WILLIAM H. STOGDILL, attorney and counsellor at law; was born in Westchester 
Co., N. Y., in 1819, and resided there until in his 15th year, when he went 
with his parents to New York City to reside. He pursued his academic course of 
studies in the academy at Sing Sing under the supervision of Rev. Nathaniel 
Perine, and completed them under Prof. Russell at Elmwood Hill Academy, New 
York City. He entered the office of David Graham in 1836, and was admitted to 
the bar in 1840 in the Supreme Court. He continued to practice in New York 
City until 1857, when he came to La Crosse, Wis., where he has continued his 
practice. From 1849 to 1852, was attorney for Thomas Casserly, Sheriff of the 
city of New York, and, in 1852, was Whig candidate for Marine Court Judge, but 
was defeated. In 1863, Mr. S. was elected City Attorney of La Crosse on the 
Republican ticket vice Hon. James I. Lyndes, who was a very strong man before 
the people. Mr. S. subsequently ran twice for the same office, and was 
defeated. Of late years, has taken very little active part in politics, but 
has directed his time in the practice of his profession.
