PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION THE AREA The area in which the nominated property is located is today a mix of single family houses, rooming houses, twentieth century apartment buildings and post-World War II apartment buildings as well as a large facility for the Wisconsin Telephone Company. The north boundary of the neighborhood is State Street, a commercial and traffic thoroughfare and the south boundary is Wisconsin Avenue, likewise a commercial and traffic thoroughfare that was once lined with mansions. Buildings vary as to size and historic integrity although setbacks from the street are consistent. Some blocks have alleys, others do not. Most of the residential buildings are two and on-half story in height, made of frame construction but there is the occasional masonry building. Houses that have been rehabilitated show many of the details associated with the Queen Anne Style and display decorative shingles, bay windows, oriels and spindled 1 porches. The early twentieth century apartment buildings show either classical revival details or prairie style elements.

There had been a tentative organization before that time and no fewer than eighty persons possibly more—had taken part in it. It possessed a written con- stitution. This appears from the following call which was pub- lished in the newspapers prior to the date set forth above "Old Settlers' Club.—There will be a meeting of the Old Settlers' Club of Milwaukee County, at the Court House, on Mon- day, July 5, 1869, at 11 o'clock A. M., for the purpose of electing officers and completing the organization of the club. All who have signed the constitution, and all others who settled in Milwau- kee County previous to January, 1839, and desire to Join the club, are requested to be present." To this call were appended fourteen signatures, followed by the words "and sixty-six others." The fourteen were men still well remembered by the older residents of Milwaukee—Samuel Brown, Eliphalet Cramer, S. Pettibone, Harrison Ludington, Elisha Starr, J. A. Noonan, D. A. J. Upham, W. A. Prentiss, Fred Wardner, Levi Blossom, Horace Chase, George A. Trayser, Cyrus Hawley and Eichard L. Edwards.

Dissertations (2009 -). Paper 68. http://epublications.marquette.edu/dissertations_mu/68 WHAT LIES BENEATH; UNCOVERING THE HEALTH OF MILWAUKEE’S PEOPLE, 1880-1929 by Brigitte M. Charaus, B.A., M.A. A Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School, Marquette University, in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Milwaukee, Wisconsin December 2010 ABSTRACT WHAT LIES BENEATH; UNCOVERING THE HEALTH OF MILWAUKEE’S PEOPLE, 1880-1929 Brigitte M. Charaus, B.A., M.A. Marquette University, 2010 The true measure of a city's health is the health of its people. To truly understand how Milwaukee came to be known as the “healthiest city” in 1930, one must examine the health needs of common Milwaukeeans from 1880 to 1929. This study seeks to complement Judith Leavitt's pioneering work on public health in Milwaukee by presenting a picture, not of the politics of health reform, but of the personal side of health in the city. Through an extensive examination of records including, but not limited to, coroner's reports, hospital records, personal correspondence, newspapers, cemetery data, and institutional records, a picture of the overall health of the city's population emerges. These records speak of the urban environment and its effects on everyday people. Communicable diseases, tragic accidents, suicides, physical examinations, venereal diseases, housing problems, and occupational hazards are only a portion of the health story that Milwaukee created at the turn of the last century.

  • Judicial Elections and Wisconsin History
    Judicial Elections Rooted in Wisconsin History By Michael Keane Wisconsin’s system of electing judges seems natural to voters who have been electing judges for more than 170 years. An elected judiciary, however, is not a given. When Wisconsin became a state, it was a novelty. The federal judicial system, which pre-dates Wisconsin’s by more than fifty years, still provides for an appointed judiciary. By the time Wisconsin moved toward statehood, several states had begun experimenting with an elected judiciary. At Wisconsin’s first Constitutional Convention in 1846, some advocated the idea, with proponents citing the fact that Mississippi had been electing judges for a number of years, and that other states, such as Michigan and Iowa, were moving forward with the idea. New York, the native state of many delegates, had just approved the reform in drafting its new constitution. The idea certainly seemed to match the democratic tenor of the times. However, it was not without its detractors. Among the loudest critics of an elected judiciary was Edward G. Ryan, who would years later serve as the elected Chief Justice of the Wisconsin Supreme Court. Ryan, a delegate from Racine County, fairly thundered his opposition. He asked, rhetorically, if the judiciary should be “a mere echo of the popular judgment? Sir, disguise it as man may, that is the naked question … Is the judiciary, like the legislative and the executive, representative? Must its judgments represent the will of the people? No sir! No sir! God forever forbid it!” He emphasized that the judiciary represented “no man, no majority, no people…it represents the eternal principles of truth and justice…” Ryan proposed a system whereby judges were appointed by the governor, with confirmation by a three-fourths vote of the senate.
