PELTON
     Among the very earliest of Gustavus's pioneers was the Pelton family.
Josiah Pelton, a native of Connecticut, came here in the year 1800, and
purchased the north half of the Township.  He remained one year, and then
returned, in the spring of 1802, and brought his family, consisting of wife
and eight children.  He settled in Vernon Township til he built a house and
cleared some land, and then they all came here.  
     One of his sons, Julius P., was married to Miss Hannah Folsom on the 12th
day of February, 1810.  Result of this union, six children; four boys and two
girls; five of whom are living.
     Mr. Pelton lived at centre of town, and followed the occupation of a
farmer.  He was a worthy member of the Methodist Episcopal Church.  In
politics a Whig, and afterwards a Republican.  He lived in the confidence of
his people, and died respected by all, June 12, 1862.  His wife survives him,
and is a strong, intelligent lady.  She lives with her son, Buell B., who is
the kind donor of this short sketch.  Mr. Pelton is the oldest citizen in
town, being eighty-eight years of age.
