MARTELL-In the fall of 1849 a
Frenchman by the name of Jock
came here and reared small cabin
He came not to cultivate the soil,
but to capture denizens of the for
est, then SO numerous. In the fall
of 1850 he was joined by three other
Frenchmen, Joseph Martel, John
Dee and Louis Foe. In the same
fall Hans Iverson came here with
party of his Norwegian brethren,
seeking place where they might
locate colony. : Mr.. Iverson
moved his family here in the fall of
81 and SO in reality may be counted
the first real settler. Roman KAY
also made claim in 1851, where he
now resides. These parties were
joined in 1852 by the families of
Hans Stumble, Peter Allison and
Matthias Staten; and early in So
by Cool Wahl, Peter Anderson and
MAIDS Presterud. Then came Uncle
Peter Nelson with his blacksmith
shop. Uncle Amos Bonesteel ar
rived in SO. Mrs, Bonesteel soon
became famous for knowledge of
medicine, and to-day not a few of
those who ere long will read these
lines are indebted for their lives to
the departed Aunty Lucy.
CLIFToN-It was in 1857 that the
Prescott folks became ambitious
and ventured into a city govern
ment. This left the outside terri
tory free to organize anew, so out of
the old town of Prescott the towns
of Clifton and Oak Grove were
formed. Thus on the 9TH day of
April, 1857, Clifton became fully
identified as town by holding her
first town meeting and elected Of
