W. S. Dunbar & Co., Chigago - 1889

[page 435-436]

   H. H. LAMOREUX, Vice President of the Cherokee County Bank at
   Meriden, is one of the active and prominent business men of the
   county.  He was born in Luzerne County, Pennsylvania, October 27,
   1849, and is a son of WESLEY and EMELINE (BROWN) LAMOREUX, also
   natives of Pennsylvania.  He was reared to the life of a farmer in
   Luzerne County, and during the winter season attended the common
   schools.  He was married December 23, 1875, in Wyoming County,
   Pennsylvania, to Miss NETTIE PHOENIX, a daughter of the Rev. JAMES
   and MARY A. (RICE) PHOENIX, natives of Pennsylvania. Mrs. LAMOREUX
   is possessed of a superior education, and before her marriage was
   engaged in teaching.  In 1878 Mr. LAMOREUX removed to La Fayette
   County, Wisconsin, and made his home there until 1880. During this
   time he traveled extensively through the West, and decided to locate
   in Cherokee County.  Accordingly he purchased 240 acres known as the
   H. S. QUINN farm, one of the best in the county. He added to and
   remodeled the residence, making an attractive and convenient dwell-
   ing. He has one of the finest and largest barns in the county, the
   improvements costing $3,000. There are nine acres of grove, and the
   success of the owner is apparent on every hand.  In 1882 he sold
   $3,000 worth of corn, and in 1885 he engaged in the grain business
   in Meriden.  The first season he bought 100,000 bushels of grain;
   the second, 175,000 bushels, and the third, 200,000 bushels. In
   February, 1887, Mr. LAMOREUX was made vice president of the Chero-
   kee County Bank; he is also an extensive stockholder in the Maple-
   ton Bank, which was organized June 16, 1889.  Mr. and Mrs. LAMOREUX
   are the parents of three children: CARRIE MAY, ETTA BLANCHE, and
   HARRY RALPH.  Mr. LAMOREUX casts his political influence with the
   Republican party.  He is in the prime of life, is a man of fine
   presence and good physique, and is numbered among the leading men
   of the county.
