TO those who had previous interest in Herman and Martha Tofflemier of Wisconsin--I hope this information will be useful to you, it may give more clues to this family. Dianne Parrish transcribed the following from "History of Dunn County Wisconsin" 1925. "John C. Wilcox, a prominent business man of Menomonie, part owner of the Graven & Wilcox shoe store, was born Jan. 3, 1862, at Honey Creek, Sauk County, Wis, son of Herman A. and Martha J. (Tofflemier) Wilcox.The father was a native of New York State, and the mother of Canada. From that state Herman Wilcox went in 1835 to Chicago, where he remained until 1856. He then went to Madison, Wis., arriving there before Wisconsin was admitted to the Union, and he was one of the pioneer developers of the city. It was there also that he was married to Martha J. Tofflemier. In 1856 he moved with his family to Sauk County, this state, where he engaged in farming and millin and also for some years was a merchant. There he remained until his death, which occurred March 22, 1917. They had been the parents of six children: Harriet, now Mrs. William S. Jones of Wichita, KS, Herman Alonzo, of Minneapolis, Mary, who married a Mr. Jackson and is now deceased, Frank L., of Superior, Wis., Jessie B., now Mrs. L.A. Brown of Madison, Wis., and John C. of Menomonie. John C. Wilcox acquired his education in the common and high schools at Spring Green, Sauk County, Wis., his teacher for much of the time being the lady who subsequently became Mrs. Robert LaFollette. His first industrial experienere in railroad and farm work in that county. It was in 1880 that he came to Menomonie and here for two years was clerk in the old Merchants Hotel. He then entered the employ of the Knapp, Stout & Co., with whom he remained for nine years, being manager of the clothing department at the time he resigned his position. In April, 1891, Mr. Wilcox formed a partnership with Peter Graven and they established the Graven & Wilcox Shoe Co., with a store located where the Jensen Hardware Co. is today at 314 Main Street. There they remained until 1900, when they moved to their present location at 336 Main Street, where they have the largest and best equipped shoe store in the city or county. Mr Wilcox has been active in Commercial Club work and other public affairs and in many ways has proved himself a public spirited citizen whose aid and inflluence have been potent factors in building up the community. He twice served as president of the Commercial Club, and is now president of the Retail Merchants Association and chairman of the approval committee. In addition to his interest in the shoe business, he is part owner of the Hansman & Wilcox stock farm at Knapp, a 190 acre tract which he and Mr. Hansman purchased in 1916 and have developed into a fine modern stock farm where they are raising pure bred Holstein cattle, H. F. Hansman acting as manager. Mr. Wilcox was married Jan 21, 1883, at Black River, Wis., to Miss Sarah W. Heller, daughter of Capt. Martin W. and Hannah (Budd) Heller. Of this union two children have been born: Lucille, who is now the wife of J. T. Flint of Menomonie, and Helen, wife of H. F. Hansman of Knapp, Dunn County. Mrs Sarah W. Wilcox passed away on June 13, 1924."
