Lincoln County
Heritage
Lincoln County has a lot to offer. It was created by the
Wisconsin Legislature in 1874. In the beginning, Lincoln County
included most of Oneida and Vilas Counties as well as parts of
Langlade, Taylor, Price and Iron Counties. Lincoln County reached
its' present size in 1885.
The early progress of Lincoln County is synonymous with the
growth of the logging industry. The pines and virgin hardwood
forests attracted loggers from far and wide. As operations grew,
settlements sprang up bringing the retail stores and other business
places. In clearing the forest, the lumbermen were opening the way
for the farmer.
There is not a lot of information about Gleason on the
Web.
This cemetery holds a lot of History, I myself will be spending
some time exploring this area.
