A History of Manitowoc County Schools By Jos. J. Rappel, Co. Supt. of Schools Franklin JT. 8 - Kellnersville By Rose Y. Sleger, Teacher Franklin Jt. district No. 9 has always been known as the Kellnersville school since it is located one mile west of the village of Kellnersville. Some of the early residents called it the McCarthy school because the site was purchased from the McCarthy family. Since the first school was painted white, the Bohemians often referred to it as the "Bila Skola" which meant white school. Town records kept by town clerk Joseph Menchal show that Franklin No. 9 was set up May 10, 1858. The district was originally a part of Franklin No. 8 and Franklin No. 14. As closely as records could be checked, it was found that this district became joint district No. 9 about 1868 when parts of sections 6, 7, 18 in Kossuth were added to the original district. In later years a small piece of land in the town of Cooperstown was added to Franklin Jt. 9. Thus the Kellnersville district now is joint with Kossuth and Cooperstown. When Franklin Jt. 6 was organized in 1898, this district lost a large area of land to the southeast. Long before the first school was built, older residents gathered one night a week at someone's home to learn to read and write the Bohemian language. Such gatherings were under the leadership of men like Harous and Klacal. The first schoolhouse was supposed to have been built about 1860 on the present school grounds which is located on the southwest corner of section 1, Franklin. The one-half acre plot was purchased from John McCarthy. In 1912 and in 1929 additional half-acres were purchased each time. Frame Structure The first schoolhouse was a frame structure built by Charles Pinger for $450. It contained one room with three windows on each side of the long sides. Later on an additional eight to ten feet were built on to the front of the school for cloakrooms and to house the pump. It then was a building about 25x50 feet having no basement. The exact location of the old school can be determined by noticing the placement of the old pump. The building had double seats, chairs, blackboards, and other equipment common to early schools. After almost 70 years of service, the old school was sold and torn down. It was replaced in 1929 by a modern brick structure 37x54 feet. It houses a full basement with fuel, funace, and playrooms. Indoor toilets were installed but were later replaced by outdoor ones because of the difficulty of heating the school. The first floor of the structure has a hall, two cloakrooms, a large, airy, well-lighted classroom, a library room, a supply room, and a kitchen. The school is modernly equipped with the latest single type desks, files, radio, electric lights and service, and plenty of bulletin and black- board space. The grass-covered schoolyard has shade trees and playground equipment. The school, the equipment, and the yard reflect the pride that the district takes in its educational institution. According to the town clerk's reports to the county superintendent of schools, the little white school house at Kellnersville must have bulged with pupils in the 1870's. The reports show that in 1870 there were 109 children enrolled, while in 1875 a total of 115 pupils attended school. By 1880 the attendance had dropped to 79. Thereafter there was a fluctuation in attendance until by 1910 about 40 pupils were in school. The establishment of the parochial school at Kellnersville, as well as other rural factors, brought about this decline. The enrollment for the past few years has averaged about 15 pupils. Early Settlers Early settlers in this district were the Keehans, O'Briens, Breys, Muenchs, Stokes, Brennans, Swobodas, Burkes, Gralls, Menchals, Hyneks, Shandas, Hewitts, Pankratzs, Kellners, Milbauers, McCarthys, Herricks, Seidls, Deckers, Hruskas, Potucheks, Hamacheks, Feits, Chizeks, Freimuths, Cherneys, Shimeks, and Ledvinas. The success which former Kellnersville pupils have made for themselves in agriculture, business and the professions reads like a "Who's Who" for Manitowoc county. Some of the more well-known are as follows: Teachers: Lawrence, Mayme, Ida, Rose, and Jerome Ledvina, Emma Freimuth, Mildred Cherney, Marie Augustine, Martha Seidl, Joseph Hurka and Raymond and Hannah McCarthy. Lawyers: Lawrence and Jerome Ledvina. Government: Judge Jerome Ledvina, Joseph Ledvina former clerk of circuit court; Charles Hynek, Manitowoc Rapids town clerk; John Pinger, Franklin town assessor; Charles Muench, rural mail carrier; Joseph A. Kellner, sheriff; Lawrence Ledvina, assemblyman; and Joseph Menchal, Franklin town clerk. Business: Michael Kellner, John Kellner, Robert Guttmann, Edward Kohlbeck, Edward Ledvina, Joseph Muench, Louis Sleger, Victor Yohanek, Edward Lorrigan, John Shanda, Charles Hynek, the Shimeks, the Martin sisters, Sam Pick, now of Milwaukee, Walter and Emil Stokes, and Charles Cherney. Religion: Rev. Jacob Decker, and Sister Flora Seidl. Doctors: Dr. Lydian Guttmann, Dr. Edward Konop, and Dr. Victor Kellner. Contractors: Matt and James Mleziva, and Anton Cherney, Anton Hynek, Frank Chizek and Edward Ledvina. School Officers No record of the school officers prior to 1872 is available. Some of the citizens who served from that date to 1906 were George Reindl, James Malone, John Shanda, Michael Kellner Sr., Michael Keehan, Charles Pinger, Joseph Cherney, Frank Stokes, Frank Muench, Sr., Joseph Hurka, Math. Keehan, and Wencil Hynek. The last named officer served continuously for 24 years from 1907 to 1931. the present school officers are Clerk Frank Chizek, Director Lawrence Keehan, and Treasurer Frank W. Muench. The records do not show that a summer and winter session of school was held after 1872. Men teachers seemed to have been preferred and so a higher salary scale was maintained than in some of the surrounding schools. Teachers teaching after 1870 were: Peter Carrigan 1871-74; John E. Garry 1874; M.N. Smith 1875; David Solar 1876-78; Thomas Burke 1880; P.J. Taugher 1881; John Hewitt 1882-85; Hannah McCarthy 1885-89; Julia McKeough 1880-90; Eizzie (Lizzie?) Meanie 1890-92; Elma Lawrence 1893-96; Katie Doolan 1896; L.W. Ledvina 1897-99; C.J. Mulcahy 1899-1900; Anna Muench 1900-02; Mrs. Hannah Lorrigan 1902-1905; John Connors 1905-06; and 1907-08; and Lawrence Morrissey 1906-07. Other well-known men of today who taught this school were Peter Falvey, William Ledvina and Joseph Hurka. Master of 3 R's The teacher in the first school stressed mastery of the "three R's" although history and geography were taught. Learning the A,B,C's was a regular routine. Some of the common classics were taught to the older students. Regular spell-downs were held with the children lining up in two long rows to see which side would win. Town spelling contests were held usually about the first Friday in May. In the first school the pupils sat on a long, red recitation bench. Many times the rain and show pelted into the old school. The old box stove did not give off enough heat to prevent the lunches from freezing in the pails. Kellnersville was not always known by that name. Before 1873, the post office was called Prag in memory of Prague, the capital of Bohemia. One of the first businessmen in this district was Michael Kellner who owned a grist mill, a store, and hotel, and a post-office. A sawmill operated by Frank Chizek is now torn down. Saloons were operated by Charles Stokes, Joseph Kellner and by Wachals. Adam Jirkovic operated a cheese factory. Blacksmith shops were owned by Joseph Marshek and Charles Muench. Lawrence Ledvina Sr. was the village shoemaker. St. Joseph's Catholic church and school were established almost with the beginning of the village.

History of Manitowoc County Wisconsin Louis Falge 1861 – 1918 Volume 1 pgs. 320-322 Franklin On November 19, 1855, the territory within the limits of the present towns of Cato and Franklin was set off from the town of Maple Grove and organized as a separate town in 1856, under the name of Franklin. The first election was held at the schoolhouse in the district then known as number 1, in section 18 - Alanson Hickok being chosen chairman. The early history is intimately associated with that of the town of Maple Grove, both towns being settled about the same time and by the same nationalities. Ava Smith, an Englishman, located in section 17, in 1848, upon which he built a small log hut. A.E. Sherwood came shortly after, settling on section 31. In August, 1849, came William Playfair and a Mr. Kelley, locating on section 18, John and Patrick Mullins came in September, and John Doolan and his wife in October of this year, Mrs. John Doolan enjoying the distinction of being the first white woman in the town. In 1850 came Thomas Goggins, James Kirby, and Jacob Hartman. Other early settlers following the above mentioned were: Gottfried Fetzer in 1852; J.E. Johnson, George Siebert, Richard Rolland, Dennis Shea and Patrick Kavanaugh in 1853; Thomas Earles, B. Nate, Charles Hayes, Robert Cummings, Thomas and Patrick Long in 1854; Michael Touhey, James Mullane, John Hayden, Lawrence Keehan, Thomas Whalen and Edward Brown in 1855; August Gans, James T. Piper and A. Sullivan in 1857. The birth of Mary Goggin in March, 1851, was the first to occur in the town. It is readily seen that the most important element in the settlement of this town as well as Maple Grove was the Irish. Many of these when first arriving, had worked for years in the shoe factories of Massachusetts towns, on canals and railroads in New York and Ohio, and in the mines of Pennsylvania, but found more congenial and lasting homes here. Religious services, consisting of reading the mass, were first held in James Kirby’s house in 1852, but a frame church was not built until some years later upon section 19 – known as St. Patricks. A school district established in 1850, comprised the towns of Franklin, Maple Grove, Cato and Rockland, with the exception of the southern tier of sections. A schoolhouse was built in section 18. The town at present has nine schoolhouses. A postoffice was established on the town line of Maple Grove in 1854 – and Paquette postoffice located a half mile north of Grimms soon after – Taus near the center of the town, and Menchalville in the northwest part in the nineties – all were discontinued when rural delivery system was established. Besides the Irish, there are Germans and Bohemians, practically all Roman Catholics, the Germans attending church at Whitelaw in Cato; the Bohemians in Kellnersville and Reif’s Mills. The Bohemian element now predominates. The Town Hall is situated on section 21. The population in 1910 was 1623. The chairman is John J. Hynek. Clerk Joseph Menchal was elected last year, displacing Joseph Zahorik, who held the office continuously for twenty-five years. The Branch River, a tributary of the Manitowoc River, flows through the town from northwest to southeast. Upon this stream in section 17, upon the farms of Edward Brown, Paul Mangin, and Anton Rathsack was once located a well known and favorite camping place of the Indians, who lived in conical wigwams. They were most numerous in winter, few remaining throughout the summer. The old settlers exchanged potatoes, flour and tobacco of their own raising for venison, and tallow for candles. Numerously attended pow wows frequently made night hideous, for the majority were soon under the influence of fire water. On one occasion, one Indian while on the trail home to the Mud Creek village in an intoxicated condition, was overcome by the intense cold, being found frozen to death near the Catholic church. His friends carried the body on an impoverished stretcher to their village and there buried him. Remains of the fire places were but recently obliterated by the plow. In 1869 six wigwams were still to be seen – and this was the last seen of the Indians. On the old Charles Hayes farm are plainly discernable twelve circular pits, two or two and one-half feet deep, and six to nine feet in diameter. These are cache pits, once used for the storing of corn and other foods. The greatest elevation in the town is in the southwest 1/4 of section 1 – 335 feet.
Development of Town Boundaries in Wisconsin Number 36 Manitowoc County Wisconsin Historical Records Survey February 1941 (pg.19 & 23) 1855 – November 19 “A petition of Wm. F. Dunham & others was presented for setting off the Township no: 19 north of Range no: 22 east, and Township no: 20 north of Range no: 22 east in the County of Manitowoc from the town of Maple Grove, and for organizing the said Townships into a separate town by the name of “Franklin”, the first Election to be held in the school- house now known as District No: 1 in said Towns 19 & 20.”

H Amaden and others praying Town 19 Range 22 be sett (set) off from the Town of Franklin said new town to be called Cato and that the first Election be held at School House in District No 1 of said town.” Bd. Of Super. Proceedings, Vol. 3, p. 9
The Wisconsin Archeologist December 1915 Indian Remains in Manitowoc County by Louis Falge (pg 144 & 145) Franklin Township Mulcahy Caches. On the farm of Michael Mulcahy (SE 1/4 of the NW 1/4 of section 19), 300 yards north of the country road, on a rise of land always used for pasturing purposes, are twelve pits supposed to have been provision caches, each from 6 to 9 feet in diameter, and placed at various distances from each other. All are of circular form, 2 to 3 feet deep and still very distinct. The ground is stony and gravelly. In former days a small Indian camp was always to be found across the road, to the south, in the woods of Mr. Thos. Watt. Each pit is surrounded by a distinct ridge, which doubtless consists of materials thrown out in their digging. Branch River Camp Site. This was located two miles to the east on the trail from the site just described, in Section 17. There was constant communication between the inhabitants of this camp and that at Mud Creek. Both camps were well known to the early pioneers. Considerable barter was indulged in between the local whites and Indians in maple sugar, venison, tallow, baskets, and even cranberries from the Forks village, in exchange for flour, pork and other provisions. As store tobacco was very expensive, the settlers were compelled to raise their own crop, also disposing of a part of this to the natives. Mr. Edward Brown, who settled here in 1855, claims that many Indians died here of the small-pox, but none of them were buried here. The Indians left here in 1869. That year only six tents, or conical wigwams were occupied. The trail continued from this site to the present village of Branch. It united with the Green Bay trail three miles north of Rapids. Mangin Fireplaces and Camp Site. In 1902, two typical Indian fire places were still intact on Paul Mangin’s land, but the following year, on visiting the place, for the purpose of taking a photograph of them, both were found to have been plowed over and all traces lost. Near one of these the owner found a large whetstone. One of these fireplaces was circular in shape, six feet in diameter, sixteen large granite boulders forming the circumference. These projected about a foot above the soil. On uncovering the grass and rootlets, some two or three inches in thickness, a layer of hard-baked clay was exposed; then a layer of charcoal. Underneath as a foundation were broad flattened stones. Among the charcoal were fragments of the leg bones of deer, a broken clay pipe and a number of old style square-cut nails. The other fire circle was similar in construction to the one described. Not far from these fireplaces, where a cowpath crossed a rill flowing into the Branch River, were to be seen hundreds of flint cores and flakes and a few imperfect arrows indicating a work shop site. Mr. John Radej has a collection from this locality. Pfeffer Site. Three miles down the Branch River, on the farm of Jos. Pfeffer, Section 27, were up to recently located a number of fire places, in one of which was found two copper fish hooks. All traces of these fireplaces have now disappeared. Mr. Pfeffer has a collection of flint implements and stone axes from this vicinity.
This is the list I have of the Franklin township officials - so far. I hope to fill it in more. I stopped with 1956-1957 - the next set of years had one person who is still living. I went through each name in this list and made sure they were not living - I have the list of births/deaths of them all if you want. ==================================================== 1855 Town Chairperson - Alanson Hickok 1899 - 1900 County Board Joseph Kellner Clerk - Jos.
