Taken from Chapter XLI, page 1079, of The History of Green County, Wisconsin: "Pervine Atwood is the largest land owner in the town of Spring Grove. He was born in the State of Indiana, Sept. 27, 1822. His father, Arillious Atwood, removed his family in 1828 to Edgar Co., Ill., settling in the squatter village of Paris, now the county seat of that county. Again, in 1843, he removed to White Co., Ill., where he died in 1849. His wife died later in Clay Co., Kansas. One son, brother of P. Atwood, now lives in Walla Walla, Washington Territory. The subject of this sketch in the spring of 1845 went to Oregon and remained until the spring of 1847. He then went to California and lived there until the fall of 1850; then he returned east, and settled in Spring Grove, buying 240 acres of land, 160 of it on section 14, where he improved a farm. In July, 1852, Mr. Atwood was married to Martha Jane Oneall, daughter of Robert Oneall. To them were born twelve children, of whom four daughters and three sons are now living—James P., Robert E., Freddie O., Mary Viola, Emma Rhoda, Sarah Rebecca and Jessie Belle. Mrs. Atwood died Nov. 22, 1882, aged fifty years. Mr. Atwood, during his first twelve years of residence here, bought at different times of different persons adjoining lands, until at one time he owned 1,300 acres. He has at this time (1884) a farm of 800 acres, all under fence. From 1866 to 1876 he rented his lands and lived in Brodhead. He is one of the public spirited citizens of the town, and second to no one in pushing enterprises advantageous to the public good."
