PROF. J. J. CLEVELAND, Principal of the First Ward School of La Crosse; has 
been in his present position since the spring of 1877. He was born in Boston, 
Mass., in 1847; son of Henry C. Cleveland, who removed to New York City in 
1854, and died there in 1860. Oct. 1, 1861, Mr. Cleveland enlisted in the 10th 
Conn. V. I., Co. K, and was in the service three years and four months. He was 
twice wounded during his term of service. The first was only a flesh wound 
received at the battle of Roanoke Island, Feb. 8, 1863. This was the first 
battle in which he was engaged. The second was a gun-shot wound in the right 
shoulder, received Aug. 1, 1864, on the James River in Virginia, which 
permanently disabled him, and in consequence of which he was discharged in 
January, 1865. In the fall of 1867, he came West and entered the State Normal 
School at Mankato, Minn., from which he graduated in June, 1873. He taught 
three years in Blue Earth City, Minn., and came from there to La Crosse in 
1877. He was married in March, 1871, in Blue Earth Co., Minn., to Miss Maggie, 
daughter of John Shields, of that county. Mr. and Mrs. Cleveland have four 
children - Lizzie, May, Bertha and Grace.
