WILLIAM McKAHN, with his interesting family of four daughters and three 
sons, came from Washington, Pa., in 1857.  He was employed as head clerk in
the company's store.  While still with the company, he procured a tract of 
land six miles from the city, and improved, creating a home, where he lived
a year.  Finding farm life too arduous, he returned to the village, and for
a time owned a livery stable, and for two years kept the Menomonie 
House.  He died Oct. 10, 1872, having been confined to his room by 
paralysis for two years.
