June Rose (Lindow) Gault, 83, died Saturday, May 11, 2013 at the Neillsville Care & Rehab Center. She was struggling with Alzheimer’s and its many complications.

After graduation, June worked at Normington’s Laundry in Marshfield until her marriage to Franklin E. Gault May 21, 1949. In the early to mid 1950’s, June and Frank ran two taverns in Neillsville, first the Road Side Inn and then the Pool Hall. In 1956, the family moved to a suburb of Gary, IN. Frank drove truck for the steel mills. In 1958, they moved back to Neillsville. June and Frank operated the Neillsville Country Club for two years and from 1961 to 1969 they owned a beer distributorship. In the mid 1960’s June worked at the Neillsville McCain’s store, and in 1968 she began working at the Neillsville Bank, retiring after 25 years. After retirement, June worked part-time at Figi’s, The Family Shoe Store and the IGA, all in Neillsville.
