Book Title: Madison, Dane County And Surrounding Towns...

DANE COUNTY TOWNS.

MEDINA.
BY FRANK L. MORRILL, ESQ.

  THE brief space allotted to us in this work will admit of but a meagre sketch
of the general outlines of the township, together with a hasty review of some of
the most important incidents which have transpired within its borders. At its
close we shall endeavor to take a glance at its present condition and prospects,
and the inducements here offered by nature, as utilized and developed by
enterprise.

  LOCATION.—Medina is one of the eastern tier of towns in Dane county. It is
designated by government survey as town eight (8), range twelve (12), east. It
is bounded on the north by the town of York, on the east by the town of
Waterloo, on the south by the town of Deerfield, and on the west by the town of
Sun Prairie. The town is abundantly supplied with water, a small stream, the
Indian name of which is "Maunesha," now called Waterloo creek, passing entirely
through it. It enters the township at the northwest corner and runs nearly
parallel with, and in no place more than two miles distant from the north
boundary line. All of the opening lands were formerly covered with a moderate
growth of the different varieties of oak natural to this clime, interspersed
with hickory, ash and basswood. The general surface of the township is level.
The western part contains about one thousand acres of handsome, rolling prairie,
while near the center of the town, the site of the present thriving village of
Marshall, there are about five hundred acres of beautiful a prairie openings."
The remainder of the township consists of "burr oak openings," interspersed with
some of the finest marsh lands in the state; a large portion of which, by means
of draining and seeding, have been converted into highly valuable hay land. With
the exception of a very small portion of poor marsh in the southern part, there
is scarcely an acre of waste land in the town.

  The soil, with the exception of the prairie, is mostly a red clay loam, and
equals any part of the state in the production of wheat and other cereals. It
was here that the celebrated "Judkins wheat" was introduced into the county, by
B. F. Judkins, the yield of which, during the last year (1876), ranged from
twelve to twenty-six bushels per acre. Among other important products of the
town, we might mention hops, tobacco and onions, which have all been
successfully raised to considerable extent. The present population of the
township numbers about fifteen hundred; the most populous township, with one
exception, in the county. The town was first settled, principally, by Americans
from the states of New York, Vermont and Pennsylvania, together with quite a
number of English families, who located in the southwestern part. In 1846, the
Norwegians began to locate in the town, and at present there is a large
settlement of them. Of those who came in that year, but two families now remain,
those of Ole and Halver Aspinson. About 1864-65, the Germans also began to
immigrate and settle in the eastern part of the town, and now constitute about
one-fourth of the inhabitants of the entire township. Scattered throughout the
town are a few Protestant Irish.

  The religious character of the town is one of its commending virtues. Nearly
one-half of the whole population of the town are members of some religious
denomination. Among these are the Episcopal Methodists, who are a strong and
prosperous body; the Close Communion Baptists, of whom there are a goodly
number; a large number of Free Methodists; a strong church of German Methodists;
while the majority of the Norwegians are connected with the Lutheran Church.

  But while the morals of the people are thus carefully guarded, the educational
interests of the town have not been neglected. There is probably not a town in
the state which can boast of better educational advantages than Medina, with her
far famed academy, her fine public school buildings, her efficient corps of
teachers, and the excellent attendance of her children at school. The town is
divided into ten districts, two of them joint, in each of which there is a
comfortable school house, amply supplied with all the modern appliances and
conveniences.

  The town contains two villages; Marshall, the oldest and principal one, which
is beautifully situated near the center of the town, on a level plateau, on the
south bank of Waterloo creek; it contains over three hundred inhabitants, and is
compactly and neatly built, containing many tasty white brick residences, a fine
academy building, three stories high, built of white Watertown brick; two
churches, Methodist and Baptist; one of the largest town halls in the county; an
excellent school house, built of white brick; a large brick hotel; a first class
flouring mill; two wagon and carriage shops; several stores; two harness shops;
two boot and shoe shops; together with warehouses and depot buildings, lumber
yard, cheese factory, livery stables, and the customary saloon accompaniments.
Deanville, situated one and a half miles west of Marshall, is a neat little
prairie town of about one hundred inhabitants, and is an excellent grain market,
being the center of a large and fertile wheat producing district. It contains
some very tasty residences, warehouses, lumber yards, one store, a blacksmith
shop, boot and shoe shop, etc.

  EARLY HISTORY. — The first land entered within the limits of what is now
"Medina Township," was by A. A. Bird, Zenas Bird, and a man by the name of
Petrie, all of whom were from Little Falls, New York.

  These men entered into the following mutual contract: Zenas H. Bird, the
younger brother, bought eighty acres of land, where the village of Marshall now
stands, upon which he was to erect a "frame building" of suitable dimensions for
a public house. In consideration of his erecting this house, A. A. Bird and
Petrie were to improve the water power in the Maunesha creek, which flowed close
by, and build thereon a saw mill, which they were to have completed and running
within one year. This was in June, 1837. Zenas Bird went on and erected the
public house according to contract. Meanwhile the other parties had got out the
lumber for building the mill, and had drawn the most of it upon the ground where
it was to be used. Zenas Bird and his "hands" went to the city of Madison for
supplies, and while gone, the prairie caught fire and burned house, lumber and
all. This occurred about the last of October, 1839. The frame of the house was
not entirely consumed, but remained standing until 1845, when it fell to the
ground, from which event the place derived the name or Bird's Ruins.

  The first permanent settlement in the town was in the month of June, 1839, on
section seven. This was by Volney Moore, Eleazer Moore and Henry S. Clark. They
immediately began the erection of a dwelling house, and on the 3d of April,
1840, they moved their families from Milwaukee county to their new home.
Although so early in the season, Mr. Moore says the grass was then "knee high to
a man." Here, in their rude dwelling, they lived for nearly two years before
another family came into the town. Mrs. Moore has been heard to say, that "for
one year and a half after coming here, I never saw the face of a white woman
except my own daughter." The nearest house east was at Aztalan; the nearest one
west was at Madison. It was here, in 1840, the first child was born in the town,
William Moore, son of Volney Moore and wife; and on the 28th day of December,
1842, the first marriage was consummated in Medina, at the house of Volney
Moore, at which time he celebrated the wedding of both his daughters, the eldest
to Mr. Charles Lawrence, of Token Creek, and Sarah, the youngest, to Mr. H. S.
Clark. Some years later Mr. Moore moved to Baraboo, Sauk county, where he now
resides. In 1845, H. S. Clark and wife were baptized, and united with the "Free
Will Baptist Church," and in 1849 he went to California, but returned in 1852.
His wife died in 1855, leaving four children. In 1857, he married a second time,
to Miss Maria Lane. He died January 5, 1875, having always been a prominent man
in the town, and having occupied many positions of trust and honor. Eleazer
Moore started for California in 1852, but while crossing the plains, was
accidentally shot by a brother-in-law. In the years of 1842-3, seven other
families moved into the town, three of them settling in the eastern and four in
the western part, in the vicinity of Volney Moore's residence, one of which was
Charles Wakeman. Thus, in the spring of 1844, the town contained but eight
families — three in the east and five in the west part. There was hut one road
established, known as the Sun Prairie and Lake Mills road. Among the more
prominent ones who moved to Medina this year were Moses Page, Martin Bostwick,
Daniel S. Cross, Judge Reuben Smith, Sardine Muzzy, Willard Cole, Peter Sifort
and Asa Cross. The first attempt at political organization occurred during this
year. It consisted of the uniting of three towns in what was called the Waterloo
Precinct, and on the 22d of September, 1844, the people held a town meeting at
the house of Reuben Smith, at which election forty-one votes were cast, George
B. Smith, of Madison, acting as one of the clerks. The second election was by
four towns, under the name of Sun Prairie Precinct. This was held in the western
part of Medina, at the house of Mr. Peckham, and a third meeting (special)
called at Moore's school house, on section eight, a log building which had been
erected in 1844, and at which place the precinct elections were held for a
number of years. The first religions society of Medina was organized by Elder
Moffat, of the Free Will Baptists, in the log school-house, on section eight, in
1845. The property of Mr. Zenas Bird, consisting of six eighties of land, passed
into the hands of John Douglas, who began what is now the flourishing village of
Marshall, by setting up the old tumbled-down frame, and constructing a dwelling
house containing two rooms. During this year he also commenced building a saw
mill, which was not completed, however, until 1847, when it was finished by a
Mr. Seely, the first physician who settled in Medina. The town settled up
rapidly during 1845. Among others who came during this year were, Louis Stone,
John T. White, from London, England, and Charles Lum; A. J. Allen, John Tracy,
M. D. Currier, Thomas Hart, Jr., and others from Medina, Ohio.

  The first religious meeting held at Bird's Ruins, was in 1845, at the house of
John Douglas. The sermon (one of Whitfield's) was read by George B. Smith, now
of Madison, from a book loaned by Thos. Hart. In the spring of 1845, G. W. Day
established a store in one room of John Douglas' house, and brought the first
barrel of whisky into the town, and it is reported that as he drew one gallon of
whisky from the faucet, the stock was replenished by turning in a gallon of
water at the bung; and the result was, that when cold weather came, the contents
of the barrel froze up solid, and whisky drinking was suspended during the
winter. Judge Reuben Smith, an active temperance worker, taking advantage of
this circumstance, organized a Washingtonian Society; but when the barrel thawed
out in the spring, many of the members violated their pledge, and the lodge soon
went down.

  The first school at Bird's Ruins was taught during the summer by Susan Tracy,
in Judge Smith's house. Some time in the spring, Martin Mead buried his wife,
the first death which occurred in the township in 1846. Among other incidents of
note, during this year, we might mention the construction of the first mill dam.
The first church organization in the village was established under the auspices
of the Close Communion Baptists. During the winter of 1846 and 1847, they held
their first protracted meeting, conducted by Elder Green, at the house of
William Parsons, in Bird's Ruins. A large revival followed, and the excitement
being so great, they baptized at midnight by moonlight. Immediately following
this, the Methodists organized, and held a protracted meeting at the house of
Judge Smith, at that time occupied by a Mr. Shepherd. Their efforts, however,
met with poor success.

  The first wedding in the village occurred in January of 1847: Mr. Dorman Mead
to Mrs. Catharine Douglas; and both are still living in Jefferson county, about
eight miles from where they were married, a hale and genial old couple, loved
and respected by all who know them.

  Among others who settled in Medina, in the year of 1846, were, Louis Morrill,
Jesse M. Smith, Silas Mory, Thomas Hart, Sen., Joseph Hart, C. T. Weeks, George
Lewellen, and others. Among those who came in 1847 were W. E. Persons, A. M.
Hanchett, and Urbane Parsons. Mr. Hanchett purchased the property of John
Douglas, and established a store at Bird's Ruins. Up to this time, the nearest
accessible postoffice was at Lake Mills, about ten miles distant, from which
place the mail was occasionally carried by passing teams, but usually on foot,
by Mr. Urbane Parsons, this being the swiftest mode of conveyance, as the only
teams possessed by the settlers were oxen. Being thus brought to realize the
necessities of the times, Mr. Parsons personally circulated a petition, which
eventually resulted in the establishment of a post office at Bird's Ruins, and
A. M. Hanchett was made the first postmaster.

  Early in the year of 1848, the legislature of the state of Wisconsin passed a
resolution, that the township be organized into a separate town, by the name of
"Medina;" the first town meeting to be held at Bird's Ruins. The first meeting
was accordingly held on the 4th day of April, of the same year, in the house of
Louis Morrill, at which time, the following officers were elected (Louis Stone,
William H. Munger, and Gideon Ormsby, acting as judges): Charles Lum, William C.
Rood, and H. S. Clark, supervisors of the town; Urbane Parsons, town clerk;
Aaron H. Pinney, treasurer; Martin King, W. E. Persons, and D. K. Munger,
commissioners of highways; S. V. R. Shepherd, tax collector; O. W. Thornton, M.
D. Currier, Charles Rickerson, school commissioners; O. W. Thornton, W. E.
Persons, and D. S. Cross, justices of the peace; S. V. R. Shepherd, and
Nathaniel Larrabee, constables; Sardine Muzzy, Volney Moore, Aaron Pinney,
assessors; Jacob Miller, Moses Page, W. H. Munger, fence viewers; A. M.
Hanchett, Nathan Brown, C. T. Weeks, John Luke, and David Ormsby, overseers of
roads in their respective districts. At said meeting, the pay of town officers
was fixed at one dollar per day, for actual service rendered. There is no record
of the number of votes cast at this election; but at the next one, there were
eighty-three.

  In 1849, there was a good, substantial school house erected at Bird's Ruins.
It was built of red brick, and comfortably seated for the accommodation of about
seventy scholars, and paid for by a tax on the district, which at that time
comprised about one-half of the township. About this time the village received
the name of Hanchettville.

  In 1847, a lodge of Sons of Temperance was organized by Geo. B. Smith and
Judge Knapp, from Madison. It remained in existence for about one-and-a-half
years, with variable success, and then passed away. In 1849, an Odd Fellows'
lodge was organized in the brick school house at Hanchettville, but for some
reason was sustained but a short time. It might, perhaps, be interesting to the
reader to mention some of the inconveniences which were experienced by the early
settlers in this locality. There were no roads in the town, with the exception
of a wagon track cleared through the timber. And when we say "cleared," we do
not use the term with its modern significance, for the road still bristled with
stumps, and the wagons, as they rolled slowly along, tumbled over huge rocks,
which had never been moved from their resting places. There were no bridges over
the streams, and the routes were often lengthened in reaching a practicable
fording place, while over some of the low and otherwise impassible places, they
had constructed the time honored "corduroy," so well known and much used in all
new timber districts. Over such roads, by means of ox teams, the settlers were
obliged to draw their products to Milwaukee to market, some seventy miles
distant, while their groceries and other necessary articles of merchandise had
to be transported back by the same tedious method. For many years there was no
blacksmith shop nearer than Lake Mills, ten miles east of Bird's Ruins, and the
settlers used to put their log chains into a bag, and slinging it upon their
back, carry them over the rough and muddy roads to that place to get them
mended. H. S. Clark has been known to take the "shear" of his breaking plow upon
his shoulders (and none but those who have seen one of the primitive breaking
plows used in those times can appreciate this feat), and carry it to Madison,
nearly twenty miles distant, get it sharpened, and return with it the same day.
The first anvil and pair of bellows were brought into the town by Louis Stone,
and the first blacksmith shop was opened by his nephew, Jesse Stone and J.
Thompson, under a large burr oak in Bird's Ruins, where they held forth for some
time in the open air.

  The nearest grist mill was at Lake Mills, and in the muddy season, when the
road was impassible for teams, the settlers, in cases of necessity, would take
some corn in a bag, carry it on foot to the mill, get it ground, and bring back
the meal. There are persons still living in the village of Marshall, who can
well remember when the unvarying bill of fare was Johnny cake for breakfast,
Johnny cake for dinner, and Johnny cake for supper, with its usual concomitant,
"Wisconsin gravy." This was manufactured by taking a little flour or meal and
stirring it in water, making a thin paste, which they spread on the corn bread.
As civilization advanced, however, and times became more prosperous, some
enterprising Yankee introduced sweetening into the locality in the form of cheap
molasses, and then the better classes indulged in sweet corn bread once a week
(Sundays). This was considered a luxury indeed, and was eaten with great relish,
without sauce or gravy, butter being a "minus quantity" in those days.

  As soon as the settlers could get a piece of land broken up, and procure seed
with which to sow it, they raised excellent crops of winter wheat, ranging from
thirty-five to forty bushels per acre; but on account of their restricted market
advantages for a great many years, they realized only an insignificant price for
their produce, barely sufficient to pay their taxes and purchase a few necessary
articles of wearing apparel, together with their indispensable farming implements.

  In 1852, Charles Wakeman purchased a wagon for $90, and sold No. 1 winter
wheat at thirty cents per bushel to pay for it. In 1852, A. M. Hanchett erected
the first grist mill at Bird's Ruins. He also built a new mill dam, about twenty
rods below the old one, and moved the saw mill down along side of the grist
mill. The saw mill, after having accomplished its mission of converting
thousands of feet of the primitive oaks into lumber, to the incalculable benefit
of the early settlers, at last rotted and fell to the ground, the necessity for
its labors being superseded by the increasing facilities of transportation,
which enabled the people to procure pine lumber from the northern part of the
state. The grist mill still stands upon its original site, and having been
repeatedly remodeled and improved, is now known as the far famed flouring mill
of Porter & Marshall.

  In 1852 and '53, a plankroad was projected and built from Watertown to
Hanchettville. The opening up of this great thoroughfare, connecting, as it
were, this seemingly isolated district with the great business world, resulted
in untold benefit and advantage to the settlers; and for many years the little
villages which sprung up, as if by magic, along its line, were the scenes of
bustling activity and lively enterprise. In 1853, the typhoid fever raged with
great fatality throughout the town. Dr. H. H. Beebe, who had previously resided
at Peckham's Corners, moved into Hanchettville, and although a young man,
distinguished himself in treating this class of diseases, and gaining a
reputation which time has fully sustained. He still continues to practice in the
place, having by years of assiduous toil won the confidence and esteem of the
entire people, and an enviable reputation as a physician.

  In 1856, the proposition of building a railroad from Watertown to Madison was
agitated; about one-half of the inhabitants were in favor of saddling the town
with a debt of $25,000 for the purpose of assisting the project, while the
remainder were opposed. A special town meeting was called, and the railroad
advocates were defeated by two votes. In 1859, however, the Madison, Watertown
and St. Paul Company succeeded in acquiring the requisite amount of "Pledges,"
and constructed what is known as the "Madison Branch Road," locating a depot at
Hanchettville and another at Deanville. Property holders anticipated great
results from the effect of this road, in enhancing the value of property and
building up the village of Hanchettville, and the unpretending name of
Hanchettville gave way to the name of Howard City, in honor of one of the
railroad contractors. But these anticipations were not realized, but on the
contrary, actual adversity superseded the expected prosperity, and Mr. Hanchett
was obliged to dispose of his vast property to Messrs. Porter and Marshall, who
again changed the name of the village, this time christening it "Marshall,"
which title it retains at the present day.

  While passing along down through the course of years, we would not forget to
mention some of those who immortalized their names in the great war of the
rebellion. Of the seventy or eighty from Medina who responded to our country's
call for volunteers, at least twenty-one never returned. The first company
organized in the town was by Capt. Bradford Hancock. Among the killed from the
town we mention: Aaron Twining, Silas Hatfield, Peter Lusk, Daniel Norton, Edwin
Hancock, Hiram Miller, William Berge, A. Wilsey, Carl Kappin, Charles Matthews,
Isaac Warren, John Cruger, Charles Wendt, Hiram Smith, Lucius Gregg, Delbert
Lee, Wm. King, Charles Lintner, John Agnew, Charles Calkins, Butler, Merrey,
Kinney and Hays. The town also sustained one draft, by which fourteen were
impressed. Among the early pioneers of Medina, whose lives are intimately
connected with the history of the town, but few now remain. A few have moved
away, seeking to better their temporal condition by a change of locality; some
of whom are lost to the knowledge, but not to the remembrance, of those who
remain; others we have succeeded in tracing to their present places of abode, in
different parts of our own and other states. But the marble monuments in the
beautiful little cemetery just outside the village of Marshall marks the resting
place of the larger portion of them. There are but two of the old settlers left
in Marshall—Urbane Parsons, aged 76, and his wife, aged 82. Among those who
still reside in the town are, wife of Asa Cross, aged 90; Charles Wakeman, 75;
Stephen Mory, 82; Mrs. Agnew, 83; Mrs. Knapton, 76; Charles Lum, 70; Dean Chase,
80; Anson Warner, 75; Geo. Bashford, 84, and his wife, 75.

Among those whose ages are unknown to the writer are, Sardine Muzzy, Geo.
Lewellen, Willard Cole, C. T. Weeks, Joseph Wilt, Willard Weeks, Asa Dewey, D.
S. Cross, O. W. Thornton, Joseph Hart, Andrew Betts, Stephen Jones, Thos. Hart,
H. H. Beebe, Silas Morey, Jacob Miller, Jesse Smith, W. K. Parsons, T. B.
Wakeman, James Wakeman, Wm. Knapton, W. E. Persons, Thomas Fallows, and Ole and
Halver Osbornson. Of those who are dead, we would mention, Moses Page, aged 87;
Asa Cross, 90; Samuel Smith, 84; Reuben Smith, 80; Louis Morrill, 73.

  Coming down to the present time, we would call attention to those, to whose
enterprise and zeal the village of Marshall is indebted for its present
prosperous condition. Among the live men of the place we must mention William H.
Porter, the proprietor of the flouring mill, which he is having repaired and
remodeled at an expense of from five to six thousand dollars; he is resolved to
make it one of the first mills in the country. To this end he is furnishing it
with steam power, in addition to the excellent natural water power upon which he
has hitherto depended, and is now prepared to do all kinds of custom work and
manufacture all the modern brands of flour. Samuel Blascoer, an old and
respected merchant, supplies the surrounding community with goods, from the
largest and best assorted stock of merchandise to be found between Watertown and
Madison; his annual sales amounting to from thirty to forty thousand dollars. K.
W. Jargo, druggist, keeps constantly on hand a large assortment of drugs and
medicines, toilet and fancy articles, glass, paints, oils, and a general stock
of groceries. John Lindsay, dealer in boots, shoes and harness, a large portion
of which are home manufactures. Herman Glagow, dealer in heavy and shelf
hardware and stoves, and manufacturer of all kinds of tinware. Cramer & Co., dry
goods and groceries; location near the depot. Peter Van Loan, wagon and carriage
shop. J. O. Nordell, harness shop. John Sanders, boots and shoes. William
Pickard, grain buyer. C. E. Bell, furniture and repair shop. E. J. McPherson,
blacksmith shop. Geo. E. Allen, livery stable. Mr. Allen is also one of the best
veterinary surgeons in the state, and has a large barn arranged into an
infirmary, where he is prepared to treat the worst of cases.

  As before mentioned, Marshall contains one of the finest academies in the
state. It was erected in 1866, at a cost of $14,000. It was built by a joint
stock company, but the credit of the successful and speedy consummation of the
project is due, in a great measure, to the enterprise and energy of E. B.
Bigelow. The Methodist church erected in 1869, at a cost of three thousand
dollars, is a fine wooden building, and was dedicated in February, 1869, by Rev.
Samuel Fallows. The Baptist church, a fine brick edifice, was built the same
year, and was dedicated February 17, 1869, by Rev. O. G. Hoge; its cost being a
trifle over three thousand dollars. We would not forget the German Methodist
church, about one and a half miles sonth of Marshall, a neat little building,
erected in 1876, at a cost of fifteen hundred dollars.

  Marshall Academy was opened January 7, 1867, with J. J. McIntire, principal,
and Mary A. Cuckoo, preceptress, under the supervision of the following board of
directors: Joseph Hart, president; W. H. Porter, treasurer; E. B. Bigelow,
secretary; Louis Morrill, Samuel Blascoer, Thomas Hart, Torga Oleson, Jacob
Miller and Samuel Fields. In 1869, the building was purchased by the Augustine
Synod of Lutherans, and formally dedicated to their use in November of the same
year, with J. J. Anderson as principal of the Academic department, and Prof.
Weinass, of the Theological Seminary. It is now under the supervision of Prof.
Henry Dorman, with P. W. Huntington, Teacher of Languages.

  The town is now entirely out of debt, and prospering under the management of
the following officers:

  Board of Supervisors —William H. Porter, Chairman, R. W. Agnew and E.
Zimbrich. Town Clerk— Henry Dorman. Treasurer—David Hames. Assessor — I. C.
Knapton.

  William H. Porter, Postmaster, has had the management of the office for many
years. George H. Norton, resident attorney-at-law. H. H. Beebe, practicing
physician.
