Arthur P. Stebbins, one of the leading business men of Barron, proprietor
of an up-to-date drug store, was born at Coudersport, Penn., May 13, 1880,
son of Edward M. and Mary T. (Clapp) Stebbins, the former of English
descent, and later of English-Huguenot stock. The family came to Barron
from Pennsylvania in 1891, and here the father engaged in woodworking for
the remainder of his life. Arthur P. Stebbins started his education in
Pennsylvania, and was 11 years of age when he came to Barron, where he
continued his schooling. In 1902 he entered Northwestern University as a
student in the pharmacy course and was graduated in 1904. In June of the
latter year he took a position with Frank Danielson of Cumberland, Wis., as
drug clerk and later was with a drug house in Superior, Wis. After two
years' practical experience, on May 28, 1906, he became proprietor of his
present business in Barron. He has a fine store at the corner of LaSalle
and Third streets, and keeps an ample stock of pure drugs, stationery,
school supplies, and other lines of merchandise customary in the trade. He
is enjoying a good patronage and is the owner of a good residence on South
Fifth Street. Fraternally, he belongs to the local lodges of Masons and
Knights of Pythias. Politically, he is a Democrat. Mr. Stebbins was married
Sept. 5, 1914, to Louise T. Ticknor, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John C.
Ticknor, of Menomonie, Wis, in which city she was born Sept. 20, 1890. A
graduate of Stout Institute, she was for some time before her marriage a
teacher of domestic science in the public schools of her native city. Mr.
and Mrs. Stebbins are members of the Episcopal church in Barron, which the
former has served for some years as warden and treasurer. They have one
child, Joan, who was born Feb. 16, 1916.
