Among the earliest settlers in the Town of Hoard was another Wisconsin born Civil War veteran, Adolph B. Matthias, whose paternal present grandfather, a native of Germany, in 1834 bought 160 acres of land  now forming part of the site of Milwaukee. This was the birthplace of the Curtiss pioneer, who learned the trade of blacksmith after his discharge from the Army, where he attained the rank of sergeant. In 1870 he took up a homestead in the town of Hoard.
