and took charge of the school there, in September, 1876; he remained Principal 
of the Onalaska School until the spring of 1878, when he was appointed County 
Superintendent of Schools, to which position he has since been twice re-
elected. He is a member of the Masonic fraternity and a R. A. M., is P. G. in 
the I. O. O. F., and belongs to the S. of T., I. O. G. T. and T. of H.; was 
Census Enumerator for the town and village of Onalaska; has held nearly all 
the town offices (all with the exception of Justice of the Peace and 
Treasurer), and was President of the village of Onalaska. His wife, Mary A., 
was born in Gloucestershire, England, March 25, 1844, and came to America in 
1852. They were married April 11, 1868; their children are Abel E., born July 
25, 1869, died Feb. 3, 1870; Cyrus D., born Oct. 17, 1870; Charlotte I., born
