“Earl Lea, town clerk of Lanark, recalls ‘Nate’ Howard (‘a heavy bearded man’) who one day got to talk about life in southern Wisconsin before moving to Portage County. In his youth he had once carried a sack of corn over a considerable distance to a grist mill and when he arrived at the mill the owner laughed at him and said ‘he’d be damned if he’d start up his mill for a little sack of corn.’ Howard swore that if he ever had a mill of his own he would take in any amount of grain to be ground. And he did.”
