ESAIAS LEGLER, was born on the 2d day of March, 1829, in Zurich, Switzerland. 
He attended the common and high schools until his 16th year, when he entered a 
wholesale business establishment as an apprentice and served out his term of 
three years. After traveling for a wholesale house several years in Southern 
Germany, France and Switzerland, he returned home and engaged in business with 
his father. Receiving in 1854, after the death of his father, very good 
inducements from the Swiss Consul in Sicily, Italy, who had an extensive 
banking-house, and worked several sulphur mines, he accepted his offer of an 
administratorship of one of his mines, which position he occupied about nine 
years, until the contract with the proprietors of the mine expired, and then 
engaged in business on his own responsibility. In October, 1868, he left the 
old world, accompanies by two brothers, for the United States; he lived 
several years in Georgia, Tennessee and Minnesota, and came to La Crosse in 
June, 1874, when he became partner of John Ulrich in the book and stationery 
business, where he remained until elected Register of Deeds of La Crosse Co., 
in November, 1879, which position he now holds.
