The sewer system was started
in 1894 ard covered the retail
district. In 1897, under the dir
ection of Superintendent Park
hill, the system was extended
into the residence district and to
the Jail, court house and public
schools. c. w. Lake assisted
Parkhill in his work.
In 1885 the fire department
was reorganized into the pre-
sent one, with F. w. Philbrick as
chief. By 1900 it had become one
of the most efficient volunteer
fire departments in the state. No
expense or pains were spared in
bringing the department up to a
high standard. The equipment
consisted of two hose carts'with
$50 feet of hose on each, one
hook and ladder truck and one
70 gallon chemical, with 38 men
to handle the apparatus.
Erects Brick Building
G. E. Mckay came to Red
wood Falls from New York state
in 1878 and was the senior mem
Der of the firm of Mckay and
Race, dealers in groceries. In
1886 he erected the first brick
building on Mill street, known
as the main street. The first
floor of the building housed the
grocery store and the second was
and still is, the home of the
Masonic and Eastern Star LODI
ges. In 1890 he erected the build
ing on the north and the Odd
Fellows and Rebekah lodges oc-
cupied the second floor.
F. w. Philbrick was born in
Fond du Lac, Wisconsin, May 5,
1854. He was principally reared
! in Minnesota, where his parents
moved in 1856, making their
home at Rushford, in Fillmore
county, and there his education
was obtained in the public
schools. AT Is he began teaching
in that county and his first BUSH
resS experience was as clerk
in a general store. It was in the
year 1879 that he came to Red
wood Falls where, in connection
with c. A. Francois, he purchas-
ed the stock of general merchan-
disc of Sickle and Wiltshire. This
partnership continued for two
and one-half years, when he
purchased Mr.. Francois interest
in the business and successfully
conducted it alone. In 1886 he
erected the brick building at
Washington and Third streets the
first brick building built facing
Washington Street. The first
floor housed his general store
and the second furnished several

1SS0-19OO PERIOD OF
PROGRESS; BUSINESS
FIRMS LAUNCHED
BY Mrs. C. A. Luscher

The history of Redwood Falls
for the period between 1880 and
1900 may justifiably be called
the ssPeriod of Progress" for
business activities enjoyed a
steady growth, and civic i'm
provements of various kinds
were made which showed that
the people of the community had
faith in the rich farming country
which surrounded the town.
In 1880 we find Redwood Falls
an enterprising little village of
approximately 900 population,
and about the only town of any
particular importance within a
radius of 25 miles. The country
tributary was but sparsely set
tied and the community had just
passed through the grasshopper
scourge. Trading was done most
ly with butter and eggs, but the
merchants were blessed with a
good outlet for these commod-
tiles and were therefore able to
pay their customers fairly good
prices, which brought farmers to
this market from a radius of 80

miles around. 1t is reliably stat
ed that at one time, upwards of
10000 pounds of butter were
held in the Easements of two
Redwood Falls merchants.
The principal business inter-
ests of Redwood Falls in 1880
were as follows: James McMil-
Ian and Philbrick and Francois,
general stores; Robert Wilson,
dry goods; w. S. Clayson, cloth
ing; Mckay and Race, Lechner
and Ackman, and William Crow
ley, groceries; d. l.. Hitchcock
and B. O'Hara, drugs; Laird and
Dornberg and E. A. Chandler,
hardware; Bishop Gordon and
j. j. and G. w. Tiffany, agricul-
tural implements; Leibenguth
and Mcconnell, meat market;
George Drake, harness goods;
w. L. Dickinson, Bank of Red
wood Falls, and George w.
Braley, Redwood County Bank;

In writing about this period,
have taken material from Vol. I of
the History of Redwood County,
which was published by H. C..
Cooper, Jr. & Co. Many of the facts
were given him by Julius A.
Schmahl, who always felt keen
interest in preserving the history of
the town for future generations.
L. L. Thompson published an in

biographical sketches and L have
used much of his material in writ

Falls, kindly loaned me his copy of
this book, and 1 am much indebted

The Episcopal church, started
in 1876 was consecrated May IL,
1889 by the Rev. M. N. Gilbert,
assistant Bishop of the diocese,
by the name of the Church of
the Holy Communion. August 4
the mission was organized as the
parish of the Church of the Holy
Communion, with III. d. Bald
win, senior warden; Calvin w.
French as junior warden, S. S.
Goodrich, c. F. Thompson, c. v.
Everett, James Mcmillan, Henry
Ackmann and H. c. Baldwin as
veStry men. Rev. S. v. Purves
was rector until February 1892.
The Christian church of Red
wood Falls was organized in
1876 by Rev. Harrison, with "a
members. st. Johns Evangelical
church was founded in 1898.
Members adopted a constitution
and elected board of elders,
consisting of three men: Louis
Gaedy, August Heurr and Fer
dinand Keil. In 1899 the num-
Der of members had increased
to Is and these took upon them
selves the burden of erecting a
church which they dedicated
October 80, 1899. The first min,
lister of this parish was Rev. H.
Koch, who resided in Redwood
Falls.
City WaterwOrks Started
The history of this period
would be incomplete without
mention of the system of the
water works and sewer. The
| water plant was installed in 1892
and consisted of four miles of
| four, six, eight and ten inch
mains, a water tower with a
capacity of $4,000 gallons, Civ
! ing a gravity pressure of A
pounds; power building 40x8O
in which are installed one Dup
lex non-condensing Gordon
pump, 100000 gallons capacity
and one 80 horse power Spring
field boiler with foundation and
piped for a duplicate set of boil
ers and pumps should necessity
arise for more power. The source
of supply is a number of springs,
the water the most wholesome to
be found anywhere in this part
of the state, as no case of con-
tagious disease has ever been
traced to it.
In 1896 the city secured the
services of G. L. Parkhill, a
practical expert of wide exper-
fence to manage the plant. I'm
der his administration two more
miles of mains were laid.

Churches Enjoy Growth
S Redwood Falls contained at
this time four elevators, three
churches, a fairly good school
building, branch of the u. S..
Land office, with William P.
Huntington, register and Will
liam B. Hurcoff, receiver, and
the county court house.
Much advancement was made
by the churches during this per-
iod. In 1894-95 the Methodist
Episcopal congregation found its
church, which was erected in
1876, too small to accommodate
its growing membership and the
present edifice, valued at $780,
600, was erected and is now
equipped with a pipe organ. A
new parsonage was built in
1888.
The Church of st. Catherine
was built in 1884, frame build
ing 24x40 feet and costing $500.
The lots were donated by Matt
HAS Offermant and Frank
O'Hara. Mass was said in this
little church for the first time in
1885 by Rev. Ogulin, pastor of
the Church of Immaculate Con-
ception of st. Peter. In 1897 Rev.
James Wood was appointed the
first resident pastor and remain
ed until the fall of 1908.
