Husband of Minnie R.
Son of Alonzo Edward Stoddard and Florilla Stiles
Eugene F. Stoddard, the present postmaster of Downing, was born in Greenbush, Sheboygan County, Wis., Nov. 29, 1858, son of Olonzo E. and Flora (Styles) Stoddard. The father was born at Hale's Comers, Lewis County, New York, and the mother in Coburn, Ontario, Canada. After their marriage in the Dominion, they came west to Wisconsin in 1848 and settled in Sheboygan County, taking a homestead in the town of Greenbush, where they remained until 1906. The remainder of their span of life they spent in Downing with their son Eugene, mother dying in May, 1910, and father in September, 1912. Their children, eight in number, were as follows: Albert G., now a doctor at Spanish Fork, Utah; Etta, now Mrs. T. P. McIntvre of Olivia, Minn.; Charles, of Los Angeles, Calif.; Clara, who is Mrs. Louis King, Calif.; Cora, wife of Walter Douglass of Los Angeles; Gertrude, who is Mrs. William J. Carson, a widow, residing in Washburn, Wis.; Eugene F., of Downing; and Julia, who is deceased.
Eugene F. Stoddard acquired a district school education in Sheboygan County. He then learned the cheese making business under his father, who was engaged in operating the first cheese factory in Sheboygan County, and after he had acquired a good knowledge of it, became a traveling expert, organizing cheese factories and installing the machinery, which occupation he followed for a period of nearly 16 years. In 1885 he came to Downing and for 11 years subsequently was a scaler and estimator for the Downing Manufacturing Co. Then in 1896 he purchased the Dr. Park drug business, which he owned and conducted for seven years.
It was in September, 1894, that Mr. Stoddard was first appointed postmaster of Downing, and, with the exception of five years during the administration of President Wilson, he has since served in that position, having been appointed for the second time in 1922. In 1903 he bought a tract of 71 acres in the village of Downing, and platted and sold the Sunnyside addition. He still owns five acres of the land, on which he is doing some farming. He is a member of the local lodge of Odd Fellows, and in addition to his postmastership has rendered some public service, having for several years formerly been clerk and treasurer of the school board.
Mr. Stoddard was married Aug. 25, 1885, in the town of Greenbush, Sheboygan County, to Minnie E. Roberts, who was born in that town Jan. 19, 1861, daughter of Henry & Martha Roberts, her parents being prominent in Sheboygan County. Mr. and Mrs. Stoddard have had nine children:
Three of whom died in infancy.
