Combine Swanton (town)? edit

I came across this page while trying to correct a disambiguation page link concerning a late 19th century missionary school, and can't seem to solve the issue quickly. Frankly, I'm not sure why there are pages for both Swanton (town) and Swanton (village) since the village is within the town, and neither is extensive. Is the town really a county, with rivalry between the Native Americans outside the village? The French missionary order whose page I was trying to correct arrived circa 1890, so presumably there was some industrialization or something else going on in the area around then, but neither page's history section mentions it. I was fascinated that the village embraces the fraudster Lou Blonger, whose family left the village before the civil war, seeking a better life mining lead in Wisconsin! But I have other things to do today, so I'll just post a corresponding note on the village page.Jweaver28 (talk) 18:37, 7 April 2014 (UTC)Reply
