After their marriage, James and Henrietta (Hayward) Driscoll settled on a farm a mile south of town on Highway 13, later known as the Hoftiezer farm. They later moved to town, living in a house located on Pacific Street in the area of the A. Boock residence. Here, on September 27, 1876, their son Lawrence was born. Lawrence lived here all of his life, with the exception of four years when, as a teenager, he resided at Rib Lake. He married Mae Andrews and later became co-owner of the Driscoll, Colby, Andrews Mill with his brothers-in-law, Bert Andrews and Charles Colby. He was our first rural mail carrier on Route 1.
