General Notes:
Farmer.
"A fourth community in Buena Vista township (Portage Co., Wisconsin) which developed with great hopes but failed the test of time was at Coddington. Its founder, W. ("Wallie") B. Coddington platted a village here. The 1915 plat reveals that this village was to be known as "Pine Island", presumably after several forties of higher ground in the marsh where the pine outgrew the tamarack. However, when a post office was established here in 1912, it was called Coddington, not Pine Island, with Lewis A. Kyers serving as postmaster. In a few years it is doubtful whether anyone will be able to recognize either, as the only evidence of a village here in 1958 was one abandoned store building and a number of foundations for buildings long overgrown with woods." 4522
