         WILLIAM H. MOWER, merchant and farmer, Gilmanton, was
       born in Walworth County in 1844 and in 1856 went to Eau 
       Claire with his father, who was engaged in the lumber 
       business. The subject of this sketch, although only a boy, 
       drove the first stake in surveying the city of Eau Claire, 
       and also run the first ferry-boat across the Chippewa River
       at that point. In 1861 he enlisted in the late war, in the 
       16th Wis., Co. G, V. I., serving until August of 1865. He 
       was married in 1880 to the widow of D. C. LOOMIS, of Gilmanton.
