DUTCHER FAMILY ASSOCIATION Vol. 1 ~ September 1, 1935 ~ No.4 * * * * * * * * * * * * We Are Growing:
With the coming of cool weather we are again under way to what we hope will be successful year for the Family Association. We have passed the most difficult stage—now to achieve some real results. It is again necessary to request that every one contribute his bit in the way of his own family history in order to have ours complete. Several have done exceptionally well and their lines will be well represented in our completed work. William Dutcher, at the outbreak of the War, was one of the leading men of the Manor. Evidently of comfortable means, as early as 1775 he raised a company of men who volunteered to serve without pay, and which he equipped at his own expense. He served for a time as Captain with Daniel Martling and George Munson as Lieutenants. Martling early succeeded to the Captaincy and little is known of Capt. Dutcher's further activities. It is not conceivable that a man of his character remained inactive, and there is ground for the belief that he acted in a confidential capacity, close to high command.* *The Old Dutch Burying Ground of Sleepy Hollow. Published by the Historical Research Society of the Tappen Zee-1926 William Dutcher located in Prairie du Chien, in the practice of law, in 1863, and was an active member of the Crawford County bar for about twelve years. During his residence here he filled a number of local offices including that of District Atty. He latter moved to Boscobel, Grant Co. Wis., where he practiced law with the firm of Brooks and Dutcher. Mr. Dutcher was a fine lawyer and a very genial, companionable man. He possessed such a keen sense of the ludicrous and his mental composition bubbled over with humor, that he never lost an opportunity to play a joke on his best friend not even allowing his own family to escape. His co-practitioners at the bar relate many very laughable anecdotes of contests of wit, in which his antagonist generally came out second best. The first meeting of the first school board in Prairie du Chien took place at the office of William Dutcher, Monday July 5, 1875, and he was a member of that board. |
