In the write-up of the birthday par
ty to Gilbert Mckay last week, by

frontier village, and father Mckay
might have purchased the larger part
of the present site of Milwaukee for a
few hundreds of dollars. Not having
the money or the disposition to specu-
late in buying swamp by the lake,
father Mckay settled on small farm
and worked at his trade of carpenter.
