  FRANKLIN H. BACHELLER, born May 1, 1847, in St. Lawrence county, New York, and now living on 100 acres in section 34, Deer Creek township, Outagamie county, Wisconsin, is a son of Eason and Lucina (Gray) Bacheller, natives of New York who came to Wisconsin in 1851. They first settled in Fond du Lac county, but a few years later moved to Chilton, Calumet county, and a short time thereafter to Jefferson county, where Mrs. Bacheller died in September, 1875, aged fifty-eight years. Her husband passed away while visiting in Chilton, in December, 1885, aged seventy-eight years, and both are buried in the cemetery at Fort Atkinson, Jefferson county. Franklin H. Bacheller was the fourth of a family of six children, and always lived with his parents. He was married in November, 1868, to Miss Emma J. Dixon, daughter of John and Emma (Welton) Dixon, natives of England and Connecticut, respectively. They were married in New York and came to Wisconsin in 1848, settling in Chilton, Calumet county, where Mrs. Dixon died February 15, 1881, aged fifty-six years. Mr. Dixon then sold his farm and moved to Outagamie county, where his death occurred November 15, 1893, when he was sixty-three years old, and both he and his wife are buried in the Chilton Cemetery. Mr. Dixon enlisted for service in the Union army in 1863, becoming a member of Company B, Fourteenth Regiment, Wisconsin Volunteer Infantry, and was mustered out as a corporal, after participating in all the battles in which his regiment and company took part. He was a member of Starkweather Post, No. 51, of Welcome, and was also connected with the Masonic fraternity, being buried under the auspices of that order. Mrs. Bacheller was born September 8, 1848, and was the eldest of a family of four children. She and Mr. Bacheller had two children: Franklin J., who married Charlotte Rand, now lives with his father and has five children; and Mary A., who married Edward Roloff, lives in Marshfield, Wood county, and has three children. After his marriage, Mr. Bacheller lived in Jefferson county, working for his father until 1875, when he bought 160 acres in Deer Creek township, Outagamie county, of which he later sold sixty acres. He is one of the self-made men of this community, his possessions when he started on this place being his ax and a cow, but as he became financially able he added to his stock and equipment and built himself better and more commodious buildings. His first house and barn was located on one of the tracts which he sold and he was compelled to build another residence, which was destroyed by fire in 1885, at which time he erected his present home, which has been remodeled since that time. In 1894 he erected a barn, 36x100 feet. He has seventy acres under cultivation, all fenced with barbed wire, and has built a number of outbuildings to house his stock, grain, machinery and poultry in. General farming and stock raising have been his chief occupations, and he also markets dairy products, hogs and some grain. He has graded cattle and Poland China hogs. In politics Mr. Bacheller is a Republican, and he has served as clerk of the school board for several years. With his family he attends the Methodist Episcopal Church at Welcome.
