Endnote:
(1) The Town of Perry is very fortunate to have had a newspapers of its own, this being the Daleyville Doings, a weekly that was published in Daleyville between 1908 and 1918.  It was very rare for such a small community to have had a newspaper of any kind.  More typically, information about such places was to be found in correspondent columns that were published in city and village newspapers in the surrounding area.  Correspondent columns for some Dane County hamlets were also published in newspapers in surrounding counties as well.
