WITH The POTOSI PIONEERS

In 1841 Joseph Hall, who came to
Lafayette in 1884, erected a large
stone building and occupied by him as
a livery stable for many years. This
building like others III the row was
destroyed by the fire of 1918. A nice
hollow tile building is now on this lot
and used as a warehouse by the firm
of Elskamp & Wiedman. Joe Hall and
family for many years lived in a log
house near the barn.
In this year John Van Dyke built a
tWo-story brick store building adjoin-
ing the Bell and Cox and Groshong
buildings. 1t was afterward occupied
by Mckenzie and Augustine as a gen.
eral store. This building went down
in the fire of 1900
John Corwith erected two-story
brick building on the lot where the
bank building now stands 1t was
first occupied by Isaac G. Try as a
general store and later by John
Thompson as a merchant tailor shop.
In 1910 a frame hotel building was
removed from Oceola to Potosi, and
when in the new place, was remodel
ed and made into a good hotel build
ing 1t was first called the City Hotel
and retained that name until about
the year 1872 when it was changed to
the Voolfolk House. 1t is now the
residence of Mrs. George H. Lewis
A big belfry on the roof called the
boarders to their meals and answered
the purpose of firebell The old bell
is yet daily heard in Potosi at the
Ostermeier House.
Other buildings built in 1912 was a
brick dwelling by DR.. Hewett on North
street, another brick dwelling by Asa
Hough, D. A. Mckenzie built a brick
dwelling and Robert Templeton and
David Gillispie frame dwellings down
near Van Buren,. Martin T. Ennor
built a log and frame building adjoin-
ing Cook and Brenneman's store build
ing and opened up bakery. He later
became landlord of the City Hotel

The territory then contained pop
ulation of nearly 1400. The first ell
ectiOn was held at the house of Gel
estin Kaltenbach in Van Buren,. The
incorporation OF the village was re-
pealed in the early fifties. The clerks
books had disappeared and no offic-
ial record of the village was obtain
able.
Madam Entz of Galena put out hel
sign as milliner in 1843, the first il

to the lead mines were a number OF
French people. Among them were
