  Mentioned in History Of Outagamie County about first settlers in Stephensville; It having been announced that a village would be laid off in the town of Ellington, the citizens were asked to vote upon a name for such. village and "Ellington Center" was chosen. Evidently this did not suit many of the citizens there who thereupon suggested the name of "Stevensville." The following names were signed to the paper asking that the name should be changed from Ellington Center to Stephensville: J. D. Van Mick, Peter Prunty, George Huse, Elisha Bissell, Dave Matteson, George F. Nye, Walter Rynders, Richard Brown, John W. McWain, John Ferrell, W. T. Hardacker, Patrick Prunty, James Carle, William T. Traux, P. McKeefry, Joseph B. Barnum, J. G. Daniels, Herman Grunert, Hugh Moore, John McKeever, William McGee, Michael Pure, Julius Greeley, H. J. Diener, Patrick Newcomb, P. H. Pew, B. M. Gurnee, Thomas Caller, Eliob. Farnam, Horatio Heath, Henry Kethroe Isbon S. Smith, W. R. Manley, S. D. Mason, O. P. Peebles, John Nicholas, Jehiel Paxton; Lewis Hare, Ansel Greeley, Edwin Arnold, Edwin Barnes, Ernst Grunert, Charles Grunert, John Welch; Anthony Wallace, Bernard Newcomb, Sloah B. Carley, Henry A. Cooke, Owen Hardy. Chauncey Smith settled in section 16 in 1851-2. John H. Jenne and family came in 1854; Byron M. Gurnee bought land in 1853, but it was two years later when he "cut the first tree and mauled out the rails to fence the first eighty." David and Caleb Matteson entered land in 1848 on which they afterward lived in section 29; Patrick Newcomb came about 1854; Francis Weissenberg and the family of Michael Wunderlich in 1857; William R Manley settled on section 19, removing later to section 28 in 1854. Robert and Henry Manley came about the same time and were probably the first shoemakers Phillip Zimmerman, an infidel, had considerable influence with his neighbors in the southern part of town until he left in the '60s. Nelson B. Draper settled in 1857 on section 27. Michael and John Bungert came about 1854. Charles Thiel and family came 1859. The Lairds came about 1855 to section 1. Jabez B.

  Other Info or Events	Newcomb Family History written in 1956 by Gertrude Woods, revised in 1999 by Thomas J. Newcomb Patrick Newcomb, who married Mary McGillan, died in a convent in Mississippi and is buried in the garden there. He left home without telling anyone where he was going and the family only learned of his whereabouts when the sisters from the convent contacted them. Some of the children went after him and begged him to come home. His reply was, "I will not come back with that woman (Mary) throwing my money around like she is." He had worked as their handyman, asking only for board and room, until he died. The story is that Patrick left a young wife behind in Ireland, promising to send for her later. Later never came, and he married Mary McGillan. It is doubtful that he ever told Mary of the girl back home, if indeed there was such a person. Patrick built St. Patrick's much in the same manner as he built barns: he used heavy squared framing timbers. In 1972, when Father Gehl put a basement under the old church, he commented on how weill it was built. All they had to do was jack up the church and build a basement under it. Tis basement serves today as the parish hall. Up in the attic, the old timbers are still in excellent condition. The church still stands today and is still in use. One of the big deals there is the Sauerkraut Festival and the picnic held in July. After Msgr. Gehl retired, the church was kept open by a nun who was the administrator.
