J. F. WILSON.  The subject of this sketch was born in Candia, N. H., and at the 

age of four years came with his father's family to Illinois and settled in the 

eastern part of Will County.  Subsequently the family removed to Joliet 

Township and in 1862 he came to Joliet. His first start in business life was in 

the organization of the firm of G. Munroe & Son, general merchants, with whom 

he remained for four years.  Subsequently was engaged for three years

in the manufacture and sale of agricultural implements.  Entering the office of 

the Joliet Iron & Steel Company, he was made acting secretary of the company in 

1877, and upon its reorganization as the Joliet Steel Company in 1879 became 

office manager and assistant to the general superintendent.  He continued in 

this capacity until appointed auditor of the Illinois Steel Company in

1891, which position is held by him at the present time.  Mr. Wilson is an 

active, progressive businessman, and has added many important improvements in 

the business methods of his company.
