Dessert, Louis (6 June 1849 - 19??)

 

LOUIS DESSERT, who is one of the enterprising and far sighted business men of Marathon County, president of the Mosinee Land, Log & Timber Company and vice president of the State Bank at Mosinee, Wis., with many additional interests, was born June 6, 1849, in Canada, and is a son of Antoine and Edvige (Rotonelle) Dessert. Both parents have long since passed away. They left six sons and four daughters.  

 

Louis Dessert had rather meager educational privileges and was yet a boy when he went to work around saw mills and in lumber yards, these early years of training, however, probably setting the trend of his life in which it has continued, for Mr. Dessert, while concerned in many lines of industry, has always been more closely connected with lumber activities. He came to Marathon County in 1869. In addition to the interests named he owns stock in the Mosinee Land, Log and Timber Company, in the Westfield and Fall River Company and in the Mosinee Electric Light and Telephone Company. A Republican in politics, he has taken an active part in all movements for the town's good government, served one year on the county board of commissioners and for three years was president of Mosinee Village.

  

In 1883 Mr. Dessert was married to Miss Abbie Richardson, who was born in New Hampshire, and they have three children: Howard, who is in the lumber business in Chicago, Ill.: and Louise and Blanche. Mr. Dessert and family belong to the Roman Catholic Church.
