Biography:
A. G. DOWNER. The grocery interests of Appleton are represented by men of ability and progressive ideas, and during the last few years largely by men of the younger generation, whose success in their chosen line has proved that this line of endeavor is a profitable one if handled in the right manner. A. G. Downer, who conducts a flourishing grocery business at No. 732 Lawe street, belongs to this class of Appleton business men. He is a native of Seymour, Wisconsin, born September 15, 1886. His early education was secured in Seymour. He later attended the Appleton High school, after graduating from which he immediately entered the employ of a wholesale grocery house, with which he continued five years. He gained valuable experience as a salesman on the road for this company, and in February, 1906, embarked in his present business venture, which has proved most successful. On September 15, 1904, A. G. Downer was married to Rowena M. Babb, daughter of Willis M. and Mary (Miller) Babb, and to this union there have been born three children, of whom a son and daughter survive. Mrs. Downer is a consistent member of the Congregational Church. Her husband is a popular fraternal man, belonging to the Blue Lodge and Chapter of the Masonic order, and to the Knights of Pythias.
