Capt. J. M. MOTT, born in Oneida Co., N.Y., Feb. 15, 1818, came to 
Menomonie in 1860, and was in the employ of Knapp, Stout & Co. until the 
war of the Rebellion, when he raised a company and was commissioned 
captain, going to the front and gallantly leading his men up to the time 
and through the battle of Gettysburg, in July 1863, when completely 
exhausted, he had to relinquish his command, and soon afterward died, in 
Frederick, Md., at the age of forty-five.
