                         New London 1874
      The G.B. & M. RR still refused to build a depot and stop its passenger trains in Northport because Mukwa
 Township refused to provide $35,000 in aids to the
 Railroad.
          In retaliation the trains slowed down to 12 miles per hour to exchange mail bags.
          Persons wishing to take the train had to go either to Royalton or New London.  The township refused to settle with the railroad because parts of Mukwa Township were detached in 1869 and 70 and
 added to New London after the Township had approved the proposition.
          In September, at the Waupaca County Fair, Ira Millerd, Jr., Cheese Factory was awarded the distinction of
 making the best cheese in Waupaca County.          On a cold drizzly Sunday afternoon, Nov. 29, St. Paul's Lutheran congregation laid the cornerstone of a new
 church.  The building will be 80 feet long by 40 feet wide with brick, and the tower 120 feet high.  It's scheduled to be
 finished by July of 1875.  A young man by the name of Charles Eggers was selected to build the new church.
