the men were John Bullen ,Jr., Hudson.

is any one living that was there before
that let them hold up their hand.

some in my younger days. I helped to
roll up the first log house in what is
now the City Of Kenosha, and helped
get out the timber for the first frame
building, and then went to Racine and
stayed a few days, and as it happened
helped put up the first frame building
in that city.
Resigue and Noble were the first
merchants that did business, they start
cd their store on the island sometime

medlcIne, ne stayed short time and
then went to Racine and was Post
Master for several years.
Crosit and Grafton were the first
Blacksmiths. Jason Lothrop, Sr., was
the first Minister of the gospel, he also
did the first printing that was done in
the now City Of Kenosha, it was done
in rude style, but it was printing af-
ter all.

boy that was born in Kenosha
Your humble servant was the first
that had the old-fashioned shaking
