WILLIAM S. BURROUGHS, attorney and counselor at law, was born in Shalerville, 
Portage Co., Ohio, July 7, 1837. His father, Ira Burroughs, was by occupation 
a farmer. In 1855, he, together with his parents, removed to Illinois, where 
farming was still pursued. In 1857, Mr. Burroughs came to La Crosse and 
entered the law firm of Denison & Lyndes, as a student. He studied law with 
this firm until the spring of 1859, when he was admitted to the bar, after 
which he returned to his parents in Illinois, and after remaining there a 
short time, he went to St. Louis, where he spent part of the years 1860 and 
1861, returning again to La Crosse in the summer of 1861. In November of that 
year, he entered into partnership with Mr. Lyndes, of the old firm of Denison 
& Lyndes, Mr. Denison having been killed through the arising of a dispute, 
while fishing at Mormon Coolley, in the summer of 1859. This partnership 
existed until the first of May, 1876, when it was dissolved, since which time 
he has continued practice alone.
