 AN INDIAN DANCE.

The last Indian dance in Taylor's Falls was given by a party of

Chippewas in 1856. They had come down the St. Croix in birch
canoes with furs and cranberries to exchange with Samuels in St.
Croix village for "scootawabo," or whisky. They remained about a
week, drinking and carousing in their peculiar style. One Sabbath,
and when, for a wonder, they were quite sober, they visited Taylor's
Falls and gave a series of grotesque and laughable dances in the
street, opposite Folsom's store, after which they called for presents
as tokens of friendship and appreciation, kindly and gravely shook
hands and recrossed the river.
"Thus departed Hiawatha."
 CHAPTER XIII.
BIOGRAPHICAL.

Jesse Taylor, the first permanent settler of Taylor's Falls, came to the
Falls in 1838, as narrated in the general history of the village.
Nothing is known of his life before coming to the Falls, except that
he was originally from Kentucky, and lived at Fort Snelling, where he
was employed as a stonemason. By the death of his associate, B. F.
Baker, he came into possession of the mill property and its
belongings. This he sold to Joshua L. Taylor in 1846, and removed to
Stillwater, where he took a contract for stone work on the prison
walls. His name appears as a member of the house from Stillwater in
the territorial legislature for 1851 and 1852. He was married in 1844
to Abigail, daughter of widow Edwards, of Stillwater. He left
Stillwater in 1853.
Joshua L. Taylor was born in Sanbornton, New Hampshire, in 1816.
In 1836 he removed to Alton, Illinois, where he lived until 1840,
when he came to Taylor's Falls in the employ of the St. Croix Falls
Lumber Company. In 1846 he purchased the property of Jesse
Taylor. He engaged in logging until 1849, meanwhile pre-empting
portions of the site of Taylor's Falls. In the fall of 1849 he went to
California, and was fairly successful in his mining ventures. He
returned to Taylor's Falls in 1852, where he has since resided. He
was married in October, 1856, at Skowhegan, Maine, to Clarinda
Wyman. Mrs. Taylor died May 4, 1860, leaving no children. Mr. Taylor

Mr. Taylor, and her daughter Mary, lived with him many years. Mrs.
Gilmore died in 1868. Mary Gilmore was married to D. G. Sampson in
1881 and now lives in Ashland. Mr. Taylor had many opportunities of
entering public life, but, with a solitary exception, declined them. At
the organization of the territory of Minnesota, in 1849, he was
appointed United States marshal, but declined. He was afterward
appointed warden of the penitentiary at Stillwater, and served two
years.
Nathan C. D. Taylor, elder brother of Joshua, was born in

legislatures, and speaker of the fifth. In 1866 he was elected county
treasurer of Chisago county, and thereafter to the same office
continuously for ten years. Mr. Taylor never married. He died at
Taylor's Falls, March 20, 1887.

Falls in 1840. In 1850 he settled on a farm adjoining Taylor's Falls,
known as the Jerry Ross claim. He pre-empted the southwest

followed farming successfully a few years, and in 1862 enlisted in his
country's service, as a private in Company C, Seventh Minnesota
Volunteer Infantry, and along with his friends Colby and Guard did
noble service, participating in several battles, in one of which, the
battle of Nashville, he was wounded by the bursting of a shell. He
remained with the regiment, however, until, disabled by his wound
and by sickness at the siege of Spanish Fort, he was compelled to
return home. He never recovered his health, but in 1867 peacefully
passed away. He was a good man, a brave soldier, and an exemplary
Christian.

lumbering for himself and others, and devoted some time to public
affairs. From 1843 to 1854 he resided alternately at Stillwater,

Having devoted his leisure time to the study of law, and having been
admitted to practice in the supreme court of Minnesota, he
concluded to devote himself entirely to practice. He established a
law office in Taylor's Falls with L. K. Stannard. He removed to
Superior City in 1869, to Duluth in 1874, and returned to Taylor's

village or surrounding country had been developed in such a way as
to give any assurance of success. Mr. Thomson removed in 1854 to
Polk county; and settled on a farm in Osceola, where he made
himself an attractive and pleasant home. His farm has long been
