JOSEPHUS EMERY, proprietor of livery stable; was born at Corrinna, Maine, July 
29, 1834. He left here when a boy of 10 or 11 years of age, going to Tedbury, 
Mass., remaining there about a year, and then going to Lowell, Mass. In 
February, 1852, he removed to Geneseo, Henry Co., Ill., and was there engaged 
about six months in opening a farm, when he removed to La Crosse, where he 
went to work logging on Black River for his uncle, S. F. Weston. In the fall 
of 1854, he returned to Lowell, remaining there until 1860, when he again came 
to Wisconsin, and logged for his uncle on Eau Claire River; remained there 
until 1862, when he opened a livery stable in Geneseo, Ill., conducting this 
until 1868, when he sold out and went to Baraboo, Wis., where he ran two stage 
lines, one from Baraboo to Portage, and the other from Baraboo to Kilbourn. In 
1869, he was engaged in selling lumber on the Mississippi River, soon 
afterward starting a lumber-yard at Fountain, Minn. He removed to La Crosse, 
Feb. 19, 1873, and purchased a livery stable, which he has since conducted.
