The History of Columbia, Wisconsin

Hewett Township, Clark Co., WI

 

 

An 1896 view of Columbia, Wisconsin, from the east side.  A boarding house, a saloon, and general store can be seen in the background.  William Farning operated the saw mill at Columbia, at the confluence of Five Mile Creek and Wedges Creek.  The Slashings from the mill can be seen along the creek bank, as well as a few cows grazing nearby.  (This photo is from the collection of Ruby Yndoliato and presented by Dee Zimmerman in her "Good Old Days" Column in the Clark Co., Press, Neillsville, WI March 9, 1994.)
