ROBERT G. WALLACE, of the firm of Wallace & Redford, saw mill, was born in Belfast, Ireland, Oct. 24, 1839. His mill was erected in the Summer of 1871. The capacity is about 24,000 in one day, and after cutting lumber they manufacture usually about 40,000 shingles per day, employing about twenty-four men. He came to Stevens Point, April, 1862, and was there a short time, when he settled in his present place of business, thirteen and one-half miles north of Stevens Point, and three miles east of Hutchinson, township Eau Pleine. He has made lumbering his principal business since settling there. He was married at Stevens Point, April 22, 1871, to Ann E. Whitney, who was born in Miramichi, N. B., Sept. 19, 1846.
