Abstract:

Liquidation proceedings and related evidence pertaining to the First Wisconsin Land Mortgage Association, a land mortgage association involved in real estate sales and mortgages for settlement of cut-over land in Chippewa, Eau Claire, Rusk, Sawyer, and Taylor counties. The records consist of a small amount of actual proceedings; corporate records including minutes, lists of stockholders, and agreements with the Chippewa Valley and Wisconsin Colonization companies; general correspondence with land agents, local bankers, the association's creditors, the state treasurer and commissioner of banking, and some mortgage holders; special correspondence, most of which dates from the association's bankruptcy in 1928 and pertains to the collection of outstanding loans; loan applications; and miscellaneous records consisting primarily of financial records, plat books and maps, and field trip reports of agents.
