Wesley M. VANDERHOOF

1Clark Co., WI Internet Library, ALHN & AHGP website, http://wvls.lib.wi.us/ClarkCounty/clark.htm, Clark County News. "Wesley Vanderhoof, who died at his home in the town of Sherman January 7, was one of the four surviving Civil War veterans of Clark County. The other three veterans are: Thomas Goodell, Spokeville, Albert Darton, Loyal and Sylvanus Warner, Thorp, all of whom are past 90 years old.

 

 Wesley Vanderhoof was born on a farm in Pequanic, Morris County, N.J., October 16, 1843, a son of Jacob and Jane (Miller) Vanderhoof. He grew to young manhood there, receiving only a limited education. In 1861, he answered the call of his country and enlisted in Company E, 8th New Jersey Regiment. He was mustered in at Trenton, with that regiment being sent to Washington. He saw and participated in much hard fighting. At Chancellorsville, he received a hip wound and lay in the field for six days before he was picked up and taken to Mt. Pleasant hospital at Washington. There, he recovered and rejoined his regiment.

 

 He took part in battles at Williamsburg, Yorktown, Harrison Landing, Fair Oakes, Deep Bottom and the fighting in front of Petersburg. At the close of the war, he came west and after spending a few months at Plymouth, Wis., he came to Neillsville in 1869. He helped build the first turnpike road in Clark County, leading north out of Neillsville. He spent his winters in the woods and worked at log driving in the spring.

 

 In 1884 Mr. Vanderhoof bought a farm in the town of Sherman and that year his parents and other members of the family came to Clark County to join him. There were no roads at that time, the land being covered with pine and hardwood timber, with only 17 houses having been built between his farm and Neillsville. He was a member of the county board for six years and often walked in for its meetings. Most of the family provisions were carried from Spencer, 4 miles away. He built a log house and barn, acquired a yoke of oxen, and a few chickens, but it was two years before he added a cow to his livestock.

 

 (Walking cross-country to attend county board meetings, in Neillsville, would have been a trek of at least 17 or 18 miles, one way. How many of us today would have that stamina? D.Z.)."

Forrest got out a large piece of drafting paper and methodically laid out the whole family beginning with Christian Zimmerman and Elizabeth Kneil, Forrest's great-grandfather. The tree covers five generations. There are a few blanks. Apparently they didn't keep up too well with the family of Forrest's great-uncle, Henry Zimmerman. There are 175 names on the tree. Forrest drew it from memory.  The funny part is this.  Forrest never wanted to have anything to do with his cousins. Dianne only remembers meeting one of them ever.
