Julius Geroy, farmer, P. O. Lochiel, Dunn county, is a son of French parents 
and was born in Canada, February 7, 1823. He was obliged to strike out for 
himself at the age of twelve years by working on a farm by the year.  This 
he continued to do until September 8, 1846, when he married, in Canada, Miss 
Julia Trickey.  They have two children living:  Sarah S., married to George 
Downing, and Shubal H., who married Beatrice Proper, and live on a farm 
adjoining that of our subject.  Mr. Geroy remained in Canada, farming until 
1862, when he concluded to try his fortune in the United States.  He came 
direct to Dunn county, Wis., and settled on his homestead of 160 acres on 
section fourteen.  He has since added eighty acres, and has that number 
improved, and has a large amount of stock.  He was one of the first settlers 
in his township, has opened up a splendid farm and can now enjoy the fruit of 
his labors.  In politics he is a stanch republican, but has never accepted any 
office, either township or county, except that of roadmaster.  Both he and his 
wife are members of the Methodist Episcopal church.
