Excerpt from Portrait and biographical album of Stephenson County, Illinois, Chapman Bros., 1888, pp589-590:
John LaBorde, the well-known owner and manager of the Oneco Flouring-Mills of Oneco Township... About eight years after the marraige..., he removed to Rock Grove twp, Stephenson County, IL where he lived for three years. Having learned of the fertility of the soil in Shueyville, Green County, WI, he removed there where he remained three years engaged in the milling business. Thence he removed to Rock Grove twp, Stephenson County, IL and later to Martintown, WI, where he engaged in milling. Having been successful in his pursuits, he concluded to occupy larger fields for his business, and removed to Oneco twp, purchasing what was known as the Oneco Flouring-Mills. In the course of time as there came improvements in mill machinery he removed the old mill, and on it site erected the present model establishment. This mill does both custom and mercantile grinding for all this region of country. Mr. LaBorde being careful in the management of his mills, and just in the exaction of tolls, is popular with the farming community.
Mrs. LaBorde's people were natives of Pennsylvania, of Scotch descent on the father's and German on the mother's side. The children of Mr. and Mrs. LaBorde are: Susannah Eliza, Mrs. Schrack, who lives in Oneco; Franklin Pierce, who died in 1860, at the age of five years; Rosella J. died in 1880; Oliver H. P. died when one and one-half years of age; and Sylvester S. and John Alvah, who reside at home. Both are members of the Methodist Episcopal Church, and Mr. LaBorde has been a church officer ever since he became a member. He is Democratic in politics, though taking no offensive part in political affairs.
