Hyslop, William (Born 1864)
William Hyslop also went by W.G.
Hyslop. He was born in Osseo, Wisconsin in 1864. He
married Ella Quinn in 1887 in Alma Center, Jackson County,
WI.
He owned creameries in Blair (Preston Creamery); Ettrick; Alma
Center, Melrose and in Neillsville (Pleasant Ridge Creamery).
He rented out his creameries in Blair and in Neillsville in 1909
when he took an ill fated farming venture in Star Township, Bowman
County, North Dakota.
He lost the land by foreclosure in 1913 and returned to Trempealeau
and Jackson County, broken and significantly less wealthy.
He cashed in a political favor from Robert La Follette to obtain a
job as a Construction Maintenance Supervisor at Camp Douglas
military installation from
the later 1920s and 30s. In early December 1948, the vehicle
which he was driving tragically was hit, head on by a trucker who
was trying to pass a vehicle on a
two lane road near Mauston, Wisconsin. His passenger Dora
Winkler died in the accident and the driver of the errant trucker
also died, being burned up when gas
spilled onto him once the truck flipped over. Wm. G. Hyslop
died at the hospital in Mauston on April 2, 1949 due to injuries
from the December 1948 traffic accident.
