Early in 1800 Sylvanus Wade decided to “go West”, but stopped in Pennsylvania where he met his wife, Betsy. Later they proceeded west, stopping first in Illinois and then going north into Wisconsin settling in Ft. Atkinson. Sylvanus explored this new territory and in 1843 came to Sheboygan County. He found an Indian trail, a little river, (the Mullet) and a falls where he thought he could build a mill.A year later he moved his family to a small log cabin he had found at the new site,Inn to serve travelers and immigrants.It is this inn, designed by Wade’s son in law-, Charles Robinsin, the Robinson’s home “Butternut House,” and the blacksmith shop that form the nucleus of Wade House State Park. More recently, in 1968, the Jung Carnage Museum was added to the attractions at the area.The Wade House Inn was operated by three generations of Wades, Sylvanus, his son, Hollis, and Hollis’ son, William. It was put up for sale by William, but after two years had not been sold. The State Historical Society was interested in the property because the Inn had been left basically unchanged, Mrs Dooley said, and the state took an option on the Inn. A local woman bought the Inn, but was unable to do anything with it, and then in the 1940s it was purchased by the Kohler Foundation of the Kohler Co.Mrs. Ruth DeYoung, Kohler, Mrs. Herbert V. Kohler, worked for three years to painstakingly and faithfully restore Wade House and Butternut House to the condition they were in when operated by Sylvanus and Besty Wade and their family.Many pieces of the original early American furnishings are found in the two buildings. There are pieces of Betsy Wade’s rare spatterware and pea fowl pattern china and the dining tables are set with the Wade’s original tea leaf ironstone dishes.Mrs. Kohler died shortly before the dedication June 6, 1953, but she had planned the program, including Carl Sandburg, famous writer, as the speaker. Her daughter,spokesman i^en oacuusThe most recent support came Tuesday night from the Central Wisconsin Uniserve Council, which represents 3,900 teachers in the northwest and south central area of the state, and from Southwest Teachers United, which represents teachers in 25 districts. The vote at the Southwest group’s meeting was close, 19-16Jacobs said the WEAC has about 420 local units. He listed 29 which he said had voted to support the walkout.They included Appleton, Beaver Dam, Chilton, Fall Creek. Florence. Fredonia, Hartford Elementary, Hartford High School, Niagara, Port Washington, Somerset, Waupun, Wausaukee, Solon Springs, Greenfield, St Francis, Beaver Dam, Crivitz, Ripon, UW-Oshkosh, Fox Valley Technical Insitute (Appleton), Freedom, New Holstein, New Lisbon, Bayfield.

There is virtually no feedback from constituents on 95 per cent of all issues, he contended.In other issues, Aspin said, there “were cross-pressures and cross-currents.”“You vote the way you think is right and hope that youf constituents look at your overall record when you come up for re-election.” he declared.The speaker said that special interests posed “very serious problems in some instances.’’ “You want to vote one way and the people who financed your campaign may want you to vote the other way,” he said. “There is a big temptation to vote the way your contributors want.”Aspin quoted the advice once given by an old congressional veteran “If there is an issue involving special interests and the people, I always vote for the special interests because they will remember and the people
