Notes for Peter Jacob SYLLA
From http://trempealeau.wigenweb.org/histories/100indep...ytradingcenters.htm:
Russell, commonly referred to as Russell's Store, is located at the intersection of Highways 21 on V in Chimney Rock Township, about eight miles northwest of Independence. It is in an area where good farms abound.
The store was started by a Mr. Melsness probably in the 1870's. It also served as a postal station from 1899 to 1905. John Jensen was the next owner who in turn sold it to Mr. and Mrs. Peter Sylla who ran it from 1921 to 1969. Thereafter, Mr. and Mrs. Dominic Roskos operated the store until they closed it in 1975.
In the earlier days a cheese factory was located near the store. Exact dates of its existence and original owner's name are not known. John Jensen operated the plant until 1921 when Peter Sylla assumed ownership.
