August J. was reared on a farm and educated in the common and

where he worked at the carpenter's trade in Thorp until January 24,
1888, when he came to his present farm of 120 acres, twenty-six of
which is cleared. He still works at his trade during the summers,
engaged in logging in the winters, and clears land in the spring.
