These first settlers were obliged to 20
to Auburn, Fayette county, Iowa, a
distance of eighty miles, for their mail
and to buy provisions. Many a trip
they made with OK teams. After the
mail route between Usage and Austin
was established, mail matter was left
at Orlando Wilder's for distribution in
the neighborhood. This was great
convenience.

were: William Allen who lived for a
time on section 20 and then went to the
Pacific coast; Benjamin Coe, Ed Spra-
que, John Woodwork, James Davis,
Dilazon and Lorenzo Moshier, David

of the prosperous townships of the
