Joseph BAZINET

Joseph Henry BRABANT

Joseph was educated in the public schools of the town, and became a clerk in the store of B. Heldt.  He was a clerk in the store of Dr. Amos Ellis and of F. L. Hall, successively.  The latter position he held for four years, when he bought an
interest in the business, the partnership continuing for seven years.  At the end of that time he bought the whole concern, and has since conducted it independently.  His rise in business has come through close application and diligent study of
the technicalities and special demands of the trade.  Courteous treatment and fair dealing have enabled him not only to keep the old customers of the firm, but constantly to extend his business.  He keeps in stock at all times a full line of
drugs, as well as a large stock of fancy goods, confectionery, toilet articles, etc.  His store is a busy place, where three clerks are employed.  Mr. Barbant is known for his probity and public spirit, and no man in the town has oftener been
called upon to settle estates.  he has held nearly all of the township offices, having been town clerk for three years, president of the village one term, trustee one term, and being at the present time village treasurer; an office he has held
for six years.  For six years he has done good service on the school board, and he has at all times worked for sanitary improvement of the village.  He is a member of the Knights of the Maccabees, and of the Knights of Columbus, and is
treasurer of the latter organization, and has been a delegate to many of its conventions.  He and his family are members of St. Mary's Catholic Church, and he is an influential member of the church society, having been treasurer and a trustee
for the past seven years.  During this time the debt of several thousand dollars has been paid, leaving unencumbered to the the society what is probably the finest church to be found in any town of its size in the state.  Mr. Brabant is a
Democrat.
