HISTORY OF VA^AUPACA COUNTY 61 and a "doctor" from Erie County, New York, appeared at Winneconne, AA^innebago County. Two or three weeks before, W. B. and Joseph Hib¬ bard and E. C. Sessions and others had journeyed northward from Plymouth, up Lake Winnebago, crossed AVolf River above Mukwa, and discovered the fine water power and site of AA^aupaca. In June Mr. Ses¬ sions and the Hibbards had surveyed and claimed the original plat. A portion of the party had returned to Plymouth and reported most favor¬ ably on the prospects of To-morrow River Country, as the region was called. Then another expedition, headed by Gen. John Taylor, went in search of the "A'^ermonters' Camp," as the original party was called which had found the site of AVaupaca. Mr. Mumbrue, the surveyor, joined the second colony. With two Indian guides, the men paddled up Wolf River, embarked at Gill's Landing and soon reached the site of Weyauwega. They also found the camp pitched by Simon C. Dow and J. W. Chandler, in the town of Lind. There they "met up" with AA^. B. Hibbard, who had come down from the "Vermonters' Camp" for some flour and returned with him to the future county seat. That which greeted them, upon their arrival at their destination, was an awning of bushes supported by four poles. Before the close of the season of 1849 quite a number of other settle¬ ments were made in the southern part of the county. Messrs. Billington, Tibbetts and Van Ostrand had settled near Weyauwega; S. C. Dow, Col. J. W. Chandler and J. M. Vaughn, between AVeyauwega and Wau¬ paca (called the Chandler settlement) ; E. C. Sessions, J. and W. B. Hibbard, Dana Dewey, Captain Scott, Judge Ware and W. B. Cooper, at Waupaca; Columbus Caldwell and Jason Rice, on the Walla Walla, at Lind Center; J. G. Nordman, at or near New London; R. Eastman, at Springer's Point, and Charles Edwards, at Little River. AVeyauwega and the Chandler Settlement In 1848 Henry Tourtelotte, Amos Dodge and M. Lewis had made '' camp'' on the present site of AV^eyauwega. In the spring of 1849 Simon C. Dow and Col. John AV. Chandler settled in the Town of Lind, section 1. Mr. Dow built the first log house there. In the fall Tyler Caldwell, Capt. C. C. Caldwell, George AV. Taggart, Alonzo Vaughn and others joined them, and the Chandler settlement commenced to be. In June, 1851, Mrs. Susan Chandler opened the first school in the county.
