Pomeroy and Mrs. Elizabeth Olds (Luther Pomeroy’s grandmother). Pomeroy built the first log house in this community. Also in 1857, a townsite was laid out on the immediate bank of the Watonwan River by General Hartshorn, Dr. Sheppard and Mr. Haire. A young man named Daniel Buck, a civ- il engineer who had come from the east, was the man who surveyed and platted this old townsite. Afterwards he became a lawyer and later appointed as Associate Justice of the State Supreme Court. WHERE DID THE NAME COME FROM? The name Madelia was chosen in honor of the daugh- ter of General Hartshorn. Madelia Hartshorn was the daughter and only child of Philander and Ann (Hornell) Hartshorn. She was born in Hornellsville – now Hornell – New York on October 10, 1827 and died there on April 3, 1845. Madelia had been dead over 12 years when she was honored by having the townsite plat named for her.
