WILLIAM SCHOLFIELD, deceased, first settled near Mineral Point, on coming to Wisconsin, about the year 1856. He bought a farm, and went to what is now Scholfield, to get lumber to to fence it, being in company with Captain Lumbard. Upon arriving at the last mentioned place, then a wilderness, he bought a saw-mill of a Mr. Martin, which he operated for some time, but after having rebuilt the mills, they were burned. Then he purchased the whole interest and rebuilt them alone. From that time until his death he followed the lumber business. Since his death the business has been conducted by Mrs. Scholfield and her brother, in the firm name of C. P. Haseltine & Co. Mr. Scholfield was born in Salem, Ohio, March 7, 1810. He was married, in Joliet, Ill., Oct. 28, 1852, to Mary S. Haseltine, who was born in Canaseraga, Allegany Co., N. Y., April 2, 1833. They had five children — Kate M., now married, Wm. B., deceased, Elizabeth R., Mary V., and Margaret A. Scholfield.
