J. P. TOMS was born Sept. 12, 1816, at West Bloomfield, Ontario Co., N. Y.; 
here he remained until June, 1833, when he moved to Troy, Oakland Co., Mich. 
Sept. 29, 1841, he was married and removed to Kentucky and engaged himself in 
teaching school, following this occupation until 1844, when he returned to 
Michigan and occupied himself during summers in farming, and teaching winters. 
In 1846, he removed to Oxford, Oakland Co., and there established himself in 
the general merchandise business, conducting it until 1856, when he was 
elected Register of Deeds of Oakland Co., and moved to Pontiac; he held this 
office two years, and then spent two years in settling up his private affairs, 
and, in 1860, was appointed Deputy Collector of Internal Revenue, holding this 
office until 1865, when he removed to La Crosse and engaged in the wholesale 
and retail crockery and glassware business, following the same up to the 
present time.
