BURRITT.

Burritt is one of the few townships in Winnebago county, which has no railroad. There are no towns or villages with the single exception of Wenpletown, in the eastern part. A postoffice was formerly located there, but it has been superseded by the rural free deliver y. There is a church in the township on section 14.

Settlements were made in this township at an early date. James Atkinson came from England in 1837. Other pioneers were Thomas J. Atwood, Albert J. Atwood, George A. Atkinson, Edward H. Boomer, Jacob B. Conklin, William Dickinson, Jesse Herrington. Joseph Jennings, William Ludley, and Jefferson Southard
