         JOHN W. WHELAN, lawyer, Mondovi, was born in Waukesha
       County, Nov. 1, 1845. Here he received a common school 
       education, and in 1866 entered upon a collegiate course 
       in the State University. He was a graduate of that insti-
       tution in the class of 1871. In 1872, he went to New 
       Orleans, where he remained one year, after which he went
       to Ft. Worth, Texas, where he read law with JUDGE BARKLEY 
       for one and a half years. He then returned to the North, 
       in the Winter of 1874, teaching school at Cedar Creek. In 
       the Spring of 1875, went to Eau Claire, where he studied 
       law with ELLIS & DAVIS, and was admitted to the Bar in the 
       Circuit Court on the 5th of April, 1876. He opened his first
       office at Mondovi in the Fall of the same year, where he 
       has practiced ever since. He was married in April, 1878, at 
       Mondovi, to Miss ANNA ALLEN, who was born in Saratoga Co., 
       N. Y.
