Atmosphere Casual, comfortable atmosphere to enjoy with friends and family all year long It is our intention to create an atmosphere that is suitable for comfortable lunch meetings for the local business community, but which also serves as a place where people can gather to relax, slow down, and savor the pleasures of good food and wme The goal of the business is to create a non -intimidating, fun atmosphere for learning about wine Patrons will have the opportunity to taste wines from all over the world We also intend to provide educational opportunities via wine seminars and

project I should have a final version to you at your June —or at the very latest, July —meeting This has been a difficult survey for a number of reasons 1 ) There are a lot of houses 2) Churchill & Nelson used a lot of unrecorded "Bonds for Deed" or as we call them today, Contracts for Deed This means a piece of property with a house on it could go through several owners before there was any kind of document recorded at the Courthouse So, a person might built a house on his lot ten years before Churchill actually gave him a recorded Warranty Deed C & N did this for two reasons the taxes weren't paid on the property, and it saved recording and foreclosure fees 3) Most of the houses were built m the 1870's before City Directories and Building Permits 4 ) The lots are small in this Addition so usually one piece of property consists of several lots, often divided in strange wa3 s For example, James Davis might built his house on Lots 21, 22, 23 Today there is an old house on the E 1/2 of Lots 21, 22, 23, and another old house on the W1/2 of Lots 21, 22, 23 Which was James Davis' house9 5) Despite a letter sent to every resident, I have not received a single call, or offer of any information But I persevere I should be at your April meeting to answer any questions Rough Draft The Third Street Hill A small news item appeared in the Stillwater Republican newspaper on November 2, 1869 Closing the Gap "The Third street grade is rapidly approaching completion The gap between the two sides of the fill is steadily being closed, and a week or two of the kind of weather we have been having during the past few days will enable the workmen to complete the job Gov [Mayor] Holcombe promises, however, if the weather does not permit finishing the work, that he will cause a temporary bridge to be made, spanning the gap, for the convenience of the scholars this winter, who reside in the northern portion of the city " The S Third Street hill between Chestnut and Willard Streets was a massive pubhc works project that included the filhng of a major ravme and grading down through the bluff For most of the 1860's, the city fathers planned and schemed to find the wherewithal to breach the bluff In 1867, constiuction began on the new Washington County Courthouse at the top of the hill and plans were laid for a new Central high school —the largest in Stillwater —kitty cornea from the new Com thouse (Pix from coi nei of 1870 BEV) Opening a street between the hilltop and downtown became impel ative Previous to 1870, the South Hill, or Nelson's field' as it was then known, was accessible only by the Main Street steps rising to S Broadway, or by a winding path snaking down a lay —me (named Nelson's Hollow)2 which spilled east into Nelson Street and Nelson's Alley 3 Unfortunately the men most involved in this development of what we know today as the South Hill were in then graves Socrates Nelson was born in Conway, (Frankhn County) Massachusetts, January 11, 1814 As a young man, he attended Deerfield i Michael Kinsella obituary in the Stillwater Gazette, December 25 1878 His store at Willard and Fifth Streets was in "what is known as Nelson's Field "

the age of 25, he wondered west to Illinois prospecting and buying furs By 1840, he was in the rapidly growing city of St Lotus, Missouri where he took up with his future business partner, Levi Churchill Four years later, Nelson took a wife Beitha Bartlett, a widow from Conway who had come to Illinois after the death of her husband Upon his marriage, in 1844, Nelson took his wife and some mercantile goods upon a steamboat north on the Mississippi River to the northwestern frontier a St Croix river landing with a newly erected sawmill There, at a place called Stillwater, he built himself a house and store near what today would be approxunately the intersection of Nelson Street and South Main Street 4 Socrates Nelson's partner, Levi Churchill, was also a Yankee, born on September 16, 1813 in Woodstock, Windsor County, Vermont He married Elizabeth Marion Proctor on Oct 2, 1844 in Proctorsville, Vermont They must have moved to St Louis shortly after the wedding In the outpost settlement of Stillwater, Socrates Nelson (Nelson's Warehouse) collected furs, and sold merchandise The furs were shipped downrivei to St Lotus where Levi Churchill sold the furs, and used the money to buy merchandise to ship upriver to Nelson Socrates also acted as a transfer agent on the Stillwater levee, receiving packages and other goods headed further up river and inland and arranged to ship them to their ultimate destination But it was obvious to the residents of the frontier Territory that the future lay not in furs and tracking, but in land and town sites As one of the first residents of the location, Socrates and Betsey Nelson, and their St Lotus partners, Levi and Elizabeth Churchill, split the waterfront territory of Stillwater with two other pioneer settlers Joseph R Brown took the northern part of the waterfront, between what would be today the site of the old Prison and Brown's Creek John McKusick bought out his sawmill partners, and claimed the area between the old Prison site and what is today Nelson's Alley Nelson & Churchill's claim extended a quarter mile south of Nelson's Alley All three claims extended three-quarters of a mile west from the river As one local historian put it 4 Fifty Years in the Northwest by W H C Folsom Pioneer Press Company 1888, Page 59 59 History of Washington County, North Star Publishing Company Minneapolis, 1881 Page 590 There seems to be some question about the notion that he was at Nelson s Landing on the Mississippi River Rough Draft "In 1845, a verbal agreement was made with regard to land claims, by which [Joseph R ] Brown's claim was recognized as extending along the lake shore north of Battle Hollow, where the Minnesota state prison now stands South of Battle Hollow, along the lake shore to Nelson, extending three -fourths of a mile west, was the claim of the null company, originally held by Fisher [This claim was purchased by John McKusick ] South of Nelson's alley, one-half mile down the lake, three -fourths of a mile west, was S Nelson's claim "5 This original claim supplemented by subsequent purchases, made Socrates and Betsey Nelson, and Levi and Elizabeth Churchill, owners of much of what is today known as the South Hill [1870 BEV map—Nelson's Hollow blown up] One of the first purchases Churchill and Nelson made at the new land office when it opened in St Croix Falls in 1849 w as the NE i/4 of Section 33, one hundred and sixty acres between what is today W Orleans and W Willard Streets, between S Holcombe Street and Sixth Avenue S 6 Churchill was apparently the partner more active in land speculation, m 1845, he was one of several proprietors of the town of Fillmore in Andrew County, Missouri 7 But land was not the exclusive focus of Churchill & Nelson Socrates Nelson was involved m a number of commercial ventures in the fledging city of Stillwater He was the first merchant trading m furs, hardware, household goods and lumber He was a developer of Baytown Township, and along with others, built a steam sawmill on the riverfront of what is today Bayport He was active in pubhc life, serving as territorial auditor from 1853 to 1857, and as a state senator Of his personal nature, one historian remembered him as "He was of a free and generous disposition in all his relations of life" 8 6 Fifty Years in the Northwest by W H C Folsom Pioneer Press Company 1888 Pages 40 41

Stillwater, were growing rapidly, and the one thing every newcomei needed was land land to farm, land to hve on, land for commercial enterprise The businessmen of Stillwater were well aware of this demand, and many of them bought tracts of land to develop into building lots Stillwater began with a sawmill in 1844 Five 3 ears later, when Minnesota became a Teriitoiy, the population was estimated at 609 9 A year later the population had jumped to 1,052 Most of the residents hved in what is the downtown area today But boom tunes lay ahead Thousands of immigrants were pouring into the Territory, and the price of land was rising rapidly Thiough the early 1850's, the price of land doubled, and doubled again The Territory was struck with the fever of land speculation With the contuntung influx of newcomers, all of whom needed a place to live, how could the price of land not continue to rise — or so the speculator reasoned By 1854, the speculation in land prices was just begmmmng in earnest, peaking in the year 1857, when it is estimated that m Minnesota, at least 700 towns were platted mto more than 300,000 building lots — enough for 1,500,000 people 10 Stillwater did not escape the speculation fever The St Croix Union newspaper was dehghted to point out that "About two years ago, Hersey, Staples & Co gave $600 for a lot [which] last week sold for $3000 to Mr Dodge We add that when Hersey Staples & Co made the aforesaid purchase, many thought they had given a very high price but time will prove that the lot will increase as rapidly to value, to the next two years, as it has done in the two just passed Mr Dodge has already been offered $500 advance on what he gave Our faith to Stillwater is unbounded "11 9Theodore C Blegen Minnesota A History of the State U of Minnesota

editor struck back at any who might doubt the future 'Less than two years ago they sneered at Stillwater's being anything outside the Basin, or Original Limits [of downtown] We well recollect that we were laughed at, by some, for pitching our tent out in Holcombe's Addition —it being then a wild unbroken wilderness But what are now the facts? There are over 100 houses out there now —some of them first class —and about 600 inhabitants Lots which, when we located there [two years ago] could be had for $25 cannot now be purchased for less than a hundred dollars —and they are constantly rising Lots have been enhanced in value four -fold within the past two years, and the way we read the signs of the times, they lack much of having reached their maximum 12 MORE ADDITIONS nticipating quick profits in the land, Stillwater entrepreneurs did what others throughout the settled portions of Minnesota Territory were doing they platted more Additions The trick was, they reasoned, to buy the land by the acre and sell it by the -foot "STILLWATER FOREVER Another Addition to Stillwater Additions to Stillwater are all the rage now Within a few days past, Jacob Maerty has sold to Joshua B Carter and Gov Ramsey, 140 acres of land lying west of Stillwater and adjoining Holcombe's Addition, for $7000 It is soon to be surveyed into town lots We rejoice to see this movement There are now three heavy St Paul capitalists and speculators deeply interested in Stillwater, viz R F Slaughter, Col H M'Kenty, and Gov Ramsey We are glad to know that St Paul speculators are vitally interested here, because it argues that they now see what we saw nearly three years ago, that is, that Stillwater is destined inevitably to be a great place They now see that Stillwater is not a 'one-horse town, chucked down among the hills in the sand ' They now see that Stillwater has 12 St Crotx Union December 5, 1856 • • • Rough Draft unrivaled advantages

greatness "13 HURRAH FOR STILLWATER" In January of 1857, just as the land speculation was reaching its height, Churchill and Nelson began to act On January 12, they deeded an undivided one-half of the NE 1A of Section 33 (40 acres) to Robert F Slaughter of St Paul for $5,000 00 14 Slaughter, who was involved in several other Additions in Stillwater, was a consummate real estate salesman, his specialty was selling local lots to out of state speculators 18 The following May, Slaughter sold one-half of his portion to Hilary B Hancock of the town of Minneapolis Hancock paid $2,500 for his 20 acres 16 On June 15, 1857, the four men and then wives Levi and Elizabeth Churchill, Socrates and Betsey Nelson, Robert and Nancy Slaughtei, and Hilary B Hancock platted Churchill, Nelson, & Slaughter's Addition to Stillw ater But their timing was very bad As late as February, 1857, the future looked bright 17 "Real Estate and Business in Stillwater The price of land in our city and vicinity has advanced with astonishing rapidity during the last two years, and from present appearances we shall see still greater improvements in the future During the week past Mr H R Murdock purchased ten acres of land adjoining Cooper's Addition, from Mr Slaughter, for $100 per acre Two years ago this same land was sold for five dollars per acre 13St Croix Union, December 12, 1856 14 H

investments and fortunes to be made in this city —which is, as yet, in its infancy —and every day presents new evidences of its future greatness On every side preparations are being made for the erection of capacious ware houses, substantial —and in some instances —fine private dwellings, and every thing promises a season of unprecedented prosperity "18 The four partners must have had visions of sugar plums dancing ui their heads With close to 500 lots for sale in this Addition alone, their future was assured THE CRASH On the 24th of August, 1857, the Ohio Life Insurance and Trust Company of New York failed, its creditors were forced to default, and a calamitous chain of events spread across the United States Within two months, almost everybody in Minnesota was m debt, the Minnesota Territory was literally emptied of cash City lots became virtually worthless Those who were formerly wealthy found themselves bankrupt Stillwater boosters were m despair, and the city was never to fully recover its boundless optimism after this Depression of 1857 Writing of St Paul, Thomas Newson described what was also true of Stillwater "And then came the terribly hard times With no money, no values, no property, no business, little or no emigration, no banks, or banks with empty vaults, no courage, no hope, notes due, mortgages foreclosed, men heavily in debt, land depreciated from fifty to seventy-five per cent, no trade, indeed with nothing to trade, no foundation to build on, no one can imagine the 18 St Croix Union February 13 1857 • • • Rough Draft frightful condition of affairs in St Paul in the latter part of the year 1857 but he who passed through it all "19 The Stillwater Democrat, on January 1, 1859, editorialized "A Happy New Year to our Friends and Patrons Eighteen hundred and fifty eight, with its panics and monetary convulsions, its depression of trade and depreciation in value of all and every kind of purchaseable and ponderable goods and estates, has, thank goodness, departed for ever " The population of Stillwater had declined, and all plans for the future were put on hold A couple of the local banks, not being able to obtain cash, printed their own bank notes, and Washington County was forced to issue its own scrip payable against tax dollars that were difficult, if not impossible, to collect In 1857, before .the crash, Churchill & Nelson managed to sell only a couple of lots in Block 10 But as the economy collapsed, and the real estate market withered, Nelson, as the partnei resident in Stillwater, realized that the sale of his lots would ultimately depend upon better access to the top of the south hill To solve this dilemma, Nelson did what many other land developers and speculators did in the nineteenth (and twentieth) centuries they donated some of their lots for a pubhc development, in this case, they donated a whole block for the building of a new Washington County Courthouse on Pine and S Third Streets This was not an act of altruistic generosity on the part of the partners, they knew the building of a Courthouse would make their own lots surrounding the courthouse much more valuable Not only would the sale of their lots benefit from businesses and workers wishing to live near the Courthouse, the developers would also benefit because the city would finally be forced to provide easy and quick access up the bluff to the courthouse As Churchill & Nelson anticipated, the building of the new Courthouse served as the impetus for other development A new, large, and very grand public school, Central School, was constructed kitty-corner from the Courthouse, and across S Third Street, Father Michael Murphy paid the astronomical sum of $4,000 00 in 1871 for three of the best lots in the city used to build the new St Michael's Church 19 T M Newson Pen Pictures of St Paul, Minnesota and Biographical Sketches of Old Settlers By the Author St Paul 1886 Page 698 Rough Draft With the building of the Courthouse and other institutions nearby, and the opening of the Third Street hill, the lots in Churchill, Nelson and Slaughtei's Addition began to sell, houses were built, and the neighborhood began to take shape But the two men most responsible for these changes were both dead Levi Churchill had died at the young age of 45 in St Louis, Missouri on Christmas Eve, 1857 He had left his entire estate to his wife, Elizabeth M Churchill Elizabeth, in turn, assigned responsibility foi the affairs of the Stillwater partnership to her brothel, John Proctor, a well known Stillwater resident 20 Socrates Nelson had died on May 6, 1867 at the age of 53 His heirs were his wife, Betsey, and his one surviving daughter, Emma A Nelson Socrates left an estate of considerable value His household goods weie appraised at $448 00 including a very expensive $50 00 double barreled shotgun (By contrast, his four featherbeds were only . alued at $30 00, and a walnut dining table was valued at $3 00) His store inventory was valued at $9770 00 His accounts payable weie valued at $13,416 00, giving him total assets in personal property of $23,303 00 In addition to this, his real estate, consisting of lots in Stillwater and Baytown, were appraised at $63,990 00 The total value of his estate was close to $100,000 00, a great deal of money when the average wage was $2 00 a day, and you could buy a decent house for $500 00 21 His business affairs were to be continued by Betsey and a local businessman and surveyor, Harvey Wilson The other two partners Robert Slaughter and Hilary B Hancock, discouraged no doubt by the panic of 1857, forfeited their claim to the lots and are nowhere to be found 22 The First Houses, The 1870 Bird's Eye View In 1870, when the first Bird's Eye View map of

southwest corner of S Sixth and W Churchill Streets, today that location is occupied by an 1890's home with the number 902 S Sixth Street The first house on this location was built in 1857-58 by Charles and Mary Wagner who purchased the lot from Elizabeth Churchill in July of 1857 for $250 00 The following year, in May of 1858, they took out a $1,000 00 mortgage from the eccentric and wealthy Englishman, Morgan May for whom the Township is named Two years later, May foreclosed on the house and property and sold it to Mrs Mary Jackman In 1866, Mary bought three additional lots In 1883, Mary sold the house and four lots to Maria C Adams This large house is quite evident on the 1870 Bird's Eye View Map In May of 1894, a lumber man, John J, Kilty, bought Lots 1 & 2, and presumably built the

second floor 36 But Giebler was not only a butcher, he was also a developer He purchased the two lots west of him, lots 21 & 22, and divided them on an east -west line On the east half of the two lots, he had the home at 416 W Churchill Street built in November of 1912 The price of the building is listed on the building permit as $2,000 00 The size was to be 28 by 30 feet, 2 stories, with a full 7 foot deep basement 37 Three years later, m 1915 Giebler had a second house built almost identical to the fiist $2000,00 was the listed cost of this home at 424 W Churchill Street, but this house was a trifle smaller at 26 by 30 feet This, however, was not the first house at this address The first was built about 1870 by Phillip and Eliza McDermott, the parents of Nancy McGrath who hved at 502 W Chuichill Street McDermott became a prosperous lumberman, and in 1884 built a large attractive house that remains at 1312 Fotu th Avenue South When this original house on these two lots was

selling their properties Although we know the house was there in 1871, and therefore Thompson must have been in possession of the property, the first recorded deed does not occur until November of 1878 when a Warranty Deed transfers the property from Churchill to Thompson Levi and his wife, Aurora, were born in Mame, they had two sons, Charles and Ernest, and two daughters, Alice and Iris In the later part of his life, Thompson was a partner with Asa Pattee in a coal and wood fuel business 3s For a time in the 18 7 0's, the home at 319 W Churchill Sheet had the more logical house number,

neighborhood, placed a value of $350 on the house situated on the three lots (1, 2, 3, Block 11) owned by Hans Hanson In 1881, Hanson sold his property and the house that took the number, 309 W Churchill Street, to Fridohn Beckei Becker was a teamster In the summer of 1911, this house was moved on its two lots to accommodate the building of 904 and 908 S Fifth Street 41 In May of 1872, Elizabeth Churchill sold Lot 28, Block 12 to Bridget Keating, and there is a note in the assessor's records penciled in "Keating's house, $400 " Two years later, however, the property was sold to Joseph Olson who hved at 219 W Churchill Street for more than two decades But it appears this house was demolished, and around the turn of the century a second house was built m this location The present house had five feet added to it as well as a porch over the kitchen in 1922, and the following 39 SAM 5, Roll 2 5 Deeds 45, 1880 Census #191, 1877 and 1887 Stillwater City Directories Z Deeds

Churchill and Nelson took another turn Emma, the heir and only surviving daughter of Socrates Nelson, married a 28-year-old dapper and promising Stillwater attorney, Fayette Marsh One of the first orders of business was to build a splendid new house for the family The house at 516 S Broadway, which cost around $15,000 00 was a resplendent conglomeiation of brackets, bays, porches, all in a more or less fasluonable French Second Empire Style [pix of house] In November of 1880, Emma Nelson Marsh died leaving three children In her will, we find that the $100,000 00 estate left her by her father some 13 years earher has been reduced by one thud Emma's personal assets included bank stock, promissory notes and cash worth $9,131 00 The value of her real estate was reckoned at $57,275 00, which included the value of the S Broadway house at $13,000 00 From her personal estate, her husband, Fayette, w as to receive $3,043 23, each of the three children, Ella N Marsh, Nelson Orris Marsh, and Faith Marsh, were to receive $2,029 23 Fayette was the adrmnistrator of the will, and it was his task to continue managing the real estate interests of the estate However, there was apparently some difference of opinion over the administration of the real estate between Fayette and his mother -in law, Betsey Nelson, Socrate's widow In a five page memorandum between the two heirs of Socrates, which reads, in part, " certain differences have arisen between [Fayette] and Betsey D Nelson respecting the rights and interest to the residue of the estate of Socrates Nelson, deceased which consists pnnctpally in certain real estate situated in the city of Stillwater " Fayette agrees to pay her a monthl3 allowance from the proceeds of the real estate As an indication of the amounts concerned, there is a note m the will that the 42 SAM 78 Ro11 9, D Bonds 400 Z Deeds 34 1887 Stillwater City Directory City of Stillwater Building Permits #1899 #2003 Rough Draft rents received from the properties was $4,270 00 between November 23, 1880 and November 1, 1882 43 But Betsey Nelson was apparently not the only one Fayette Marsh had difficulty with The beleaguered son in law, who had an unfortunate and ultimately fatal addiction to alcohol, was apparently accused of hving off, or at least using his wife's and mother -in law's money for his own extravagant purposes In a letter of justification to his children, accompanying an account book, he wrote "The account which is set forth just above is as you perceive the account from the time we finished building the House [616 S Broadway] up to the time of your Mother's Death The history of that period is this In order to explain the account from 1873-4 when we finally closed up House building until 1876 Mrs Nelson continued the business of the Churchill & Nelson Estate Your mother's [Emma Nelson] property was our half of that estate And you will find that I have charged to myself all that which I received from him during that period, even when it was delivered directly to your Grand Mother This lasted until the Fall of 1876 at which time Harvey Wilson [a trustee under Socrates Nelson's will] died Then for about one year or perhaps a little more Mr John Proctor, the brother of Mrs Churchill, who was the owner of the other half of the estate ran the business, and I have charged myself with all of the cash which I obtained from him There was no other source from which I received any belonging to your Mother during that period, so I charged it all to myself During that period also -the fall of 1876--your Grand Mother [Betsey Nelson] resided with me and I paid the entire expenses of my family and of your Grand Mother except for as far as she purchased clothing or expended money which was drawn from Mr Wilson which money you will find charged to me in the accounts set forth But the money turned over to her for her especial use was also credited back to her in the same account so that made it stand in this way From the time we quit building the House up to 1876I supported your Grand Mother except as to her spending money and some money which she used for the purchase of clothing that she received from Mr Wilson through me as indicated in the account This continued to be the case during the administration of the estate by Mr Proctor which lasted until sometime in 1877 Except that he so miserably managed the affairs of the estate that but little money was received which might be disbursed You will observe by this account contained in the old Wilson Book, which will be presented for you, that he must have lost most of the rents and indeed made a very lame attempt at running the business of the Estate It was the actual 43 Will of Emrna Nelson Marsh #535 in Washington County Probate Court Rough Draft desire of both parties that the Estate should then be divided It was done so in a very satisfactory way I believe to both of them 44" "Now at the division of the estate a certain lot of notes were turned over to me as the agent of your mother, a part of them never were collected, all of those that were collected you will find in the list charged to m- account on page 14 of this Book Three of the notes were not collected and you will find them charged to my account At the time of the division of the estate there was no property except certain bank stock in the Lumbermans National Bank and in the First National Bank of Stillwater, these certain promissory notes and the real estate The real estate of which I speak was conveyed to her by Deed You will find these deeds recorded in the office of the Register of Deeds at the Court House [3 Deeds 116] There were three of these deeds The deeds that were so recorded described all of the real estate that was conveyed to your mother at that time I enclose in this book and attach to it maps showing where that real estate was situated The colored pieces on the maps indicate the estates which were conveyed to your mother at that time It contained a complete description of all that was conveyed to her, nothing has been omitted In order to show you that I account for every piece of Real Estate sold I have jotted down upon these maps on each lot the number of the item and the pages where you will find that I have been charged with it This is so that you may be perfectly convinced that 1 have accounted for every foot of real estate which was deeded to your mother or of which she was the lawful owner When I do that and account for the promissory notes received and for the cash received from Mr Proctor and Mr Wilson I have absolutely accounted for every dollars worth of property of hers that I ever touched or handled There was also certain other real estate which was nominally or apparently conveyed to your Mother The deed of that has never been recorded The reason for that was this Before the division of the partnership property there was quite a number of lots conveyed by way of Bond for Deed [similar to our Contract for Deed] and notes given therefore In many instances the taxes were not paid upon it, therefore the deed of that could not be recorded These notes given for them are the same notes which I have charged myself twice because they were already sold and a bond given for a deed so that the real estate really was not ours The bond only giving us a lien or title to the property until the notes were paid When the notes were paid the property became theirs Therefore I ought only to charge myself with the notes 44 Previous to 1877, the deeds in Churchill Nelson & Slaughter s Addition a ere signed by all parties John Proctor (for Elizabeth Churchill), Betsey Nelson Emma and Fayette Marsh When the estate was divided certain lots were deeded to Churchill and certain lots were deeded to Nelson s heirs Rough Draft [Many of the lots in this addition were not conveyed with a Warranty Deed to the new owners until several years after the owners had built a home on the lot What Fayette is explaining above is that an intermediate (unrecorded) instrument much hke our Contract for Deed was used to convey the property until a later Warranty Deed was issued by Churchill of Nelson] If you are not satisfied upon this point show this paragraph to any real estate Lawyer or any competent Lawyer and he will tell you that I am stating just what the legal rights of the case are and that I should so charge myself just as I have done and in no other way And you will discuss by the examination of this account and the books of Harvey Wilson and the maps which are attached to this Book and the deeds which are upon record at the Court House recorded in the year 1877, about the month of May, that I have accounted for every note and every dollar in money that I ever received of your mother's and every piece of real estate that I ever sold of hers up to and including the year 1880, the account closing on the 23id day of November 1880, the day your mother died " "Let me state the proposition broadly to you that from the time that I married your mother in 1871 to the 23rd day of November, 1880, I furnished the entire support of my family without the use of a Dollar of your mother's money That such money of hers as I did receive was expended as you see by the account for her benefit and in the protection of her property and in the building of valuable Buildings upon her estate When I came to take charge of the Estate and the division was made there was only one building upon the property save and except our Homestead There was no property that would pay an Income as you perceive except this building known as the old Willard Building which was standing at the time that I write this explanation That was rented for five hundred Dollars per year The taxes on the property, it being all outlying lots, was above Twelve Hundred Dollars per year You can see that instead of being a help to us it was a positive nuisance and burden Yet notwithstanding this truth all of those years I necessarily had to bear the humiliation and reproach of the current belief in society, reiterated upon every possible opportunity by the friends of Mrs Nelson that I was being supported out of the property belonging to your mother Your mother understood it correctly and used every possible endeavor she could to correct such a misapprehension and in all respects in reference to it behaved toward me like a noble woman which she was In her there was no fault either in reference to that or anything else This will close up the account to 1880 at the time of her death The next two years the account was filed with the Probate Court It consisted in the collection of various notes which we had at that time and in the sale of some certain real estate I will indicate upon the map what the Real Estate was Rough Draft The account will only be the account just as I filed it in the Probate Court at that time and nothing more From that time forward I will continue the account so as to show that I have accounted for every piece of property, money or any other thing had or owned by your mother As I have above stated I found the property was outlying and producing no income in my judgement and I now believe at was the best business judgement in order to secure an income for my wife and children in case of my death and I thought that this outlying property ought to be sold and converted into money and buildings built upon that portion of the estate lying upon Main Street in the city of Stillwater where it would bring a good rent As you see by the accounts I have accomplished for that purpose the buildings are built and if you notice the larger rents with which my account has been charged since that date you will perceive that it was a good business judgement This property will be turned over to you in your due proportions when you arrive at Lawful age, and upon my Death by the terms of my will You will inherit every Dollars worth of it, every dollars worth of property of which your mother died possessed together with much other property and life insurance which I shall be able to confer upon you I do this with only the desire of accounting to you for all of your mother's estate I shall neither permit my wife or anyone else to inherit a dollars worth of the property that belonged to your mother After the close of the account tdhich I shall add and which is filed in the Probate Court I wall go on with the receipts and disbursements from that date until the present, and from time to time while I lave I shall keep up this account And I say here, that in case I shall live, after I complete one more building up on that property I shall feel that I have made sacrifices enough to the labor I have bestowed upon it and shall feel at liberty to use the income in excess for what I have done with the money "95 Fourth Street Houses 704 S Fourth Street The history of this property begins with the Stillwater Gazette of November 14, 1871 Under a listing of improvements, Fourth Street, for the year, there is a note A Caplazie $500 Albert Caplan bought Lots 1 & 2, Block 5 from Ehzabeth Churchill in 1871 on a Bond for Deed (similar to our

Fayette Marsh), Richard Huseth 11007 Spicewood Parkway Austin TX 78750 Richard was extremely helpful in gathering information on Churchill and Nelson Rough Draft Albert Caplazi built a house on the southwest corner of Fourth and Willard and at one time had a dairy of about 15 cows, until the herd law went into effect about 1885 when the cows were not allowed to run at large, many in the neighborhood came and got their milk fresh at milking time, morning and evening When the herd law went into effect, Caplazi opened a grocery store on the coiner at 702 S Fourth Street while living next door at 706 S Fourth Street Caplazi and his wife, Chetien, had immigrated from Switzerland They had, in 1880, three children Paul 12, Rosa, 10, Ottehe, 4 In the summer of 1941, a new residence

and apparently he had a greenhouse either on this property or close by Born in Canada, he was, at least in 1880, a single man of 53 living with the Edward Bell and George Gerard families But some disaster must have occurred around 1894 because Marcel moved to Tacoma, Washington, and a new $1,000 00 home was built on Lot 12 by Michael Carroll, a Stillwater carpenter on behalf of Eugene Savage, a janitor at Central High School who is listed as living at 1008 S Fifth Street Given the occasional mistakes on the old records, it might be possible that the building permit for Lot 12 (1016 S Fifth

was approximately $390 It was a simple one and one half story house, four rooms, with a partial basement, and, an elegant touch for workingman's house, a bay on the north side In July of 1882, Packard sold the property to Edwaid J and Emma Davis (He was also known as James E Davis) In 1892, under new owners, John and Jessie Sinclair, a 14-foot by 18 foot ell was added on the south side, and the interior woodwork updated By 1903, the house had passed into the possession of Mrs Zona Doyle, a teacher at the Central School 60 It appears the house at 720 S Sixth Street was built about 1874 by Darnel McQuillan who owned a saloon and billiards hall on Main Street in downtown Stillwater In the first Stillwater City Directory published in 1877, McQuillan is fisted as living on Sixth, south of Goodwood (Willard) This Ls apparently another case of using unrecorded documents on a piece of proper ty in this Addition, for the first official record of the property is a deed from Ehzabeth Churchill to James Fowler, Jr in July of 1881 Fowler, a young man of 24, his wife, Eliza, and their year -old son, Sanford were natives of New York State Although he hsted his occupation as chemist, Fowler had taken an entrepreneurial bent in Stillwater opening a fug mture store on N Maur Street m downtown Stillwater Business must have not been good, for he soon sold then house to Ange

making, constructing, altering & repairing a certain dwelling house " It seems Lippert had given Mueller $50 00 in cash and a promissory note (unpaid) for the remainder of his bill Two years later, Lippert sold the property to a Swiss butcher, John Neideren, and his Prussian born wife, Annie, who hved there with then five children Edward, John, Ulrich, another son, Rosa, and a sister-in-law

a store on Willard Oct 10, 1875, a fine October Sunday about noon there was made a wing shot that don't happen very often, a large flock of Rough Draft geese were flying North, they were high, so high they appeared about the size of a two months old chick A Mr Roettger lived in the third house from the southwest corner of Churchill and 5th [912 S 5th St ] He shot at those geese twice from his door step, when they got half way between Churchill and Willard over 56 a goose turned and headed south, she held there a moment and then she began to tumble over and over she went and struck a fence and broke the top one by six inch fence board edgewise back of where Hooley's meat market is now, corner of 4th & Churchill It was surprising the size of that goose, they looked so small in the air She was dark colored and weighed about ten pounds It was quite a sight to see that goose come tumbling down from such a height The Irish Church [St Michael's] had just let out so tt attracted a large clown Mr Roettger later moved to a farm in Wisconsin between Houlton and Somerset A terrible thing happened between the Irish Church and Hooley's butcher shop on Sunday about noon late in November to

wrist There was a water fountain in the triangle at 4th, Willard and Locust but the water was shut off for the winter, so they had to go down on 3rd at the head of Chestnut on the way back just as they got in front of St Michael's Church the bell struck 12 o'clock —church out, the horse bolted and started to run the boy couldn't hold him and he couldn't let go as he was hitched to the end of the halter rope The horse turned on Locust down 4th running away with the boy dangling at the end of the halter rope when the horse turned on Churchill the boy's brains were spattered on the sidewalk

the real estate left by Levi Churchill and Socrates Nelson had been sold In September of 1901, Fayette Marsh died at the age of 57 His obituary testifies to the tragic figure Fayette had become 71 "The sad fact has for years been impressed upon the minds of our citizens that the once brilliant lawyer, Fayette Marsh, bound by a seemingly uncontrollable passion to habits of dissipation was moving in the pace that kills All the efforts of his better nature and the kindly influence of relatives and friends u ere of no avail At times it seemed as if the great curse of his life was to be lifted, and he became himself But not for long The demon of dnnk clutched him again in its deadly grasp, and he went steadily downward His speedy decline, the loss of the respect and confidence among friends who had hoped in Lain for his deliverance from the cruel bonds which led him captive on the downward road, these are too well known to most of our readers Last Tuesday afternoon, while in a weak and dazed condition, he stumbled and fell down a flight of stairs in the Mower block and was found insensible a few moments later He was taken to the city hospital and after an examination by the physicians his case was pronounced a very serious one He lingered, however, in a semiconscious condition, until last evening at 8 30, uhen death closed the career of one who to life was respected and beloved by all, and whose memory will be kindly cherished by hundreds who will only remember his many noble and unselfish acts of kindness, forgetting else in the charity which covers all the shortcomings and imperfections of this brief, transitory existence here " Fayette's win left one third of his estate to each of his three children with Emma Nelson Marsh He left one-half his law library to his second child, Fayette Marsh, Jr , age 13, by his second wife, Kate Greeley The personal assets of Fayette totaled $218 00, his real estate, heavily mortgaged with back taxes, was valued at $333 00 Socrates Nelson's legacy, worth S100,000 00 in 1867, had been reduced to less than $1,000 00, two generations later, despite a ten fold increase in the price of Stillwater real estate On May 11, 1908, Elizabeth Churchill, aged 83, died at her home at 5108 S Broadway in St Louis, Missouri She had no children Her estate consisted of Block 29 on Main Street in the original plat of
