Name Mary Ann (Wood) Aspden
Comments/History In the book, "Chaska, A River City", Volume 2, Mary Ann Wood gives an account
of stepping off a river boat with her family at Yorkville in 1854. From there, going
by an oxen -drawn lumber wagon to her home, a 16'x 20' cabin. The wood family
property was located west and south of William Sarver. Yorkville was, at the time,
a docking area for river traffic. Boats moved goods up Chaska Creek. Yorkville
became lost in the Chaska boundaries and no plat was ever recorded. It is
believed to have existed in 1852-1853, and was founded by John Mann, also
known as Maertz. Yorkville is believed to have been where Stoughton Avenue is
now in Chaska. Mary Ann's father, Able Wood, lived 1809-1888 (see Grave 46.7).
Her mother, Margaret Jackson Wood, lived 1815-1883,
