G. G. REUL, foreman, C. C. Washburn's shingle mill, P. O. Hixon, Clark 
County, Wisconsin, was born 10 January 1852 in Ft. Atkinson, Jefferson 
County, Wisconsin. His father was a lumberman and had a sash and door 
factory. Moving to Dane County and working in the factory most of his time 
up to 1869, he then struck out for Idaho, where he was engaged in freighting. 
In 1871 he went to Baraboo [Sauk County, Wisconsin], and in 1873 opened a 
sash and door factory, run by Reul Brothers.

In 1874 he [G. G. REUL] married Miss F. C. ROYCE, of Litchfield [Meeker 
County], Minnesota. They [G. G. and F. C. (ROYCE) REUL] have one child, 
George. In 1874 G. G. REUL was working in a mill in Rockford [Winnebago 
County], Illinois, and in 1875 went to La Crosse [La Crosse County, 
Wisconsin], and worked with George PIERCE, and finally for C. C. WASHBURN. 
Mr. REUL came here [Clark County, Wisconsin] in the fall of 1880, and built 
the shingle mill, which has a capacity of 80,000 per day. He is a member of 
the Baraboo Masonic lodge.
