I do have a bit more written by a L. W. Hutchcroft, 17 Nov. 1916 - From my Mother's side, the only available history is as follows: John Calt, my grandfather, was born in Switzerland, probably about 1806. During his early boyhood, he engaged in the saw industry in his native country, but soon emigrated to the U.S. Shortly prior to the Civil War, he settled in Hazel Green, where he was engaged for a number of years in the business of making boots and shoes. He later moved to a small settlement near Beetown, known as Nubbin Ridge. Mr. Calt died at Glen Haven at the age of eighty-four years.
My Grandmother, Catherine Calt, came to the U.S. from Germany about 1850. Her first marriage occurred in Germany and when she came to the U.S., she brought with her, her two daughters, Dorothy and Carrie. The following children resulted from the second marriage:
Mrs, William Hutchcroft b. Apr. 5, 1853; August Calt, born Aug. 5, 1845; Christine Calt, born Feb. ?, and Mrs. Louise Taylore.".

The post office for the township was named Stinson, after Mrs. Greely's people. Paul Ames Greely served as postmaster for twelve years, and drove the stagecoach carrying the mail from Shawano to Shiocton for fifteen years.

Paul A. Greely joined the Methodist Church in Greenwood, Wisconsin, and remained in this faith.
In 1909, Paul Ames Greely and his second wife, Anna, moved to Sentinel Butte, North Dakota, where they homesteaded, living there until 1921 at which time, because of failing health, moved near Beach, North Dakota, and in 1923 into the city."."
5Margrit Hamilton Lees, Greely Manual, p. 8. " Quartet From East On Trip Into New Waters
Established Village Of
Leeman
Excerpted from Post-Crescent, April 7, 1923,
Appleton, Wisconsin
LEEMAN-It was because four men were imbued with
the love of discovery that the village of Leeman,
likewise the town of Maine, was founded. The early
history makes one picture an exploration trip like
that of the Vikings of old who headed their ships
into strange waters.
Leaving their comfortable homes at Clinton,
Maine, four men set out to find themselves a new
homeland in the magnetic west. They were David
Stinson, his son-in-law, George Speers and Paul
Greely and John Whitmore.
Arriving in Wisconsin in 1854, they started by
boat through the Fox River and lakes, and turned
into the Wolf river. After passing mile after mile
of its densely wooded shores, where about the only
persons they saw were Indians, they came to the
present town of Maine. They decided that this
should be their home and arranged a settlement
accordingly.
MAKE LANDING
The quartet landed just below the present
residence of Andrew Allen, an old settler, who
came here from Canada in 1862.
From this beginning there sprang up one home
after another as these sturdy pioneers hewed
away the wilderness and made themselves prof-
itable farms. The population grew a little each
year as adventurers arrived in the new "west."
One of the favorite stopping places in those
days was the hotel which Mr. Allen conducted.
Men driving logging teams were housed there on
their way to and from the woods.
Logging was the greatest industry, occupying
the time of most of the settlers each winter as
long as the snow lasted. The logs were hauled to
the bank of the Wolf river and carried by the
current to Lake Poygan. Here they were rafted and
sent to Neenah, Menasha and Fond du Lac,
where sawmills and sash and door factories were
located.
MORE ARRIVE
The group of settlers arriving up to 1867
included Thomas Jacobs, Sylvester Boodry, Thomas
W. Allen, Claude Hurlbert and Matt D. Leeman.
Shortly after the Civil war another group arrived,
including David H. Jerry, Jacob J. and G. D.
Carpenter, Moses S. Curtis Marcellus and James
Spaulding, Eben Pushor, D. W. Fuller and Charles
Spaulding. H. S. and George Leeman arrived in
1866.
The town of Maine was named thus by the settlers
from the state of Maine, and the village of Leeman
after the families of that name which owned much
of the land there.
A. H. Atwater was the first man to settle west
of the Wolf river, establishing a home there in
1870. His example was followed by Richard Strong
and James and Cal Sawyer.
At that time there were no bridges across the
Wolf river. A flat boat was used as an accom-
modation ferry. No tolls were charged, as it was a
neighborhood boat provided for general usage.
Every man was his own ferryman.
BUILD ROAD
A corduroy road was built through the swamp and
a wooden bridge constructed across Wolf river in
the winters of 1881 and 1882. The bridge was
replaced in 1888 with the steel structure which is
in use now.
The first schoolhouse in the township was a log
shanty put up for that purpose in 1870.
The next building was built with boards nailed to
posts driven in the ground. Both were on the the
Shawano road, then the only thoroughfare. Now there
is a substantial frame schoolhouse at Leeman
corners. A cheese factory, a store and Union Con-
gregational church also are located there. The
land has been cleared off and a group of farms
under cultivation replace the wooded areas of
early days.
The first town meeting was held at the
schoolhouse in district No. 1 in 1868. At the
first election 18 votes were cast, electing Paul
A. Greely (pictured above) chairman; Andrew Allen
and M. Spaulding, supervisors; James Spaulding,
clerk; H. S. Leeman, treasurer; William Hurlbert
and J. C. Spaulding, justices of the peace; T.
Jacobs, constable; and Paul A. Greely and H. S.
Leeman, assessors.
Before rural free delivery was established P.A.
Greely drove stage from Shiocton to Shawano
carrying mail.
Andrew Allen, 86, and Thomas Allen still live
here. D. W. Fuller lives at Townsend and Paul A.
Greely, 90, lives at Sentinel Butte, North Dakota.
(Below photo of Paul w. team of horses)
Paul A. Greely will always be mentioned in the
early history of the Towne of Maine. He was one of
the first settlers, helped clear land, and drove a
stagecoach from Shiocton to Shawano for many years,
providing the only means of receiving mail. He is
hale hearty at 90 and lives at Sentinel Butte,
North Dakota."

7Paul A. Greely obituary, Loyal Tribune; Loyal, Clark County, WI; 13 Nov 1924. "Paul Ames Greely was born at Chilton, Maine Oct. 1, 1832, and died at his home at Beach, N.D. of paralysis, on Oct. 26, 1924, aged 92 years. He was the seventh and youngest son of Augustus and Hannah Greely, his mother died when he was a boy only 5 years of age, his father remarried and Mr. Greely went to live at the home of a friend until he grew to manhood. He was married on July 4th, 1854 to Miss Martha Stinson, the same years he was married, he left Maine in company of several other families from his home vicinity, among whom were David Stinson, George Speers, Paul Greely and John Whitmore, and went to Wisconsin.
The decided to settle in the town of Maine. They named the township Maine, which name it bears today. He lived in the town of Maine for nearly 40 years. Here Mrs. Greely died, Aug. 2, 1892, soon after her death, he left there and went to Loyal, Clark County, Wis., where on Jan. 9, 1902 he was married to Mrs. Anna Snow. In 1909, Mr. and Mrs. Greely moved to Sentinel Butte, N.D., where they settled on a homestead, living there until 3 years ago when his failing health made it necessary for them to move near to Beach and a year ago into the city.
He was early employed as a lumberman in Maine and in Wisconsin. The greater part of his life was spent in farming. He served many years as post master at Stinson and later as mail carrier from Shiocton to Shawano. He held the office of assessor and chairman several terms. He answered his country's call in time of need. On Feb. 20, 1864 he enlisted in 3rd Wis. Cavalry. He served until the end of the War and was honorably discharged with the rank of quartermaster sergeant.
He was converted and joined the M. E. Church at Greenwood, Clark County, Wis., in that faith he has ever since lived.
