OCONTO COUNTY PIONEERS

Please keep in mind that the Oconto County Reporter was a staunchly politically Republican Party newspaper and these sentiments were strongly presented in this 106 year old series of biographies, other county publications of the time supported different views.

Where Did they go??

They once resided here
but are now scattered, but not forgotten.
The following is a list of Early settlers of Oconto and Oconto county who have sought homes in other portions of the united states.
