WYMAN, William Wallace

History of Northern Wisconsin. Chicago: Western Historical, 1881, p 169

William W. WYMAN, jeweler and druggist, Mondovi [Naples Township (per 1878 
Atlas), Buffalo County, Wisconsin], was born 22 June 1842 in Canada, his 
parents, James and Nancy WYMAN, having settled in Dodge County [Wisconsin] in 
1844. James WYMAN was born in Vermont, and his wife in Maine [New 
Hampshire?]. William W. WYMAN settled in Mondovi in 1860, and in 1861 
enlisted in the Sixth Wisconsin Battery. After serving two years he was 
discharged for disability and returned to Buffalo County. In 1865 he opened 
a jewelry store in the village of Mondovi, his being the first in the 
village. In 1877 he added a stock of drugs to his former business. He is a 
general collecting agent, and has been Justice of the Peace for six years; 
also County Clerk for two years. He is a member of the Town Board of Naples, 
and also of the Ancient Free & Accepted Masons, Bernett Lodge, No. 150, and 
the Ancient Order of United Workmen, Mondovi Lodge, No. 23.

[On 16 May 1864 in Mondovi, Buffalo County, Wisconsin, William Wallace WYMAN 
was married to Eliza HAMMOND. (Submitter did not view actual marriage 
record.) The WYMAN family was enumerated in the 1880 census of Mondovi: 
William W., thirty-seven, druggist, born in Canada, about 1843 by his census 
age, to a father born in Vermont and mother born in New Hampshire (biography 
states Maine); his wife, Eliza, thirty-five, born in Vermont, about 1845, to 
parents also born in Vermont; and two sons, both born in Wisconsin and 
attending school: (1) Charlie J., fourteen, born about 1866; and (2) 
William W., ten, born about 1870. Also in the household are four individuals 
unrelated to Mr. WYMAN, among them Edwin HAMMOND, single, twenty-two, store 
clerk, born in Vermont, about 1858, to parents also born there. Edwin could 
be related to Mrs. WYMAN, since HAMMOND was Eliza's surname (maiden name?) 
when she married Mr. WYMAN. Bracketed material added by submitter (who is 
not researching these surnames) to support and clarify information given in 
the biography and to raise questions.]
