  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.
