DEPAUVILLE Depauville is pleasantly situated on Chaumont River, at the head of the boat navigation, and six miles above Chaumont Bay. It received its name in honor of Francis Depau, an importing merchant and capitalist of New York, who purchased fifteen ---------- ---------- ---------. This place at first bore the name of Catfish Falls, by which it is still occasionally called. The creek above the place is still called Catfish Creek; hence the original name of the village. The first improvement was begun by Simon and Jared White, who came on as trespassers to get out lumber, but, being warned off by the agent, left a large amount of hewn timber, that rotted on the ground. From this place, they removed to Three-Mile Point, on Chaumont Bay, where, after a short sojourn, they started in May, 1817, for the west in an open boat. The party consisted of the brothers, their mother, wives, and children,--eleven in all, and had arrived in Hounsfield, a mile ot two beyond Sacket’s harbor, where they put up for the night. After leaving this place they were never seen alive. They were many dissolute soldiers and sailors lounging about the neighborhood. Their boat was found robbed of household goods, several hundred dollars which had been in the possession of the men were gone, and their bodies exhibited unmistakable marks of violence. The children were found drowned, but the bodies of the women were never found. These circumstances warranted the belief of robbery and murder; but, although, the excitement was intense and general, nothing occurred to settle suspicion upon any party sufficient to warrant an arrest. In 1816, Nathaniel Norton, Jr., who had previously been a merchant at Russia, New York, came as agent of C. H. and E. Wilkes, owners of 12,000 acres of Penet’s Square and adjoining Depauville. Soon after, David and Nathaniel Holbrook came to the place with their father, and under a contract of Alexander Le Ray, the agent of Depau, erected a rude apology for a saw- and grist-mill, but upon failure of payment the premises were sold, in 1824, to Stephen Johnson and Peter Martin, who had located as merchants and lumbermen. At this time there were but two or three log houses and the rude mills above referred to."The people of the state of New York, to William Martin of Lima, Indiana, Peter Martin of Wisconsin territory, Chester W.

E.R. HUGUNIN, Sheriff. Dated Southport Jan. 26, 1846." Southport Telegraph, January 27, 1846.Dear Sir—In reply to your letter requesting the same, I will give you the rise and progress of the Farmer's Club, and of the Kenosha County Agricultural Society, growing out of the same.
January 3, 1850, a few of us neighbors (farmers) met at the tavern then kept by Peter Martin, in the town of Pleasant Prairie, (some dozen persons in all,) and formed ourselves into a club known as the " Farmers' Club of Kenosha County," having for its object mutual benefits in Agriculture, by consultation and interchange of opinion on that subject exclusively. This I believe to be the first agricultural association in Wisconsin, and it remains still in existence. That Club met, and still meets weekly during the winter months. The meetings usually begin with a dissertation from some member; on each evening two Committees are appointed to visit the farms of certain members previously selected, and at the next meeting report their condition, &c. After these Committees have reported, any member may propose a subject for investigation, or ask any question he pleases of the Club, to which any member can reply, &c. The Club is then free and easy, and any or all talk who wish, one at a time of course. The first President was Hiram Marsh, of Pike, (now Somers,) and the first Secretary was Henry Johnson, of the same place; the latter resigned some little time thereafter, and his son, Hiram Johnson, was chosen to fill his place, and still holds the office. Leonard Crocker, of Somer?, is now President. The fee for membership is one dollar for life, subject to assessments when funds are required. They have a good library, and considerable interest is kept up.At a meeting of the Club in the spring of A. D. 1850, it was resolved "That this Club use all its exertions to form a County Agricultural Society."
In pursuance of this resolution, a meeting was called at Jackson's tavern, in the town of Bristol, on the third day of June, A. D. 1850, at which Z. P. Rich, of Paris, was called to the chair, and T. J. Rand was elected Secretary. A Society was then formed; and twenty-four farmers enrolled their names as members. The following persons were elected as officers, to wit:
President, Henry Johnson, of Somers; Vice Presidents, Thomas Slade, of Wheatland, and Lathrop Burgess, of Brighton; Recording Secretary, T. J. Rand, of Pleasant Prairie; Corresponding Secretary, A. B. Jackson, of Bristol; Treasurer, George S. Blackman, of Paris.
The Society has from that time held quarterly meetings, at which much interest is manifested. The first Fair came off at Jackson's tavern, in the town of Bristol, on the 10th day of October, A. D. 1850, but under very unfavorable circumstances; it had rained for two days, as also on that day, and it was almost impossible to get along for mud. Driving cattle was almost out of the question;

"On the town line road, later the plank road, three miles west of the city, was Peter Martin's tavern, a favorite with Kenosha young people for dances during the sleighing season. Wood's tavern, about five miles west of Martin 's, was opened September 1, 1850. Built by Uriah Wood, a member of the Legislature in 1847, who died in the fall of 1850, it was continued for four years by his son. Both were natives of Canajoharie, New York."
