John & Louise Dixon
JOHN DIXON, well known in Buffalo and vicinity, was born on the old homestead in Frankfort township, April 2, 1857, son of James Dixon, the pioneer. John located on a farm in section 8, Rockford township, where he farmed 160 acres for fifteen years. His was a true pioneer venture. When he moved onto the tract it was entirely covered with timber. He cut off the wood and brought the land under cultivation, living in the meantime in a small frame house and sheltering his stock in a log barn. Later these buildings were replaced with more modern structures. A bar, 44 x 80 feet, which he constructed, was, when it was new, one of the very finest in the county. It was on November 20, 1903, that Mr. Dixon and his good wife moved onto lot 24, which included lots 9, 10, and 11, on the picturesque banks of Lake Pulaski. A brick house which has stood on the place had been remodeled and renovated and put in proper shape to be opened as a first-class summer hotel. Guests began to flock to the place faster than they could be accommodated. Mr. Dixon enlarged his park to some eighteen acres by purchasing lots 8 and 12, and provided his increasing patronage by erecting six cottages, a good barn and dancing pavilion 36 x 74 feet, with a garage underneath. Boats of various descriptions and other attractions were also secured. Business continued to prosper until the venture assumed larger proportions than Mr. and Mrs. Dixon cared to handle.
Consequently on May 1, 1913, they sold out to other parties, retaining however, a small tract of land on which to erect a private residence for themselves. This tract consists of lot 17 and seventeen acres besides, on which he has erected a building which he intends to equip with cottage apartments. Mr. Dixon, on coming to buffalo village, purchased the Heiller property. He has remodeled the residence, installed a hot water heating plant and made other extensive improvements.
John Dixon was married January 17, 1889, to Louise A. Ehlhardt, and they have five children: James, on the old farm section 8, June, Chester, Francis at home, and Charles, deceased. The daughter is a teacher. Louise A. (Ehlhardt) Dixon was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, December 11, 1862, daughter of Adam and Ernestina (Frederick) Ehlhardt, and granddaughter of Herman and Catherine Ehlhardt and Gotlieb and Sophia Frederick. Herman Ehlhardt was the head of a family that came from Hesse, Germany, and located in Milwaukee. He was a cooper by trade. His son Adam was nineteen years of age when the family arrived in this country. Gotlieb Frederick brought his family from Saxony, Germany, and located in Milwaukee, where, after working for a while at his trade as a baker, he became a farmer. Adam and Ernestina (Frederick) Ehlhardt had thirteen children: Louise A. (Mrs. John Dixon), Herman, Amanda, Emily, Emma, Jacob, Helen, Ida, Ella (deceased), Alma, Fred, and two who died in infancy..
