land and loaded in his father and
mother, Mr. and Mrs. Griffen Hickok
and myself to take US to the reunion
at Cuba City, we bivoucked that
night at his residence about one mile
east of GillhooIey's corner, where
we enjoyed the beautiful scenery
and magnificent landscape surround
ing his rural home, and was sur
prised at what he had accomplished
in so short time as an agriculturist.
Ke has about the best equipped barn
and out buildings we have ever wit,
messed in Wisconsin. His horse and
COW barn, is equipped with all the
latest improvements, including gas
lights, ventilation and water, etc.
His water power consists of a gasoline
engine, which also runs feed mill i,
cream: separator and washing ma
chine, all under one roof. After en-
joying one of those sweet reposes
which only traveller can. and having
bountiful spread for breakfast
which no one but well to do farmer
can furnish, we embarked on our
way to Belmont, where we visited
with his brother Harry and family
till the next morning. Harry is the
leading hardware man at that place,
and it was the first time we ever
visited the first capitol of Wisconsin,
where Nelson Dewey was inaugurated,-
the first governor of the state. From
there we proceeded to Cuba City,
where we met and grasped the hands
of "149" of the old boys of 81 to 65.
