CHARLES FOOTE was born in England, the son of
Samuel and Hannah Foote, both natives of that country. He came to
America in 1852, and in 1854 located in Clark County, Wisconsin, on
a farm in section 24, Pine Valley Township. His early education was
received in his native land, and when he came to the United States
he was entirely without means. For a time he worked in Racine,
Wisconsin. He was engaged in lumbering, working in a mill and
farming up to 1861. In that year he enlisted in Company I,
Fourteenth Wisconsin Regiment, and participated in the battles of
Shiloh and Corinth and other important engagements. Mr. Foote
served his country faithfully and was always found at the post of
duty. He was honorably discharged in 1866.
In 1866 he was united in marriage to Maggie Ross. To them five
children have been born: Frank, Nellie, Grace, Blanch and Oscar.
One child is deceased. The others are receiving their education in
the high schools. Since the war Mr. Foote has been engaged in
farming in Clark County. He owns a farm which is located two miles
east of Neillsville and which is well improved. He is regarded as
one of the best citizens of the township.
