JAMES DeLANE, proprietor of the De Lane House , Neillsville, Wisconsin, was born in the Empire State. November 24, 1839. His youth was spent in New York and his education was obtained in the common schools. When James was five years old his father died in that State. He came West and at the age of thirteen, began to learn the trade of blacksmith and wagon-maker, at Racine, Wisconsin, and when he was sixteen he settled in Jackson County, being employed at his trade in Black River Falls. He remained at the latter place until he was twenty-three years old. In that year, November 11, he was married to Mira Wilson, daughter of Dyer Wilson, a merchant of Illinois. Previous to her marriage Mrs. DeLane attended school at Black River Falls. Her father is deceased and her mother is still living. This union has been blessed with three children: William, May and Daisy. They all have the benefit of good educational advantages, and the son is preparing for the medical profession, now being a student under Dr. Mallory.
Mr. DeLane enlisted in the First Wisconsin Battery, September 10, 1861, and did his part bravely in many of the important engagements of the civil war. Among the prominent actions in which he was engaged we mention the Red River Expedition, the battles of Vicksburg, Cumberland Gap. Black River Bridge, Champion Hills and Jackson Church. After a faithful service of three years he was honorably discharged, in 1864.
He was engaged in wagon making until he met with an accident which disabled him from following that vocation. During a soldiers reunion he had an arm blown off by a cannon. Mr. DeLane engaged in his present business in Clark County then years ago. As a hotelkeeper he is a success. Large-hearted, generous, and public-spirited to a fault, he is widely known as a most popular landlord. He had little means with which to begin life and the success he has achieved is due to his won efforts.
