Miss Sutton Follows
Ball Like Ty Cobb

Miss May Sutton, greatest w0m-
an tennis player, came up to Eek
pectations yesterday. She strolied
down on the courts, threw off her
long brown sweater, gave a re-as-
surfing touch to her hair, yanked
her sleeves back, took a tight grip
on her racquet, and signaled to
Miss Dorothy Kershaw of Tacoma
that she was all ready.
Miss Sutton works something
like Ty Cobb. She's always NOV
ing. She waits for the ball like a
cat. Stands with her-well like
an inverted letter "Y" her white
slippers about two and half feet
apart, and pounces on the ball like
a flash. Her arms are Drowned
with the sun and there was a pink
ribbon in her hair. She made a
pretty picture.
OF course she won. Miss Ker-
shaw didn't expect to come within
80 or>100 miles of winning. The
gallery cheered the Tacoma girl
whenever she made a point. Once
or twice she seemed close to TAX
ing game. But Miss Sutton won
II straight, the score being 60,
60.
The best men players found
things easy yesterday, Tyler, Emer-
son and Breeze, all taking default

Trading Co. IN the Lake Superior re-
gion and renamed in their employ
four years, returning home July /,
1874, and on September 10th started
for the unknown forests of Wisconsin,
where he was to make his home
which he was destined to honor by
his exemplary and potent business
career. Reaching Buffalo he proceed
ed by steamer to Milwaukee, thence
by lumber wagon to Fort Winnebago
and on to Whitney Rapids and other
intermediate points. The most of his
journey from Fort Winnebago was
made afoot. Mir. Dessert reached
Mosinee, October 20, 1874, and from
that date until 1905 was a continuous
resident of Marabhon county. For
five years he worked for wages in the
solitudes of this vast wilderness, lum-
bering and logging on the river.
Then in 1849, he joined fortunes with
William Pencast, Henry G tie and
James Etheridge and started into the
lumber manufacturing business under
the firm name of Pencast, Dessert &
Co., Mr.. Desserts partners dropping
out of the firm one by one until 1859,
when he bought out the last one and
became the sole owner. He conducted
the business alone for twenty-one
years; then, in 1880, he admitted to
partnership mis- nephew Louis Dessert.
For ten years the business was under
the firm name of Joseph Dessert &
Co., and in December 1890 the present
Joseph Dessert Lumber Co. was in
corporated. The company as incor-
porated continued the lumber manu-
featuring business until 1905, when
they ceased the manufacture of lum-
ber Mr.. Dessert being the president;
his nephew, Louis Dessert, vice-presi-
dent and manager; III. M. Thompson,

i'm Canada; then, tempted by the prom
Use of adventure and profitable employ
ment, he sought the wilderness of the
far northwest. The spring of 1910
found him in the employ of the Ameri-
can Fur company, whose head was
John Jacob Astor, at L. Pointe, oppo-
site what is nov Ashland, Wis. Here,
and in the woods of northern Mime
sofa, he was employed until 1S44, be-
ing at La Pointe when the first treaty
was made by the United STATES with
the Chippewa Indians.
After visit to Canada, in 1874, he
returned to Wisconsin by way OF Mil
waukee, Having missed the last boat
for Lake Superior he started to walk
back to La Pointe. He got TO Mosinee,
or Little Bull Falls, Marathon county,
in October, having stopped EN- route
at the first sawmill built on the Wis
consin, with Daniel NJ. Whitney, its
owner, lat Point Bots, now Port
Edwards. AT Mosinee he got employ
ment with John L. Moore in n saw
mill, taking his pay in the spring in
lumber, which he marketed at Galena,
floating it down the Wisconsin and
Mississippi rivers. in few years he
became the owner of the mill, which
laid the foundation of the large for
tune he accumulated in later years.
He was an early county commissioner
and the first president If the village
of Mosinee.a
The following history OF Mr. Dessert
is taken from E. E. LaD1's Early
and Late" of Mosinee:
Mr. Joseph Dessert, whose biogra-
ply we now write, is a native o.
Canada, having been born in Maski-
nonge, Province of Quebec, January
8, 1919, being a son of Peter and
Melonie (Beaulienl Dessert, both ma
tives of that province. Twelve chill
dren were born TO his parents, none
of whom are now living except the
subject of this sketch. He attended
the schools Of the neighborhood ct
his fathers home and worked at ium-
bering in Canada Until he was twenty
two years of age. In 1s40 he entered
the eDploy af the American Fur and

Word reached here on Saturday after
noon of the death of Joseph Dessert,
whose name for over sixty years was
known to everyone throughout the
Wisconsin river valley. For the past
five years he had been residing with
Mr.. and Mrs. Henry M. Thompson,
the latter his daughter, in Miiwau-
kee. 1t had been known to number
of intimate friends that Mr.. Dessert
had been i'll for month past and was
failing, and to them the sad news of
his death did not come as a surprise.
The Milwaukee Sentinel says of Mr..
Dessert:
"Joseph Dessert died on Saturday,
December 31st, 1910, in the home
of his son-in-law, Henry M. Thomp-
son, 913 Cambridge avenue. Mr..
Desserts personal history is sim
gularly important as a part of the
early story of the settlement and de
velopment of Wisconsin and especially
of the valley of the Wisconsin river,
and it would not be stretching the
truth TO say that his long life was a
connecting link between the present
and the 'Ouisconsin' of the days of
wilderness romance, when the Jesuit
priest and the rollicking Uoyageur were
travelling the IEdian highways in
canoe and moccaSin.
Mr.. Dessert, had he lived eight days
longer, would have been 81 years old.
His father, Pierre Dessert, was of the
fifth generation to live on the family
acres at St. Joseph in the province OF
Quebec, where Joseph was born. His
mother was a Beaulieu, and among
her relatives were several who made
fur trading a business.

Thompson is also stakeholder. In
1862 Joseph Dessert was married in
Waukesha county to Miss Mary San
ford, daughter of William E. and La
yina t. Sanford, the former a native
% Connecticut, the latter of New
York state. Mr.. and Mrs. Dessert
have had two children, Marion NJ.
who died in infancy, and Stella,
wife of Henry NJ. Thompson, secre-
tary and treasurer of the Joseph Des-
sert Lumber Co. Mrs. Dessert died
July lst, 1881.
Mr.. Dessert, as can be seen by a
glance over his biography, came to
Mosinee in 1874, four years before
Wisconsin was admitted as state.
When he arrived at Mosinee, young
man 25 years of age, this place was
designated by name only as Little
Bull. The whole of this northern
part of the state was not yet divided
into countits and towns, and at that
early date the men working in the
lumber camps suffered very much for
provisions, as everything had to be
brought a long distance over a poor
trail, called road Mr.. Dessert told
me that at one time, while he was
employed in the logging camp, that
all they had to eat for a number of
days was nothing but salt pork and
blackstrap molaSSes. He said they
were not able on such diet TO do
very much work, but it kept them
alive. and there was no help for tbs
condition until supplies could be got
TO them. All was being done that
could be. There was no other way.
only to grin and bear it with as good
grace as possible, which the men did.
Mr.. Dessert being of very Observing
mind. and anxious to take advantage
of any opportunity TO better himself
that presented fair prospect of sue
cess, soon discovered an opening
xhere he was satisfied to make VEN
ture. And as We are informed in his
biography, entered into partnership
as related, and became the controlling
spirit in the different firms, under
which the lumber manufacturing has
