         WESTERN UNION JUNCTION.
    Is situated at the junction of the Western Union and Chicago,
Milwaukee and St. Paul Railroads, on sec 21, Town 3, Range 22,
East. Seven miles west of Racine, twenty-three miles south of Mil-
waukee and sixty one miles from Chicago, was commenced as a business
place in the year 1872. The grounds upon which the depot is built
were purchased from Mr. H. Johnson, who, settled in the country
when it was comparatively new, coming from Schuyler, Herkimer Co.,
N. Y. in 1844. Shortly after the depot and other Railroad buildings
were erected, Mr. Johnson commenced the building of the "Johnson

into
the market, readily disposed of several lots,upon which are now erect-
