Biography:
W. J. FOOTE, D.D.S., a successful young dental practitioner of Appleton, Wisconsin, and a member of a family that has been identified with this state since 1849, was born at Hartford, Wisconsin, July 6, 1882, and is a son of John D. and Margaret (O'Connell) Foote. Thomas Foote, the grandfather of Dr. W. J., brought his family from Boston, Massachusetts, to Wisconsin in 1849, and the rest of his life was spent in farming and real estate dealing, he becoming one of the well-known figures of his day in this section. His son, John D., who was born in Massachusetts, accompanied the family to Wisconsin, and here engaged in agricultural pursuits, in which he has continued to the present time. He and his wife, who is a native of this state, had a family of two sons and four daughters, of whom W. J. is the eldest. Dr. Foote attended the public and high schools at Hartford, after leaving which he entered the dental department of the Marquette University, at Milwaukee, from which he was graduated in 1909, at which time he established himself in practice in Appleton, where he has since continued. He has a well-appointed suite of offices, fitted with the latest inventions of his profession, and is already taking care of a large number of patients. He holds membership in the Appleton and Fox River Valley Dental Associations, and is also connected with the Knights of Columbus, the Catholic Order of Foresters and the Fraternal Reserve Association. On August 9, 1910, Dr. Foote was married to Miss Nellie Frawley, of Calumet county, Wisconsin. They are members of St. Mary's Catholic Church, and are well known in Appleton's social circles.

Family History Researcher:
This William J. Foote is my father. His father and my grandfather, William J. Foote "W.J." is the dentist from Hartford, WI who married Nellie Foote of Chilton and settled in Appleton. That's William James Foote. My dad, William John Foote, graduated with a B.S. from Lawrence College in 1934 (Appleton High School class of 1930). He was a Ph.D. but his degree was a Paper Chemistry Ph.D. from the Institute of Paper Chemistry at Lawrence (1938). Both dad & grandpa went by "W.J.". You list his undergrad as being 1935. I suppose that's possible but isn't what we were told. He only kept the 1934 Lawrence yearbook and his photo is in there as a Senior. He won 'the Specter Cup' in 1934 as the college's "Outstanding Senior", and the cup is sitting on my shelf. I just checked and it does say 1934 & Senior. Thank you for the great work you are doing with this database. Regards, - John Foote
