The father, Mr.. John F. Grell,
came to this country in 1855,
when IA years of age. He was
born in NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
Germany, IN 1871. He first went
to Chicago and later to Niles
Center, Ill. It was then that he
met A. J. Smell, the Chicago mil
hOna1re, who was murdered in
that city a number of years ago.
Mr.. Grel accompanied him to
this place and was closely assoc
lated with him for some time,
being employed by him in cut
ting timber. Since 1864 Mr..
Grell resided at Johnson Creek,
up till the time of his death the
4th Of last July. He was united
In marriage February ~, 1866,
to Miss Gesche Hedden. They
were blessed with six children
Henry, John, Fred, Mrs. Anna
Warnes and Emma Dupke and
also Minnie Auer, who passed on
a few years ago.
AS is always the case with
these early pioneers, the wife and
mother is an important factor
in the success of all their under
takings. This instance is no ex-
ception. Mrs, Grells maiden
name was Miss Gesche Hedden.
She was born in HOlstein-Fries-
en-, Germany, near the boundary
line of Denmark. In 1854 she
came to America with her pa
rents, intending to settle in st.
Louis where some of the other
relatives had gone. But owing
to sickness in the family they
were advised to go north and SO
they came to Johnson Creek.
Shortly after coming here her
cousin and sister died. The fam
lily moved into what was then
a school building and still reside
in the same place, the' building
having been remodeled into a
convenient dwelling, however.
Her father was a blacksmith by
trade and attended to the wants
of the farmers in this line for
miles around. She attended
school for some time in build
ing two miles away, to which

and an hour spent in her com
pany is most interesting as she
draws the pictures of the early
days SO wildly before the vision
of her guests.
H. Grell later established a
general store, which is now con-
Quoted by Drews & Dove. This
business progressed most success
fully and a large number of
friends were gained by upright
methods employed.
Returning to the subject of the
dairy industry, the latter bust
ness was established in 1888,
when the first creamery was pur-
chased. In 1892 the concern
was Incorporated as the H. 7.
Grell Butter and Egg Co., with
Mr.. John F. Grell as president.
AS we said before the business
rapidly forged to the front. With
their square and upright bust
ness dealings came a wide ex-
pansions in business. New cream.
cries were bought until now the
firm has the control of fourteen
different creameries throughout
the state. Their trade extends
throughout the state. Their
trade extends throughout the
East, North and South and the
present growth is phenomenal
They manufacture but one grade
Of butter, known as the Rose
Leaf brand.
Their home business is con-
Quoted in neat and up-to-date
office furnished with modern fix
lures; and in early morning
when the farmers come in with
their milk it is a sight worth see
ing at the home of the creamery.
Some idea Of the volume aid
growth Of the business may be
obtained from the comparative
figures given below:
In the year 1888 at the begin
ming OF business the concern
turned out S6,2O9 pounds of
butter and for the correspond
ing time this year they will pro-
badly reach the million pound
mark. In addition they are
handling about 20 to % car

GRELL BUTTER AND EGG co.
o-lncident with the general

o-incident with the general
elopment of the state of Wis
sin, is that of the butter and
3 business. Wisconsin being a
dairy state, the dairy business is
necessarily a part of it's history
and the growth of the industry
keeps pace with the growth of
the state. The section of the
country to which this article re-
fers, is especially adapted to the
creamery business asis evidenced
by the numerous prosperous es-
Establishments which have sprung
up in this line and within a few
years have come to OCCUPY a
front rank with the dairy con-
Germs of the country. AS it is
with the state in general, so it is
with Johnson Greek, as there is
certainly no town which owes
more Of it's success to the dairy
business than does this thriving
little place.

was made as follows: H. T.
Grell, president; J. c. Grell, vice

still continues it's phenomenal

but an indication of the still

ture which daily becomes a real
