John Sufficool

Neillsville, Pine Valley, Clark Co., WI

John Sufficool was born in Pennsylvania on 2 Feb. 1835. On 15 Aug. 1862, he enlisted at Mineral Point in the 30^th Regiment, Company B, Wisconsin Volunteer Infantry. According to a history of Clark County, he was a guard during the duration of his military service. His rank was sergeant, and he was honorably discharged on 20 Sept. 1865.

Before the war, and for a short while after, John worked at mining. He married Annie Huntley on 4 April, 1864 in Milwaukee and they had at least two sons and 5 daughters. In about 1868, he came to Clark County nearly penniless, and built a log house in the wilderness. While he was clearing land, he also worked as a stone mason. He served as chairman on the town board of Weston and was a member of the Masons. About sixteen years before his death, he suffered a stroke that left him paralyzed and made him an invalid.

He died on the 30^th of January in 1887 and is buried in the Neillsville City Cemetery, Pine Valley Twp. Clark County, Wisconsin.
