Dwelle, Glenn M. (page 599), well known in Minnesota and Wisconsin as a
telephone man, president and manager of the Dwelle Telephone Co., and the
Lake Pepin Telephone Co., and the Lake Pepin Telephone Co., was born in
Lake City, this county, March 3, 1875, son of G. Merrill and Julia
(Patton) Dwelle. He received a good education in the Lake City public
schools, and as a young man was employed in a clerical capacity in the
general mercantile business. In 1897 he inaugurated public local telephone
service in this county by establishing central exchanges at Lake City and
Wabasha, with home and business telephones in the homes and business
houses of these two cities and the surrounding rural districts. In 1905
his father became a partner, and in 1906 the company was incorporated as
the Dwelle Telephone Co. And the lines extended. Later he became
interested in the Lake Pepin Telephone Co., operating in Pierce and Pepin
Counties, Wisconsin, with central exchange at Pepin, Maiden Rock and Plum
City. In 1917, the Dwelle Telephone Co. Erected a fine modern exchange at
Lake City. This building, constructed of pressed brick, is well equipped
in every respect and will be adequate for its increasing business for
years to come. Mr. Dwelle is an active citizen, and has taken his share in
the development of the Lake Pepin region. Mr. Dwelle was married September
7, 1899, to Mary Satori, daughter of Joseph and Bertha Satori, early
settlers of this county. This union has been blessed with four children:
Joseph Merrill, born March 29, 1901, a graduated of the Lake City High
School; Florence Lucille, born June 15, 1903; Bertha Mary, born July 12,
1906; and Margaret Julia, born September 28, 1909. The family residence is
a neat structure at 422 South Oak Street.
