at the state line, they were in
formed by the Indians that no
whites would be allowed to locate
on their lands. Unable to proceed
any further in that direction, they
turned about and travelled north to
the Red river. They stopped at
Fergus Falls. Most of the way
they depended on their campass for
direction, there being no road and
no settlers. There was not a house
in what is now the city of Fergus
Falls and the whole country was
unsurveyed. Not finding anything
to suit, they took the Red River
trail and followed it to near Rich
mond, where they took the road to
Paynesville. where in the month Of
July, 1858, they located in what is
now the town of Rosevllle.
July 4, 1861, Hugh Blakely was
married to Justina Schmidt, a
daughter of one of the first settlers
of Roseville. Ten children were
born to Mr.. and Mrs. Blakely, nine
Of whom are still living.
Hugh Blakely served as county
commissioner for Monongalia coun-
ty up to the time of it's consolida-
ton with Kandiyohi county; served
as chairman Of supervisors, as JUS
tice Of the peace and assessor, and
as school trustee DUNG his long
residence in the township some of
these Offices were placed in his care.
He was one of the organizers of
this Old Settlers Association and

When the bells in the church

There were seven settlers who To-
Gated claims in the community gen.

lines to these. First came Even

Even Railsons' story Of how in COM

Eagle Lake settlement, forded the
swollen Pipe creek, and finally ran
a foot race to determine who was
to have the first pick of the land,
is we'll known to all. The land
office records show that they select

Even Railson was Joined by his
brother, Andrew, who located on
the ideal place where he still lives.
The two brothers named the lake
while adrift on a crude raft, at

KANDIYOHI COUNTY OLD SETTLERS
ANNUAL REUNION AT SPICER

mously extended and adopted by a
rising vote.
E. T. Woodcock of Urbana, Ohio,
the first white settler of the coun-
ty, was present and entertained the
members with some interesting
"reminiscences from the early days.
A vote Of thanks was extended to
Mr.. Woodcock for the interest
shown in coming so far to help in
making the meeting a success, and
he and his family were invited to
attend the meeting in Atwater on
the third Tuesday in June, 1909.
The business meeting thereupon
adjourned.
The social session began at the
Chautauqua Auditorium at one
o'clock p. m. Thru the courtesy of
the managers of the Chautauqua a
very interesting and enjoyable part
had been added to the program,
namely music by the Ladies' Sym
phony Orchestra, which furnished
music at intervals during the pro-
gram, giving unquestionably the
best musical feature that ever
heightened the enjoyment Of a
meeting of the association. After
the first musical number, President
Wicklund introduced Mr.. Russell
Spiccr, president Of the Chautau-
/ qua board, who cordially welcomed
the old settlers and wished them a
! very good time. He also took oc-
casion to explain the purposes Of
the Chautauqua and expressed the
hope that cordial relations would
always exist between that institu-
tion and the Old Settlers Assncia-
ton. President WickIund respond
ed briefly and at the close of his re-
marks vote of thanks was extend
ed to the Chautauqua management
for the favors extended, the resolu-
ton being adopted unanimously by
a rising vote.
