"The Dakota Sioux originated the name of "Spirit Lake" referring to it as "The Lake of The Spirit."

 In 1856, three brothers-in-law created the town of Spirit Lake after a visit to the Lakes area piqued their interest. The three brothers-in-law, O.C. Howe, B.F. Parmenter, and R.U. Wheelock, were soon joined by various other settlers, making homes along the lakes' shores.

These settlers however, did not get along peacefully with the natives, and on March 13, 1857 Chief Inkpaduta of the Sioux led a revolt against the non-native settlers, killing all but four women."

Micah Soule

Birthdate: April 12, 1711
Birthplace: Duxbury, Plymouth County, Massachusetts, United States
Death: November 04, 1778 (67)
Duxbury, Plymouth County, Massachusetts, United States
Place of Burial: Duxbury, Plymouth County, Massachusetts, United States
Immediate Family:

Son of Josiah Soule and Lydia Soule (Delano)


"Delano made a large fortune trading opium in Canton (now Guangzhou), China. He first went to China at age 24 to work for Russell & Company, which had pioneered trading with China. John Perkins Cushing – also a Russell & Company partner – had preceded Delano and initiated a close relationship with a Chinese official called Howqua. The two men had established an offshore base – an anchored floating warehouse – where Russell & Company ships would offload their opium contraband before continuing up the Pearl River Delta to Canton with their legal cargo.

By early 1843, Delano had spent a momentous decade in the China trade. He had achieved his financial competence and risen to become the head partner of the biggest American firm dealing with China. He had witnessed the destruction of the hated Canton system, the humiliation of the Chinese government, and the creation of New China.

In the 1850s, Delano, along with his brother Franklin and Asa Packer (the builder of the Lehigh Valley Railroad and founder of Lehigh University), headed a land company that purchased several thousand acres and established the town of Delano, Pennsylvania.


Delano lost much of his fortune in the Panic of 1857. In 1960, he returned to China, except this time he went to Hong Kong where he rebuilt his fortune. During the U.S. Civil War, Delano shipped opium to the Medical Bureau of the U.S. War Department."


"A descendant of Philip Delano (a Pilgrim who arrived in Plymouth, Massachusetts in 1621)"
