View of Breed Main Street.
The store on the right is a general store.  John Ponsegrau bought it from Art Kuehl in the late 1930's.  It is still owned by the family.  The post office was in the store.  The tavern on the left was Flynn Tavern.  Bill Flynn owned it at the time of the picture and was called the North Star Hotel.  Bill Flynn's brother Jim bought the property after. Before TV movies were shown in the upstairs.  The patrons sat on wooded benches.  Dances were also held there. John Ponsegrau's father-in law took the picture post cards

My father was John Ponsegrau, who 
owned and operated the store in Breed,
Wisconsin,  He bought the store in 1938. Most of these pictures were taken by my mother's father, Joseph Seidl.

 Picture of Jonas Hamburg. He is the husband of Mary Johnson.  She was the first child born in the Town of Breed.  He was the owner of a lumber camp that employed residents of the Town of Breed.
His picture and his residence appears in the 1910 Plat Book because he was a patron.
