Description
Wylie baseball team. Each community had a team and played the neighboring town's team.
The Wylie Cooperage factory and the small company village of Wylie were both located on Duck Lake just north of the State Park. They made barrels, between 1897 and about 1914, of the hard woods remaining after the Pine forests were lumbered off . A spur of the M&NE brought logs to the factory and the knocked down staves, heads and hoops were shipped out on the railroad. Many barrels went to the Chicago meat packing plants.
