Biographical History
Collection revolving around the Usher family, originally of Buxton and Hollis, Me. The papers were gathered by Ellis B. Usher II, a newspaperman, politician, and author, born in Buxton, Me. He moved with his parents to Wisconsin in 1855, settling in La Crosse, where he eventually became a newspaper publisher (La Crosse Morning Chronicle). A Democrat, Usher was chairman of the state central committee (1887-1890), and from 1878 to 1881 was secretary of the La Crosse board of trade. In 1901 he moved to Milwaukee, where for many years he operated his own advertising agency, and devoted much of his time to his interest in Wisconsin history. Usher was the author of an eight-volume history of Wisconsin published in 1914.
