History of Reedsburg and the Upper Baraboo Valley, by Merton Edwin Krug, Publ. February 1929 by the author. Printed by Democrat Printing Company, Madison, Wis., Page 373-374

The first settlements in the vicinity of Hillpoint, if we except Gilbert WHELLER, who has already been mentioned, were made by David BOLAND and Mr. LUMMNEY, who followed him within a short time. These two men took up adjoining farms, Mr. BOLAND's lying farthest north. In 1866 he purchased a small tract of land south of the LUMMNEY place, now the KOHLMEYER farm, and erected a saw-mill on a branch of Narrows Creek that flowed through the tract. This was during the years of the hop boom and the sawing of hop-slats was the first done at the mill. Mr. BOLAND operated the mill until 1869, when it was discontinued. While Hillpoint is not an incorporated village, it is a thriving little inland hamlet today, with a creamery business that is famous throughout the state, for the excellent quality of its butter, it having won the highest score at the Dairy Show at Milwaukee in 1928. The creamery is an incorporated business, a stock company, and Mr. Henry KOHLMEYER, ranks high in official capacity.
