C. G. PASSALT, an enterprising restless river man, who has had a varied experience, who has run lumber, driven logs, broken almost unbreakable jams, and been a useful citizen generally. Born in New York State, Oct. 29, 1836; came as far as Cleveland when young; then to Milwaukee, attending school at both places. When of age, began to branch out for himself on a farm, on the railroad, in a machine shop, run a stationary engine; went to rafting on the Wisconsin and on the Wolf Rivers. Enlisted in the army in 1861, with Captain Smith, afterward went into the sheep-raising business. These enterprises carried him to many points in the Northwest, finally coming to Wausau, where there is plenty of room for his versatile abilities. He was married in July, 1871, and has several children.
