Two historical old buildings went
down in the fire of June 8. Inc Wis
cOnsin House, as It has Deen known
for three-quarters of a century, and
where the postoffice ana Seaton' S
drug store were located at the time
of the fire was built in 1913. It was
built for hotel purposes, hence the
name Wisconsin House. Hearing old
timers talk about this building in my
younger days and if my memory
serves me right the late Celestine
Kaltenback. father of our present
postmaster, was the first landlord of
this hotel. In the early fifties this
building ceased to be used for hotel
purposes and was converted to other
uses. The first floor rooms were made
into store rooms and the second floor
was used for apartments. Among the
old-time business men who occupied
the south part as general stores were
G. Lee Anderson, Robert Tcmpleton
and r. H. Visscher, Isaac P. Large,
James W. Seaton, e. M. Hoyt, VIM.
Patton, Henry w. Wright. In later
years this part was occupied by J.
A. Seaton as drug store In the
north store room DR.. B. Armstrong
established drug store. He was sue
ceeded by a man named Bristol and
he by Richard Armstrong. In later
years Thomas r. Seaton and Elias S.
Rockwell. For the past 10 years the
room had been occupied as the post
ONCE. The other old building was
built OF stone and was always known
as Joe Halls livery barn 1t was built
by Jos. Hall in 1843 or before that
time as may be and for many years
III pioneer times was used by him as
a livery and feed barn. Mr.. Hall
came to Potosi from Kentucky back
In the thirties and was widely known
in southwestern Wisconsin. In after
years the building was used for var
1ous purposes and for the last two
years was occupied by Elskamp e
W1edmann as a hardware warehouse
and now nothing remains but the
stone walls.
Twenty young men from Potosi
VINO volunteered their services to
their country were killed in the war
OF the rebellion. Their names are
