At the election in November, 1861, the form and manner of the county government was changed, at which time a supervisor was elected for each of the five assembly districts. The result was as follows :

Before the election in the fall of 1866, the county was divided into six dis¬ tricts instead of five. A supervisor at large was added, increasing the county board to seven members and one half the members were elected every year. Under this plan the county board was composed of the following members :

Gustave de Neven, at large; Henry Wright, first district; William Thomp¬ son, second; James Ewen, third; E. H. Galloway, fourth ; A. Walters, fifth; J. E. Meiklejohn, sixth.

Gustave de Neven, at large; A. M. Skeels, first district; B. H. Bettis, sec¬ ond; James Ewen, third; E. H. Galloway, fourth; A. Walters, fifth; Joseph Wagner, sixth.

E. H. Galloway, at large; A. M. Skeels, first district; A. J. Yorty, second; Hannibal Woodworth, third; S. A. Chase, fourth; A. Walters, fifth; Joseph Wagner, sixth.

The county board was at this time changed back to the "town principle" of representation, the first election being held in April, 1870, and has since continued in that form. The different boards have been as follows :

Fond du Lac, first ward, S. S. Bowers; second, John Hughes; third, A. B. Taylor; fourth, William M. Phelan; fifth, Peter Stephany; sixth, N. Davis;
