William H. Logan, wagon maker and carpenter, was one of the pioneers of
the county. A man of pious inclinations, he went from place to place in the
county where there were but few settlers, distributing religious literature
and organizing Sunday schools in order that the children living in what was
then a wilderness might be reared in the ways of righteousness and piety.
He was born in Portland, New York, Aug. 30, 1826, and after coming West was
married Sept. 9, 1849, at Highland Prairie, this state, to Margaret J.
Hyland, who was born in Hillsburg, New Hampshire, Oct. 27, 1830. In the
early fifties they moved to Sauk county, in this state, and in 1872
homesteaded a quarter section in Dallas township, this county. He watched

useful life passed away on the farm March 19, 1899. His wife died at Stone
Lake, Wis., April 24, 1919. Mr. and Mrs. Logan were the parents of nine
