         GEORGE D. BREED, farmer, Chilton. Born in Chenango Co., N.Y.,
       Dec. 29, 1839. His parents moved to Walworth Co., Wis., in 1844,
       where they located at East Troy. From thence they went to Roches-
       ter, and later moved to Vienna, where GEORGE attended school. His
       father was a millwright, carpenter and joiner, and when they moved
       to Chilton he was engaged on the second grist mill put up. He
       located on the farm where GEORGE D. now lives, buying eighty acres,
       which lie now wholly within the city limits. In 1858 he commenced
       work, and was the first here to introduce a reaper on his farm.
       In 1864 he enlisted in the 48th Wis. V. I., Co. H.; was mustered
       out in 1865, and returned home the 7th of January, and has given
       his attention to farming since. In politics he has some interest,
       being Chairman of the Republican Convention, Alderman of the 
       Second Ward in 1877-8, and President of the Board; was a Mayor
       of the city in 1879, and is now Alderman; secretary of the Agri-
       cultural Society, and School Clerk for three years. In 1864 he
       married Miss ELIZABETH A. FADNER, of Charleston. They have two
       children, FRANK B. and ALEXANDER K. Mr. BREED was, in 1877, 
       assigned the position of Enrolling Clerk in the House, but
       served on joint committee for enrolling bills as Clerk.
