came to this state while still child, ANA
passed his boyhood at Racine. tie at,
tended the common school there until
he was old enough to learn
his trade with great assldulty,
at the same time carrying on studies
that would fit him for an editorship.
In 1859, with scarcely any money, worn
type and an old-tashioned hand press,
he started the Oconto Pioneer, and soon
made it bright and lively paper. In
1861 he was elected to the Assembly,
and at about the same time married
Miss Flora B. Cultivate, who survives
him.
When the war broke out Gen. Glnty
was very eager to enter the army, but
was unable to do SO, as his mother and
several other relatives and friends
were dependent on him, His father
and three brothers found themselves
able to enlist In 1864, however, he
saw his way clear, and volunteered his
services. He was made major and
soon afterward colonel of the Forty
sixth Wisconsin Infantry, with whom
he served until the end of the war,
when he returned as a brevet brigadier
general.
Gen. Ginty made his home at Green
Bay, where he was appointed collector
of internal revenue for that district.
1t was at this time that he established
the Green Bay Gazette. Some twenty
years ago he established the Herald at
Chippewa Falls, with which he has been
connected ever since. From 1884 to
1888 he served in the state Senate, and
In 1888 he became a prominent candidate
for governor. He was made United
States marshal for the Eastern district
of Wisconsin few months since.
