         CLIFTON
         
         The village of Clifton has a picturesque position on the
       shore of Lake Winnebago, nestling under a high limestone
       cliff. It is the shipping point for this portion of the county,
       and timber and bricks in quantity are annually shipped across 
       the lake. B. F. CARTER and COOK, BROWN & Co. have quite exten-
       sive brick yards. The former is one of the leading men of the 
       county, having represented it in the Legistature several times. 
       A. H. HART was the first permanent settler at Clifton. In the 
       Fall of 1852 RUSSELL PRATT became a resident.
