    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

The Lemonweir/Wisconsin River valley is sandy flats, but to the West/Southwest are the high bluffs as you head towards Elroy and Wonewoc and over to the Mississippi Valley.

Our family farm was on the boundary: at the northern edge was the township of Lindina, but we were in "Summit" township and the hills started just back of our farm.

We are in Lindina...you weren't too far away.

Local History

Local History

The south side of Lindina Township had a number of farms owned by members of the Petrowitz family and the Steiners (a Petrowitz daughter married a Steiner and their sons had several farms in the area.) They're congregated around the intersection of Hwy 58 and 0. My grandfather was one of the Petrowitz brothers and his farm--and then my fathers and then mine and now my brothers--farm was just across the township line between Summit and Lindina. I did first grade at the Rock Valley School across from the building known as Stewart's Chapel.

Wow...family farm is just a couple miles west of there...corner of O and G. Our place used to be owned by Dr. Hess. Of course the town hospital is named after him. (Hess Memorial Hospital) We have an old chair in our house with an "H" carved in the back of it.
