"My parents came to Fort Atkinson, Wisconsin from their home in Burlington, Vermont in the fall of 1853. The first night we slept at the home of my uncle, Stephen Rice. This house has been recently removed to a new site to make room for the new post office. When we first came here (Fort Atkinson), there were three taverns, three stores, two places where they made wagons by hand, an old brewery and two blacksmith shops with one man at a place. At this time there were only thirty-two or thirty-three dwelling places. Father had bought goods here planning to start a store. So he began business in a building on Main Street where the Statz Store is now located. This building was moved to Mechanic Street and made into a residence and is now occupied by N. Weinberg. My father sold dry goods, groceries and clocks. He had brought two hundred clocks with him from Burlington. During the first year we did not make our salt. We were all very homesick, and planned to go back to Vermont the following fall."²

     Stephen moved to the West via Buffalo and the Great Lakes, landing at Green Bay, Wisconsin. He took a claim in Cook Co. Illinois near Chicago, abandoning it because it was swamp land.

The following is an interview with Stephen A. Rice as it appeared in the Jefferson County Union of 26 ___ 1897: 'People don't half appreciate the great blessing of railways and cheap mail service nowadays. Why, just think of the change since I settled here in 1837. I had to drive up to Aztalan after all my mail then, as we had no post office here. I paid 44 cents for each letter that came from my old home, Warren, Vermont, and postage money was scarce then, too. I couldn't afford to get many letters. Postmasters didn't trouble themselves about delivering a letter that was paid in advance, so I had to write home not to prepay the letters as I might not get them. What a blessing it would have been if pioneers here could have heard from 'down East homes' as quickly and cheaply as the Montana settlers can hear from Wisconsin fathers and mothers now. It took six weeks for a letter to get to Vermont from here and the same time for an answer to get back. I remember a surprise visit I gave to my mother in 1844. I had a title to four fine eighties of land and a wife and two children that she had not even heard about. I rented my farm and we went East. We got to Vergennes, Vt., and had only twenty-four miles over the mountains to go to Warren. I remember the world was coming to and end about that time - it had been postponed once - and all the Vergennes people who could get horses to travel with, had gone to Hines, a few miles away, to the Advent meeting. The Adventists were called Millerites, after Miller, their leader. The liveries were all cleaned out and there seemed no chance at all for me, when the landlord says, 'Why, there's Stephen Bragg. He told me he was going over pretty soon to see his folks. He had a Concord buggy. You had better see him.' I saw him and soon struck a bargain. By the way, he was a brother of Wm. D. Bragg, one of the first settlers of Lake Mills, and he afterward came West and went into business at Cambridge. We got started early. Stephen took my wife and Matilda and the baby in the carriage. I was to walk. Now, I don't mind it at all. I could walk in those days. My two trunks were strapped on behind. No wonder Stephen threw in a chain to make the wheels drag in going down the mountain. Mrs. Rice wasn't used to those grades and I don't think she had as much confidence in Stephen as she had in me. She jumped out of the buggy every time we struck a steep one. You ought to have seen us going down the other side of the mountain. I would run down a piece and brace myself and say 'come on', and down she would slip, slide and run and come bang up against me. Stephen was behind with the wheels chained and they were screeching and moaning as they came down, and the buggy almost straight up in the air. Finally we got there. Mother was so pleased she cried over us, and I remember wishing it wasn't so hard a journey so we could think of coming again soon, and, in fact, wishing we could have come before we did. I tell you lack of transportation facilities in those days caused an immense amount of suffering that is scarcely thought of now.^5,2' He and Laura Roberts resided between 1850 and 1860 at Koshkonong Township, Jefferson Co, WI.^6,7 Stephen A.
