··KENOSHA NEWS CORRESPONDENT

BURLINGTON- A corruortable gathering spot for a local
Woman's 28 giahdchildren will
soon come tumbling down if
Burlington City Officials have
their way.
: "My mother has 28 grandchildren who love to sit and play on
her 50-year-old porch," said
"J;:om Clark, owner of the property at 542 Tower St., ":;md now the
city is forcing us to tear it

.
..
Clark, of Delavan purchased
the century-old home for his
mother, Luella Clark, as a central loca:tioli between her and
her large family. Last January,
a frre seriously damaged the residence forcing Luella out of her
home until the repairs meets
city code.

According to .a recent letter
from city building inspector Pat
Scherrer, no occupancy permit

According to Clar~. the porch
was undOOtiaged in the'frre, and
because there was less than 50
percent damagEl to the home, he
felt he would be exempt from
setback rules.
·
"It doesn't ma~e sense;"
Clark said, "Two.years ago, the
city made us put in a sidewalk
in front of the porch, but now
the stoop and porch have to be
ripped out, it just keeps costing
usmore money."
According to city administrator David Torgler, upon meeting with Scherrer to obtain neeessary permits to repair the
property, Clark was informed
that due to the extensive property damage, h~s home would
have to become compliant with
~oning codes.

"This included the removal of

Museum's Second Floor Nearing Completion;
Remodeling of First Floor and Restroom Progressing
The Museum's second floor has been plastered and painted, the track
lighting has been installed, and, except for the choir loft, the floor has
been carpeted. At the time this is being written, we are in the midst of
moving the contents of the first-floor storage "pod" to the new second
floor so the finishing work on the first floor, as well as the new firstfloor restroom, can be completed. (See remodeling photos, page 2.)
Once the first floor is finished, we can start moving some of the
offsite-stored display cases back in, reinstall some of the previous
displays, and create new displays and display areas. We also intend to
paint the basement walls and reinstall much of the basement shelving
that had to be dismantled to provide space to dig the footings for the
posts that are supporting the second floor.
The Board of Directors has not yet determined when the Museum
will be officially reopened, but is considering the possibility of opening
the Museum to visitors in stages as groups of displays are finished.

Buse whose term had expired, Civil War historian Lance Herdegen
(above right) entertained the audience with stories of Abraham Lincoln
and Lincoln's interaction with Wisconsin soldiers during the Civil War.
Artifacts and photos related to Lincoln School and to Lincoln were
also displayed. The photos of Lincoln School, the playground, and
some of the past classes especially sparked the interest and stirred the
memories of many in the audience who had attended the school.

Soft Soap
The December 2008 newsletter included the story
of a confrontation in November 1863 between two
Dover residents: Isabella Crawford, whose
brother Nathan had been killed at Chickamauga,
and John Russell, a Civil War opponent whom
Isabella had "bumped" to the ground after Russell
had insulted her brother's memory. The following
story from the Burlington Standard ofJuly 20,
1864, recounts a subsequent incident in which Mr.
Russell received another dose of"comeuppance."
A few days ago a fracas occurred in the town of
Dover that led to a somewhat singular result. A good
union soldier, John Schofield, passing by the house of
Mr. Russell (the same respectable gentleman who
insulted Miss Crawford some time ago, and that
wishes that every Union Soldier may be killed that
goes to fight against the rebels), asked Mr. Russell for
a drink of water, which Russell refused to let him
have. John told him he wanted a drink of water, and
more than that, he meant to have it; and forthwith
proceeded to the well to draw a pailful.
Mr. Russell drew out a pocket lm.ife, but on second
thought he darted into the house. Whether he was
afraid of his own cold steel, or wished to avail himself
of something more effective, or on more mature
consideration came to the conclusion that discretion
was the better part of valor, as John having faced the
bayonets of his (Russell's) brother rebels, which being
a little longer than his jackknife and consequently
more dangerous, it would not be prudent to use the
knife - very wisely he did not use the glittering steel.
In the meantime, John having coolly had his
cooling drink, very coolly proceeded to use a pail that
stood close by, and dipped it twice into a soft soap
barrel that was unfortunately in the way, and after
filling his pail he found it necessary to empty it before
again filling it, and the well being convenient, and
there being room enough, he very thoughtlessly
emptied the pailful of soap into the well. A very
foolish thing, for although a little soft soap will do
wonders with people, and it is presumable that Mr.
Russell would form no exception, yet it is very
(_).) questionable, whether if Mr. Russell had been
consulted (although he might not have objected to be
soft soaped himself) that he would have liked to have
his well treated to the same delicacy.
John having mixed the liquor departed on his way,
and is now on the road to rebeldom to help to give the

3

rebels something a little worse than mixed liquor. May
God speed him and his comrades.

At the time of the "soft soap incident, " Schofield,
shown sitting right in the photo below, was back in
Wisconsin after having been captured at the Battle
of Chickamauga and, with the others shown in the
photo, escaping from Danville prison in Virginia.

These frve soldiers, all from western Racine County, were
captured in September 1863 at the Battle of Chickamauga
and imprisoned at Danville, Virginia. They escaped from
Danville and made their way back to the Union lines. After a
furlough in Wisconsin (during which the "soft soap incident"
occurred), the frve men returned to their units and served out
their terms of enlistment.

The Well-Equipped Dental Office in 1873
Dr. George A. Sherwood, a Civil War veteran, was
a dentist in Burlington in the 1860s and 1870s. He
had his office in several different locations during that
time, including the second floor of the building on the
corner ofPine and Chestnut Streets now occupied by
the Chase Bank, on the second floor ofwhat is now
John's Main Event at 556 N Pine Street, and in the
triangular storefront now occupied by The Electric
Chair at 136 E. Chestnut Street. At the time Dr.
Sherwood was located in what is now the Chase Bank
building. Henry L. Devereux, editor and publisher of
the Burlington Standard, described his visit there in
an article titled "Multum in Parvo" (i.e., much in
little) in the January 16, 1873, issue of the Standard.
As you read Devereux's article, recall that, at that
time, dentists devoted themselves primarily to
removing diseased teeth and inserting artificial

(Dental Office- continued from page 3)

dentures. They extracted teeth with forceps or a tooth
key (a primitive too/like a ratchet wrench), cleaned
teeth with scrapers, and removed cavities with hand
instruments. They filled cavities with tin, silver, gold
foil, or lead. Dentures were carved.from ivory or
fashioned from cattle teeth. Recall, too, that there
were no electric drills -Burlington did not have
electricity until the late 1880s - and that X-rays were
not discovered until 1895.
"Multum in Parvo" - Something Worth Seeing
During a call the other day at the Dental Rooms of
Dr. George A. Sherwood, our attention was arrested
by a Case of Dental Instruments which it was
impossible for one to see and not admire - although a
painful idea is associated with their use. But
nevertheless if we must submit to have our teeth
operated upon, it is certainly a pleasure, if not an
agreeable one, to have the best instruments that can be
made for this purpose.
On enquiry the Doctor informed us that the Case
and Instruments were made in Philadelphia; and
purchased by him at a great expense.

The Case is made of rosewood; the comers bound
and ornamented with brass, making it strong and
durable. There are five drawers and two trays, all
furnished with locks and keys. The whole is lined with
silk velvet and the instruments nicely fitted into their
respective places.
In the Instrument line there seemed to be
everything the mind could conceive. We counted 24
beautiful 5-8 inch pearl handled Pluggers, with solid
gold ferrules. (Pluggers were used for packing and
condensing filling material for caries.) A pearl

handled hand Mirror of exquisite workmanship, and
pearl handled mouth Glass. A pearl handled Gum
Lance, 27 ivory handled instruments for special use,
with many other instruments all adapted to the
profession.
We had well nigh forgot to mention those 17 pairs
of ugly looking forceps, as they lay snugly packed
away on their silk velvet bed. They were of the fmest
construction and looked very peaceable indeed resting
in their rich case - but an involuntary shudder made us
feel that we would not like to have them thrust into
our mouth very often. However, if teeth must come
out these are the Instruments to do it with as little pain
as the case will admit of.
In addition to this elegant set of instruments the
Dr. has plenty more to perform all Dental Surgery in
the best and most scientific manner. He will hold
himself in readiness to answer all calls - and to relieve
pain as quickly as possible.

red figured wall paper that covered the walls. To be a
part of this vibrant, active family for even a short time
gave me a wonderful feeling of belonging.
All of us are grown now and our children now
have children of their own but when we all get
together, the memories come flooding back and
suddenly we aren't grown up men and women, we are
still the same kids who laughed and played and
worked together years ago. Those memories of times
past keep us young and help the younger generation to
understand what came before them. llove to hear my
Dad and his sisters talk about what went on when they
were kids. Dad also came from a large family and I
know money was not very plentiful for them. He talks
of selling fresh vegetables to "rich folks" for his
mother to help support the family. They moved around
quite a bit and I don't believe he attended the same
school for more than 1 year. Tough to make friends
and get an education that way. The point is what we
experienced as youngsters and what our parents
experienced are part of why we turned out as we did.
Would I be a different person if I never had the
opportunity to visit my cousins on the farm?
Fundamentally, probably not. But I like to think that
those experiences added a richness to my life that
would have been missing had I not been presented
with those opportunities. Share the stories, both the
funny and the sad; they are part of you and make
someone else's life richer for hearing about the way
things were.

President's Message
The renovation of our museum is well underway.
The second floor is almost finished and the main floor
is now being completed. Our plans include a "research
- library" area on the second floor for easy access to
some of the extensive records pertaining to genealogy
and Burlington-area history and our huge inventory of
historic photos of our area. We are now in the design
mode as to how our artifacts and various treasures will
be displayed. There are a lot of decisions to be made
yet, but we hope be open again by this fall.
The program that was presented at our annual
meeting at Lincoln School was well attended. We all
learned a lot about our great President Lincoln and the
rapport that he had with some of the Civil War soldiers
from our Wisconsin units that was mentioned in
correspondence with family members during the war.
I hope we have an early spring this year that
enables us to get outdoors and enjoy our great
Wisconsin communities.

Mt. Hope Cemetery
Ned Farley, Assistant Professor in Anthropology at
Wisconsin Lutheran College in Milwaukee, is planning
a fourth session in the clean-up and mapping of the
pioneer Mt. Hope Cemetery sometime this spring. The
plans include searching for additional graves using a
ground radar device.

Pioneer Cabin to Open May 2; Docents Needed
We are planning to open Pioneer Log Cabin for the
2009 season on Saturday, May 2. Jackie Heiligenthal
and her group of dedicated docents will again host
visitors to one of Burlington's treasures. The Cabin,
which is located in Wehmhoff Square just a block
north of the Museum, will be open Saturday afternoons
from 1 to 4 until about mid-October. We also plan to
have it open again some evenings in conjunction with
Burlington's Farmers' Market.
Additional volunteers to handle the docent duties
are needed and would be appreciated. Anyone wishing
to join this dedicated group can contact Jackie at
~262-661-4272 (home) or 763-4943 (work).

Hail, Hail the Gang's All Here!

I just love it when there is a chance to gather all
the family members for a big old-fashioned picnic.
There is just something so heart warming about seeing
cousins and kids and more kids and grandparents and
aunts and uncles all gathered in the same place. Just
knowing that you all share memories of days gone by
and that you share that special bond of being family -there's nothing like it. I don't care how far apart your
family drifts, when they all get together it's like rolling
back the clock, the years disappear and you don't see
anyone as getting older, you see them all as they were.
When you see their children and grandchildren you are
looking into your family's future.
Recently a branch of the family had their annual
family reunion and Dad and I were invited to attend.
These are cousins we saw quite a bit of when I was a
little girl. They lived on a farm right outside of
Burlington and Dad used to help out during haying
season and once in a while with whatever else needed
doing. It was one of my favorite places to visit. Even
though we lived in Lyons -- which was more of a
village than a town; we were still not farm kids -- we
were town kids, but not city kids. We at least knew
what the business end of a cow was for and where
milk came from. I had cousins who lived in the city
who had no idea that milk wasn't manufactured in the
grocery store. The farm was a fascinating place-there was always something going on. To us it was a
great place to visit but to our cousins it was a whole
lot of work that never really ended and pretty much
went 7 days a week year round.
My first memories of the farm take me back to
when farms still raised their own chickens and pigs for
meat. They would have huge vegetable gardens for
canning food and it seemed that the whole day
revolved around getting meals ready for the family.
They would no sooner clean up after breakfast when it
was time to think about lunch and after lunch it was
time to think ahead to supper. I don't think the frying
pan ever had a chance to really cool off. My aunt and
uncle had 5 children and my Dad's two younger
brothers also lived with them. That meant that my
aunt and the girls were cooking for a minimum of nine
people for each meal. That didn't include people like
us who just happened t9 be there-- that added another
five people to the mix. That's a lot of cooking! My
aunt had this huge kitchen table and it seemed like
there was always room for more people at the table -everyone fit around it somehow. My memories of
meals eaten around that table are some of the nicest
ones I have. There was always laughter and tons of
conversation, always more than enough food and that

special feeling of family and belonging.
Believe it or not I was pretty quiet as a child so
when I would be in the midst of my cousins I was
more of an observer than someone who took part in
the conversations and the teasing that took place.
They absolutely fascinated me. They were an
outgoing bunch and lots of fun to be around. No
matter what time of the day you arrived, there was
always something to do. They weren't at all shy about
letting visitors "help" with their numerous chores. But
to us it wasn't work -- it was just exciting stuff. I had
my first up close and personal introduction to chickens
on that farm. I can remember carrying the egg basket
so my cousin could fill it with eggs. I thought
chickens were scary things -- always flapping their
wings and clucking and raising a fuss. Handling the
baby chicks was a whole lot more fun than dealing
with their grown-up counter-parts. I also found that
feeding the pigs was an interesting job. They had
absolutely no manners, they smelled bad and made a
lot of noise. They were interesting to watch but
smelly to be around. It certainly gave me a different
view of the pork chops Mom served for supper. I
loved being out at the farm during the haying season.
It was hard, dirty, sweaty work for the guys but we
kids only had to worry about hanging on tight while
riding around on the hay wagons. You don't see much
of that anymore but back then they thought nothing of
tossing us up on top of the hay bales and letting us
ride back to the barn. How ever did we survive - no
seat belts, no helmets, and no safety nets of any kind?
How different it was to visit the farm after all the
children were grown and gone and my aunt and uncle
had retired from farming. The buildings were all still
there but everything was silent and had that closed up
look. No hustle, no bustle, no roosters crowing, no
noisy farm machinery, no cows mooing in the
distance, none of the noises I came to associate with
visiting the farm. My aunt and uncle are both gone
now but the house and the buildings are still there.
Someone different lives there and it is no longer a
working farm. When I drive by I still see the house as
it was with constant activity, populated with my
cousins and relatives and friends coming and going. If
I close my eyes I can still catch a faint whiff of fresh
mown hay as it lay in the fields and I can still see all
of us sitting around that huge kitchen table, hear the
laughter and the buzz of conversation, the good
natured teasing, the discussions that revolved around
the weather, planting, the price of milk, what needed
doing and who was going to do it. I can see the jars of
peanut butter and jelly that were always present, the
worn oil cloth table covering, the gray flooring and the

the first church in Burlington. Put up in 1847, this small
stone building represented three years of effort by a
committee of volunteers to dig the stone, hew the timbers,
slab:> the lime and create the church. It was demolished
in 1965.
The second stone church for the congregation of St.
Mary of the Immaculate Conception still stands on
McHenry Street. This fieldstone structure is remarkable
for the f~ct that the foundations, also stone and mortar, go
no farther than four or five feet into the ground, yet it
stands as solidly now as when it was built. Beginning in
1855, members of the parish gathered and hauled 10,000
loads of stone in less than four years to build the walls.
The church was completed in 1859. The present church
was built in 1891. Go in, Admire the Gothic interior.

and unduplicated work of the sculptor, George Etienne

It was commissioned by Dr. Francis Meinhardt and given
to the city by him in 1913.
Still valid is Lincoln's poignant call, "With malice
toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right
as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish
the work we are in to bind up the nation's wounds, to care
for him who shall have borne the battle and for his widow
and his orphan to do all which may achieve and cherish a
just and lasting peace among ourselves and with all
nations.''

19. The LINCOLN SCHOOL CORNER. Note the buildings
at this intersection --the fine Victorian home on the north~
west corner -- the Lincoln School, one of Burlington's
earliest school buildings. When the Civil War began and a
call for volunteers went out, all ten boys of Class A
enlisted. In the forecourt, a sundial monument was placed
by Mrs. Charles Dyer Norton (granddaughter of abolitionist William Lloyd Garrison) to honor Dr. Edward Galusha
Dyer, Burlington's first physician and a strong subscriber
to Lincoln's convictions. Dr. Dyer's house, its site marked
by the ship monument across the street on the McCanna

Historic
Burlington

property. was a station on the ''underground railway.''
The C. Roy McCanna home on the southeast corner has
always been one of the most admired residential buildings
in the city. In 1976 it became the McCarthy· Koenig
Funeral Home~ East of it stands the home of Southern
Colonial influence built by Origen Perkins, one of Burlington's earliest and most influential settlers. ~!any street
names in the area south of here refer to members of his
family.
20. THE
MEINHARDT
HOME. Proceeding south on
Kane Street, you will see at
201 S. Kane the former
homestead of the Meinhardt
family. It was the nearest
thing to a baronial estate
that our city had. Extending
from Kane to Randolph
Street and from Livingston
{now W. Chandler Boulevard)
to past Duane. it contained fields and pastureland, an
orchard and a pine grove into which a log cabin had been
moved to provide a rustic place for picnics and parties. The
cabin now stands in Echo Park.
21. EPISCOPAL, METHODIST CHURCHES. Chandler
Boulevard is the only parkway street in Burlington, named
for 0. W. Chandler, great-grandson of a Revolutionary
War officer, grandson of an officer of the War of 1812. The
Chandler home is now 149 Kane St. Going south one block
on Chandler brings you to Edward Street. Turn left and
proceed north. Edward Street joins Perkins Boulevard.
Here stands St. John the Divine Episcopal Church,
built in 1894 for a congregation that was formed in 1869 of
60 persons in 13 families. It is built of brick from the old
Burlington Brick and Tile Co. Stone for the basement
came from the Voree quarry.
At the corner of Perkins Boulevard and State Street,
the Methodist Church was built in 1904. Although this
congregation was begun in 1862, it is interesting to note
that a "Rev. Samuel Stebbins, presiding elder of the
Milwaukee district was at the Lower Forks of Fox River
{site of Burlington) on Thursday, December 7, 1837." That
was just two years after Moses Smith first set foot in the
wilderness here.
22. SILAS PECK HOUSE. The house at 117 N. Perkins
Blvd., next to Lincoln School, was built by early settler
Silas Peck in 1837. It is one of the very first houses built in
Burlington. The original part resembles the limestone
houses you passed on Jefferson Street {#15). At the rear of
the house a large cistern had been dug. In later years this
room, then dry, could be entered by an opening in the
basement wall and was used to harbor runaway slaves
when the house was a stage on the "underground rail~
way." Now the extended kitchen covers the room, which is
almost completely filled in. The house was extensively
remodeled in 1917 by an architect from the Frank Lloyd
Wright office. You see the influence in the upper-floor
casement windows. The stone walls were covered with
glistening crushed granite {now painted).

You will now come to the end of your tour at the
Burlington Historical Museum. We hope you have found it
enjoyable and informative.

the Ban!{ of Burlington. It was from this site thai Laskey's
Saloon was moved toward the river, as you read in #5. You
can see it from this corner. In the same block, the Plush
Horse is on a site that has had a hotel on it ever since the
first one was built by John Pennington Mather in 1865. It
is nm'V
a dining place and bar. The hotel rooms are
used as

Harness Shop is still there at 436; Rosenberj_:(s Department Store wa3 at 425; the ·western Union Hotel at 400.
The building at 388 S. Pine was at one time owned
jointly by the city and town of Burlington. City council
meetings were held on the first floor. The city lihrary on
the second floor doubled as the town meeting room. The
rear of the building housed the fire equipment, also the
one-celled city jail. The main member of the three-man
police force was Chief Beller, who needed only a billyclub
to keep law and order.

17. ST. MARY·s. At the cor··
ner of State and McHenry
streets there was a knoli,
now leveled and paved for a
parking lot. On this knoll
stood St. Sebastian's Church,
the first church in Burlington. Put up in 1847. this small
stone building represented three years of effort by a
committee of volunteers to dig the stone, he\\' the timbers,
slake the lime and create the church. It was demolished

loads of stone in less than four years to build the walls.
The church was completed in 1859. The present church
was built. in 1891. Go in. Admire the Gothic interior.

14. WEHMHOFF SQUARE. ln 1839, at the government
land sales, Silas Peck bought the fraction of land on which
the original part of Burlington was to be built. He had it
surveyed and platted immediately and set aside the entire
block enclosed by Pine, Washington, Dodge and Jefferson
streets for a park. Village fathers neglected it completely,
and it reverted to Peck who divided it up into commercial
lots. The gift of E. John Wehmhoff and his sisters received
better treatment. Their home stood on the present park
site. After their deaths, their wishes that the home be
removed and the grounds developed as a green spot were
carried out. A plaque explains their gift.
Walking along the Perkins Boulevard side of the
square brings you again to the museum, completing the
first loop of the tour.

18. The LINCOLN MONUMENT. Proceeding east (down
hill) on State Street will bring you to the Lincoln Monu~
ment. On the way, notice the stone houses at 232, 172, 132
and 117. The Lincoln Monument is unique. lt is an original
and unduplicated work of the sculptor, George Etienne
Ganiere, created in the studios of Lorado Taft in Chicago.
It was commissioned by Dr. Francis Meinhardt and given

the work we are in to bind up the nation's wounds, to care
for him who shall have borne the battle and for his widow
and his orphan -- to do all which may achieve and cherish a
just and lasting peace among ourselves and with all
nations.

15. JEFFERSON STREET. Continuing west on Jefferson
Street, you find at the corner of Kane the beautifully
proportioned Church of the Nazarene. It was first called the
Free or Union Church, built about 1852 to give a church
home to Unitarians, Baptists, Methodists and perhaps other
denominations. It was remodeled in 1939. Across the
corner, at 225 N. Kane, stands another architectural gem,
the grand wood-frame home built by Charles Jones of the
Jones House hotel. The number of these elaborate Victorian
homes diminishes as the business district expands.

19. The LINCOLN SCHOOL CORNER~ Note the buildings
at this intersection-- the fine Victorian home on the northwest corner -- the Lincoln School, one of Burlington's
earliest school buildings. When the Civil War began and a
call for volunteers went out, all ten boys of Class A
enlisted. In the forecourt, a sundial monument was placed
by Mrs. Charles Dyer Norton (granddaughter of abolitionist William Lloyd Garrison) to honor Dr. Edward Galusha
Dyer, Burlington's first physician and a strong subscriber
to Lincoln's convictions. Dr. Dyer's house, its site marked
by the ship monument across the street on the McCanna

property, was a station on the ''underground railway.''
The C. Roy McCanna horne on the southeast comer has
ahvays been one of the most admired residential buildings
in the city. In 1976 it became the McCarthy-Koenig
Funeral Home. East of it stands the home of Southern
Colonial influence built by Origen Perkins, one of Burlington's earliest and most influential settlers. Many street

1. The MUSEUM of the Burlington Historical Society, on
the corner of Jefferson Street
and Perkins Boulevard, is a
fitting place to begin an ex~
ploration of historic Burlington. Built in 1R83 for the
Cross Lutheran congrega~
tion, it now contains exhibits
of early Burlington, from Indian occupation days to the
1900s. The museum is open Sunday afternoons from ] to 4
during the summer months.
2. The BURLINGTON PUBLIC LIBRARY, builtin 1918 for
a federal post office, is one of the most beautiful public
buildings in the city. Complete library services are available. During the remodeling, workmen opened up a
number of secret stairs and passageways in hollow walls
that were used by post office inspectors for surveillance.
3. JEFFERSON STREET BRIDGE. Continue east on
JeffE"rson Street to the bridge. At this site the first bridge
to span the river \\'as built about 1837 to enable grain to be
taken from Burlington Ithen called Foxville) to the docks at
Southport (Kenosha). 'II·' heat was the first cash crop our
early settlers planted.
Looking to the south, you can see what is left of the
rastle-like building that was the Jacob Muth brewery,
later the Finke~Uhen malt house, and now the Hay}ofters'
Little Theatre. The Haylofters. begun in 1932, is the oldest
little theatre group in Wisconsin.
Looking to the north, you can see the junction of the
\\'hite River coming in from the left and the Fox River
from the right. At all times of the year (winter included) a
great number of semi~wild mallard ducks gather and are
fed here.
4. WEHMHOFF-JUCKER PARK. Across the bridge, the
first street to the left will take you to Wehmhoff·Jucker
Park. It was in a grove of trees ~t this river bend that our
first settlers, MOses Smith and \Villiam \Vhiting, on
December 15, 1835, built a small shanty to shelter them·
selves while thf'y explored the are.a looking for farming
land and a water power site. The park is extensively used
for family picnics. Reservations for group use are made

that were used by post office inspectors for surveillance.
3. JEFFERSON STREET BRIDGE. Continue east on
Jefferson Street to the bridge. At this site the first bridge
to span the river was built about 1837 to enable grain to be
taken from Burlington (then called Foxvillel to the docks at
Southport (Kenosha). Wheat was the first cash crop our
early settlers planted.
Looking to the south. you can see what is left of the
castle-like building that was the Jacob Muth brewery,
later the Finke~Uhen malt house, and now the Haylofters'
Little Theatre. The Haylofters, begun in 1932, is the oldest
little theatre group in \Visconsin.
Looking to the north, you can see the junction of the
White River coming in from the left and the Fox River
from the right. At all times of the year (winter included) a
great number of semi-wild mallard ducks gather and are
fed here.

BURLINGTON
WISCONSIN
BURLINGTON. On a cold December day in 1835, Burlington's two first settlers arrived at the forest wilderness
where our two rivers join. The following tour will take you
to a number of historic spots in the city that developed in
the succeeding 140 years.
1. The MUSEUM of the Burlington Historical Society, on
the corner of Jefferson Street
and Perkins Boulevard, is a
fitting place to begin an exploration of historic Burlington. Built in 1883 for the
Cross Lutheran congrega·
tion, it now contains exhibits
of early Burlington, from Indian occupation days to the
1900s. The museum is open Sunday afternoons from I to 4
during the summer months.

A\~

2. The BURLINGTON PUBLIC LIBRARY, built in 1918 for
a federal post office, is one of the most beautiful public
buildings in the city. Complete library services are avail~
able. During the remodeling, workmen opened up a
number of secret stairs and passageways in hollow walls
that were used by ppst office inspectors for surveillance.
3. JEFFERSON STREET BRIDGE. Continue east on
Jefferson Street to the bridge. At this site the first bridge
to span the river was built about 1837 to enable grain to be
taken from Burlington (then called Foxville) to the docks at
Southport (Kenosha). Wheat was the first cash crop our
early settlers planted.
Looking to the south, you can see what is left of the
castle-like building that was the Jacob Muth brewery,
later the Finke-Uhen malt house, and now the Haylofters'
Little Theatre. The Haylofters, begun in 1932, is the oldest
little theatre group in Wisconsin.
Looking to the north, you can see the junction of the

from the right. At all times of the year (winter included) a
great number of semi-wild mallard ducks gather and are
fed here.

Park. It was in a grove of trees at this river bend that our
first settlers, Moses Smith and William Whiting, on
December 15, 1835, built a small shanty to shelter themselves while they explored the area looking for farming
land and a water power site. The park is extensively used
for family picnics. Reservations for group use are made
with the park superintendent. Telephone 763-7117.

5. LION BRAND MILK. Recrossing the bridge and turning right on Bridge Street
brings you to the group of
brick buildings built by C. B.
McCanna and R. G. Frazer
to house their Wisconsin
Condensed Milk Co .. an
,.
early industry most valuable
I.
to the many dairy farmers in
the area. In the early 1900s
Lion Brand condensed milk
was sold not only in domestic
markets but worldwide.
The building complex on
the north side of Chestnut Street was long known as the
Can Shop, a noisy, clattering factory making cans for the
McCanna plant and also filling railroad boxcars with cans
for use in their condensery plants in Pecatonica, Valders
and Grayslake, Ill. The original section of this complex,
identified by the distinctive brick cornice, once stood on
the north corner of Pine and Chestnut streets and housed
Laske's saloon. Using wood rollers, horses, ropes and
windlass. it was a major engineering feat of the day to
move it down the hill to this site.

6. ECHO PARK. Crossing the White River bridge and
Milwaukee Avenue brings you to Echo Park. Go first to the
dam and stand at the spillway. This dam site is the reason
for Burlington's existence. Here, in 1836, Moses Smith
built his log-and-boulder dam and on the opposite bank
began his sawmill and gristmill for Burlington's first
industries.
In 1843 a sluice was dug, beginning where you are
standing, to guide a flow of water to the wheels of the
Perkins woolen mill located about where the Veterans
Building now stands. Using wool from surrounding sheep
farms, it wove cashmeres, tweeds and flannels of excellent
quality. Thousands of yards of blue woolen cloth came
from that mill for the uniforms of Civil War soldiers. The
mill was destroyed by fire in the 1800s.
The Pioneer Cabin in the park, owned by the city and
furnished by the Burlington Historical Society, is open
from 1 to 4 p.m. Sundays and holidays during the summer.
We will refer to this cabin again in #20. See also the
monument dedicated to those who died in World War I.
7. ECHOBRANDFLOUR.
Crossing the Milwaukee Avenue bridge and turning right
(west) on Commerce Street
brings you to the Standard
Press office building, a
most historic site. Here
Moses Smith constructed his
''up-and~down'' sawmill and
began a three-run gristmill -two millstones for grinding
flour, one for grinding feed.
The gristmill was rebuilt and
enlarged by Ephraim and Pliny Perkins. From here went
the first flour sent East from the Wisconsin Territory. The
building you see was built on the foundatioh of the old
mill. You can get a very good view of the dam from the
compa~y parking lot.

8. FIRST ELECTRIC PLANT. Directly across the street
stands the building that first housed the Wagner Brothers'
Machine Shop. Here in 1888 in an adjacent part, now
gone, the first electric generating plant, steam powered,
was installed. Here, only nine years after Edison invented
the electric lamp, two Edison dynamos created electricity
to light 27 street lamps, six residences and the Opera
House from sundown to 11 p.m. The Opera House, home
of the Teutonia Society, stood on the northeast corner of
Kane Street and Milwaukee Avenue. When dances were
held there, a hat was passed for quarters and dollars to be
sent down to the electric plant to coax the operator to run it
until 3 a.m.
9. The WATERWORKS. Adjacent to the Standard Press
parking lot you see a building that housed the original
waterworks. In 1889, 69 citizens of the village
subscribed $5,000 to drill a well on this site. An artesian
well, its first spontaneous flow was fed into a water trough
for horses. "Thus, horses rather than humans became
the first regular water consumers of the Burlington
Artesian Well and Water Co." (Enoch Squires) The
head of the well, now capped, still exists in the
basement of the building. Pressure pump, water
mains and a water tower completed the $20,000 system
in 1890. Do visit the beautiful old stone water tower,
on the knoll at Lewis and James streets.
The building on the corner of Commerce and Mill
streets was originally the F. G. Klein pop factory. His
Birch Beer, Ginger Ale and Double Cola, all made with
Burlington's pure, clear artesian well water, refreshed the
taste of the youngsters as the Finke-Uhen beer did their
fathers'.
10. SHOPPING CENTER. SPIEGELHOFF'S grocery
carries one of the oldest names in the Burlington
business area. Begun in 1916 by A.T. Spiegelhoff this
grocery is still operated by the second and third
generations of that family. William F. REINEMAN started
his hardware store in 1906 with a carload of fancy Bement
cooking ranges which pretty well crowded his first 20 x
40·foot store on Pine Street. Both stores have moved from
their original locations.
11. THE JONES HOUSE. A
large, wood-frame hotel was
built on the south corner of
Chestnut Street and Milwaukee Avenue by Pliny Perkins
and Hugh McLaughlin in
1839, only four years after
the first settler built a log cabin for his shelter. It became,
in 1845, the favorite place to watch the exciting arrival and
departure of the stage coach running from Racine to
Janesville. Charles Jones replaced it with a three-story
brick building, the renowned "Jones House." The name
"Jones Block" can still be seen on the Chestnut Street
face of part of the building. Succeeding owners changed
the name to the Badger Hotel, then the Coach Lamp. In
1968, fire damaged the upper stories, after which hotel
rooms were discontinued and the whole first floor became
the present Coach Lamp restaurant.
12. CHESTNUT STREET. From the beginning, the bend
in Chestnut Street has been the center of Burlington. Note

SCHMALING PARK
SHELDON AND BELOIT STREETS
BURLINGTON, WISCONSIN

In 1840 a little brick schoolhouse, 22 x 28 ft. was built
"down on the flat". It was the first building in Burlington
built specifically as a school. In 1841 Silas Peck deeded lot
5 block 47 of the original plat, to Burlington School
District #1 for a consideration of $20.00. William Penn
Lyon, later Justice Lyon of the Supreme Court of
Wisconsin, was one of the early teachers, as were Lorenzo
Eastman, Amos Eastman, Aniplias Chamberlain, a Mr.
Beveridge and Charles J. Jones (who later built the Jones
House, later known as the Badger Hotel). While some
"used justice tempered with mercy" it has been noted that
some used the discipline of the hickory switch.

In 1983 the Burlington Historical Society heard that
the schoolhouse was about to be destroyed. The Society
could have possession of the historical building if it were
moved and replaced with a modern garage. Failure to find
an appropriate site almost brought an end to the idea of
preserving the school. The officers of the society refused
to let the matter drop. A new impetus was given by
building a float, "Save the Whitman School", for the 1985
sesquicentennial parade.
Many sites were considered, but for one reason or
another all proved unavailable. Finally the Water
Commission, under the chairmanship of Richard Vande
Sande, invited the Society to bring the schoolhouse to
Schmaling Park, water commission headquarters at
Sheldon and Beloit streets.
Newspaper articles kept the community aware of the
progress and the need for help. And people responsed -both individuals and groups-- with money, help and
materials.

Careful last minute checks are made before the building is
finally put into place. Ten days work and an hour ride
across town preceeded final placement.
E. A. Raettig Photo

Moving day was July 28, 1986. While the roof and walls
were intact, a foundation was needed as was a new floor;
a new cedar shake roof replaced the three layers of old
roofing. The interior was restored to its original one-room
status and the 1840s era.
An original two-seater wooden desk from the very old
St. Sebastian School was given to the society and
duplicated by Ron Kahl and his woodworking class at
Burlington High School. Kerosene lamps (now electrified)
and wrought iron wall brackets were donated, as were a
set of McGuffy Readers and other old school books, three
roll-down wall maps and other artifacts. Slate
blackboards were acquired from the old Cooper School.

A picture of the original Whitman School taken in 1843
when it was also used as a Presbyterian church.
The little schoolhouse stood near the middle of the block
now bounded by Jefferson, Dodge, Madison and Pine
streets, but by 1856 it was too small for a growing
community. A new school was built at Kane and State
streets -- Lincoln School. The school board sold the old
school and property to William Johnson. In 1866 it was
again sold, this time to Lucius 0. Whitman and his son,
Chester M. Whitman who kept the property until1919.
Because of the length of their ownership the building
became known as the Whitman School. At some point
partitions were put into the building. It has been used as a
place of worship, a warehouse, a home and lastly as a
repair shop.

A typical picture of the 1800s.

glimpses of every-day living tha:t cannot be got from cutand-dried text books. No matter how long a young person
goes to school, if he knows nothing. of _current events-of

Or. Wm. Leek in the Racine School and Mr. Golfe in the
Kenosha School began· the year's talks· from our outside

by the students. Just how helpful they are we are unable
to know until we too get out Into the world of alfairs and
"up against" the real everyday difficulties Instead of the

The class picture from which the plate on another page
was made is now ready at Mr. Billings' studio. It is so
good that we believe every member of the class will want
one. It doesn't cost much, and with every year it gets

more valuable to the possessor. Sure)y those in the class
will want to remember for all time who their classmates
were.
Five new Underwood machines have just been installed,
eight new Remingtons are on the way. Every machine in
the buildings more than two years old Is to be exchanged
for a new machine. This will give us a complete equipment
of thirty machines, none being more than a year and a
half old.

I.~EO
E.
Some four or five years. ago we had a nursery n1an set
out some trees In our yard. Handling the spade, at a
1aborer's wage, of course, was a bright boy of eighteen or
nineteen. The nursery man, took the writer . aside and
suggested that "that boy is too good to be handling a
shovel. See ·if you can get. him to go to. school." We sent
the boy some literature,: and when night school began
Alvord was one of the first enrol.ed.
For three winters he stuck faithfully to his books and
was sent by :us to a factory located. at Winthrop Harbor,
six miles south of Kenosha.
The omce n;~anager had
dlmculty in securing help because the young gentry did
not want to be that far from Kenosha, and· it was "too
much like work" to catch an early train every morning for
their .six-mile ride. It did not .seem to· be trarticularly hard
for Leo Alvord, however, and he remained with the firm
until.his worth attracted the attention of the Kenosha Gas
Company.
This company secured his services and he
remaihed with them for something like a year and a half.
'lf'l·· _had an· opportunity to.·better himself and· took a
n m Chicago.
ompa;,y needed him .and. induced him
-return to Kenosha to take full charge of their
busY,; ;omce.
He is drawing .an excellent salary for a
yo;,ng.oinan, ·has plimty of oppo.rtunity to exercise executive
ability,' and .. is su~ely one of the coming su~cessful men in
big. business affairs. His ability, his willingness to :work
l1ard' an'd. all the time; .and. his winning personaUty make
up a com binatlon entire!~ too rare in young men of the
present: There are hundreds of Leo Alvords needed today,
right jn ou,r· own community. The diiDculty is too many
are unwilling. to endure 'the test. They do not qualify;
consequently they are never in the race.

"Although the United States has only about 5 per cent
of •the world's population,, it produces 20 per cent of the
world's. wheat, 22 per cent of Its gold, 33 per cent of its

silver, 40 per cent. of its pig iron, 42 per cent of its steel,
55 per cent. of its copper, 60 per cent of its petroleum, 70

EMMA

CHARLOTTE
TWO E\'ERETTS
These two girls are sisters. They came from the East
after finishing t)le grades in an excellent school. Emm'l
Immediately took up shorthand work under Miss Binns,
finished the course at the head of her class July 1, 1910,
took a heavy shorthand position with the Chicago Brass
Company. Today, she is doing their most exacting stenographic work and the omcials say she is one of the best
stenographers they have ever had.
Charlotte followed her sister a year later. She finished
with the class of 1911 and was placed at once with the
Frost Manufacturing Company, Charlotte Is just sixteen.
Emma lacks six months of being eighteen.
They are
earning· twenty dollars a week and have a future assured
that makes them independent for life.
THE 1911 CLASS PICTURE.
·we take special pride in printing the class picture of
1911. It is no disparagement to the other good classes
to say that hi ail our school experience there is no class
that represents more real merit than the class shown here.
The general ability of the young people, their willingness
to work hard and stick to it, their general loyalty to the
school, and the keen interest they took in everything
suggested for the advancement of themselves and the other
students, make them a group long to ba ren1embered by
those they left behind in the school-both pupils and
teachers.,
One of the things that softens the hard lot of the teacher
ls the remembrance of just such whole-souled manly and
womanly young people as this class contains. No matter
where their future may lead them or what their careers
may be, there will remain ln the hearts of those with whom
they worked, the kindliest sympathy and the heartiest
good wishes.

Those who want future issues of School Sense must ask
for them at the Racine omce. 'Ve have been issuing 12,000
COJ)ies and scattering them more qr less oroadcast. Next
month, however, they will go only to those on our mailing
list or who ask for them.
