THE WELL-KNOWN and able editor the Litchfield News-Ledger, W. D. Joubert, is a
native of Fon du Lac county, Wis., born in September, 1852. His parents were
Stephen and Elizabeth Joubert; the father of French descent, but born in
Montreal, Canada, and the mother a native of New York. Stephen Joubert was a
carpenter by trade. He was one of the pioneers of Hudson, Wis., but is now a
resident of Traverse county, Minn.

   W. D. Joubert had but little schooling advantages, until he was nine years of
age, but from that time until he was fifteen, the most of his time was spent in
school. When he was fifteen he began life on his own account and began learning
the printer's trade with Daggett & Rose, at Wabasha, Minn. He remained with them
for three years and then went to LaCrosse, Wis. Later we find him at
Minneapolis, where, for several months, he worked on the Minneapolis News, then
edited by George K. Shaw. From there, in April, 1872, with Frank Daggett, the
man under whom he had learned his trade, he came to Litchfield, and started the
Litchfield Ledger, which has since become the News- Ledger.

   Mr. Joubert was married December 3, 1881, to Miss Ida Kline, of Kingston,
Meeker county. They now have one child—Ethel, who is five years of age. Mr.
Joubert is a member of the Masonic fraternity, having joined the Golden Fleece
Lodge in 1873, and is quite active in promoting the interests of the
organization. He is also a member of the fire company, and was one of the
principal workers in getting that organization established. Besides these he is
a member of the military company, and was one of the charter members of the
dramatic association, which was organized in 1873. Mr. Joubert is a staunch
republican in political faith, and is recognized as one of the ablest editorial
writers on political questions in this part of the State.
