From "History of La Crosse County, Wisconsin", 1881, p. 774. City of La Crosse M. M. MANVILLE, of the firm of Gordon & Manville, is a native of New York, having been born in Watertown, Jefferson Co., in June, 1832. In 1856, he opened the first tin and hardware store seen in La Crosse. This he sold out to George Raymond. He then dealt in real estate for a time, and was also engaged in farming. He then became a traveling salesman for Gordon & Morse, and continued it till the retiring of Mr. Langdon, when he purchased his interest.
