Note: The second graders paused in our library?s genealogy research area before the photo of Frederic W. Rhinelander. That distinguished gentleman sported a pair of magnificent gray mutton-chop sideburns, a 19th century style so named because their shape ? narrow near the ears and broadly rounded at the jaw line ? were thought to resemble meat chops.

Our city was named after this man, I explained to the class. He was the president of a company building a new railroad from Milwaukee to Lake Superior. Our town was called Pelican Rapids then, but when Mr. Rhinelander agreed to connect us to his railroad, it was renamed to honor him.

The children looked suitably impressed. ?Wow, look at those whiskers, ?one of them said. ?Just think of the mess if he?d tried to eat a double cheese pizza!?

In the local history book ?Our First Hundred Years,? author T.V.Olsen wrote, ?It?s believed that Webster Brown first suggested that the village be named for Frederick William Rhinelander, president of the Milwaukee, Lake Shore and Western Railway. Many years later Walter Brown explained that Mr. Rhinelander was a very wealthy man, and the boys thought that if the town were named after him, he might take some interest in it and help develop it. But he didn?t. He sold the line to the Chicago and Northwestern about ten years later, and disposed of his interests in the West entirely.??

When the first train arrived here on November 9, 1882 it was mainly because the Brown Brothers Lumber Company had contributed half its considerable timber acreage to seal the bargain. No doubt that impressed F.W. Rhinelander more than the naming rights. He never visited ?his? town. Park Avenue was a planet apart from Rhinelander?s simple frame buildings, muddy streets, and future county court house site that was planted in potatoes the year the railroad came to town.

Mr. Rhinelander of New York City came from a long line of English and Dutch merchants, bankers and lawyers renowned for their business enterprise and prominence among old money aristocracy. The Brown brothers might have been surprised to learn he once considered himself ?poor? by comparison to the other families in his circle.

Some forty years earlier, Rhinelander?s immediate family had suffered ?diminished circumstances? when his father, who preferred literature to his account books, died young leaving management of the family properties to his brother. For a time, F.W.?s uncle made himself rich at the expense of his widowed sister-in-law and her children.

F.W.?s oldest sister, Lucretia, would later recount her shame at appearing at her coming-out ball in 1842 dressed in a homemade white tarlatan gown and enduring the martyrdom of dancing on toes pinched into her mother?s hand-me-down satin slippers.

Two years later Lucretia was adorning herself in furs, feathers and satin bonnets from Paris as Mrs. George Frederic Jones, having married well despite being one of ?the poor Rhinelander girls.? That particular Jones family actually spawned the phrase ?keeping up with the Joneses? by kicking off a flurry of mansion building up and down the Hudson River in the years immediately before the Civil War.

Lucretia and George Frederic Jones produced three children; Frederic, Harry and Edith. The two brothers were 16 and 11 years old when Edith Newbold Jones was born in 1862. Lucretia?s favorite sister Mary Elizabeth Rhinelander and her husband Thomas H. Newbold were sponsors at the baby girl?s christening.

F.W. Rhinelander was named Edith?s godfather. The pair became especially close after her father?s death in 1882, the same year that folks in the Wisconsin wilderness who needed a railroad named their town for Uncle Fred.

On April 29, 1885, Edith emerged from her mother?s West Twenty-fifth Street house and crossed the street to Trinity Chapel on the arm of F.W. Rhinelander. There she wed Edward R. ?Teddy? Wharton, a friend of her brother Harry who was thirteen years her senior.

Edith Newbold Jones Wharton had, in acquiring a socially acceptable husband, achieved a woman?s highest aspiration according to the dictates of the patriarchal Old New York Society. With Teddy at her side, Edith became immersed even more deeply in a culture noted for its manners, taste, snobbishness, and long list of social do's and don?ts. But she refused to drown, choosing instead to swim against the current.

Edith Wharton was a keen observer, a unique storyteller and a talented writer. First published in 1890, her satirical fiction exposed the pretentiousness and emptiness of New York?s changing aristocracy. Wharton became the student and friend of Henry James who, when she sent him a letter bemoaning her unhappy marriage, replied: "Keep making the movements of life."

She won critical acclaim both at home and in Europe as ?the Jane Austin of America? with the publication of ?Ethan Frome? in 1911. After divorcing Teddy in 1913 Edith lived mainly in France. She reached the pinnacle of her career in 1921 as the first women ever awarded a Pulitzer Prize for her novel ?The Age of Innocence.?

Edith Wharton?s stories about New York Society were included among the first volumes purchased for the shelves of Rhinelander?s new library. No doubt they were eagerly read by townsfolk who remained unaware of the author?s connection to the man with the mutton-chop whiskers.
