SEBASTIAN KRONENWETTER, proprietor of a saw-mill, one mile above Mosinee, on the Wisconsin River, was born in Germany, Jan. 20, 1833. His mill was built in 1863, the capacity of which is 18,000 a day. He came to Mosinee in 1857, and worked in the pineries for two years; then kept hotel at Mosinee two years. Then he moved to Wausau, where he kept hotel two years. His hotel burned and he lost all he had. He then returned to Mosinee, and after a year or two began logging and lumbering on his own account. In 1870, he settled in his present location, then a complete wilderness. He was married in St. Marys, Pa., Oct. 13, 1856, to Mary Biry. She was a native of Alsace, France, and born Dec. 24, 1836.
