Charles H Dawes, a pioneer of Wood County , Wisconsin, retired after a useful career. Charles was 13 years olds when he accompanied his parests from New York State to Waterloo, Wisconsin. After finishing school there he worked in a flour mill until the family moved to Wood County in 1876. Here he helped to clear the land and endured all the hardships of pioneer life. In course of time he bought 65 acres of wild land, which he has since cleared and which is now operated by his son Ernest. Mr. Dawes is now living practically retired on the 65 acres above mentioned, which he himself farmed successfully for many years. The place is well stocked with Holstein cattle and is a finely developed farm. From time to time Mr. Dawes has taken an active part in public affairs. For nine years he was clerk of his school district, and he was one of the U. S. Census enumerators for the census of 1900, at which time the town of Wood consisted of the present towns of Wood, Dexter, Hiles and Cary, which made a large stretch of country for him to cover. Many places had to be reached on foot through dense forest, while to-day automobiles drive past the doors of the same places.
