Wisconsin Biographies, Green County
"Eugene W. Van Norman"
EUGENE W. VAN NORMAN. The commercial interests of the flourishing townof Monticello,
Wis., are in the hands of progressive men who vie with each other torender that place a center for Green county. Among those young men whohave displayed ability and energy is Eugene W. VAN NORMAN, the subjectof this sketch, who is owner and manager of the finely appointed drugstore of the town.
Mr. VAN NORMAN was born near Moscow, in Lafayette county, Wis., Oct.20, 1874, a son
of Michael F. and Katherine (DEAM) VAN NORMAN, who came to Wisconsinin the early pioneer days. Michael F. VAN NORMAN was born in Luzernecounty, Penn., Sept. 19, 1835, a son of Jacob and Mary (PARKS) VANNORMAN, the former born on the Mohawk river, near Philadelphia, Penn.,in 1802, a son of Samuel and Phebe VAN NORMAN, natives of Holland, whocame to the United States with their parents when very young, settingin Pennsylvania, and died near Scranton, Penn., the father agedninety-five years, and the mother ninety years.
Jacob VAN NORMAN, the grandfather of our subject, was engaged in thelumber business until
forty-five years of age, when he purchased 220 acres of land inChemung county, N.Y., where he remained until 1854. In that year hesold his land in New York and bought 320 acres in Iowa county, Wis.,remaining there until his death, at the age of seventy-eight years. Inhis political relations he was a Democrat until the war, when he votedfor Abraham Lincoln. He was a prominent man and held many localoffices. Mrs. MARY (PARKS) VAN NORMAN, the grandmother of our subject,died near Sioux City, at the home of her son Jacob, when she was ageeighty-four years. She was born in Pennsylvania, a daughter of Josephand Rebecca PARKS, who came from Newfoundland to the United States andlocated first in Luzerne county, Penn., where the father died at theage of one hundred, and the mother at seventy-three. Samuel VANNORMAN, our subject's great-grandfather, was a soldier in the war of1812, for which service he afterward drew a pension. The family werenoted for their longevity. Jacob and Mary (PARKS) VAN NORMAN weremembers of the Methodist Church for many years, he being very activein church and Sunday school work. They were the parents of ninechildren, seven of whom are living, two engaged in farming, one in theministry, and the rest, including our subject's father, in the stockbusiness. Three of the sons were soldiers in the war of the Rebellion.
Michael F. VAN NORMAN remained at home until twenty-one years of age,attending the dis-
trict school in winter, working his father's farm in summer, and, togratify his ambition for learning, studying at home. He was afterwardemployed in teaching during winters, and attended the EvansvilleCollege, Evansville, Wis., one term. Being then in his twenty-thirdyear, and in poor health, he went overland to Kansas, and engaged inteaming for the Pike's Peak Express Co. While there he drove fourmules to a coach that hauled the famous Horace Greeley from Manhattanto Fort Riley, when on his overland trip to California. In 1860 Mr.VAN NORMAN returned to Iowa county, Wis., rented a farm, and, as theState banks nearly all failed, and what money he had saved for thisoccasion was State bank currency, worth from ten to forty cents on thedollar, he was obliged to go in debt for everything he bought. Heremained there until the outbreak of the war, when, in July, 1862, hejoined Company E, 31st Wis. V.I., under Capt. Mason. He served untilthe close of hostilities, was mustered out at Louisville, Ky., and wasdischarged at Madison, Wis. At Atlanta, Ga., July 24, 1864, he waswounded, and remained in the hospital four days, when he obtainedtransportation home, and returned to his regiment about thirty dayslater. He was in the Division Commissary Department, and on detachedservice at Smoky Swamp, S.C., and marched through to Washington, byway of Richmond, with the 20th Army Corps. After the close of the warhe returned home, rented a farm of 330 acres for six years, thenbought 100 acres in Primrose township, Dane Co., Wis. Five years laterhe rented his farm, moved to Middleton, same county, and remainedthere about seventeen years. While there he was engaged in the stockbusiness, owning some of the finest bred animals in the country. Hewas also the owner of a 215 acre farm in Middleton. He moved from thistown to Milwaukee, to engaged in the live stock commission businesswith his brother, George B. On account of his health he was obliged toleave Milwaukee, and then went on the road soliciting for the firm,making many trips to the far West every year. His family removed toMadison in 1897, where they now reside. In his political relations hehas been a Republican since President Lincolns' first term, butgenerally votes for the best man. He is a member of the G.A.R. and theI.O.O.F. To Michael F. and Katherine (DEAM) VAN NORMAN were born fivechildren: Ida, who was drowned at Mt. Vernon, Wis. at the age ofsixteen; Etta M., wife of H. J. WHALEN, a commission merchant ofMilwaukee; Eugene W., our subject; George W., who is with his uncle,George B. VAN NORMAN, in Chicago, engaged in the live stock commissionbusiness; and Paul, who attends the Madison high school. Mrs.Katherine (DEAM) VAN NORMAN was born in Bradford county, Penn, July31, 1837, a daughter of Henry H. and Elizabeth (ETTLEMAN) DEAM, alsonatives of that State, and of German descent. Mr. DEAM died at the oldhome in Iowa county, Wis., at the age of forty-four, and his wifepassed away at Plano, Ill., at the age of sixty years.
Eugene W. VAN NORMAN was reared at Middleton, Dane county. Hiseducational advantages
were excellent, as his primary education in the common schools wassupplemented by a course in high school, from which he was graduatedin 1890, then entering the Wisconsin Academy, at Madison, in whichinstitution he took a two-years course. This was followed by two yearsin the pharmaceutical department of the State University. In August,1897, he came to Monticello, Green county, and bought out the drugbusiness of E. J. FISCHER, since which time he has been successfullyengaged in that line. Mr. VAN NORMAN has a neatly appointed store,carries a large stock of drugs, medicines, toilet articles, paints,and supplies usually found in the establishments of first-classdruggists.
Mr. VAN NORMAN is a member of the Green County Retail DruggistsAssociation, also of the
Wisconsin Pharmaceutical Association. He is personally popular, andduring his sojourn at the university was president of his class, andalso captain of the baseball team. In politics he is a Republican, butdoes not force his views on any one, being peculiarly fitted for abusiness life by the possession of that tact which attracts allclasses. His energy and ability are recognized, and the citizens ofMonticello have complete confidence in him as a pharmacist.
