Sleet Fails to Stop Phone Service in Marshfield
J C Marsh president of the Marshfield Telephone exchange organized an emergency force for a sleet storm but no calls were made.

Brig Gen Hollen Richardson, last surviving Iron Brigade officer, died aged 61. Coincidentally another Brig Gen Richardson now leads the Iron Brigade of the Wisconsin militia on border duty.
