It was 5C} years ago this month
tl1at I had an opportuniry as a
young Hrrald reporter.writer-
l'lIilllr 'JUSI;I frw years out of high
~:hl ~ II -. to spend part of a Sumlay
aflnnl...m with a lerritorial pioO\.'cr.
Y1y re.:cnlly aC:lluired first car, a
u\Cd.-of l"Oursc-Model T Ford,
openet.l new hori7.0n!; tx:yond Ihe
w;dking limits of Chaska.
With a Novemher wind and
SnOWn:IKCS gcnlly mixing, I Wa!;
heilded for what was Ihen Chanhas-
scn Township, more specifically to
thaI llrea selllet.l hy "Yankees" in
the .\ XSOs.
At the Ilcrb Ac;pden home I was
going 10 hecome acquainted wilh
his mOlher, Mary Wood Ac;[Xlen, a
delightful lady gracefully enjoying
her upper Ms.
She and her family hild Ihe
experience of coming from
Massac:husells to lhe frontier twi<.:c.
Abel Wood had workcd in the
cotton mills of that stale since
coming from England as iI boy.
Learning of new opportunilies in
Ihe ne\l,' Midwe!;I, he hrought his
family, including Iwo-year-old
Mary, to the Waukesha are;1 of
WisConsin. However, it proved 10
tx: a malaria area. The family went
l1a<.:k east.
Some German families had come
up Ihe Minnesot1l River in 1X52
lInd pre.empted home!;tends on Ihe
prairie .tnd along the bluffs of what
would tx:c:ome Cmver Co~nty, cast
of what would tx:come Chaska.
The steamboalS leI them off at 11
landing c;dlcd Yorkville. During
the following year, 10 families
from Mas."<tchuSCIlS got off at the
s;lme place and headed north to
claim land. In Ihe group were Arha
Cleveland, George Powers, H.M.
Lyman, Joshua Moore, J. Cmhcan,
George Galpin, Lemuel Griffin,
James Ryan, William Tillon and
James Hillery,
A minister came 10 visil Ihe
Clevt:lands and was so favorably
impressed with Ihe new i1rea Ihilt
he wrote Iellers to Ihe Palmer
Journal. a Mas.<;achusells publica-
lion.
One of Ihe readers who was
convin<.:ed and hccame excited was
Ahel W(xxL He staTled west and
lefl enough money for his family 10
follow later. He Iamlcd at York vi lie
in 1854 and estahl ished a home-
slead. Arrer a year's preparation of
the site, he scnt for hiS f:lmilv.
A contingent of 16 SCI out from
Massachusclls. making lhe first
legs of Ihe Irip by r1lilro.1d. In the
group Ihe Wcxx1s' cousins, Caspar
KnOll, John Ac;pden, and Ihe
Hobson, Lynn and M(xlre families.
On one leg of the journey they r<xle
in a CHIle Clr, just vac:Jted hy
unimals. Planks were PUI in as sealS
for women.
After six days Ihey arrived in
Chicago on a Sunday. Trains did
not operale on Ihat duy. The neXl
day they were rock on lhe rails
headed for Galena. III. There Ihey
got on the steamboal, Franklin,
bound for Sl. Paul. There they
hoarded the Antelope and rea<.:hed
the Minnesota River Valley al
Shakopee by nightflllJ. KnOll, a
linsmith, was impressed wilh Ihe
sellJcmenl at Shakopee and de<.:ided
10 set up husiness Ihere, TIle
Antelope stopped al Yorkville, a
scallering of log homes east of
whal was 10 become Chaska. They
were greeted Ihere by Jolln Mann, u
sclller. He had heen requesled 10
lake CMe of Ihe newcomers until
lheir friends arrived.
Mr. Wood arrived wilh a lumtx:r
wagon dra\l,'n hy a yoke of oxen he
had purchased. Reunited, lhe Wlxxl
f;lmily drove into Ihe nearhy
Chaska selllement, SlOpped m
David FulJc:r's slore on the levee ;11
Ihe soulh cnd of Walnul Slreel.
They purchased a h:trrel of S;11l
pork, a dollar's worlh of sugar, a
barrel of nour and :t gallon of
molasses. Wilh Ihose purchases,
Ihe wagon and oxen nnd a $60 cow,
Ihe Woods had $42.50 left ac; Iheir
wealth. That would he contrihuted
10 Ihe COSI of a Jog sch(x)] neigh-
bors had decided 10 build. They
could then gel education funds
from Ihe lerritorial governmenl.
As Ihe farmstead Clme into view,
Ihere WllS Ihe 16 hy 24 fool log
house wilh IwO windows. Inside
were a Ill'll malic with lamarill..:k
poles. a l'Toss-lcg pine hoard tahle,
some stools and an imn SlOve. 'Ine
family unpacked rhe two chests of
clothing the)' hroughl from the
East.
Now Ihere wc:rc: eight hands
instead of Iwo for fUTlher clearing
the elllanglement of hrush, fern
growth and rrxlIs under which there
wus rich soil for cultivating. While
the son helped his father, nine-
year-old Mary aided her mother,
churning hutter and shooting
hlackhirds 10 protect lhe ;Icre of
whe.lt her f;ather had planted for
next winter's nour.
A young girl, Susan Hazeltine,
started teaching school in Ihe
Cleveland hOllle, hUl, when the log
school was finished. lhal Ix:c;tmc
the edul'.ltional, cultural and social
("cnler. 1lH: lleWl)lmerS from
Mas."<lchuSCllS were ljuile cultured.
In the sch(xllthey had such
aClivil ies as spelling bees and
lyceums, including dehates,
recilat ion!;, singing, and reading of
prepared papers.
The Rev. Et.lward Eggleslon,
author famous for "TIle Hoosier
Schoolmaster" and "The Cirr:uil
Rider," preached at Ihe schtXll
while Iraveling as a lxXlk s;lIesman.
Mrs. A\(xlen remembered lhe
occasion. She cou Idn 'I "!lend,
because she didn'l have shoes.
There were no churches, hut in
Ihe summer neighhors would
gather in the sugar maple grove
near Ihe Lyman home for servkes.
II wa'i lhere Ihat the first PrOlestanl
sermon was preached hy the Re.....
Chllrles Galpin of Minneapolis in
June I K'i4.
The Ao;ptIens and Woods being
neighhors led 10 II rather natural
romance, nnd Henry A'iptlen and
Mary Ann Wo<x.] married. 13y Ihal
lime Minnesota had bewme it
sta te.
There was so much more
Grandma Ao;ptIen lold me in lhul
1933 visit. In a future column I
shall relate some of her experiena:s
with Indians at home in Chanhas-
scn and while leaching ltl
Shakopee.
