Reason Why You Should Settle
Here - Town of Hutchins, Shawano County, WI (Taken From Book of WI Timber & Land Co.) Because
there is no healthier elimate in the world. There are no
blizzards, cyclones, malaria or hay fever. The winters are
moderate and the summers cool. Because there are plenty of clear
streams and lakes abounding with fish. Because there is building
stone in abundance, and plenty of lumber close at hand and cheap.
Because the soil is clay loam, easily worked and very productive.
There is no cheap sand land. Because there are fewer crop
failures in this section than anywhere in America. Because there
is fine pasture and rich feed, to make rich milk. Because the
demand for dairy products is ten times greater than the supply.
Because we have good schools, both graded and ungraded. Because
we have curches of all the leading denominations. Because we have
serveral civic societies and fraternal orders. Because you will
have good, law-abiding neighbors, willing to help you get started
- as we will. Because the taxes are low. Because the title to you
land is perfect. Because our system permits of families being
located in groups. We will reserve land for your absent relatives
for a certain time, so that when they come, you can all live near
each other, or together. Because the progressive town of Mattoon
with its 1500 people is near our lands. Because hundreds of
prosperous farmers who bought land of us will give you the
benefit of their experience. Because there is work for everybody.
We employ 300 men in our mills and factories at Mattoon,
manufacturing lumber and veneers. Because the railroad is within
one to five miles of your farm. Because there is an up-to-date
power station supplying current for electric light. Also a fine
telephone system. Because there is a fine roomy hospital and the
best of medical attendance. Also experienced physicians having
independent practices. Because the land is so cheap and so
productive that you can make it pay for itself before your last
payments are due. What the Land Costs For any
portion of 10,000 choice, selected acres, unimproved, we charge
from $10 to $20 an acre, according to location. The land is
uniform in quality everywhere, its location being the only reason
for the variation in price. The excellent roads will make this of
little consequence to many. To a young man and his family, we
advise the purchase of forty acres at first, this being large
enough on which to make a good living. Larger tracts will be sold
to those desiring to engage in farming on a bigger scale. We give
you time in payment for the land, at a low rate of interest.
Remember, that if you buy, your railroad fare is refunded to you.
The title is perfect. Printed abstracts of title, with the
written opinion of a good lawyer, together with a certificate
that all taxes have been paid up to time of purchase are given
every buyer. Improved Lands. At our own expense we have
put into cultivation in crops about 500 acres, and we are
constanty enlarging this tract, knowing that some buyers will
want improved lands. If desired we will sell forty and eighty
acres of this land to individuals at a price to be agreed upon,
depending somewhat on the buildings now standing thereon. We can
sell you lands from one to ten miles from the town of Mattoon.
When you come to inspect the property you will be taken in hand
by the owners, and everything will be done to make you acquainted
with the country and its hospitable people. There is a hotel in
Mattoon which accommodates 200 guests. The rates are moderate,
and should you and several of your neighbors decided to come
together, you will find ample accommodations. In cases where the
person interested cannot be present, a selection will, if
desired, be made for him. He will expect a personal guarantee
with the land as we have represented it, and this we are willing
to give. To do this for him, we must know what his means are, how
much land he wishes to purchase, the size of his family, and
whether or not he intends to purchase more land, whether he
desires land perfectly level or rolling, and how far he would be
willing to locate from town.

death, Peter came to live with John & Carrie.
Peter & John always talked in Swedish. Peter

Approximately three weeks before Grandpa died,
he and Grandma visited our home on a Sunday.
Everyone left the living room for the kitchen
but Grandpa. He stayed in the large living room
chair with his Sunday funnies, and I was
standing in the doorway to the kitchen. He
would lift the paper up to hide his face and
then peek out at me, doing this several times.
I loved it! - Karolyn Roberts - The day before
Grandpa died, he had been out hunting with the
menfolk, felt ill toward the end of the day and
the next morning he had his heart attack and
died instantly. He had shot a large white
owl the day before and someone had shot a jack
rabbit. Karolyn Roberts - The
grandaughters stayed with Grandma taking turns
for several days at a time. This way
Grandma was never alone in case she needed help
and each one of us prepared the meals
under her supervision and swept the kitchen
floor after every meal.- Every day Grandma read
her Bible always right after lunch. Every
three weeks she made a trip to the Dr. She
made out a grocery list every week for someone
to get for her. At Christmas time she
usually made it to the Nazarene Church Christmas
Program to watch the grandkids, and some that
lived to far away to go to church there
sometimes showed up to the programs. At
one time, that is where the whole family
attended. It was the one place she could
catch the most grandchildren at one time. On
occassion after a Dr.'s appointment, you saw her
standing outside a store or just inside a store
waiting for her ride to finish their shopping,
but usually she waited in the car.-Karolyn (Picture

While I was home on vacation one time, my
mother & I decided to visit Uncle Earl &
Aunt Florence. When we drove up, we
spotted them out inside of the fence trying
to keep the cows back as they had broke the
fence. They were not going to get the
job done as some of the cows had already
passed by them, and it certainly looked like
they could get hurt. I drove the car
across the lawn in front of the cows and
jumped out and started running towards them
flailing my arms and all the while my mother
was yelling at me protesting, being sure I
was going to get stampeded. However,
all of a sudden they turned and went back
through the opening and we got it closed
off. Uncle Earl expressed amazement at
a city girl as he called me, driving his
cows back through the fence when they
couldn't control them. That day he
decided the cows had to go, he couldn't
handle them anymore.-Karolyn - I have
precious memories of Aunt Florence's sister,
Janette Larson McCreary from PA, who would
always seek me out to talk. What a
gentile lady-Karolyn.
- My mother would relate this story
often. She and her sisters would scoot
Bernice across the kitchen table and catch
her as she loved this game. Bernice
could not walk as she was born with a sac at
the base of her neck that filled with fluid
that should have went into the spine.
She went to Madison to have surgery to
correct the problem. My mother bought
her a matching coat and hat for the trip.
Bernice died in surgery from the

All of the relatives had gathered, but I think the men folk had went hunting. Anyway, the ladies decided they needed something from the little gas station at the foot of the hill in Mattoon as she carried a few groceries also. They needed it to make whatever, and I was elected to go as they didn't have a car there, the men had them. I could take Maynard's bicycle and I was game. After I left, Aunt Helen remembered the brakes didn't work and the tire had a bulge in it and could blow. They were scared and didn't think I would survive the hill, but they had no way of getting to me quick enough. So they waited. Let me tell you, that was some ride! But I kept my balance and came back with the merchandise. They were very happy to see me.-Karolyn Roberts

Duane A. Blodgett b11/29/1934
Janesville,WI - d8/13/1948 Uncle Ed's farm,
Langlade,WI - Duane & Uncle Leonard Johnson
was baling hay in the morning and when they
finished, they took the tractor & baler
(Duane driving & Leonard riding the baler)
over to the road that heads north towards
the farm of Edwin Johnson. This road
was just west of Uncle Ed's house.
When they reached County Road D, Duane
stopped at the stop sign, stood up on the
tractor and leaned forward to be able to see
both ways down the road. No one was
coming, so he turned right onto D and then
left into Uncle Ed's place. (Ed's
place is located halfway between Antigo and
Mattoon on County Road D) Ed asked Leonard
to make some adjustments on a piece of
machinery, so they could start baling.
Leonard asked Ed if his horses were rider
safe, could Duane ride one while he was
waiting. Ed said no problem, go ahead.
So Duane got up on the horse while it stood
still and started riding him. He came
past where Leonard was working and at that
moment the adjustment Leonard was making
made a loud squeaking noise, and Duane
comment to Leonard as he passed "The horse
shied a little." When he got past and
out into the filed, the horse started
rearing in an effort to get Duane off.
Leonard yelled to Duane to jump off.
He said Duane acted stunned or had fainted,
and didn't move, and then he fell off,
catching his foot in the harness, which
dragged him under the horse. George
Wolf (waiting to help with the baling) ran
out to the field to Duane, and he took his
last breath in Uncle George's arms as he
lifted him up. Uncle Leonard said he
could not go out to Duane. They had
been so very close. The back of
Duane's head was crushed, and his chest was
crushed. His mother never knew all
this. - In the spring, Duane had had
pneumonia, and he almost died. Also,
when younger the family had had an
automobile accident, and Duane had face
scars from the glass. The accident
happened on a county crossroads SW of
Mattoon. My mother had shown me the
corner several times. It was thought
that he might go blind when he got older.
- Harley Amerson took this same horse later
out into a nearby woods that he owned on the
other side of where Duane had turned onto D
to do some logging. The horse tried to
pin him against a tree. - As related to my
by Uncle Leonard, Karolyn. - Duane was
given permission to try out my Dad's cornet
and I sat down by him on the couch, and I
tried to take it from him to try it out too.
I ended up putting a dent in it.-Karolyn
