"I'm Making Every Effort to Preserve" DOROTHY LEAKE'S LOVE FOR THE OZARKS
EXCERPT:
"I think I'm fortunate to have my retirement here. I like to do lots of things outdoors," said the spry eighty-six years young doctor of freshwater biology, Dorothy V. Leake. Dr. Leake, being very interested in conserving and preserving the flora and fauna of the Ozarks, has been interested in many projects since her retirement in 1959. Probably most important to her is her efforts to slow down some of the detrimental ecological changes she sees occurring all over the Ozarks. "One of the changes going on I'm actively involved in is preserving the wildlife which would all be gone from here--the fish all gone from the stream and the animals would be gone. All the things that grow here would be killed. I have 'coons and 'possums come up to the back door and eat whatever I put out for them at night. People don't pay very much attention to the environment as much as they talk about it. They don't really try to preserve it." Dr. Leake lives on a wooded acreage devoted to conservation. Since their retirement, she and her husband have established a freshwater biology station with their chief goal being to research the wildlife while it is still there and preserve as much as possible all aspects of Crane Creek and its adjacent areas. Since her husband's death in 1978, she has continued this work alone. "I haven't time to get lonely,'' she said, "I'm busy all the time. Of course, I'm lonely for my husband. He was a great companion. We did everything together." Crane Creek, a tributary of the James River, runs through her property, giving her a natural laboratory right beside her house where she can do her research. "The creek rises at the railroad at the corner of our place. Years ago they made an embankment for the railroad by shooting off the face of the bluff. The spring which had come out at the base of the bluff managed to penetrate the embankment and is still the head of Crane Creek. "Streams like this one are all diminishing in size. They're becoming polluted and not as useful as they once were. So, I had the idea of doing research here. I have done all the biological research that has been done here and published some papers, but there is a lot of work that could still be done. With so many members of the animal and plant kingdoms, it is an inexhaustible study which I think ought to be recorded before the stream deteriorates as it's bound to do in this day and age. "Above and beyond that I enjoy living here very much. I have never lived anywhere I liked as much as I like the Ozarks. I think it's a special section of the country that's ideal."
A VISIT WITH DOROTHY LEAKE
I was born in Columbus Junction, Iowa, in 1893. That's a town close to the Mississippi River in a wooded area where there were lots of these pretty spring flowers everyone loves so much. I got my first experience with nature there. At the turn of the century, when I was seven years old, my father, who was a lawyer, moved his family from the hills, streams and woods of southeastern Iowa to the prairies and granite mountains of the southwest corner of Oklahoma. The country was quite different there. We lived in a town called Granite. It was called this because it was at the end of the Wichita range which is just piles of red granite rising right up out of the prairie with no foothills at all. Of course, there was a lot of vegetation all over between the rocks, but the rocks were the most prominent things about the mountains. We lived halfway up one of the mountains which was only about 800 feet high. There was a spring on a level place at the middle of the mountain, and we had two houses we lived in. In one house we had the living room and bedrooms, and in the other house we had a kitchen, dining room and storeroom. They must have been a hundred feet apart, so we had to run from one place to the other. Since there were pretty little clear streams that ran down the mountains, it was a great place to study nature. The game hadn't been shot out of the country as it has now. There were lots of different kinds of western type animals like lizards and snakes that lived on the mountains. Lots of rabbits, too. When I went to college in Springfield at Drury College, in 1910, the country in the Ozarks was so much like the country in Iowa I had liked a great deal that I really felt at home here, more so than in arid Oklahoma. I liked the climate and wildlife so much better. I had a chance to study biology in school, developed in that line still more and took my bachelor's degree and the year after that my master's degree. That was 1914 and 1915. Then after a period of teaching years, a college romance resulted in marriage in 1919 to Harold Henderson Leake, a teacher of piano and voice. Our first seven years of married life were spent on this place where I now live. When our daughter was born, my father came up from western Oklahoma to see his new grandchild, and he was so taken with the water and the trees and all the wildlife, he decided he'd just get out and buy a place while he was up here. He was a lawyer, and he wanted to move his other son-in-law up here to start a practice. My husband and I knew about this place and had been here and sat on that ledge of rock down there at the corner and wished that we could live in a place like this. We directed him to this place, and he fell in love with it, too, and bought it. Then he couldn't persuade his other son-in-law to come up here at all because he liked the prairies better. So he asked us if we would come down here to live, which we did. Our daughter, Marcelotte, and son, Benjamin, were born here where the family enjoyed the country life. We supplemented the music teaching income with general farming--we had a garden, pigs, chickens and cows. This was our first experience with farming, either one of us. We just fell right into it, loved it, but we couldn't make a living at it. The children had a Shetland pony, although she was definitely not a producer of anything but amusement. I taught my daughter by the Calvert school method so much used at that time by foreign missionary parents. When she was ready for the third grade, we moved to Aurora and I conducted a kindergarten with my five year old son as one of the "kinders." Next year came the chance to teach in the newly organized Junior College at Monett. Mr. Leake was head of the music department and I head of the science department. There was a time in the late 20's when they organized junior colleges in this area. This school has since closed. They didn't keep it up more than fifteen years, I think. Henderson Leake was involved in several vocations, including teaching music, broadcasting and preaching. After five years of this pleasant work we were offered attractive positions in Oklahoma. Mr. Leake became director of Educational Radio at the university of Oklahoma at Norman, and later at Oklahoma State University at Stillwater. I taught botany at both these schools. I was fifty years old when I took my doctorate degree at the University of
Oklahoma in '44, taking my degree at the same time my son took his bachelor's degree. They weren't so particular then about how old you were, but I believe you had to do more work then than you do now. After acquiring the doctoral degree, I became head of the biology department of Southeastern State university at Durant. We built this house in '51. The house on the hill my grandchildren live in is the house that was on the place when we moved here. We lived in it seven years. My husband was for many years the director of Educational Radio at the University of Oklahoma and at Stillwater State University. He was at both those schools, as I was. His radio name was Henderson Leake because Henderson sounded better than Harold in broadcasting. He had a commercial program with KWTO [Springfield, Missouri] for almost three years. They called it "Between the Windows." He wrote his broadcast between the windows in the living room here. He did this for Producers' Creamery. It was a program of general events, historical matters, weather and nature things. He described, for instance, what he saw out the window. He could see what was going on in the creek and something goes on every day that's interesting. The kingfishers were flying up and down the creek or the muskrats were swimming around. When retirement time came, my versatile husband became a priest of the Episcopal Church, working mostly in the churches of northern Arkansas. We had four trips abroad. The first was to Canterbury, England, where we attended a summer session of theology lectures at St. Augustine's College. The
second was to attend the performances of Wagner's Four Ring Operas at Bayreuth, after which we toured Europe in a VW camper bus-- especially visiting the cathedrals of England. The third trip was to spend fall and winter in the Thomas Hardy, Jane Austen (and the modern John Fowles) country of Dorset. The fourth trip was when my husband exchanged pulpits with an Anglican priest for three summer months. Mr. Sims of Haxey, Lincolnshire, England, came to my husband's church in Idabel, Oklahoma, while my husband had charge of St. Nicholas' church at Haxey. All these years since we left the farm for teaching positions, the homing instinct has brought us back as often as possible. In 1951 we built our retirement home and prepared to carry on our conservation and research activities here. The place is a natural for such work. It is an old grist mill site on the headwaters of Crane Creek. The Wissman Mill was not in use when we had come here in the 20's but was still standing until the 1940's. Crane Creek is very rich in all kinds of plant and animal life, so rich that it would take years to study it completely. It's one of the few streams left in the Ozarks that is not badly polluted. There are so many streams being polluted by town sewage and dump places that plants and animals cannot live in them. We have offered the use of the station to the schools of the area interested in doing biological research here. The professors are younger than I am and they can get out and do the field work better than I can now. So I'm going to kind of turn it over to them. I'm expecting them to do some work. My own research has
been on the ecology, physiology and taxonomy of algae. We call our acres on the creek The Freshwater Biology Station. It is also a wildlife refuge, teeming with all sorts of flora and fauna. There are plants of great variety and beauty. Some of the animals are ground hogs, muskrats, chipmunks, many kinds of mice, skunks, 'coons, squirrels and beavers. More than a hundred species of birds have been recorded at the station. Many kinds of fish live in the stream, trout, bass, perch and pickerel, and there are other aquatic vertebrates and innumerable invertebrates. Our aim is to preserve the station in as natural a state as possible, and to protect it from the destructive impact of so-called civilization. We want it to be useful to researchers and helpful to groups like the girl scouts and the biology classes in the schools of the surrounding towns. What my ambition is with respect to my research is to have a record of this kind of clear creek, which is getting rare in Missouri. Because I feel it is impossible for things not to change, as change is a rule of life, my work will be to make some record of what it was like, a history of it, as it goes ahead with these changes that are inevitable. Another motive I have is to make the place as useful as possible to people, not just to sit here and live as a selfish individual, but to share it with people and have them learn about it and enjoy it, too.

Thomas came to this country in 1818. After he married Elizabeth, about the first thing he did was buy a house and a few acres of land. The fact that the house was log did not matter, the five oldest children were born there. The thing of interest is he bought a home, and in September 1834 he lost it all because of a tannery venture. He gathered up all he had and made the trek to Mecca OH where he at once bought a home only to sell it in 1837 when he moved to Wethersfield (Niles). Here again a home was purchased and later after a year spent on the Gill Farm, the old farm was bought and the family moved on it in 1839, final payment and deed given in 1842. Born to them were:

Peter Sackett and Esther Palmer were playmates, schoolmates and lovers. The relation existing between the other members of the two families was that of mutual respect and cordial friendship. Peter Sackett was four years older than Esther (Conflict!), and to all appearance a bright and prosperous future awaited them. But the War of Revolution came. The Palmers remained loyal to King George. The Sacketts espoused the Patroit cause and all was changed. Peter Sackett joined one of the first Continental companies organized on the banks of the Hudson and was soon marching in General Montgomery’s command, which was dispatched to strike a timely blow at the British forces in Canada.

Newton had meantime been captured and was being held by the British. In November 1776, the New York troops were re-organized and Lieutenant Colonel Henry B. Livingston was commissioned Colonel and Sergeant Major Peter Sackett, Adjutant of the 4th Regiment of the Continental Line. Peter left the service in 1779 and he and Esther were married.

From Milton Ferris Reunion text written by Charles W. Ferris 1934
"It was thought best for lack of time in this historical sketch not to go farther into detail of more than the first and second generation. Although much might be written of the third and fourth generation, now much in evidence, I am making one exception because of outstanding achievement by one of the great grand-children, Charlotte Belknap Reynolds, daughter of Giles and Lula Belknap, who has for many years been a missionary in China, and the letter from which I quote becomes a part of this sketch as follows: "Charlotte and Paul Reynolds went out under the American Board in 1921 to Fenchow (Pronounced fun-jo) China. They will soon be closing their second term and are to return for a third term. Charlotte has helped in very many ways in the mission work, has taught Domestic Science and written a textbook on that subject in Chinese. She manages the music program for church and schools, and has a school in her own home for her own children and some of the children of the other missionaries. Dr. Paul Reynolds is Assistant to the Chinese Principal of the Ming I School (a large school for Chinese boys and girls of High School age), all Chinese schools, now by law having native Principals. ' "Paul is also Director of a large Civic Center work which last year celebrated its tenth anniversary, and at that time was taken over by the national Y.M.C.A. He was elected head of the Religious Educational Work of all north China. Charlotte and Paul have three children. They plan to come home in 1935 for their second furlough."

(2.1.3.3.1.1.2.5.1.1.4) MARGARET KNOWLTON BELKNAP born October 19, 1897 Cook Co IL and died August 1983 Berea KY; married John Milton Allen [son of William Ervin & Catherine Alice (Benner) Allen] born July 23, 1896 Byron Township, Kent MI and died November 1937.
Margaret Belknap Allen, in her early years, moved into the world of music in a natural creative way. Previous to any professional training, at the age of five, she was improvising on the piano, intuitively expressing four part harmony, and rounding out the tonal meanderings with a certain amount of phrase form. Fortunately her first teacher, the then noted Mrs. Crosby Adams of Chicago, was a pioneer in the imaginative and creative approach to music training. This, of course, nurtured the child’s inherent urge, so that soon after her lessons began she startled her father (sitting next to her in church) by singing the harmonic structure of the hymns rather than the words. “Quiet now” he would whisper. Later, at the age of ten, she organized a club in Oak Park, where she lived, teaching her interested peers to improvise. Oberlin College and the University of Wisconsin left their strengthening stamp upon her: but she was always haunted by the wonderment of “why music moved as it did?” “what was the inner necessity that made the rules of music effective?” The casual answers never seemed to satisfy her. While she was teaching Interpretive Dance and Drama in Evanston, she met Martha Russell and became acquainted with the Creative Motion principle with its necessity of involving the whole self in order to experience the needs of the music. At last dance, drama, rhythm, melody and harmony all moved together in a wholeness of expression. After marrying John Milton Allen they moved to Scarsdale, New York. Here she taught in her private studio for sixteen years, inspiring the students to hear inside that which the music actually wanted them to hear on the outside. The response and the results justified the approach. Following the death of her husband, and after her daughter and son had left home for their further education, she chose to transplant herself to a college campus where the student’s background was different from those of Westchester, Berea College invited her to teach in the Music Department where she has taught for twenty five years, interrupted only in order to get her Master’s degree at Stanford University. She eventually became professor of Humanities and Piano, but it was always the Creative Motion principle that guided her teaching. As a little Scarsdale boy once said to her: “I hope you never die” she realized that those who truly experience Creative Motion gain something “which makes all of the difference” not only to their music, but to their selfhood. Margaret donated a Holtkamp Organ to the Berea College’s music department. Born to them were:

FERRIS born July 3, 1853 Milton WI and died May 24, 1913 Long Beach CA; (she is on the family stone at North Johnstown Cemetery, Milton WI); married 1876 in Milton, Charles M. Gates born February 19, 1855 Clinton Junction WI and died June 22, 1915. Mary was educated at Milton College where she met Charles. Charles is known as the President and one of three founder of the Creamery Package, and later Creamery Packing Manufacturing Company – the leading dairy equipment manufacturer and supplier in the US, based primarily in the Midwest but with offices from the west coast to the east coast and England as well. Charles was educated at Milton College, BA 1876, MA 1879. It was several years after they were married that Mary’s extensive number of brothers and sisters and brother-in-laws were integral in the formation of the company and its continuation until after WWII. Charles originally taught school in Wyoming, Minnesota; Waupaca and Berlin WI; operated a lumber yard at Clinton Junction WI; he was going into the egg-packing business with his brother-in-law, William Lewis Ferris, when Charles came up with the brain storm of establishing the butter tub manufacturing business in 1883. The Creamery Package Manufacturing Co emerged from that start in 1887.
(2.1.3.3.1.1.2.5.6) WILLIAM LEWIS FERRIS (Will) born September 5, 1856 Johnstown, Rock, WI and died March 14, 1910 Portland, Jay, IN; married June 30, 1885 in Hornellsville NY, Carrie Minerva Hakes [dau of Harlo & Mary (Chandler) Hakes] born August 23, 1859 Hornellsville/Hornell, Steuben, NY and died September 22, 1947 Lakewood OH; both buried Green Park Cemetery, Portland IN. William was a good writer of poetry and letter. He had a smooth way with words; especially with his girlfriends and wife Carrie. He met Carrie when he was a student at Milton College and she was a music instructor there, he was taking vocal lessons from her. When he was lonely he wrote beautiful letters to Carrie before and after they were married. He was an excellent singer, loved to recite Shakespeare even in later years when, much to the embarrassment of his children, would come to school and give recitations. He loved to play baseball, he caught with no glove and as a result injuried his fingertips and had to stop earlier than he wished to, so he switched to pitching. Later, he bought the town team of Portland their uniforms on the condition that they not play baseball on Sundays. Will had a thriving egg-packing business in Milton WI. During that time, fresh eggs were not readily available during the harsh Midwestern winters. ‘Ferris bought eggs from the farmers when eggs were plentiful and cheap, pickled them in brine to be marketed in the fall and winter, when supply and demand conditions were reversed.’ The egg business was to be expanded by a branch in the Peoria IL area by his brother-in-law Charles M. Gates. Enroute to select a site, Gates met up with Mr. Matt Corcoran and Gates had the brainstorm for the beginnings of the Creamery Package Manufacturing Company (CPMC). On January 12, 1883, an Illinois charter was granted to Charles M. Gates, William L. Ferris, Hiram J. Ferris, and Edward Kimball for the Creamer Package Company and that place of business was White Rock IL. Will is credited with naming the company. The object was ‘The manufacturer and sale of butter tubs, cheese boxes, and cooperage.’ One of the original founders of the CPMC, he was Secretary and Superintendent of the Rock Falls IL plant by 1884. The company sold wholesale supplies to creameries and stores, things like testing equipment and dairy cooperage supplies. Will later headed up the Portland IN branch, 1891 until he retired early in 1910. Butter tubs were manufactured for several years even after his early death in 1910 (Cerebral Hemorrhage). Some of his sons worked at that plant part time as well. The business remained in the hands of various family members until after WWII. The plant still exists today (2004) in Portland on the corner of Ash Street and the railroad. It is now an O Cedar broom manufacturing plant. William seemed to have caught the bug of the early automobile. He had a personal connection with Elwood Haynes of the Haynes Automobile fame in Portland and Kokomo IN. Photos exist that show him in a 1904 Haynes car and he was driving James Whitcomb Riley, the Indiana poet. There is another photo that shows him in front of his Arch Street home with a 1907 Haynes touring car. He would remove the windshields from the cars – ‘because, I don’t want to pay all that money and not feel the wind!’ The home on Arch Street has been refurbished and the current occupant has graciously provided a copy – see photo – thanks to Mike Szakaly; Carrie was an accomplished soloist and pianist. She trained as a concert soloist under William Hall Sherwood at the New England Conservatory of Music. She would later play both the piano and organ for family, community and church functions. Carrie taught vocal music at Fairbough MN Girls School; and Milton College. Before and after William died, she taught piano in Portland IN. Born to them were:
(2.1.3.3.1.1.2.5.6.1) HARLO HAKES FERRIS (Rev) born April 9, 1886 Whitewater WI and died May 1, 1983 Wild Rose, Waushara, WI; married 1st June 18, 1919 in Bombay, India Reubey Statira Ferris (3.1.2.1.11.8.2.2.3); married 2d 1960 in Iowa, Carrie Tate Lieffering born 1886 Portland IN and died 1969 WI. When Harlo and Reubey returned to the US having gotten married without officially meeting Reubey’s parents, they traveled to see Reubey’s mother – Reubey. Upon seeing her new son-in-law for the very first time, she greeted him with the warm welcome of ‘Wipe your feet’ – a foretelling greeting of the times to come. Harlo worked in the Kokomo IN Haynes auto plant, a wood-working factory, YMCA overseas as a mission director for the British troops during and after WWI, Congregational minister. He lived in various parts of the US and overseas: Whitewater WI, Milton WI; Portland IN, Malta MT (owned a motorcycle there to go from parish to parish); Lake Geneva WI; California (Pomona) and Ohio (Oberlin) for college work; Bombay and Kashmir Province, India; Church parishes in WI – Walworth, Rio, Hartford, Baraboo, Boscobel, Hancock, Wild Rose, Sauk City and Rockford MI. Both Harlo and Reubey buried Hancock Cemetery, Hancock, Waushara, WI (Photo)
"Harlo Hakes Ferris - December 18, 1969"
Here begins something the end of which time only will tell - the story of my life - the remembered past, that which has been glued to my memory and which I think had value or at least durability. Carefully reviewed it might be tiresome long; prudently pruned someone might patiently peruse the effort. Here goes!
To set the picture in time ancestry should enter quietly from the right or left wings - Here come a solemn figure even now...Listen.
The Mother's side of the picture is called HAKES - Hakes were mainly of English stock (with a Hakes genealogical book I will add more in time. The name HAKES, evidently refers to the hake fish so presumably in the earliest days there was some connection of people with fishes. These people evidently settled early in New England, originally farmers; in my mother's day many of them were lawyers and judges - I have run across them in Montana and Wisconsin, altho the name is not very common.
FERRIS - is evidently an English name altho that name may be a corruption of some other. If I find out later, I will add a not to this effect. It would seem that the people first bearing that name had something to do with iron- perhaps they were iron workers of some sort.
The Ferris from which this humble subject came arrived in Wisconsin, Milton to be exact about 150 years ago - early history of this will be added later- William Peck Ferris, the patriarch came to Milton by way of Chicago and Milwaukee by canal and wagon. There he married .... Janes, related to the founders of Janesville. This family had..... children, Molly, Ellen, Bessie, Will, Charles, Charlotte, Hiram and ..... As they grew up and married they gravitated into salesmen, clergymen, professors, doctors, missionaries, but mainly business mangers - no farmers.
William Peck Ferris was much interested in education - a member of Milton School Board and I understand the man who planted the trees on the school yard. His eight children all went to Milton College, a Seventh Day Baptist College, then as now an excellent institution.
William Lewis Ferris on of these sons was my father, living on to 1909, when he died in Portland, Indiana - My mother was Carrie Minerva Hakes, who came to Milton College as a supply [?] music instructor. She was a talented, vivacious out going, young lady with a large retinue of admiring young men, whom she did not rebuff. Eventually she settled on this Will Ferris and they were married at the Congregational church in Milton Wisconsin.
My father and his cousin Bert Walker set themselves in business in an egg packing concern right in Milton. Along about that same time other brothers and brother-in-laws were gravitating towards the business and manufacturing world and in time organized the Creamery Package Manufacturing Co. which became a huge company, a leader in this line of manufacturing. Aside from a few years on a farm, my father was connected with this firm as plant manager and superintendent all of his life.
However, after his marriage he bought a farm near Whitewater and lived there for several years. I born there on April 9, 1886 and lived there for several years, I do not know how many. I remember absolutely nothing about life there altho I know that my mother, brought up in small city swirls[?] and social contacts was far from at ease in the rugged life of an early Wisconsin farm.
In about my fourth, fifth year, I do know that I was sent back to be with my Hakes grandparents in Hornellsville, NY. From there on my memories came into being and I had many delightful times [there] on Elm Street. In 1968, seventy two year I returned, and ?strange? to [say?] identified the old red brick house immediately.
My grandfather, Judge Harlo Hakes, after whom I was named was an important man in the community and his home was a social center. I remember the faces of many people, my aunt Evelyn Brown, my cousins the Dennis Family, who grew up to be very distinguished people [grandchildren of Judge Harlo Hakes' sister Minerva Hakes Bennet, her daughter Florence's]. I remember the kindergarten in a first [?] home and the 1st grade in the public school. I remember walking trips with my grandfather into the hills. I remember a fire close to our house and many and many small incidents. I still can see them clearly.
My father at about that time was superintendent of small manufacturing plants of CPMfgCo at Mason City Iowa and Morrison Illinois and strange to say I can remember not a single incident from either town. In 1892 we moved to Portland Indiana and there I lived until 1903 and my family for 6 years more. [1910] In Portland we lived in four different houses, each time moving up the social scale until we finished with one of the nicest homes in the city of 6,000 people. We were of the Presbyterian faith then altho my father was originally Congregationalist and my mother an Episcopalian.
My father was 6 ft in height, a strong, powerful man, who played first base and pitched without a glove. He loved the game and went so far as to give the town team its uniforms on condition that they would not play ball on Sunday. He had a delightful tenor voice and sang duets with my mother who had been, in her city days, a soloist of note in Boston.
Neither parent joined the Presbyterian church [located just down the street at the end of the next block] but we four children, Harlo, Paul, Harry and Margaret, took part in all of the church activities.
My father was superintendent of the CPMfgCo plant in Portland, which made butter tubs, about 1000 a day. There were 75-100 men at work with the various machines. The tubs were shipped by railroad to various butter and lard producers in the midwest.
On Holidays and vacations we three boys, after we were 10 years of age worked in the factory. Paul usually in the warehouse, I at one of the various machines. Harry driving a horse or a truck. Our father showed no favoritism and we were treated just as the other men were. In fact I remember being called upon to work in the center section with 8 small furnaces when the weather was terrific and no man would work there. I fired a boiler for a week in burning Indiana heat when men wilted under the heat. I remember well, I'm sorry to say a foreman of mine who took great delight in telling me the most vile stories imaginable, some of which remain in the back of my brain to this time.
We kept a cow, sometimes two, a horse, and a flock of white leghorn chickens. Paul went to the pasture for the cow, Harry milked her and I peddled milk at five cents the quart. Our horse was usually an ex-race horse and only our father drove him.
In the church we were among those who did things. Mother at the organ, father directing the choir, and I for quite a while back of the curtain pumping the organ. We put on an Old Folks Concert at one time, and I with Carrie Tate, sang a Duett "Dost thou love me Sister Ruth" I detested the whole performance. Fifty eight years later I married her, my second wife.
Our mother gave piano lessons and we were hush! hush! when lessons were being given.
Ours was a great house for sociability and my mother was an admirable creature at party planning. A feature of each social occasion was Peas Porridge Host with music played.[?] She had invited people of all ages and social strata and maintained that this many times was the cause of its success.
Ringling Circus came to our Town yearly and the tents were just a short ways from our house. We boys were there from the beginning to the end and then we walked around where there bleachers had been and picked up change from slippery pants pockets. [Coincidentally, later ,he and his family lived in Baraboo Wisconsin, home to Ringling Bros.]
We had the second automobile in town - a 1907 white Haynes-Apperson with red leather and top. [see attached photo and add] Stories about that car could fill several pages. It was the law that when a man in a horse drawn rig held up his hand the automobile had to stop and then we boys in town, went up to lead the horse past. Tires were a major factor and a puncture every 10 miles was not uncommon. Before the car was delivered I spent a month at the factory in Kokomo Indiana helping putting cars together. I can't see that this was really of much value.
School years I will go over quickly for there is little of memorable delights there. We walked about 1/2 a mile to school and then back after dinner. My father was a Shakespearean admirer and I was always secretly ashamed when he gave readings from this dramatist before the High School students.
There were no football teams, nor basket nor baseball teams then altho there was a track team that did well. The runners in their so called underwear bothered some of the women folk, as I remember.
Graduation was just like it was an still is and we finished with delight.
My particular friends were of all sorts. Ralph Raferty Rainy was a sort of a ruffian who was a great book reader. Later he finished life as a hobo. Don Hall was our neighbor, shrewd, likeable. Married a pretty girl and became manager of a local factory. Milo Jordan, a quiet red head return to the farm and was still living in 1968. In 1968, Carrie, my second wife also of my class of 1903 returning to a class reunion found about a quarter of the graduates still living.
Like many boys I was quite bashful in the presence of girls and made no pretext of having one specially for my own possession but there are a few names that linger on- Emma Emerson lived a block from us. I kissed her once In a game of Post Office. Cecil Close was dark skinned and we wrote many notes to each other. Maude Spade was much too short but I liked her a bit. In 1969 she lived in Washington, DC. Others were on the outside.
After we boys had worked for much of the summer we usually went to Bay View Michigan where we had a few weeks of lakeside vacation. Strange to say perhaps fifty years later I found out that my future wife Reubey Ferris must have been summering near at about the same time as we.
My mother was a delightful creature, vivacious, out going, and a good mother and wife. She possessed a sort of sense of superiority over our common neighbors and with many friends yet had no very close friends. After my father's death in 1910 she lived at various times in Oberlin Ohio, Waukesha Wisconsin, and Lakewood Ohio where she died at the home of my sister [Margaret Ferris Fletcher.]
Now comes a section of time from 1903 to 1906 - College years. Supposed to be years of great delight and I failed then to get great thrills and now looking back have no great stirrings of joyousness, altho individual events still bring happy memories.
In the fall of 1903 with my brother Paul, I went to Oberlin College in Ohio. I as a Freshman and he as a preparatory student in the academy [this is why we don't see Paul in the Portland year book where his Sr. class should be. MEFLG] We went there because of the fact that a relative on the Hakes side, Professor Coles [?] had once been on the faculty there. Interestingly enough, over the years other relatives of ours followed suit. Until there must have been as many as 20 or 25 of us, Ferris, Kimball, Walker, Anderson, and Belknaps they were but all with Ferris blood if not always name.
There at Oberlin College I spent 3 school years without any special ambition expect to get a degree and graduate. College years were 5 in all instead of the customary four because I took work in music which gave me no credit but perhaps with more delight and inner profit than certain per scribed courses.
I might add here that I spent but three years at Oberlin College and finished with two years later in Pommona College. In Oberlin we, Paul and I, lived with a delightful widow and ate at a boarding house, where college girls lived and ate as well. Most of our social life gravitated about this boarding house where besides just plain eating were parties and social events, flirtations and courting. I had also my lady love there, named Inez Shakes. Both of us were untrained in courtships ways and made little or no progress in this delightful art.
Class work was prescribed and elective; some of which I enjoyed and some was sheer boredom; one Trigonometry I flunked but under a different professor found that it was indeed easy. My favorite courses was one on Shakespeare and another on Italian History made memorable by the fact that the professors were both capable and enthusiastic.
School social events in those days were not much different I suspect, then those of present days. Dances and proms and parties; skating parties in the winter and out of door picnics in the short warm spell that school life offered. Social life not being prescribed but freely of choice perhaps had as much bearing on our future life and conduct as much that serious minded educators considered essential. The fact that there were no automobiles or practically none in those days changes the picture greatly.
Athletically I did nothing more that two course of physical training, altho I did play tennis often. I had a part in our play Ralph Roiste Dorsty [?] a play from about Shakespearean times a very minor part. I being the not so bright son (perhaps fitting my personality) there was one [?]side more than another of College life that attracted and interested me most I suppose that it was in music in its various forms. Oberlin has always had a great love for music both in its conservatory and its college life as well. I missed few musical attractions, student recitals, oratorios, orchestra concerts, everything in which was music - Always I stayed to the end of the organ recessional and took great delight in Dr. Andrews organ improvisations. For myself over the years I have tried my hands with piano, cello, bass viol. french horn, singing and now (1970) with the little recorder - In none have I accomplished much but have had much pleasure in each as they have arrived.
Many people of future prominence were in Oberlin during my years there. I might mention in passing that HH Kung [?] later to become the treasurer of China. Percy Ebbot, president of the largest bank in New York City; Anna Louise Strong, leader of American Communists and later living in China. Amos and Thorton Wilder, writer and theologians, ...later on the cabinet of Woodrow Wilson, Martin Davey, later governor of Ohio.

Notes for CARRIE TATE LIEFFERING:
Harlo and Carrie were high school friends in Portland, Indiana. They actually sang together at the high school. They met up again many years after Grandma Reubey had passed away, as well as Carrie's husband, at a school reunion. They were married in 1960 in Iowa and lived in Michigan where Grandpa had a ministry at Rockford, for a number of years. After he retired for good, Grandpa and Carrie lived at the PL with very primitive conditions (no indoor plumbing or running drinking water). Both of them loved the birds there and both wrote lots of poetry together. Carrie had children with her husband previously, names not recalled at this time.

January 20, 2007, Pilgrim United Church of Christ, Grafton WI – Eulogy by James Litton to his Grandpa, James T. Ferris
My Grandfather might have been many things to many people. Father, brother, husband, friend, engineer, soldier, mentor, photographer, artist, boxer, investor, deacon, and inventor. He was the model family man and citizen. But, as a young person growing up, I would have had a hard time describing him as any of these things. To me (pause), he was the dreamer, the “doer” and above all else, the story teller. PBS, Sesame Street, and Mr. Rogers had nothing on my Grandfather’s ability to capture my attention as an adolescent. He and I logged in countless hours at each of his many workshops, usually talking more than working. He spoke with a slow grace, matched only by the likes of James Earl Jones. Watching my facial expressions change with each twist and turn of his tales, he lit a match under my imagination every lazy afternoon we spent together.
My Grandfather the dreamer loved the idea of flying. At the breakfast table in Lexington, he would listen to my early morning rants about transformers, monsters and baseball. I would ask, “What do you dream about Grandpa?” With ease, he would say, “flying… Soaring with the birds. My arms spread out and I danced on the treetops.” This went on for several years. I would have nightmares and he would recount his latest dream of flying. Finally, one day I decided to ask, “if you like flying so much, how come you always drive to the PL every year?” He and Grandma laughed and I joined in. I didn’t know why it was funny; I just thought it would have been faster.
I should clarify one point regarding my Grandfather’s dreaming. His dreams of flying were confined to sleeping and napping. While, during the day, we were all free to observe his dreams come to life. My wife often wonders where I get my tendency to come up with some lovable, yet hair brained schemes. Well, I have to attribute this one to you Grandpa. This is the man who planned to create a poison ivy killing machine so that we could all be rid of that three leaved devil. He had an old lawnmower that looked more like a Mid-evil torture device rather than something used for lawn-care. He and I sat over plans for months until we decided to cut the machine up with a hacksaw and mailed it to the PL. We agreed that we would need to spend at least a summer perfecting the “P.I. Dragon.” I don’t think it ever got out of the box once it arrived in Wisconsin, but the dream certainly stayed alive. This was not the first nor the last time my Grandfather and I would let our imaginations get the better of us. There was the time our neighbors put their broken down swimming pool ladder in the trash. To some this might have been just another piece of junk. To Grandpa and I, this was just the excuse we needed to spend countless hours with our favorite hardware man and Time Life home repair books. You should have seen the look on my Grandmother’s and Mother’s faces. It was the proverbial, “Here we go again!” Models of Huck Finn and Tom Sawyer, we allowed one another’s logic to leap frog reality. “Hey look at that!” he exclaimed as we turned the corner. “Yeah!” I exclaimed, not yet knowing what we would do with it. “Well, you can’t have a pool without a ladder!” Truer words could not have been said to my nine year old ears. And within half an hour we were in the backyard, planning, scheming, and giggling with joy as we gazed at our newest project. At dinner, Grandpa told Grandma and Mom our plans to use fine cuts of redwood and cedar to fix the plastic and metal pool ladder. Mom choked a little on her “Wendy stew,” trying to hold down her laughter as much as possible. Grandma, staring into what was going to be our latest summer debacle, said, “I’d rather you just build a wooden space ship and get it all over with.” I am sure with all these adventures into the impossible my Grandfather’s goal was never to add to his list of numerous patents or to relive his days at Bausch and Lomb. He wanted to foster the life of another dreamer. He wanted to see someone else touch the stars and lives of others, an art he redefined everyday.
John Tomlinson Ferris “the Doer” was not the accomplished professional this title might seemingly describe. He was most certainly accomplished in every professional task he undertook, but “the Doer” was one who paid attention to little things. As a child I watched with great impatience as my Grandfather fixed a wooden airplane my Uncle made when he was eight; he returned every single shopping cart he ever used to the front of the store; he catalogued his LP record collection numerically, alphabetically and then 'Bettically' (i.e. from most to least important as it related to his love for Grandma… In my heart of hearts I think this was done just to get her to dance when no one else was around.) I did not understand why he took such care with every task. Just as some people watch their checkbooks like hawks, my Grandfather guaranteed that every action he took moved the world towards a better place. Karma is a heavy thing for an adolescent to understand. I was truly lucky to know someone living and loving as if the Golden Rule was something more than just an old playground standard. My most favorite example of this type of behavior was when I was a teenager, living with Grandpa and Grandma in Lexington. I was downstairs, studying for my High School Freshman year final exams, when I heard several voices. One was Grandpa, the other two I had never heard before. I looked out the window… no cars. The voices were younger… hmmm… there was no way my friends had come over. I suddenly got worried. I yelled up the stairs, “you ok up there?!” “Sure thing James,” My Grandfather’s voice exclaimed. “I’m just listening to these Gentlemen’s theory about how Jesus took a little Vacation in North America.” It hit me like a ton of bricks. Grandpa invited two of the local traveling Mormons, on their mission, to come in for tea and conversation. He had no intention of converting, but had no reason turn them away either. Not only was he up for religious conversation, he wanted to extend his hand in friendship to those individuals more accustomed to having doors slammed in their face by the majority of yuppies in the old New England town. I am not sure I would do the same thing if presented with this situation in the future, but I do believe there is something to be learned from his undying kindness and curiosity.
Grandpa the storyteller was most certainly the main event. His top ten hits were known as:
The time Great Grandpa beat up a drunk for cursing Jesus in a barber shop
The Butler farm and all its endless supply of watermelons
The bombing of his bunker in Moriti
The Mighty proposal on Gibraltar Rock
The ins and outs of Radar school and how Private Ferris learned to love Basic training and army cheese
The triumph of Son John in leading creating the Lexington High School wrestling team
The mighty kick of the cat heard round the world AKA Grandma’s first trip to the PL in her early morning slumber, kick the family cat out of the tent.
The “army boxing champ” known as Submarine
Eating Pancakes on the war ship and cheering the appearance of the Golden Gate bridge
And last but not least, my favorite
The ever victorious malleable tales of Cowboy James
Cowboy James was the protagonist in every moral lesson. They usually started with Cattle wrestling, a phrase I tool all too literally until he explained that it was stealing cows. Then they moved into more serious territory. My Grandfather had just gotten out of hospital, recovering from knee replacement, and would ride his stationary bike. I would be next to him on the rocking horse my uncle John handcrafted for me as Christmas present. He had his horse and I had mine. Later in life I learned that he was telling me about his own life. The time Cowboy James and his best friend ran into trouble with an axe in the woods of the PL; that was my Grandfather and Uncle Harlo were chopping wood as young boys and Granpa’s finger was in the way. The time Cowboy James had a wagon fall on his arm; he was explaining what happened when an engine motor fell on his hand in the south pacific. When Cowboy James moved to Houston and sent for his bride to be; this was Grandpa telling me the “ins and outs” of how to convince a woman to plan a wedding and marry you within one month’s time. (I think I missed the message here, maybe he was trying to get me to utilize the fine institution of Las Vegas, I am not sure) Grandpa the storyteller never needed special effects, loud noises, or explicit content to capture the listener. Rather, his fables were filled with enough exciting reality to interest both the patient listener and excitable youngster alike.
To conclude her heart felt eulogy of my Grandmother, my mother exclaimed, “we are not mad at you Momma, we love you and will keep loving you forever.” To my Grandfather I say, “You got the story of life right, Grandpa. Your’s is a tale we will never stop telling.”

Collins H. Ferris - A Waukesha, Wisconsin Native, Collins Ferris completed pilot training in 1940, entered the Army Air Corps at the start of World War II, and piloted A-26 aircraft in 32 combat missions over Europe. [He was on George Patton's staff.] He received the Distinguished Flying Cross, Air Medal with five Oak leaves and the French Croix de Guerre. After World War II, Ferris completed law school in Madison, Wisconsin and practiced law until he returned to active duty with the Air Force during the Korean conflict. After Korea, General Ferris became the first Chief of Staff of the Wisconsin Air National Guard. In the eighteen years of his tenure, the Air Guard progressed from a young, inexperienced unit flying P-51s to a mature military force flying KC-97 tankers and F-102 fighter jets. He retired [from the military] in 1970 after 30 years of military service. For his work as the first Chief of Staff, Collins Ferris can justifiably be called the "father" of the Wisconsin Air National Guard."

Milton WI, August 19, 1934 – ‘To be members and friends of The Milton Congregational Church, together with relatives of the Ferris family gathered: The pleasant duty of acting as historian on this memorable occasion has been assigned to me, and because it has to do with the early history of own dear father and mother, William P. and Betsy Janes Ferris, it is a very real pleasure indeed. And by reason of the fact that it has to do also with my early boyhood days spent in Rock County, I am not interested in it than would be the case otherwise. In about the year 1830, 100 years ago, there came a very study young man from the state of Connecticut by the name of William P. Ferris, to settle as an early pioneer in Johnstown, Rock County, WI. Early history has it that he was a man of small means and worked his way on the Erie Canal and otherwise, and by walking part way he reached his destination, with the determination to make a home for himself in the Middle West. Government land was then selling for $1.25 an acre. But without money, he could not hope to acquire it even _at that small price. And so he set about to earn his own living splitting rails and by doing other work of various sorts he got ahead enough in the three years that followed, to buy a farm of perhaps 160 acres -- thus getting his start in the world. By that time there was in the same neighborhood of Rock County a family by the name of Janes from the state of New York. And this young man soon found himself a wife, a member of this family in the person of Betsey Ann Janes, a beautiful young woman it was said. And thus the family of :Mr. and Mrs. William P. Ferris was started in the year 1842; Connecticut and New York joining hands. From that time on children were born to this union until they totaled nine. One died in early life, leaving these eight to grow up to mature years: Augusta, Hiram, Ellen, Mary, William, Charles, Charlotte, and Bessie. My father and mother were religious people and the family altar was early established with the reading of the Bible each day and prayer in the home. Church was attended faithfully each Sunday.. All this early training had its effect on each and everyone of the children as would naturally be the case, even though sometimes we rode to church in a lumber wagon. During these years a wonderful friendship existed among the various Janes families that had been established in that neighborhood also, not only because of relationship by marriage, but because of the fine Christian character of these wonderful people (My mother's brothers).
During the years that these young people of both the Ferris and Janes families were growing up in this Johnstown neighborhood, there developed among other qualities considerable musical ability. Among these cousins, conspicuous musically was my sister Augusta. As a soprano singer she had no equal in .that section. And being father and mother's first born, she was their pride and joy and gave them great pleasure and satisfaction in the music of her beautiful voice. One cousin in particular, Oscar Janes, was something of her equal as a bass singer. Others might be mentioned. In these early days good music was much more scarce than in the days in which we are now living. These young people were often heard in church and schoolhouse, and in neighborhood entertainments called "Old Folks Concerts" in and about what was then known as Johnstown Center. Young in life, Augusta married to Noyes. S. Belknap of Illinois, became the mother of three fine children, Giles, Lewis and Charlotte Belknap.. Sad to relate, she passed away in 1872, aged 29 years. Chiefly because of better educational advantages afforded by Milton College for his children, my father sold the farm in Johnstown in about the year 1860 and bought one of about 100 acres one mile east of Milton and moved his family into what was known as the Walker neighborhood. Being only one mile_way from Milton College and it very convenient for various members of the family to seek an education in this very reputable place of learning. My father also became very much interested in the graded school in Milton, and was for some time a member of the school board, taking a lively interest in the matter of erecting the new school, which still stands in the park in the center of town. He also took a hand in setting out the beautiful trees that now adorn this self same park, all of which seems very familiar to me as I come back to Milton after many long years of absence. Let me say in passing, that my parents were members of the Baptist church in Johnstown before coming to Milton. Much might be said about the real pleasure we as a family of young children, boys and girls together, experienced while growing up on the farm here in Milton. When old enough, we were taught to work, for there was plenty to be done the year 'round. Naturally as boys we liked to play pretty well, too, and usually found time for that also. There was the stock to be taken care of - cows to be milked, horses fed, pigs, sheep, and chickens also, and oh what fun it was to gather the eggs several times a day -- all of which comes back to me forcibly now. And then -- there were planting of the crops in the Spring, harvesting time in Summer - and gathering-in the grain in the Fall. Apples for cider, pumpkins, squash, and other vegetables to be put in the cellar for winter use. What fun it all was! As for the boys, they never liked to get up early in the morning. However, father did like to, at about five o'clock, and there was no peace for the rest of us after that, even to the putting on of "Dingbats" as he called them -- honest to good ness spankings if the boys were not up on time, ready for the day's work. Then there were the good things to eat, especially when company came -- grandchildren often in the later years, I well remember. And, so much else I cannot take time to mention. Life on the Farm I've never been weaned from it yet. And how I liked to ride horseback and all that. After the death of our dear mother in the year 1864, father married again in due time. This stepmother, bringing one son with her, made a most wonderful mother and helpmate in the Ferris family, for there were still children of tender years to be taken care of, together with cares of a household to oversee. . Too much credit cannot be given her for the faithfulness shown in those years, especially in times of illness when father had severe attacks of inflammatory rheumatism. Amidst of these years to which I have referred, my older sister, Ellen was married to George Walker of the Timothy Walker family. This wedding was certainly unusual, for on Sunday evening, January 31st, these two young people, sitting. in the choir, left their seats and the marriage ceremony was performed then and there by the minister of the church, much to the amazement of the people of the congregation, who had been taken so much by surprise. This was of novel origin and less trouble than some weddings. This happy couple was privileged to live together for 62 years before George Walker passed away four years ago, a very useful and happy life indeed, and unusual in length of years. One son born to this union, George Albert Walker. The marriage of these young people established more firmly than before a most wonderful and friendly feeling and high regard between the Ferris and Walker families (our nearest neighbors) several in number. So well acquainted were we with the Walkers that when speaking of them as neighbors and friends it was always "Uncle Willian", "Uncle Alfred", "Uncle Timothy", "Uncle Moses", and "Uncle Aaron". My brother Hiram found himself a wife in Milton also, in the person of Miss Hattie Sanborn, a woman of rare ability as a teacher, and afterwards a fine minister's wife and mother of their five children, Semour, Sarah, Annie, Walter, and Charles Ferris. This brother Hirman passed away in 1912. My sister Mary married Mr. C. M. Gates whose family at one time lived in Milton but had formerly lived in Berlin, Wis., a very successful teacher in the schools there. This sister Mary passed away in 1913. I can think of another brother in the midst of this reminiscence. William by name or Will for short, who almost married a Milton girl, but being of a fickle nature it was hard for him to choose between three fair young ladies he had on the string at once. So it finally fell to one of rare musical ability from New York state,. Miss Carrie M. Hakes, at one time a teacher of music in Milton College, who is present with us today, Mrs. W. L. Ferris now living in Lakewood, a suburb of Cleveland, Ohio, with her daughter Margaret [Fletcher]. My brother passed away in 1910 much to our sorrow. In this family there were four children, three fine stalwart sons and one daughter, Harlo, Paul, Harry, and Margaret Ferris, all of whom are attending this reunion today. Margaret and her two boys came all the way from Cleveland to be present here today. Our father passed away in about the year 1879 and the stepmother I referred to outlived him quite a number of years, marrying the third time a Mr. Cook of Whitewater where they lived very happily together several years thereafter. The farm home having been broken up in 1880, those who were left and unmarried went to Saint Paul, Minnesota to live with Mr. and Mrs. George Walker. And Aunt Ellen, as she is familiarly called, has, been like a mother to many of us ever since. I myself found a wife in the next four years in the person of Miss Kate H. Smith, the mother of our two children, Willard and Florence Ferris, both of whom might have been here today but for the fact that they are now on vacation trip touring the New England states together. I have yet to record the marriage of the two youngest of our family, Charlotte and Bessie, the first of whom, Charlotte, became the Wife of Mr. Arthur C. Anderson in St. Paul, a successful and prosperous banker end businessman in that city, and parents of two boys, Frank and William Anderson, the latter having the name of his grandfather before him, whom we honor here today,
Sad to relate, these two boys were left orphans early in life after the death of both mother and father a few years apart, and as might be expected, their Aunt Ellen came to their rescue and mothered them for quite some time, Charlotte having passed away in 1888, aged 26. Letters have been received expressing regret that the Andersons could not be present here today because of previous engagements made earlier in the season, for which we are sorry indeed. Last but not least, also youngest and smallest in stature of our family, our sister Bessie, took unto herself a husband in the person of Mr. E. F. Kimball, formerly of Berlin, this state, and became the mother of four fine children, Richard, Robert, Charlotte, and Ferris Kimball. This dear sister was left a widow early in life, her home being in Kansas City, Kansas. She has served wonderfully well as both father and mother to these four children all of these years, and has come all the way from Kansas City to be present here today. It was thought best for lack of time in this historical sketch not to go farther into detail of more than the first and second generation. Although much might be written of the third and fourth generation, now much in evidence, I am making one exception because of outstanding achievement by one of the great grand-children, Charlotte Belknap Reynolds, daughter of Giles and Lula Belknap, who has for many years been a missionary in China, and the letter from which I quote becomes a part of this sketch as follows: "Charlotte and Paul Reynolds went out under the American Board in 1921 to Fenchow (Pronounced fun-jo) China. They will soon be closing their second term and are to return for a third term. Charlotte has helped in very many ways in the mission work, has taught Domestic Science and written a textbook on that subject in Chinese. She manages the music program for church and schools, and has a school in her own home for her own children and some of the children of the other missionaries. Dr. Paul Reynolds is assistant to the Chinese Principal of the Ming I School (a large school for Chinese boys and girls of High School age), all Chinese schools, now by law having native Principals. "Paul is also Director of a large Civic Center work which last year celebrated its tenth anniversary, and at that time was taken over by the national Y.M.C.A. He was elected head of the Religious Educational Work of all north China." Charlotte and Paul have three children. They plan to come home in 1935 for their second furlough. The success of this service and family reunion being held here today is due in great measure to the untiring efforts of the three stalwart sons of my brother's family whom I have already referred to, Harlo, Paul, and Harry Ferris, all residents of our fair state of Wisconsin. I think I am safe in saying that no family in the state can duplicate these three for size and number of feet in height or weight avoirdupois, and I am going to ask the to step forward on the platform while we give them a vote of thanks. And so ends the sketch prepared by your historian for this wonderful occasion, which I hope, has been of some benefit to those who have listened. .

GEORGE N. WILLIAMSON has been successfully engaged in the practice of law in the city of Aberdeen, Brown county, for the past twelve years, and is one of the representative members of the bar of the state. He is a native of the state of Minnesota, having been born in Rochester, Olmsted county, on the 20th of December, 1865, and being a
son of Nathan N. and Mary Williamson, the former of whom was born in the state of New York and the latter in New England, while they were numbered among the pioneers of Minnesota, the father having been for many years engaged in the contracting business at Rochester. The subject received his early educational discipline in the public schools of
Oronoco and Rochester, Minnesota, and then entered the law department of the University of Minnesota. He was admitted to the bar of his native state in 1889 and the same year to that of the new commonwealth of South Dakota, since he located in Aberdeen in 1892 and here initiated the active work of his profession, in which he has been most successful, being an able trial lawyer and a duly conservative counselor, he is a close student of his profession and gives careful preparation to every cause which he presents before court or jury. In politics he is an independent Republican and while he takes an active interest in public affairs and in the success of the party cause, he has never been ambitious for political office. He has attained the thirty-second degree in the Ancient Accepted Scottish Rite Masonry, and is also identified with the Knights of Pythias. On the 15th of April, 1896, Mr. Williamson was married to Miss May M. Mackenzie, who was born in the city of St. Paul, Minnesota, on the 3d of August, 1875, being a daughter of Alexander C. and Annie Mackenzie. Of this union have been born three children, Alan N., Marjorie and Helen.
