Scrapbook Gleanings of Dorchester

Mayville Township, Clark Co., WI

 

(Click this photo to see how Anna looked in 1907)

 

Anna (Lindeman) Johnson's parents immigrated from Prussia in 1869.  Fifteen years later, she was born on the family farm west of Dorchester, WI, that her father had cleared from cut-over timberland. Anna attended Hilltop Grade School; and as an adult, served as Secretary of the School Board. After marrying her neighbor and sweetheart, Johnnie Johnson, in October 1903, she gave birth to six children. Anna died in 1973 at the age of 89. Throughout her lifetime, she was an avid "clipper and saver"and compiled several scrapbooks from articles about people she knew.  These scrapbooks were the foundation for this information.

Fred (Marriedadison)


Fred Sr. came to U.S. in 1866 with parents, settling in Sheboygan County; worked in Chicago a few years when it was rebuilding from great fire.
From 1947 obituary: Mr. and Mrs. Distelhorst came to this community in December 1886, where he operated a creamery and general store on the west edge of the village, near the location of the present George Putnam residence. The creamery later was developed into the first cheese factory in this area.
In 1892 he built a two-story brick structure, which later burned, on the corner where the Neal Smith ski factory now stands (1947). He operated a store at that location until 1908 when he sold the building to the Gipp family and George Sprague took over the store.

The Distelhorst family then moved to the farm (later owned by Henry Mertens and Son) on the north edge of the village. They sold the farm to Eric Beisner in 1927, who in turn sold the place, except the residence, to Mertens. The farm was a wooded tract at the time Mr. Distelhorst purchased it, and he and his family cleared it and erected the buildings.

During the years that he was developing the farm, Mr. Distelhorst worked as a carpenter and building contractor. He built the structure which now houses the Paulson Garage, which at that time was used as a school building. He also constructed the present village hall and the Peace Evangelical and Reformed church edifice in the village and numerous farmstead buildings in the surrounding community.

From Mrs. Distelhorst's obituary: Couple lived on the Hiram Schmidt farm, where Fred Distelhorst was foreman, until December 1886 when they moved to Dorchester. Fred Distelhorst started the Dorchester Creamery on the site of Laabs' Cheese Factory. At the same time, he opened a general store on Main Street. In 1892 the store was moved to the corner where Kraut's Funeral Home was later located. January 1, 1908 he sold the store and moved for a farm (occupied by Herman Holtz in 1942).
