Stickney Plat Filed August 17, 1905
The original plat for the Town of Stickney was filed on August 17, 1905. A man named T. S. Siniser sold the land, which is now Stickney, to David G. Glenn, on May 18, 1885. After the land had passed through several hands, S. R. and Mamie Woods obtained 109 acres, sold it to C. E. Floete on May 25, 1905.
Stickney originally consisted of nine blocks, two strips of three blocks north of Main Street, one strip of three blocks south of Main, running east and west.
Railroad street (north and south) was the west boundary.
Mr. Floete, representing the Milwaukee Land Company, turned the land over on June 14, 1905.
John O. Wallace, a deputy state surveyor, surveyed the original town of Stickney. Main Street was to be 100 feet wide. Railroad street was to be 50 feet wide, all other streets and avenues to be 60 feet wide, and alleys 20 feet wide.
Mr. and Mrs. Ray O'Brien held the abstract to the original Siniser property, the same lots bought by Julius J Kissman in 1906, who built a house there. The O' Briens house was taken down in the 1990's and a new house, owned by Mary Koenig was placed on the block where three houses were razed, including the O'Brien house. The lot is now vacant at the corner of North Forth Street, and North Second Avenue.
