- Description
This image is from Volume 1 of 100 years of pictorial & descriptive history of Wisconsin Rapids, Wisconsin, while the quoted description is from Volume 2. "The bottom picture was taken about 1894 and shows the residence of Mr. & Mrs. John Dixon. Mrs. Dixon was the real landlord of the Hotel and John helped. "Johnnie" Dixon had a big red cow that earned some reputation for herself and much trouble for Johnnie. You can see her likeness shown on page 43 [83], where she is feeding with the other cows in the grounds that later became Lyon's park. The residence of the Dixon's was a boarding house for many years with the usual run of regular boarders and then Mrs. Dixon branched out for transient trade and did a very fine business. Later with her son Charles, she built the brick hotel and used the dwelling as an annex."
