Notes  - Please contact us if you have any history regarding the Radcliff Feed Barn.  Did the Witts or the Trindals buy it from someone named Radcliff, or was this business located elsewhere?

August Carl Witt was born December 21, 1875 in Mayville. He came to Clark County at the age of seven with his parents, who settled on a farm near Spokeville. He was united in marriage to Martha Degen on February 14, 1903 at Loyal. After their marriage, the couple lived on the home farm until 1926 when they moved to Loyal. Here he operated a feed mill with his son, Albert, for many years. Later they operated a meat market for a number of years. He was a member of Trinity Lutheran Church of Loyal, and had helped to build the present church.

Loyal being a dairying community fits right in with our business, which I shall try to tell you a little about. We have three elevators, and our son has one of his own, our son works in the home office for his father, also runs his own elevator from there. We have stations at Granton and Spencer, Wis., each about twelve miles from Loyal. We do a retail and a wholesale business, by retail I mean we sell to farmers and to the public, by wholesale we sell direct to others stores and elevators in surrounding towns, in fact we sell to stores as far away as a hundred miles. We have salesmen out calling on stores and elevators six days of the week. We always buy in carloads, we sell many items, all grains, mixed feeds, poultry feeds, turine sugar, coffee, flour, salt, apples, potatoes, fertilizers, seeds of all kinds, and many other items too numerous to mention. We do custom grinding, mixing of feeds. We also buy produce from the farmers, such as wool, poultry, grain, hides, potatoes, etc.  Hazel (Mrs. Orin) Trindal
