N. B. WILKINSON, attorney, Elroy [Juneau County, Wisconsin], was born 29 
January 1853 in Delaware. He was brought by his parents to Pierce County, 
Wisconsin, in 1865, where he received a good education. At the age of 
eighteen he went to Michigan, and attended the State University, at Ann Arbor 
[County], graduating in the law department in March 1874. He [N. B. 
WILKINSON] then returned to Wisconsin, and attended two years at the State 
University at Madison [Dane County], after which he returned to Pierce County 
and practiced law at River Falls [Pierce County] about two years, when he 
came to Elroy, where we still find him pursuing his profession in May 1881, 
in partnership with D. C. TALBOR. He purchased the "Plain Talker" [published 
in Elroy from May of 1876 to 1883] and is now publishing the same.

In 1870 he [N. B. WILKINSON] was married to Delia ATWATER [a maiden name?], 
who was born in New York State in 1857. [The marriage of "Norris B." and 
Delia (ATWATER) WILKINSON is listed in the pre-1907 Wisconsin Marriage Index 
having occurred on 01 July 1876, not in 1870, in Pierce County, Wisconsin. 
Marriage record not viewed by submitter.] They [Norris B. and Delia 
WILKINSON] have three children: J., Zillai, and Norris. Mr. WILKINSON is a 
Liberal in politics, with Democratic principals, and a member of the 
Independent Order of Odd Fellows, and the IOGT [?].
