The chapter on Glenbeulah Village in History of Sheboygan County, Wisconsin, Past and Present, published 1912 names Glenbeulah. This is what it says, exactly as the scans read.
The land upon which Glenbeulah stands was chosen as farms by a Mr. Pool and H. P. Qark. As is the case with Greenbush, the Mullet river flows through a portion of the village. In 1857 settlers and building increased in the locality and that year Stephen and J. T. Dillingham, Edwin Slade and Joseph Swift, having bought land and the water power, put up flouring and sawmill, to which was added a store. In 1859 Edward Appleton and Joseph Swift as agents for a company that had been organized, platted the land into village lots. It was about this time that the Sheboygan & Mississippi railroad was being constructed and in the spring of i860 was completed to Glenbeulah, which for nine years thereafter was the road's western terminus. Here a postoffice was opened, February 7, i860, having been removed from Elkhart. The village was given its name by Mr. Appleton in remembrance of his mother, who first name was Beulah, to which he prefixed Glen.
