- ARCHIBALD WOODARD, President of the Clinton Bank, of
- Clinton, Wis., and one of the leading business men of that
thriving little city, was born in this county on the 16th day
of April, 1846, and is a son of Archibald and Mary (HERRON) WOODARD,
who were pioneer settlers of Bradford Township. Their sketch
appears on another page of this volume. Archibald was an only
son, and his early life was spent upon his father's farm. He
received liberal educational advantages, pursuing an academic
course after completing the rudimentary studies in the common
schools. Possessing an observing eye and a retentive memory,
he has always kept himself well informed on the leading issues
of the day, and is a worthy and valued citizen.

- In 1864 Mr. WOODARD let to the marriage altar Miss Mary
- LA MONTE, where the union of hearts was consummated by the
union of hands. The lady is a native of New York, her birthplace
being in Schoharie County. Six children have been born of the
union of this worthy couple, four sons and two daughters, and
the family circle yet remains unbroken. They are as follows:
Archibald, George L., Morrison C., Fannie, Daniel W. and Mary.
Mr. WOODARD is a man of more than ordinary ability, and in both
his business and social relations stands high in the community.
In 1886 he began the banking business, which he has carried on
successfully since, it being one of the leading moneyed institutions
in this part of the county. He is very genial, possessing a kindly
disposition, and makes friends whoever he goes.
