The gray twilight of a bleak March day shut down rapidly over frozen field and ice-rimmed lake. Champney Googe left the shed with the rest; no one spoke to him, although many a curious look was turned his way when he had passed, and he spoke to no one. He waited for a car to Flamsted. There he got out. He found a restaurant near The Greenbush and ordered something to eat.
After leaving Greenbush he was stationed at West Bend, Columbus and Fall River, Oneida Indian Mission, New London, Markesan, Caldwell's Prairie, and New Berlin. At the Janesville Conference in 1870, Brother Lewis, having served the church nearly thirty years with great devotion, took a superannuated relation.
This meeting is still referred to with great interest by those who were permitted to participate in its thrilling exercises. The Pastor of Greenbush at this time was Rev. A.M. Hulce. He was a young man in the work, having been received into the Conference at its last session.
The Club's membership, of both young and old men, is large and increasing with the growth of the town; but the old frequenters of The Greenbush bar-room head the list Colonel Caukins and Octavius Buzzby paying the annual dues of their first charter member, old Joel Quimber, now in his eighty-seventh year.
At the close of the year, the Pastor was fully paid, and the Society was out of debt. Conference of 1851. Presiding Elder. Presentation. Give and Take. Fond du Lac District Quarterly Meeting Rev. J.S. Prescott. Footman vs. Buggies Fond du Lac. Two Churches. Greenbush Quarterly Meeting Rev. David Lewis Pioneer Self-Sacrifice. Finds a Help-Meet. Sheboygan Falls. Rev. Matthias Himebaugh.
When Octavius Buzzby, the factotum at Champ-au-Haut and twin of Augustus Buzzby, landlord of The Greenbush, entered the former bar-room of the old hostelry, he found the usual Saturday night frequenters.
The American army was distributed in three divisions: one under General Harrison called "The North Western Army," a second under General Stephen Van Rensellaer, at Lewiston, called "The Army of the Centre," and a third under the Commander-in-Chief, General Dearborn, in the neighbourhood of Plattsburgh and Greenbush.
About 1804, David Yager came from Greenbush, N.Y., and purchased the farm now known as the Peter Yager farm. James McDonald settled at the lower end of the village at an early date. Mr. McDonald was of Scotch descent, and an active business man. The lower part of the village was largely built through his enterprise and at one time bid fair to become the business centre of the village.
An overtaxed brain fell a prey to mental disability, and our good brother went to his reward. Fond du Lac was under the pastoral care of Rev. J.T. Woodhead. This excellent brother entered the Conference in 1858, and before coming to Fond du Lac, had been stationed at Greenbush, Berlin and Ripon. He was now on his third year in his present field.
Octavius nodded in reply; he was comprehending all that old man's words implied. He bade Quimber good night and walked on to The Greenbush. The Colonel found him more taciturn than usual that evening.... "I can't, Luigi, I can't marry you," she answered almost irritably. The two were nearing the entrance to Champo; the Italian was pleading his cause. "I can't so don't say anything more about it."
