       Oct. 7, 1843. His father, being a farmer, his younger years 
       were passed in country life. In 1856, his father moved to 
       Calumet County, town of Brillion. At this early day he en-
       dured many hardships. He and Nugent built the first mill 
       there, and the village was laid cut on a part of his farm. 
       Having lived to accomplish this he died in 1860. J. E.then 
       went to lumbering, but receiving an injury, he turned his 
       attention to teaching school and studying law. About this 
       period of his life he attended Madison University, but in 
       1864, enlisted in the Student's Regiment, 40th Wis. V. I. 
       After being mustered out he went to Manitowoc County, and 
       filled the position of principal in the First Ward School. 
       He was graduated at the Ann Arbor Law School, in 1868, and
       came to Chilton and commenced practice. In 1868, he was 
       elected District Attorney, which position he held for ten 
       years, and in 1880, the citizens elected him Mayor. He is 
       now attending his law practice and dealing in real estate 
       and is acting as attorney for the Calumet County Insurance 
       Company. In 1871, he married Miss CLARA EBERT, of Chilton.
       Their children are COLLIN E., WILLIAM D., CORINNE, CLARA L.
