Division Point Jumped
River 80 Years Ago

PRA. DU CHIEN-It was a bright,
clear, beautiful morning thirty years
ago today, but turned bitter cold
along late in the afternoon. The day
is we'll remembered by many of the
older residents of the city for it was
the day on which the division point
of the Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul
road was moved from Prairie du Chen
to Marquette and with it followed the
removal to other points some two
hundred railway people.
Thirty years is a long span of time
but the wound made has long been
healed and Prairie du Chen is as
busy and prosperous as ever.
