J. Vanadenbroek, brought into, this section at that time, all of whom settled at Little Chute, Holland and Depere. over 61 hears ago these hardy pioneers came and made homes on the single Indian trail leading its winding way through dense forests along the banks of the Fox from Green By to Appleton. This trail came up the right bank of the river along what is now Wisconsin avenue in Kaukauna and along the Main street in Little Chute. The first church she worshiped in at her home was a small log cabin, the first primitive church of Wisconsin, which has regularly kept its location and organization.
