FRED RING, Jr., ticket agent of the C., M. & St. P. R. R., was born April 24, 
1834, at London, England; received his education at the City of London 
College, and was engaged in the railroad business in England for seven years; 
emigrated to America in 1858, and located in Waukesha, where he was for a 
short time on the swamp land survey, soon afterward entering the employ of the 
Milwaukee & Prairie du Chien Railway. In 1861, he removed to Milwaukee, 
residing there until 1865, when he removed to Prairie du Chien, and for four 
years superintended the railroad elevator at that place. In the spring of 
1869, he removed to La Crosse, and here also superintended the elevator until 
1872, when he became freight and ticket agent. In September, 1880, this 
business had attained such immense proportions, that two agents became a 
necessity and Mr. Ring became ticket agent only. From 1875 to March, 1881, he 
was associated with C. F. Scharpf in the hardware business, but disposed of 
his share to Joseph Tausche.
