The caravan conâ€" sisted of nine teams, two of them being fourâ€"horse covered wagons. They drove a number of cows thus keeping themselves supplied ‘with milk on the way. After many diffiâ€" culties, trials and discouragements on the journey, they finally arrived at the Beverly swamp. Here the company was compelled to remain for two weeks in order to give the men time to make the road passable for the heavily loaded wagons. Where Doon now is, a house was built, and in this place a girl was born on April 24th, 1800, to John Biehn and his beautiful wife, being the first white child dorn in Watâ€" erloo County.
