We breathe life into some of the almost-forgotten memories that lead on through the years to the present. We are part of the present and see a bright future for New York Mills and the surrounding area.

Winter Hours

In another 75 years we are certain that new facts will be added to this picture story of our town. Indians and Settlers New York Mills and surrounding area was a territory where the Indians lived before the ad- vent of the white man and the first settlers. The Indians living here were friendly and only a few legends are told of conflicts between the newcomers and the Indians. The Indians assisted the newcomers in drawing maps of the area and they helped set- tlers in many other ways. Most of the tribes were living on their tracts which are reservations.

The outlaw type of Indian was not a resident of this area, but there are stories of how the rem- nants of the Sioux tribes came to hunt and were in contact with the early settlers. New York Mills and the surrounding area was a haven for these as well as other hunters. Indians were living on all sides of the early settlers. We are told of seven Indian families living to the east of a family who came as early settlers and started farming. Indians helped the pioneer family in gardening, in making firewood, in carrying water and numerous other daily tasks.

The Indian children played with the early settler's children. Provisions were exchanged by the settlers and the Indians. The only incident that has come to our attention in regards to an attrocity that may have happened was the story of a certain farmer who was taking provisions to Wadena in the early days. He lived to the south of the village and raised veget- ables which were sold in Wadena. The trip to Wadena was long but was not considered danger- ous.

Hostile Indians, who were living to the north of Wadena, stopped the farmer on his way, and reportedly robbed and murdered the man. The sheriff from Fergus Falls came down to investi- gate, but we have been unable to trace down the names of the parties concerned. Dogs, which were owned by the early settlers, were on guard against the Indians, and the Indians had trouble with the pioneer's "faithful friend".

A dog that was owned by a white man had bitten an Indian hunter in this area and the Indian in turn killed the dog. In investigating the disappearance of his dog, the white man was told in sign language that the dog was killed as it was not fit to be in the vicinity of Indians. Later on, the Indians gave a puppy to a pioneer family.

    • Dogs were raised to become expert guards against frontier dangers and against animals which came to molest the white man as he opened up new land. Hunting was good and so was fishing in the area, and the exchange of venison, fowl and fish was customary with the Indians.

    This area was included in a treaty with the Indians, and this accounts for the fact that trouble was not in store for the first settlers. Build- ing of the railroad was also providing work and bringing the Indian in contact with new people on a large scale. Indians gradually moved north to live on the land allotted to them and before long were almost entirely gone from this area. Pictured here is the type of home that the white settler showed the tent-living Indians. This log house was built in in Butler township by Gotlieb Zepper and was used as a home until the early 's when John Braukmann, who now owns the farm, tore it down.

    Homesteads available! Some of these advertisements may have been placed by officers of the New York Mills Company, pioneer lumbering firm that established mills and lumbering operations in New York Mills, be- cause when people followed up the advertisements they were directed to the site that later became New York Mills, Minnesota. And so a town was born — in a few short years a wilderness was turned into a community of hardy, adventurous people who were looking for a new place in which to earn their livelihood and raise their families.

    In New York Mills was unknown, name- less, without population and without a railroad. However, the thought of a community being established here had apparently already germinat- ed in the mind of one Dr. Van Aernam was a veteran politician and had served during the Civil War with troops from his state, New York. He succeeded to his governmental post in and held that office at the time of the preparation and passing of legis- lation that provided for land grants issued to the Northern Pacific Railway.

    The field notes of the government surveyors were convenient to his investigation and showed the nature of the various pieces of land along the proposed line. Land Script was available at this time for land which could be purchased for a few cents an acre. With this information at his disposal, Dr. Aer- nam apparently saw the opportunity for the de- velopment of a big lumber business in the area which was to become known as New York Mills, a name suggested by the company he formed of men from his home community of Olean, New York.

    New York Mills thus had its birth in the mind of a man before the community was anything but the center of a vast wilderness of tall trees, populated by wandering Indians and the animals of the forest. It was a partnership composed of Dr. Van Aernam, Olcot P. Boardman and George L. Van Aernam was the man with the dream who saw wealth in the timber of the area; Boardman was the financier, and Cornwell was a practical lumber man.

    Here was the triumvirate that not only resulted in the community of New York Mills, but that has made America great throughout the years, the triumvirate of the Idea, of Capital and of Labor merged together to forge a working unit for development of resources for the use of mankind. The first car-lot shipment of material Early business establishments.

    May have been located on corner where Liberty Theatre now stands. This company made arrangements to build their saw mill in Section Eight of the township then not named located here. This section is the present townsite. And so it was, that this area became populated. People from far and wide responded to the ad- vertisements placed in papers throughout the country to come and work in the sawmills in New York Mills and to cut timber in the vast forest of that time.

    The trees that "populated" New York Mills were white pine, white and red oak, tamarack, spruce and balsam. These were the more valu- able trees, and some white pine had a diameter of four feet. Children living in the area enjoyed playing on top of the flat-surfaced stumps that were left after the giants had been sawed and hauled to the mill. The white pine was all made into lumber in the mills, the white and red oak were used for making lumber and railroad ties and the tamarack, spruce and balsam were used for cordwood, and for fence rails and posts.

    And it was these trees that spurred a man's imagination for the creation of a town. Community Becomes A Village Most of the very first settlers to come to New York Mills, those that came in and immedi- ately thereafter, were single men who lived in boarding houses and worked in the forests and the mills. One of the first men to come here, whose name is still remembered throughout Otter Tail county, was R.

    The greater part of New York Mills is on land that was originally homesteaded by him.

    Much more than documents.

    Frazee was also instrumental in establishing the sawmill industry here. He either established his own sawmill here in or had a part in the establishing of the New York Mills Company. At any rate, what interests he did have, he sold to the New York Mills Company and moved on to what is now the site of Frazee in That community was named after him.

    He came to New York Mills from Ottertail and moved from Frazee to Pelican Rapids where he was a pro- minent citizen and where some of his descendants still live. The fact that the railroad came through this community at such an early date, made it very accessible to mill hands and sawyers and also to homesteaders to whom the opportunity to work while they established their farms was very appealing.

    The construction of a few buildings began in when a boarding house, later to become the Roller residence, was constructed by the lumber company and sold to George Reynolds. Levi Walker operated the boarding house. Walker later moved to the community that was to bear his name, Walker, Minnesota.

    Most of the earlier constructed buildings have either been torn down or burned, but the building oc- cupied by the Corner Cafe was built before by the New York Mills Company. The com- pany operated a general store managed by Tous- ley and Cornwell there for some years before sell- ing it to Jerry C. Up to the town was not yet platted and its population was, for the most part, composed of mill hands who boarded. There were very few homes and business places. Farming and dairying were unknown and farm produce was shipped in from Minneapolis.

    During that same year, the Dakota Lumber Co. Old-timers in the community report that there have been four large saw mills here. In addition to the two already mentioned, another large mill was located on the south side of town, about two blocks south of the depot and a fourth mill was located on the west side of town in the approxi- mate location of the present York Industries building.

    As the community continued to grow, " souls" by , the need for municipal govern- ment was felt. Prior to filing for incorporation the village was platted in by E. Brown his wife and George L.
