Wisconsin Veterans' Home: Wisconsin not only originated the idea of national homes for the needy and feeble volunteers, but it was the first state in the Union to establish a home where soldiers who were no longer able to earn their way were provided for, and where they could take their aged wives. This institution is known as The Wisconsin Veterans' Home, and is located near one of the Chain of Lakes, a few miles form the city of Waupaca, in Waupaca county. The fall of 1886 Colonel J. H. Woodnorth, the present commandant of the home, then a resident of Waupaca, was in Milwaukee and had a conversation with Doctor F. A. Marden, who had been surgeon of the national home near Milwaukee, on the home subject. The matter was brought before the department encampment, which body readily approved the idea, and a committee consisting of ex-soldiers, F.A. Marden, James Cumberledge, A. O. Wright, Benjamin T. Bryant and J. H. Marston, who at once entered upon their duties, and the following August selected the present site for the home. It contained sixty-eight acres, to which twelve acres have been added since, upon which there was a building and six small cottages, used for a summer resort. These buildings were prepared for winter as well as summer use, being furnished by the Grand Army of the Republic, the Women's Relief Corps and individuals, when inmates were received. Legislation had been obtained whereby the state would pay $3 per week for each inmate in the home. On the 16th day of November, 1887, the home was ready for inmates, and within a month fifty people has been entered upon the rolls."
