EDWARD CRONON, of the Collection and Loan Agency of Scott & Cronon, is a 
native of Rensselaer Co., N. Y.; born in 1836; came to La Crosse in May, 1855. 
He was in Arkansas when the war broke out, but succeeded in making his way 
back to La Crosse, and in September, 1861, enlisted in Co. I, 8th W. V. I., 
and received a gunshot wound in the wrist, Oct. 3, 1862, at Corinth, Miss., 
which made it necessary to amputate the left arm near the elbow, in 
consequence of which he was discharged Nov. 24, 1862. He then returned to La 
Crosse, taught school twelve years, and has been in his present business since 
1878. He was married in La Crosse, in 1877, to Miss Anna A. Mellor, and has 
two children - Alice H. and Grace. Mr. Cronon's brother, Daniel, enlisted at 
the same time as he did, in the same acompany and regiment, and served till 
the close of the war. He died in July, 1868, in La Crosse, leaving a widow and 
one son - James Edward.
