Trempealeau Municipal Improvements
-As transcribed from page 896
Trempealeau Village was incorporated in the pioneer days. All records were lost in the fire of 1888.
The village was reincorporated March 10, 1900, and A. H. Hoberton
elected president and F. L. Fields, W. Stauge and Thomas Bohen as
trustees. W. A. Bright is the present president, and C. S.
Ford, Ed. Davis, Alfred Kutchera and W. A. Graves as trustees.
The village owns the village hall, which is used for general village
purposes, and the electric light plant. The hall was purchased
from the W. C. T. U. and had previously been used as a reading
room. The electric light service, which is secured by tapping the
lines between the Hatfield Dam and Winona, was installed July 4,
1915. Before this the streets were lighted with kerosene lamps on
corner posts.
The village part was platted for its present purpose when the
surrounding lots were laid out. The band stand therein was
erected about 1888 through the efforts of Dr. C. H. Cutter, and the
members of the band here at that time.
