HISTORY OF WAUPACA COUNTY
natural deposits of granite are rich both in quantity and quality, and thus far two productive quarries have been opened. Much of the land, also, which has been stripped of its timber and which appeared to Mr. Leuthold, twenty-five years ago, as being neglected by AVisconsin husbandmen for more distant, but no better tracts, is being reclaimed from the "stumpage" class and being brought into the market. When thus made ready for the plow, the soil is strong and fertile.
The village has a population of about 300 people, a good school at¬ tended by 100 pupils, three churches, several stores and a sawmill.
Developing a Farm in Wyoming Township
Wyoming was set off from Helvetia as an independent township at the annual meeting of the county board held in November, 1890.
The last officers of the town board previous to the separation were: Chairman, E. G. Dahlen; supervisors, G. Gugarren and A. Rasmussen; treasurer, W. Leuthold; clerk, Jacob Schwartzenbach; assessor, Andrew Jensen; justices of the peace, A. AV. Whitcomh and Christian Jacobson.
Iola and Harrison
Iola and Harrison are the northwest townships of the county, Iola being the only village in that long stretch of country. The original Iola Township of 1855 was split in two when Helvetia was set off in 1860, and it was reduced to its present area when Harrison was formed by the county board in November, 1890.
