One of the members of the House in the Twenty-fourth General Assembly returned to the Twenty-fifth is the Hon. C. T. Coonley, of Butler county. He was born in Green county, New York, in 1846. At the age of 10 years he went with his parents to Kenosha county, Wisconsin, where he remained until 1874, when he settled at Bristow, his present home. During the war he enlisted in company C, 39th Wisconsin volunteer infantry. He was taken sick at Memphis,Tennessee, and was honorably discharged from the service. Since living at Bristow he followed carpenter work for many years, until he engaged in the lumber business and is now one of the largest dealers in the county. Mr. Coonley has a very comfortable home and loving family at Bristow, who are of the best society and highly respected. He has the record of a very clean life and is at all times ready to help and give to all good works. He is a man of temperate habits, always regarded as a strong temperance man, from principle and not from policy. Politically he has always been a Republican, working for the best interests of the party. His record in the last legislature was so satisfactory that he had no trouble in being returned.
