Oliver Gulickson, alderman, property owner and business man of Barron,
is one of the "live men" of the city. He is progressive, he is a thorough
believer in the future of the county, he is doing what he can to promote 
its welfare, and he holds the respect and esteem of his fellow men. Born in 
Stanley Township, this county, Feb. 24, 1889, he is the son of Andrew and 
Thea Gulickson, natives of Norway, and early settlers of this county. He 
was reared on the home farm, and after passing through the district schools, 
took a three years' course in the Barron high school, moving to this city 
from the farm with the other members of the family when he was about fifteen. 
As a boy he apprenticed himself to L. K. Sather, the merchant tailor, and 
in 1914 bought out the establishment. He does a general tailoring business, 
he owns a pleasant home, and two business blocks on La Salle street.  
Fraternally  he has been through the chairs of the local Odd Fellow lodge, 
and he is also a Mason and a Knight of Pythias. His service as alderman  
dates from 1917.  Mr. Gulickson was married March 30, 1910 to Helga Marie  
Sather, born in St. Paul Sept 19, 1890, daughter of Ludwig K. and Sophia
Sather and they have two children: Harland Andrew, born Dec. 25, 1910 and
Robert Dale, born Dec 31, 1911.
