Y.; born in 1836; came to La Crosse in May, 1855. He was in Arkansas when the war broke out, but succeeded in making his way back to La Crosse, and in September, 1861, enlisted in Co. I, 8th W. V. I., and received a gunshot wound in the wrist, Oct. 3, 1862, at Corinth, Miss., which made it necessary to amputate the left arm near the elbow, in consequence of which he was discharged Nov. 24, 1862. He then returned to La Crosse, taught school twelve years, and has been in his present business since 1878. He was married in La Crosse, in 1877, to Miss Anna A.
