A few words about this burg to the
readers of The Pilot will not be amiss at
this moment. This town Is located in the
northeastern extrcm ty of Manitowoc Co..
| bounded on the east by Lake Michigan
forming a part of the so-called Sandy
Bay.
The town contains eleven full and five
fractional sections, all naturally low. and
is matter Of fact its soil is very fertile
thereby rendering it suitable for agricul-
ture, dairylng and sheep raising. By the
census of 1890 it had 121 inhabitants
Two Creeks proper now may be compar-
ed with Rome and it, downfall. Be.
tween twenty and thirty years ago 1t had
a population of 900 but to-day it has
about % inhabitants all of whom reside
there aud manage their own business
This decline is largely owing to the re.
moval of the tannery aud saw-mill which
were located here and owned by Pfister
4 Vogel Co. AS all new wood towns are
endowed with a booming spirit, time
gradually decreased the necessary supply
of hemlock bark, logs, ties, wood and tim.
Der. When all wood supplies were
exhausted, it's laborers sought
work elsewhere, leaving it with
a store, post ofi,o, two saloons
blacksmith shops and wagon shops, a
shoemaker and three cheese factories.
Two Creeks, although small, the farm
| ing country OF this and ADJOINING towns
keep it busy in all the lines of industry.
The Company's property was successfully
managed by different parties for certain
periods Of tins and is at present under
the able arrangement of-O.- Busch, who
IN connection with the store deals in all
kinds of farm produce.
Mostly all the farmers now located in
this vicinity made part of their fortune
in the once booming Two Creeks. 1t was
settled by people of different nationalities
mostly foreigners who emigrated here
from Germany, Austria, Norway, Poland,
Ireland and England. Look at it to-day
it presents healthy. happy and prosper
Gus class of people. j. T. W.
