This is a rare historical document
for Baraboo, one that goes back to
territorial times, to time when
Baraboo was hamlet on the western
frontier. Hon. Margan l.. Martin was
congressman at the time from Wis
consin territory and his life was an
interesting one. The daughters are
turning much of his correspondence,
letters from the founders of the state
to the State Historical society at
Madison. The old home stands on a.
beautiful site on the bank of the Fox
river in Green Bay, landmark that
goes back many years.
DR.. Angle is buried at st. Mary's,
Kansas, dying in 1887. He was a
brother-in-law of the late DR.. A. A.
Noyes and his brother, H. G Angle,
married Miss Francis Garfield, a sis
ter of w. II. Garfield.
