FRANK DWYER, a farmer, residing on section 6,
Grant Township, Clark County, was born on Wolf River, Wisconsin,
December 19, 1859. He is a son of John and Catharine Dwyer, both
natives of Ireland. They came to Wisconsin in 1859, with six
children and with no capital with which to begin life in the new
State. Four of the children are still living. In 1863 they settled
in Clark County, where the father bought a large tract of
Government land which, with the assistance of his sons, he cleared
up and converted into beautiful farms. John Dwyer was perhaps one
of the best known farmers in Clark County. He was a whole souled,
congenial, kind hearted man, who loved to tell a story, and his
manner of talk, although a little eccentric bespoke a chaste and
cheerful man. Politically he was a Democrat. His death occurred in
January 1881. The mother's death occurred January 22, 1890. She was
an exemplary Christian woman, and her loss was deeply felt by her
sons and a large circle of friends.
Frank Dwyer, the subject of this sketch, an enterprising young
farmer, resides on the old homestead. He is a man of integrity, and
is following in the footsteps of his worthy father. He was married
November 4, 1890, to Miss Julia Kapka, daughter of Martin Kapka, of
Neillsville, Wisconsin.
