The History of the Township and Village of Mazomanie, 
BY WILLIAM KITTLE, MADISON, WIS. 
STATE JOURNAL PRINTING CO. 1900.

JOHN DENU was born in Bavaria, Germany, in 1851, and came 
to Mazomanie in 1866. He secured employment here in the 
harness business until 1877, when he began the same work 
for himself, and has kept a harness shop until the present 
time. His father died in Mazomanie in 1892, and his mother 
is still living. In 1862 he married Miss Olive Willmarth. 
The children are Mabel and Roy. [Transcriber's note: I 
doubt the validity of the dates in this biography. Getting 
married when 11 years old seems unlikely.]
