CHAPTER VI -- PIONEERS (CONT'D)

MONROE.

The first settlers of Monroe were Adam Cuppy and Dr. W. J. Johnston, who settled there in 1852. The author is fortunate in securing a poll book of Monroe township, containing the names of the voters at the election in this township in 1875. This furnishes a reliable list of many of the men who were really making the township their home at that time. The list is as follows: G. M. Cuppy, F. M. Beck, F. Benson, N. Carmichael, R. Henry, J. A. Freas, W. D. Leach, B. Johnston, P. H. Dam, Joseph Smith, J. S. Tonnesen, ------ Morris, J. L. Mickel, L. L. Bartlett, W. H. Walters, L. K. Shaffer, J. A. Coppedge, John Mead, H. Campbell, Jochim Bauer, Henry Bauer, R. W. Kite, Carsten Tobiessen, S. Moore, J. L. Mead, T. B. Groff, E. Johnston, J. M. Clark, B. Hanson, W. J. Clark, C. Nasby, W. J. Johnston, H. M. West, E. J. Benson, T. Anstine, J. M. Malick, H. C. Reed, J. G. Honeywell, P. McClure, A. Kevan, T. T. Cooper, W. A. Mansee.
