    2. Grignon's Mill A sawmill on the Wisconsin R built by the partnership of Grignon and Merrill in 1836; it was the second sawmill built on the river. It stood on the W side of the river in sec 36,T22N,R5E, at about the end of Market St in the present village of Port Edwards. The name Grignons appears as late as 1859 even though by 1851 Grignon had sold his mill to his partner, Sam Merrill. Grignon's Rapids A rapids on the Wisconsin R supposed to have been at the site of Grignon's mill in sec 36, T22N, R5E, and so called for Merrill's partner, Grignon. But Theodore Brazeau and J Marshall Buehler locate these rapids at the site of "Grignons Trading and Farming Establishment" in northern Adams Co. This view finds support in the fact that the rapids on sec 36 N of Merrill's sawmill and dam are not named in the 1851 survey, even though the Grignon-Merrill mill had been built there years before. Grimm's Addition A subdivision of Arpin, of which the only record is found in Ogle 1909 and Brock 1928. The plat included an area bounded by Main and Elm streets, and 1st Ave. Jacob Grimm owned the land for which the plat was made. Grode and Nash Addition A subdivision of Nekoosa. The plat, which was surveyed on July 19, 1921, and recorded on June 4, 1925, was taken out by F X Grode and J P Nash, apparently local residents. Guthier's Corners See Gauthier's Corners
