SAUK COUNTY
PLACE NAME
Continued from First Page.)

Cyrus Leland built dam in Honey
Creek and erected mill. The place
was called Leland thereafter. The Lee
land dam was used for saving lumber
and was located at the east end of the
present flour mill. 1t had large I'M
dershot wheel, and was one of those
groaning, squeaky, ancient affairs that
used TO slowly thresh out the lumber.
In 1868 Koenig & Pagel built the
present mill which is still operated.
The post office was discontinued Feb
ruary l, 1907.
Lime Ridge-A postoffice in the
town of Ironton. Concerning the NAM
ing and early history of the office,
Mrs. Belle Bohn Of Lime Ridge writes:
"The first postoffice was established
at Lime Ridge about 1858 or 1859 at
the home of Charles Cushman, the
first postmaster, one mile west of the
present village of Lime Ridge on the
farm now owned by Charles Gonsolin.
This name was given it on account of
the limestone found in the vicinity,
there being a lime kiln nearlowned by
Frederick Rowe and the location on a
high ridge suggested the latter part of
the name. The mail was carried from
DeSoto, point near Prairie du CHEN,
to Kilbourn city once week and back.
A man named John McMaster and
another named William Shaw were
mail carriers in these early days.
About 1861 the office was taken to
the home of William Thornburgh who
was the next postmaster, Mr.. Cush-
man having moved away. 1t was af-
terward taken to the present site of the
village. Wesley Marsh having built
store at this place, was appointed
postmaster about 1867 or 1868. John
Pollock was the next postmaster in
the early 70's, then Robert Bohn was
appointed in 1875, later James Mastin
was postmaster followed by William
Brenizer, Clark Miner and the present
incumbent, George Copley.
Litchfield-Plat of portion of the
eastern part of the city of Baraboo. It

came from Litchtield, Conn.,, which
in turn was settled by people from

REASONS FOR A SANE FOURTH
The Journal of the American Medi-
cal association has compiled figures to
show why the American people should
observe sane Fourth. In the year
1903 the number killed was 1855 and
and the number wounded was 1888.
In 1911 this had been reduced to 81
killed and 1,546 wounded. In the
nine years the total number killed and
wounded in celebrating Independence
Day was 39,129-over 80 regiments and
about as many people as there are in
Sank county. The parents who look
back to the sorrow of other days and
the widows who feel the consequences
of the hour can give reasons for sane

should see less suffering and sorrow,
fewer graves in the marble cities.
