He does general repairing of all kinds and handles a good line of accessories. The village is well located for such a business, and Mr. Coleman is making the most of his opportunities. He was born in Juneau County, this state, April 6, 1882, son of William and Effie (Wright) Coleman. He was brought to Washburn County, just over the line from Barron County, in 1885, and was there reared. He attended the district school at Brill, and helped at home with the farm work. In 1904 he became a stationary engineer. This line he successfully followed until 1919 when he opened his present establishment. Mr. Coleman married Angie Coleman, born at Mauston, Wis., daughter of Frank and Carrie (St. Clair) Coleman, the former of whom is dead and the latter of whom still lives at that place. Mr. and Mrs. Harry Coleman have five children: Nine, Grace, Effie, Arnold and Ester Lilly. --Taken from History of Barron Co., Wisconsin, H. C.
