Rolling District No. 3, (Sunnyside)

Published in Dessureau's 1922 "History of Langlade County..."

The first resolution of the township Board of Supervisors, April 23, 1881, was to change the number of the different district schools in the township.
District No. 7 then became District No. 3, of which mention is now made. While the district was set off as such in 1881, it was not until 1885 that
a school house was erected on a clearing donated by Charles Herman, who was the first County Sheriff. The school, of log construction, was one room
and was situated in the northwest corner of the district. Miss Hattie B. Vasburgh was the first teacher.
District No. 3 has the distinction of possessing fine agricultural lands. As fast as the white pine forests were cut settlers took up the cut-over land.
The first settlers arrived in this region in 1878, three years before the coming of the Milwaukee, Lake Shore & Western. James Quinn, the Vetelle
family, George Hall, Solon Hall, George Connor, Charles Herman, Roy Ferguson, August Duchrow, John Monroe, Mr. Thompson, who was a trapper and
fox hunter, Charles Blamberg, William Gropp, James E. Monroe, Walter Bryant, Albert Smith, Rudolph King, George Schraml, Hiram Tenant, R.H. Buck,
all were pioneer settlers. Later settlers, who may rightfully be classed as pioneers, were: Frank Kozarek, Albert Stone, Martin Marchiniak,
Martin Murasky, Andrew Jahnkowsky, Anton Antoniewicz, Steven Noskowiak, Fred Becker, George Grall, Sam P. Nelson, Otto Hanke and Steven Scott.
It was not uncommon for the early pioneer to cart supplies and foodstuffs from Wausau or points farther away. The old corduroy roads, the marshes
and rough oxen carts made the journey weary and tedious.
Mention has been made of the first log school, which was replaced by the present splendid frame structure located on the NE 1/4 of the NW 1/4 of
section 10. It was erected in 1888. An addition to accommodate its growing needs, was erected in 1908. Early District No. 3 teachers were: Hattie B. Vosburgh, Laura Thomas, Addie E. Hill, Mary Bertherison, Henry F. Herman, John Schaen, Effie Gray, Anna Gropp, A.M. Arveson. Mrs. Irma Larzelere
was the teacher in 1921-22.
The first school board consisted of Charles Herman, George Connor and George Hall. The 1921-22 school board consisted of Martin Kozarek,
J.E. Monroe and Walter Bryant.
There has been no recent territorial changes in District No. 3, which consists of sections 3, 4 ,9,10, 15 and 16.
In the early days the settlers, after a busy day clearing land, sawing logs or working in the "pineries" would gather at the Solon Hall place where dancing and merriment were featured.
This lightened the weary labors of the homesteader and others.
Principal colonists and original land owners were: Upham & Russell of Shawano and F.A. Deleglise. Land sold for from $7 to $10 per acre in 1885.
Pioneer loggers in the district were: A. Weed, Charles Gowan, and J. O'Brien. Present industries are: one saloon, owned by Louis Kruk and one cheese factory owned and operated by Umland Bros.
Of Birnamwood, who have been located on section 3. This cheese factory has since burned down. Early factories were conducted by A.A. Miller
and the Star Creamery, a co-operative company.
Highway No. 39 runs through the district.
The Chicago & Northwestern Railroad main line runs through section 3, 9, and 16.
The area of the district is 6 square miles or 3,840 acres.
