Her family came to the River Falls (WI) area in the early 1860s, and then Ethel and her mother to the Washburn County area around the turn of the century. She compiled a history of the village of Birchwood for its Golden Anniversary. When she looked out her door, she realized she was seeing the 4 corners area of Washburn, Barron, Sawyer and Rusk counties, and decided to write a history including all within a radius of 12-15 miles. The following Barron County names, along with the page numbers on which the names appear are listed below. If you find a name that is of interest to you, you are welcome to contact Linda Mott at bikelady@worldnet.att.net and she will look up the entry for you and send you the info that is in the book. Please be sure to include the page number(s). Also, please limit your lookup requests to no more than 3 names at a time. If you are interested in surnames from the other three counties (Barron, Sawyer or Washburn), please check those indexes, located on each county's archives page, as listed below: Sawyer Co. Archives Rusk Co. Archives Washburn Co. Archives Thank you!
