WHAT'S in name? 1t has been in com.
lent our columns to establish the opinion,
that our goodly county owes its name as being
complimentary to Lieut. Robt. f. Lee, later
the generalissimo of the forces Of the now
defunct confederacy. This being so doesn't
necessitate the political complexion Of Lee
county maiorites. But the Des MONIES Req.
aster IS informed by Mr.. j. B. Stewart that
the rebel chief isn't honored in our county S
name. The name, he tells the REGISTER, is
not derived from the late rebel General, but
from member of the firm of Marsh, Lee 4
Delavan land agents of Albany, n. Y, who
had claims in the famous half-br tract
Mr.. Stewart received his information from a
Mr.. Gillett, who kept store many years ago in
Cedar county, not far from the present town
of Mt. Vernon, Linn county Mr.. Gillett
stated that in the year 1886, he was the agent
OF Marsh, Lee Deavan, and during the first
session of the Territorial Legislature of Wis.
consin, he was at the place of its session.
While there the question of dividing Des
MONIES county, which had been created by
Michigan Territory, came up, and a commit.
tee was appointed for the purpose That
committee met at the lodgings of one of the
members, with whom Mr.. Gillett roomed. 1t
was agreed that each member of the commit.
tee should name one of the counties. There
beng one more county to be named than
give the odd county designation. He at
once selected the name of Lee, which was
accepted by the committee, and adopted by
the Territorial Legislature.
That we cannot trace our countys cogno.
men 10 Gen. Lee, appears also from the fact
that the county was organized by Wisconsin
and not Iowa Territory. Thus is indicated
the fair fame of this portion of our sovereign
State.
