"The BIOGRAPHICAL History of Clark County, Wisconsin"

Compiled by Franklyn Curtiss-Wedge, Chicago and Winona, H. C. Cooper Jr., & Co. in 1918



OSCAR THOMAS, a prosperous farmer of Washburn Township, son of Ernest and Caroline (Senevalt) Thomas, was born in Newton County, Ind., Oct. 3, 1892. He was educated in the district school and remained with his parents, coming with them to Clark County. Here, with his father's assistance, he secured 120 acres of land in Sections 14 and 15, mostly covered With stumps. On this he built a barn, 42 by 42 feet, and a silo, 12 by 26 feet in size, but both were blown down by a tornado, which also blew down his windmill. All have been replaced, however, and the farm is now in excellent condition, Mr. Thomas raising graded cattle and good stock of other kinds. He is a member of the Farmers' Elevator and Lumber Company of Neillsville, and, occupies an assured place in the community as a substantial and reliable citizen.
