The Centennial History of Oconto County Written by RICHARD HALL Published in 1876 Oconto County Reporter
In common with other lumbermen of that time this firm becameinvolved.SAYERS interest was devested by foreclosure and GARDNER,after a longstruggle became sole owner. In 1856 (as nearly as I canlearn) Mr. A.C.CONN became a manager for GARDNER. In 1862 CONN becamebecame a partnerand the firm was long and favorably known as CONN &GARDNER. Mr. CONNresided at Little Suamico with his family, exercisinga large and healthyinfluence. The firm steadily grew stronger and wereamong the first.Their mill was enlarged to a capacity of 70,000 perday.
Mr. GARDNER resided at Milwaukee. In Sept. 1874 CONN & GARDNER soldtoOLESON, WINANS & CO., who are the present owners. This mill isnowdevoted mainly to shingle making, cutting about 150,000 shinglesand10,000 feet of lumber daily.
Messrs. CONN & GARDNER had built a substantial store, boarding houseanddwelling house a large and valuable tank and apparatus forextinguishingfires, a tram-road to the Bay, docks for loading lumberand othervaluable structures. Mr. CONN afterwards built a large millin Floridaand has removed there and Mr. GARDNER died early in 1975.
CONN & GARDNER desired to obtain exclusive control of the streamaslumbermen. They wee not able to do so. The excellent quality ofthetimber soon induced others to seek and gain a foothold.
