Elmer L. Immell, live stock dealer and automobile agent of Blair, has seen 
considerable public life.  From 1889 to 1893, under President Benjamin H. 
Harrison, he was postmaster at Blair.  From 1901 to 1903 he was sheriff of 
Trempealeau County.  From 1903 to 1908 he was deputy State game warden.  
Since its organization he has served on the village council all except four
years, and during a part of this period he was president of that body.  He 
has also been village treasurer and township treasurer.  In all of these 
positions he has done most excellent work, and has demonstrated his 
efficiency and ability in whatever line of effort he has been called upon 
to undertake.  He was born in Alma Township, Jackson County, Wis., May 10, 
1863, son of Francis M. and Anna (Storley) Immell, and spent his boyhood on 
the farm, coming to Blair with his parents in 1876.  For a number of years 
he was occupied in drilling wells and installing pumps and windmills.  During 
this period he operated a number of steam threshers.  Gradually he became 
interested in stock buying, in which line he has since continued.  In 1910
he purchased the hardware store of A. B. Peterson.  In 1913, having sold this 
establishment, he became treasurer and part owner of the Whitehall Auto Sales 
Company, of Whitehall, assuming the position of agent at Blair.  He has built 
up a good business and is widely known for his honorable dealing.  Fraternally, 
Mr. Immell is connected with the Modern Woodmen and the Beavers.  He was 
married Nov. 19, 1885, to Rose McKivergin, and this union has been blessed 
with four children:  Hugh E., who is in the hardware business in Appleton, 
Wis.; Russell H., who is at home; Clinton B., who is a student at the La Crosse 
Normal School, and Ralph M., who is studying law in the University of Wisconsin.
