ABNER GILE, of the firms of Gile & Goodland, pork-packers, and Gile & Holway, 
lumbermen, was born in Gainesville, Wyoming Co., N. Y., Jan. 30, 1820. He 
remained here until October, 1843, farming during the latter part of this 
time, when he removed to Waukegan, Lake Co., Ill., where he operated a saw-
mill, built piers and docks in the lake, and purchased land, cultivating it 
until 1850, when he went to California, returning in 1851, and again 
cultivating his land, until the fall of 1854, when he disposed of it, and, in 
November, removed to La Crosse and engaged in logging on Black River, for C. 
C. Washburn, and subsequently for himself, and has logged it up to the present 
time. He owned an interest in the La Crosse Lumber Company's Mill, but 
disposed of it to C. C. Washburn.
