The evidence

• “Our subject's parents were natives of central New York. The father first came to Wisconsin in 1849 and taught school near Caledonia one year. He then went back East, but in 1854 returned and bought the partially improved farm of 120 acres in Clinton township, on which he made his permanent home and reared his family.”
