I. H. MOULTON, freight agent of the C., M. & S. P. R'y, was born at Foxcroft, 
Piscataquis Co., Maine, Nov. 28, 1828. Here he attended the common schools and 
received an academic education at Foxcroft Academy. In 1849, he removed to 
Salmon Falls, N. H., where he was engaged as a clerk and book-keeper. In 1851, 
he went to New York City, where he was also engaged as a book-keeper. In 1855, 
he removed to Providence, R. I., and established a grocery business for 
himself, conducting it only about eight months, when he disposed of his 
business and removed to Nashua, N. H. He removed to St. Anthony Falls (now 
Minneapolis) in the spring of 1857, and established a wholesale grocery and 
crockery business, but was disabled financially during the financial crash of 
1857. In 1858, he became engaged in steamboating, following this until the 1st 
day of September, 1869, when he accepted the agency of the C., M. & S. P. R'y 
at La Crosse, resigning this position in 1873, becoming the agent again in 
May, 1880. Mr. Moulton has been United States Surveyor at this place since 
Dec. 24, 1873.
