Family William POST, b. 31 May 1819, Wareham, England , d. 17 Oct 1877, Mt. Horeb, Dane, WI

Married 1 Apr 1852 Muskego, Waukesha, WI [6]

William lived at Muskego and was married there in 1852. Ellen Parker, daughter of Luther Parker, Muskego's first settler, mentioned their wedding in her diary.

"April 1, [1852] - Mr. William Post was married today to Miss Esther Johnson. They did not make much of a wedding. The bride was dressed very pretty in a new silk dress brought from England. The dress is still in the family, a wine and silver iridescent taffeta with a pleated inlay at the shoulders. The waist is very tiny, none of her descendants could fit into it."

William bought land in the Town of Vernon near the Old Presbyterian Church (corner of Hywy F and E.S.) where he had a N.W. quarter section. He later sold out and moved to Rutland. They were married by W. D. Peck, Justice of the Peace.
