in repair; settling in Eagleville, December, 1871, he bought a five years' lease in the mill and water-power; this is the oldest improved mill site in Waukesha Co., built in 1839, by Dr. Bigelow, the present large mill replacing his about twenty-five years ago; it is provided with three run of stone, and the Kurth patent cockle separator for cleaning seed wheat, costing $300; Mr. W. has cleaned over 1,000 bushels most satisfactorily this spring for the surrounding farmers; all foul seeds and shrunken wheat are completely separated; the machine was made to order, and is specially adapted to the wheat grown in this section; near the mill are the Eagleville m! ineral springs, four in number, the medicinal properties of each being different and all highly spoken of by those using the water, which is carried to all parts of the State. Mr. Wambold married Miss Mary Barndt, by whom he has had five children – Henry, Josephine (Mrs. S. Gale), Milton, Leander and Charles (died April, 1879). Mr. W. and wife are Methodists, he supporting men and principles instead of political parties. I hope this helps with your search. Holly
