CHOUTEAU, Berenice - pioneer,

was born in Kaskaskia, Ill., in 1801, daughter of Col. Peter Menard, first territorial governor of Illinois. The official position of her father afforded her educational and social advantages beyond those of the average young women of her locality and time. She was married when eighteen years old to Francis F., son of Pierre Chouteau, Jr., and partner in the firm of P. Chouteau, Jr., & Co., fur traders. The newly married couple decided to make their home at a point on the Missouri river near Black Snake Hills, which location became the site of the city of St. Joseph, Mo.

 

The journey was made on a flat-boat, and after living there two years they removed to the present site of Kansas City, Mo., where they established the first trading post and built in the woods the first log house erected in that section. Here her husband acquired title to large tracts of land and extended his domain to the mouth of the Kansas river, making it to include all the valuable farming land in the vicinity. The city of Kansas City was subsequently built upon a portion of this property, and squatters located on other sections and gave title to new settlers.

 

The question of ownership in this way became much involved, and long and expensive litigation ensued, in which Mrs. Chouteau after her husband's death sought to recover possession, her claims amounting to over $5,000,000. The statutes of limitation operated to deprive her of her rights, the decision being made by the highest courts, in November, 1888, but two weeks before her death.

 

She was a liberal benefactress and distributed her large fortune in promoting the interests of the Roman Catholic church, of which she was a devout member. She built in Kansas City the first church edifice, and her liberality during her life expanded with the growth of the church and its institutions in that locality. She lived to witness Kansas City created a diocese, and a cathedral take the place of her first little chapel. She died in Kansas City, Mo., Nov. 20, 1888.

The Box Factory fire   In 1858, a large pile dock and warehouse were built at the foot of Broad street by Mr. Chas. RITTENHOUSE.   During the years of 1864 and 1865, a company of paroled soldiers were stationed here and the warehouse was fitted up as a barracks for them. The plot around the depot and adjoining blocks being used as a parade ground.   Various stories (myths) of Indian disturbances were around and the soldiers were sent here as a protection against them.   The dock as allowed to go to pieces. The fort stood idle for many years and in 1888 was rebuilt into a box factory by Mr. H. O. COOK and Mr. Arthur ESPERSON. It burned in June 1899.

From the Bayfield County Press ...  Saturday June 10, 1899:   "At about 3:30 Wednesday afternoon fire was discovered in the Wooden Ware company's factory at the foot of Broad Street, and by the time the alarm was turned in the flames had burnt through the roof and in ten minutes from the time the whistle blew the entire building was one mass of flames.   "The firemen were prompt in responding to the alarm and had several streams of water playing on the fire in a short time. But all efforts to save the building were futile and the firemen turned their attention to the adjoining buildings and tramways and kept the fire from spreading as much as possible and by heroic efforts kept the fire within the block occupied by the factory. The steamer Plowboy arrived on the scene just in time to give some very valuable assistance and kept the fire from getting into the lumber piles in the east end of the R.D. Pike Lumber company's yards.   "A bucket brigade composed of boys from eight to fifteen years of age did some noble work in extinguishing the flames and are deserving of considerable credit." Return to: APIS Sand Island ... Keeper's "PDL" Log for  June 9, 1899 <-(Archived)   Part-1: In 1896, the newspaper reported that "...the popular steamer Plowboy, with Captain Fred Bishoff as a master, is doing a thriving business nowadays, and is carrying hundreds of tired and weary travellers to Bayfield and Madeline Island..." In fact, the Plowboy made two trips daily between Ashland and Bayfield, stopping at La Pointe each way. It was asserted that, "One of the many reasons why the Plowboy has always been so popular as a means of travel is that she can always be depended upon. Capt. Bishoff does not change his time card with the wind, nor for the many whims of the public."   In August, 1901, a picnic sponsored by the Lake Superior Retail Butcher's Association was attended by one thousand people. That summer season concluded with a huge Sunday School picnic on the Old Mission grounds. It was advertised as "the cleanest time possible for one to get in this life." The steamer Plowboy and Charlie Russell's big sailboat Madeline ferried the picnickers over and back, landing them at the Old Mission dock. Just as the Plowboy hove into sight at the end of the day, all the delegates joined hands and sang together, "Blest be the tie that binds."   Master list of Wisconsin Logging Railroads A third road called the Bayfield Western was incorported on April 21, 1899.  The BW's goal was to construct 6 miles of track from the end of the BGH&W by Nov ... members.tripod.com/~sassmaster/bfldn.html
