300 HISTORY OF WAUPACA COUNTY continue among the people to whom he never failed to offer a helping hand." Chet Bennett died July 9, 1909, and his son, George Victor, men¬ tioned as the first white child born at Clintonville, now lives near Spirit Lake, Idaho. Captain Welcome Hyde The activities and influence of Welcome Hyde, who first thoroughly explored the Embarrass River, with all its tributaries, in what are now Outagamie and Waupaca counties, were eventually chiefly concerned with the progress of Appleton. As stated, it was at his suggestion that the Clintons selected their claim and located where they did, and he was a frequent visitor to the settlement which afterward developed into the sterling village and city. D. M. Hyde, the younger of the captain's two sons, was in the real estate business with his father until shortly before the latter's death in 1902. P. M. Hyde, the older son, lives in Clinton¬ ville. Captain Hyde was a native of Vermont, his parents being Connecticut people of aristocratic and scholarly English stock. Sir Edward Hyde was famous as a statesman and historian, and his daughter, Ann Hyde, became the wife of the Duke of York, afterward King James II. Eli Hyde, the father of Welcome, moved from Vermont to Northern Ohio when his son was ten years old. He settled about forty miles southeast of Cleveland, and Welcome was educated in the district schools of that locality, as well as in the Rock River Seminary at Mount Morris, Illinois. Soon after leaving that institution he associated himself with a gentleman of means who supplied him wdth money for the purchase of cattle in the southern part of Illinois, which he drove through to Wisconsin to stock the new farms of that state then being fast brought under cultivation. This business he followed for several years which gave him ample oppor¬ tunity to become familiar with the resources and prospects of the greater part of Wisconsin. Having determined to settle in that state and engage in the lumber and farm business, in the fall of 1850 he explored the wild and unsur- veyed woods tributary to the Embarrass River and located a logging camp for cutting pine timber on what was then called the Indian lands, and which has since proved to be on section 8, township 24, range 15 east, in Outagamie County. He was five days with a crew of eight men cutting out his supply road from the mouth of the Embarrass (now New London) to his logging camp, a distance of about twenty miles; and his team was the first driven north of New London. He was guided in laying
