John Walker, father of Mrs. Will
liam Hunt, Joseph Rackerby, Il
family named Basing, Thomas Won
Berg and Adam, brother, Mathew
Horner, and many other, whose
names l am unable to recall, were
early settlers here.
Joseph Backerby built a one-story
brick dwelling in the village that yet
stands in q good state of preservation
Adam Berg built two story brick
dwelling a short distance west of the
Rackerby dwelling and opposite the
Anton Iingscheid brick residence and
shoe shop. The latter two mentioned
buildings have gone to decay.
Tho John Walker frame dwelling
down the hollow is still standing as
is also the log houses of Thomas
Nogelsberg and Richard Richards.
There are other historical dwelling
houses yet standing and occupied for
instance the same Vance frame dwell
ing that later became the homo of
Thomas and Aunt Lizzie Davies; the
James Vance frame building; Joseph
Petty, Christopher Peacock and Chas.
Vincent, frame buildings; William
Richards, brick; and William Eaus-

others The William Hunt and Sam
Vance store buildings and the histor-
ical old Union Hotel, are among the
standing reminders of the past The
people of British Hollow in pioneer
days, were as a rule OF joval nature
and fond of amusements, dancing in
particular. There were no classes,
the rich and poor mingled together as
one. Generosity was one of their
beautiful traits. No poor person or
family in need ever went hungry. All
were fed and clothed by the whole
soul and neighborly people. The latch
strings in the doors always hung on
the outside. The women, no better
ever lived, were always ready to give
a helping hand in cases of sickness
and distress, there was no f1inching
amongst them, all were ready to give
assistance. The money purses of the
men were open to the needy and many
a sovereign was given to charity.
Money was no object to these kind
hearted people when help was need
ed
The inhabitants of British Hollow
were religiously inclined, some wor-
shipping in a brick Methodist church
in the little village, while others wor-
shipped at the Catholic churches in
Potosi and Dutch Hollow. The brick
Methodist church was built in about
the year of 1845. 1t was used for re-
ligious purposes until 1859 or 60
when a new frame church was built
in the upper part of the village. The
brick edifice was sold years later and
was converted into cance hall, and
many years thereafter was destroyed
by tornado.
The people who dwelt in British
Hollow in the early days were of
musical nature and loved good sing
ing. There were many women and
men in this small community who
possessed wonderful voices and knew
how to use them, and their equals
were not to be found. Even the must
cal voices of the children, not long
out of the cradle, could be heard at
the homes of those music loving peo-

Before closing my efforts in writ
ing history of British Hollow, it is
called to my mind to make mention CT
other old timers who settled here in
the early mining days. James, Will
liam, Jonathan; Thomas and Robert
Langstaff (whon I think were broth
ers) came from England to this, then
lively mining camp. Jonathan and
William came with families. They
followed mining and smelling lead
ore and were lot of respected and
law abiding citizens. They have all
passed away. James as | have here
tobefore mentioned in my narratives,
gave a tract of land for a cemetery
in British Hollow and lies buried in
the lot he gave for burial purposes.
Jonathan, William and Thomas are
also buried in this cemetery Robert
enlisted as a soldier in the war in
1861, and served with Co. "F'' 10th
Regiment, Wisconsin Volunteer In
fantry. Some time in the late seven
ties he returned to England and
short time thereafter ended his life
by cutting his throat. Two descen-
dants of Johnathan Langstaff still re-
side in British Hollow, they are
Simon Langstaff a son, now aged and
blind, and Mrs. Elizabeth Chalder.
Isaac GLADDEN. was another early
arrival at this mining camp, also COM
ing from England. He followed
mining as q pursuit and was fairly
successfully. He was an honest man
and was liked by everyone who had
the pleasure of his acquaintance. He
married q widow with a family of
children named Thomas, and for
years lived together in log cabin in
Yankee Hollow, where both died
many years ago.
John Wilson was another promi-
nent old-time settler in this lively
little burg. Re met with a misfor-
tune in his youth by having leg
broken that made him a cripple. He
was a fine appearing man and gen.
tleman in every respect. He was a
good violinist and with Charlie Mont
pleasure, better known as Charlie
French" made the music for all the
dances then given in the early days
of pleasure. He entered in the mer
camille business and conducted a
store in British Hollow for several
years and afterward went into the
saloon business. He died in British
Hollow many years ago.
Charlie French, John Wilson's
musical partner, and wonderful
violinist drifted westward, and after
two score years or more in Denver
and other important cities of the
West, playing with fine orchestras, he
returned to British Hollow about
seven years ago, and died in Platte
vile at an advanced age three years
ago. 1t can be truthfully said that he
was violinist of great ability. His
music was of classical order, and hav-
ing the French instinct for music, he
knew how to handle the bow and
finger the strings.
James Richards and Samuel PEN
glaise were other English miners
who came to this camp at an early
date, bringing their wives along. Both
reared good and interesting families.
There is but one descendant of these
two families now living in the county.
