Residence:
Sometime in the Summer of 1901 Lydia's brother John, four of her sisters and two brothers decided to Homestead in northern Wisconsin. They traveled by team and wagon, bringing with them what they could. Some of the woman came later by train.
The trip from Plainfield, IA to Sterling Township, WI was about 350 miles. When they arrived at Evergreen, WI, which is north of St. Croix Falls, each family picked out 160 acres within a few miles of each other.
They got busy building log cabins and shelters for their animals. They had to have feed for their animals, as well as food and supplies to get through the winter. In four years, they had to "Prove up" on their homesteads. Land had to be cleared, crops put in and permanent buildings put up. If everything went well, in four years, the land would be theirs.Children:
