Geo. M. Breed, postmaster at Breed, and chairman-elect of the new town of Waupee, was one of the first settlers in that part of Oconto county. With his wife and two babies he moved to his present home eleven years ago, and had to cut seven miles of  road to get there. He also carried the mail without charge for one year to get a post office established. Now he has many good neighbors and rejoices in a town organization and the success of the republican ticket.
