  • Notes 
    • In the fall the sextet trekked westward to the townline east of Macton. Here they rented a log cabin for the winter. With the assistance of a settler by the name of Moritz Hahn, who lived near St. Clements, the men went on to Mornington township where land for future farming was picked out. That winter Messrs. Stemmler, Biesinger and Letscuss cleared land and built a log house. The men would return to their shanty near Macton at nightfall and then make another trip to Hesson the next day.
