Historical email response to a thread to be printed and included with the item. Below is an excerpt

by bourbonv - Mon Nov 26, 2007

I received an email from a person who has been reading a thread about Mary Dowling and Dowling Bros. He said he did not want to reveal his name or email but that I could post information if I wish. I have copied the email and removed revealing information but I do want people to know that this is their information and to give credit where credit is due. Here is the email:

In the late 1800s and early 1900s my great-grandfather worked for Dowling (I have always been told he was a distiller for him, but have been unable to document his specific job). At one point or another,...

Mr. Dowling died in the early 1900s ... Mary Dowling bought out the other heirs & continued to run the business. When prohibition started Mrs. Dowling tried to convince my g-grandfather to move to
Juarez, Mexico to start up the W/F distillery there (to make medical alcohol)....

Distillers such as Dowling, Ripy, Hoffman, Waterfill, Frazier, Bond, Hanks, Lillard, Saffell, etc. were all part of Lawrenceburg's Guilded Age. Their distilleries grew during the 1870s-90s. It was truly a time characterized by great wealth and extreme poverty, with little in between. Not to paint all of these people with the same broad brush, but the "every man for himself" attitude, excess, and opulence characteristic of the time seems consistent with descriptions of many of their lifestyles. The street on which several of them lived was euphemistically known as "Cream Street." They threw lavish parties. One I have been told about involved having black "servants" fan them with palm leaves as they dined at the table. Several became alcoholics.

All of this ended with prohibition. I've been told that 70% of Anderson County's male population left when prohibition began. Farmers who provided grain were also harmed. While some of these distillers came back after prohibition, my impression is that they never recovered their pre-prohibition wealth and status. Their neo-renaissance homes and conspicuously large monuments in the local cemetery are all that remain.

I think this is interesting information and I hope you enjoy this as much as I do.

People Helping People pulled together this basket of goodies. Includes: Two bottles of wine Pinot Grigio and Pinot Gris, pretzels, table crackers, sausage, cheese spread, chocolate almonds and chocolate peanut clusters, two wine glasses.

On a chilly winter morning in 2012, Bill Harris, the founder of People Helping People, watched a group of homeless men leave the Baraboo Warming Center and walk down the street with nowhere to go and nothing to do. He envisioned creating an entry-level job-training program where they could learn a skill, get jobs and support themselves.
PHP volunteers redoubled their fundraising efforts and were able to buy and renovate a modest headquarters building in downtown Baraboo in 2015. With help from the Wisconsin Department of Workforce Development, PHP has put together its job-training curriculum and has been teaching clients how to detail cars since August of 2016.
