Township #20--Hewett was created with its present boundaries Nov. 20, 1874. The act was to take effect the first Monday in April, 1875, and the first meeting was to be held at the hotel of James Hewett at Hewettville. (From the 1918 History of Clark Co., page, 84; submitted by Dolores Mohr Kenyon ) Communities COLUMBIA is a station on the Omaha line between Neillsville and Merrillan. It has a good looking school building, and several nice homes. Several years ago Columbia was boomed by a land company, but the exploitation was overdone and that part of the county until recently has suffered from the after effects of too much publicity. Columbia now has a store, a warehouse, a cheese factory, a hall and a church. (From the 1918 History of Clark Co., page, 665; submitted by Dolores Mohr Kenyon) HEWETTVILLE/WEDGE'S CREEK "Through the efforts of a syndicate, organized or suggested by J.L. Gates, of Milwaukee, a village has been started along Wedges Creek. A few buildings are now being put up on the site." From the Clark Co. Press, June 1893. The village, Hewettville, was located near what is now known as Snyder Dam (see the photo above). |
